The Morrill's 2008

 

2008 was a fun, eventful year for the Morrill's.  In February Jeremy celebrated his 5th birthday and Matt and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.  Matt kept busy working at ESG and I had my hands full at Ludlow Engineering.  In April, we decided to give ourselves a break and we headed to Disneyland.  It was a great vacation.  The kids loved it almost as much as me and Matt.

Jeremy had fun playing T-ball for his second year.  Brett (one of my bosses) was his coach.  And once again, he took it VERY serious.

We went hiking up at Dad and Son's (Bear Canyon):

Took the kids bowling:

When fall rolled around, we took our annual pilgrimage up for pictures:

We visited the "witches" at Gardner Village:
 
For Halloween, Jeremy wanted to be a Scarecrow and so we had Bailee be Dorothy:

As we prepared for Thanksgiving, Matt decided it was time to change jobs (he was coming up on his year mark and we all know he never stays at one place too long) so he headed over to Pinnacle Security.  We're all taking bets as to how long he stays here.  Meanwhile, the kids geared up for their Primary Program:
