You know the drill, here's ours....11 in 11

Gosh.. before this year gets along much further, I must do my 2011 post.   As a family we decided on this list.  It was a great year of growth for our each of us.  We are extremely grateful for all we learned and experienced and for those that helped us along the way! 

1) Troy and Scheris' trip to Banff and Jasper National Parks in Canada
2) Nick pointed out that our Olympic National Park Beach Hike was a lifetime highlight
3) Troy was accepted into UW's Computer Science Program
4) Mike and Cindy (Troy's dad and stepmom) drove west and painted our house
5) Scheris met up with family she had never met, gained a HUGE appreciation for my heritage, gathered pictures, stories, and got a jump start on two big projects:  Record my Grandma's life story and create a heirloom recipe box of my own. 
6) Alyssa and Scheris spent nearly two weeks in Utah and attended all sessions of General Conference
7) We flew east and spent Christmas in Pella with Troy's dad and stepmom
8) Alyssa was thrilled to begin using the Liahona Online Education Program
9) Troy produced a great garden and graduated to having a greenhouse
10) Alyssa got to attend the temple and be a proxy for loved ones
11) Troy thinks that our top 11 is that Roxy is down 24 lbs this to a slip 78 lbs, way to go Skinny Doggy... however, no mention of his wife's 40 lb loss, I guess we know who his best friend is!
