January

 Enjoying time with Mimi - New Year's Day!



 Mimi took you for a walk - here you are at the top of the golf course hill.
We ate at In-N-Out burger after taking Mimi to the airport.

Nice work catching that lizard!!

For mommy's birthday we stopped at the Hoover Dam (you had REALLY been wanting to see this!), stayed the night at the Rio, shopped for furniture, and then stayed at the Palace Station. What a special, fun time we had on our first family outing to Las Vegas!








 Carson Paul, you do love to count money ;)-
 Hot Air Balloon Festival in Mesquite




 Our house got a lovely new paint job!


Mimi came for the Super Bowl and had some fun craft ideas for you!

December

What a month! So many new and exciting things happened, but it was quite the ride.

 Dad took you kids down to Medford to see Mimi while I went through the apt, preparing for the movers to come. Cars Paul, you stayed in Medford for a few weeks with Mimi, waiting for daddy to pick you up and for your journey to Mesquite to begin!
These pictures are to show just how gross our time in our apartment were! This is all garbage! AMAZING what can accumulate in just a few months!




Our new house!! One of our neighbors surprised us and paid to have our yard cleaned up! It was a mess before with leaves everywhere!! Such a kind gesture!
You went to school and enjoyed your special time in Medford with Mimi! You even got lots and lots of snow to play in!!


Yay!! My, Carsie boy, dad, and the dogs all arrived safely! Better get that carpet torn out!



 We discovered we have parachuters that land behind us. That was a cool first!
First hike out in the desert! We are having fun exploring our new terrain!











You did very well while I painted! You even did some school work and journaling most days.


 Dad's hospital - Mesa View Regional Hospital

Your room colors!
 Amazingly, Santa did come to our new home! Christmas Eve was the first night we slept in our new house. No pillows or blankets! We returned our rental van Christmas Eve, ate at Taco Time, got to our home late, and then prepared Christmas for you sugars! :)-





 Enjoying the Nevada sun begins!!

 Love this one - P is all wrapped around you and the dogs are cuddled with A :)
Making progress - woo-hoo! You have one awesome room!

  Another first - realizing the sunsets are amazing!

 Yay! Mimi comes for a visit! Our first company. The house was a disaster and nothing unpacked. Mimi worked and unpacked, cleaned, organized the kitchen!!
