A small Confesion...

As most you know I am not a huge reader. Well to put it bluntly I don't like to read at all. So when Quinton gave me a book for Christmas ( sort of a joke, sort of not), I think he was trying to tell me he wants me to read. What is this book that he gave me you ask? Twilight. So when after Quinton and I saw the movie, it got me curious and so I started to read the book. To make a long story short, I read all 4 of the Twilight Series books in 2 weeks. Yes, all 2,444 pages I read in 2 weeks. They actually were really really good. Quinton was so happy and proud of me. Even to the point where he has finished "Twilight" and is now reading "New Moon". I can not say if i will continue to always read like this, but it was a fun experience. I can not wait till the movie "New moon" come out in November!!!

Cousins and New years

Happy New Year!!! Well it is a little late but at lease I said it. The weekend after Christmas my cousin David came down from Arizona for a little visit. Actually they were here in Colorado because Erin my cousins wife's family lives in Denver. So for a day we where able to see them. It was so wonderful to see them again. It probably has been about a year and a half. Erin is pregnant and is due in February. She is so cute and we can not wait till we see their little girl. She is going to be beautiful. Also that night was one of my best friend's wedding.... Liz!!! She married the most perfect guy for her. TJ is awesome and I am so happy for them both. It truly was a special day.











For New Years Eve, we had our friends Justin, Tiffany and their daughter Avery over. We had a great dinner, watched a movie while snacking on fruit and fondue. Sydney and Avery love playing together. It really is one of the cutest things you have ever seen. They especially loved playing on Sydney new sofa that she got for Christmas. Unfortantly, since we both had children, neither one of us stayed up till midnight. Unfortunately our daughters do not know that it would be nice to sleep in, but either way they will be waking up early in the morning. The next day my parents came up to Woodland Park for breakfast, we all went to the Hungry Bear ( you gotta love all the little mom and pop stores in small towns). The food was great... as always and the company was even better. We hope that we will be having a great time this year.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Well a belated Merry Christmas at leased. Sorry about the delay everyone. However, I think many people can say that the Holiday season is a crazy and hectic season. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Sydney was more into it then last year ( it is a little hard to be in Christmas when you are only 3 months old). She was trying to open the presents and started to get pretty good at it by the end of the day. We got Sydney a new Flip-open sofa. She loves it!!! It is big enough that her best friend Avery and her can fit on it together at the same time. It is so cute to watch them sit on the sofa and read their books together. Sydney also got some more toys, 4 new baby dolls (all different kinds), some books and most of all Clothes. She even got 4 more pairs of shoes, so this all adds up to 20 pairs of shoes that fit Sydney right now. Yep you all read that right, 20 pairs of shoes. And do not be mistaken by her small appearance, Sydney loves shoes. So much that to the point where she will bring me a pair of matching shoes everyday for me to put them on for her. It is so cute. That is one thing I can say she did get from me. The love of shoes. When I was little I used to do the same thing to my mom.


Quinton also had a great Christmas. Just having him home was a treat enough for Sydney and I. Quinton got lots of tools and a cool took box for work, and lots of clothes, both were needed. And as for me you ask? I got the book twilight, gift cards ( which I asked for) and most of all a new Camera!!!! It is so beautiful. Some of you might think that by me saying a camera is beautiful is strange, well not in my world. I have a love for photography and needed a new smaller digital camera. So this adds up to 4 camera's that I have. Some people collect books, music, movies I collect camera's. I truly love it and Quinton did a awesome job of picking it out all on his own. Thanks honey, I love you tons!!!

Our Christmas was a wonderful one, full of laughter, love and most of all family. Quinton and I are so blessed to have both of our parents so close to each other. It truly does make our life wonderful. We hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope that we all keep Christmas in our hearts all year long!!!
