Goodbye 2008!

We had some good times this year, but I'd be lying if we wern't excited for things to come in 2009. We held it together over a few bumps in the road and we are all the stronger for it heading into the new year. Here's to our future adventures together ... Happy New Year!!!

Sadie's Hair Cut...

It's been such a hot summer and since Sadie likes to shed her hair, we thought we'd try a new look. She's a little self concious about it, but we still love our Sadie!

What a Summer!

While there is no excuse for lagging behind in my blog updates, here is the condensed version of our life since April...

1. Kids finish Spring Soccer
2. D.J. laid of from Merck (they cut 1200 employees)
3. D.J. freaks out momentarily
4. Becky finds a full-time teaching job
5. D.J. Gets back into the Army National Guard
6. Becky quits full-time job after a few days
7. Becky finds a better part-time position teaching English at Palisade High School
8. D.J. gets a great job with Novo Nordisk
9. Kids back in school and begin Fall Soccer
10. We manage to throw in a few trips and family fun...

Looking at our summer on a list seems so callused so I've added a few pictures to re-assure myself that we actually did have some fun along the way.

Take Care,

D.J. & Becky

Ryan's Pueblo Soccer Game

Ryan had his first Game away in Pueblo and played so well. We were looking forward to having Jaryn play in Denver but got snowed out instead. Her soccer pictures will have to wait until the next game...
