We had a very excited year! We are so grateful for all of the blessings our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. We cannot wait to see what 2012 brings and to watch our sweet baby girl grow!

March: We told our families that our family would be growing by two feet :) Life got busy as the planting season started.

April: We celebrated Tanner's 24th birthday and we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time :)

May: We celebrated 2 years of marriage. Crazy how the time has flown.

June: We were supposed to find out te sex of our baby but stubborn, crosses legs made it hard. I felt the baby move for the first time this month! I quit my job because of morning sicknes difficulties and took more time to focus on preparing for the baby.

July: Finally found out we were having a girl after 3 ultrsounds! We enjoyed lots of family reunions.

September: The Fair and Harvest consumer our time.

October: Getting very anxious about the arrival of baby Breckyn. Many false alarms ;) and riding in the beet truck to hopefully bounce me into labor. My family threw me a baby shower. We recieved so many wonderful gifts to help us get started

November: We welcomed Breckyn Fay Vollmer in our family!

December: Spent lots of time together as a family and snuggling our beautiful baby.

My Birthday & Christmas

I had a great birthday this year! I turned the big 2-2. I spent it with my family and it was so much fun. My mom, Devonee, Rebecca & Victoria put on an amazing dinner! Then we all celebrated Christmas together since it was everyone's year to go to the othe families. We Sure missed Heather, Tyler & Riley.

A few days before Christmas we got to celebrate with to Corbridge family. It was so much fun we ate a lot of great food and played games. We got all the great grandkids together and we got this shot. I love it! Each kid is in their own little world :)

We spent Chritmas Eve in Blackfoot and enjoyed watching the grandkids perform the nativity. We spent Christmas day with Tanner's family. It was such a fun relaxing day. I wouldn't have spent it any other way. I actually really enjoying having Chritsmas on a Sunday this year. I was so nice to start of the day to be reminded of the true meaning of the season and to reflect on the Savior's birth. There was such a special spirit in our home this year with a newborn baby. I spent a lot if time reflecting on Mary on the circumstances that she was in and the humblness of our Savior's birth. I always say that I am going to keep the spirit all year round but this year i hope I truly strive to do so. Merry Christmas everyone.She was so excited to open her presents This is the best picture I could get of her with her presents. Santa was good to her .Ready to party.Waiting for Santa to come.All the parties wore her out :)

Breckyn & Brynlee

Breckyn is very lucky to have a friend who is so close in age already. Marcus and Hailey Bradshaw's little darling Brnylee was born in August. We love that they are so close in age. Hailey's family and mine have been friends forever, so Brynlee and Breckyn already had a friendship laid out. My sister Heather and Hailey have been best friends for years and we are so excited that Heather is also welcoming a baby girl in January. They will all be such great friends!

Rub-a-dub-dub

Breckyn is 5 weeks old now and has really started smiling. Tanner and I have been trying and trying to catch a picture of it and finally today I caught this...

This little girl always makes my day better!

Napping with Grandpa

I love having both our families so close. I also love Sunday visits with family! I snapped this picture of Breckyn and Grandpa Karl. I love it!

Santa's Little Reindeer

This little reindeer is one month old today! I can't believe how time is flying. I love her Christmas pj's. My Grandma JoAnn bought them for her. Grandpa Karl says she has hooves :)

Snuggling

I can't believe I am posting this picture. Tanner snapped this yesterday during our nap. It reminds me of my dad. He use to always take pictures of us while we were sleeping. As embarrassing as the picture is I still love it :)

beautiful baby girl

We traveled to Rigby to have Breckyn's newborns taken when she was just 8 days old. There were taken by Katie Wells. She did an amazing job. We love them. I will cherish these photos forever. Here are a few of our favorites
