Hi everyone! Sorry it's been awhile, busy bees around here! We had a major crisis last week....our computer got a major virus and almost toasted it but these smart people at The Computer Store fixed it!!!! YEAH! Skyler is a trip lately. She has really gotten into this dancing thing. Any music, and I do mean ANY, and she break out a new move!! It's too funny. I need to get the video camera set and ready so I can catch her. Right now, we're trying to decide on a Halloween costume! She seems to love them all. We are still trying to get the rest of our moving boxes all set and totally put away before all the holidays hit. I'm soooooooooooooooooo ready for fall!!!! Nothing too exciting but we will try and keep this more updated!!!! LAter!

Wow. It has been a while! Sorry!
Well, we've been quite busy the last few weeks. We took our first family vacation down to Dallas to see Darren's Sister and her family for a week. Skyler did soooooo well! We actually traveled at night so she slept the whole way! We took Darren's neices out to some neat places including Skyler's first Chuck E Cheese trip. She loved it. Darren and I actually got a night out to ourselves while De offered to babysit! We went and saw Dark Knight and it certainly lived up to the hype! So we're back now and finally are getting into a normal routine! First time since early spring! LOL! I will have to post new pictures later!!! Can't wait for FALL!!!

What a birthday.
Well, Skyler had her first official birthday party this past Saturday and it was great. She had all kinds of fun with friends and family around. Food was wonderful and She made out like a bandit!! I love all the books we received!! She even ate with a big girl fork yesterday!!! Well, until she decided to learn to fling it all everywhere. That's ok, she still cute as can be!!! Now we have a little down time until we head off to Texas to spend time with Darren's sister and her family for a week!! Can't wait. I hope everyone is staying cool!!!!

What a year it has been!!!

It is officially Skyler's first birthday today!!! She woke up this am about 6 and Darren went in to get her. She was just playing in her crib so happy. The next thing I hear.....daddy singing happy birthday to her. Brought me to tears. Ok....still in tears. I know I know...Miss Emotional. It's just amazing how much she's grown and changed. She has truely blessed our lives. I miss the little newborn but I can't wait for her to learn more about life and grow! Grow....yep...still a skinny minny!!!
