Merry Christmas!!!!

With the rush of the holidays, I have started a very bad tradition. Most years I usually only get about half of my Christmas cards out. It is not because I don't love all of you, I am just not good at getting everything done. So this is my attempt at a Christmas card. So if you don't get a card in the mail, I guess consider yourself carded. :) With our Christmas cards I always send a little update on what has happened over the year.
So here is 2008:
January-Kevin left to California for an internship with PricewaterhouseCoopers. Emma and a pregnant Jen stayed in Utah.
February-Emma and Jen flew out to CA to spend a few weeks with Kevin. (Flying alone with Emma was an adventure in and of itself!) We were able to see a bunch of the cool sites in the area and stay with Byron and Cynthia (thanks again! We had a blast!)
March-Kevin got extended a job offer from PWC, based on graduating. And we accepted!
April-Camilla Jo arrived on the 2nd. And Kevin wasn't there. :( (This was the saddest event of the year to not have Kevin with us.)
May-We were finally together as a family again. Kevin started summer school.
June-More school.
July-Benson and Belnap family reunions...so much fun to see everyone!
August-Family vacation to Island Park! And a Jenkins family reunion in Lagoon!
September-Kevin started school again (or just continued from the summer)
October-Emma broke her arm for the second time this year!
November-Cami got both teeth and started scooting everywhere.
December-Kevin finished his second to last semester!!!!!!! We are enjoying the Christmas season and thinking of all those who we miss and love. Merry Christmas!

Is anyone else's husband this CRAZY!?! And other fun happenings.

We had the opportunity to go to St. George awhile ago (I won't say when so you won't judge me because of my tardiness:) One of Kevin's mission companions was getting married and we wanted to visit my cousin Dine and her fam. So inbetween wedding and reception, we decided to all go hiking around Dixie rock. While hiking, Kev gets this crazed look in his eyes and decides he is going to leap from one cliff to the next. But not before the video is perfectly in place. He is crazy!

At the wedding. Kevin with his mission buddies. 3rd in from the left is the groom.

Us in front of the St. George temple. It is so beautiful!
This is Zack (my cousin's little boy-I love his smile) and Emma hiking around. Emma was a bit nervous-she gets that from me, not her crazy dad. :)

Our little family.

Cami is on top of the world!Kevin loves to hike as high as he can get. He is king of the mountain! He was making Emma pretty nervous.

Emma had so much fun playing with Zack and Luke. Thanks again Dine and Chris for watching them. Emma loves to play dress-up and they have the BEST dress-ups anywhere! This is my favorite. EMMA HAS HAIR!!!Thanks again Dine and Chris for a fun weekend! We miss you already!

We love Camilla!

Starting with solid foods was a challenge with Camilla. She doesn't like anything. But with persistance she has gotten better. She now will eat rice cereal and her favorite is the banana puffs that dissolve. We hope you enjoy this funny video of yet another attempt at getting her to eat solids.
