Christmas

Some where in the last few days I found some motivation! We have put up and decorated a tree and put a few lights outside. Can't wait until the lights go on sale after Christmas so we can actually have lights on the whole house! Tyler is very weird about buying lights at full price! lol
I have got a little bit of my shopping done. At least now if Christmas comes and I dont get any more shopping done Ronnee will have some gifts to open!
I have done my Christmas Goody plates for all my neighbors!
I Wrote a Christmas Letter...

2011 has been a good year for this Ortiz family! Tyler has been busy at work and still loves his jobs most days. He is very good at it and loves his team. At one point this year he was ranked number 7 in the company for sales which is pretty awesome since he had only been working there for 3 years! His company took a big hit by losing one of their biggest accounts so his team has suffered but Tyler has taken it and is using it as motivation to work that much harder! He is a great provider for our family and when he isn’t working he is very dedicated to working out! I wish some of that would rub of on me but I admire his OCD about going to the gym! He also enjoys fishing and goes as often as he can! I am glad he has a hobby to get his energetic self out of the house! I cant wait for Ronnee to be old enough to join him on his trips to the river!
I myself am doing pretty good! I am pregnant with our 2nd child due March 31st. This pregnancy has been quite a bit different then my first but we are surviving! We are not finding out again and it drives some crazy but Tyler gets a kick out of not knowing so I go along! This year I have gotten to go to AZ quite a bit. I went for the month of July and we had so much fun and kept busy with Mickey getting married! When I am not taking trips I keep myself busy with projects around the house. It is nice to have good friends that help me get into crafts and keep me busy! Ronnee keeps me busy also; she is full of energy and has me on the go most of the time. She loves going for walks and making messes!
Ronnee turned the big 2 this year and has grown up so much! She is such a joy and I can’t imagine what I would do without her. She is a lot like her father and never stops going! She talks a lot which makes her that much more bossy! We took on the task of potty training shortly after her 2nd birthday and it has been a challenge but I knew she was smart enough and ready! She is a smart little cookie and loves to do things for peoples reactions! She is a big tease and always up to something! She loves all animals so she had a blast when we went to AZ. She loves loves loves horses and dogs! When it was nice outside she would spend all day outside with her dogs. They are so good with her and she would live with them in their kennel if we would let her. Winter is hard on her because she hates jackets so she has to be trapped inside watching her dogs from the window! Let’s hope this winter flies by for the both of us!

We have had such a fun and blessed year! Thank you so much to all of you for helping us with that! Not sure what we would do without good friends and awesome families!

Love, The Tyler Ortiz Family!

And took a picture to go along with it...
Now I just need to find a little more motivation to get them in envelopes and sent out! I hope to have them done today so then I can just focus on getting a few more gifts and then relax until we leave to AZ!!
