Crowning for Me - Not Exacly the Kind I Like

Today is another lovely day in Boise. Ok, semi-lovely, I received my first crown on a tooth. It's been a bugger. I do hope I don't have to ever go through the process again. When they got it back the first time, it broke when they were putting it on, so I had to do the whole process again including impressions. Plus the numbing agent didn't keep me numb the whole time. AHHHH!! I know what it's like now to not like a dentist. I never had a cavity until I was 21, so I loved the dentist. I have been working hard at sorting clothes for Ms. Skyler. I also have a closet full of clothes all New w/tags that she never wore, since she had so many. If we have a girl baby, we'll be set. As for a boy, we'll have to start from scratch. I'll find out in about a month and a half....

Our First Christmas with Skyler 2004

Wow! I went for some archival stuff. I figured we'd find the first family pic of Skyler's Christmas. It wasn't taken on Christmas day, but close enough. Hey check out Todd - he actually had some brown hair. Skyler wasn't too happy there. Notice her nose is orange - it was from all the "orange" baby food she ate. It literally turned her nose orange from the inside out.

Pic From Last 4th of July (2007)

Here's a pic of Skyler and me from last year. I haven't taken any recent, so I'm just throwing whatever on that I want.

Todd's in Afganistan

I'm bad at this blogging stuff. I guess I should give some sort of update. Todd left for Afganistan, however we are being taken care of by lots of friends. Skyler and I have been busy enjoying our summer while we can. We tend to go to the park. She misses her dad an awful lot, but he will be home in about 7 weeks (less now). She is able to send emails to him (she likes hitting the keys on the keyboard). She will make sure she types her name at the end of the email. She and I are working on sorting her clothes and getting rid of things. Next week will be busy. I begin babysitting/nanny on Monday, then we'll be heading to Utah soon. It should be fun for us and a little hectic for mom and dad. Maybe I'll take some pics soon and post them. Adios!!

Thanks Mom!!

If you are noticing the pictures, they have been put on by my mom. Woo-hoo! Thanks so much mom!!!! At least we have something on there now. I don't know when the next set of pics or posts will be next. Until then.... Have a fantastic day!!

Our family

Todd & Skyler

First "Official" Post

Ok, so this is my first post. I guess I need to get in the game and create a blog. Our lives are so "ordinary", so this might be a challenge. Our big news is we will be having a baby in Decemeber. Todd leaves for Afganistan June 13 (approx). Skyler is a fantastic 4 year old. That's about it for now.... Hey! At least I have a post now.
