Spring has sprung!!

Finally...spring is here! I love this time of year, it's not too hot and you are actually able to get outside and do things and not sweat to death!
This weekend, we did just that! Flowers were planted, a picnic was enjoyed, yard was weeded, birds were fed, swings & slides were enjoyed, steaks were grilled, beers were drank and lots of fun was had by all.

Tori is home!

Tori came home from TIRR yesterday. She still has a long road ahead of her, but she has come so far. Glad to have you home toto!!

In other news, I am sick of being sick! Ugh, all of us have had a different bug and we can't seem to shake them. Hopeing this pretty weather lasts til we all feel better and can get out and enjoy it!

Sick girl!

My sweet girl is sick...double ear infection. Say some prayers for a speedy recovery!

Colorado!!

We had a great time! Headed out way too early and got home way too late, but it was so worth it. Bella loved the snow, loved sledding and loved being with her aunt and uncle.

I can't believe it's been over a month since I blogged. Life has been busy and it seems I don't have much free time.

My sweet girl is growing up so fast. I was starting to get a little worried because it just seemed like she wasn't talking as much as she should be. About 3 weeks ago she finally decided to start though..and she doesn't stop. She tries to repeat most of what we say (which is going to bite us in the butt at some point!). She also started staying with a new babysitter. It's a girl that I went to highschool with that keeps several children in her home. She finally has some playmates.

Tonight we are headed to a hotel up by Hobby Airport to spend the night because tomorrow we leave for Denver! I surprised Calvin with a trip for his 40th birthday. I'm excited, but nervous about making the drive to Gunnison once we land in Denver.

I promise to be back with more pics after our trip....but til then, here's my sweet girl last night.

Happy New Year!

As usual, I've been slacking with the blog. Just seems like I never have a free minute lately. Bella had a blast at Christmas and got way too much stuff, of course. New Years was uneventful, which I suppose isn't a bad thing.

Since Tori's accident, my life consisted of coming to work, going to the hospital after work (and sometimes at lunch), picking up Bella, going home and normally eating something unhealthy for dinner because we were too tired to cook. Weekends were spent at the hospital too. It's exhausting. Tori was finally moved to a rehab hospital called TIRR in Houston. She came out of her coma at some point a couple weeks ago. None of the drs. bothered to tell us. We had been asking because we could see improvement and see she was doing more things, but the dr. would always say "no change". One day I happened to be talking to the nurse and I asked if it seemed like Tori was coming out of her coma and she told me that Tori wasn't in a coma. Yeah, thanks for letting us know. Ugh! She seems to be doing good. She will have to re-learn most everything. They have her up alot and she is making so many improvements. We are all so proud of her and just ready to have our Tori back. Unfortunately, since she is in Houston, I only get to see her weekends. And I don't even get to see her this weekend because Bella has strep throat.

So that's it. Not much going on other than that. Pics will come in the next post.

Christmas Cards

Finally sending out my Christmas cards, I am so far behind this year. I ended up having to take some last minute pics of B myself and got the cards done the next morning and sent out that night. Whew! The pics are super cute though, so I wanted to share.
