most important

Last time when I updated I forget to mention the most important and happiest day of my life that began this most amazing adventure.

On January 5th we celebrated our 3rd anniversary. We went to Appleby's as a family because we couldn't find a babysitter for kaylee it was fun.

On Sunday the 10th Sam and I gave talks in Sacrament Mtg. my topic was faith in adversity sam's topic was learning lessons from the past. I told everybody I was only going to give a 5 min. talk but it was more like 20 mins. Until next time

Our New Home

We purchased this home on Dec. 10th. We didn't move in till the Dec. 19th. Since we got the Keys Sam and My Dad had to do some projects the first and most important job they did was put new wood and linolium in the bathroom. The original toilet had a leak and there was dry rot in the subflloor and underneath. but the dryrot was every where but it looks beatiful now the linolium the Sam picked looks like tile.

He also put in a new Kitchen Sink, they also moved the counters over 6 inches so our refridgerartator fits.

Since we have lived here sam has made a countertop and installed a dishwasher, he has put in an extra phone line and we also painted the livingroom, hall, dining room, and kitchen. next to paint are the bedrooms and bathrooms

WE LOVE BEING HOMEOWNERS AND DOING PROJECTS TO BEAUTIFY OUR HOUSE . hOME IS WHERE THE hEART IS

Christmas 2009

kaylee's gift from Santa

I'm not really good at taking pictures or videos but this year for christmas we were so busy with the house. that it was just a small function.

On Christmas Eve we went with Mark, Nona, Tiana, Corinne, Ronan, Jarrel, Lynn, Summer and Mom to the Sacramento Zoo and FairyTale Land they were free till 2pm that day. The zoo was fun and the animals were awake and acting up just for the people it was great. That evening we had a white elephant gift exchange with my parents and Mark and Nona. Later that night we went to look at lights.

Santa came that night after we fell asleep. We didn't wake up till nine and Sam and I had to wake Kaylee up she wasn't very happy. But once she saw what she got from Santa she was happy. She also got a jacket from us. Sam got a toy from Kaylee and Me. I got some fairies and a giftcard to applebee's.

After we were done we went to my parents house and my dad made us breakfast. The we went up to Sam's Parent and had more breakfast. then we opened gifts over there Kaylee got a baby crib bed, a mouse stuffed animal, a doll, books, and I think other stuff but I can't remember. We got a giftcard to Fats, a blanket and other stuff together and separately.

It was a good time.
