Here's to 2008...

Since this blog will become a book one day {thru blurb.com} I thought I needed to recap the year.
{JANUARY}
We had just moved into our home, and had a great house-warming party with lots of friends here in Colorado.
{FERUARY}
Matt celebrated his 27th birthday.
{MARCH}
Heidi celebrated her 26th birthday in California, and got to see Grant and Julia sealed in the San Diego Temple. Beautiful day!
{APRIL}
Both Moms were able to come to see us in our new home and help to celebrate Jackson's 1st birthday. As well as some not so great information, Heidi had a miscarriage on Jackson's 1st birthday.
{MAY}
Jackson started walking! And had a fun family day in Evergreen Colorado. We had a little picnic then found some fun hiking trails.
{JUNE}
Had an absolutely fun time in Orlando Florida with the Shirley Family at Walt Disney World. Where Jackson met and fell in love with Winnie the Pooh.
{JULY}
Heidi went on an incredible trip with her sister Randi to the Dominican Republic, while Gramma Sheryl had Jackson for 9 days, and Matt missed his family terribly.
{AUGUST}
Heidi & Jackson spent some more time in California after returning from vacations. Matt was then able to come out to see his family, and also see Jordan & Breana sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. Wonderful day!
{SEPTEMBER}
Ken {Matt's Dad} was able to come out and spend some time with us. They of course hit some of the most beautiful golf courses that Matt happily researched.
{OCTOBER}
Jackson and Heidi went out to California again to see the family since we would be celebrating the holidays here in Colorado, and Georgia, where Gramma Sheryl helped Heidi get Jackson's Golfer Halloween costume together. And Jackson made the cutest little golfer ever!
{NOVEMBER}
The 2nd year in a row we stayed here in Colorado for Thanksgiving. Our good friends the Osbourn's were kind enough to have us over for a great feast!
{DECEMBER}
We were blessed this year to spend Christmas and New Years with the Shirley Family in Georgia. Matt and Heidi also celebrated their 3rd year anniversary in Athens Georgia for a day!
What a great year!
And thanks to all that made it such!

What a great year! Hope the next will be just as great. Good luck with the baby! Have you been able to print your blog into a book from blurb.com? I can't get it to for me. It said it was down for blogger or something like that. I don't know if I am just doing something wrong or not. Let me know if you get it to work.
