Birthday Party

Myles had a great birthday - but, I don't know what he'd say if you asked him. First he had his 1 year doctor appointment and got 4 shots. He was SO mad! Then he peed on me while I was trying to get him dressed at the doctors. Great! He did sleep for 3 hours after that - it was so exhausting! :)
We had his family birthday party which was fun. He loved his presents - hated his cake. I think it started when I was trying to get him to blow out his candle and instead he reached out and touched it. Ouch! It either scared him or hurt him because he wouldn't stop crying. Poor guy. He wouldn't really touch the cake after that. We tried, but he was over it. He did enjoy his bath...
Anyways, Happy Birthday My. We love you.
And, thank you to everyone who came! It was also great to see some GREAT friends who came over after - I sure have missed them!!

Happy Birthday My Guy!

I can't believe Myles turns one today - what a fast year it has been. But, we are so blessed to have him in our family.
Happy Birthday My! We love you!!

The Nutcracker

This month has been pretty uneventful for our family. But, Wednesday night I took Bree to see The Nutcracker at Ballet West. She loved it. I must say that it wasn't the best Nutcracker I've seen (the dancing was not great!) but it was fun to be there with her. She got a little restless towards the end, but did great!
Thanks for going with me Bree!

Quick Update

So, Myles will be turning 1 on the 23rd - can you believe it, cause I can't! He is getting so big. He has really been trying to walk the past 2 weeks. He took 6 steps for me the other night. I was picking him up from the babysitter and I made him walk to me at the door - you could tell he didn't want me to leave. It was very cute. He has also been sick the past week. I got him into the doctor yesterday and he gave me some medication. I just LOVE the kids' doctor. I was in and out in 15 minutes - great!
Bree is doing great too. She is loving her preschool class - I think she is very smart, but I am only her mother. She is such a mini-me it's scary! I see so much of myself in her when I was her age - I feel bad for my mother! She is excited for Christmas. She wrote her ONE Christmas card last night to a boy in her class named Brooks - I wonder if she has a crush...
Jack is still adjusting to life here in the new place. I worry about him a lot and just want him to be happy. Last week he started playing with one of the neighbor boys, and I was so happy! Finally he is starting to make some friends. He still struggles at school but I think he's getting better. I think a lot of it has to do with whether or not he is in the mood to learn. Sometimes he gets 100% on his spelling tests, and sometimes he gets 2 right... I think he just wasn't in the mood to take that test :).
Dusty and I are doing well too, I guess. I braved the lines and went shopping on black Friday with my best friend. We didn't go all crazy - in fact, we didn't leave until 6am. But, we had fun just going and spending time together. I think we should make this an annual event - what do you think Kristina??
I have also taken the week off work - and boy did I need it! I do have to go to rehearsal tomorrow night, but it's been worth it to have a small break.
Hope you all are doing well.
