Wow

Once again I am so far behind on our blog.  Lets see the past 4 months have been the same old stuff.  My TA job at the school ended at the end of the school year, so I have been working for Jordan grandma.  I love working for her I meet people from all over the world.  Jordan has been working and going to school.  I am so proud of him for staying strong and pushing through it.  He got his first associates from SLCC and now working on his second.  In May we went to Vegas with another couple for a few days.  We had so much fun hanging out and just relaxing.  We did a lot of walking and laughing.  We have still been working on our house with little projects which I'll post pictures of later.  Other then that nothing fun to report.  I will try to update more often with updated pictures.  Hope everyone is well!!  

Catching Up!

So I know it's been awhile since my last post but I figured I should catch up on the past so we can move on with the future.  Where to start....  So in October I got laid off at Welcome Home which was a hard time but I loved being able to spend more time with Jordan and hanging out with family.  It was very stressful looking for a new job but I finally found one! In November Jordan and I went to St. George for the weekend with his parents.  It was so much fun getting away for awhile but also great to catch up with family.  December was nothing special we had an amazing Christmas free from the hospital er rooms.  We are so blessed to have such great families!  January was a fun month!!  I started my new job at Reading Elem. as a 2nd grade T.A.  Jordan and I both had our lovely 24th birthdays!  Then I needed some attention I guess so got to spend time in the er room.  I passed my first kidney stones and then caught bronchitis.  Now that February is here I will try to be better at blogging again!  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years.  Bring on 2011

Barnum's Funundrum

We went with Jordan's' family to the circus again this year.  It was fun to see the new stuff but also we realized how cheesy most of it is.  It was great seeing the family though.  Here are a couple of pictures of the night. 

 Gotta love the man in the yellow hat!

 

Best Man

 Jordan was able to be apart of one of his good friends weddings.  Mike and Kylie got married on September 18 up in Snowbird.  It was a beautiful wedding and everything turned out amazing.  We are so happy for them and wish them the best of luck!  I was so excited to see Jordan in a tux again because he can rock it out! Jordan's dad married them he did such a great job and gave them good advice like they will remember it.  I know on my wedding day I was so nervous I probably can't repeat anything expect the "I Do"

This last picture is with our good friends Russell and Hilarie.  Mike, Jordan and Russell where like the Three Musketeers back in the day. 

Bear Lake

The best way to start a new semester of school is to head to Bear Lake the weekend before.  Jordan and I went up Friday afternoon after work to meet up with his parents and his sisters family.  It was so much fun to get away and relax before hitting the books again.  Jordan grew up pretty much on a boat.  His family had one for a few years and that was/is still Jordan passion.  His sister borrowed her in-laws boat so we got to enjoy the water all weekend long.  Here are a couple of pictures of them having fun in the water.  P.s. I couldn't do anything since I had my surgery only a month before so I enjoyed the weekend just sitting on the back of the boat watching them have fun.  Trust me I wanted to try a few things but I decided to be smart!

Jordan getting ready to try wake-boarding.  The water was freezing I don't know how they could just jump right in. 

Ready to go!

Getting up.  YAY!!!

He had fun trying but did a lot better on ski's.  It was so much fun to watch him do the things he loves.  Dax our cute little nephew loved playing in the sand also in the water he is so much fun.

After boating for awhile we went to the beach for a little lunch and a nap.  I had an awesome tan line with my blue brace!

While we were up there we got to stay in a cabin just up the road from the lake.  We had a beautiful view and a awesome deck to sit on and enjoy it.  

Inside the cabin was fun for me.  The bedrooms were upstairs in a loft area.  The only problem was there wasn't any stairs to climb up.  You had to climb a ladder to get up.  Everyone else did really good on it but I had to learn really fast how to climb up and down it with just one arm.  

Sorry picture is sideways but you get the idea of what we had to do.

Later that night Jordan mom Michelle wanted to do some family pictures.  I wished his little sister could of been there to be in them.  They turned out so cute here are just a couple of them.

Thanks to Chris and Michelle for the fun and much needed get away!

Don't Say Cherry Hill

This post is so late but I wanted to share it since it was kinda funny.  The last weekend in July I wanted to surprise Jordan with a little over night camping trip.  I invited our friends Russell and Hilarie to come along.  Of course, Jordan found out and spoiled the surprise but he didn't say a word to Russell.  Saturday afternoon Jordan and I headed up to Cherry Hill to get our camp spot all set up before it got to dark.  Once we got up there it was just pouring rain so we waited in the car for it to lighten up.  About 30 minutes later it stopped so we started getting the tent up and once again it started to pour.  It only took up about 2 hours to have everything ready between the storms.  Hilarie and Russell came and met us up at the camp grounds about 9 and we ate dinner and started talking.  Boy time flies when your talking about the good times and sharing stories with each other.  We decided that we needed to head to bed that was around midnight and that's when the fun began!  This was the weekend with the worst thunder and lightening storms.  About 2 in the morning our tent was bright as day light.  I started to panic so I ran to the car to stay safe.  A hour later I headed back to the tent just in time for another storm to roll on in.  We finally decided to take the center wall down and just have it as one big room since we weren't going to get any sleep.  The things people do when they are so stupid tired and scared of the lightening we found that out really fast that night.  After all we ended up getting maybe 4 hours sleep total and we sure have a story to tell our children about that weekend.  

Only a couple days later we thought it would be fun to go back and just do the water park.  Ha ha ha nope the weather turned bad once again so we had a BBQ and the boys made up their own game.  They had some much fun trying to catch anything with the extended arm.  I love this pictures so enjoy. 

We have learned a very important lesson that maybe we weren't meant to go to Cherry Hills at all this summer!!  We will try again next year though don't you worry!!!!

     

4th and 24th

Jordan and I are so lucky to have both of our families close by.  On the 3rd we were at Lagoon with Jordan parents.  It was so much fun and not busy at all.  On the 24th his little sister Jessica and nephew came to town.  Jordan and Dax got in a great water fight.  The funny thing is that Jordan wasn't that wet compared to Dax.  Jordan had a little toy water gun and as you can see Dax got the hose.  They had so much fun and it was a blast watching them. 

Later that night we had our own firework show.  Here is Jordan and I enjoying the party.  I can't believe that summer time is almost over but we enjoyed as much as we could.
