One more photo post...
A few more photos from our Lincoln trip! Since I forgot them... (If you're on facebook; you've no doubt seen these already!)
The Good Life
While we were in Lincoln this past month, I made the biggest mistake! I'd forgotten to take the charger for my camera! And even worse? When we left Colorado - my battery was already almost dead!! *gasp* So I was virtually without a camera while we were there. Thankfully my Mom let me use her Olympus point and shoot for a few things!
I wanted to share a few photos from our recent trip with you! A little of everything from just relaxing photos, to playing at the park and touring the state capitol! (Skyler really loves "The Capitol"!!)
(Please forgive me - this entry will be VERY graphic intense!! And I know what a pain it is - since I'm on a dial up connection at the house in Pueblo right now! I'm sorry; but I wanted to share!)

Skyler on the Observation Deck
She LOVED it up there, looking out and running across!
I think for the first time in the 14 years that I've known my husband and his family - I didn't have my camera glued to me!! I feel a little bad that all the photos I took were while we were with my family, but never fear! His parents are on their way to Colorado soon, so we will take double the pictures! (And since I know you are reading this, you have been warned -- please see the smiley face below!)
I'm a bad Blogger!
I haven't updated in AGES - (But to be fair? I haven't really taken any photos in ages either...) So I thought I'd give a quick update/rundown of what we've been up to!
We've had a lot of playdates lately! (Skyler had a lot of fun playing "Dress Up" with her friend Taylor! They were the cutest princesses.)
On a trip to the Children's museum, Skyler had her face painted like a Kitty. (Which resulted in her crawling around and meowing for 3 days after!)
And me? I've been reading and writing!

Christmas Day!
Since Mommy is slow to write in her journal, I thought I would tell you all the fun stuff that happened at our house on Christmas! (Yep, that's right! It's Skyler again!)
See my new Jammies? I get special Jammies every year at Christmas, so Santa will know which one I am! (The one with the cute pajama's of course!)
I must have been a REALLY good girl this year because Santa brought me lots of fun toys. My stocking was full of toys. A princess doll for my doll house. Dora and Boots to play with too! And my own Tuba!! (Mom says it's called a recorder, but she doesn't know anything about music. It is definitely a tuba.)
But the coolest thing that Santa brought me?? My own kitchen! So now I can cook spaghetti, and cookies. I can even make coffee! (And kitty likes to hide in the microwave, so I always have to check before I make dinner.)
I also got some fun presents from Mommy and Daddy. I got a Wonder Pets Schoolhouse, and some books.
While Mommy and Daddy cooked (Cannelloni) I got to play with all of my super fun new toys. You should come to my house, I will cook spaghetti and we can play with my new doll house toys too.
Mommy said to tell you that she'll write more later! We went on a trip after Christmas, to visit our family in Nebraska before Daddy went back to work!

Happy New Year! (A bit late)
How is it that I haven't updated since before Christmas?
To be honest; I ended my 365 days project in mid-November and I've been neglecting my camera ever since. (And I suppose it doesn't help that Ryan and I used our Christmas Gift Money to purchase a video recorder, which I've used plenty since then, but mostly only for silly useless stuff! Like five minutes of me cleaning out my car. SERIOUSLY. No one wants to see that.)
I suppose I'll jump back in quickly. I'll start with some of our Christmas Photos... (Thsi could be long - I hope you're comfortably seated!)
Ryan was late getting home. His truck broke down outside of Las Vegas, and he had to wait for another driver to pick him up, unload his truck, and drive him home! (He blew a turbo which sucked oil into the engine and into a fancy schmancy emissions filter. Expensive, 3 week long repair job.) So he got to Denver at 10pm on December 23!! (And still had some Christmas Shopping to do! *eek*)
While we were waiting for Ryan to arrive on the 23rd, we met my friend Jamie and her son Devin in Denver at Casa Bonita! It was a lot of fun, and Skyler and Devin had a blast playing together! They kept hugging and spinning in circles. It was adorable.
Christmas Eve was pretty exciting, with lots of cooking (Chicken Tortilla Soup and Quesadillas) and shopping (Ryan)
After Dinner, Skyler picked two cookies (a snowman and a snowflake) to decorate for Santa
She also got to open one present on Christmas Eve! (We always get her new jammies to wear to bed) I snapped a photo of her with her new Jammies, her santa cookies and milk and letter - just before bed.
Which speaking of bed! Christmas Eve was also her first night to sleep in her "Big Girl Bed"!! (Daddy took the front off her crib.)
I'll end there for now - be sure to check back tomorrow for our next Christmas Adventure Post!
