Year in review....

As I sit here and think about what a crazy year 2008 was I can't believe it went by so fast...Probably the fact that I was pregnant for the majority of it but I have to be thankful for what it brought to our family... here are the highlights...

January~ New years day is Carson birthday, (he turned 1) I feel sorry for him, one week after Christmas. I found out I was pregnant. Cole and I went to visit Tom in Denver. We had a blast but Cole came back really sick... That doesn't make for very fun plane rides... I laso coached Soccer for the school that I teach at, so fun.

February ~ Kind of boring... Tom was still in Denver and I was coping being with the boys all by myself and having No ENERGY!



March ~ Daddy's home!!! This was actually the longest he has every been out of town.. 5 months total, made me appreciate him even more. I also have a new found respect for those who serve our country and miss out on all the things that are the most important. Carson started crawling! He actually started the day Tom drove home from Denver, for us that was such a cool milestone. He has had so many issues because he was born so prematurely that it was nice to see him progressing slowly but surely.



April ~ Um..I turned 30? Yup 30! Really 30? Don't feel 30.. My wonderful husband surprised me with an amazing trip to Palm Springs, even though the surprise was ruined even before we got down the driveway (love you Christina). I got to have a spa day with my best friend and another amazing friend, it was so much fun having a girls day. It was a great weekend and I can't wait to do it again. Cole played T-ball, even though most of the time he was more interested in the planes that flew by he did have fun. Oh and we learned we were having a girl... Wow what a month.



May ~ Tom and Cole celebrated their birthdays... I can't believe that Cole is 3. He gives us a run for our money.



June ~ We went on vacation with Tom's family. We camped just outside of Yosemite and had so much fun. Kyla went with us, which is always a huge help, especially on a 6 plus hour long car ride. We went fishing, hiking, swimming and got to explore Yosemite in the Summer. I have always gone in the Fall and now I know why. It's REALLY busy. And you have to worry about bears and such. Oh and Cole played basketball. It was really HOT!!! I might rethink that this year. Tom coached him and did a really good job.



July ~ HOT!!! That's all I really remember about that month.



August ~ HOT!!! And Camryn Geneva Elizabeth Cook!! WOO HOO! She finally made her appearance August 28, 2008. She weighed 6 lbs 4 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. She was a good baby from the start. (and still is) She has been such a fun addition to our family..with all of her squeals and laughter.



September ~ We went to the beach. Yup, Camryn went on her first camping trip when she was barely 1 month old. I was worried at first but it worked out just fine. We go to Coronado in San Diego every year and hope to keep the tradition going.



October ~ Grandma Knight passed away :( and Carson started walking :)



November ~ Not much really went on... Just Thanksgiving and the norm.



December ~ Tom and I got to tailgate and the USC/UCLA game with some great friends. We had fun! I had to go back to work :( Sometimes life just doesn't allow you to be a SAHM. Like the fact that if I didn't work my family wouldn't have benefits. Oh well...


Well looking back I have to say this has been a cool year, full of new adventures and happiness. I wonder what the new year has in store for us.
