Happy New Year and Our family top ten in 2009

Our New Years jump in the pool. We started this about 7 years ago during our New Years party. One of the kids had the bright idea of jumping in at the stroke of midnight. Its one of those traditions that the kids love. This year it was Andrew and Nicole. The other kids weren't home at midnight and missed out.



They really did jump. Here's the splash to prove it. They were in and out so fast it was hard to get a decent picture.

Our 2009 family top ten in no particular order...

10. twins graduating from high school living away from home in college.

9. Heather performing in the school play, acting and singing.

8. Nicole getting into the nursing program.

7. Tyler becoming potty trained and starting preschool.

6. Grandma (Oma) on a Family History mission in SLC.

3. redoing 2 bathrooms, an office, a playroom/food storage room
