Closing Out a Year


In reflecting back over 2008 - these events stand out:
  • Lily turning 1 with a "jumping" princess bash followed by the typical poker party late into the A.M.

  • Lily FINALLY walking.

  • Brady turning 4 by foregoing a party and instead joining the Babcock's for a weekend at Disneyland.

  • Learning, understanding, and following a budget.

  • Softball and me as the biggest (or most obnoxiously loud) fan.

  • My "chef-skills" in the early stages...and my love of the apron.

  • Disneyland - here we come!!

  • Mike & Cori Wedding - Jouas, established April 25, 2008 - woo hoo!!

  • 10 day vacation to Connecticut - thanks Glen & Marie...we had a blast!

  • The birth of Babe Lincoln - cutie pants!

  • AZ Grand Hotel - Oasis waterpark and fireworks for the 4th...and a million people in one hotel room.

  • Finding the perfect home for Abby.

  • Brady beginning his school days as a "Pre-K All Star"... as he would say.

  • Boys Weekends vs. Girls Weekends - it's not a contest!

  • The birth of my blog - I'm now lost without my journaling.

  • The transition to a new religion - the introduction of church to the Cuties.

  • Halloween at the Babcock's - have you ever gone trick-or-treating with over 30 people?

  • The election - history made.

  • Thanksgiving at Aunt Karen's - and authoring the prayer.

  • Girl's Spa Weekend for my mom's 50th - best weekend ever!

  • Holiday lights at their finest.

  • Light Rail Rides are not recommended on the "free" days

  • New Years Slumber Parties...is that what happens when the little ones begin to take over?
