New Years

Yep I'm a vein person. Not to often does my hair turn out good. So I had Janica take my picture while I was brushing my teeth before we went out!! I really liked how my hair turned out that night.

We went to dinner with Cheryl and Laci. We went to Ra and had Sushi. This is Laci's famous pose!

Cheryl and I enjoying our Sushi

That is like wraped eel. That's not what I like. Cheryl and Laci do.

Happy New Year. We ended up at the Salty Senorita to end our night. We went to the movies after dinner and saw Sherlock Holmes. Great movie. Cheryl had a hard time understanding Robert Downey Jr with his English accent. LOL Cheryl comes from England!!

Too Cute

Is this just tooo cute!! We were taking some videos to share with Jaren and we came back to my room and was just hanging out. Tawni found her comfy spot to lay. We were rubbing Jaylyn's tummy earlier and so that's where Tawni ended up.

Christmas in a new home

Christmas at the Wright house was a bit different. We did not put up a Christmas tree or decorations. Well a few. Cheryl made me a wreath for my front door and I did put out two things that were really important to me. Between the move being so close to Christmas and just having boxes every where we just chose not to put any thing up. And we were really fine with that. A quite Christmas morning but had Jaylyn and Jacob come for lunch and then head back to the apt which is Jaylyn and Jacobs place now till mid January till they move into a smaller one in Tempe.Long story and make it really short we went back to the apt to use our phone to make our Christmas call to Jaren. I did not shut off the phone because we can use more then one phone to speak with him. Well you have to have a phone modem to use your phones. LOL well we took then out when we moved and they were packed some where. But all worked out well. We just used our cell phone and did a call into Jory and Janica in Ut and we all just got to talk with him.

I made ham and yes I used my new ovens, minus the potatoes, that's another story!! Squash from Costco, oh sooo good.

Small in numbers but what a great dinner we had. Next year will be the mother load. Jaren will be home. A new grand baby BOY!! And all the kids in our new home. And I can't wait!! What fun I will have with the baby.

My turn to talk with Jaren Phil. MOM'S do have some privileges to talk one on one. Then I shared him with the family.

Here is David talking with Jaren and Jory on the other end of hte phone in Ut about up coming hunting trips they have to plan for in the future here. Hunting will begin in August if they all get drawn. Or Thanksgiving again. = (

Jaylyn in our old bedroom in the Apt!! Enjoying her phone visit, haha looks a bit different. They put their bed mattress on the floor cause in their other room she had a bunk bed and it was high to the ceiling and it was becoming difficult for her as now she has frequent trips to the potty room at night!! Not fun to climb down a ladder. Every one got their talks in with Jaren. He is doing so well. It was really fun at one point to listen to them all laugh and talk with each other knowing Jaren is in Argentina, Jory and Janica in Ut and we were here in Az. The laughter and the joking with themselves is what I have missed hearing. They are adults now and growing in so many different directions. Its a fun place to be. Watching your kids grow into great adults. Jaren will be home in 6 months and they will go fast. Jory and Cam gave him some of the best advice that Jaren was asking for. Go strong and don't give up. Do your best as a missionary. I know he will be strong to the end.

Move In

Here is some of our new neighbors, except they came in the back yard first. Just came through the side fence and just said Hello!! It was a good thing that Tawni was not in the back yard or she would of had a hay day chasing them around. We did manage get them back to where they live behind us with some help with Rachel Judd chasing them back through the fence hole they came from.

Here are some of our other neighbors. Abby is the brown horse, and Amigo is the painted one. They are sooo nice.

Very friendly willing to visit when ever you come out side.

I have been teased so much that now I have two ovens to cook with. Ya! But all who know me am not the chef of the year. So I purposely had David take this picture showing that really I can and I DO really cook. I have had a break living in the Apt, but do remember some of the basic skills to cook. And by the way that meal turned out sooo good. I actually made two meals out of it!!

Here are some really cute visitors we had the day we moved in. Alexa, and Courtney Brower. Soo cute. The were playing with the barbie dolls that Janica and Jaylyn played with when they were little. It kept them busy while we got to visit with Alyne and Darren.

Here is my BFF Cheryl and Rachel her daughter. They were soooo helpful the whole day we moved in. They were the ones who put my kitchen together. We just had people coming and going that day and just unpacked my stuff and put it away. They went from room to room and put the beds up or well made them. Found the sheets for them got my bathroom stuff out put it up. It was so fun to go from room to room and see what she and Rachel had done. I loved it. I will be ever in her debt for her service.

Jory and Tom Webb. Tom used to be in our ward about 2 yrs ago. Then when we had a layover in the Durrango ward that is where Tom and his wife Devon live. They actually lived in the same apt complex as we did. And he just had a baby girl. Was so nice of him to come and help us move.

Helpers putting things in the garage.

We were so blessed to have such wonderful help from the Durrango Ward help us move. And then when we got to the house we had a few new ward members from our new ward the Fairview ward come and help.

Jory and Brittney helping with some painting in the house. The only one thing about the house that we did not like was that the bedroom was a pink color. A light pink. And he bathroom was a peach. Its the master bedroom and bath. So we just put more neutral colors in there. Like what is in the other bedrooms.

We put Cheryl to work again!!

Jaylyn

Here is Jaylyn at almost 17 weeks. So cute! Dec 21st she will be able to find out what she is having.

Friends

Friday we went to dinner with some friends, Roberto and Liz and Laci and Cheryl. We went to Raw and had some Sushi. Yum Yum! We some times get out of hand. Just a bunch of middle aged fun happy people just enjoying each others company!!

This was so funny!! Roberto has a birthday this month. Ahhhh the big 50! I just found this to be so funny. Look at those guys they all have reading glasses on just to see!

We had so much fun us girls just laughing and carrying on!! We sometimes just get into our own little world and just reminisce.
