Skylar's first french fry

Today Sky got his first taste of a french fry. He really liked it, after some strange faces and figuring out what to do with it!



Day-O-Fun: Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Today we went to the zoo! Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is America's only mountain zoo. It's literally on the side of the mountain, so it's really neat. I got to meet up with some old friends from high school too, Brynn and Ashley. Brynn has 4 kids, her youngest 1 month younger than Skylar. So it was a day full of fun and kids!

The girls:
Brynn, Ashley and Rhianna


Skylar got to feed giraffes today!

He didn't know what to think about the giraffes, especially their crazy tongues!

Halfway through the zoo, he was pooped!

We saw all sorts of animals; giraffes, billions of kinds of monkeys, lions, tigers, cheetahs, gorillas, birds, elephants, hogs, turtles, etc... The pics of all the animals will be in my Picasa album.

It was a great day with 70 degree weather!!

Chillin'! He always puts his feet up like this!



Yay for a fun day with friends and family!!

...and we're back!!

So, I have been absent on my blog for a little over 8 months now. A few life changing moments have happened which is probably why the blog was left behind...

-Moved to Colorado. Drove across the country 36 weeks pregnant, with 3 dogs in the dead of winter.

-Had to unpack our house in Colorado, 37 weeks pregnant. Thank goodness my mom came to help!!

-9 days (literally) after we got to Colorado, I gave birth!! (That whole story will come later)

-Had a newborn and was a new mom. A lot of new adjustments!!! :)

-Adam went back to work at a new post. New schedule, new people. Exciting for him because it's so much better than Bragg!!

-Lost a dog to a tragic accident (don't want to talk much about it, sad), adopted a new one! :)

-Went on a few vacations here and there (I'm sure those will be posted later too)

And now to the latest news....

WE HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Luckily, not to a different state, just houses. But still. The most pain in the butt thing in the world, and I have to do it again, 9 months after I did it across country!

Our lease for this house we are in now was up in October. They didn't do a year lease because they said people don't want to move in December because it's so cold here, so they didn't want the chance of us moving out then and not being able to rent out the house. So it was through October. So a few days ago, like Monday or Tuesday, they called Adam to see if we wanted to renew our lease. Of course we did!! We have a great house that is just the right size, has all we needed, and Lord help me I wasn't going to pack and move again. They said, "Great, we will send the lease in the mail. Sign it and send it back and you're all set." So we have been waiting for the lease. Today (Friday) Adam got a call. The owners of the house are moving back and we have to find a new place to live!! I am so mad, frustrated, upset, worried, irritated....I could go on.....

So now, I am stuck having to pack this huge house once again, with a very mobile 8-9 month old, find a house to move to that allows 3 dogs and has air conditioning (which is VERY rare in Colorado) and that is big enough for us (we have a lot of stuff.) Pay security deposits, pet deposits, mover fees, truck rental fees, ect...NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO!!!

So, welcome to the new life of the Montgmerys! If you know how hard it was to find the house we are in now, you will know how NOT thrilled I am.

So I hope to be back to dedicated to blogging. I was doing so well during my pregnancy and then life went crazy. But here's to more blogging!!! :)

ENJOY!
