Welcome to Memories, Dreams & Reflections. The wonderful Ashley Sisk came up with this great list to help you remember the greatest moments from 2010. I had so much fun looking back at all of my photos. Some of these you have seen before and a couple of them are new. I still can not believe that 2010 is over already. Seems like it just started and I was anxiously awaiting the birth of my baby boy Carsyn. I remember worrying all the time how I was going to handle 2 kids. In all honesty it has not been that bad. I am looking forward to what 2011 will bring. I can’t wait to get to know all of you better.
Me!

He had so much fun finger body painting. He really doesn’t like to get messy, but he sure did love coloring himself.

“Opening presents is so tiring” Dustyn was exhausted during his 2nd Birthday. He didn’t have a nap and you could tell by the way he was acting.

This photo inspires me because the red leaves are different then the green. Shows me that you don’t have to fit in all the time. I love it.

I love acorns that fall during Autumn. I really had a lot of fun taking photos during Autumn, I had a hard time picking one photo. Figured this one best described harvest, since the squirrels harvest acorns.
Family
