2007 In a Glance

Here's a look at our year in Review:
January – Christian & Andrew started going to Storytime at the Pleasant Grove Library. They have so much fun & ask every day if it is Storytime day. We went on an awesome trip to California. We went to San Diego, Disneyland, The Beach & Vegas. It was so much fun to go on Vacation with Steve’s family. It always makes for good stories all year long.
February - Tragedy struck at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City when a crazed young man shot and killed seven innocent people, bringing the reality of what's seen on the news home to us in Utah. Andrew Started sleeping through the night & eating whole jars of food.
March – Christian is able to recognize all his letters. Now whenever we are out & about he just yells out letters. Steve went on his first business trip & left me and the boys. We survived but were sure glad when daddy came home. Grandma came to visit!
April – Christian turned 2 years old. We had a fun birthday party with all your cousins. We went to Canada for Carries Wedding. It was fun to spend the week with family. Steve turned 28!!!!! We went to St George with your cousins. That was a fun week filled with swimming & lots of playing. Andrew learned to clap, cut his first tooth & can say Dada. I got to go on my Scrapbook retreat which was so much fun. I went to a huge cabin with 30 other woman & scrapbooked all night. We had lots of treats & lots of fun. We went hot-tubbing every night & enjoyed not having to get up with any kids in the middle of the night. Can’t wait to go next year!
May - We started to put our garden in. We planted Zuchinni, & tomatoes. We went to Heber & got to ride Thomas the Train. Tha was definitely a fun day for both boys. Andrew learned to climb stairs. We had 5 BBQ’s in 1 month. We sure love our Hamburgers & Hot Dogs.
June – We went to the Cabin 3 times this month. It was a lot of fun. We slept out on the back deck. Steve & I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. We kicked off our summer of fairs & festivals by attending the Orem City Festival. It was a lot of fun. . . I do wonder where all the white trash people hide throughout the year. They all seem to come out to these festivals. We went to a Stingers baseball game with our friend Hailey. Steve & Christian went to Fathers & Sons. They had so much fun & next year Andrew gets to go (Yeah for Mommy) We went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo 3 nights in a row. By the last night mommy had the process down to a science. I knew exactly what treats to pack & everything. Jane & I went to the Kenny Chesney Concert at Usana Ampitheatre It was a blast. A Kenny Concert can never get too dull!
July – Jane & I road tripped to Kallispell Montana to go to the Lake with The Schow family. It was a blast. Christian still talks about it. We definitely need to plan another trip like that. I turned 27 years old. Had the first Fry Party. What a novel idea! We went to 3 baseball games, The Utah county fair at Thanksgiving point. And many days were spent lounging at the American Fork Pool. That is the life I tell you! My baby Andrew started walking. Went Camping in the uintas & almost didn’t make it.
August - Steve & I went on Trek with the youth from our Stake. What an experience. The longer I am home the more I can look back & enjoy it. Andrew turned 1. We had a Fiesta party, Homemade Fajitas, Homemade Bavarian cream empanadas. . . Lots of yummy food. I flew by myself with 2 kids 2 and under. We spent a week in Virginia & a week at the Beach with all the Schow’s (I missed you Jill) it was such a fun trip. OBX 2007 lives on.
September – Went Camping for the last time this year. Went to the State fair 2 times. Once again Where do all those people come from.
October – Grandma & Grandpa came to visit!! Carrie & Aunt Jeannie came to visit too!! Nikki & Joe got married. It was a really fun day. We went to the Scarecrow festival, & Barnyard boo. We went to the pumpkin patch with our friends. Halloween was a great night. The boys realized what Trick or Treat really means. They both were Pirates. AArgh!!!
November - Planned our Day after Thanksgiving shopping spree. Organized a cute Thanksgiving Craft. Thanksgiving was a lot of fun, good food! Started playing Bunko. Who knew it could be such a fun game. Decorated for Christmas before December 1st. The boys did a great job with the tree.
December – Grandma & Grandpa came to visit again!! Sinter Klaus came on December 5th. We went to Rexburg Idaho for Luke & Kara’s graduation. Went on 4 girls night out this month (I think that is a record) Had a wonderful Christmas with my family, having kids makes all the difference. Enjoyed driving around & seeing all the lights.
