WOW .....It's really been another year come and gone at the Burton's...

Its' really amazing to think that an entire year has gone by so quickly in our family! So many things have happened in our family in 2008 that have been wonderful and some that have been very difficult!
I'm so grateful for all of our sweet blessings and for our trials too...
It's always hard to try and go back and remember all the big events in our big family.
So I'm just going to try and touch the surface of our lives and some of our memories from 2008

IT'S BEEN A YEAR BUT....THE BURTONS ARE BACK !!!

IT WAS A DAY OF BIRTHDAY CELEBRATING: FEBRUARY 18th IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY IN OUR FAMILY..... HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY...OPI...MOM...and JAYLA!!!




OPI; turned 85 yrs. young... MELODY,MOM and GRAMMY turned 29 again (44)... and our sweet little JAYLA turned a big 9 yrs.old


































FOREVER YOUNG......FOREVER IN LOVE; TED AND MEL








































JAYLA the birthday girl with her Daddy!



































OPI had fun walking barefoot in the freezing cold Oregon water....he enjoyed teasing us all a little and letting the sneaker waves get really close! He of course had some of that "yummy"ocean water to drink along with his sea weed...so he could hear all of his grandchildren giggle and say "ooohh yuck"...That's my wonderful Dad, still doing the same things he enjoyed doing when I was a little girl. I can so clearly remember just the two of us walking along cabrillo beach holding his hand!

I LOVE YOU DADDY!





























My two favorite men in my life....both kind, loving, fun and really good looking!
