January 17 2003

6 years ago I married Luke. He has been such a blessing to my life, and words can't express how much having him in my life means. He isn't the man I can live with, he is the man I can't live with out. This weekend we were able to spend time with no kids, my parents took the kids for the weekend, and we headed out for a wonderful trip with our care group to Hood River.

On a walk this weekend up by the cabin we stayed in.
Night of Fae and Brian's wedding January 2, 2009

I will try and get some pictures of the kids up soon.

First Post of 2009

So 2009 has been a bit busy for our family and I can hardly believe that we are already more than half way finished with January. I wanted to list high lights of 2008, for each member of our family. We don't send out Christmas cards, so this is a great way for everyone to get the short version of what has been going on in our life.

Isaac: Continues to amaze us, he is such a cute and fun baby. He is growing so fast, and with each day gets more mobile. I can hardly believe that he is going to be one in a few short weeks. He love to play with his sisters and always wants to be in the middle of everything that is going on.

Olivia: My mom says that she is her mothers daughter, I would have to agree with that. She is always moving, and could car less about sitting still. She absolutely loves to laugh, and make those around her laugh. She turned 2 in October, and is really starting to look like a big girl. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we go to the gym, she loves going into the day care and always has a picture waiting to show me when I return.

Morgan: Started pre-school in the fall and is loving it. She looks forward to school, and is always very sad when they have the day off. Morgan has also started AWANAS, she looks forward to going on Mondays nights, she loves to learn her verses for each week. I think that Morgan is going to be more like her dad than her mom, she loves to read and has her head in a book, most afternoons.

Katie: I have started to work out, 3 days a week, and am so glad to be doing somthing that is just for me. After having Isaac I had a goal to losse 50 lbs plus my baby weight. I'm so excited to say that I have reached that goal and feel great about it! In 2008 I also started to volentree at our Church in womens ministry, it has been very wonderful to watch the ministry grow.

Luke: I don't know were to start, I'm so proud of everything he dose, it's hard to pick just a few things. In July of 2008 Luke was baptised, this was a very exciting weekend for both of us. He continues to work at Intel, and enjoys his job. He has also gotten very handy with home renovations, and completly renovated our master bath this past year.

2008 was a great, and we are greatly looking forward to what 2009 holds for our family.
