A Memorable Year

December 31, 2011

2011 has flown by, but not without changing our lives forever! Here is a look back at our busy but wonderful year...

Landon's 1st Round Up: In January our baby turned ONE. We celebrated his birthday with so many of our wonderful family and friends.

Look at all these beautiful kids

Landon loves to share with daddy

In March we took a vacation to Kauai (Brian and Landon's first trip to Hawaii). It was a beautiful and relaxing trip before our family of 3 became a family of 4. Here are a few pictures from our trip...

In May we were blessed with our second little love: Linkin Kruz. It was a very big surprise when we found out we were pregnant, but so very happy that life took this unexpected turn. Our boys are so amazing and Landon has been an incredible Big Brother.

In August we celebrated the beautiful wedding of our friends Lindsay & JJ in Tahoe. We were honored to be a part of their big day by doing their wedding photography. Here are a few of my favorites from their special day:

Lastly, our year has come to an end with another wonderful Christmas surrounded by our friends and family and the addition of another sweet baby for our wonderful friends Camille and Joe. We look forward to meeting and loving on sweet baby Annabella very soon!

We end this year with Landon about to turn 2 in another week and our little Link is 8 months old tomorrow. The saying "Time flies when your having fun" rings true now more than ever. As we look forward to 2012, we can't wait to watch our boys grow, but hope the time doesn't go by too fast! Here's to the New Year and the wonderful surprises that are in store for us and those we love. We are praying for health and happiness for our family and friends in 2012! And while we look ahead at what the future may bring, we take comfort in knowing that although we may not have it all together, Together we have it all!
