January's over already?

It was a great January! I think I'm gonna like 2011. Typically I despise January. The holiday partying is over, Darren gets busy with work again, and the weather is just blah. But look what we've been up to. First, we kept the partying going with the big Duck game which, as you know, didn't exactly go as we hoped. But boy did we throw a good party for the Young Men. Cool Bishop, right? This picture was taken after the game ended, hence Darren's thumbs down. He was a good loser, though.Darren did get busy with a project and worked his way through a weekend so we left him to go to a party! (Sorry, honey) Happy birthday to Caleb and Kellen! We had a great time in Portland with these cuties. Marc and Connie just treated us to non-stop fun.Not to mention hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Jolley again. Erica missed them.January had a lot of blah weather, but we had some fun stuff too. We had the perfect snow day. It snowed all night and school was delayed 2 hours so we could play in it! It was great packing snow and it melted the same day. Just the way I like my Seattle snow.Then we've had some gorgeous, clear days to get outside in. One Saturday we spent outside at Lincoln Park.Another day we walked to the park for a picnic.And this baby just keeps getting cuter. Hope you had a good January too!

My January was basically the opposite of that. Sick, sick, more sick, gorgeous weather that we couldn't play in, and more sick.

No wonder your January went by so fast, you were having so much fun!

Your kids are growing so much and getting so big...tell that baby to stop it.

REALLY hope we get to see you guys soon!

Jill, your posts make me SO HAPPY!!! I see those pictures and I just feel so happy. But I also feel really sad that i haven't seen you guys in forever and I'm actually DYING to meet that BEAUTIFUL erica! Is it march yet??? Darren is pretty much the coolest bishop, that warmed my heart for sure. And your the coolest mom for taking your boys to their cousins birthday. Thanks for the great post!

Wow, where have I been? This is such a cute post and I love seeing what has been going on. You did have a fun January and I felt the same way this year, it wasn't as bad a usual. You got more snow than we did. I love your birthday party pictures, that was so fun. That last picture of Erica is so adorable, in her little pink sweater. Can't wait to see you and the boys soon.
