It was The Baja 500. The race was a loop race, that started and ended in Ensanada. Not too sure if Kyle enjoyed the outdoor restrooms, but he still LOVED the idea of eating tacos all weekend!All until he came home with a parasite that lasted over two weeks. Poor kyle.<br />Kristi did another cake. This time it was for a graduation. Kristi decided since the guy played the piano she would do a Grand Piano shaped cake enough to feed 70 people. This one was difficult. But in the end, Kristi managed.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADirz0RsUVLVNIXa_cq_q24Z-8-V3sATHclq0801zvR8qJE0gUgEFRQyHNfCBBTYLExMCheKdnmOo4Po-2mpTa0cP9JOMTUTPXxpXUz2KM-IV3VKp2y-uwZ0rVGALNd22gtum2-IaYOWU/s1600/PainoCake2a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADirz0RsUVLVNIXa_cq_q24Z-8-V3sATHclq0801zvR8qJE0gUgEFRQyHNfCBBTYLExMCheKdnmOo4Po-2mpTa0cP9JOMTUTPXxpXUz2KM-IV3VKp2y-uwZ0rVGALNd22gtum2-IaYOWU/s200/PainoCake2a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490931226968177762" border="0" /></a><br />June 14th was our two year anniversary.We went to a movie that night. Kristi tried to surprise Kyle with dinner at Olives. Kyle wasn't fooled, he knew. Dinner was delicious. The first item sent out was a Lobster Corn Flan, compliments of the Chef Jaime Mendoza. Kyle and Kristi both enjoyed the flan, even though Kristi isn't big on seafood. Next they received two types of pasta, Black Olive Gnocci and Veal with pasta and sauce. Also compliments of the Chef. Kyle and Kristi received another dish compliments of the Chef, Truffled Beef tartar and Tuna tartar. Kyle devoured the Tuna. Kristi sampled a bite of each(raw....sick) but the flavors were delicious. A fourth dish was sent out by the Chef, Mushroom Flat bread(pizza) and Prociutto Fig Flat bread(pizza). Both were really good and to Kristi's surprise she really liked the Prociutto and fig flat bread. Finally we received our meals and a visit From Chef Jaime Mendoza. The Sirloin was to DIE FOR! So GOOD! Just when we thought we were done the Chef also sent out a delicious dessert platter with 3 different sorbets, a Lemon Tartlet, and a Chocolate pudding Triffle. Oh my gosh we were stuffed!!! Thank you Chef Jaime Mendoza!!! We tried to keep the night simple and enjoyable.<br />Kristi Found out that her boss is leaving in August. She is sad to see him go. He is the one of best bosses she will ever have. For nearly a year, Kristi and a coworker have been planning to make a cake for their boss for Canada Day since he is Canadian. Now Canada day is July1st. Kristi made a canadian flag shaped cake. This cake was even more special because of the kind of cake. It was a Maple Walnut cake. All the more fitting for a flag with a maple leaf. Chef Jason Harrison loved it!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0EZE3iZnnPk3x_lQlHgDhlU5WVYf-hU9A8DaboFkGF9uh165xv0iE9Sl9uWaYXs1vttTRqHLOZUaMY8Sd-u2-mEj3cDtdgc5XUiIEtID0iYsci0oFI8-bRZWWdzuO-03ZS1qp2dbvlYxI/s1600/CanadaCake1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0EZE3iZnnPk3x_lQlHgDhlU5WVYf-hU9A8DaboFkGF9uh165xv0iE9Sl9uWaYXs1vttTRqHLOZUaMY8Sd-u2-mEj3cDtdgc5XUiIEtID0iYsci0oFI8-bRZWWdzuO-03ZS1qp2dbvlYxI/s200/CanadaCake1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490932768398421378" border="0" /></a>Kyle's birthday is coming up on July 10th.

