I know I have a ton of updating to do so let me start with the newest part of our lives, our new baby Harrison. He is a blue pitbull with a freckly nose. He is about as behaved as a crazy 2 year old I'm suspecting. We are getting up to potty 2-3times a night which isn't too bad and he is learning to potty outside but we still have accidents. We have only had him for a week now so we are extremely happy with how he is settling in. As all of you know I was extremely worried about Hallie and him getting along, and needless to say I can see them cuddling on the floor right now! They wrestle A LOT. Here is a few pictures....

October, we got to go back to Kansas City together and it was a blast! We got to meet our new niece Miranda Kaylynn Marie Genola.
 |
| She is perfect! |
Then we attended AJ and Kerry's wedding! The bride was beautiful and AJ was handsome as ever.
and after the wedding Jabin and I met up with a few friends next door to have a few drinks. It was nice to catch up with everyone especially Paul and Janelle!
After the wedding we spend out ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY in Toranto Canada. We stayed in the nicest hotel I've ever been in but I told you about this in my last post, here are a few pictures.
We both really like Toronto so I'm sure we will be going back.
Okay lets back it up a little bit, lets go back to November when my momma was in town. Jabin was only here with her for a day because he was in Vegas for work. We had a blast! We went to an apple orchard to have spiked apple cider, it was a long drive but it was a lot of fun to hang out with my mom. Hallie woke her up on her birthday with a big slobbery kiss in bed and I has a balloon in tow.
 |
| This was the night we went out for dinner for her birthday! We were stuffed! |
 |
| This sums up Hallie and Mom the whole time there were here. |
We had such a good time and I'm pretty sure we both gained 10lbs while she was here!
Thanksgiving is next, we got our first BIG snow the night before Thanksgiving,
Only a few inches right?!? This was our first Thanksgiving away from both of our families. We were invited to Michelle's (CFO) house to have dinner with her family. It was really nice to spend time with a family even if it wasn't ours. Michelle has 4 dogs that are a hoot! They range from a 100lb+ german shepard to a 5lb chihuahua, Jabin and the chihuahua played a lot. We did miss our families but we made it work.
December, we got to go back to Kansas City for Christmas! We decided to drive so we could bring Hallie. She wasn't happy to ride in the car, we drove all the way in 1 day to Kansas, it was TOO LONG. The drive should be a 2 dayer for sure. We made it to town around 2 in the morning. We stated at my Dad's house. Hallie and Mulligan played a lot as usual.

| Allison made it down for a few days which was really nice, I really miss her! |
 |
| Hallie helped dad with firewood! |
 |
| We got all the cousins together too, Love these babies! |
 |
| Elaina bean got a tricycle! |
Seeing her and Jabin play makes my heart smiles to say the least. He is the best Uncle Jaby.
We spent Christmas Day with my side of the family this year and headed to Jabin's family's house the day after Christmas and stayed for 4 days.
Then we had to drive home. We made it a 2 day trip back and slept over in Indianapolis. As much as we love our families we were ready to be home that is for sure.
January brings my BIRTHDAY! I can't believe I am 27! Yikes!! Too close to 30 :-/ They had a cake for me at work. (work meaning Deiorios when they need me)
and Jabin took me to dinner, it was a nice day! I was also told that I was getting a PUPPY for my birthday!!! This was when I put my application in for Harrison! It took 3 months for us to finally get him!
January was also the month Dad and Judy came to visit us! What a busy week! Dad managed to put a garbage disposal in and hardwired it to the dishwasher (Heck if I know how), put a line in for our fridge to make ice and sealed all the frames on the windows in the house. Such a busy man, and Jabin wonders why I am a do'er and a go go go'er! I get it from him. We also went snowmobiling up in the Adirondack Mountains. That was a busy busy day!

| This was a Dinosaur BBQ, it was really good for NY BBQ |

| Also at Dinosaur |

| Oh Dad the fashionista! |
 |
| Group photo at the prettiest view we had! |
 |
| We stopped for lunch and we were exhausted! |
 |
| I completely wiped out in the deep snow. |
We also made it to Saranc Brewery for a tour.
 |
| We found some hats that we should have had for snowmobiling! |
That was a fun filled week for sure and I'm so glad they got to come visit us!
February was a slow month for us and man we needed it! All we really had was Valentine's day and I got the most beautiful boquet of tulips and iris! I also got a pirate themed card from my Gramps, man do I love that man!!!
 |
| Our Kiss-A-Bull! |
Now we are to March and it has been PACKED!!! Lets start with the first of the month.....
March 1-4 we were in Chicago for a baking confrence for Jabin's work. All I can really say is that we ate, and ate and ate!! It was a lot of fun and nice to see Jabin back in the city he loves!
