LO-LO's christmas tree, she did really good this year with it, and I avoided her house so I would not have to help take it down, she took it down herself, so now I can go and see her

A trip to Zions National Park..... I am sure there are many more to come

Camille is getting bigger and changing everyday

camille at 3 months old, she is getting really big

and camille at 4 months old

well as you know we moved back in october to southern utah, for Juan to take a new job with the department of the interior, zion national park, we finally closed on our house on december 11, 2009 and got to move in with a few items right before christmas, then we rented a uhaul over the new years long weekend and got everything down here. That was not before the boys, dad and juan spending two days painting as much as the house as they could. My mom came down and cleaned the bathroom and painted it. Ash got to unpack boxes, yea for her, I think that is why is not coming to see me know is because she knows there is still 900 boxes out in the garage.

As you can see Santa found us even though we never got our own tree up, but nana and papa made sure to get their house all decorated for Cort inside and out, I have to say I still believe they should have won the lighting contest in emery. But you know Cort loved them anyway.

We did get our little girl Camille blessed on December 26th it was really nice to have my dad take care of it and he did a really good job.

Now we are here in Laverkin getting settled into our house and waiting to see what 2010 brings to us. We hope you all had happy holidays and time with family, and we wish you all a wonderful new year. And to all our family who was unable to be with us, we hope you all had a wonderful christmas and new year.

And So Life Goes....

Sleeping beauty.... oh the moments that I love....




Here are my two cute kids, cort wears his winter hat everywhere







this is one of my favorite outfits cause I love the shirt (thanks dixie)

And as you can see she smiles now........

Life sometimes takes you by surprise and you wonder how you ever got to where you are and if you are going to make it to where you should be. That is where we are right now in life.

An update on our house, we were to close on the 24th of november and guess what... that did not happen. We did enjoy a lovely thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house here in hurricane. We ate alot, but missed out on some of the good parts like the pumpkin pie, don't ask I am not sure where we went wrong with that one.

Ashley and I enjoyed a wonderful night out on thanksgiving night, we took in the movie NEW MOON, and yes we sported shirts that said I love edward cullen (ash) and team Jacob (ches). We then thought for a split second we should try the outlet stores at Zion Outlets down here. We scored some awesome stuff at the shade store, I did have to use my old lady hips on some young punks who thought they could cut in line. We also hit the gymboree outlet for some kids clothing and that was it after one hour and 45 minutes to just pay and get on, we got in the car at 2:30 am and came home, Just a side not our movie got out about 9:30 pm give or take a few minutes. I know just plain crazy.

Now back to the house, we then had a date of December 1 to close on the house... and guess what still no house. So Kimala thanks for the offer but the tree may still be in storage by the time we close on the house, but we did put one up at Ash's house (photos to follow soon) We now have a date of December 10, which is fast approaching so we are sure hoping it happens this time.

So enjoy our new photos, our kids are growing everyday and changing so much with each day, Cort has learned to spell his name, I am for sure he will go to preschool and yell RT when spelling his name. And as you can see from the photos Camille has learned to smile and she oohh's at people now also. Hard to believe she is almost three months old, times flies. There are days I wish I could freeze time to enjoy them just a little longer.

Melt My Heart

these are the faces of the worlds two cutest kids and yes I must say I am proud they are mine and also I am just be a little partial because they belong to me. I also have to say that it really is the eyes on these two, they are both big brown eyed cuties.

These are some new photos of them, cort is now two and a half and a little bit of a handful, but I would not trade him for the world. camille is two months old now and cute as can be, she loves to smile at people now and is doing really well, Juan and I fell really blessed to have such great kids.

Our family is still living with Ash at her house in hurricane, we hope to be able to close on our house in laverkin by December 1, 2009. that means we might just have a Christmas tree up at our new house. we will have to wait and see.

He Loves Her Too...

few people can get this little girl to smile, but as you can see from this photo her big brother lights up her world. this is the best part of being their mom!!!

***Happy Halloween***

This is the face of the cutest little elmo

This is the "why is there no money in my halloween card from nana"face!!!

Look at these two cute kids...

Cort, Juan, and Camille on Halloween

We had a great halloween, we (juan, ash and I) took Cort and Camille to the trunk or treat here in hurricane, Camille slept through it all and Cort just wanted to run crazy. I never did get a picture of them both in their costumes. Cort was the cutest little Elmo (thanks to his dad) and Camille was a super darling little gariffe (thanks to grandma carol). I did get them in their halloween shirts and they look really cute together. So Happy Halloween a little late.....

GOODBYE.....

Our big annoucement is that we have moved. Juan and I have moved down to southern utah and are in the process of buying a new home down here. We said goodbye to our first house in West Valley City and Juan said goodbye to Utah Department of Transportation after 10 years of working there. Kinda funny his last day was his first day 10 years ago.

Juan accepted a job with the feds, he is working for Zions National Park as a heavy equipment engineer. We have known for awhile that he wanted to do something different and this just worked out for us. He really likes his job and the fact he gets to be in the National Park everyday is not to bad either.

We are currently living with my sister in Hurricane till we close on our house which should be right before thanksgiving, but we are really exicted about the move and being closer to family. We know that everything happens for a reason and Juan was meant to take this job there have been many blessing that have come to our family in the past few months that we are very grateful for.

So here's to our old house in west valley (pictured here), we sure loved that house and will miss it, but we are looking forward to the new things coming our way for our family.

PS I am looking forward to having a real laundry room in my new house!!!! And my own master bathroom
