2009 Hightlights

2009 in Review

In February we finally got the basement finished. We moved all of us downstairs.

Around the end of March we found out we were having another baby. Very unexpected but a WONDERFUL surprise we wouldn't trade for anything.

In May we took a family camping trip to our stakes property. It rained the whole time. But it was one of our most FUN and memorable camping trips.

Mattix turned 2 on July 23 and we threw the biggest backyard party ever. Fully equipped with a blowup water slide and green frosting.

Also in July Matt put his name in the race for West Valley City Council for our district. That was the begging of a fun and exciting journey. We were right by his side through the whole Campaign.

In August the boys got to go on the Father Sons camp out. Our family was rocked by a scary accident that left us with a STRONGER testimony and because of FAITH and prayer no long term physical scars. We were truly BLESSED.

In September Matt made it through the Primary Campaign and moved on to the "BIG Election."

Mason started Preschool in September he attends Ms. Sandy's preschool. He is learning so much and loves it. I am PROUD to say he can sing in alphabetical order up to Kentucky

October we had a fun time celebrating HALLOWEEN. Mason was a vampire and Mattix was a tiger. Because they were sick the whole week leading up to Halloween we had limited trick or treating but somehow managed to acquire QUITE a bit of candy.

November was a BIG month for us. All the hard work we had put into Matt's campaign came to an end at the general election. I have never been so PROUD of my husband. He put so much hard work and dedication in to this. He may not of won but he put up a DANG good fight.

I spent 3/4 of 2009 prego. November. 22, we welcomed Manning Austin Harris into our FAMILY.

December brought many BLESSINGS to our family. We were blessed with a wonderful Christmas and the opportunity to spend the holidays with the ones we LOVE.

Now as 2009 comes to an end and at MIDNIGHT tonight we will ring in the new year. I have to say that despite the economy and the stressful effect it has taken on my family this year. I DO have to say we have had a VERY successful year. We have learned so much. We have grown every way possible. I AM proud of my family. I am excited for 2010. I am anxious to see what's in store for us. It's time to look ahead and as my good friend Nakia would say, no resolutions this year, I am going to set goals. So here's to a GREAT 2010!!

I can't get the pictures to upload. I will post them as soon as I figure it out.
