Review of 2010!

2010 was an amazing fun-filled year for the Roblyer Family! Here's a look back at the highlight's of our year:
In February, Jordan turned 12 years old and was ordained a Deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood! Isn't he a handsome he a handsome young man!!
In March, our family headed to the happiest place on earth- Disneyland! Chloe celebrated her 13th birthday in Disneyland! Our family had a blast!


!


In April, Matt had a work conference in Prague, Czech Republic & Chloe accompanied him. A volcano erupted in Iceland and disrupted travel in Europe causing the conference to be canceled, and turning the trip into a full-blown vacation! Luckily, the airports re-opened on the day Matt & Chloe were originally scheduled to fly home so they weren't stranded over there longer than planned!






In June, Jordan attended his first ever MDA (muscular dystrophy association) Camp. He had so much fun and can't wait for camp in 2011! Notice the name on this photo- I always send the kids off to their camps with a camera full of film or batteries, and they always come back empty. Imagine my surprise when I was visiting one of my favorite blogs and came across photos from the MDA Summer Camp and Jordan was in a few!! It truly is a small world. Amy, is the creative genius behind The Idea Room Blog and an amazing person to devote time to the MDA Summer Camp- have a LOOKSEE at her blog http://www.theidearoom.net/

Also in June, Chloe attended Oakcrest Girls Camp for the first time. She said it was one of the most amazing experiences of her life and when she grows up she hopes to be a counselor at Oakcrest!

{will post photos as soon as I find them!}



Matt also returned to Prague in June for the conference that had to be re-schedule from April because of the volcano.




July was our lazy days of summer- except for Matt who was travelling half the month for work. One week in Connecticut & another week in San Diego. The kids had fun hanging out with friends and playing around. There was only one minor speed bump that month - our itty bitty kitty lost her marbles one day (of course while Matt was away) and attacked Jordan. We still don't know what set her off, but thankfully there have been no other incidents and her & Jordan are once again friends





August was Chloe's Hunter-Copperhills Stake Camp. Once again, she had a blast camping and loves her friends and wonderful young women leaders!






We went to Lagoon with our besties in August!

Jordan & Matt went to the Father's and Son's Camp-out, where it rained and rained, and rained! They still managed to have fun & were saved because a friend had already arranged for them to stay in a warm cozy trailer with them!

In September, Jordan went on a Scout Camp-out with his troop (consisting of him and Ammon) to Trial Lake!



Matt did more travelling in September- Stamford, Connecticut once again! Matt & I also celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary on September 9th! We celebrated by going to the Lion King at Capitol Theatre!

November was our annual stay downtown the day after Thanksgiving! We saw the lighting of Temple Square and stayed the night at the Hilton.

December was a month full of the kid's performances: Chloe's Studio Christmas Dance Concert, Jordan's Band Concert, Chloe's Orchestra Performance, and of course topping it all off with a very Merry Christmas!


2010 was filled with many adventures, life-time experiences, and lots of smiles! No doubt that 2011 will be filled with just as many adventures, life-time experiences, and smiles! We feel very blessed and can't wait to see what the New Year brings us!!

My World Is Nuts

Matt was printing out some of his Prague pictures for my scrapbooking project, and, as Matt usually does, he decided to do something different while I was in the middle of a task. As Matt printed out the above photograph he also translated what the sign said - especially the phrase below my name. Matt was all full of chuckles as the translation came back as "World Is Nuts." He said that fit me perfectly.

Scrapbooking

After getting 400+ photos off the digital camera of Matt & Chloe's trip to Prague from this past April, I thought I was all set to get them into the scrapbook. Turns out it's a lot harder to scrapbook a journey I did not partake in.

Needless to say, I did not get a lot accomplished during my scrappin' get together with my friend Jenny, today. I did have a blast chatting & checking out her fancy gadget (The Gypsy), which is currently on my wish list!!

Chloe did save me and helped me organize and jot down names of buildings and places her & her dad visited while on the other side of the world when she got home from school. This is what the 400+ photos now look like all organized and ready to be put into the scrapbook!

I will post pictures of my progress as I get pages finished. I am giving myself ONE WEEK to complete this project. (Maybe posting this goal on here will keep me motivated with the project ;))
