MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The start of a new year is always exciting. Fresh and full of surprises. Here is a taste of the surprises and excitement we have experienced this past year: )

January: Bear was enrolled in a kiddie gym with his cousin Aiden. They went once a week, it was always Bears favorite thing that he did during the week.

February: We celebrated Bears third Birthday! (has it really been that long, Wow)

March: We purchased our first house! We wasted no time putting in a fence, the grass and flowers come later.

April: We moved into our new house!

May: Phil and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary! I love him so much and I know he loves me! We totally complete each other ;)

June: Our Yard was completly put in and we started our very first garden :D

July: We celebrated Lyons 1st Birthday! We also enjoyed a trip to Indiana and Ohio where we visited family and did some site seeing.

August: We celebrated my birthday :) We also enjoyed watching the olympics, Michael Phelps has become a household name for us. Bear loves to see him on commercials, it always cracks Phil and I up when he starts yelling "Thats Michael Phelps!"

September: My dear Grandmother passed away :( Phil and I left the kids with his parents while we drove out to San diego for her funeral.
On a better note, Phil got a much better job as a Purchasing Agent for USSynthetic. We are so thrilled about this, it has been wonderful and he loves it!

October: I found out that I am pregnant with our third child and she/he is due in June 2009!

November: We celebrated my True Love, Phillilps, Birthday! And we enjoyed Thanksgiving with my family :D

December: The boys have loved playing in the snow! I can't wait to take them sledding even if I only get to watch, just watching their expressions as they zoom down a snowy hill is worth every second in the freezing cold :D
We hope you all have a very merry Christmas, and an adventurous and wonderful year in 2009!
