Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's birthday. I found this picture of them from when they were first married. I think it was their engagement picture, but I think its cute. Anyways I love my dad very much and I am proud of what he has accomplished in his life. I know he is supportive in all I do and that he will always be there for me. I love his sense of humor...I am sitting upstairs and he is having scouts downstairs. While they were doing the scout oath at the end of it they say, a scout is........and at the end they say and is annoying. I am thankful that I can have the parents I have.
Anyways today we just got done with dinner. Before jake, mom and me tried to sing the happy birthday song, but we tried three different times and just got past the happy birthday part. We are not very in tune and don't sing
very well. But its ok hopefully he liked it. I love ya dad and am thankful for what you give me, even though most of the time you don't know what your giving me...ha ha but what can I say I love to shop! Love you tons, and happy birthday :)

August Excitement

I have about 2 min to get this post done before I have to go get ready for work. Only 4 more days that I have to work and I will be officially unemployed! I am moving to Provo on sunday and still haven't found a job. But I have some money save so hopefully that will be enough for my needs for a while. However, I am going to be tending my new NEPHEW. Yes I am finally posting about him. Well I just barely got a decent picture of me with him so I can post. His name is Paxton and he is so cute. I get to see him every monday and friday...well and maybe sunday if they want to fix me sunday dinner. But I'm exicited. My cousin got married this month. I love weddings, because we get to be with a lot of family and we get to have fun. Her wedding was outside in their backyard and It was so cute. I had really fun as kitchen duty with some of my aunts. It was a good time, we gossiped, laughed and ate lots of mini fruite pizza's.

Since I have been home I have done lots of projects. I have redid my bathroom, made quilts, made pursus, and my latest is....I redid a chair. It has been sitting on our front porch forever and I really like the chair. So last week I went with my friend to provo and we stopped at my favorite fabric store Gracie Lous. I found this cute fabric and recovered it. It turned out pretty cute I'll just see if it can withstand my using it as my desk chair.

Anyways thats all thats been going on, my little sister moved to her first year of college this last weekend and I'm moving this weekend. I don't know what my parents are going to do with just jake at home. I bet my mom will go crazy and will be coming up north to "visit" a lot!

Family Vacation

For our family vacation this year we went to MONTANA! Since Jamie was still in town her and her kids came with us. It has been a blast and I love it up here, too bad its so far away. I love being in the mountains without actually camping. It was a long long drive up here and we had to double up on seats. We had 9 people to an 8 peson car, it wouldn't have been so bad if we didn't have car seats. After half way the three of us, Jerika, me, and Jake switched jamie for the back and it was a much better ride from there. We started out and stopped in Ogden to sleepover at Grandma's.
We went to Yellowstone for a day which was pretty exciting. I really wanted to see a bear, but didn't see one. All we saw were buffalo and elk. Pretty boring, but on our way home my sister saw a bear, but I didn't see it.....However today I was walking misi down to see the lake to see how much the paddle boast were. When we were walking back I noticed people stopping, I didn't think anything was going on and started up to our condo. Suddenly a black bear ran about 25 feet in front of me....It was so scary and I didn't know how I was going to defend Misi and me, since I was so exausted from pushing him around. Don't worry the bear didn't come near us, but I did get to see a bear and it was a pretty close encounter with one. Anyways we went to see Old
Faithful. Thankfully we didn't have to sit too long, just long enough for Ami to cry that he didn't want to be 4 anymore, because he wanted to sit in the stroller and to take picutres. This is us doing silly pictures waiting for Old Faithful to explode. This is us again getting a picture of Old Faithful. It was pretty exciting, probably the most exciting thing of the day. It wasn't a very exciting day with driving around all day.
Other things we have done on our trip is we went swimming, went to Bozeman and went shopping (because how can we go somewhere and not go shopping), explored around Big Sky, went to a real hick county fair, and went.....Paddleboating....This is us with our life jackets waiting to get on the paddleboats.

