New Landscaping

Well it got done today. The landscapers were here at 7:30 this morning and boy they are fast. In the previous pictures you could see the dead grass and how awful it looked. Phil was quite startled seeing all the Mexicans. He came rushing into our room to inform of this.

Here are my pretty rose bushes only one has bloomed though. I love the yellow roses. Those guys were very good. They were quick and clean. For a while there I was scared. It was sure a mess but look how nice it is now.

This is where a tree is going. I am having 2 more fruit trees put up. An orange and another peach are going up. They are coming back tomorrow again in the morning to get it done.

Well here are the kiddies. This was taken on their first day of school here. Phil's hair is way longer and Des is black instead of light brown. I love these two, they make my life worth living everyday. They love each other for about 10 min. in a day, but he is very protective of her and will not let any of his friends get near her or say anything about her. He even watches what she wears to make sure it is not to short or show to much skin. These two are my greatest blessing.

Our New HOME !!!

This is our new house. Its on 6053 Wild Berry Dr. I love this house, I know that the grass needs to be done, but we are getting rocks put in. They should be here next week to get it done. I have 3 rose bushes, a peach tree, apple tree, orange tree and a Mexican pepper plant. That is the one thing that I am constantly taking care of is the garden. The kiddies love helping with it.

This is the front living room. I have all my stuff in here. I put up my pictures and my church pictures and stuff in here. I love having my own living room, but some how Chris always ends up with us in ours.

This is the kitchen from my living room. I love all the counter space. It has granite counter tops (loving it). It has tile throughout the whole house. I am a fan for anything but carpet, but let me tell you I hate having to sweep everyday. I bought a swifer broom and mop, but I go through 2 just doing the downstairs. Plus now that it is getting colder we all have to wear slippers.

Here is my double oven, I love this thing. This is why Thanksgiving is being held at our house. Chris's mom said that we have more counter space and 2 ovens so we win, but I don't think that I am really winning anything here. Also on this day I know that football is going to be on, on all the TVs. The one in the front living room (Chris's) and the back (mine).

These are the stairs that lead to the upper part, I would've taken pictures, but I still have boxes everywhere. Plus here is the door that leads to the gnomes. We joke around with the kids that this is the gnome closet. I have that thing packed all the way up. You never know how much stuff one can acquire until you move.

Here is the front living room, I know that it's kinda dark but that is why I hate this room. I have a BIG picture window that lets in so much light. This is where Chris is suppose to stay, but I think that he gets lonely and always hears us laughing and wants to come and join the fun. Sometimes the kids don't let him, cause he like to change the show on them.

Finally here is the pool. We love this thing. It is getting cleaned this weekend. They are going to drain it and fill it back up and get it all pretty and stuff. So this is what has been going on in our lives. I know that I have gotten a little behind, but I just barely got the computer unpacked and had the Internet installed. Thanks Alexis for getting me on the ball. I am going to be doing a little better at keeping up at least once a week or so.

New Kids on the Block

Well what can one say about this group. I just love them. I remember going to see them when I was 12. I was so in love with them and I am so excited that they are touring again!!!! I know I am so lame, but I truly love this group.

When we were living in Austin, me and my friend Melissa were going to see them in San Antonio, but I moved and they are coming here on Saturday. I am sad to say though, I will not be going to the concert. I had to make a decision on what I wanted more, tickets to the show or a house to move into. So everyone knows I picked the house. Here is the catcher though. I have a myspace account and I have some of the clubs here in Vegas as my friends so when I feel like going out and dancing I just email them so I can get on the VIP list.

So here is the greatest news, the new club LAX(last known as RA) inside the Luxor, is hosting the after party and they are going to be performing a little show. So I put myself on the VIP list along with Chris and our friends. So not all hope is lost about not being able to attend the show. I think that this is better, cause at the club I can dance and listen to the greatest group.

Long Time Coming

So I know that it has been a while since I last posted anything. I have been terribly busy. I will kinda go in order of what had been happening to us since I last posted.

1. Decided we were definitely moving back to Las Vegas.

2. Started packing our stuff(got it done in 3 days)

3. Decided on the day we were leaving the 26th of Aug.

But with our luck nothing ever seems to go the way we want. We ended up leaving like the 31st. Chris had some school stuff that he needed to take care of before we left and he needed to be there for that.

4. Finally got the truck, loaded everything up and took off the next day. My Ward was wanting to help, but Chris and I along with the kiddies and friends we got it done quick.

5. We arrived in Vegas on the 1st of Sep. got the kiddies all registered for Middle School. They ended up starting on the 3 of the month. They are both doing amazing. We were kinda worried about Phil going back into a public school, but he is doing great.

We started going to our old Ward, cause we just love everybody there SO much. But here is the best news of all...... We are moving into a house that has, wait for it.............A POOL!!!!!!!!

We are all stinkin excited. The kids and I have already said that we will be in the pool until it is to cold. The weather is perfect for this wonderful thing. It has 4 rooms and a nice covered patio. Alexis and Kris you guys need to come and visit and bring the kiddies.

To all our friends and family everyone is WELCOMED. We love being surrounded with everyone.
