We are moved in

Our new house is just perfect for us. 4 bedroom 2.5 baths. We are having alot of fun decorating it and making it our own. We love having people over to enjoy it with us. We have people over to swim, eat and of course play games like Wii.....in our special "fun room" with a place designated just for Wii players and scrapbookers.

This house is just so different then what we are used to coming from AZ. In AZ all the houses are stucco and pretty new. This house is brick and siding and set in an established neighborhood. We have grown to love this style.

The back yard is one of our favorite parts of the house as it offers so much room to do so many different things. We have trees which reach to heaven in the back, a garden and plenty of open grass for Victoria and Lollie to play. We also have a patio to entertain and We have really enjoyed swimming in our pool. Having an above ground pool is so different then the in ground pool we had in Phx but just as fun!

Here is the dinning room and living room. This is our new table that opens to seat 8. Its wonderful when we have friends over or family in town so we can all eat together. We also have a breakfast nook which we have our small family dinners.

Victorias room is a very light shade of pink. She is really loving having a big girl room with all her toys in there and her big girl bed. She thinks its really great being able to sleep without sides. I guess you can say the theme in her room is.....stuffed animals???????

Zoo Field Trip

Victoria's pre-school class took a trip to the zoo. Since I work at the school I get to go along on field trips. Mamaw had the day off so she went on the zoo field trip too. Its really neat to watch Victoria interact with her friends. It was pretty hot out for a Zoo trip but the kids loved seeing the animals. Victoria likes field trips because she thinks it is so fun to sit on the big white bus and play with her friends in other classes.

Meza Family Visit

We love you Albert, Berta, Tata and Danny!

Come Back Soon!

Hermitage Foundation Museum

My friend Karen works for the museum and got Victor's family a private tour while they were in town. They really enjoyed it and thought the museum gardens were beautiful. They also enjoyed hearing the story on how the museum was established and were so impressed that Karen got them a Spanish speaking tour guide so that Berta could understand. Thanks Karen for the fun time.

Candle Making

We took a one day trip up to Yankee Candle Factory while our family on Victors side was in town visiting. Vic and his brother Albert helped the kids make candles. They had alot of fun with it. Danny knew exactly what colors he wanted his firecracker candle to be. Victoria just wanted to keep dipping. It didn't matter what color it was. The fun is in the creating.....

4th of July 2008

Victor's Dad, Berta, Albert and Danny all came to town for a week over the July 4th holiday. We really had such a nice time with them. Its so nice to have family near by even if only for a week. Victoria loves her cousin and Victor was so happy to spend time with his dad and his brother. I love them all too and am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family with fun-loving people. We went to the beach for to see the fireworks. We spent the day at the beach playing and getting some sun while watching the sunset and waiting for the fireworks to start. We were joined by other friends too. Karen and Sophie came and The Mann's and Mamaw had the day off too. Here are a few pictures of the fun day.....

How Cute

Cousins Victoria and Danny

Danny and Victoria

In the "fun room" of our house. Victoria has a designated section for her toys, Vic has a designated section for his Wii and I have a designated section for my scrapbooking. Well Victoria has this little table that Victor made her for one of her birthdays. She loves to eat her meals here and watch tv. So while cousin Danny was here this is where you would pretty much find the little cuties eatting their meals.....they would beg to eat at the little kids table and not the adult table. How cute is this??