And this is the winning team, we had races with Jerika, Jamie and O and we won every one. Except the last one, but we bumped them along, so we really won. It has been a fun trip and I am glad Jamie and her kids have came, because if they weren't here it would have been pretty boring with only Jerika, Jake and my Parents to keep me company. Hopefully we can all sleep all the drive home tomorrow in the car while my dad drives.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while....i really have been just too lazy to do anything, or maybe too busy playing with my niece and nephews. Well whats been going on in my life... the last week in June my mom and I hopped a plane over to Texas to help drive my sister and her kids back to utah. I was the longest drive, but good thing there was a DVD player in the car and 3 of us that could drive. However, we had to watch the same couple of movies over and over becasue they are the kids favorites...anything to keep them from not crying. Well we made it to Blanding in time for the family reunion. After that we headed home, so happy to be home from the week being away...I love my bed. Next exciting thing is we went to the 4th of july parade...ok it wasn't very exciting, it was hot and for half of the time I had to help the kids get candy. Then we went and walked around the park, which was so crammed full of people we could hardly get by. After that the next week I headed up to Provo to figure out my life. I got an apartment and got registered for school, now I just need to find a job. It feels so good to finally know what I am going to do with my life....now i just have to prepare my self mentally to go back to school. Sorry I don't have any pictures...I was going to get them from Jerikas facebook but the only ones she has in there from the reunion is of her. Next post I'll be sure to put some on.

I NEED HELP!!!!

My sister has been harping me that i need to go back to school. I don't like school that much, but she said that I won't meet any people by not going to school. Anyway I really want to move to Cedar and she says in order to meet people I should go back to school. The only problem is I don't know what to go to school for. My top pick is Interior Design, but I don't know what I would do with that, maybe I can become the next Candice Olson, for the U.S., I would love that! Or my second choice is Business Management, becuase eventually someday I want to own a fabric store, or a scrapbook store, or a craft store, or maybe even a little botique, maybe all rolled into one. However, my other sister said that wouldn't really help me to have a business degree in order to have a store. I am so confused and I don't know what to do. But another problem is that is if I find a Dental Assisting job i won't be able to go to school. I already have a degree for that and I would really like to do that, but it is a slim chance that i'll find a job in that becuase i really haven't actually worked in an office I only job shadowed. The problem with that is if i do go to school i probably need to figure it out soon so I can apply for it. But i don't want to find a job until i am closer to moving, so i can be here for all the stuff thats going on in my house. I am so confused with my life right now and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I really need some advice. Any Adive?

just a normal day in my life!

Well now that I live at home, I don't do much. I do however hang out with my mom and gracie everyday, and I love it! We usually watch HGTV, go shopping, or sometimes work outside. I love being lazy. I do have a job that is fun too, I work at comfort inn. It is a pretty fun job, I work with fun people, and I get to meet lots of interesting people. Don't worry I'm not going to live at home for the rest of my life...I really want to move down south somewhere, find a job, rent a cute house or apartment and stay there for a long time. Sorry my post isn't that interesting I really haven't done much. Last week I went with my brother and parents to my Grandma's in Ogden. That was pretty fun, because Jaliz, Andy, Janelle, and Allyssa came to hang out with us on Saturday...Of course we went shopping. And the other night I went up to Fountain Green to have a girls night with some of my old roommates. It was really fun, I had a barbeque with Mandy's family, which was really good and thanks for the food Mand, and we went to the movie fighting. Other than that not much has been going on. So sorry for not posting and for no pictures.

Happy Birthday Kenz!

It was my friends birthday the other day...so it was a good excuse to go to Provo to visit! We were going to go camping, but it was cold and it was going to rain that night so we decided against it. Instead we went to a park, with a cool fishing pond and had a fire. Here is our excitement!Kenzie dropped the cake, but we ended up eating what was not touching the ground. It was a fun night, cooking hotdogs, meeting new people and eating cake! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENZ!
