I decided that it has been far too long since anyone posted on this blog. So I though I'd go ahead and post myself. So just so everyone knows, we're in out house. We should be closing next week but the sellers have allowed us to move in early. We had our appliances delivered today so after almost a week of being in a house with no kitchen appliances we can now live there much more comfortably. Once we get the house all organized I'll get some pictures up so you can all see how it's going.

Christmas List

Here are our Christmas picks for your records (and use). We'll use the Christmas list on google docs from last year for our wish lists. Also, we'll probably try to go in together for Mom and Dad (think $5 to $10 per person) to save some money there, so be thinking of what you'd like to do.

This person --> (gives to) This person

Lily --> Hailey
Junior --> Krystal
Jackman --> Jacob
Joshua --> Alex
Krystal --> Jackman
Alex --> Sarita

Hailey --> Eric Rogers
Jacob --> Lily
Ali --> Johnny
Chaz --> Liz
Ricky --> Jen
Jen --> Chaz
Tyson --> Alison
Liz --> Ricky
Eric Roundy --> Joshua
Sarita --> Tyson
Eric Rogers --> Eric Roundy

Be sure to put stuff on your wish list so people know what to buy/make for you.

Congratulations!

Good work, Jen! And congrats! We're so happy that Lily is here and well. She is a darling little girl.

Public Thanks for Ricky

Ricky spent a day and a half of his "break" working on my house. He helped me texture the office on Saturday and then spent all day yesterday (his last day home) installing my dishwasher. I'm sure he could have thought of more fun and/or relaxing things to do, but he is so kind and thoughtful that he helped us instead. Thanks, Rick!

We do also want to thank everyone else for all their help. Dad has spend a lot of time helping us when there was plenty for him to do at home. And everyone else has helped too. Thanks everyone!

There's still plenty of work to go and we're accepting whatever help people can give, but we want to also let you all know that we are available to help you all out too when you need it. Just let us know how and when we can help!

We love you all!

We need some help...

So, as you all know by now Tyson and I are going to have a little girl. We were never firm on our name choice for a girl and now I really don't care for it that much. Anyway, we have been trying to think of some other names and really have been hitting a brick wall. My mind is totally blank.
So, I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions...

Thanks Liz!

I'm loving how Liz has been updating our blog and making it such a fun place to visit! Thanks so much for keeping us all on the ball and so well informed.

Mom

Christmas Time

So I've been thinking what are our plans for the holidays while I am home? Are there any plans yet? If so what are they and if now I think that we should start making some.

I know that Jennifer and Tyson will be in Utah for a couple days and I am sure that Sarita and Ali will be spending time with their in-laws so I am thinking that we should plan ahead to maximize the time that we are all actually together. Not sure about Ricky's schedule either, or how long he will be home from school.

Like I said before, I will be home for almost a full week this year. I have not made any of my own plans yet so feel free to make some for me so long as they don't include babysitting. :) Just kidding . . . I might be willing to babysit a little bit.

Anyway . . . thoughts anyone?
