Opening Halloween Package from Donna!

Today the ninas got a Halloween package from Donna, on Sienna Court. They were so excited to open the package. I recorded them (and Maho, too). I wish I'd have done this with every fun little package they got from Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and friends. I'm working on it!

Laurel's winning 6th grade Student Council Speech

Today Laurel performed a one-minute speech in her 6th grade class, encouraging her classmates to vote her to student council. Each class voted one boy and one girl to student council. In Laurel's class, there were 4 boys running, and 8 girls (Laurel being one of them)! Last night Maho and I helped Laurel put together a clever little presentation. Today we were praying that it would go well, and that she would be able to deliver her speech smoothly.

When I pulled up to the school, the girls piled into the car. I saw Laurel's face, and I knew--just by her giant happy grin--that she was voted to the student council! Maho and I are so proud of her. So when she got home, I made her do it again so I could record her and post it on my blog! Turn your volume up all the way so you can hear her!

The voice of the puppet-reporter is mine on an MP3 player that Laurel put inside the sock on her arm!

Virtual Tour of San Diego Home

Our San Diego Home was listed on the MLS yesterday! Many of our friends and family have never seen our home, so I'm posting the link to our virtual tour. It made me want to buy this house all over again. I wish we could take it with us to Utah. But, you can't take it with you......

Be sure to turn on the sound so you don't miss the lovely elevator music! We are mostly packed and ready for our move. Some friends from our ward are coming to help pack the kitchen in the morning. The moving truck comes tomorrow, but we will be loading Tuesday. We will have lots of help from the ward on that, too. Then we head out on Wednesday, arriving in Cedar Hills on Thursday. We have quite a few festivities before our departure, though, and have already had some. I will post photos later. Too late right now! Must have sleep!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Sanchez Family Blogspot! I am very new at this, but thanks to my sister-in-law Diana, at least I have a blogspot started, and I will try to keep it updated. In fact, I need to update already because this photo was taken back in November last year by our friend, Fred Leavitt. We will be moving soon to Utah. Hey! I'll post some photos of our new place!
