Happy New Year

Happy 2008




Sending out 2007 with a look back at the past year:

January: After 7 months on the market, our home in Mesquite finally sold!

February: We closed on our new house in Utah.

March: Kendrie turned 8.

April: Kendrie was baptized

Kim had a birthday (not sure which one though...)

May: Kortlan turned 5.

Jim and Kim enjoyed a trip to Cancun, Mexico for their 13th anniversary!

June: Kendrie and Kortlan started golf lessons

July: Kendrie is finally out of school! (We discovered that we are not fans of year round school)

August: Swimming lessons started, but ended quickly due to a virus outbreak in Utah's public pools - Yikes!

September: Kendrie started 3rd grade and Kortlan started Kindergarten.

October: Jim celebrated birthday number...oh, now what number was that?

Kim's sister Kourtney moved in with us after returning from her mission.

Kortlan was able to walk all by himself while trick or treating! No broken bones this year!

November: We celebrated Thanksgiving with Jim's family in Idaho.

December: We are truly excited about the snow we have received this month! We have missed the snow the past 4 years. We are also very grateful for the friends and family that we have been blessed to know and love. We wish you all peace, comfort and joy this season as we pass into a new year.

And the Stockings were Hung by the Chimney with Care...

After 4 Christmas' without a fireplace, I am most excited about this addition to our decor this year. Our little Christmas puppy. We got Maggie for Christmas 3 years ago today. Happy Birthday, Maggie Moo!
One of my favorite ornaments that I have had for 11 years. After moving into our first house 11 years ago, we had an interior designer come in and decorate our new home with a custom decorated tree and garlands for the banisters. These decorations have been lighting up our home since. I think I am ready for a change though. Next year maybe...
