I need to stay on top of this!

I just realized I have been totally slacking on this blog thing!!!!!!

Nothing too new lately. We are just getting through the rest of this winter! I can't wait for spring!!! Skyler is growing up everyday! Her new thing is helping with the dishes and the dishwasher. She helps me put silverware in and no matter what...I have to put soap in. If I don't....she gets mad! Anyway, she puts her hands on her knees and watches me put soap in (to make sure I do it I guess!) then she closes the soap door and then shuts the dishwasher door.....then she watches or waits for me to turn it on! She's even learned that I just turn it to try and sufice her and it's not really running. It's just funny!!! She is also getting a bigger vocabulary too. I'm so proud of her but yet so sad she's getting so big!!!

Other than that....nothin' too exciting!!! I have new pics but I will have to wait to post them until my laptop gets fixed.....water + laptop = one dead computer!

Yeah....it's been a while

Sorry it's been a little while!! We got through the holidays and boy was it crazy! Here's some pics from Skyler's 2nd Christmas!!

Tomorrow is Christmas EVE!!!!!

And I can't wait! Darren and I are soooooo excited about this Christmas since Skyler seems to be picking up on the present thing! She already opened one from one of her babysitters and she was wired for 4 hours! Christmas Morning is going to be a blast!!! We have the easiest Christmas yet.....Tomorrow will include going to Darren's parents for lunch and then my parents in the evening...then Christmas morning we get to stay home and have our own family Christmas (my favorite part!!) and the off to the big Tolin Christmas dinner in Lawrence in the afternoon and a night of poker and games!!! THEN!!! I get to go shopping day after!!!! I'm officially a shop-a-holic! LOL Oh well......I hope that this finds everyone healthy and having a joyful and memorable holiday season! I'll post video/pictures this upcoming weekend!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

What a week!

I know it's been a while since the last post and it's because I've been busy! Imagine that! Anyway....got through my first double family Thanksgiving dinner and I loved every minute of it! So did Skyler...she got to show off all day. The more laughs and "awwwws" she got...the more she did! Too funny. It has been a whirl wind but we all had fun. And go figure.....none of us thought to take pics. I was just busy and didn't think of it. I regret it now! But I got the tree up last night and boy that was all Skyler wanted! It was so funny....she would get sooooo excited that she would just go nuts and dance and fall down. She wants to touch so bad....Darren called me this morning at work and told me that she found the Snowman I had set out. (he's about 4 feet tall) and She would lean against the wall next to him and just chat with him...too funny! I'll work on getting the video camera out and try and catch these moments to share! Till next time..!!!

It's almost Holiday Time!

It's so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here!!!! I'm very excited because we get to host Thanksgiving Dinner this year! We have been busy just keeping up with Skyler. She is a whirl wind! She learned how to do a flip last night and it was just too funny. She would flip backwards over me if I would lay on the floor...I know...you just had to be there! She is really growing up. She pretty much eats anything you put in front of her....or that's on your plate! We are very excited this year for Christmas as this will be her first to where she will somewhat get it. We hope to get more pics put on soon!!!

Cold Weather is here!!!

Just sitting here at work bored! Boy, our weather sure has taken it's turn to cold!!! Later this week the lows will be low 20s!! Skyler got to wear her winter coat for the first time this week and boy was she cute! I'll have to download pics for you all!! Just getting plans together for Thanksgiving and the rest of the holidays. Skyler is teething..........again! She has 6 more teeth to get and boy I hope they come soon!!! She has tried some new foods too! She ate off of my Chicken Penne Gorgonzola from Carino's and she loved that. She also has tried some fajita veggies..loved those, also in love with steak! I'm just happy we don't have a picky eater!!!! Till next time!!!

New photos!!

Well, I finally got around to downloading the photos off my camera! So here are the few halloween pics I have and also some more of how Skyler and I spend our days!!!
