Catching Up...

Sorry it has been so long since I have last posted. Things have been crazy and we have been super busy and I have gotten behind on so many things. I will try to do better at posting more often.
First off, for Halloween we went to our ward's trunk or treat. It was fun but Nena just wanted to run around the parking lot. As soon as I put her down, she just took off and it was so hard to keep up with her so we had to borrow a stroller to put her in so we weren't chasing her all over the place.


All ready to go to the party. Nena was Snow White

She got a balloon so we tied it around her wrist so it wouldn't blow away. She loved it and kept playing with it.


Cute cousins

Playing


Friday was Clar's birthday and so Nena and I went to visit him at work. One of his brothers also works at the University of Phoenix with Clar and so his wife and kids went with us to eat lunch at a park by their work. We ate and hung out for a little bit, it was fun. Clar was done with work and so we drove to Laveen to look at some houses because we are looking to buy a house (one of the reasons I have been slacking on this blog) and it will most likely be in Laveen because it's close to Clar's work. On our way home we stopped by Miamigo's to eat dinner and then stopped by Clar's parents' house to visit and pick up a gift and by the time we got home, we had about a half an hour to hang out and relax before it was time to go play in our softball game at 8:30 that night. It was a fun game and we won!! My sisters brought some cupcakes for Clar's birthday so afterwards we sang happy birthday and ate them. We also took a team picture with the teammates who were there plus our kids and babysitters.


Our softball team "Riding Home Inspections"
The team is 99% family so it's a lot of fun. It is Clar and I, Kami and Michael, my parents, my sister and brother, my cousin and her husband, my aunt and uncle and another couple.

For Clar's birthday I got him tickets to the Cardinal's football game because it was a Monday night game so on Monday night we dropped Nena off at my parent's house for my sister's birthday celebration and drove out to the game. It was a great game they were so close to loosing but ended up winning 29 to 24!!

We got home so late that on the way home Nena just crashed

That's a lot of "catching up." It's fun to know what you guys are doing.

I can't believe you're going to buy a house "way out in Laveen." We probably won't see you very often when we're in Mesa.

Where in the world is Laveen? Never heard of the place. It's nice to know you're still alive!
