I know it's been a While...

first thing's first...i know it's been a long time since i've blogged. to be perfectly honest, i didn't want to write cause i didn't like how i've been feeling. as many of you know, my father danny passed away in his sleep nov 29. it was sudden and unexpected. turns out he had heart disease and as we knew, severe diabetes. it's been really hard on all of us. my aunt debby created a lovely slide show for the memorial service and although i tried to add it to my blog i was unsuccessful...here's the link to her blog though. if you haven't seen it, take a look. http://sdandrews.blogspot.com/

on a lighter note, here are the happenings as of late. some of the pictures are out of order...i have the hardest time getting them on here and getting them in the right order! sorry!
...oliver...after a bath

on christmas eve, kelby and i went over to james and sabrina's and hung out with them and the andrews family. it was a great time. i can't believe how big the girls are getting!

somehow i got a shot with leah but my picture with krista turned out blurry!

kelby and me

uncle gene, aunt debby, stacey and james.

i got the tea kettle of my dreams...a red kitchen aide from justin for christmas. LOVE IT

charlie dressed up in the scarf that jeanette gave me for christmas- awesome scarf- and took a lovely photo.

just one of us. :)

justin gave dad and gift certificate for king's fish house for christmas and he took kelby and elizabeth and me! it was so yummy. here's a pic i took with kelby

a few days after christmas, justin, danielle, kelby and i went to see my dad in durango and get in some skiing/snowboarding. it was a total blast. i fell and knocked my whole body out of wack and kelby hurt her wrist and had to wear a splint and sling for like 2 weeks. it was crazy. i didn't get many pictures cause i didn't wanna break my camera on the mountain but danielle and i snapped a couple while we waited in the car. :)

purse update...i have not made a single purse since danny passed away and plan to get back on it this week. i think it will be semi-theraputic and am looking forward to it. i bought some really awesome material. i'll let everyone know when i've updated. i'll be posting my new line all at once. hopefully i'll have several new designs up by this time next month!
