A look back at 2008

So here are a few of the big things that happened in our lives in 2008.


Makynlee's 5th Birthday


We celebrated at our house with our families.


Easter

We went camping with our little family on the desert for Easter.

Family Vacation

We started out camping up Ferron Mountain.

Next, we went up north, did some shopping and stayed in a hotel. (Makynlee's favorite part).

We went to the Hoggle Zoo the next day. The girls loved the carousel. Asia kept trying to lick the pole. It was so gross!


Asia's 1st Hair Cut

The poor lady who had to cut her hair. Asia was so excited about the little car she got to sit in, she wouldn't hold still for a second. She kept bouncing up and down. It was so funny. The ladies were getting a kick out of her.

Of course, Makynlee had to get her hair cut too.

Makynlee's 1st Day of Kindergarten

What a sad day watching my baby go to school. I wouldn't let her ride the bus for a week, which the bus stops right in front of our house. Silly I know but I had to take it one step at a time. It was hard to watch this little tiny girl get on this huge bus. I had a panic attack all day. I was so worried she would forget to get on the bus or forget what stop to get off at.








Asia's 1st Birthday

What a sad day when your baby turns one. I can't believe it.







Muzzle Loader Spike Elk Hunt
So Cole and I went elk hunting in October. Let me tell you, Holy Crap!! I definitely have a new respect for elk hunting. Opening morning we went up Emery Mountain. We hiked and hiked and hiked. During all the hiking I found this 7 by 8 point big bull. It was so huge. We ended up calling the Fish and Game so we wouldn't get blamed for poaching. It is being investigated right now and if it died of natural causes I get to keep the horns or if it was poached and it leads to a conviction then I get a big bull tag.
Anyways, by the end of the night I couldn't even move. My knee's felt like they were going to burst from all the walking straight up and down. Needless to say, Cole had to go hunting by himself the next day while I kept ice on my knees all day. Cole was able to shoot one that weekend. We hunted the next week for me but were unable to get one.

Halloween

The girls were Tinkerbell's.

So there it is. I'm done finally.
