It is about time

The summer is here, and people are starting to come, and we are playing in the sun. Mike's parents and sister and brother-in-law came out to see us. It has been so much fun so far. We went to the park and we all died on the couch afterwards. Also soccer has started, Bailie and Brayden have been enjoying the exercise. They both have the own fun teams and as a family we are growing stronger to support each other in the heat. So many people have been looking for my next blog posting to see our dog and the kids (that never came) BUT HERE IT IS! Hope everyone likes it.

Out with the OLD, In with the New

We had so much fun as a family this Christmas. We decided to stay in AZ for the holidays and enjoy what we had.Christmas Eve we went to our cousin Kim and Jason's house and had a great steak dinner, played fun games, and sang fun karaoke Christmas songs.Christmas morning was fun to enjoy the kids at our house, and see their faces when they saw what Santa brought. We relaxed and ate and just enjoyed each other. Our big gift was when Mike decided to bring home a dog a few weeks before, and said " Merry Christmas." Bailie asked for a dog, but I thought a FAKE one would be great. We have grown to love her and "Dazy" has been a lot of fun. We missed going to the family's, but this was nice to stay here for a change.
New Years was a blast! We had a lot of the Heywood cousin's over, even Wesley Johnson (he was in town for swimming). We enjoyed the party as much as everyone else, banging the pots and pans, having s'mores, and playing Guitar Hero.What a fun night.
As Jan. comes in, our life starts back it normal. Working hard, kids going to school, exercising, ect... We know that we need to stick together and enjoy what we have.
