December 2009

This month has flown by -- and thank goodness that it as since I have been rather Grinchy! Christmas in a new place makes Christmas feel a little odd! We have missed all our PL family, but have enjoyed our time with our family here.

December started with a visit from MerriLein! She had a school board meeting in San Diego and I drove down to be with her. We had a great time (except for the part when we paid $20 for one of those street massages --our bodies were badly beaten....)


This picture was taken right before the beating. We were still smiling.
Next, out little Haylie turned 8! Where does the time go? We only let our girls have birthday parties on their even birthdays, so Haylie had really been looking forward to her big party. Unfortunately, since we just moved here, we had no friends to invite! Thank goodness for family! The Kendigs, Grandma and Uncle Blake all joined us for a fabulous party at Chuck E. Cheese!


Happy Birthday Haylie Mae!

Trevor's family made a trip from Utah to join Haylie on her special baptism day.

Happy day!

Yes, we made this all by ourselves!!



Poor Trevor works about 100 hours/week (no joke) so he falls asleep every time he sits down. Here he is spending some quality time with his Dad.

Cute Katie!
Well, it's been quite a year! We started in Plumas Lake, moved in January to Camarillo and moved in October to Corona. Lots of packing and unpacking! To be honest, I am not one bit sad to see this year go! Here's to a more settled 2010!

Yuck! I hate moving. You're a trooper. I'm glad you're closer to family though. That's always nice.
Congrats to Haylie on her baptism!! I remember dating Dorian and you were in California (February) and we stopped by your apartment and Trevor showed us pictures of your new little one. So crazy that it was 8 years ago....
WOW!

Thanks for letting me in on your blog! :) Ours is still
www.mike-shelby.blogspot.com
and you are still on my permitted list.

Hope you stay settled for a little bit. Mike and I lived on the border of Riverside and Corona for a couple years. We loved it and made so many wonderful friends there. Hope you enjoy it too!

Congrats on the baptism-a special day!

Cute, pictures. I love it that you have a little red head with freckles. Adorable.

Hiya! I keep meaning to update your blog address, but you know how that goes... Glad to see you had a great Christmas! And the family pic is adorable! But you have no boys! Now that I'm pregnant it's my duty to encourage others to jump on the bandwagon. (Otherwise, how would this world possibly be populated?) How about trying for baby #4 and boy #1? (just kidding)

Your girls are adorable!

Her baptism dress is beautiful. What a great day. You look so pretty in that picture at her baptism.
