And then, 3 YEARS Later. . .

2010 - A year in Pictures! 

Because obviously I got WAY behind blogging!
 
The Year 2010 in Pictures!  Hang on, we've got some catching up to do!
 
 January 2010 - Maia was 4 1/2 months old and pretty much the star of most of our picture-taking!
 The end of January - Grandma and Granpa Bradshaw came and we got to drop them off at the MTC!  1 week later Grandma Bradshaw passed away.  David had a dangerous reaction to some medicine for his back and ended up in the hospital for a while right after we got back from Grandma's funeral.  That was a rough little while for our family!
 March 2010 - all together again and ready for Easter.
 April 2010 - Maia learned to crawl!  (8 months)
 May 30, 2010 - Katie turned 11! 
 June 1, 2010 - Ben turned 4!
 June 16, 2010 - Braden turned 9!
 July 2010 - Shawcroft Family Reunion.  Erika's family won the Oscar for Best, Most Hilarious Skit EVER with their rendition of the Shawcroft parents in Colorado.  Starring Erika as Harriet, Jeremy as David, Owen as Rebecca, and Landon as Rachel.  We laughed until we cried!
 July 2010 - Maia tried experimenting with new food combinations.  Spaghetti and sucker!

 July 2010 - the awesome San Diego Zoo!  With Aunt Julie and Granpa Bradshaw it was even better!

 August 18, 2010 - Maia turned 1!  What an adorable little birthday girl!
 August 2010 - What!  Back to school time already?  Ben was going to preschool, Katie was starting 6th grade, and Braden 4th grade. 
 August 2010 - While the big kids went back to school, Maia kept cool by hanging out in the kitchen sink!  (12 months)

 Kate - 11 - the cowgirl!
