never was much of a diary person...

so i am terrible at keeping this blog up to date. but in my defense it was just christmas and things are beginning to settle down. updates: anna is growing like a weed. she now rolls over from her belly to her back and from her back to her belly. she has not figured out how to get up on all fours yet, but she is getting close. she sleeps for a good 8 to 10 hours every night in her own crib and only wakes up a couple of times if she loses her paci. i just went back to work after being off a week for vacation. it was quite busy before i left, and very busy when i got back. my boss is out for the next week (congrats to him and jami on getting married today!) so there are a couple things that i will try to get out of the way for him. wes is still staying home with anna during the day, but hopefully has a couple of interviews coming up in january.

we had a great christmas. we opened presents at home on the 21st, on the 23rd we went to visit wes' family in glasgow. we stayed there until christmas day. anna got everything under the sun. her aunt sami made her the cutest books and a pink university of kentucky blanket (wes loves it). she made us some ornaments for our christmas tree, i think she felt sorry for the only two that we had on there this year. on christmas night we went to the parksville baptist church for my extended families christmas. dinner, family, fun and gifts, doesn't get much better than that. the day after christmas we went to my parents house for lunch and presents. the whole family was together (usually we are missing a couple) mom, dad, kelly, miah, christian, raanan, lane, eric, iziah, sawyer, jon, amanda (with baby cash in her tummy) wes, anna and myself.....yes it was a houseful! all in all it was a great christmas and anna's first!

Out with the old, In with the new

The time finally came for the Camry to leave the Cash family. My father bought this awesome car back in late 1991 and it has been passed through various family members in the last couple of years. I drove it a little in high school, my sister and her husband had it for a couple of years and for the last couple of months Wes and I were blessed with it's presence. Since Wes drove a truck, there was no way for him to cart Anna around during the day, so my father graciously let us use his 1992 Camry so he wasn't stranded all day in house with Anna. Well this past Tuesday, Wes and Anna were headed to the bank when the Camry broke down and wouldn't start again. Wes thought that I had just neglected to put gas in it, but really it was the fuel pump (I have no clue what this is, but apparently it is too complicated for Wes to fix). So Wednesday night we made a family decision that Wes' truck needed to be traded in for a more reliable family car. I looked through the inventory at work and one of the managers found something we might like. So Wes and I are now the proud owners of an 2003 Ford Explorer. I must admit it is pretty nice. But we had to give up Wes' 1997 Ranger and the 1992 Camry. In support of Toyota, the Camry did have over 255,000 miles on it and was still in good shape! Just upon it's 16th birthday the Camry decided to drive itself up to car heaven! Oh how I'll miss the Camry!

My camera problems are solved!!!!

So it is now officially December, which means that Wes and I cannot wait to open presents! We still don't have out Christmas tree up (which we definitely need to do this year), but we just can't wait. We won't let Anna open hers up til closer to Christmas, but she doesn't care! Well I got just about the coolest thing ever!! I will never again forget to grab my memory card out of my computer before we leave on trips! Want to know why? Because I got an Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Card. All I have to do is go out and take pictures and then when we get home and I turn my internet on.....this nifty card automatically starts uploading the pictures from my camera to my computer and also onto my facebook account! I told Wes about this card about a month ago and when he went to the store to see if they had one, they told him that it was an excellent idea but it would still be a couple of years til it was out on the market! Well, needless to say Jessika was right! You can only buy it online, Wes got this one from Walmart.com. I am so excited!!!
So here is the first picture that we successfully uploaded without any moving around memory cards!
