9. Taking Phoebe to the Dog Beach. Florida beaches are amazing & our little Chihuahua, Phoebe loves them too! It’s fun to see her run around & when she’s outside, she always has her mouth open & she looks like she’s smiling. So cute! She is the sweetest creature & loves to cuddle. She turns 4 this month.
8. Dressing up Like Nerds for Halloween. We were “Art” & “Sally” from Tech Support. We brought high water pants, pocket protectors, & pig tails back in style. Talk about Hotties!!!
7. Participating in Muddy Buddy as a Team & Enjoying the Outdoors. Tyson has taken up a new hobby! He loves cycling & bought a bike last year. He rides a lot & has completed three metric century rides, which are 62 miles each. I have been running ever since we moved to Florida & I completed seven 5K runs last year. In May, we teamed up & competed in a biking & running event called “Muddy Buddy” at Disneyworld. We biked/ran seven miles & at the end, we crawled under a cargo net through a huge pit of mud! Hence, the name Muddy Buddy!
6. Tyson’s Birthday. In August, Tyson hit a big milestone & turned the big 30! What better way to celebrate it than to take it back to the old school days? We had a Hot Wheels birthday party with a Hot Wheels cake & piñata, we played Pin the Tail on the Donkey, & we lit fireworks. The piñata was particularly entertaining!
5. Swimming with Manatees & Snorkeling. In October, our friend Aaron came to visit & we went to Crystal River, FL & swam with manatees, which is an amazing experience. To be in such a close proximity to huge creatures is somewhat scary at first but they are friendly & you can touch them. There is also a portion of the river that is crystal clear & the snorkeling is fantastic. Come back soon, Aaron!
4. My Birthday. In September for my birthday, Tyson surprised me & had my sister, Tammy, brother, Nathan, niece, Bryn, & his sister, Audrey come fly out to visit. It was such an awesome surprise & I have to say, it was the best Birthday I’ve ever had. We went to the beach & Disneyworld among other fun things.
3. Meeting Mr. T. In May we went to our friend’s wedding & guess who was there? The one & only Mr. T! He was so genuine & friendly & we got to take pictures with him.
2. Watching Shuttle Launch from Kennedy Space Center. In November, the Shuttle Endeavor launched for a mission to the International Space Station. Stuck in traffic, we ended up watching the launch amongst hundreds of other cars parked on the side of the freeway. It was such a cool experience as the shuttle lit up the sky & we watched from our sun roof as it disappeared into the night. It was legendary!
1. The Most Exciting & Memorable Event of 2008…Drumroll Please…
Finding Out That We’re Having a Baby! It’s about time, eh? I’m due July 24th & currently 21 weeks along. The first trimester was pretty difficult as I was sick a lot but the sickness is going away & everything is going great. We found out that it's a girl! We can't wait!

I am so excited for you! Allison totally spilled the beans to me a while back and I have been patiently waiting for you to tell the world! Yeah a baby girl! Your kid is going to be so freaking cute I can't even stand it! I am due in September so know that I am very jealous of the fact that you don't have to preggers all summer! If you can believe it, both of my sisters are preggers too! We are all due within a few weeks of each other! Congratulations again on the wonderful news!
