Ooops...I think I forgot I had a blog!

I know I know, it has been forever since my last blog! Maybe my new year's resolution should have been to keep up with this thing more. Ok, here is a quick recap of what has happened since my last entry. Hmmm, let me think...

1. Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was very good to us. He brought Sawyer his Buzz Lightyear that he wanted and much much more. In fact when Sawyer went to the tree on Christmas morning the first thing he said was, "I no see Buzz." Well, he was there, wrapped and in the back of the pile. He was not as excited as I thought he would be when he finally found him, he just said, " there's Buzz." I think he realized that Santa brought some other really cool things as well and Buzz was just the icing on the cake! Surprisingly the gift that got the biggest reaction was his new guitar, which he plays nightly. Stop by for a concert sometime! :)

2. Sad Goodbye! We had to say goodbye to our "firstborn", Rocky Doggy Wilks, 2 days before his 8th birthday. He came down with herniated disc disease and despite the best efforts of us and his vet we just couldn't get him comfortable and pain free. Instead of seeing him suffer we decided to let him go. It was SO HARD. So much harder than I ever imagined. We will miss him dearly and think of him every day. His sister, Barbie, had a hard time adjusting but is now getting used to being an inside dog and getting all the attention. Needless to say, she is spoiled!

3. New Year's! We spent the New Year's holiday with Chris's family since we spent Christmas with my family. We had a blast with both sides and cherish the time we get to spend with all of them.

4. Elmo Show! Our dear sweet Aunt Barbara bought tickets to take Sawyer to see another Elmo Live show in January. Now this is a blog post all on it's own so I will continue this story later.

5. Snow, Snow, and more Snow! We have enjoyed a lot of beautiful snow this winter. In fact, I am sitting here right now looking at big fat snowflakes, the biggest I have ever seen, out my back window. It is so pretty, but so slick so we are staying put for the day. Pictures to come!

Hope your holidays were as wonderful as ours. Stay warm!
