We finally got around to doing our family pictures. I have no idea how to get the pictures to do what I want them to do and I have no patience in trying to figure it out! Oh well. There are more, but this dumb thing won't let me add them. I give up!!!

Just a Swingin'

While we were at Kayden's birthday party, I looked around and realized that I had lost my family :( Rob had snuck away with Cambria to play on the swings. Too cute :) I also have no idea how to turn the picture the right way up.

What Now?

Kopi is home finally!!! It is so good to have her back but so sad at the same time. We have to keep her in a kennel so she won't run around on her other leg. I would say it is more of a pain than worth it, but that would be so mean of me :)

Cambria and Kopi

It is so fun to have a baby girl and a baby puppy :) They love playing with each other and it is so cute! When we first got Kopi, all she wanted to do was curl up in the carseat on Cambria's lap. Cambria would just giggle and smile so big at the pup sleeping on her. Last week Kopi got ran over by our neighbors and we took her to the vet. Originally he said she had one broken leg and I thought ,"Ok, normally I wouldn't spend any money on a dog, but I actually paid for this dog so she is worth fixing." So he did surgery on her and xrays and found 2 other broken bones. He went ahead and fixed those too. If I would have known that, we would have put her down instead of having to make her go through this and paying for it. So now I have a 3 month old puppy with 2 broken femurs and a broken tibia. Wow. What a pretty penny that will be. A few pretty pennies actually. All because I am and a sucker and love that little dog. So she is still down there in 'recovery' mode. Cambria has been so sad without her little buddy here. :( (Well, that is what I am blaming her crabbiness on). We get to pick her up on Friday so the pair will be reunited again! Why oh why? I wish the Dr. would have told us the situation before he fixed the other leg because it is stupid to pay for 3 broken legs even if she is the best hunting dog on the planet. Sheesh. That is my rant. The end.

Rob's Shop

I finally got around to taking pictures of Rob's shop. Not very big, but just what he needs :)

The Good Things in Life :)

Cambria has been introduced to the wonderful world of the Oreo cookie!

I don't really have much to say but I was getting jealous of everyone else having something to post so I will make something up. :)
Life around here is so wonderful I can hardly stand it. Rob has finally taken off on his own with gunsmithing and is crazy busy with that. He is so happy to be doing what he loves and it makes things so much easier that way. He is still finishing getting the final touches done on everything but it is going really well so far. He is also gone most of the time with elk hunting. I have become used to the idea of being a widow for a few months out of each year. He also got a new hunting dog which loves Cambria and won't stay away from her :) She gets so excited when Kopi is around though so I don't mind that they take naps together.
Cambria has finally learned to sit up and prefers it that way. She doesn't like to be lying down because then she misses all the really cool stuff. We are working on getting her to crawl which I hope is any day now. She will get on her hands and knees and rock back and forth but hasn't quite figured out how to move her hands. I know most of the moms will say enjoy this time while you can and you will wish she went back to not being able to move but I am so excited for her to be a little more independent. It is so fun and rewarding to see each new stage that she is going through :) She will be 6 months old on the 26th!
So life is busy in Fairview but we wouldn't want it any other way!

Yelling is Just NOT Sensible

Sometimes life just seems to creep by. Like this moment for instance. I am waiting ever so paitienly for Rob to get home and take Cambria a resonable distance away from me. He went shooting after work with some buddies. All this while Cambria sits in the next room yelling whatever baby obscenities she has picked up from her gang of boy friends. Moments like these never ever ever seem to end but then she is already 3 months old and that time has flown by. So here I must go to teach the young one that yelling, yes yelling not crying, Cambria has no idea how to cry but has mastered the skill of yelling. Anyway I must go try to explain that there are better ways of getting what you want out of life than yelling. Yeah right.

Sometimes it is Just the Truth

Oh how life has changed in this past month! Rob and I have almost perfected our aim for when Cambria throws up, Cambria has decided that being awake all night really isn't a sensible thing after all, and Rob got his machinery! We are still waiting on his FFL to come back, but he has already had a few people talk to him about making custom guns! He is so excited to actually be doing something that he loves instead of something that he feels he has to. Cambria and I are just trying to keep the house under control which is proving to be harder than I thought. We are finishing the basement and it is taking forever! Sometimes it is hard to rely on other people but there really isn't any way around that until I learn how to lay carpet:)

Ok, so the only new thing going on around here is our baby girl. Not much else can be said because not much else happens except taking care of her. She rules the house around here and she knows it. She has been having problems eating so I took her to the Dr. and found out that she has acid reflux. Fun stuff! She is quite good at projecting the contents of her stomach across the room. Now we just have to work on her aim and we could take the show on the road!

Lots of Babies!

So I know that this shouldn't be funny, but I think she has the funniest mad face. I had to share.


Four of my friends from high school came over and brought their kids. They range from 14 months to 2 weeks. It was so much fun seeing all these babies together!

Our Baby Girl!

She finally made it! I was convinced that I was going to start having to charge her rent with all the time she stayed in, but she didn't like that idea so on Feb 26 she packed her bags and moved out. It was a long, hard process getting her here, but so worth it! We just love being parents! Her fingers are small but she already has Rob totally wrapped around them :) He is such a good dad and loves being with her every minute. It is so cute to see the 2 of them together. He is so protective of her and it's just cute!
