We didn't get cards out this year, so sorry, we are alive and happy. The kids were very spoiled this morning.
Tad is still in school. He had a good year studying and feels like he is getting close to graduating from GaTech in 2009. We hope. He is busy with the bishopric, school and playing with the kids when he is at home.
WD is busy working fulltime at Coke, taking care of the boys, supporting her husband, planning all the ward activities, and ran 2 half marathons this year. She also took a guitar class and loves it, though has little time to play.
SM is growing so big. He is full of energy and always saying things that make us laugh. He loves to help in the kitchen and loves preschool.
GJ had a rough year with being the younger brother, breaking his leg and finally learning how to walk. He has made so much progress in the last few weeks. He has really gone from a baby to a toddler. He loves to say "no, no, no!" He is talking more and more and sure loves his mom.
We love being able to blog and keep up on so many others who do the same that are so far away. Have a wonderful holiday, and remember why we have it! We are so grateful for the Saviour.
Maybe you can't tell from this picture, but it was cold, raining, and miserable. I told myself when I woke up if it was raining, I would wear pants, and shorts if it was not. It started raining about 2 seconds after I left. I was not as prepared as I should have been, I hadn't run more than 4 miles since the half marathon last November. My time was not great, but pretty standard for me. Oh well. I did it and now I know better. Still debating Nashville in April though.
Here is a picture of my GJ. He is growing so fast. He is at that wonderful stage where he will just sit for 20 minutes with an activity. This food cutting is one of his favorite. He is talking so much now, but we really have to pay attention to understand him! He does have NO! down perfectly though.
Sorry your head got cut off Shell.
Julie made me a delicious cake.
Shawn said if they caught them, they had to watch them being cleaned. Yuck. SM didn't seem to mind.
Here is Emma netting our fish. I didn't get one of him holding it up, but he had a really good time. GJ got to stay home and sleep and SM kept telling me he didn't want to go and he was tired. Of course by the time we got there, he had a great time. Nana fried them up fresh that night, they were delicious.
Train table is the most fun. Just look at all those cousins.
Picking the right ball is important.
Julie always looking good.
SM got a better score than me, but he did use the guide and the bumpers. At least I can beat him on the Wii.
Classic Haylee face.
SM and his twin. They are having so much fun playing (unless bubby tells me SM needs a spanking)
Megan is pretty good!

No, we haven't raked all the leaves yet and Yes, its that warm outside. But now its raining, but that's okay, we need to start the year out wet so we can get out of the drought.
We had a really nice Christmas with some family, and I can't believe its back to work and the start of 2009. Here's hoping to graduation and a new job.
I tag who ever wants to play.
