Guess I should do a blog update. It's been awhile. Since the last time I posted we've had the three holidays, thanksgiving, Christmas, and new years. All of which were great. Thanksgiving was nice. Nothing too exciting. Christmas was a lot of fun. We were hoping Kyler would be excited about presents and opening them...he wasn't. He had no desire to open anything. I even wrapped a coat in a big box just so he could play with the box. He opened it with Jake's help and then proceeded to push the coat back in the box and crawl away. Christmas day at the cohoons he didn't want to open anything so we let him play for awhile and then put him down for a nap while we opened all his presents. He didn't seem to mind.
We did have a sort of Christmas miracle. On Christmas Eve we had a yummy dinner at my aunt Suzette's. Afterwards, we were just talking and I set Kyler down and he just took off walking. He's been working on it for awhile but just hasn't had the confidence to take off on his own. I was so proud of him. Of course I could only get him to do it a few more times that week. He's been practicing a lot since then and is almost ready to take off running. I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. It's fun to watch kids hit mile stones but then you realize you aren't ready and they are growing up so fast.
New years came and went. Nothing exciting. I was super tired and Jake got home late. We rented a movie and tried to stay awake til midnight. That was it.
Since then we have just been doing the usual. Work, stressing about the house in St. George, and just hanging out. We are in the process of doing a short sale on the house in St. George. And in the mean time we have "rented" it out to try and save up some money. In the 3 months they have been there we have received a total of $50. I've pretty much had it up to here (hand way, way above head) with all of it. Hopefully it will sell soon and I can have one less head ache.
So that's us, plus the fact that we had a lovely weekend of the stomach flu. Poor Jake said he has never been that sick. For the first time ever he left work early. I must point out he did not and has not ever called in to work. He went in for almost 3 hours. He had to come to the doctors office that morning and get a zofran shot. It makes the nausea and throwing up stop. I got one too since I was starting to feel sick. In case you are wondering, it hurt but it worked so I can't complain. Kyler never officially threw up but we are pretty sure he wasn't feeling too well either. Sadly, it is going around and pretty contagious. I'm sorry if you ended up getting it as well. Don't blame me though, I had to have got it from somewhere, I'm just not sure where.
We are all doing much better now and are excited for the week ahead. Jake has the whole week off because he had vacation days that needed to be used. Guess that's all for now!
