The Rest of 2009

Taking down the Christmas tree, Charlize's favorite ornaments were of course the little horses. She loved to play with them while I packed everything else away. I set the tree up while she was sleeping because I didn't want her to play with all the ornaments since she had seen me 'play' with them all. I think it worked out pretty good, because she only liked to touch one boot ornament that would swing after her bump. She also didn't mess with the trees at Grandmas house or Ashley's.

New Year's Eve, we were going to go up North for a roping in Farmington but due to the weather we decided to stay home. I was *STILL* sick and so was Charlize so we stayed home while Nate went roping in Mesquite. My mom stopped by andencouraged me to go mail my postcards to my students wishing them a happy new year, and run to get this cowhide minky that I've been dying to get. With my punch card (Thanks Denise for giving me the rest of yours) and a great sale I was able to get 1 yd. minky and 8 yards rick-rack for $3.80. :) I whipped this blanket out in an hour. I wanted to peice some flowers onto it to make it look alittle more feminie, but I knew I wouldn't get it finished if I did.

She has started carrying blankets around everywhere, so I'm trying to get her hooked on a cute one :)

Charlize is a total girl! ANYthing that resembles handles becomes a purse. I was doing laundry (such a challange with all my folded clothes returning to the basket, unfolded) and she put these 2 bibs on her arms like purses. :)

Nate and I didn't even stay up for the New Year. I know we are duds, but about a week later I was finally over the sinus infection and Boo was doing much better too.
