House Hunting

Here are the houses Zach went to go look at. He will be leaving for Texas on Monday the 5th of April. We haven't seen the inside of these houses yet but we are expecting it to be a lot of fixer uppers. Even though I will miss the Central Coast I'm so looking forward to living off our land, by growing an enormous vegetable garden, milking our own goat, raising our own chickens. By leaving California we hope to become more self sufficient and more prepared in the years to come. That means a proper food storage and emergency preparedness. We have come to mistrust the Central Bank which is against our constitutional rights. We have been fooled by those in wall street and the Federal Reserve. This has shown to leave many families in debt unable to get housing. These homes we are looking at are no more then 60,000 so I am excited that in the near future we can slowly but surely create a free market away from the Federal Reserve. Let's not forget the heath-care bill that was just passed that will send America into a tail spin. I'm sorry folks this one is going to break the camel's back.
On a lighter note we will also be able to use the 3 acre land for horses and other live stock I want to get. I can't wait to see Zach's findings. We plan to work to create a way to barter more and help one another more.

Go Pirates!!!

Cancun

Hello everyone and Happy New Year! We are days behind in our blogging so I am going to attempt in getting us caught up.

In December Zach and I went to Mexico and out of the Country for the first time. We had a blast and we celebrated our 7th year Wedding anniversary! Back in May I won this trip to Mexico while working for the Body Shop at home. I had only won one trip for myself and I was suppose to be roomed up with one of my team mates that won a trip as well. As the Body shop at home announced it was closing in April, I wondered what would come of my trip. As the trip approached in May of 2009 and the out breaks of swine flu we decided to wait to book our trip. The Body shop decided to allow any consultant to pick their time of travel between May and December 2009. As it turns out the team members where scattered and thus placing the idea that Zach should come along so I wouldn't be in Mexico for 5 days alone. most of my closer team mates had won a trip for their husbands so going as the odd girl out didn't seem fun. This was an all inclusive paid trip. That means I didn't have to pay for ANYTHING!! We only had to pay for Zach's plane ticket! We enjoyed fine dinners each night and had wonderful lunches and breakfasts. We even ordered room services a lot just because we could. We stayed at the Beach Palace and the service was amazing. Since I speak a little Spanish we got around the area and hotel pretty good. A lot of the people spoke English with a heavy accent so it was a little easier to try to communicate in their language.
I wasn't sure as we arrived to the Resort if Zach would get all inclusive too. To our surprise they slapped on a wrist band for him and we had an amazing time. I will tell you that all inclusive is the way to vacation.
As we were there we seen lots of fun stuff for the whole family to do. We hope to return but next time we would like to stay for a few weeks. We got to go to the Ancient Ruins of Tulum which are old Mayan civilizations. We would of liked to of done more site seeing but we were happy we did see Tulum. It was right on the coast and the views were breath taking. Since I had to be put on antibiotics before the trip due to the worst cold I have ever had. We did not do the scuba diving like we had planned. We still had an awesome time though and got some needed alone time!

Transformer Birthday #2

Since we were headed down south for Thanksgiving we decided to have another Birthday Party with all our family there. It was fun having all the cousins there and some of my second and third cousins came too. Every year I am amazed with how much planning this stuff takes and how quickly it is over!! You will see Thayne finding the cube once again!!!

A year in pictures post #2

So I'm still teaching myself slowing but surely on these blogs. I made a slide show of Keynan's first year but the slide show just posted as a few pictures. So here is my attempt to put up another one. Keynan's first year went by way to quick but we did capture a lot on video and on film and digital camera's. I'm so glad that I take a lot of pics because time sure flies when you are having fun!! You will notice that some of the photo's Keynan is putting anything including a diaper on his head as a hat. He still will find anything to go on his head as a hat and it is so funny.

Disneyland November 22, 2009

Well to top off the Twins 6th B-day. We took them to Disneyland on their actual Birthday! I had not been to Disneyland in 17 years so I was a little excited too. I was so glad we did it because we all had a blast. My Dad also came with us and our cousins Kristie and Sarah met us at the park. Grandma Anderson and Auntie Bridget watched Keynan so we could play all day!

Thanksgiving 2009!

We had a fun day spent with family. As are immediate family has gotten bigger and has spread their wings we only had about 1/3 of us at Jason and Bridget's this year. We still had an awesome dinner and a blast playing battle of the sexes after desert. To my surprise the boys won. I guess I should call them men but boys sound so fitting since us girls lost.lol
