Gallegos Family

A Decade Of Fun

2009-02-08T08:30:00.000-08:00

On January 25, 1999 a little girl named Kaeleigh Marie Gallegos entered this world weighing 5 pounds 10 oz and 19.5 inches long. Two weeks ago we celebrated 10 years with our little "Laleybug". I can't believe where the time has gone. It just seems like yesterday that we had this tiny little baby in our hands and now we have a young preteen on our hands.

Some of the memories that I have of Kaeleigh was that when she was little instead of scooting on her tummy she would scoot on her back and do the little inch worm thing. It was so funny. Her first real word besides maya and dadya was her Uncle Bryce's name. Everything she said for a while she would put ya at the end of it. One of the words that she put ya at the end was bye ya, maya, dadya, and whenever you called her name what ya.

She has always been a little mother and still is. She was always helping out with the younger kids even though she was not that much older than them. She is still this way today. She loves to hold the babies and helps me out with Saydee when I ask her. She is almost at the age when she can start babysiting other peoples kids.

She loved her baby dolls a lot. She didn't care for barbie dolls just baby dolls. She wanted to take those where ever she went they came with her. She used to take all the clothes off of the dolls and then want me to put the clothes back on the dolls. She loved the stroller that she had for her doll and would push her doll everywhere she went. She loved to put them to bed and have me wrap up her babies in blankets. The baby had to be wrapped the same way that I would wrap her sister Saydee. She even tried to nurse her babies.

One of the memories that I have of Kaeleigh is when she was little I had a canker sore. She cried because she wanted one also. She used to also lay down by me and say "tickle, tickle, tickle" in a little whisper.

Kaeleigh we love you and are glad that you are a part of our family. You have brought a lot of joy and happiness into our lives. May all your wishes come true in the coming year.

Christmas Eve

2009-01-10T06:38:00.000-08:00

I know it is a little late getting this up. Every Christmas Eve we go to Anthony's dads house and have dinner. We always have tamales with chili verde. Deanna(Anthony's step mom) makes the best chili verde. After dinner we open up our gifts from them. They have so much fun. Anthony and I both got money from them. The older two girls got a Hannah Montana purse with money.

Christams on the 23rd

2009-01-07T17:35:00.000-08:00

The cousins had so much fun they didn't want to leave.

L-R Alicia, Ashlynne, Brooklynn, and Kaeleigh

Kaeleigh and her cousin Lydia

Every year on the 23rd of December Anthony's mom does her Christmas party. So we get together with his mom's family and his step dad's family.

We have dinner and visit. Then later Santa Clause comes and gives the kids presents. This year Kaeleigh got a necklace and bracelet, Ashlynne got Tinker Bell earings, and Saydee got some play makeup.

Here are some pictures of that night.

Ashlynne Turns 9

Ashlynne turned nine on December 20th. She was our little suprise baby. As you know her and Kaeleigh our 5 days short of 11 months apart. Many things that we love about Ashlynne is that she is very helpful, loves to help out, and loves to get her sisters and play games with them.

We love you Ashlynne and our looking to many more birthdays to celebrate with you. Here are some pictures of her when she was little also.

Ashlynne gets Top Dog at school

2008-11-30T23:04:00.000-08:00

So Ashlynne got Top Dog at her school. Top Dog is when the student excells in things in the classroom. It is a quartley thing that the school does. She got to eat breakfast at the school with their family, and the principal says a few things. Saydee was sick so I told her she could choose her dad or I since Saydee would not be able to go. So she decided to take her dad.

We are so proud of Ashlynne and her accomplishment. Keep up the good work Ashlynne.

Days Of 47 Parade

2008-07-20T21:44:00.000-07:00

This is about as good as it gets with Ashlynne.

Our Stake was in the days of 47 parade this year. The girls had a lot of fun marching in the parade. After the parade we went around and saw all of the different booths. I don't have a lot of pictures of Saydee in the pictures. She was scared of all of the characters that were there. I bareley got a picture of her with Smokey The Bear.

Again Saydee was having nothing to do with this.

