bye bye 2008!

Alright... 2008 is over and hello 2009! Last year was a good year with the normal ups and downs but good. It is crazy to think that a year ago we were still in Jersey... it doesn't seem that we have been gone that long but it also seems like so long ago that we were there. Crazy life! It was hectic and stressful to move across the country again but we are so happy to get back to Utah...I think the blog showed that.

Right before we moved Adi turned 3 and in this last year she has become such a little lady. She loves tea parties, lip gloss, dressing up like a princess and anything else, playing mommy with her baby dolls and her little brother. She has been such a help to me and I can't believe what a firecracker she is sometimes. I love that crazy little girl.

This last year has been a fun one for Kohen too. A year of all his firsts. Crawling by May... then he took his first steps in July and all of that while teething...fun, right!? He seems to be talking so much more. It seems like a lot more just in the last weeks of 08. He has the most amazingly fun, and cute personality. He is such a BOY too playing with batteries, and pretty much anything electronic. (like his daddy!) He is always grabbing for the tools when they are out and he lifts up everything he can to show everyone how buff he is. Really, he does! I can't believe how much my little boy has grown. I am happy and sad to say that I am wrapped right around his little finger.

Jeff's new job was a transition but he's loving his job so much. It has been a struggle this year having to start over again but it is well worth it. I have so much faith and confidence in Jeff and his new job. We are just trekking along and happy with life...our goal is to save a then take advantage of the house market. I would be elated to get into a home...not too excited for the mortgage but to have a home again and be done moving for a while would be fantastic.

Life for me has stayed the same...rolling with the ups and downs of life...I am still in love with being a mom, almost always, and having my babies and seeing them grow is so rewarding. Probably more rewarding than I know. They really teach me so much and constantly make me laugh. I have enjoyed my time with my kids and me and Jeff enjoy the moments we get to ourselves. We have loved playing rock band as a family...mostly me... I am trying so hard to get better on the "hard" level. My big break through this year is getting some time in my head for myself by reading. It started up again with the 'Twilight' saga, then I moved on to 'The Host', then I tried Nicholas Sparks ( pretty good) and I am going to start reading 'Hunger Games', a book that Stephanie Meyer suggested on her website. I need to just start reading again but the holidays were kinda crazy. If anyone has a suggestion pass them along...I am always looking for a good book. Reading just gives me time in my head to myself and even some excitement. I love it!

I have to mention the excitement of Twilight the movie this year. I was giddy like a little child and I am sure I don't have to go on because you all know I am a passionate twilight junkie and proud of it! Twilight didn't let me down...(well some of the movie was a little cheesy)... but I still loved it and I still love Edward! Yeah yeah, I am nuts....TWILIGHT FOREVER!

Hope every one's 2008 was a good one and best of luck for the new year! Rock on!
