Merry Christmas!

Will and I got new vehicles for Christmas!!    2015 Toyota's I got a Highlander Limited in dark metallic gray and Will got a Tacoma 4x4 pro in black.  We got grandma Carole Wright's employee pricing from Big Two Toyota in Chandler.  Wahoo!!  We love them!!! 

Christmas work party dinner 12/12/14

We got dressed up and went to "The Landmark" in Mesa for the work Christmas dinner party.  The food was great!  Cheesecake is the best ever there seriously better than Cheesecake Factory.  

Came home and took a couple of selfies! Lol. 19 Christmas's with this guy!  The years fly!  

Calgone take me away!!!

2 solid days of kids fighting, not listening, back talking, melt downs, dog barking for no reason, a messy house, husband out of town, supposed to be at real estate school, trying to get ready for company, interruptions all day and I'm seriously about to lose it.  It's actually been a few weeks of solid crazy I'm starting to feel the pressure but proudly I've stayed calm.  Primary president duties.  I don't know if I can take anymore today.  I'm going to carry on folding the laundry maybe I can zone everything out for about 30 mins.  Geesh 

Been awhile....

It's been a long while since I've posted!  Wow!!  I'm terrible.  Anyways lots has happened in the past two years.  Lol. Facebook and Instagram have taken more of my time than my blog and now I realize I need to change that.  My blog is printable and really more of a journal to me.  McKenna is driving now and is on her second car!  Not her fault but her first which was her dream car a VW beetle bug didn't run very well so we sold it and got her a Hyundai Accent.  She went on her first date recently and also to her first formal dance with long time buff Conner Scoresby.  Pictured above.  Neither have their license only permits so Jenna and I got to tag along!  Hee Hee McKenna gets her braces off in a couple of weeks and is in the dental assistant program with CAVIT.  She's a straight A student and a wonderful young lady!  Time flies by!!!  

Calvin is 12 now and got braces last month.  Lucy our dog is pretty much a Calvin and Will lover.  She's definitely Calvin's dog though.  He is an "A & B" student and a wonderful deacon who loves to pass the sacrament!  He is a great big brother to Sophia!  He is so sweet upbeat and cheerful love this handsome boy!!! 

Sophia is now 4 getting close to 5 and loves going to dance class where she does tap and ballet.  She loves her battery operated car and loves to go fast!  She is a doll and we are so blessed to have these three amazing children!!!! 

Will aka muscle man because he works out so much is a busy guy.  He works a lot as the Broker of a busy real estate office along with his own real estate deals and working in Mesa daily.  He is out hunting which is his favorite hobby.  Church keeps him busy as the financial clerk.  He is an amazing daddy and we are very blessed to have him!  

Me well I'm busier than I've ever been!  Lol. I'm a stay at home Mom and help Will with real estate, run kids all over Maricopa and am going to real estate school to become a licensed realtor.  I'm going with my dear friend Sandy Lines.  That makes it much better!  It's harder than I thought it would be for me.  I also am the Primary President and wow that's more than I ever anticipated but I love it and love the children and love my presidency and the teachers.  Our life is pretty blessed and we thank Heavenly Father daily for it!  We have our trials and struggles from time to time just like everyone else but I don't care to discuss that.  :-). 

This week we are looking forward to my sister and her girls arrival on Wed night then a wonderful thanksgiving at my Moms down the street.  Then Saturday we all my parents, sister and nieces and us are going on a 7 day cruise!  Super excited and blessed!  

The Best 3 Gifts Ever on Sept. 7, 2012

I must say that these three beautiful wonderful children are the biggest joy in mine and Will's life!  They make us laugh, smile, cry, crazy and everything in between and we wouldn't have it any other way!  We love them so very much and feel so blessed to be their parents and have them in our lives!!!!

Janine Richie There will always be someone taller, thinner, or younger than you, 

but there will never be another you. Rejoice in who you are.

Natalie Gold Malan I hope you're not talking about you, but if you are I know 

plenty of people (including me) who admire and love you for many other reasons 

than your outward appearance (though I have to say, I'm also pretty sure 

everyone thinks you're gorgeous!). I'm not going to pretend I haven't felt the same 

way many times. Just remember, if you give in to those beliefs, that's exactly 

what you'll become, and we're better than that! So get up and do something nice 

for someone else (and give yourself credit for all you're already doing for your 

loved ones). It's the best way to feel good about yourself. ;)

 I totally agree with Natalie! But when I feel that way, I treat myself to something-

clothes, chocolate ice cream or whatever else, and then I change something 

about myself like my hair or get a new hobby.

You are such a great lady!

First day of seminary and high school for McKenna and first day of 5th grade for Calvin....Sophie well she thought it was her first day of school but it was school at home with Mommy since she's only 2!!!  Her face says it all :o)  ha ha

I sure love these three kiddos of ours!!!  They are so amazing, funny, cute and special in their own ways bringing us joy every single day!  Not sure how I got so blessed but I did.  Their Dad is pretty wonderful too and makes for a great Seminary teacher according to many youth including McKenna!  Loving it!!!!
