Summertime

Skylar has started talking a bunch more and some of the words don't quite come out right. Currently my favorite word is "Fla-go-go" aka Flamingo. :) There are others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Here are a few recent pictures for the visually inclined. (Note: I dispise blogger because it always messes up the format of my posts...so please excuse the messed up format that I don't have time to fix). Feel free to click the pictures for a larger version.

Real life = bullet point blog post

I give up on telling a story about each event that happens in life. However, I saw a blog the other day that seemed more feasible for me. The woman simply stated all of the events/happenings/changes/normal day to day life things/etc. on her blog. I think I can do that! Its not that I don't want a blog or that I don't want to have something to look back on, but somehow blogging is never at the top of my "to do" list. I'll give a bullet-point blog a try. :) Here's what is currently happening in this Chisum house. -Matt is working at Pacific Coast Skydive in San Diego, CA. -He has been trying to build hours for the past 5 years and we are hopeful that he is almost to the point of having a steady job that we can stick with for a while. -I am staying home with Skylar. -Most days we find ourselves at the Park, Beach, San Diego Zoo, Water World, or out with friends. -Skylar is 18 months old and as busy as ever. -Sky is a chatterbox and will repeat anything (watch what you say!) -Matt's Grandma Betty passed away on July 5th, but we are rejoicing that she is now in heaven dancing with the angels! -We got to see most of Matt's family when they were in SoCal for the funeral. -Skylar and I went to Colorado last month for a week. -We love our church (Shadow Mountain Community Church) and have gotten really involved in their Young Marrieds group (YMC). -We are enjoying living in such a temperate climate, but are itching for a good thunder/rainstorm and are already ready for fall! :) -This spring we were fortunate to have Matt's parents in San Diego for 5 weeks, Lance and Val came for a visit, my sister Mackenzie came for a visit, my parents came to visit, and Matts sister Jenn and her family came for a visit. I think I'm forgetting someone, but we have had a lot of company and its been great! -Tomorrow my college roommate Hannah, her hubby Joe and their 6 month old baby girl Ya'el are coming to visit. :) -I'll try to update more often!