As we were leaving the blaze dog got on his

Take A Stroll...

2008-07-16T16:20:00.000-07:00

I saw this on my cousin's blog and decided it would be fun to do.

Here are the directions

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have together. It doesn't matter if you know me a lot anything you remember...

2. Next, re post these directions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool(and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave a memory for you.

Jesus' House

2008-07-14T12:10:00.000-07:00

Last night we were watching tv about Moses. While Saydee was sitting there she told me she wanted to go to Jesus' house. I told her if she went then I wouldn't be able to see her anymore. She then said she wanted Jesus to come to our house. Later that night she said Oh I wish he had a sister. I asked her who? She of course told me Jesus. When I asked her why she told me so I could play with her.

Waiting For Daddy

2008-07-11T08:51:00.000-07:00

Waiting for Daddy

Last night Saydee was waiting for her Daddy to open our bedroom door. While she was waiting this is what we came across. Kaeleigh went and got the camera and took a picture of her sleeping. She fell asleep in front of our bedroom door.

I couldn't wait any longer

Future Models

2008-07-09T09:15:00.000-07:00

The other day my cousin Lexie came over. Lexie had Kaeleigh and Ashlynne dress up as if they were modeling. She then took some pictures of them. I think she did a pretty good job for being only 14.

Happy 4th of July

2008-07-08T15:23:00.000-07:00

Saydee, Kaeleigh, and Ashlynne

Well our family went to my parents house to have dinner and do the fireworks. On the way to my parent's house Kaeleigh got a phone call to see if she wanted to go and see Stadium Of Fire with her friend. Of course she didn't turn that down since Miley Cyrus was going to be there. So before she left I made sure I got some pictures of the girls.

Saydee got into the charcol with another child just before dinner.

Pioneer Fun

2008-06-14T18:26:00.000-07:00

Today Anthony and I took the girls to Gardner Village. While we were there the girls learned how to spin wool into clothes, make corn husk dolls, and how to make rugs with the loom. Kaeleigh and Ashlynne really liked it a lot. They caught on really quick and were helping to make some rugs. We also learned that they could make hot pads out of this also. Saydee was too tired that she really didn't care to anything. So here is a picture of her laying on her dads' shoulders.

Kaeleigh and her best friend Kenzi

Kaeleigh had one of her best friends stay the night last night. They were so giggly and silly last night that I decided to take some pictures of her and her friend. As you can see they decided to be twins also. They both had the same pair of pj's and then came out and said,"surprise" to me. They looked so cute. Here are some pictures of them in their twin pj's.

Andrea and Jordan's Wedding Reception

2008-05-24T10:34:00.000-07:00

Jordan and Andrea

Last night our family went to a wedding reception for a girl that I used to babysit for. She looked so pretty and he looked really handsome. Jordan's mom is so sweet. I met her in the temple and she was so sweet

I had a lot of fun being able to see them. Their oldest sister Kristy has a daughter Kailey that is only one year older than my Kaeleigh. She is so cute. She looks like her mom. Kailey has three brothers that are really cute also.

Melanie another sister has one little boy named Joshua. He is such a cutie. He has the biggest brown eyes.

Jared has one little boy that is 8 months old I think. He is really cute. I didn't get to visit with them much.

Melissa is another sibling and Saydee asked her where her kids were. She told her she doesn't have any. Saydee then asked her why. I told her because she isn't married. She asked Saydee if she would help her find a guy. Saydee told her no.

Well here are some pictures of the wedding. I hope you enjoy them.

Kaeleigh's Field Trip

2008-05-23T14:50:00.000-07:00

Kaeleigh pointing out to Salt Lake City on the map

Yesterday I went on a Field Trip with Kaeleigh to the Clark Planetarium with her 3rd grade class. It is really cool inside. It shows a moon, planets, real rocks from Mars, a place where they can act like they are on the news showing the weather, and how stars are formed. It was a really interesting place.

We saw a 3d movie that was called Sea Monsters. In this movie they showed Dinosaurs that lived in the Ocean, and how they found their bones. It was really interesting. I have never seen a 3d movie so It was really neat. You felt as if you were in it.

