By some act of God, we've completely moved out of our apartment. Skyler did his best to keep me from packing on moving day, but luckily I got enough packed that we were able to fill the moving truck. Then we scrambled to get everything in some sort of container just to get it into the house before we left for Arizona. Skyler tried his hand at packing and packed away some DVDs we had on loan from the library into his backpack. It took me over a week to find them. I was afraid they were packed away in a box because he had tried more than once to put them in. He also really likes helping to unpack too. Skyler loves the stairs but if I'm anywhere near him he screams at me to "hol'jem up the stairs". Walk up yourself kid. He's been sick and therefore whiny (which didn't make my list of things to do pre and post move any easier) and when he's sick he has little patience for anything, which is quite the coincidence seeing as when he's sick I have little patience for him, but he's cute and I love him, so I'll keep him.
We spent Thanksgiving in Arizona (Skyler and I are still here). Skyler really isn't in to Thanksgiving foods and keeps asking for enchiladas. And everyone is thoroughly impressed at how well he says, "quesadilla". My sister's cat had kittens and she brought some over to my parents' house so Skyler could play with them. Oh my gosh he loves them. He chases them around, picks them up, and generally tortures them. But they apparently don't mind because there has been no scratching or biting. They just keep trying to find good hiding spots. I've had to wipe his runny nose so many times that it got so dry and so raw and started bleeding. :(. It looks a lot better now, thanks to vaseline and neosporin, but man it looked bad for a little bit. Tonight he's sleeping in the big bed. He asked and I let him. He was really tired and didn't get out of it (or if he did he got right back into where I put him). Sigh. What a big boy he is.

Thanksgiving and Life in The Big House

Santa
December 10, 2006
Skyler has learned about Santa. The other day he was playing trains with Jordan. He asked Jordan to go upstairs and get more tracks. Jordan said we didn't have anymore, but that he could ask Santa to bring him more tracks for Christmas. Oh my, that sure stayed in his head. He even interjects it into our family prayers and when we bless the food, no matter whose turn it is. He says, "thank you for Santa bring more tracks for Skyler". I sure hope Heavenly Father passes the message onto Santa.
Santa in the Flesh
December 16, 2006
his week Skyler got to meet Santa. He stood in front of him and shook his hand and just stared. Santa talked to him and Skyler repeated him . It was strange to see this kid so at a loss for words. He didn't even ask for tracks!

Long overdue update
So a little recap as to what we've been up to.
On Halloween we went to our ward's Halloween party. Skyler was so excited to go, which I thought was hilarious since he really had no idea what a Halloween party was. We bought a house, and we're moving this weekend, which means I've been busy packing. Okay really what it means is I will need to be busy packing in the next few days. Skyler is very excited to go live in the "big house" (meaning the new house, not prison)with stairs. Skyler has made a friend, his name is Gabe and he's about six months younger. Skyler adores him and constantly asks if he can come over. We also bought a second car, which Skyler keeps telling me "has wheels" which a guess is a good perk on a car that we paid as much as we did for it. The day we went to go give the money to the guy, we also stopped at the zoo. I let Skyler not be in the stroller and he loved just running around. Skyler's new favorite saying is "how's your day?" He asks me this constantly and sometimes he'll answer if I ask him. He talks so much it's unreal. Everyday before Jordan goes to work, Skyler tells him, "good bye see you guys later, good day at work!". He also always tells me that his "guys" (the little people toys and the lego people and other similar toys) are going to the grocery store and the fabric store. Sometimes he needs to put his cars down for naps. He also is really in to having me pretend to change his stuffed animals' nonexistant diapers. He is developing quite an imagination. He loves to draw and does a really nice job of it and always tells me what he's just drawn. He also likes to ask me or Jordan to draw random things for him, carrots are a popular thing. He got a haircut on Monday, his first not done by Jordan or I. He was terrified and as a result sat very still the entire time. Here is a picture.
