Remembering 2008...

2008 has been a fantastic year! Look at all the fun we've had.

Here's Porter's year in review...

And here's Jackson's...
Looking at these pictures made me realize that these boys are growing so fast.
I'd better take more pictures so I don't miss ANYTHING!

Is it really over?

I can't believe it's all over. The month and a half of decorations, and lights, and parties, and shopping, and sugary treats... DONE. Every year Christmas comes and goes faster than you can say "I just yacked up all that egg nog". Before you know it, we'll be watching the 4th of July Fireworks at the Oakley Rodeo. Time flies... especially Christmas Time.

Here are a few scrapbook pages, hopefully capturing SOME of the BLUR that Christmas Morning was...
I'm always amazed that we make such a HUGE ordeal...
spend so much time and money and thought...just to make an HOUR of a certain cold,
wintery morning in December memorable for our kids... and for us as parents, too.
What's even more amazing... it ALWAYS is memorable.
I love Christmas... I'm sad to see it leave. But I know it'll be here again soon enough.

Quote of the week...

We hear this from Porter quite a lot these days...

I'm sure you can translate it for yourself.
