2008 in a nutshell...

I had a friend who posted a recap of 2008 on her blog, I thought it would be a great idea to do the same...

January 2008: Not too much to report. Brady got his "big-boy" carseat, loved standing up to the furniture and walking along it. He looks so small in this picture compared to how he looks now!February 2008: Brady turned 1! We had a great Bob-the-Builder theme birthday party for him at my sister's house. He loved his cake!
March 2008: Steve celebrated his 28th birthday, we found out Brady was going to be a big brother.April 2008: Brady really got into American Idol this year. He loved watching it and moving to the music, still not walking. We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Brady over conference weekend with Dave and Loni and their kids.
May 2008: Our family vacation to Disneyland. We had a great time! Brady's still not walking at this point, but I'm okay with that. He probably would have wanted to get out of the stroller and walk off with some random person at Disneyland...
June 2008: Brady is getting a baby brother! We're so excited! It's a really hot summer so we spend lots of time outside in the pool. Also, Lehi city days... Brady rode a pony! Brady is finally walking!!
July 2008: 4th of July in Delta. Good times! We had a great time at the parade. We also spent the 24th of July in Fairview with Steve's grandparents for a family reunion. It was a great time!

August 2008: Steve and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fast time has gone by! We've known each other now almost 7 years and I still love him just as much, if not more, as I did the day I met him. Brady is 18 months old and has a big boy room. We have loved having him in our lives! It is so great seeing the world through his eyes, especially since he's always so happy!September 2008: Brady is a Jazz fan. He loves basketball. We bought him a Utah Jazz jersey for the new season. Go, Jazz, Go!!

October 2008: I celebrate my 29th birthday (I'm getting old!!), We go Trick-or-Treating, and are getting ready for the baby to make his appearance.November 2008: Jackson Zane Bender arrives on November 11! It was a crazy labor and delivery. Life has been just as crazy with 2 kids, but so amazing! He is such a joy!December 2008: The BEST Christmas ever (up to this point...)!! Brady loved opening his gifts, and all of Jackson's too. He is a great big brother and loves to help me out and give his brother loves.

We're looking forward to a great 2009!
