I am afraid I was a little lazy this year and I didn't get any Christmas cards out.
This is mostly because I have hit that stage in pregnancy where all poor Ryan hears from me is the countdown until Shelby's arrival. I am pretty ready to have her and we still have quite a bit to go.
This has been a very wonderful year for us. We have been blessed in so many ways. We are finished with more school! I have had the most wonderful job (I know I have been here awhile) but I couldn't have asked the Lord for a better one and better co workers!
Paxton has learned his ABC's and their sounds. He loves school and so far he seems to love life! He MAKES our holidays around here because he gets so excited. He is always telling us jokes and trying to make us laugh. He talks his little head off and he has so much love to give.
Gauge has come alive. He is a lover and is always trying to find us to give and to receive hugs and kisses. He loves Little Einsteins more than anything and he loves to follow Paxton around whenever Paxton gives him any attention at all. He also talks his head off and lately we are realizing how much this kid can say, he can say anything we ask him to. He is a busy body who loves to tell Paxton "I too" whenever Paxton says "Gauger, I love you"
2009 is going to bring in a lot of changes for us.
Shelby gets here, that's number 1
Ryan finishes his needed school on BYU campus-that's a big one too (This one means he can finish what he has left anywhere else)
which leads us to number 3-We are moving to Idaho
number 4- I have a new job (well, conditional offer, we will see)
Don't worry, our list is going to get a lot bigger!
Bring it on 2009!!
We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday!
Merry Christmas!

I hate your number 3. You need to change the list. Just kidding you will be missed in here. What am I possibly going to do without you? Please keep in touch. Good luck in all that you do!

What?? You're moving? That breaks my wee little heart. I will be so sad to see you go! I'm sure you'll settle in and love it up there...but you will be missed. Sounds like you have a fabulous 2009 planned! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

If it makes you feel better Stella came 3 weeks early!!!! Strong healthy and happy (well, not really but at least I knew her lungs worked!) Maybe Shelby will make an early appearance! Good luck and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
