Recap of 2008

I saw this on my sister-in-laws blog and thought it might be fun to do. 2008 was a great year for us. It seemed like so much happened and it flew by for us.

January- Jeremiah got a new job in Utah. We packed up most of our things from our home in Idaho Falls and he moved to Utah to live with Jenny and Phil. Carson and I went to Boise. I went to work at my old job and my mom was kind enough to watch Carson while I was at work.

February- I celebrated my 25th birthday.

March- We got an offer on our house in Idaho Falls.

April- We welcomed our sweet little Landon into the family on the 23rd. He spent 5 long days in the NICU.

May- We closed on our house in Idaho Falls. Uncle Devan left for his mission to Canada. Carson, Landon and I moved to Utah to be with Jeremiah.

June- Nana and Papa left for their mission to Hawaii.

July- We had a wonderful fourth of July with Jenny and her family. We played outside in the nice hot weather. Jeremiah turned 31. Ouch!

August- We made a trip to Boise with Jenny and me with all the kids. We had a great time staying with Uncle Duzzy and Aunt Lyndsey.

September- We had a reunion in Park City with all of the Jeff Wright children (minus Devan) and their families. It was a lot of fun and great to see the Arizona cousins. Carson had his 2nd birthday on the 29th and then got tubes in his ears the following day.

October- Jenny, Ana, JaNae, and I had a girls weekend with Grandma Doman. We missed Katie though due to sick children. We had a great time and cleaned grandma's house. We had a great Halloween and found out how much Carson LOVES candy!!

November- We went to Idaho Falls and spent Thanksgiving with our good friends the Varvels. We had a great time!

December- We had a great Christmas! We also got to talk on the phone to Uncle Devan.

We had such a wonderful 2008 and are so grateful for all of our family and friends. We are very blessed. We look forward to a great 2009.

Christmas

Carson coming downstairs on Christmas morning. He was really excited to see everything! Landon was really cute opening his presents. My parents sent them the cutest presents. They were coconuts that were from their backyard. They cleaned them out and attached a zipper so you could open them up. They filled them with candy, money, and a cute little note. The kids loved them. My parents are so creative!! Carson has been loving all the snow we are getting. He goes out at least once a day if not more. He is such a little snow bunny! This is a little video of Jeremiah and Carson playing in the snow. He loves Jeremiah to throw him around!!

Photo shoot

So while I had the kids all dressed up I decided to take some pictures. It is impossible to get a good picture with a two year old!! These are the best ones.

Remembering......

I was just thinking Christmas the last two years. This will be the first year where Carson has some idea of what is going on. I can't wait!

He was such a chunk!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are so greatful to have good friends. My parents are on a mission in Hawaii and we usually spend Thanksgiving with them. We needed to go check on Cold Stone so our wonderful friends the Varvels invited us to spend the holiday with them. We had such a great time! They are great friends and we are lucky to have them!!

Carson had such a great time playing down in Bailey's playroom. Jeremiah wasn't thrilled about his choice of toys....but Carson was having the time of his life.

Bailey and I played dress up with the boys.:)



This is Carson's way of telling us what he wants because he still isn't talking. He drags us around and points at what he wants.

Trish and I went and saw Twilight and did some shopping. Bailey was a great babysitter and Landon loved her. He was always smiling and laughing at her.

Carson loved Sawyer. He would do something and then look for approval from Sawyer. It was too funny! They enjoyed watching Backyardigans together. I am not sure who was more entertained...Carson or Sawyer.:)


Bailey loved taking pictures of Jeremiah sleeping...by the looks of it...he loved it too.

Mark and Tricia showing us their yummy dessert pizza. Thanks guys!

We went out for pizza Saturday night. It was yummy!



I love this picture of Sawyer. He is such a funny kid. They have the best kids and I can only hope that mine will turn out half as good.

The post would not be complete without a picture of Jeremiah's favorite member of the Varvel family. They have one of those love hate relationships. Thanks again for the great weekend of food, fun, and games. We love you guys and are thankful for your friendship!

Snow Day

We got a ton of snow last night so Carson and I went outside to play.
He doesn't have snow pants and I can't find his winter coat so he is just wearing whatever I could find...but it worked just fine.

He had such a great time.

He helped roll the snow for the snowman. Then when we were putting on the face he was freaking out! It was cold but we had a great time!
