The Gutierrez Residence

Here are some pictures of our new home.. We live on the right..

We've been trying to get our lawn green. The first night we moved in we turned the sprinklers on, around nine at night, and then they wouldn't turn off. We turned the knobs at least one thousand times hoping they were just sticky from the house sitting a year without being used, but no luck. It wasn't until one of the sprinklers popped, and we had a geyser on our hands that we decided we needed some help. We woke up half the neighborhood until finally someone had a tool to turn the main power off. It was a nice way to meet the neighbors. We've had to use a hose since, so getting it green has taken a while.


We are still trying to decide where to hang up all of the pictures. I just printed some of the wedding pictures today. Didn't Morgan do such a good job?! I wanted to print them all and put them in frames, but I don't want to look too conceited when friends come to visit, and all I have around the house are pictures of myself. Instead, I am scrapbooking..
 Half bath

 The front door and hallway.

 Our laundry room. I love that it's spacious and has a utility sink, I have yet to use it though.

 The pantry.. I don't know how to put the pictures in order..

 Master bathroom

 We love the big jetted tub..
 Guest bedroom, which we can't wait for someone to come stay with us!
You can make a reservation 24 hours a day.

Mexican Christmas Cocktail


Aldo and I made a delicious Shrimp cocktail this week to get the holiday season started.

We had to make separate dishes so that Aldo could add more seafood and jalapenos.




It was tasty, we're thinking of making it for Christmas. Can't wait to see you all! (Yay for me, I had time to do a blog ;)

Number Two...If you know what I mean

I've really needed a new winter coat for a while, so of course I turned to online shopping. Macy's had a great selection. The one I chose was by far the cutest. Can't wait until it gets here..


No Muppets were harmed...

Waiting..

My crafting days are here again. I'm now stocked up on fabric and supplies after Pat's Thanksgiving sale.


I've decked my halls for Christmas. My Mom gave me all of my special ornaments that I was given as a little girl from Grandma Jorgensen to hang on my tree this year.



I also put out a few of my nativity scenes, these are only half of them, needless to say I love them.





I also love my Christmas blocks that Morgan and Whitney each made me. Aren't they the cutest you've seen?




I finally finished the binding on the quilt. I think it only took me nine hours in all. Thank you to those that helped and all of the encouragement. It actually went faster than other projects. I was trying to hand sew through all of the layers, thank goodness my Mom was there to show me how to really do it.

I can't even explain these... hehe




Dad and Tennyson being trampled by Jonas at a pretend Black Friday shopping trip..

Blasphemy


Out Talent Show was a success, although it did turn into an all out brawl..
