Kristi's First Baby Shower Cake

Well this cake was a small struggle for Kristi. Very time consuming but BEAUTIFUL. Kristi cried this morning when she came to find out that the back part of the small cake fell off! She was in a panic. Quick thinking and lots of icing saved the day. Kristi is very proud of her work, considering she was never taught to work with fondant. Hopefully She can take a class to get some better techniques.
Kristi just loves the bows and ballerina slippers!

New Car! And a fantastic week in SD!

Well Kyle and Kristi have wanted to buy a new car that gets better gas mileage so that they can visit family more. It finally happened!!! Kyle sold his XTerra and nearly a week later, drove home in a '09 Ford Focus SEL. It has bluetooth built in and the microsoft sync. Kyle and Kristi absolutely love it! :) It was purchased on Tuesday June 23rd. By Friday morning it had its first dent and scratch! A lovely neighbor at the end of the street came home intoxicated and drove through the front yard, broke two pots and sent debris flying everywhere. A piece of the pot flew up and hit the car. The guy drove out of the yard in time to miss hitting the car. Thank goodness!The funny part is, he had no clue he had done anything wrong until the cop knocked on his door that morning. Not to worry his insurance is taking care of it all.

Saturday the 27th Kyle and Kristi flew out to San Diego for a week. Everyone was there. :) Monday Kyle, Kristi, Justin and Kristi all went L.A. to get on the Price is Right show. It was a blast. Too bad no one made it on stage. Tuesday we went to the Del Mar Fair, Wednesday night we had TJ Tacos(yum!), Thursday The Leedoms Flew in and we went to the beach. Friday the Leedoms and the Wongs went to Knotts Soak City then to eat TJ Tacos! On the Saturdayt the 4th, we went to Sea World to enjoy the shows and watch the fireworks. It was way fun. The trip was over too fast:( , but it was fun!

Finally Kyle and Kristi bought a doggy door for Zoie. She is still scared of it a little, but she is getting the hang of it. Today we bought her a kiddy pool. She likes it! but now we have to block the doggy door if she is wet...lol. Zoie weighs over 30 pounds and is over 4 feet long when she stretches out. She is so BIG!!!

Butter. LOL!

Alright!!! So just before mothers day Kyle and Kristi decided to use a little of their rebate/loan to buy new couches and a t.v. for the house. They went to RC Willey, picked out a sectional and got hooked up on a 65" flat screen t.v. It is a regular projection t.v. but is still pretty sweet!!! Here are some pictures of the new additions to the home.

Well last night while sitting on the new sectional, watching t.v., Zoie decides that she is still hungry. So Zoie jumps up, with her front paws hanging on the counter, and begins licking the butter plate we left on the counter after dinner. Kristi just couldn't help but laugh while Kyle said it wasn't funny. Here is the stick of butter last night. Ha ha. It was a new stick of butter!

Well today, after Kyle and Kristi ran some earrands they came home to let Zoie out. About 15 minutes later they realize that Zoie has once again reached for the butter! Now Kristi is busting up laughing again, while Kyle isn't. this time there isn't much butter left. Ha ha! Oh well!

Its been a while...

Well not too much has happened since the last blog.( ok... yeah right) Kyle and Kristi bought a Taurus 9mm for protection at the beginning of April.

Kyle interpreted for General Conference. He took Kristi and his two sisters Lani and Lori. It was fun seeing and meeting all of Kyle's mission buddies. Kyle had a great time interpreting and serving the Lord.

The month of April was pretty busy. The second weekend in April, Kyle's mission buddy E. Linsley came to visit with his girlfriend Jalene. Matt and Valerie also came with six of their friends and did the tourist thing. The same weekend we also enjoyed having Tara, Rolando, and the kids over for Easter dinner. Then Next weekend Kristi's friend Roxana was married. Both Kyle and Kristi were part of the bridal party. Mom and Mark came to spend the weekend and to attend the wedding. The fourth weekend of April Some more of Kyle's mission buddies came with their wives, E. brown and E. Julian.

Kyle has finished his intermediate internship with Medic West. School is going pretty well for

Kyle and can hardly wait until tomorrow ends. Finals TOMORROW.

Zoie is growing so big!!! She is learning her tricks and is pretty well potty trained. We are hoping to teach her to ring a bell for us to open the door... its been about 4 days and no luck yet. Ha ha.

Kristi has had a lot of things to do outside of work. In

March, the Relief Society President asked Kristi to make a big birthday cake for the R.S. Birthday dinner. It turned out great!

Just this past weekend the R.S. President asked Kristi to make a birthday cake For Bishop Palacios. She said That he loves chocolate. Kristi had a lot of fun

with it!

Oh yeah Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Kyle's first code...

