This has been one crazy year for us, here's just a list of a few things we've done
(Don't worry, I will post christmas photos when we get them downloaded from the camera)
1. Had a baby, Landon was born April 2008
2. Said goodbye to the Standard Journal and became a stay at home mom
3. Ben graduated from BYU-Idaho
4. Ben started graduate school at MTSU
5. Moved across the country to Tennessee
6. We are landowners and renters all at the same time :( Now is not the time to sell property)
7. Landon got his first two teeth
8. Visited Ben's grandparents in North Carolina, and had our first visitors to Tennessee when Ben's family joined us for the trip.
9. Ben's chili won first prize at two different chili cook-offs (Thus ensuring his bragging rights for many years to come)
10. Last but not least, Landon's first plane ride when we flew out to spend Christmas in Idaho and Utah.
We didn't stay up and ring in the new year since half of the household is recovering from the dreaded stomach virus that has so violently visited so many other families this year. So though there was no party or sparkling apple cider, we are still very much looking forward to 2009.

Man, I didn't know you married a Chili King!!! I'll have to try it sometime. Bummer about the stomach virus. Some of our friends got it too! We missed it, thank goodness. Can't wait to see the pictures!
Bad timing on the stomach flu - it hit us too. Crazy that it's getting everyone all over the place. I love your family picture.
When you could have been saying bye to the old and hello to the new with a nice kiss or something, you spent time with a stomach virus. That's the pits! You've had a great year, and I hope the next brings similar good fortune.
you got a stomach bug?? when did that happen? Don't worry...we didn't get sick ;o)
Yeah for 2009. We stayed up watching movies at my parents but as soon as it hit midnight I went straight to bed so there was no true celebration!
I also wanted to say that I love your family picture. Very cute and the both of you always look so happy.
Diaper duty can get really hard, but a few more months and hopefully I'll have one in underwear. Sleep comes in spurts. Ask my little Zeke, mom will just drop dead occasionally if she has five minutes. But I totally love it.
