A Quick Update

I know it has been a long time since I have updated my blog, but things have been pretty busy around here. Brandon and I are both working full time and at opposite shifts. We are both soo tired and feel like there is no time for anything.


Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. We had the whole family together at our house. Debbie and Phil helped me cook dinner and it actually turned out better than we thought. Together, we make the best gravy.

Then we shot into Christmas. WOW! This was crazy. Now that the baby is getting older we are trying to start our own traditions. So, we spent hours looking for a christmas dress and we used it for every event. Firs we sent Skye with Grandma Maurer to a Christmas party. She had alot of fun.


Then, the following week I took Skye to go see Santa. She did not like it one bit. As soon as she got into his arms she began screaming. We got the picture real quick and then it was all over. The poor thing was scared out of her mind. I hope she gets over her phobia of people with masks on their faces.

Then we took family pictures to send out to family. I think we took about ten different pictures. Even now I don't know which one looks the best. On Christmas morning we woke up at about 6 am before Brandon had to leave for work. It was real nice to have him home in the morning. We sat together as a family and opened gifts. We did not take pictures because we video taped the whole thing. Skye really was not too sure of what was happening. She tried to open the gifts, but I think I put too much tape on them. She would start to open each gift, but it took too long for her so she would give up. After that Brandon left for work and Skye and I waited for Grandma and Grandpa. We made dinner and then waited for Brandon to get home.

Here she is in her Christmas pajamas and her new bike.

In the beginning of January Brandon went to Safford for 3 weeks. He helped open a Denny's. It was 3 long stressful weeks. The baby was emotional after the first couple days. Not be able to see her Daddy was rough, but we got through it and we are so grateful for him.
