Hmmmmm......Let's try this again!

Again, I totally blame my absence on Facebook. Why spend all this time blogging when you can let the world know you just finished folding your laundry on your Facebook status? However, while making Landon's baby book, I found my blog to be extremely helpful in remembering details that have since become quite fuzzy in the last two years. So, here I am again!

My last REAL post was clear back in June. I talked about our July trip to Canada in November. So, here are a few missing pieces of the Van Orman's 2010:

While the kids and I were in Canada, Dayv did some remodeling. Here are the before and after pictures of the floors in our entryway and upstairs bathroom.

The first Ron and Janelle Van Orman Family Reunion was held August 14, 2010. 7 of Dayv's 10 siblings were there. And the wife of one of the brothers that couldn't come was there along with their kids. We thought 9 out of 10 families represented plus parents was quite a good turnout! Mark Barber (good friend that took our family pictures in 2009) took pictures of everybody at Murray Park.



Dayv's brother Chris and family stayed with us while they were here. They are from Edmonton. The kids loved spending so much time with their cousins.

Carson started 2nd grade and Tahirah started kindergarten in September. Carson has Miss Kirsten and Tahirah as Mrs. Hillyard. They are both doing VERY well and love their teachers. I couldn't be any happier with their school.

We put our house up for sale in October and have had no interest whatsoever. Which doesn't bother me any but Dayv feels a little differently. One really great thing that came out of putting the house up for sale is we got a lot of unfinished projects done. We painted the living room, entryway, downstairs hallway and (the MOST exciting) the boys' bedroom - a project that has been going on for 4 years!!!







Halloween was fun for the kids, as usual! We had two army men, a monkey and Rapunzel. Rain really put a damper on the Trick or Treating but the kids survived.



We forgot our camera when we went up at my parent's house for Christmas :(

The kids are really growing up! Landon has also become quite the Daddy's boy. He goes to Daddy when he is hurt and pretty much hangs on to him from the moment he walks in the door from work.



Something else that happened last year that was not documented with photos is DAYV PASSED HIS STATE ELECTRICAL JOURNEYMAN'S TEST!!!! Since he is union, he still has school until August but we were THRILLED to say the least!


So, all in all 2010 was a pretty good year!!
