It's Gordon's birthday. It's only been 2 months since I last posted. HAHA I started a post a couple weeks ago and never got it done. Miranda is getting SO big. She's mad at me in this video because I won't let her have the cell phone. I think it's funny when she fake cries.
We're still waiting for Gordon's rotation list to come in. It was supposed to be posted last Monday and it STILL isn't there! I'm going insane. Depending on what he gets we will be moving to Utah or Cheyenne. If he has enough locations in Cheyenne, Laramie and Fort Collins then we will move to Cheyenne with him. If not, we'll head to Utah so we won't be alone the whole time... by we I mean Miranda and me. HAHA.
I better get going. We're heading to Cheyenne to do some shopping and go to Texas Roadhouse for Gordon's birthday. There is a surprise party waiting for him there. I hope he has fun. =)

One, Two, Buckle My Shoe...

I forgot to post that Gordon passed all his classes. There was one class he was worried about failing (anything below a 70% is failing in Pharmacy school). He did so well on the final that he raised his grade to a B. HAHA It was great! He only has one more semester of classroom study left and then he'll be out on rotations. It's crazy that we're getting this close to being finished. I'm not looking forward to the year apart when he's on rotations, though. Good thing I'll be in Utah so I can see family and friends. That'll help... but it's still not the same. I'll miss my Precious.

We went to Cheyenne to help Julie move today. Unfortunately we didn't get there until 10:00 and they had almost everything done already! Sorry, Julie. Her new place looks nice. I hope she gets along better with this roommate. Her last one didn't have quite the same moral qualities as she did.

While we were in Cheyenne we decided to get me some new shoes. I've been wearing this pair for about 10 years. The insides are worn all the way to the soles and they are backless... not a good pair of shoes for Laramie in the winter. Let's just say my feet have been cold for months.

Miranda isn't walking yet, but she is spending a lot more time up on her feet. We couldn't even get her to put weight on them before. Even the doctor tried and she would just lift up her legs into a sitting position in the air. It's funny. She still does it sometimes, but now she'll at least get up on her feet. We think she'll do the same thing she did with crawling. One day she'll decide she wants to and just start doing it perfectly... It's weird. She could do it all along but just didn't want to, and then BLAM!

Christmas Break

Well, we've been home for about a week and a half. I was able to get a couple more days off of my work so I could be with Candice when she had her baby. It was nice... well, nice to be there! HAHA It's always hard to see someone you love hurting. She did great, though. Parker was born Dec 1st at 8:13 AM (after a long night of labor). He sure had a set of lungs on him! I sent Gordon the video of him crying and told him to compare it to Miranda's. She was so quiet.

I just found out that my 10 year class reunion has set their date. May 29th! Yikes! That just cut off 3 months from what we thought it was going to be. It was originally going to be late summer/early fall. I hope we're moved by then. Gordon will be out of school, but will we have our apartment? I hope so! I have been looking forward to going, but now I'm nervous. Timber just told me that she probably can't make it since they moved it up. And April has already told me she isn't coming. I don't think I'll know anyone! Shame on me for not being more active in highschool and making friends! Arg! I think I'll still go... I guess I will as long as Gordon isn't on rotations yet. I don't wanna go COMPLETELY by myself since I won't know anyone there.

Well, I gotta get going. I have to take advantage of Miranda's nap time before it's over.

Are you my Daddy?

We having fun at Grandma and Papa's house. Miranda is handling the new people really well. She was reserved the first day, but has warmed up since then. She seems to like playing with Ashlynn. Those two are cute together. We saw Lizzy last night too. She is so grown up! Lizzy and Miranda are almost the same size, but Lizzy just looks so grown up. She has lots of teeth and hair and is walking already. It's so cute!

Aunt Ginger did Miranda's hair for the first time yesterday. It was adorable! I will load some pictures as soon as I have them on the computer. I tried to do it this morning (after her bath), but I couldn't even get the elastic to go around twice. Those things don't stretch at all. I'll have to watch Aunt Ginger do it.

Daddy should be here tomorrow. We're excited to see him. Miranda keeps asking for him, "Dada? Dada?" It's sad. She misses her daddy.

That's ME!

I have some good news about Thanksgiving. I don't have to ride by myself! Julie and I are going to carpool. That's awesome! Miranda is a good girl, but I am pretty sure she'd put up a stink having to sit in the back seat by herself for 6 hours with nothing to do. Even she isn't THAT good. =) I think we'll be leaving Saturday but we aren't sure yet. Julie has something she might have to do for school. My boss already said it was ok for me to take the whole week off (as long as we don't get slammed in this next week).




I had to post this video of Miranda. She is looking in a mirror and at the end she points at the mirror and then herself. She does that when she knows something is her (reflections, pictures, etc). It's so cute! It is kinda low quality, but I took it with my cell phone. =)

Candy and Cake

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I'm really bad at keeping this blog up to date!Things have been crazy busy here. Gordon has been studying like mad. He has actually decided that he won't be able to come to Utah for Thanksgiving because he has so many tests and things to study for. =(


Here is a picture of Gordon, me and Miranda dressed as (young) Snape, Lily and the Golden Snitch. She wasn't thrilled about her costume. She felt like the little kid in A Christmas Story. She could barely move because it was so fluffy... poor thing. She didn't complain when she got to eat the candy though, figures!



And here's Miranda on her first birthday. Unhappy, yet again! HAHA She didn't like the cupcake because the frosting was sticking to her fingers. She wouldn't touch (or eat) it after that.

Birthday, Buck and a Baby

Hey, this is kind of funny. This is the story of what happened when Danny and Ginger had their baby. It's cute! I love watching it... I can see some of my family... =)
