Christmas Letter 2014

Ortiz Family 2014

We have had a fun year as usual filled with some ups and down!
This year has been a great year because we sold our house in Reno and can now start thinkng about buying a house here in ABQ and making this a home!  It started out a little rough because our renters bailed on us and left us with a mess! Thank heavens for great friends who sacrificed their time  and energy to clean up my house and get it ready to sell! What a blessing Jen and Pam are!  After all their hard work the house got sold and we dont have to worry about that stress anymore! So now we can think about getting a house here in ABQ
Tyler has been working a lot and still loves his job! He is so good at what he does and enjoys doing what he is doing!  Not only does he do a great job at supporting us he also is an amazing dad! When he leaves for work in the morning the kids tell him to take a tiny piece and bring them home a prize! He loves those little voices! And when he has to do overnights they cry for him to hurry!  Tyler is also the best husband! I can't remember the last time I did dishes! He has taken that chore as his own and I never have to worry about it! He also keep the yard looking nice and rarely do you find dog poop in the yard!  Those dogs are so loved by not only Tyler but the kids! I am grateful for the dogs myself because they keep the kids and Tyler entertained!
I am busy keeping the kids happy and the house in okay shape! I wish I could keep it really clean but with the 2 cute kids helping me mess it up it is impossible! Also good news... I AM PREGNANT and due at the end of May!  So that is another reason that my energy is low and my house is a mess!  But guess what we have 2 happy healthy kids and that is what is important!
Ronnee is 5 and is a sweetheart that acts like a horse most days!  She is a chatterbox and is way to smart for her own good! She knows how to work people and make them feel like a million bucks!  Grandma Evie came to visit  us one weekend and Ronnee ran up to her and gave her the best hug and then stepped back and said "who are you?"  haha Grandma Evie felt so loved even though she acted as if she didn't know her after that! She is a sweet big sister even when her brother is being a brother! She loves loves loves her dogs and would be outside with them all day if she could!  What a blesssing she is to our home!
Cutler is 2, need I say more. Jk  He is a sweet 2 year old which makes me nervous for 3. He is a mama's boy and it not really a people person so keeps to himself. He is really good at enteraining himself and keeping busy!  When he and Lavinia get together that is when the trouble happens! They love eachother and know that it is hard to get to mad at their sweet faces! He is an amazing talker and has the cutest raspy voice! People always think he is older then he is because he potty trained at 2 and talks like he is 4!   Not sure what we would do with house this little man of ours!

God has really blessed us and we are forever grateful!  We look forward to another amazing year!
