Been a while.....

Ok so it has been a while since I have gotten on and checked what everyone was up to. As well and say what I have been up to. Well things have been little hectic lately. During the week I am a single parent to the most curious and hyper 1 year old. This house we are in is very small so we get outside as much as possible. Brett has gotten a job with the department of corrections and is currently in training in Tucson. The training is 8 weeks and we are in week 4. So wahoo almost done!

Things have been good, Christmas was different Brett didnt get off in time for us to meet with his family for Christmas eve in Mesa so we stayed here in Duncan and visited with his Uncle and their family. It was nice to get to know some more of his side of the family. Since Brett has been gone so much it was nice just to hang out and play. It is very heart breaking to hear Chloe cry daddy and even sweeter when he comes home and she doesnt get far from him when he is here. She is such a Daddy's girl.

So some of you may ask, what do you do in Duncan??Well let me tell you the highlights.
7am. Wake up to see how cold it is. Feed Chloe, pick up toys, chase Chloe
8am. Dora the explorer, check to see if it has gotten any warmner, pick up toys, chase Chloe.
9am Chloe bath, take off a sweater warmed up a few degrees, pick up more toys, chase Chloe.
10am Chloe nap, breath relief, hit the treadmill, pick up toys, shower
1pm Chloe wakes up, pick up toys, feed lunch, pick up toys, chase Chloe
2pm. Finally warm enough to go outside, hop on 4wheeler feed chickens, chase chloe outside,
4pm, Another nap for chloe, pick up toys, check email, watch tv
6 pm, Chloe wakes up,feed dinner, pick up toys,chase chloe, another bath required for Chloe after her fall in chicken poo or mud or who knows what. pick up toys again
8 pm, Bedtime, chase chloe to get in pajamas, trip over toys who cares to pick them up anymore, wrestle chloe to get in pajamas, give up the bottoms are warm enough.
8:30 pm..silence, watch tv. give in to picking up the toys. Put on a sweater its getting cold.
2 am..chloe crying she's cold, should have finished putting on the warm pajamas. Warm her up put her back to bed.


So as you can tell I keep pretty busy but its colder than I am used to. And much quieter. I love the open space but in reality I really miss Mesa. But we are doing good, I am so glad Shaffen and Misty live in Thatcher for me to bug and hang out at their place. Without them I would have no sanity left. Plus Chloe would go crazy with no boys to chase around.


Yeay Snow. Chloe got to be in her first snow storm. She didnt like the cold wet part of it.


She hated Santa, couldnt blame her. Stood in line for an hour to be sat on some strange guys lap that says ho,ho ho..Yeah I would cry too.


She has picked up a bad habit of drinking and driving.
She got a motorized 4wheeler for her birthday. Her thumb isnt strong enough to make it go but loves to hang out on it.
