Family pictures

Denese was nice enough to take our family pictures this year. We went up to Spring Hollow. It was a beautiful, perfect day.

My beautiful sister

We did some family pictures today :) They are going to be so cute!!! I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful talented step mommy! Here is a sneak peek of some of Kendal's pictures.

My favorite!!

I love this one!

My mom comes for a visit!

My mom and sisters came for a visit :) They got here August 31 and stayed until September 30! It was so nice to be able to spend a long time with them. I was SO sick and it was so nice to have my mom here to help me out. I feel bad because everyone was sick almost the whole time :( We didn't get to do very many fun things but we got to spend time with each other and that's what counts. My little sister Kendal decided to stay with us and go to school here. We love having her here so much! It's nice that Skye has someone to play with!

Sick people! Except Jordan.

Jordan's 25!!

My sweet husband turned 25 this year on September 14th. We went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse (I didn't make him ride the saddle like he did to me) He's lucky I love him so much! Then we went to a movie and watched We are the Millers. It was SO funny we laughed the entire time. I wasn't feeling good at all and didn't want to do much. My sweet parents watched Skye for us and we got a night to just spend time with each other. It was so nice. I didn't even make him a cake this year. I was just way to tired. So next year his cake has to be awesome :) I love him so much and I'm so happy he chose me to spend his life with! It's been 5 birthdays of his that we have celebrated together. I love him even more each day that passes!

Jordans birthday visit to Texas

Jordan got to go see his family in Texas for his birthday over labor day weekend. I am so happy for him, he got to do lots of fun stuff down there. I know he loved every minute of being with his family. It sure is hard with our families so far apart. He left on Thursday night and got back on Monday night. We sure missed him LOTS but I know he had so much fun and it was worth every minute I missed him. I'm so happy he enjoyed himself and got to spend some time with family and friends!

Ready to go get daddy!

Yay!

We were so happy to see him!

Sick and tired...literally

I have officially been sick since August 14.... At first I had strep throat. Then about 2 weeks later I was feeling HORRIBLE and I went back to the doctor because I couldn't move my neck and I had a headache for 6 days straight. Well turns out I have mono. With mono your white blood cells are supposed to be low, mine were high, so on top of mono I also had a bacteria infection. I was on 1,000 mg of antibiotics and pain medicine. There's nothing you can do for mono except sleep (that's kind of hard with a 3 year old and a full time job) So I've been doing the best I can. I have only missed one day of work since I found out I had mono which is pretty dang amazing. I don't know how to explain mono. It is so horrible, I would much rather throw up for 4 or 5 days then have this crap. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired 24/7. I remember there was one day I had to take Skye to the doctor at 5. I got off work, went home and told my mom. She had to drive me, I couldn't even stay awake to tell her where to go, I couldn't get out of the car to take Skye in, my mom had to, I stayed in the car and slept in the parking lot. Then I slept the whole way home, I got home went straight to bed and fell asleep instantly. I woke up for about 30 minutes and took a shower and went right back to sleep until I had to wake up for work the next day. In the mornings it is SO hard for me to get out of bed. Every single day I think to myself I'm just going to call in and stay home, I can't go to work, but everyday I force myself to get up and go. I am probably pushing myself just a little too hard but I don't know what else I can do. I feel horrible because I am missing out on life because literally all I want to do is sleep whenever I possibly can. I feel bad for my family because I have been a zombie lately and can barely get out of bed or off the couch. It will get better eventually. I've heard it lasts anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months... 4 weeks and counting...

Snuggling, trying not to get sick :)

Update on Skye

Lately Skye has had quite the attitude! But she is as adorable as ever. She LOVES to wear dresses because she is a princess :) She actually went to dance class today!! Yay :) She got to do a ghost dance. She still sucks her thumb and loves blankey. She loves to play with my hair and grammies hair. She says we are Rapunzel. She doesn't know what she wants to be for Halloween yet. She has been quite the cuddle bug lately and I just love it so much!

It's her favorite time of the year!!!!

I feel like I'm looking in a mirror

Silly thing. She's a vampire