Kristi got a second job in December, doing pastries at Eva Longoria Parkers restaurant, Beso. It was rough. Working 5 am to 1pm at Bellagio and then working 4 pm to 12am at Beso... no sleep, times 5 days a week. After a few months, Kristi slowed down to part time at Beso.<br />In January, Kristi did a wedding cake for Briana Desigano.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vDgQPQWr8Gr12j19npO_wKAIpn2mXneT2Xsx1TjYX8l-dd6hOkDW0w32IwdBFOatsAFWPiaBsD8lf0rewypH781tpabd9fgKZll0KU6Hw1gPxUwmcUm0Aq8gI7cXWzA6AJvMCCwnUM_V/s1600/BrianaDCAKE.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vDgQPQWr8Gr12j19npO_wKAIpn2mXneT2Xsx1TjYX8l-dd6hOkDW0w32IwdBFOatsAFWPiaBsD8lf0rewypH781tpabd9fgKZll0KU6Hw1gPxUwmcUm0Aq8gI7cXWzA6AJvMCCwnUM_V/s200/BrianaDCAKE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467900613806571698" border="0" /></a><br />In February, Kyle and Kristi got another dog and named her Mailey. Mailey is a 1yr old Yellow Lab. And guess what.... Mailey went into heat the day she was brought home.... YAY....(not really).<br />Kyle and Kristi managed to go snow boarding in March. It had been way too long since the last trip and they were out of shape and sore. But they had fun.<br />Kyle translated for General Conference in April. Kyle really enjoys it.<br />Now, last night, Kristi made a cake for Bishop Palacios. It was his birthday. This cake might be the best yet. It was a tootsie roll cake. Kristi had so much fun creating this cake and hopes to make more like it.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeft1vM8Buv1-xW6qKR0gRYQQoj8D2jTAJ9Om1X0M5z5KRu5y6rAJ-46A6yDMRSxHx54VJ-TGXq3u0k5NNXivw0oYSRZfh4u5spEMGwU10qP79JPiAdGdkn6SvGWyPl6GH43-4V9oGP206/s1600/Tootsie+roll+cake.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeft1vM8Buv1-xW6qKR0gRYQQoj8D2jTAJ9Om1X0M5z5KRu5y6rAJ-46A6yDMRSxHx54VJ-TGXq3u0k5NNXivw0oYSRZfh4u5spEMGwU10qP79JPiAdGdkn6SvGWyPl6GH43-4V9oGP206/s200/Tootsie+roll+cake.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467906871027641842" border="0" /></a>DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-16374247247214993202009-08-08T12:21:00.000-07:002009-08-08T12:39:42.332-07:00Kristi's First Baby Shower Cake<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNlOLoYi_hfU51ITnTbTgnQ-CgIDQo_05Uq2p5HV9Rq1vscZpx40PJkys8GuZyhNjcjHl2bcjKszDL_7frwEyjuwMcmuEW5Dh7RTlXgODZrCirS9r1NV4d7mUyW65rsm4WiQibYgnADq6/s1600-h/DSC02581.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHNlOLoYi_hfU51ITnTbTgnQ-CgIDQo_05Uq2p5HV9Rq1vscZpx40PJkys8GuZyhNjcjHl2bcjKszDL_7frwEyjuwMcmuEW5Dh7RTlXgODZrCirS9r1NV4d7mUyW65rsm4WiQibYgnADq6/s200/DSC02581.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367678773781073858" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE05jiJl-TM9kSXAf0w8WGaRZukXNXtL0A2M9tJeGsI_hCNvBWicTrDYkzuHX5ux1mfwxPkmM4nrXnNxAXYhj7YStbeU4-VkY-FOwO7WXyWlnuCPnB5Vk-QPxWN9g_nVBNAX7WqR477FW9/s1600-h/DSC02574.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE05jiJl-TM9kSXAf0w8WGaRZukXNXtL0A2M9tJeGsI_hCNvBWicTrDYkzuHX5ux1mfwxPkmM4nrXnNxAXYhj7YStbeU4-VkY-FOwO7WXyWlnuCPnB5Vk-QPxWN9g_nVBNAX7WqR477FW9/s200/DSC02574.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367677679138290850" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAr9V0Qt1-i8asRdnrL7sHQzemHe8TqlIqgr78lLxuMIqK8f4VDHmtVNKJOOOv7MCbTS-QNResG07StUYWZjZbX5Myhxw0HJjGTkyTcS_ihRaYQdshu7hWGicDLdTkzDSVapaYe45TtGPF/s1600-h/DSC02577.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAr9V0Qt1-i8asRdnrL7sHQzemHe8TqlIqgr78lLxuMIqK8f4VDHmtVNKJOOOv7MCbTS-QNResG07StUYWZjZbX5Myhxw0HJjGTkyTcS_ihRaYQdshu7hWGicDLdTkzDSVapaYe45TtGPF/s200/DSC02577.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367678140112615746" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />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.<br />Kristi just loves the bows and ballerina slippers!DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-57841545540942415232009-07-08T18:59:00.000-07:002009-07-08T21:24:18.336-07:00New Car! And a fantastic week in SD!<div style="text-align: center;">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.<br /></div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwAr5ZJGZhwMz72SQztBDWMHJ0pWt5WcT_nMaXjDBYZMU_RPoYl-N8c82IjSPMLh-DZjllr05zCmgdDiCGsZrPiuSqr1FZdK4VV999_qJC7h1M5rPsgZT6BnxdtdlgLRfXS4vg1gjjwoB/s1600-h/DSC02469.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDwAr5ZJGZhwMz72SQztBDWMHJ0pWt5WcT_nMaXjDBYZMU_RPoYl-N8c82IjSPMLh-DZjllr05zCmgdDiCGsZrPiuSqr1FZdK4VV999_qJC7h1M5rPsgZT6BnxdtdlgLRfXS4vg1gjjwoB/s200/DSC02469.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356280231000820226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMVWsP4jV4BZvL3MqkwkVaEycdXNDRXLVKgROTdWs-Mb2ySKVgY503GQNKroXIrF2EK31m2My0yvZE9wRKaNNQmX_96JFHOesXZbDbosS-koLFJDfAyj-cdNNnR3X0ApkDWcJFkX00Yhs/s1600-h/DSC02467.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMVWsP4jV4BZvL3MqkwkVaEycdXNDRXLVKgROTdWs-Mb2ySKVgY503GQNKroXIrF2EK31m2My0yvZE9wRKaNNQmX_96JFHOesXZbDbosS-koLFJDfAyj-cdNNnR3X0ApkDWcJFkX00Yhs/s200/DSC02467.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356280240052288786" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">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!<br /><br />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!!!<br /></div>DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-50957380453410930642009-05-21T00:42:00.000-07:002009-05-21T17:23:34.021-07:00Butter.

