New Car!!

About a week ago we got a new car! Rafa decided to trade in his truck and we got a Kia Sorento. So far we love it!

Rafa with his truck...I think this is from when he first got it.

Getting closer!

So i've been horrible with pictures lately! We've had lots of family gatherings too and I just always forget to get out the camera and take pictures. I'll blame it on pregnancy and a forgetful mind! :) Pregnancy sure has been quite the roller coaster and full of surprises but I can't wait for our little girl to get here! We have made some good progress in her room this last weekend and will get pictures taken when it's picture ready!

This was a couple of weeks ago around 21 weeks
This was this last week at 23 weeks. Over the last week I fill like I have gotten lots bigger and my belly a lot more solid. I also now am enjoying lower back pain and heartburn! Always on to something else! Haha
I will try and scan some pictures in of the little one here soon to post as well.

New House

So we moved about a month and a half ago to a new place in Orem. We love it! It's so nice to be closer to family and other things. I don't miss the other house as much as I thought I would, probably because this is a pretty sweet duplex. I promised Staci pictures forever ago and here they are!

The backyard is very nice and we have a fence that seperates our yard from the other half so each duplex has their private space which is great. We also have a garage that we love!

The house is great and the walls are pretty thick so the noise from the neighbors is minimal.

Now come visit us! :)

Birthday Celebration

Birthday Time!!

Me blowing out my 28 candles!!

Laura blowing out her candles

So it's been a while since the birthdays but I thought I'd post pictures anyway. For Laura's bday Staci came down and we worked on a craft project. It was fun to have Staci here for a visit. We had a good time doing our blocks but it took all afternoon!

Dad's birthday

January 5 we celebrated my dad's 59th birthday! It was a good evening, we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse and then back to their house for presents and cake/ice cream!

Opening his Blu-Ray player!

Enjoying his new banana chair.

Anticipating opening his gifts!

Happy birthday dad! We love you.

Christmas Morning - First one together!

Rafa and I enjoyed our first Christmas as husband and wife! We had a nice relaxing morning opening gifts.
