Wow, it has been a full year since I posted last!!! Lots have happened in that year.

In May Mark drove me and Jaxon to Ohio for the month so we could help Mom and Dad with their spring cleaning and planting. We had a wonderful time helping and visiting everyone!! While we were there we went with Mom and Dad down to Virginia to visit my Aunt Wendy and Edloe and Aunt Vickie and Uncle Jack decided to join us there.... what a great time all around!!!

The summer was filled with fun at Auntie's house swimming.... Jaxon loved the water this year. We also got the news that Rylan and Kalei were expecting their first one (due in January), yippy!!!

The fall was also filled with fun. Jaxon started dayschool at NW CoC. He has met lots of friends and have learned so much. Also, he attends Mother's Day at Mayfair and hangs out with Miss Laura on Fridays!!! We found out some exciting news.... we were expecting too (due in April)!!! For Halloween we we circus freaks, I was the tightrope walker, Mark was the beared lady, and Jaxon (winning first place at the fall festival at church) was the strongman :-)

In December we took our first official family vacation to Disney World!! We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Lighting McQueen and Goofy. Jaxon rode his first roller coaster and Mark spinned us in the teacups till we thought we were going to throw up. We also went to the beach and saw Kimmie and her kids. What a wonderful time we had!!! We made home in time just for Christmas and Santa brought lots of fun things for Jaxon. Damon and Lesli and Brayden came to visit too.

January brought a new little Kocher.... Ke'Alohilani (heavenly sunshine) aka Alhoi (sunshine), and what a little China doll!!!

In February Jaxon turned 3!!! We had a fun celebration with friends and family!!! Mark surprised me with wonderful Valentine treats!!! I recieved gorgeous flowers from my little man, Jaxon and then yummy chocolate dipped strawberries, an incredible massage and a wonderful romantic dinner downtown.... what a treat to be spoiled and so loved!!!

March brought us one month closer to our newest addition (oh ya, we found out we were having a girl, with happy tears). On March 27th we actually celebrated our 10th year anniversary with a date (first time ever on the actual day). Then four days later our sweet Annabelle Mae was born.... March 31, 2009, 9:08 am, 7lbs 5 oz, 19 3/4"... and what a cutie!!!

Mom and Dad came out to help me with Jaxon and Annee so I could rest. We colored Easter eggs and had a great time watching Jaxon hunt for the eggs. And now that brings us up to date.... and Annee is three weeks old!!!! What a funfilled year!!