So anyway here are some pictures of Kaeleigh and some of her friends at the Clark Planetarium.

Ashlynne learns to cook

2008-05-23T02:32:00.000-07:00

The other night I asked Ashlynne to help me cook dinner. I told her I wanted her to learn so that she would know how when she got older. She basically told me she didn't want to learn. I then asked her what she would do once she was out of the house? Who would cook for her? Her response was that she would go out to eat. I then told her well after all of your money is gone from eating out then what will you do? She then told me she would go to her neighbors house to eat. What a nut! Needless to say I got her to help me cook. So here are some pictures of her helping with dinner.

New Beds

2008-05-17T14:26:00.000-07:00

Ashlynne and Saydee got new bunk beds, and Saydee wanted to help her daddy put them together. She was so excited and cute. Here are a few pics of her helping Anthony put the bed together.

Car Wash

2008-05-16T22:07:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we had my sister Natasha and her family over for dinner, while we were waiting for dinner to finish cooking the kids decided that they were going to help and wash Uncle Sean's car for him. They had so much fun and then Saydee decided that her car needed to be washed as well. Needless to say Uncle Sean was quite happy seeing as how his car was really dirty and needed a bath. Here are a few pics of the kids washing the car.
Look at all the fun they were having
I told you it needed a bath
What a nut
Saydee was trying to get Keara and everyone else wet. She thought it was fun.

Our Little Beautician

2008-04-30T19:45:00.000-07:00

Well in case you haven't heard we have a new beautician in the house. Her name is Saydee and she is 4 years old.

I had all the scissors put up but I guess their was one pair that wasn't and she decided to cut her hair. She had cut it before with nail scissors and we had to cut it pretty short. Well this time she looks like she is going through chemo. In fact one person at church asked me if my daughter was ok if she was going through chemo or something. I told him no she just cut her hair.

Kaeleigh is getting excited to go on a field trip next month. They are going to the Clark Planetarium. I am going to try to go with her. She really likes her teachers and so do I. She has two teachers. One who teaches in the morning and the other one that teaches in the afternoon. She has one of her good friends in her class. Every time I see her friend she calls me a big nut since I started calling her a little nut.

Ashlynne is loving 2nd grade. She likes her teacher and is trying to earn enough bear bucks to get the pet fish in the classroom. For those of you who don't know what bear bucks are they are little pieces of paper that look like monopoly money. They have a little bear on it. They can save their points and get things at the end of the year. They have to pay bear bucks to go to the restroom, get a pencil from the teacher and things like that. So she is hoping to have enough to get the fish.

Saydee as you know is the baby of the family. I told her I had to vacuum the floor because it was dirty. I told her the dirt was the vacuum's food. She then told me the vacuum had to brush it's teeth. I just laughed. She says the funniest things to me.

Saydee as a Princess

2008-01-03T16:56:00.001-08:00

The other day Saydee told her daddy that she was a princess and that he was her maid. We both just started laughing so hard. She is such a character. She is a lot more work than the other two were at her age. She loves her cheerleader doll that she got for Christmas along with her doll that crys. We all get sick of hearing the dolls but she loves them so that is all that matters. She will start sunbeams on Sunday and his getting excited to be able to go to primary. She cried when her sisters went up to go and sing and she couldn't go up.

Kaeleigh is now in 3rd grade and loves it. There are 3 Kaeleigh's in her class. All spelt different. So she has to go by Kaeleigh G. She is one of the tallest in her class. She keeps seeing every day if she is as tall as me. She is almost there. She will be taller than me or as tall as me when she is in the 4th grade. She aleady wears the same size shoe as me.

Ashlynne is now eight and in the 2nd grade. She loves her teacher and is a miss social butterfly. Her teacher told us that if she would listen in class maybe she would know what was going on. She is getting excited to get baptized in Febuary. She could be baptized in January, but we decided to wait until Febuary.

We hope that you all have a happy new year and we will keep you posted on our lives.