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.<br /><br />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.<br /> <br />Kyle has finished his intermediate internship with Medic West. School is going pretty well for<div style="text-align: left;"> </div>Kyle and can hardly wait until tomorrow ends.

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!DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-33593205036061408962009-02-24T11:36:00.000-08:002009-02-24T21:18:52.397-08:00Kyle's yard!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v650/123/84/1566330156/n1566330156_1531170_4994.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 604px; height: 453px;" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v650/123/84/1566330156/n1566330156_1531170_4994.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />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! hahaDaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-38250618044043609802009-02-22T16:55:00.000-08:002009-02-22T17:03:50.332-08:00The new, new ward chorister..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.academicapparel.com/choir/images/choir_director.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 410px;" src="http://www.academicapparel.com/choir/images/choir_director.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />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!DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-14652627221383806702009-02-18T11:45:00.001-08:002009-02-24T21:15:03.585-08:00Our new dog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n0qWheAf_Zw/SZxkmQC7S5I/AAAAAAAAAAw/LUcJ9xx7e_c/s1600-h/Zoie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n0qWheAf_Zw/SZxkmQC7S5I/AAAAAAAAAAw/LUcJ9xx7e_c/s320/Zoie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304225069440650130" border="0" /></a><br />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!DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-67191274653368046132009-02-10T22:42:00.000-08:002009-02-10T22:54:44.863-08:00Not 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.DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837233367835482485.post-52381307195017675112009-02-10T17:46:00.000-08:002009-02-10T21:57:04.781-08:00Giving into the pressure<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR6Y1BBZeoQ54r9Mx8rHThp9KDC4rQ1X0nnXzhlcXmFAtN_q8UZHUBD1d1NfsD9qXN-OL-bW_GYT_jK9hgvrsMZ3MYa2ASRT3FmtJdYRe_qpyG8NpEJbcAo_xkLKZvWBOg8CPeW6Ich2l7/s1600-h/_MG_3600+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR6Y1BBZeoQ54r9Mx8rHThp9KDC4rQ1X0nnXzhlcXmFAtN_q8UZHUBD1d1NfsD9qXN-OL-bW_GYT_jK9hgvrsMZ3MYa2ASRT3FmtJdYRe_qpyG8NpEJbcAo_xkLKZvWBOg8CPeW6Ich2l7/s320/_MG_3600+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301357632186598370" border="0" /></a><br />Ok. So here it is... We are finally starting a blog.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6kBYOJtCaswBZSRGAq9KMPFIdkDCxJN4wRGSFI8LZelUjqQfV2eEd0NhXDqooEBnKKJ1iCuIiJ3MgPnQU6pcDLDruvUayoSwL9BCYv4DimseK6lEZn80on-h-Irf-XiabSlMkM53Q2Zdb/s1600-h/Zoie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6kBYOJtCaswBZSRGAq9KMPFIdkDCxJN4wRGSFI8LZelUjqQfV2eEd0NhXDqooEBnKKJ1iCuIiJ3MgPnQU6pcDLDruvUayoSwL9BCYv4DimseK6lEZn80on-h-Irf-XiabSlMkM53Q2Zdb/s200/Zoie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301369268716559266" border="0" /></a><br />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.DaWongshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732762810635840632noreply@blogger.com2
