2008, Eat My Dust!
What a great year of adventures!
The year began with Baseball...
and it continued through the entire summer.

John played 7&8 year old coach pitch for Buchanan Rec.
His love for baseball never wavered..
.he loves to play and especially win!

Anna's first two words together were " play ball".
It is safe to say, I spent all of 2008
chasing an one year old around a ball field.
She learned that at the concession stand
you can get popcorn, M&M's, and Freezy Pops!
Yum, Yum!
I learned...to save my quarters!
After a long season, I am proud to say that
our Hornets finished a record season!
UNDEFEATED
But more than that they were a TEAM that worked together,
friends and team mates.
John learned that he wasn't the best,
but when you work as a team, you can be the BEST!
Bobbi had a BIG year...she turned 13!
I have had to learn to allow her to be her!
It is safe to say....Bobbi is one of a kind.
She had a great trip to Savannah
with her Girl Scout Troop.
Bobbi loved the beach and the ocean.
She says, "It's her favorite place."
After a long year at the ball field,
Fall Break we escaped to Destin, FL for much need R&R.
Sitting beneath my umbrella, out of the sun,
I watched my family play in the surf and sand.
It was there in my chair that I realized what a moment that was.
Our family, all together! How did I receive such precious gifts?
How did I deserve such a sweet life?
A husband that loves me
Children that are just spectacular?
Often people play the lottery to win it big!
I already have it all!!!!
So...
In 2009, I plan to
Laugh, a lot
Love every moment!
and
Live each day to the fullest!
Everyday is about them...my treasures!
How did I get so RICH?
