first day of school

Kaylee is ready for her very first day of Preschool at Santa Rosa Elementary. She was so excited to go!

Her teachers said she did GREAT. They kept asking each other...is this really her FIRST day of school? She did great with all the kids and fit right in!

A hug for Buddy before she goes.

Kaylee and Cade love to play together. They get themselves in very odd positions sometimes which makes me laugh. Today it was 'wear your shirt on your head'....Cade looks so tough and Kaylee looks like she's rappin in da hood.

visitors for Christmas

My mom and dad came to Maricopa to spend Christmas with us. While they were here Richard and Julianne and their kiddos dropped off on their way from Houston to CA. It was great to see them, and to see my new nephew Richard IV.

temple lights

We went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights. It was nice to get out after feeling so sick all the time....although I still felt sick that whole time. It was great to get out and meet some friends from our ward there too.


We came all prepared with BLANKETS and warmness!
