2008 in Review (by Travis)

What a great year! Zane grew up before our eyes. In January he started sitting up and staying there.

In February we went to Oahu and the Big Isaland. Zane played on the beach and swam in the Ocean. He went on his first boat ride to sleep with the whales (not a typo), he slept most of the time but had a lot of fun when he was awake.

In August we went to the Grand Canyon. Perfect timing to just learn how to crawl and walk along things. No one fell in, that we knew. It was fun to spend a long weekend in such a quiet place.

Right when we got home from the Grand Canyon it was Zane's First Birthday and Swimming lessons. He struggled with opening the presents but had fun with all of his favorite people in one place. He did swimming lessons with Aspen and Daniel really i think we paid to hang out with our friends in a pool.

In the fall we spent an eveining and breakfast with Marcie's family at the Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Lots of fun.

In October we went to Walt Disney World with Marcie's Family. We did everything. Here you see Zane ready to go into Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was the highlight of the trip.

For Halloween Zane was Squirt from Finding Nemo. Here he is with Aspen and my dad. Aspen is the cutest sock pupet anyone has ever seen.

We spent the morning at home opening presents and then went to see all our family. This is Zane tearing up another present. He likes to tear pieces off one at a time, hand them to someone, say 'thank you', and do it again. Christmas could have taken years at that pace so we had to kick in a little help so he could see what was inside, then he would get excited and tear things open.

Thanks to everyone for such a great year. We are 2-3 weeks away from having our second son so 2009 will be quite an adventure.
