OOPS!!!! Tired Mommy + Active Toddler = Forgotten Blog

Wow a ton of time has past since I last posted.  Let's play catch up.

As a family we have had a lot of changes since I was last on this blog.  We are now a retired military family.  Mike was medically retired from the USAF Summer of 2013 and in September 2013 we moved from Mountain Home up to Boise, ID....Yep this Country Gal is now living in the city.  Oh what an adventure.

Evelyn is now a rambunctious 2 year old.  She is approx 34 inches tall and 25 pounds and full of energy every day most all of the day.  In late Oct 2014 we finally had to turn around her car seat so she is now a forward facing kid and can see where we are going instead of where we've been.  She is enjoying this new view point and I occasionally feel her foot on my arm while I am driving.  Her current favourite stuffed animals are her Ponies she got from Auntie Misty Christmas of 2013.  Favourite toys change daily.  Even tho she is 2 years old we still occasionally still get to celebrate 1sts. Like her first trip to Arizona to meet her crazy family down there at the Williams Family Ranch and her first trip to the Boise Zoo for Boo at the Zoo and her first time going to day care (yes I finally realized that I need a bit of a break each week and it has been beneficial for us both to have her going to day care 1 day a week.

I will try my best to keep this more updated but here are a few pictures from the last 2 years to update you about her.
