Top 8 in 2008

This year I debated about doing a Christmas letter and just doing my blog...I changed my mind! But instead of pictures and family news I did something a little different - so this blog is for those of you who still wanted to see our pictures and years events - I am sure we had others, but these were the ones that stood out in my mind!
1 - WICKED at Pantages! My sister, knowing my great love of the stage, gave me tickets to see Wicked in Los Angelas. So in January, She, her daughter Brittany and I went on a weekend adventure! Biggest mistake - I didn't take the camera! I loved the show for lots of reasons - just can't wait to go again!

2 - Randy gets long awaited dream of Fishing trip in Alaska with his boys, and ALISA! A great time was had by all - I would love to move back to Alaska if I could take all the kids, grandkids, etc.....but it's just to far away! I did get a chance to go to Anchorage Temple - WONDERFUL

3 - Emily and Steve grace us with our 4th Grandchild. Matthew Coey, born in May. He graciously waited for me to be done teaching school for the year, so I could be with Conner while mom was in the Hospital! Awesome experience!! His middle name is after my dad!









4 - Nate lands the biggest Silver! Enough Said!

5 - Rachel and Brad add a new little granddaughter...Kallie Christine...November 14, she couldn't wait until I was done with school, but dad had a week off of work, so they had some family time before Randy and I got down to see them!

6 - Alisa gets engaged! His name is Brandon Bitner and he is a bit of a military brat as well! She's always done everything FAST! But we know she leads a spirit led life! She chose a kindred spirit and we are excited to have him join our family!

7 - Jordan turns 16, gets drivers permit, still waiting for that FIRST DATE!

8 - We host a Family Reunion in Idaho! The whole Lowe Clan was there. Not sure how often that will happen again!


All in all 2008 was great!
