Aw so cute! I am a little younger than you I think (I’m 27) & I am getting married in July and then after that I hope God blesses my family with all amazing things like you guys 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Sarah @ The Strength of Faith says
Wonderfully done! I love the music – I did a photo montage this year, but shoved everything into one song. Cutting out photos was like Sophie’s Choice! Next year – more than one song!
Brigid says
I love a good photo montage and ending it with a Taylor Swift song was just icing on the cake for me. Side note – ummm any chance your brother-in-law is single and wants to date a 26yo Chicagoan? Just kidding. But only sort of 🙂 haha. Seriuosly, those Bowers are handsome men (Will included)!
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family!
Amy Wolff says
Do you guys have a dog? For some reason I didn’t know that…
Also how are you Pittsburgh Steeler Fans? I live and am from Pittsburgh!
D says
I hope 2011 blesses you with just as many joyous memories as 2010!
sarah says

Kristen says
So cute. You have a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing.
Jennifer says
Precious! You have to share what song that first one was, I loved it!
Liane says
So sweet!!! I cried through the whole months of April and May- I blame the pregnancy hormones. 😉 Our April 2011 will look much the same, except we’re expecting a baby girl! Thanks for sharing your memories.
Christina@Lessons of a Newlywed says

Goodness gracious you have an adorable family. Those eyes of your little one are going to cause trouble one day. Watch out ladies!
JenM says
Sooo wonderful! Amazing photographs of a beautiful family. You are so blessed and I love that you don’t take that for granted. Here’s to a fantastic 2011!
Betty says
What a special video and a wonderful thing to be able to look back on in the years to come! Looks like 2010 was a fantastic year for you and your family. 🙂
Nicole says
Oh what a neat video!! You guys make such a cute couple and family, I absolutely love your blog! So, here’s a question for ya..I found these small (roughly 4″h x 3″w x 3/4″d) hanging blocks and I want to paint them a light gray to hang above a dresser in my room. My mood board is kind of a dark plum, grays and champagne colors…They say “laugh” right now but do you have any other suggestions what I could put across the five blocks? Thanks alot!
Funnelcloud Rachel says
Love it! Good looking family and beautiful photography. I hope to get my 2010 recap video posted this week, but only three days into the new year and I’m already behind! Happy happy 2011 to you and your family!
sarah {handbagsnpigtails} says

Lauren says
Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Leah says
Katie you are a very talented photographer!
Lesley says
Loved this! thanks for sharing. what software did you use to put the montage together? I used to use pinnacle but am in the market for a new one as it constantly crashes on me.
georgia says
I love the photo of u pregnant in the Bath. Its a lovely pic.
You have had an amazing year! hope you 2011 is just as amazing for you all. x
Sangeetha says
Loved it! what a way to start the year. You should post a tutorial on how you create it with the sources of the songs…Also didnt realize the different hairstyles you had during lastyear. May be a video on styling hair?
Breanna says
I love seeing the pictures of Will. He is a cutie-pie! You are one blessed girl!
Colleen says
I loved your video!!! The pics of you pregnant and when you had your precious boy were SO SWEET!!! thank you for sharing this heartfelt montage of your family!!!
christine b says
Super cute! Love the Ray M. song
Julie says
Very sweet! Your pictures are amazing and it looks like you have a wonderful family and friends to capture in photos!
Katie says
Lesley…it’s actually Windows Live Movie Maker…it came on my computer when we bought it. I’m fancy like that 🙂

Katie says
My hair styling video would go something like this: grab hair, grab rubber band, try to get 95% of hair into rubber band as quickly as possible. Oh so fancy. And yes, I should have posted the song sources…but this highlights reel is just for our home…so it felt weird to list song sources on a personal montage. I will probably go back and include them in the body of the post 🙂

Jessica says
You did an amazing job on the video, Katie! I loved it.
Kelsi @ Modern Mom Redefined says
wow! ok, i have officially (as of now) cried on someone who i haven’t ever mets montage. it was gorgeous. that Baby Mine song hits the soft spot of the ol’ ticker, and Will is just so beautiful! I can not WAIT to get hitched and have more babies!!! thanks for sharing!
ps. i have been meaning to write you and say thanks again for the philosophy gels. i LOVE them! i always remember when i’m in the shower and then forget once i’m out. gah the joys of being wet and having a spacy mommy mind! anywho, thanks a ton! even my four year old likes the shimmers from the snow bottle. i won’t share much with him (i’m not THAT nice lol) and the bit that he gets he apparently “turns to snow” the body part that he rubs it onto. so yes, i turned gel into a learning tool but whatever! thanks bunches for making our winter sweeter!! =)
Lindsay says
I have been crying since the end of January…. :o)
Kelly says
The video isn’t working for me… :o( I’ll check back later…
Deborah says
What can I say, what a beautiful recap of a wonderful year, and most importantly thanks for letting us ride along with you. Favorite pic is Will with his overalls and beret hat. What a DOLL, and I must say he is a mini me of daddy. What a wonderful keepsake. Can’t wait for you to get started on 2011.
Heather E Transue says
Katie – Thanks for sharing so much of you and your family. I can see the love! You take beautiful pictures, but I have just one question. Who takes the beautiful pictures of you? There are so many great ones that you are in as well. You and your family are very photogenic. I can’t wait to see what you get into during 2011.

