2009 in review

January :

Leila turned two!! We had a big party and lots of fun.


February:

We celebrated Valentine's Day at the firehouse:

...and moved in with my parents for a little over a month, while....

March:
we closed on our first house!

It's been a big work in progress, but we're loving being homeowners!

and just about a week after moving in we got a puppy!

{yes, we're crazy!}

April:

Leila started dance!



May:

on my birthday we had a big housewarming party:

Roo graduated from San Francisco State (technically he graduated in December, but he walked in May)


June:
for Father's Day Leila took some super cute pictures with Tony's gear



July:
Our first baby, Ramon turned four!



We went to Disneyland and had so much fun!  Tony also played ice hockey in the firefighter olympics in Anaheim:

Then, our town had "Christmas in July" where Leila got to try ice skating for the first time.  She was not impressed!

Later in the month we were able to successfully pull off a big surprise party for my parent's 30th anniversary!


August:

We made a big announcement:



September:

Leila started preschool!  While the first few times were rough (on both her and I!)  She now looooooves it and looks forward to going!  {This whole Christmas break she's been asking to go back to school!}


October:

We took Leila to "Disney Princesses on Ice" which she absolutely loved!  She also loved her first BART ride!

for Halloween she was a sweet angel:


November:

Tony got a very prestigious award for bravery - we are so proud!!

On Thanksgiving Tony had to work, but we had fun celebrating at my parent's house:


December:

We went to Apple Hill to get our Christmas tree:

and a few days later it snowed!!!

I went to Southern California for the weekend to meet up with some great women, and work on Project 320

and then we had a very Merry Christmas!

2009 was a great year for our family, and I know 2010 will be even better with a sweet, new little girl to love!

Wishing you all the best this year!

You are all so blessed, and you didn't even say anything about Tony & Lella's 'Gap Modeling ads".
It shows that to do good for others (water wells) and the Lord will bless you
