Abi lost her 1st tooth. She was so excited it came out while chewing her gum...she took great pride in showing her gum and tooth in the same picture!
Aaron and I went to Seattle for a residency interview. While there, we stayed with our dear friends the Sybrowskys. They showed around the area and I got craft time with the craft master, Mandy!
We took our annual trip to Lava Hot Springs this year. This year we went with the Olsen's. It was so much fun going with some of our favorite neighbors. The hot pots were wonderful as usual in the cold February air. We also found out that Aaron was matched with Children's in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He worked so hard, now we are all on an adventure to the Midwest!

Aaron and I took a trip to Minnesota to find place to live. We found a great place with a fantastic landlord (you the man, Joe!) just 3 miles from the temple. We are spoiled to live so close to it.
May was the busiest, craziest, most fun month! We started with Aaron graduating from Pharmacy School at the University of Utah--Hello, Dr. Cooper!! We raced in the 2009 Race for the Cure. Our team, Fake Boobs, Real Life, earned over $600 to donate to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Go Fake Boobs! We took an awesome vacation to California, then celebrated Max's 3rd birthday. It was so much fun and so busy! Sheesh, we need a vacation from all this partying and celebrating! *wink*
June was a month of big changes! We drove across the country to our new home. The family spent time unpacking and exploring Minnesota. Our first family exploration was a camping trip to Taylors Falls. We camped and canoed and rode the paddleboat down the St. Croix river. It was heaven!

July was filled with more exploration. Here we are featured in our funny bike at Minnehaha Falls. We also laugh when we say "Minnehaha", but we were laughing even more while riding this crazy bike. What a blast!
What happened in August?! Check out the past postings of the blog...I'm finished with the year end review...I'm just letting go and pressing forward. I've got a few fun posts up my sleeve, like playdough cookies on a stick, info about my new business, Sister Secrets and tubing down the Minnesota "mountains". New year resolutions? Be better at being present. I'm spending more quality time with family and friends. Can't wait! 2010 is going to be the BEST YET!
