Only 4 Months Later!

Lets see where to begin....

Well School is back in Session~ Which I love. I love that our house has a Schedule. It is quite after 8:30 and Mark and I can just relax.

We didn't do a whole lot this summer. we went on a few camping trips. 4th of July we spent at Pleasant Valley days ( http://www.pleasantvalleydays.com/) With our friends the Blackhams and the Davenports. It was lots of fun in the sun. They have a super fun, very small parade. Boutique in the park, talent show, and much more!

We also went to Flaming George with Marks Family for there Family reunion. It was 5 days of fun, fishing, and games. We bought a New to us Pontoon boat. It needs some work but it takes alot of people. We went cliff jumping. I stayed on the boat to keep it safe! We river rafted the Green River. I should find some pictures of this. Marks Brother Dennis had a 5 gallon bucket that when he threw it at you full of water it was almost enough to drown you. But It was still lots of fun.








We also Booked Our First Family Cruise to the Caribbean!! We can't wait we leave the say before Halloween and get to spend 6 days on a Huge Carnival cruise ship!! more to come on that!


well here is a little update about us!

WOW I am a Slacker!

I was doing pretty good there for a min...Then Life got busy and I forgot about my blog!
Today is Mothers Day~ I am sitting at home and planning on doing nothing at all today! Mark is gone with the Army for the next 20 Day (but who's counting..) It's kinda weird that he is not here. I did go visit his Mom and I took my Mom to Lunch/Dinner. I figured Since it was mothers Day neither one of us should have to cook or Clean up the mess. Now I am watching movies with the kids! Enjoying Mothers Day!~
I Will try to do better with this blog~ But I cant say for sure I will do it, I will be a single Mom all month.

Day 10 – A photo of your favorite place to eat.

I love CAFE RIO!! It is so good! I think I could eat there almost every Day. I just wish that Mark enjoyed it as much as me!

Day 9 – A photo of the item you last purchased

The last great thing I purchased was some White Crocs.
I work at the Temple and we have to have white shoes, Well I bought some cheap white shoes that have worked all right. But after I where them for more than 1 night in a row they are not that great. Since I had a coupon to DSW shoes for $20 off, so I found these shoes! I haven't worn them yet so I will have to update and see how it goes.

Day 8 – A song to match your mood

The only song the matches my mood right now is a good night song! I am ready to go to bed.. But I did have a good weekend. We are trying to go to every Temple this year and Saturday we went to the Ogden temple. The Ogden Temple is going to close in April while they rebuild it. It was really cool to go inside and do some Sealings for people who have passed on! We went with our Friends Luke and Katrina Ashton. Can't wait to go on our next Temple Outing.

Day 7 Your dream wedding.

Your dream wedding.

I don't want to think about a Dream Wedding it sounds like a lot of work! I am just glad that I have been Married to my Best friend for almost 12 years!

Day 6

Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.
For this post I asked my kids what animal they would want for a pet! Of Course Jordan said a dolphin and Tanner first said a Ware wolf. When I told him that a ware wolf was not a pet he picked a little Monkey! Good thing we can't really have these pets or we would need a big pool in the back yard and a few trees!

Day 5

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.

This may have been over 2 years ago!
These are my 5 brothers! Justin, Craig, Brian, Eric and Matt!
Sometimes my brothers make me Crazy, but I still Love them and Glad that I get to be there favorite Sister!
one of my favorite quotes is: I smile because you are my brother, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!!

Day 4 –

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.
Here are some of my Best Friends! I would have never thought that my kids would have been some of my best friends! But they are~ they will go anywhere I want to go! Sometimes under protest and they Love me for Me! I have some other great BBF's Luke and Katrina~ they are great and we have such a great time when we are out with them! Sometimes I think Mark and Luke are a little more than Friends! Katrina and I have a great time shopping and going out to lunch while the boys work! Love it! Kamie and Cindy are the greatest as well! I love them and have had some great times with them! I wish I had more time to spend with them! My other Best friend are the girls I grew up with but for some reason I only have a picture of Malisa! Sorry girls we should really take a picture together! Also these pictures are all messed up but I think you can figure it out! I love all by Best friends thanks for being great!

