This way my blog will stay in chronological order...somewhat!
Well so I think everyone knows we have moved. For me it was bittersweet. I really did like NC, but I am so glad we are back in AZ. I am enjoying being around all the family and friends. We recently found a really great home in Surprise! I am loving it! We are finally in our own space again! I am so not done unpacking and decorating but we are in and our beds and TVs are up!
This is our house

The Entry ~Living Room

My favorite~ The Kitchen

My second fav.~ The Master Bath



The Dining Room (messy still)

The Boys Room and Bathroom


The Oasis Backyard

We don't have enough furniture to fill it all yet, and we can't wait to use our backyard!!
New Years Eve


The Pictures are not very clear sorry! We brought back a ton of Fireworks from South Carolina! We still have a ton!! If you saw some nice big fireworks on New Years they were probably ours, we had alot of fun, even had to hide out from the police, Yikes!!!Christmas Day!



I think we all got what we wanted!! It was fun waking up at my mom's with the whole family! We haven't done that with my family ever!!
Christmas Eve
This is my favorite day besides Thanksgiving!
We have a tradition to open 1 present on Christmas eve, always jammies!!
This year we had a nice dinner at my Uncles sis in laws house in Mesa.
Cooper loved all the doggies and the food was great!







More Holiday Fun
Right before Christmas all eight of my siblings were able to meet up. We haven't all been together in over 4 years. It was awesome, although it wasn't for very long. I hope we can all get together more often in the future!


The Ugly Sweatshirt Party
Chuck and I were invited to the ugliest Christmas sweatshirt party his good friend was hosting. It was alot of fun. Chuck actually ended up winning for the guys. It was so funny!! Good Times definitely!! Oh and in the last pic he is standing next to the picture he painted for his friends wedding. It was his first one and it was awesome...he is very talented!!



Thanksgiving
Yeah it looks pretty shabby but we literally found out Thanksgiving week we were moving back to AZ, and had to be packed up and in AZ in 10 days time. So we had a modest dinner, just us! it was actually kinda nice!!

Chuck's 30th Birthday (November 20th)
I know with that baby face he really can't be more than 20, right!
I think he enjoyed his birthday, I would have loved to have a great surprise b-day with all his friends but that just wasn't happening. But the kids and I had alot of jokes and silly stuff up our sleeves. The kids sure enjoyed Dad turning 30!




Ok so I really can't handle any more blogging tonight. I am so exhausted from this huge post. Well I hope I caught you up a little in our crazy life! I know there was alot of little things I didn't get to mention but wow, I really can't believe I just sat here and did all this!!! I am so glad to be back to somewhat normalcy!
