First Post of '09

Dear Friends & Family:
Yes, I know I need to update my blog more often. We are all just going to have to come to terms with the fact that I am a bad blogger. I keep saying "We need to take more pictures of Kanyon", but just saying it doesn't help me get pictures of her to blog. I am infamous for always having a camera and NEVER taking a picture. I'm sorry...its just a character flaw we're all going to have to accept.
BUT...to surprise you all...here is a new entry.
So far 2009 has been good to us. Jake hasn't been laid off, and with all the lay offs the company has had....well, that means there is more work for Jake's crew to do and they can stay busy all day long. The mobile spa business I have is proving very successful. I love it and women love it. I actually had some random lady yesterday order $65 of makeup off my website. I thought that was great.
We are finalizing our plans for our trip to Cancun in February. We are going with 4 other couples and have a long agenda of things we are going to do there. See the ruins, learn to scuba dive & snorkel, and the guys are going to go deep sea fishing. Jake is mostly excited about that one!
Kanyon is such a sweet little girl. She gets kind of sick of me by the end of the day, but when Dad walks in the door, she is all smiles and wants to play. She is growing like a weed. Her hair grows and acts like a weed. Always standing STRAIGHT up...or out if its on the sides of her head. I can wet it down and when it dries, POOF! Straight out again. Kate says that a girl is never too young for hairspray, but that doesn't help either. Right now we wear alot of hats when we go out... :) She is starting to think that she is too old for naps. When 9:30am rolls around, I can usually feed her some fruits & a bottle and put her down for a nap. No Problems. This past week has not been so easy. She doesn't want to go to sleep, probably afraid she might miss out on something. But the time that she is awake she is miserable because she is so tired! Silly little girl. I have to just pick her up, stuff a binki in her mouth and rock her till she falls asleep. That usually works. She has one tooth now and is starting to learn to pull herself up on things. She isn't crawling yet, but I think its coming soon. (...hopefully not TOO soon). Hope all of you are having a great January.