Day 3

Your idea of the perfect first date.
Wow! First Date?? What is this?? I not even sure I know what a Date Night is! I think that last date we went on was to the Temple. Which I will say is a Perfect date! Of course we went there with great friends and ended the night at olive Garden! Yummy Soup! I always eat too much because it is so good!

Day 2

A Picture of Something you ate today~

Today was Fast Sunday, I made chocolate covered Strawberry's yesterday. So this morning when I wasn't eating~ These little sweets were calling my name. Well after we got home from Church I had to take Jordan to instacare ~ she woke up with a super bad sore throat and then started throwing up. I knew right away that she had STREP THROAT. Yep I was right she did. Right after they swabbed her throat she threw up again and then after we got her medication she did it again. But about 3 hours later, she was asking if she could eat and If she could go to school tomorrow. I am not sure where this kid came from, SHE LOVES school! Anyways~ by the time I got home from all that I enjoyed some Chocolate covered Strawberry's are they were so good!!

Day 1

A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

Today has been a pretty Mellow day. I worked at the Temple last night, so I got to stay in bed a little later this morning. After I got up Mark and Tanner went golfing and Jordan came home from her sleep over. After I cleaned up the house a bit, it was off to do some shopping! Jordan got new shoes for her play. I got my hair Trimmed up~ which was long over due. Then we came home and made Chocolate covered Strawberry's! All in all a good day. Now we are off to find a movie for the night!

Maybe this will help me be a better Blogger!

A change at our house!

Some of you may know that I have been wanting to quit my job for sometime. Well It's finally Happening!! Thursday is my last full day of Work! I would like to say I am going to stay home and be a house wife... But Nope. I get to watch Our cute little niece, Help Mark with his Business and Work at the Temple! Yes It is work at the Temple I get paid for it! So all in all I will still work and Make money but also get to be at home and Take care of my Wifey Duties!I can't wait to start this new Chapter!!

I have been a slacker...

This is the new Puppy we got his name is T.J, ( Tanner Jordan)

I keep thinking I am going to be better at this, and one day make my blog into a book. So at the first of the year I was going to start out with a Bang, But that didn't happen. Then I ran into a old friend at Costco ( Jana~ thanks for getting after me) and I told her I feel like I see you all the time because I read your blog. Then she told me I haven't updated mine in a while so I told her I would. So here goes nothin!

We have been trying to get Health insurance on our own so that I could quit my job and stay home and help mark run his company. Well thanks to the Great President we have right now. If you have any health problems at all you can't get insurance. So we decided to take a different route,
Mark joined the Army Reserves. Now no one freak out this does not mean he is going to war. for one he is just Reserve~ which if the war broke out they could call him up but right now that is not the case. So now we have insurance and tomorrow I get to put in my 2 weeks and quit my job! I can't wait!
I will still do a little work~ I will watch marks niece full time and I clean at the Temple. But it will be nice not to have to be away from home 40 hrs. a week. I hope that this all works out Marks business picks up, so we don't stare to death!

oh something else that has happened at our house. We went to parent teacher conference last week and Tanners teachers was talking to us about tanner. When marks phone rang and he got up to answer it. Well while he was talking on the phone, Tanner's teacher asked me how long mark had been home from War? From War I asked her? she said yeah, Tanner said he got his new Army backpack because his dad had been at war since Christmas. Well I was trying not to laugh and tanner was hiding his head. I told her that Mark had never gone to war, that he just resigned with the Army. Tanner is such a story teller he had told his teacher that mark had been gone and that he just got back. When really mark was gone for about 10 hours and never left Utah! Oh what fun we are going to have with this boy!
