Fantastic 2008!!

Riley and I had a wonderful New Year's Eve watching Lost season 4 (whoa, its so nuts!) and toasting with some martinellis. It was so wonderful to spend some alone time together! Well I have been trying to get our back room organized and was looking at some of our pictures from this past year. We have had so many fun times and wonderful things happen this year and I wanted to put some pictures on here to share, so here it goes:

This was on Valentine's Day when Riley spoiled me with roses, chocolates, dinner, and a comedy show. What a stud!

This was at Riley's birthday when his family came over for dinner and games. Here he is with his mammy.

Here we were celebrating our two year anniversary. Our parents were with us because we had moved into a new apartment that day, but we didn't mind they were there because they bought us that outragious dessert!

We celebrated Easter by going out to the sand dunes with Riley's dad and stepmom. We ate lunchables, flew kites, and had some laughs...what else is there?!

We were shopping and Riley talked me into using one of the scooters since I had the excuse of being pregnant. I was so embarrased...especially when Riley hopped on and kept making it beep by backing up. Needless to say I didn't stay on it for long.


This was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I got to hold my baby for the first time and he was absolutley perfect.

This was on my birthday, the day after Gavin was born. What a fantastic birthday present!

This was one of Gavin's first smiles. He could melt anyone's heart with those huge dimples!

The 4th of July parade was a blast and surprsingly none of the loud noises scared Gavin!

Gavin's baby blessing was quite the ordeal but it turned out great and brought the family together!

This was the first time he ever picked up and played with a toy! It was so exciting!

He survived his first camping trip in the freezing desert! We kept him bundled up tight!

We celebrated Halloween with a trip to Gardner Village to join all the other witches in town. Somebody turned Gavin into a horse though.

We finished up the Utah season with a huge win and were ecstatic to be there!

Well, I still don't have any pictures of Christmas yet but it really was a great year with so many fun adventures and big blessings. What a great year!
