Looking back on 2008...

Let me start (again) by letting everyone know I started this in JANUARY!!! I have keep meaning to sit and edit it and add pictures and I just haven't had time or been on the computer with pictures. I decided today while I was sitting at work that I was going to post it anyways. I need to start blogging about new things and I can't bring myself to do it until this is posted. So, finished or not, here it is....





**I was sitting here, on the floor, thinking of all the things that happened in 2008 and then realized, once again, that I am the worst blogger ever. On that note, I decided I should add a little something of all the fun things we did over the year. Afterall, it has been a VERY eventful year for our family.






  • Anthony and Brittany were married in March.
  • Jeff and I were married in April.

  • My parents were suddenly "Empty Nesters"



  • We found out Brittney and Wil were having a baby (due March 1st 2009)



  • Took a trip with my parents to Shumway (snowflake/taylor area) to see my Grandma and Grandpa Flynn and to take Jeff to the Rodeo we go to every year.






At the rodeo, they tied money to a calf, had all the kids go down and they chased it around trying to get the money. It was HILARIOUS!



My cousin's son Bradyn, he is so dang cute!!
My mom! I love her :)

  • Took a trip with Jeff's family to Flagstaff to stay in a cabin and relax

  • William Michael Polvino was born in September - son of Anthony and Brittany Polvino



  • Spent halloween at Jeff's parents passing out candy with William as Tigger

  • I took a trip back to Shumway for my cousin Delight's sealing :)

  • (which I have pictures I really wanted to post, but I'm at work and they are at home :( )
  • Jeff and I went to Sedona for a night! My co-workers gave us a gift certificate to a The Lodge at Sedona. It was so nice, we loved it!

  • Went 4-wheeling to Crown King for Jeff's 22nd birthday! (Happy Birthday, by the way, I meant to get on here and give you a shout out, but as you can tell, I'm not the best blogger! I guess you will have to wait til next year and see if you get yourself a blogpost of fame :D I love you!!!)

THANKSGIVING

  • Took a trip (again) back to Shumway for Thanksgiving with my Mom's family. We had a lot of fun shooting and spending time with my cousins. We also fell in love with this little guy ...

(Picture of our Puppy should appear here... )

Charly is just like Jeff's previous dog and is SO dang cute! Or so we thought! Don't get me wrong, this puppy is VERY cute, but she is also a monster! Hidden deep under those sad puppy dog eyes, there is a menice that eats EVERYTHING! Luckily for us, (and unfortunately for them) Charly stays at Jeff's parents. It is not a normal day unless their backyard is covered in shredded items from their closets.


  • Thanksgiving with Jeff's family


  • Thanksgiving with my Dad's family
