2009 at a glance

2009 was a wonderful year! We enjoyed many great and new events in our lives. We waited a long time to be parents and that day finally arrived. We have enjoyed every moment of our little girl and love watching her fun personality come alive each day. Here are some pictures of our year at a glance.

I know this doesn't look at all like me, but that's what gaining 60 pounds and spending 26 hours in labor will do to you!
Kambree was so beat up from the delivery. We were so scared when she wasn't breathing but thank our Heavenly Father for letting her be able to live and experience this life with us.


Jake graduated from Weber State in Vascular-Interventional Radiography in May.

It is so nice to have him done with school (for now). We'll see what the future holds.
We celebrated our 5th anniversary in Washington and visited Olympic National Park. It was so green and beautiful.

Jake finished our rock path in the backyard. It took him 35 hours to do and was exhausting. He said he never wants to do it again.

We went to Spring City in the summer and took Kambree to her first rodeo.

Jake and I ran our first 5k together. I don't know if we'll do another one because my knee has been bad ever since.
I finished my year teaching at Willow Springs Elementary and enjoyed a fun work party with everyone and took Kambree swimming for her first time.

I started up JuJuBee preschool and have loved every single minute of it! Well maybe not the planning but everything else.

Jake attempted to hike Mt. Nebo for a goal he made at work. He went on the wrong trail which ended up being longer than Nebo. Poor Sequoia tore her paws apart from the 17 miles that were hiked. I guess he will have to try again this year.
We visited Mike and Sue a couple times this summer in Idaho and had fun having a picnic in the mountains.
Jake backpacked to Lake Ostler in the Uintahs. I am so jealous. Just look at that view.
We had the best 8 course dinner for Lance's 21st birthday.
We took Bree Bug hiking a couple of times. She was either sleeping or crying most the time. Hopefully she likes it a little more this summer.
We went camping with my dad in Heber. We got the best campground ever!
We celebrated a fun Halloween and had a great time coordinating our costumes.
We had a blast going to Hogle Zoo.
One of the doctors Jake works with let us stay in his condo in St. George. We visited the St. George temple and went to Zion's National Park.


We had so much fun watching our little girl enjoy her first Christmas, even though she looks a little worried in this picture.
It was a great year and we are so grateful to have such wonderful friends and family to share it with. Thank you for sharing this memorable year with us. We wish every one a Happy New Year and look forward to the new memories this year will bring.