Jules says
What a beautiful video Katie.
Clare says
You and your family are too beautiful. And is your son not the most precious thing ever!!! Thank you for sharing this – it was beautiful and made me want to do the same thing with my 2010 pictures (and upgrade to a new camera) Happy 2011 to you and yours!
Kelly says
That was beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Jen says
Love!
maggie says
I want to know too! who takes all the great pictures of you and will? does the boyfriend?
Carley says
you live a beautiful life! great tribute to 2010.
Lesley says
Thanks!
Lesley says
Wow I just checked my computer and didn’t even realize that I have the program. Saaaa..weet! can’t wait to try it, it sort of looks like the other program I have used 🙂
Stacy says
Wow – just more proof to how awesome God is! He is so good!
Katie says
Yup – he sure does. He hates the camera so I set up all the settings and then he takes over 🙂 In the last year, he has been more proactive about learning how to change things…but yeah, it’s a challenge for him.

Erin says
Beautiful! I love your belly pics against the brick background, did you do one every week?? You look so pretty, we did weekly belly pics and I look like a hot mess in most of them.
Also, love that it looks like the majority of Will’sclothes are from babyGap… I get most of our 6month old daughter’s clothes there, too! I’d say 90% are babyGap and Old Navy. I’m a Gap Silver card holder and I have no shame 🙂
Cari says
Too sweet! Every time I watch a slide show I tear up…even if I don’t know the people! HA!
Allison @ House of Hepworths says
Katie,
What a beautiful video! You are so great at photography as well as putting together videos that really tug at your heartstrings!
You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I wish you the very best in 2011!
I feel like I know you so well, but you probably don’t even know me at all! I’d love to get to know you better.
Take care,
Allison @ http://www.houseofhepworths.com
Collette says
Oh. my. goodness.
I watched your reel just because I wanted to stay current on your blog…but I was amazed by what it included. I honestly felt like laughing, crying, touching my computer screen…and I probably cheesed and shook my head while watching…
One photo of you smiling somewhere in the middle made me feel, for a brief second, this URGENCY to meet you! You and your family are wonderful–I know God has blessed you because you live a life deserving of such blessings! To your man, I say “GO VOLS!”
To you, I say don’t ever stop this magical ride! I will be riding right along with you in 2011!
**And WHAT amazing camera do you use? Are you a genius at Photoshop, or what?!
julianna says
Your skin looks amazing. Would you mind sharing what products you use?
Lindsey says
What a great video Katie! Thank you so much for sharing your life and your family with your readers. You are my coffee in the mornings and your blogs is such a wonderful way to start my days…every day.
Kimberly says
Your video brought tears to my eyes! So beautiful.
Jess says
so sweet! love your song choices as well 🙂
Ashleigh says
What a great year! You are such a talented photographer and lucky to capture so many great memories 🙂
Chelsea says
Katie,
I’ve been reading your blog for some time now, but this is my first comment. Watching your video left me in tears! (Happy Tears!) So many blessings in your life. I have recently started my own blog simply to have a diary of all the important moments. You inspire me!
Happy New Year!
Ange says
Thanks for sharing Katie! I just loved watching the video, I don’t personally know ANYONE in it, but thanks to your blog I “got” most of it. I was nearly in tears..madness! When you see all your pics together like that – girl, you have talent. They look great as a video too. I’m just a blog reader, (don’t write one) but I am thankful to people like you, who share so much of themselves so that people like me can enjoy stalking you from the comfort of my sofa. LOL.
elaine Hovey says
Thank YOU for sharing so much fun and beauty on your blog. I have enjoyed it for some time now and always look forward to your posts. Love your sense of humor and all your great ideas – and what a gorgeous family you are. Best to you in 2011!
Jess says
I finally had a few minutes to watch this and it’s wonderful! Now I want to make one. And awesome music selections. I will be stealing those. haha.
Abby says
Simply awesome 🙂 God bless you all in this new year!
Jenny @ Bakography says
I finally got around to watching this… what an awesome video Katie! Seeing all those fantastic pictures of Will all strung together made me realize I’ve got a lot of improving to do before we have kids (luckily I still have a couple of years)!
