I wanted to document the Legge's Life for the year 2010 here on my blog. I actually started this post in early January, but set it aside to work on other things. I still want to post it and hope you all will forgive me for posting it three months later. I can't believe I haven't posted anything since October! I must have been really busy these past few months. Plus I won't allow myself to post anything current until I get this one on the blog.
The year 2010 started with a most amazing day in the Grand Caymans. Swimming with Sting Rays and walking on gorgeous beaches. We took the family on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. This was by far my favorite island that we visited.

In Mid February we started our major remodel on our Kitchen and Bathroom/Laundry Room. I love our new kitchen so much I wish we had done it years ago. Now almost a year later we pretty much have a new house! I love it!

| New Kitchen!! |
During the remodel I used our basement as a make shift kitchen. I would cook meals in the slow cooker, rice cooker, wok, griddle, microwave and toaster oven. We used the outside grill a lot and washed the dishes in the bathroom sink. It was a bit crazy, but we made it work.

At the end of February John and I took a trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We swam in Cinotes, climbed ruins, rode bikes, swam with turtles, ate great grilled chicken, fed a monkey, went on a zip line and talked ourselves out of a mexican speeding ticket!

I traveled to California a couple of times to help with The Ruffled Feathers Eatery (My sister's restaurant). Great place to eat when you're in San Jose.

Our tree gave us beautiful Apricots this year. We don't usually get many apricots, because we have an early fruit bearing tree and the spring snows freeze our blossoms. So, I was thrilled to have so many apricots. I made pies (with Rielley's help) and apricot syrup (my favorite).

We enjoyed picnics in the canyons after church. It's a great way to cool down on hot sabbath days.

We enjoyed Bear Lake, floating down Provo River, and Shooting The Tube

I look back over the year 2010 and have great memories of fun times and great accomplishments. But the camera cannot capture the most important things: love for my God, husband and children, health, faith and PEACE!! Life is good.
