Happy New Year! Welcome 2010

We brought in the new year with our crazy kiddos at home. We let the kids watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail to get warmed up. (No worries, we skipped some scenes.) We thought they'd think it was stupid but to the contrary...they were bustin' a gut! That kind of humor never grows old.

Cheers with a little bubbly!

"What the honk?!?"

Maybe too much bubbly?

2009 was a BUSY and life-changing year. The year went something like this: We started the year with me in school, took a trip to Vegas in January for a boxing match; school, school, school; I started my preceptorship in L&D in March; road trip to Arizona in April; graduated in May; Curt and Debby visited; the kids started summer-break; our house flooded June 9th; I passed my national boards on June 10th; started working part-time; vacation to Yellowstone; Jake turned 8 and was baptized; 20th class reunion and vacation to Missouri end of July; vacation to Portugal in August; celebrated 15th wedding anniversary; kids back-to-school; Joe and I went back to work so we could pay bills after all the vacations; hiked to Summit of Timpanogos in September; Halloween festivities; Pie-Night; Thanksgiving with Tammy & Randy's family visiting; then on to the holidays and the rest is history! I'm tired just recalling it all.

It was a fun-filled busy year but we are grateful for all we did and especially all the people who made our lives wonderful. Thank you Heavenly Father for this experience we call life!
