Finally Done!

It is official, I am finally done with school at Weber State. I graduated with my Batchelors, in the College of Education. I can't believe it is finally over. It has been a long haul..... I am grateful and glad that I have an education.

Me and my mom.... And lovely flowers from my man!

My sisters came! Thank you so much for coming and for your support. I love you all.

My Dad and my man.... I was so suprised to see them before the big event.

A day before my graduation I interviewed at Bell.... That day I recieved the call.... I will be teaching at Bell in the Life Skills Unit.....I was way excited! I love the students there and the other teachrs. It will be challenge, but I am ready for it. I am glad that I have a job so that I can stay busy working.

Leaves are Falling all around....

I don't have a favorite time of year. I think that I like all the seasons because each season brings something different. Ther are many feelings, memories, etc... that comes with each one. Fall is wonderful because it brings in the Holidays. I love to watch the leaves fall, and the smell of wood burning stoves in the air at night. To start fall off Jason and I decided to make some Halloween cookies.

We had tons of cookies. We had kinds of candy to decorate with. I had Haley, Bubba, and Sarah helped docorate some of these.

I couldn't believe how much work it took. It really took a long time to make. It was a lot of fun, and a great activity. Even though it took so long, I would do it again. Maybe I will do some for christmas.

I got these flowers from Jason. They were really beautiful. It was so nice of him to get them for me :)

Almost Done

I am doing my student teaching this semester of college. I am halfway done, and it is going by so fast. On Monday I will be going to T.H. Bell where I will finish up. I am way excited. So far it has been a really good experience, and I have the best coordinating teachers.

Riverdale was my first placement where I taught a class full of 27 first graders. I haven't been so scared in my life. I about died when I found out I would be teaching first grade. Most of my experiences have been with the older kids. I loved it and enjoyed it tons. I only got sick once and I don't know if I caught a bug or if it was stress and nerves of getting observed. I had to cancel my observation. But I made it!

Bubba's Home

My brother got home from his mission on the 25th. We are so excited to have him back. My parents went to go pick him up from his mission. They all arrived an hour early. It was so fun to watch him come down the stairs. Just like my first Brother I wanted to run up the stairs. This tiem I was able to control myself and wait for him to come down. I don't know why she is crying....ha ha I was.

Bubba and Kylee..

The little man waiting for his friend/cousin to get home. He was waiting so paitiently.

All of us girls waiting for Bubba to come.

I was hoping to get a cute picture with my sister. It looks like its cool to stick out your tongue, I don't know how I missed that memo.

Bubba got to meet his niece and nephew for the first time. His niece is 2yrs old. She took awhile to warm up to him... I don't think she ever really was ok with him.

Bubba and baby Treyden.

What a face.... he is so excited to be home.

These were his worn out shoes.....I thought I would take a picture, because this shows how many miles that he put on out there.

Me and my big/little bro..... I am so glad that you are home. Good luck with getting on to the next chapter of your life. You served well. We all love you so very much, and we are so thankful for your service in serving the Lord.

The end of summer to Fall

My summer ended and I am so glad that Fall is coming. Right now I am student teaching at Riverdale elementary in a first grade classroom. It is really fun, and I am learning alot. I will only be there for two more weeks, and then I will be going to T.H. Bell junior where I used to work. Then I will be done.....in the mean time I am enjoying my family and all the changes that are happening in our lives....I am so glad that I am around to see them, it sure is a blessing.

My first niece and my first nephew. Their first picture together. They both bring so much joy to my life. They can always make a bad day good.

Somtimes I am not so happy that I am still in school and that I still live at home. One of the many blessings of still being at home is I get to watch as my sisters grow up. I was able to be around as Haley got ready to go to the Homecoming dance at Fremont. She looked so beautiful. My parents missed out on the event because they are picking up my brother from his mission.

I am so thankful for all of my sisters. I am so blessed to have them all in my life. We were all there trying to get Haley ready for the dance. Kylee was the miracle worker (who did it all) she did such a wonderful job.

I don't think we look anything alike ;)

She looks so beautiful!

The guy that asked her came and put starbursts all over her room. There were a ton, even my Dad was down in the room trying to help us find the guys name. We all knew who it was... but it was fun to watch her.

We had to get Haley out of the house while he came to do this. When we came back my Dad was thinking of all the different ways to get Haley down to her room. When she finally went all she said was OH NO.......

I went to yellowstone with Jason. It was way fun. It had been a long time since I had been there. I think I was seven the last time I went. It is really fun to camp up there. It sure brought back memories when I was there with my family and all that happened. I hope to go there next summer.
What a stud! I am not sure about that bandana... It is Jason's new look....."everyone is wearing one" ha ha
The last time I was here, I got a picture taken right here with my family.

The Baby is Here!

I was talking with a friend the other day and she told me that I really need to update my blog (a long with many others). I told her that I didn't have anything to blog about. The very next day the baby came. So I have updated my blog :) I am so glad this little man came he is so cute and I just want to kiss him all the time.





He is so cute!

He was 7 lbs. 13oz. He came the 18th of August. Baby and Mommy are doing great!

I am such a proud aunt. He is so cute....I just want to kiss him.

Summer So Far......

I have done a lot of things so far this summer. A long with taking some courses up at Weber State so I can graduate in the fall, I have been able to do a few things. If I was a better blogger and did this more, you could enjoy more pictures and hear about things in more depth. So far I have been to Idaho Falls to visit my bro and his family, I have been to the Mani Pageant and Capitol Reef with Jason. I have done the Relay for Life with my family, along with many other fun activies with them. I have enjoyed one fun day swimmin with Torie in our "huge" pool outside.


Jason and I decided to go to the Manti Pageant. It was so much fun. It was great to see something churchy for a change. It was funny to see the prtestsors there and I was reminded about how strong my testimony is and that I need to continue to keep it strong. It reminded me of times when I was on my mission and how my testimony was strengthened. It was a trip that I enjoyed.

This is Jason and I driving to the Manti Pageant. He was so good about drivin all the way there and back. I felt so bad because I kept falling asleep on him.


We had to stand at the gates to wait to be let in. I wish I would have gotten it on video. The people that work there tell you not to run when the gates are opened up. I kid you not. There were grown adults running to get there seats. I was laughing so hard. I could not believe that.


This was the temple all lit up, before the pageant was about to begin. It is so beautiful.



My family did the Relay For Life again this year. It was still cold like it
was last year and we did it at the first of June again. I think all had a great time. I had just a few shots that I took.

My Mom and I bought camo hats because our theme was camouflage. Kayle was so cute with here shirt. She got lots of treats that night. Including cotton candy from me. We love her to death.


This is for the bag ceremony where we light up our bags for those who we are honoring that night. We recognize those who survived and those who did not.



What beautiful Girls! Even the prago one. I can't wait till that babe gets here.





This is Torie and I at the falls... I am not very good at taking pictures. I need to do better at taking more and getting my camera out.


This is for you Clayton. Lauren was trying to get a good picure of him and her in front of the temple. I liked the picture and wanted to get one. I ended up with one of him. ha ha ha......

This is Idaho falls. It was really fun to go with my family and Hang Out with Brandon, Tasha, and the baby. This was at the temple.



Here is a picture of Jason. We went on a hike called the Natural Bridge. We thought this was it and we thought it was so lame. We found out that if we kept hiking we would get to it. After getting lost a few times we finally made it.


This is when I went to Capitol Reef with Jason. I had tons of fun, it was just a spontaneous road trip that we did.


I saw Kylee wearing this wone day and thought it was so funny. She wore this all the time when she was little.
