2007 started out with the usual sense of a fresh new start, ready to tackle challenges and make the year a great year. Cameron turned 3 (we were excited about getting him out of his terrible two's), Bryce turned 5 and which put him in Kindergarten and Claire turned the big 1.
Summer was filled with going to the lake practically every Monday and swimming at a local pool near our home. At the beginning of the summer I could barely get Cameron to put his head in the water, but by the end he was swimming under water! Bryce learned to swim without help across the deep end and Claire (the little dare devil) wanted to jump in the water with or without floats!! Jesse's parents held a Sowards family reunion in July in Heber, AZ. The house they rented had everything you could imagine and we had a great time. The 4th of July was spent in Artesia, NM. We go there every year because they have the best fire works display, plus I get to see my parents and sisters!!
Summer ended and Bryce started a new chapter in his life by starting kinderga
We also got a dog named Bandit that has nearly been killed a few times during his potty training days, but he's pulled through and he's been perfect for the kids.
Jesse's practice has been doing well and he's staying busy. He's hoping to break away from Wal-mart and build his own building and move his practice there. We've been blessed to be in such a great location such as Wal-mart. Outside of work Jesse enjoys making his car
I took a trip to NEW YORK with my sister-n-law Connie and had the time of my
Late October I found out that I was pregnant and was feeling good about myself for not feeling sick like I usually do, but a few weeks later it was back to the same ole' puking, tired self. Jesse and I kept it a secret until Christmas until giving a gift to our parents. I made fortune cookies with a little note inside telling the surprise and they loved it.
Jesse's father Greg announced that he was going to run for congress and so we're very excited for him. He lives and breathes politics. (We all do actually.) But, I think he has a good shot at winning and making a difference. Check out his Short, Bald & Honest link on my homepage.
Christmas
We're looking forward to what adventures await us for 2008!
