11 years!

Eleven years down!

Sweet little Conor wanted to join in our picture this year!

This year wasn't quite as exciting as we had planned because of the Coronavirus, but maybe we will be able to take a quick trip once all of this is behind us!

Here is a trip down memory lane with our precious family. I could not be more proud of the family we have made!

Engagement dinner- 12 years ago

A couple weeks before our wedding we adopted these precious puppies. We are really missing our little boy. But our crazy Bailey keeps us plenty busy.

Our wedding day on April 25, 2009

Honeymoon in Turks and Caicos

1st Anniversary Trip to Vegas with a Helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon





Then came our sweet little Patrick in April 2011

Our second anniversary dinner was at Flemings a couple weeks after welcoming Patrick

We headed to Napa with a couple nights in Vegas for our third anniversary. We also went to the Flemings in Vegas.

Then came our sweet little Peyton in March 2013

Our 4th Anniversary, a couple weeks after welcoming Peyton, at Flemings.

We celebrated our 5th anniversary in Napa

But, we couldn't miss out on our tradition, so we went to the Fleming's in Palo Alto, California on our way home.

Then came our third little blessing, Conor, in February 2015

For our sixth anniversary, we had a laid back dinner at Flemings - 2 months after welcoming our sweet little Conor

And our seventh anniversary back at Flemings.

 

A couple weeks later we continued the celebration in D.C.

We spent our eighth anniversary at Fleming's and then went to L.A. Jackson, which is a rooftop bar overlooking the city.

A couple weeks later I joined Michael for a work conference in New Orleans. We went a little early for a belated anniversary getaway.

And then we welcomed our sweet little Caitie May in February 2018.

Back at Flemings for our 9 year anniversary dinner, 2 months after Caitie

We spent our 10th anniversary at a very rainy baseball game watching Patrick play and Michael pitch. We had planned to go out to a family dinner afterwards, but Peyton and Conor decided to jump in the rain and run up a sand mound. They were both covered in sand and mud. So we went home and ordered pizza and both fell asleep before actually opening our champagne. Definitely what our life looks like these days!

We went on the most fun 10th anniversary trip last year to Puerto Rico! It was such a blast!

Michael and I had talked about going to Asheville for our anniversary this year for a long weekend, but we will have to postpone. Hopefully we can make that happen sometime soon!

Minje's 36th Birthday

Another year has come and gone. This one was a little depressing since we were still in quarantine. I did love all the extra time with my family this year though.

One of my sweet friends from high school dropped off her famous cake. 

And then good friends stopped by with a mobile bar for distanced social drinking!

Wednesdays are the kids screen free days where they do their specials and catch up on any work. So it was a great day to have my birthday since we had a lot more flexibility. 

Caitie did not like that someone else was getting more attention than her. 

I do love that she still likes to cuddle and nap.

We had a drive-by for my birthday and then had a fun family disco dance party. It was a great time!

A couple days later we celebrated with our usual zoom crew. It was fun as always 

Hopefully we will be able to get out of the house and celebrate all our milestones soon!

Quarantine and Homeschool Weeks 3 and 4

We had more homeschool! We tried to get outside as much as possible in between the large amounts of school work.

The big boys learned to ride their bikes, so we got a little one out for Caitie to try out.

More zoom call birthdays

Took a little outing to pick up some food.  Caitie was thrilled! Little girl is used to being in the car a lot and was singing and having a blast. 

Nap time with her babies

Easter was a little sad being at home, but we definitely made the best of it. 

Family movie night with the Easter movie, Hop.

P.E. class with the whole family!

Disney Family sing along show was really fun

More art projects

And water balloons outside by the trampoline is always a fun break from school!

We made it another couple weeks!
