One boy, One Girl

It all started with one boy and one girl....
I moved to Arizona the Spring after I graduated from Moreno Valley High. I was excited to be on my own and determined to make the most of it. My first Family Home Evening activity in Arizona changed my life. I meet Nathan then, and life has not slowed down since. We were playing Volleyball, and I noticed the Tall Skinny guy with the funny serve. He noticed the girl who was wearing to much purple. (shirt and shoes) That weekend there was a chili cook off, and a "group" of people were invited back to Nathan's house to watch a movie. All that showed up was me and one other guy. Not a very big group. It was that night that I fell for the first pick up line in my life. Nathan held my hand that night. From there we Engaged in September and Married the weekend before Christmas.


Nineteen months later we had Ella. Nineteen months after that we had Bree, and you guessed it, nineteen months after that we had Owen. For all you math attacks Owen is passed nineteen months and there is no news to give.



I am a stay at home mom, and I love the craziness of it. Most of you are probably laughing at me for starting this, knowing that organization is not my thing, but it is something I am working at. I sew and scrapbook, when I get the time. I am also the second councilor in Young Women's, and I love working with the youth. I am also a ward missionary.

Nathan works for Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. He is doing a desk job which is nice in the summer when it is HOT. In the winter he gets a little antsy to be outside. Nathan has every other Friday off, which we all love very much. We try to get a little extra family time in on those weekends. Nathan is the Wards Mission Leader, which gives us the opportunity to get to know the missionaries.

Ella just turned 5 and starts Kindergarten in 2 weeks. Time goes by fast. She is soooo ready for it. I am excited and scared and happy. She will be going full day at Alhambra Traditional School. I am excited about the program they have and how much she is going to learn. She already tells me she knows everything.

Bree is 3, and full of energy. Some days you just can't keep her from bouncing. She will try to move her birthday up so she can go to school too, but she has 2 years before she gets to go. We will do preschool time at home.

Owen, what to say about Owen. He is all Boy. I thought my girls were tom boy and I would know what to do when a boy came along. I was mistaken. Owen loves sports. If you are flipping through the TV and there is a basketball game, or soccer, or football (you get the picture) the runs to the TV yells BALL and goes crazy until you turn it back. Then he makes himself comfy on the couch and will watch it. He also loves cars. Anything on wheels, he can not get enough of.

I love each of there personalities. They are all so different and so much fun. I am excited to start this Blog and I hope I can keep up on it so you can have fun with us.

And it all started with one boy, one girl.
