2010 review

since i have been such an outstanding blogger this year - LOL!

i thought it would be fun to recap some highlights of our year.

embellish IT! sponsored a scrapbook cruise on royal caribbean. we decided to leave the 2 little ones home & bring the older 2 kids & steve's parents (they were ALOT less work :) we went to mexico & enjoyed 7 days of great food, sun & no diapers!








somebody turned 1 this year ... it was hard having my last baby turn 1




easter with many cousins! 12 out of 16 - missing the shane rushing family




we LOVE baseball - not sure who loves it more... the player, the coach(steve) or me!




brock graduated from preschool - this is the only time i have ever seen brock embarrassed




august is the start of FOOTBALL - doesn't last very long but it is VERY intense around here! keegan is the cutest cheerleader but mom is for sure the loudest! that is jake with the ball - love that guy hanging onto his shirt






we participated in a walk with my cousin who was walking for kids that need prosthetics from salt lake city to st.george. the kids really enjoyed walking for a cause & keegan LOVED that it made her "famous" (we were in the newspaper the next day).




another cruise sponsored by embellish IT! this time to eastern caribbean for a week- a total ME trip: beach, food, scrapbook & little sleep :) sometimes work obligations sure are tough to swallow LOL

halloween is always one of our most favorite times of the year




thanksgiving at grandma's - 4 of 5 of my siblings & families were there. here is a pic of me & my 2 sisters with my mom. then one of our little family.






last but not least - our family trip to hawaii.

Merry Christmas!

we have been blessed & busy this year...

jake has had a good year in sports playing baseball & football.he has enjoyed having his dad coach him & steve loves talking/watching sports with someone who is just as interested in sports as he is. jake is very responsible & a great example to his younger siblings & thinks crew is the coolest baby ever!

keegan has had a very busy year this year & loves having lots to do (remind you of someone else?) she loves dance, gymnastics, cheer, scrapbooking, shopping & sometimes piano. she has been such a great help this year being brock’s other mom. keegan & mom love our “girl time” together & take full advantage of it!

brock has more personality than anyone can imagine. he is always the center of attention & the life of the party! he constantly gives hugs & loves to cuddle. he has had to learn this year how to be a big brother & has transitioned into that role very well. he loves everybody, anywhere, anytime (even his brother crew).

crew is our cabose but he thinks he is the engine (& usually he is). competing with so many strong personailities in our family, he definately holds his own!he is a little prankster & full of life. unlike our other kids, he loves his sleep.

steve & shelby are loving every minute of life. embellish IT! is keeping us busy enough but we continue to cut back on traveling so much. we enjoy what we do & feel fortunate we are able to spend so much time together. steve looks forward to when work doesn’t interfere with his
coaching & shelby wants more beach time - other than that life could not be better! as we reflect on 2010, we are so grateful for our savior, family & friends. we wish you a merry christmas & the best in 2011.
