Happy Birthday Raquel











Yesterday was Raquel's First Birthday. She has grown so much. She started walking at 11 months and is just all over the place. We did a little family party for her at the park. It was Disney Princess themed and we had the cutes cake for her. She had so much fun. Jared and I got her a Dora the Explorer TV, (Tyler mainly uses it) Tyler got her a Little Mermaid phone, (which she loves) Grandma and Grandpa got her some cute clothes and so did Aunt Nikki. Jayne out did us all. She got her a swimming pool with a slide. I am so excited to use it tomorrow. It is suppose to be in the ninety's. Jared and Nikki let Raquel play in her cake. She had the biggest smile on her face it was cute.

Jared's Birthday


Its the big 27 for Jared. We got him a Nintendo Wii and a big cheese cake. (his favorite). The Wii has been so fun to play. Jared is already a professional tennis player. Its pretty amazing to watch him play.

Our New Home














So After shopping for 5 months we finally found a home. It is in Draper just up the street from us. I am so excited because we will be here for quite some time. No more moving after it is fixed up. Oh and that is the best part. It is completely finished. YEAH. We close on it May 29th. So if the inspection goes well then there will be no problems. Yah We are even thinking about getting Tyler and Raquel a giraffe to put in the dog kennel. LOL
