Babies, babies, babies

In the last few weeks we have heard about so many babies that will be born this year! We both have a sister (or sister-in-law) due this summer not to mention several close friends and cousins. A shout out to all of you who are expecting and due between now and August! Ben and I did notice that there are a lot of you due in July....anything to do with the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 - just curious. ;) No, really congratulations to all of you and we hope to hear from you as your family grows and those little ones come. Also, if anyone has any unique girl names that aren't too weird - I'm looking for suggestions. ;) Here's to the babies of 2012!

A Glimpse of 2011 Backwards

Since I am a total slacker and left out the entire year last year, I thought I would make an attempt to give you a shortened and quick glimpse of 2011 at the Strong's starting with December and heading backward through the year:

Merry Christmas - Santa Boys!

A November snow - enough to make a snowman, and then crush him.


Happy Halloween! Two Kratt Brothers (thank you PBS) and a Green Crayon.

Jedi Knight Training at the cabin with Strong's

The passing of Abbey's Grandpa Christensen - last of the grandparents for Abbey, and very much missed.

Waiting for a pony ride at the State Fair.

Mt. Timpanogos - way to go awesome hikers!

Fishing at Bountiful Lake - hope to do more next year.

Building the shed - one month, and one awesome shed! Thanks Uncle Nate and Chris for helping.

Happy 4th of July! Lots of parades, food, family, and fireworks! Love the summer!

Kindergarten Graduation - way to go B

Delicate Arch - three boys hiked up, one hiked down, but it was a blast!

Happy 35th Anniversary Mom and Dad - both Moms and Dads!

After an emotional struggle we decided to say good-bye to Kitty. Happy to announce he was later adopted, and we hope all is well with his new home. We miss you Kitty!

Hardward Ranch on a cold January day when Daddy could have a day to hang out with his boys. They thought it was great, and we just might have to do it again someday!

We hope your 2011 was as much fun and memorable for your family as ours was for us! Happy New Year, and may it be absoloutely wonderful!
