Happy birthday Ken

I want to wish my honey a happy 40th birthday today. We gave him breakfast in bed, a jar of 40 things we love about him and a book of tribute letters from extended family. We are happy to have him home with us today and will enjoy just being together.

happy b-day here in UT

I haven't been able to update our blog due to the move and computer difficulties. Today is Marcus' 13th birthday. He is a wonderful son and I love him very much. We are getting settled here in our new home in Provo UT. Ken flew back to Albuquerque tonight to finish the last few months of training while I get the kids set up in school. We have had fun with family visits and even a cousin over night. It will take a while to get everything organized but we are doing great and glad to finally be here.

Jared Lettered

Jared was surprised at his band banquet and concert to have earned the merits of lettering at Volcano Vista HS.

house for sale

We just listed our home. It looks completely different inside now. All new upgraded carpet. Tile floors professionally cleaned. All walls painted neutral colors, all sparsely staged. A lot of work! Hopefully it pays off.

Happy Birthday Jared

I want to wish my handsome Jared a Happy Birthday. Marcus made a card for him that says "Jared, you're so talented, smart, witty, and charming...
Sometimes I can't tell us apart! Happy Birthday!
