2008- Our Year in Pictures!

We had such a busy year in 2008! Here is a quick recap of the year... in pictures!

JANUARY- Was pretty uneventful, I worked a lot, hung out with some penguins and worked some more. Jacob pretty much did the same thing... minus the penguins.
FEBRUARY- I went home to Alaska to visit th family, got to spend ten days at home in the snow, and of course went shooting with my papa while I was there.


MARCH- We had Easter of course, and here is Tink all dressed up like the Easter Bunny!

APRIL- Jacob's birthday month, He turned 24! Here is a picture of us in Sonoma. We also went to a Giants baseball game in San Francisco... it was freezing, but we had lots of fun!







MAY- I turned 24 this month. It was a very busy month, Jacobs mom, brother and sister came to visit as well as my best friend Becky! it was a great birthday month!

JUNE- I got my promotion to Trainer at the park, I was very excited and even more excited when I got promoted to Senior Trainer just 3 months later! It was a busy summer! Here I am sharing a cuddle with my very Fave. Animal at work- Mya the Coatimundi

JULY- My mom, Charis and Ned came to visit, we played at the park and even went to Santa Cruz to play in the ocean!


AUGUST- We celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary with a day in Calistoga! It was absolutely gorgeous out, and 80 something degrees all day!

SEPTEMBER- We explored the bay area a little more. we went to beaches on the other side of San Francisco, and shared some good times and good kisses:)




OCTOBER- Was a crazy month! We finally got our house(YAY!), I worked a ton for Fright Fest, I was a bat for halloween:), Andy, Sonnet and their family came for a visit, we played with tiger cubs and the most exciting thing, I didnt know it yet but I got pregnant this month!



NOVEMBER- Also very busy! We found out we were Pregnant! We got to go in to the doctor and see our baby on an ultrasound for the very first time, it was absolutely amazing! The hardest part of this month was trying to not let it slip that we were expecting until we got home and got to tell everyone in person! It was so neat, even though it is her 19th Grand Baby, My mom cried it was so sweet, and Jacobs parents were thrilled. Other highlights of this month include... Glen and Lelya found out they are having a baby girl, We got to spend Thanksgiving with Jacobs family in Alaska, Jacob finally got to meet all of hi nieces and nephews and Cristin my sister in law had a gorgeous winter wedding!

DECEMBER- Finally! The last month of the year- with a MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Cotters and Bacardi the fruit bat:)



And last the New Year brings changes, here I am at 14 weeks starting to show, its hard to see the bump very good in this picture but it is definately getting there, ill have better ones soon to show:)

1 down... 2 to go!


So I just finished my first trimester of carrying my beautiful baby Cotter. I am now 13 weeks along, only 27 more weeks to go! Right now the doctor is telling us our due date is July 8th, so we are going to have a summer baby! We have our next appointment on Jauary 12th for a baby check up to make sure everything keeps progressing normally and then toward the end of February my mom and dad are flying to California and get to come with us to find out if their next grandbaby will be a boy or a girl:) Here is a picture of how far the baby is developed so far. What an amazing miracle, I am so in love with this baby already and cant wait until I get to see our baby face to face!
