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!

Finally A Post!

One of the many pictures taken that day!

I bought us all white flip flops to where out of the temple!

Our family was sealed July 20 2010
it was such a fun and wonderful day! We are so greatful for all the people who helped us get to this point. It only took us 11 years to get our act together. But now we are a forever family!
I know we are blessed for the doing this with our family. I wish we would have done it sooner.

This is one of my favorite photos we too that day!

Summer..Is it over yet??

Wow~ I can't believe summer is already here! it's kinda crazy to think that in just at few months both my kids will be in school full time!! Until then I guess we will enjoy the summer! We bought a Pass this year to the American Fork Rec. Center so we will be going there alot!! It's so nice to just go for an hour or so. When you have to pay for the whole day you want to get your moneys worth. I think our pass will pay for it's self for sure!



So far this summer we went to Yuba State Park~Got really sunburned but had a great time!!



I got a great deal on Season passes to the Salt Lake bees~ there are at least 40 more games and I paid $40 a person for them that's only $1 a game. I don't think we will make it to all the game but still its a good deal. Oh and we can take 4 people with us also~!



We went to Tracy Lawerence Concert at Eagle Mountain days, the kids thought it was really cool when we went right up to the stage. Well I am sure we will have more fun to come!! I will try to keep you updated!! But If I don't we must be having to much FUN!!!

WOW!

That's a lot of stuff we have done in the last few weeks! plus there are 2 camping trips that I didn't even blog about! I will get the 3rd one when we go to Yuba!
Today we went to the U.P.O.A k-9 TRIALS! it was lots of fun but very cold! Those dogs are so smart!! I hope we get to go again soon!

Jordan's Final Meet!

Jordan has decided that she wants to just be a kid~ well one that just goes to piano lessons! Jordan has been going to gym 10 hours a week and on the days she doesn't go to gym she has piano and activity days so there is no time to just be a kid! this was her final meet and in total she only went to 2 meets! She does love gym and she is really good at it but she has decided to take a break. Its fine with me~ no more driving her back and fourth and I will save $150 a month! just a side note she sis fracture her arm at classic skating so this really ended her gymnastics for the summer! Lucky for her it wasn't a very bad fracture and she didn't need a cast or surgery just a soft cast!

Oh and My Hubby had a Birthday!!

Mark would die if he knew that I posted this picture of him on our blog! but since he never reads this blog he will never know! So don't tell him!!
Mark is 34 this year~ He is so old!
but I love him anyways~ He is a great Father and a wonderful Husband! He is such a hard worked and we love him for that! I always said I wanted to marry someone like my dad. I know that My mom might think that I am crazy! Just kidding she loves my dad! I just always wanted to marry a guy who could fix things and build things~oh and like my dad treat me like a Queen! Mark is just that person! He is always fixing up stuff around our house to make it just the way I want! I love him for that! Love ya babe!

I know I am a SLACKER!!

Tanner Played soccer for the first time this spring! He was pretty cute to watch! He said it was fun but he really wants to play Baseball! so I guess next year we will do Baseball!

Tanner is 6!.. (on April 7)

Wow 6 years has flown by so fast! The world will never be the same! Tanner is all boy~ this you will know if you have ever met the little terror! But, I don't know what we would do without him! He keeps us going all the time! He is a great little reader and has just started to play soccer. He loves Dirt bikes, Motorcycles, and fast cars! Yep still all boy! He learned how to ski this year and can out ski is mom!

Little Baby Tanner! Such a fun, Happy Little boy!

Tanner had his own little tanning bed when he was just a day old! Marks says that's why we named him Tanner..But its not really!
