Goodbye 2009...Hello 2010

Well we did it! We made it through another crazy year! I can't believe that this year is over already, I just have no idea where all the time goes. We are once again thankful for our very many blessings this year...and we have quite a few!

January we were blessed with the ability to work. We both had jobs and were able to re-paint and re-decorate our kitchen.

February we were blessed with somewhat patient children who had the worst case of the "I wanna go to the park" ever and the momma was very large with child and wouldn't take them, so they waited...and waited...

March we were blessed to be able to celebrate another year older of our two beautiful girls, Emma and Maycee! They celebrated their birthdays with family and friends. They are amazing girls, we love them lots! And we were also blessed that while I was not able to continue clinical work at the hospital due to the pregnancy(and other issues, but this is a positive post, so we'll leave those other issues out)I was able to continue working as a secretary in the hospital.

April we were blessed to celebrate Easter and our Savior's Resurrection and our ability to be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven! And that while my pregnancy wasn't going as planned(high blood pressure) I was still able to carry the baby without too much problem and he would be able to be born safe and healthy.

May we were blessed with lovely spring weather and the girls kind of cooperated with some very overdue pictures. And school was beginning to wind down...you could feel the excitement building in the air!

June we were blessed with the birth of our son, Wyatt! He has added so much joy and happiness to our lives. He was able to be born healthy and our lives would not be the same without him! The girls were also able to finish their school years and participated wonderfully in their respective end of year programs!

July we were blessed to be able to celebrate once again our nations birthday and the freedoms that we are so blessed to enjoy everyday being a citizen of this great country! The girls participated in swimming lessons and we finally enjoyed some warm summer weather!

August we were blessed to only have to to spend 2 days in the hospital with Maycee, instead of the months and months that some spend at Primary Childrens. She was diagnosed with Asthma. Wyatt was given a name and blessing in sacrament meeting and the girls started school again, always an exciting time!!

September we were blessed with health. Our kids were growing and things were slowly getting into a routine, be it a crazy one, but a routine, none the less.

October we were blessed with the ability to create great memories. Family pictures and halloween. And I found out I would be able to start the RN program in Jan 2010!

November we were blessed with the chance to think of all things we are thankful for...a house to live in, clothes to wear, food to eat, employment, family and friends, healthy bodies, wonderful children that make me smile, and an awesome husband!

December we were blessed with the chance to celebrate our Savior's birth, and the wonderful feelings it brings with the season! We got to be with family and enjoy the lit up faces of kids as they opened their gifts! Nothin beats that!

So as you can see we have been blessed this year! And now were are gearing up for next...See you in 2010!