So Kyle worked the NASCAR races this weekend and yesterday he had his very first code! A code is basically when a person is pretty much dead...This guy was out! He was laid out on the curb and not breathing. They had people all over this guy trying to start IV's, breathing for him, starting to put a tube down his throat, and Kyle was doing chest compressions! This was his first time doing real life chest compressions!! It was pretty awesome! So finally they got this guy in the back of the ambulance and start on their way to the hospital. All the sudden, they realize he starts getting some color back and his jaw locks up on Kyle! Next thing they know, he freaking wakes up and starts yelling at them! By the time they got to the hospital, he knew everything that was going on, and was talking to them! It was pretty funny because when he asked them what was going on, they told him that they pretty much brought him back to life, he said "Thanks, you did a good job!" haha It was pretty cool! He was a really nice guy, and really lucky that he made it! The other paramedics that Kyle was with said that they had only seen that happen a couple of times between the three of them! It was so crazy to see that happen on Kyle's very first code patient!

Kyle's yard!

So for the past week or so, Kyle has been working his butt off! We wanted to put grass on the side of the house so that the dog can have a place to play and to add a little more excitement than just rocks! Today Kyle finally got the sod down and almost finished! He just needs to add the cobblestone border. He now has empathy for all of those landscapers that work all day long! And, now Kyle understands why they're always sleeping in their trucks while driving to their next job! haha Anyways, lets just hope that the dog doesn't eat the grass. She was licking the soil when Kyle layed it down, and she kept trying to pull up the patches of sod! Dumb dog! haha

The new, new ward chorister..

So about a month ago, Kyle got called, of all callings, to be the ward chorister! Can you believe it? The ward always had a bunch of substitute choristers because the main one was gone a lot, so the called Kyle to be the full time chorister in hopes that he will "bring some excitement to the ward," as the counselor in the bishopric said. So anyways, the first couple weeks were a disaster! Now he's kind of got the hang of it and doesn't mind looking like a fool anymore. Today, before sacrament, Kyle ran outside to try and get some conference tickets from the guy that was in charge of them for the stake. Well the sacrament meeting started and Kyle was still outside. So Kristi, being the amazing wife that she is, stepped up and started leading the music! She did a great job and looked like a natural. So Kyle thinks that Kristi should be the new ward chorister since she's a lot prettier than he is! It was a good sacrifice for some conference tickets though!

Our new dog

A couple of weeks ago, we got a dog from the pound. She's a shepherd possibly mixed with a blue heeler. She was 3 months old when we got her. Kristi named her Zoey....or Zoie as she spells it. She's a really cute dog, but can be a pain in the neck sometimes. She loves to be around us no matter where we are. She sleeps on her back with her legs in there air! (Kristi does that too!) She is pretty hyper, or so we thought. Whenever she's around Lori's dog, Mandy, she's is always running around and jumping all over Mandy. So we figured that she would do good with Justin and Kristi's dog Daisy when we went down to Arizona for Brody's blessing and Andrew's birthday party. What a wuss! Zoie kept getting trampled and ran over left and right! She finally started yelping and crying for us to get our out of there! The worst part is, Justin and Kristi have a new puppy, smaller than Zoie, and that dog would trample Zoie too! So our dog is a wimp basically. Pretty lame! So WE guess having a dog instead of a gun isn't a very good idea since Zoie isn't very protective! haha We guess We'll have to get a gun for protection now! Our lives have been filled with carpet cleaner and rags ever since we got Zoie, but she's a good dog...sometimes! If nothing else, she's a good form of birth control for now!

Not just one, but two!

So here is a funny story. Clarissa Judy has been asking us for months to start a blog. So it was fresh in our minds when we returned from Arizona. Tonight, Kristi was at home and Kyle was at work, Kristi decided to make a blog : DaWongs. She was excited to tell Kyle. When she did, she came to find out that Kyle made one the previous day. So take your pick! LOL! THANK YOU CLARISSA! You got your choice of two blogs! Oh man. How hilarious.

Giving into the pressure

Ok. So here it is... We are finally starting a blog.

Kyle and Kristi met January 15th 2007 at F.H.E. which was speed dating. Kyle proposed January 23rd 2008. A short time later, were married on June 14th, 2008 in The San Diego, California Temple.

We bought a beautiful home in Las Vegas, Nevada in July. Our home is two stories and has three bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and we were lucky enough to get a home with a large backyard. Our home was a model home for KB Homes. It came with all major kitchen appliances, which are energy efficient. But according to Kyle the biggest selling point is the awesome barbecue in the backyard.


It is now nearly eight months into our marriage and things are going great. We recently got a puppy. Her name is Zoie. She is a Shepherd mix and is about 4 months old. Although potty training and getting her to obey is trying, we cant help but laugh as she runs laps around the house and goes crazy over ice cubes.
