New Year's Eve Already?!

I cannot believe that it was 1 year ago today that I gave birth to my sweet baby boy! We are going to do his birthday stuff later so I will probably post that tomorrow. Anyway, Christmas was great! We went to AZ and spent a few days in Queen Creek then headed to Safford for some more fun! We did lots of things like bake goodies, cook lots of food, sing karaoke with Mom, ride quads, play a little Rockband and of course eat all of the goodies! Payson had such a fun time with his cousins and the girls loved him! Actually everyone loved him...Tab and Jody both thought they could escape with him without us noticing!!!



Payson was singing during rockband!

It snowed in Safford so of course...a snowman!!

For Shayne's birthday I planned a romantic evening..Limo included!
Thanks again Dad!!






Emily always jumps in at the last minute!!




Maddy and Aunt Jack!!!!





Emily and I made butterscotch brownies...they were gone fast!!






We went for a visit to the Adams and payson loved it!!!!!







Lizzy decorating cookies!
Oh ya! I forgot to mention that I got a new wedding band for Christmas!!! It is soo beautiful, I could not even believe it!! Overall, we had a great week and Payson had a wonderful 1st Christmas! I video taped it so I did not get any pictures of him opening anything....go figure! But thanks again everyone for helping make our vacation a good one!

Thanksgiving, Moving and Christmas is on its Way!




Finally I got some time to update and yes I know it has been over a month! We left Aberdeen in November and headed back to Bozeman where we spent a few weeks including Thanksgiving. It was fun to be with everyone again. Then we packed up all of our stuff and headed to Colorado! We finally made it to our first duty station, which is Ft. Carson. We are so excited to be here and so far we like it. Thanks again Dad and Chris for helping us move in! We were so anxious to see what our new home would look like and were excited when we saw it! I will post pics of the inside as soon as it is all put together but for now you only get the outside! In the last month Payson has started to walk! And then in the last two days he has just decided to walk everywhere! We cannot even believe he will be 1 in two weeks! He has learned to say "mama" "Papa" and "Dada". It is so cute when he refers to Shayne has Papa! It just kills me! Shayne started work today and we have not yet found out what his official job title will be but we are anxiously waiting! Here are a few pics and Videos from the last little while and as soon as we are all settled in, I will blog regularly again and post more pictures!
