coming back

Okay, I know it's been a while since we've posted but, wow! I had no idea it'd been since January. Okay, I need to be better. I hate posting sometimes because I feel like my life is boring and I just wish I had kids to talk about. Posting about my cat would just be lame, right?
We do interesting things, just not every week. So I won't bore you with daily postings or even weekly postings. I will try to update at least once a month to talk about what we did that month. I may post more but I will be sure to do at least once a month. I have some pictures from this year to share.
Okay, so this post turned out to be pretty lame. I keep trying to think of something more to say, but that's really it. I guess I can tell you what's going on in our lives right now.
Bobby keeps really busy with his duties from church. He is still looking for a job. We would love for him to go back to school to study Chemical Engineering but we are trying to figure out how to afford that with him out of work. He spends his free time right now writing electronic music.
I am in my 5th year of teaching. I am still teaching 6th grade. I teach at a year round school and am just beginning a 3 week break. I spend too much time playing games on my iPad and watching Netflix.
We are really excited to go and visit my family next week for Thanksgiving. Don't worry, I won't post the details of our travel plans so a crazy person can't come rob us.
That's about it for now. More exciting adventures to come. I'm sure:)

New blog

I have created a new blog. It's kind of a combination of me losing weight and us trying for our rainbow baby. Feel free to check it out.

Birthday phase 2

Guadalahonky's was phase 2 of his birthday. I forgot my camera so this isn't an actual picture of what we ate but the food was great. He loved it. He said it felt like he was back in New Mexico. We had soooo much food. We ended up taking home more than we actually ate there.

Bobby's Birthday 2012 phase 1

We decided that we need to party this year. We have already decided ahead of time that 2012 is going to be a great year and we are going to celebrate all year. 

We started celebrating a day early because Bobby is off of work today. I started with his first present. I left it on the bed so he would see it when he got out of the shower. 

Tiger Lilly helped me wrap the present.

 He has no idea what it is. He thought I got him a book on CD.

 Yay, he's happy. I'm always worried when I buy him a present. I know I buy him things he'll like but I always second guess myself and worry he won't like it.

 It's the Smith's complete collection. This will keep him busy for a while.

Christmas 2011

We didn't take many pictures this Christmas. I really wish I had at least taken a good picture of the tree. We did the peppermint theme, everything was white and red. We had a pretty emotional time this Christmas so we didn't really take that many pictures. The only pictures we have are to the cat. She was obsessed with staring into the tree.

Halloween 2011

 Bobby was invited to participate with some of our friends in their Halloween. Bobby joined them as Pugsley from the Addams family. This is a terrible picture of him being electrocuted.

This is the whole group set up in their garage. He had a lot of fun acting out the part that night.

Attention all photographers!

This is a link to a post that my good friend Heidi Vawdrey made.

She is the amazing woman who photographed Ellie and us in the hospital. Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) is in desperate need of photographers. This is the most amazing service you could possibly give to another human being. If you are interested please contact me or NILMDTS http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/.
THANKS!
