As I reflected on 2011, I found it funny the moments captured by my go-everywhere device. I am still a "real camera" girl, so it's in no way a complete picture of what kept us busy and having fun, but an interesting take none the less. Thought I would share.
 |
| Lots and lots of snow. |
 |
| Left the snow for a bit in March to meet a dear friend's new baby, Ellie, in Charleston, SC. |
 |
| I got to meet a coworker's new babe born in April. I should probably note that Sara (pictured above) is not the Sarah who mothers this child. |
 |
| Logan and I did a 5K together by the Capitol. |
 |
| Logan had a rough go of it. |
 |
| Apparently I was proud of my "blooming" gardening skills. |
 |
| My little bro came to visit, and we taught him to climb at Momentum. |
 |
| We (Haley, Bo, Charlie, and me) went on a road trip in June to visit Grandma Syd and Grandpa Peter in Southern California. We met up with Dad there as well. |
 |
| I just love my sis. So sad to leave her! |
 |
| Mud run at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. |
 |
| The first of several trips to Michigan the summer/fall of 2011 for weddings. We took a few perfect, relaxing days at the Earl Family cottage in Harbor Springs. |
 |
| And...I got to see piglets that were recently born at a nearby farm! |
 |
| We got to spend a lot of time on the water thanks to our friend, Rich, taking us out on his ski boat. |
 |
| Another fun night with some of the strong and beautiful women in my life. |
 |
| We headed up to Heber, UT for a BBQ, where we finally met Wyatt and Violet, twin babes brough into the world by our dear friends Warren and Phoebe. |
 |
I played a lot of softball this spring and summer. And this is one of the few photos I have to prove it. Logan made it to quite a few games.
|
 |
| Let's just say this photo captures the fun of several summer BBQs. |

Charlie's cousin Elizabeth's wedding in Gross Pointe, Michigan. |
 |
| A post-wedding stop at Coney Island in Detroit. Suits and chili dogs go oh so well together. |
 |
| A stop off in Ann Arbor to visit an old friend and check in on the Wolverines. |

Charlie and I finally got a chance to visit the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. Such a magical place, albeit fairly small. I was fascinated by this "house kitty" looking creature. |
 |
| A night out with my lovely lady friends. It began with football watching and ended with dancing. |
 |
| I turned 29 and wasn't that happy about it. Charlie let me pick out these boots. Finally, a pair of Frye's in my wardrobe. |
 |
| We got a Crate and Barrel in Utah finally where I purchased these Logan-proof pillows. |
 |
| Charlie and I took a break from chaos and stress for brunch, where we rediscovered Oasis Cafe. Oh so yummy! |
 |
| We saw Kid Rock perform at a small venue in Salt Lake. Great show with a great view! |
 |
| Spoiled rotten at Christmas. Also, it's important to note that we picked out a darn good tree this year. And Charlie agreed to let me put ribbon on it. |
 |
| A pre-Christmas visit from my bro, sis and her man, and Dad and his girlfriend |
 |
| We were very excited to stay up at Snowbird in a roomy condo with a view and a fireplace. |
 |
| A little post Christmas exhaustion. |
 |
| A very low-key New Years Eve with a small group of friends. It should be noted that I was too lazy to dress "fancy", which is why I chose to show up in flannel and a beanie. But hey...I was wearing my new diamond earrings (a Christmas gift from Charlie) so that's gotta count for some fancy points. |
what's a guy gotta do to get a picture in the 2011 recap
