It has been way to long since I last posted anything and now I don't know where to start. I guess I will start at Thanksgiving.

We spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas this year with Brad's parents and sister Lori. We had a great time, we went to a show (Mystique by Circue de Solie), we went out to eat alot (which we love doing while we are there), and I finally learned and caught on to the game that Brad and his Parents love to play. Everytime we go there they love to play this game called Acquire and I have never been able to grasp the concept of the game, but this time the light went on and I think I finally have figured it out. I still haven't won yet but at least when I play I don't get so upset that I refuse to play the game again for the rest of the trip. Brad is very proud of me. YAY! We had a great time spending time with his family, we don't get to see them nearly enough.

December was a crazy month. I started back at work full time, which is a bummer but I am very lucky to have such a great job. It was really hard leaving Brock the first week back, but it has gotten easier. We are so lucky to have my Mom watch Brock once a week and then we have a Great babysitter the other 3 days. Tara (babysitter) is in our ward and she is so great with Brock and we feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. Unfortunatly we are probably going to be loosing her the end of February, they will probably be moving and we are going to miss her horribly.

We had a great Christmas. We spent it with my family here in Colorado. It was so fun getting everything decorated for Brock's first Christmas. And he is so cheap to buy for right now because he doesn't care how many gifts he gets. We bought him a cute little outfit and that was it and that was enough. Both Brad's parents and my parents spoiled him enough and he ended up getting more presents then the both of us combined.

Brock ended up catching a cold a couple days before Christmas. I think it was hardest on me because I felt so bad for him, and of course since he is my first I overreacted to the cold and took him to the Hospital one night because my doctor wasn't on call. His cold ended up turning into a double ear infection. I wanted to so bad to be able to take the illness away from him and me be sick instead. unfortunatly that isn't possible and he is better now and hopefully I will do better next time and not overreact.

For New Years we went out with my brother Josh and his wife Ashley. We went to an 80's party that a couple in our ward was having. We had a blast. The best part was getting dressed up. I may have gone overboard on my costume,(I didn't match very well) but I don't care it was fun. It was good to spend time with Josh and Ashley we don't get to see them enough.



All in all it has been a busy but fun last couple of months. We are so thankful to have our families and friends in our lives.
