2013 Year in Review...

Another awesome year in the books for our family.  We had a fantastic vacation and spent lots of time with friends and family at the beach.  Here are just a few of my favorite highlights.  You can see some of my previous posts here - 2010, 2011 & 2012.

In January we spent lots of time enjoying the beautiful weather.

February took us to Stephen Foster State park 

where we went camping for Will's 9th Birthday.

In March we celebrated Easter at our house with family and our annual egg hunt.

We took the kids down to Gainesville to the Orange & Blue game in April.

By the time May rolled around the kids were 

begging almost every day to swim at Mimi's house.

June was filled with so much Kindergarten fun I felt like Kiley and I moved into Cole's classroom permanently for the last few weeks of school.  Jonathan and I were also able to get away for a weekend in New Orleans to celebrate our 12th anniversary.

In July we traveled from Jacksonville to Seattle, where we vacationed for a week, and then we took the train to Chicago where we spent another week with the K-Crew.

August brought the start of First Grade & Cole's 7th Birthday.

In September both kids started the fall soccer season.  

This was Kiley's first time playing and she loved every minute of it.

Trick-or-treating in October.

This cutie turned 4 in November and we also had a blast 

camping at Blue Springs State Park over Thanksgiving weekend.

And December… we had a wonderful Christmas and have had so much fun just hanging out at home as well as playing with the new kayaks that Santa left us.

2012 Year In Review...

It's time for my most favorite post of the year; our year in review.  2012 was an incredible year for us.  We did lots of traveling, spent time with family and friends, and enjoyed our first full year in our new house.  In addition to the pics below we also had both of our parents sell their homes and move closer to us.  These are the childhood homes Jonathan and I grew up in and that they owned for 35+ years.  This happened in the span of about 45 days and it was a whirlwind, but everyone is now settled and just a stone's throw away.  You can can also see our 2010 and 2011 year in reviews.

In January Cole & Jonathan attended the Gator Bowl where our Florida Gators were playing.

In February we celebrated Will's 8th birthday with an awesome Lego party.

March brought us Cole's second season of soccer & a belated 10th anniversary cruise for Jonathan & I.

In April we celebrated Easter with our annual egg hunt.  

In May Cole & Kiley finished up school and we headed to the Georgia Mountains for a week.

In June we celebrated our 11th anniversary, Krisit & the girls came for a visit, and the kids enjoyed camp with their friends.

July was all fun, all the time.  We spent time at the water park, took a vacation to Miami, attended art class & played giant Jenga.

August brought Cole's 6th birthday and the first day of Kindergarten.

In September we went on our annual family vacation to St. Augustine.  Kiley also started dance class and loves it.    

In October we had a great time trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Kiley turned 3 in November & we spent a fantastic Thanksgiving camping with the family.

December has been a whirlwind of awesomeness.  We started the month with a most magical vacation to Disney World.  Followed by a lovely, long Christmas break for everyone (including Jonathan).

Our Year In Review...

It's time for my year in review post. We had a very busy year in 2011. We bought a lot, sold our old home, moved into a temporary apartment, oversaw the construction of our new home at the beach, and finally in November moved in. Whew. You can see our 2010 year in review here.

We moved the week after this was taken.

We visited the Sweetwater Inn, the site of our wedding reception.

July - Underwater fun in the pool.

August - On the stairs of our newly constructed home.

September - Our annual Beckham family vacation.

October - Trick-or-treating with Tinkerbell & Captain Hook.

2010 Year in Review...

I was going to title this "2010 Highlights" but the year began with a bumpy start, so I decided just to make it a year in review.  I'm very excited about what 2011 will bring to our little family.  We have some exciting plans for our travel, home, business and personal lives and it should be a fun year!

January was a tough month with the loss of my Dad,
our beloved Grandpa Bob.

February brought lots of much needed baby smiles and laughs. 
We also celebrated Will's 6th birthday.

In March Cole and I were able to fly to Chicago to
visit Kristi's family and celebrate Kaya's birthday. 
It was Cole's first time seeing snow.

April was our annual Easter celebration at our house.

The beginning of May Kiley suffered from pneumonia,
but we still enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day.

June was all fun in the sun. 
We did a lot of swimming and playing outside and
Cole played Summer Bingo. 
We also met up with Mimi and Papa in Busch Gardens.

In July Kristi, Kalli and Kaya came for a week to visit
and play in Jacksonville.

Cole turned 4 in August but we didn't officially
celebrate until later on at our Carnival Birthday Party.

In September we spent a week at the beach
during our annual family vacation.

October was full of Halloween celebrations
and two of the cutest little elephants.

In November Kiley turned 1 at the beginning of the
month and then we had a nice Thanksgiving at Nana's house.

December brought some much cooler weather,
another visit to Busch Gardens
and a lovely Christmas with family.
