Here are 10 things I learned in 2008
1. Don't look for houses to buy until yours is sold! It's hard to fall in love with a house and then realize you might actually be stuck in yours longer than you think because the market is horrible!
2. Having two little boys can be super crazy but they make life amazing! No matter how much they fight (well Thatch fights with Luke and Luke just stares at him with a hurt look) they always give each other hugs and kisses and say the cutest little I love you's.
3. Turning 30 wasn't as scary as I thought it would be! I need to own up to being older and live life to the fullest!
4. When you have two debilitating surgeries within 4 months it is apparently inevitable that you will gain 15-20 lbs. from lack of movement!!
5. I have the best, most understanding, loving, husband in the world....oh, and funny too! Ok, I didn't just learn that in 2008, I have always known that, but it is still true!
6. 4 year old's still have tantrums like 3 year old's...really?
7. Having good family is so important, and I love my family so much! They have also helped us out a lot this year.
8. Blogging while good in theory, is not easy for me to keep up to date. So check back in another month and I might have gotten back to it!
9. A nice relaxing trip to Mexico IS all its cracked up to be!
10. Some t.v. shows are good for you. I love the Biggest Loser and am totally motivated by it, I have even been known to cry while watching it....only once or twice!
And going along with #8, I am just now getting to posting some Christmas pics. Luke met Santa for the first time at a family party and did not like the big fat man! He screamed and cried until we took him off his lap... he did however stop just long enough to capture the moment!
He was a little happier at this family party because there was no santa!
Christmas morning getting ready to see what Santa brought
This was the first year we decided to stay home on Christmas in order to let the boys play and relax, and we had grandparents come to our house. It was great! Here are Nana and Papa Allred visiting.
We did meet family over at sister Jen's house for dinner....so here we are getting ready to leave, with the aftermath still in the background!
After a long fun day.... giving hugs goodnight.
We went to Zoo lights this year and had so much fun! They had many more lights than I had expected and we still got to see a lot of animals...highly recommended!
This snake was Thatcher's favorite part.
They were all bundled up in the stroller and I think they were having so much fun they didn't even think about the cold.
And yes, these last few pictures are from Thanksgiving, but they were on the same batch of pictures as the Christmas ones and Thatcher wanted me to post these cute turkeys that we made for everyones place setting. 26 of them!

You learned some great things this past year!
And the pictures from Christmas morning are so cute!
Just so you know. I totally think 4 year olds are just bigger 2 year olds.
I wish I could say that I learned so much, but I think my brain has turned to mush with all of the snow! I love your pictures! Your boys are just so cute.
Yeah! Thanksgiving pictures!! (tee hee) I can't believe you made place settings though! AHH-MAZING!
I'm glad you learned so much. We learned a couple of the same things. (like the surgery/weight combo. A delightful lesson to learn...don't you think??)
And, I'm in love with the last picture of Mat and Luke. It's really cute!
We just had so much fun with you guys the other night. Thatcher DID NOT disappoint! He is too much! I love it!
Let's not let another 6 months go by...
It still looks like Luke is scared of Santa in the picture at the party that had no Santa.
I'm so glad you're back and blogging. I'm a fan of the biggest loser too--they have it here in SA. You and your boys are all beautiful.
