Sleding in madras

We spent Christmas with both sides of our family. First we went to madras and stayed with Dana and Aaron for 5 days. We had a great time catching up with everyone and spending lots of time playing in the snow. Then on Christmas day we went to eagle crest to join my parents, Ryan, heather and their 3 boys for a few days. Analise still in not into unwrapping presents so her daddy helped on most. So far I think her favorite toy was the baby that we carry around all the time saying "shshsh baby". Here are some pictures of both gatherings.

Way too long of time off..

So I seem to have forgotten to keep up with this blog. Or maybe the fact the every time we get snow/rain/wind here the Internet does not work which would be everyday since we moved here in October.
Things are going great, Jesse still loves his job and I love the fact there is so much overtime right now, not to have him gone but for our saving for a house project. Analise and I stay at home and play all day. We have our daily schedule set of going to the gym every morning for 2 hours, Analise loves the playroom/daycare there and I get some alone/workout time each day. We also attend the story time at the library once or twice a week. On Saturday's they bring the "canine angels" dogs so the kids can play with the dogs and the dog owners read stories.

We are still looking for a house. We originally had bought one in December only to find out a few weeks later that the bank had lost some important paperwork such as the deed so now we are still waiting for that to get figured out. We had looked at lots of other houses but none that fit our style, family and ability to have guests come and visit so for now we wait.

Our new house

Thursday was my last day of work and Analise and I moved to klamath Falls to join Jesse. Our new apt is very small around 700 square feet so not a whole lot of room for our things. Analise is loving the stairs to climb up and down, having her crib and toys back and most of all being with her Daddy. I have spent the last few days unpacking and trying to find room for some things most will just stay in boxes as there is no closets here. Jesse got off work this morning and we went exploring around town, to the library, and of course Walmart for the odds and ends things. Here are some before and after pictures of the apt. I would say come and visit us but I have no idea where we would put another person :o)

Beach Trip

Also during our week in Salem we took advantage of my parents new beach house and went to Lincoln city for a few days. Our time there was so relaxing and we walked the beach a few times, went to the outlet mall for some shopping, and our to lunch for Jesse's birthday. Analise did not like the sand at all. She was fine sitting in it until she went to crawl and her hands touched the sand then the screaming began.

Analise turns 1

While we have had many parties now for Analise's first birthday since Jesse was working on the actual birthday. She had an early party with Great Grandparents Ray and Shirley, and Grandma Dana since Jesse was actually home so the cupcake pictures are from that. Then in October we went to Salem and had a big family party. Analise had so much fun just watching everyone and climbing the stairs a new skill. She did not want to attempt to open present yet so Daddy took over for her. She got so many cool things that we are enjoying daily. This year has been certainly very full and we love every minute of it. We are also able to celebrate Jesse's 29th birthday and meet our new cousin and nephew Logan Gabriel.

More pictures July/August

We also have a picnic picture from a field trip Analise took with Grandma Dana to visit Great Grandparents Jean and Bud.
