Princess McKay



Okay... I know if you have spent any time with me in the past week, you are probably OVER hearing me talk about McKay turning 12. Sorry... I'm not done yet! I have to say how amazing it is to see my little girl grow up, and to realize she is becoming such a sweet and talented young lady... I just can't get over how fast time has gone and how quickly she has matured in the past year. And because I have a degree of vanity, I also can't beleive how OLD it all makes me feel! But also blessed... and I'm going to choose to focus on that...

2008 in Review







What a great year! Spring Break in Mexico, the completion of my Master's degree, a family tour of Yellowstone and Rexburg, a fun Hochstrasser reunion, Thanksgiving in Fruitland... opportunities to reconnect with old friends and to make new friendships... watching my kids all grow and mature (well, not so much on the mature, but we'll blame that on Rod! J/K!)... a great ward family and spending time with our own wonderful family members as we've had family get-togethers and visits to and from Idaho. We feel so blessed to be happy and healthy in this exciting time of life! This past year has been a chance for the Riddles to slow down and spend more time together as a family... a chance to be wiser with our spending, kinder to each other, and to focus on the amazing blessings we have all around us. Here's to 2009... may it bring peace, prosperity, and health to all of our friends and loved ones!
