The Beavers lost

We just had a gut wrenching loss with the Beavs!! It was a hard loss because a lot was riding on the game, including the Rose Bowl. Since we lost we will not be going to the Rose Bowl, we still will be invited to some bowl..it looks like the Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX. It is still exciting to go to a bowl game!!

I thought I would add these pictures, since they were cute. We took care of my parents dog, who is kennel trained. Joya just loved playing is Max's bed. Joya calls him "Mac".

We also baked cinnamon rolls for Thanksgiving and this is Joya in the nice mess of it all!!

A biggy today!!

We had a big one today!! I said to Joya "I love you Joya." She said back to me "Love you Mama." It was awesome and warmed my heart, with the last few days that we have had!! There has been a lot of no sleep, crankiness, fussiness, and of course with all that is no listening and spanking!! So I am tired, Joya is tired and hearing that today was awesome!!

Joya is finally feeling better!!

Last week, Joya had a low grade fever and a runny nose. The whole week was spent at home, and Joya and I found some fun things to do!! On Tuesday we decorated the house for Christmas, including the tree. Joya helped as much as she could, she would work for a half hour and then lay on the couch for an hour!! Thursday we went to the doctor, she was supposed to have her 18month well baby check-up. She didn't have her shots, but had her check up and her ears and lungs looked at and listened to. She was completely fine, everything she had was viral. She did insist on becoming a "nudy" for the doctor. She took her shirt off and tried taking her pants off, then tried ripping her diaper off. She finally was a naked and she then told the Doctor all of her body parts. "Knee, toes, elbo, shoulder, nipples." Yes thats right she told the doctor about her nipples, the doctor smiled and said "wow shes got an extensive vocabulary." It had me laughing!!

Here we go!!

So here we go, a lot of people have been wanting me to do a blog for a while. I try to send out monthly photos of Joya for people far away to see her grow, but now you can watch her grow weekly...if I stay on top of this!!

Anyway Joya is sick right now, she woke up early Monday morning with a horrible cold and low grade fever. She has kept that fever for the last three days. Today was a better day, she wasn't as whinny and actually ate. Eating is always a good sign that she is feeling better!! When she is sick she doesn't want to do anything but read books and watch veggie tales, and not just any veggie tales she wants to watch the Bunny one. We watched it probably 8 times yesterday and about 4 times today!! Yesterday after her nap we decorated the house for Christmas!! Tim was upset that we decorated the Christmas tree with out him, but I think he was just tired and is feeling like he is missing out on our lives. He has been very busy the last few weeks, there is a lot of pressure to do well and win the next two games!!

As for me I am tired and am ready to sleep throught the night again!!
