Brandon showing off on his bike this summer. Sadly, it was the 1st time he has been able to get his bike out since we started dating. . . . . Wow. . . our lives have been busy.

An afternoon this summer up to Pommerelle - the mountains just below us.

Maybree, me and Mya, one of our akitas on a quick trip with the rhino and motorbike through Palisades this summer.

Maybree smiling while making a mess as usual.

Maybree on her birthday. She enjoyed digging in her cake and then dropping it on her head. I don't know if she was tired or just didn't know what to think about having that much sugar to do whatever she wanted with - but she had a very serious look on her face the whole time she was in her highchair - I could not get her to smile for even one picture. . .

We have a swim group we go swimming with every week. We had a cute little cupcake birthday celebration on Maybree's birthday. We are so lucky to have friends with an indoor pool! Maybree loves it.

Sledding in Tetonia.

Maybree loved finally getting to play with her cousins again over Thanksgiving. We are so sad we don't have any cousins who live close to us :( We hated saying goodbye to them. They are great entertainers for Maybree.

Maybree loves the fridge.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sledding at my parents house over Thanksgiving.

Maybree trying on her new snowpants.

We wear these one size fits all ear muffs while mowing the lawn, vaccuming, riding in the rhino, working on home repairs, etc. She thinks she is pretty cool with them on . ..most of the time.

Wow. Time flies and I am probably one of the worst bloggers ever. It's a little embarrassing. I really don't know how all you bloggers find the time. Oh well. Life is good. Maybree is our 14 month old little bundle of energy. She rarely slows down and always has a smile on her face. She is now talking, signing, singing, running, dancing, climbing and a little social butterfly with everyone no matter their age. She is very observant and always trying to mimic us or other children around her. She has sure changed a lot since my last blog. Ha. She is a lot of work but definitely a true joy to be around about 98% of the time. It is truly shocking that it is already the Christmas season again. . . There seems to be a lot going on in our lives as usual and I would love to expand; however, there is not enough time to document any more at the moment. . . . I'm proud of myself to get this much in.

Still Catching Up

Catching Up

So I'm not nearly as dedicated to this blog business as everyone else appears to be. I have said over and over again, "I will blog after I get my house clean today" . . . Well, I've finally decided that just doesn't work - Im a perfectionist and my house never gets as clean as I want it; therefore, I never seem to find time to blog. I guess I'll have to change my ways. Here are some pictures of Maybree growing up over the past few months. We have been busy enjoying life. Time flies!!!

Maybree's second month

Backing up a bit . . . to the beginning of our new life . . .

Is there a way to type fast with one hand? The only computer time i find lately is when i sit down to feed Maybree. With a slow Internet connection and typing this up one handed it will be a miracle if i ever get very far with this blogging business. I think my blog will be strictly pictures - Taking and posting a pictures is much easier for me than this narration stuff - aren't pictures worth a thousand words? I'd rather bore you with our pictures than my writing .. .I'll leave it at that . . . Here are various pictures of Maybree's 1st day with us and her first month of life.
