It seems like it’s only been a couple of months since our last Year In Review! This year has flown by. We have had a very blessed year; good health, another year wiser, a couple of fun trips, Brad adopted a couple of children, we gained a neice and a couple of new nephews, Brad’s hair got thinner and my hair got shorter! Looking back, we’ve had a fun year, but it hasn’t been as “Kingdom impacting” as I would have liked for it to be. So that will be our focus as a family for 2011! Our goals are to grow closer to God, Spend more quality time as a Family, Exercise more and pick up a few more outdoor adventures, and to be better friends, and better at our jobs. Here are some photos to highlight The Seaman Family in 2010:
In the Spring, Brad, Evie, Lily, and I along with a group of close friends, went on an amazing Caribbean Cruise. Evie’s 7th Birthday, happened while on the cruise, so it was a perfect present for her. We visited San Juan, St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, and Dominica all in one trip, and since we did so much, there are lots of photos that I just couldn’t leave out!
Everyone on the trip with us, were so good to Evie and Lily and treated them just like their own children. We are blessed to have such amazing friends.
Sunburnt on the first day…
St. Thomas was just stunning! The clearest waters I have ever seen!
We learned how to snorkel and Lily is a snorkeling machine!
Evie played it a little safer….
We had to check out all of the local goods on each Island.
The dinners were amazing, I swear we all gained several pounds on this trip!
Brad got rewarded with a kiss after surprising his three lovely ladies with a rose at dinner!
The waterfalls and rain forests of Dominica were spectacular!
Evie and Lily loved that they got to sleep on bunk beds in our cabins. It was a dream come true for them! 🙂
In Barbados, we rented our own private Catamaran for the day, and I highly recommend doing so if you ever go on a cruise. We had so much fun, and the crew cooked us lunch and served us drinks. We also got to swim with sea turtles and see them close up! Probably my favorite part of the trip.
We had a dance party on the trampoline aboard our catamaran….
Our departing photo with our crew….
We played on a secluded beach by the Pitons on St. Lucia. Also a very beautiful place…
Oh, and I learned this cool new feature on my camera. I was lovin’ Sepia!
Nicholas….
Every night after dinner, we came home to a new creature on our beds, made from towels. Clever!
St. Kitts was like our own little peice of HEAVEN!!!
Brad’s signature pose….
Enjoying a little Island Flavor…my picky daughter, Evie, was not enjoying it so much.
More snorkeling….
We experienced volcanoes up close and personal, and the sulfur smell that comes with them!
Nick and Brad, this needs to go in their offices!
The whole crew minus Julie…..
It’s funny how your body looks so much better in the air and in water…..
I married Mr. GQ!
I love this picture of Becca, the girls, and I…
A great Father/Daughter moment….
Nick and Brad….
Rebecca, Julie, and I….
Evie, loving the sand!
This was our last dinner on the ship, so we got our picture taken with our waiters…
And after we came home from our super fun vacation, my neice Ava Reese, was born!! Isn’t she so cute!?
In June of 2010, I had my 10 Year High School Reunion, that myself and a couple other high school friends planned. It was great to see everyone after 10 years!! We didn’t have a five year reunion, so it had been a loooong time.
Emily and I, trying to re-live our youthful sexiness. 🙂
Then, on July 15th, my baby boy turned 1!!!
Also, in July, we moved to a new house! It has a pool, which was a lot of fun over the summer. We love our new home. 🙂
In August, Lily started Kindergarten and Evie began 2nd grade! My girls are growing up fast.
Off to school….and yes, I cried.
September 7th, Lily turned 6! I decided to go into the Children’s Party Planning business, and this was my first party…to see all the pictures from Lily’s Luau, you can go here!
Then, something very special happened on August 11th, 2010….Brad became the legal Father of Evie and Lily!!! I couldn’t ask for a better Father for them.
The Seaman Girls…..
Gifts, with their new Last Name….
The proud parents…
Labor Day weekend we took a trip to Pigeon Forge with my Mom, Dad, Sister and her family, and Brother and his family. We had a very relaxing, good time. Well, all except for when we lost Evie in the mountains!! Thank God for the family from Alabama who walked up the mountain with her to find us. And thank God that Evie had my cell phone number memorized!!
And to the end of the year, we took our annual trip up to Northern Indiana to pick out our Christmas tree, and enjoy the fun of the season. 🙂
Happy New Year to all, and what better time to look back at such a great year than on Brad and My, three-year Anniversary!!!
