Landon & Timorie

My Hardworking Boys!

2011-08-27T15:35:00.000-07:00

Lawson is getting bigger and bigger each and every day I just can't believe how time fly's by. Today Lawson helped Daddy mow the lawn and he was so good just look at my cute boys.

After when I brought Lawson in from helping Daddy mow the lawn and then cleaning up the flower beds this is what he looked like:

He did not want to come inside for a nap. So I'm sure when he wakes up he'll want to be right back out there helping Dad and getting messy. It makes me so Happy! I LOVE these boys!

Happy Birthday!!!

2011-08-09T14:49:00.000-07:00

Can i just tell you all that I can't believe my baby is one! Its exciting and sad all at the same time. He is growing up so fast and just makes Landon and my day. You'll see when you check out his pictures that you just can't help smiling at the boy. Anyway yesterday was Lawson's B-day but we celebrated on Sunday so that all the Grandparents could make it. We had a great time and Lawson was very entertaining! Here are some pics:

Stopping to grin at the camera!

First Bite.

Cake everywhere.

Where did the cake go?

He didn't even hesitate to get into the cake. It took him a minute to put it in his mouth but after that it was basically everywhere! He had so much fun and we all had tons of fun watching him make a mess!

Happy Birthday Lawson!!!

We love you!

Wave Hello!

Isn't he the cutest!

Lawson's New Favorite Thing

2011-06-12T17:30:00.000-07:00

Landon took Lawson in the red wagon and Lawson LOVES it! We take the wagon to go get the mail now and we take rides around the yard quite often now. He has taken a few falls out of it but it hasn't seemed to change his mind about it cause he still wants to ride and it probably helped that every time he went out he landed on the grass. We also got to hang out with Tyler, Camille, Kayden and Morgan for the last few days and we loved seeing them and having them around. Unfortunately I wasn't very good at taking pictures of all the kids together but I do have one. Enjoy!

They're sword fitting I just love Landon's helmet! Aren't these guys the cutest!

Sandbox Fun!

2011-05-22T17:16:00.000-07:00

Landon decided to make a sandbox in our backyard to go around the swing set and its not done yet but we still have sand to play in until the swing set gets back in! Here are some pretty cute pics of Lawson and Landon playing in the sandbox and yes of course theres a little sand eating!

Look I'm playing with Daddy!

Considering

Yeah I think this is fun!

Dad are you sure its ok to bury me?

Yum Sand!

I know I'm cute and I like sand!

Wow!

What a cutie! I love my boys!

P.S. If some of you didn't know yes we are expecting another little addition to our family at the end of September and Lawson is getting a LITTLE SISTER! We are so excited and can't wait!

FUN!

2011-05-19T17:18:00.000-07:00

So we got to go to St. George again for a quick vacation before our crazy and exciting summer starts. We got to go down with some of our friends and we had a blast! Here are some cute pics of our weekend.

Family Pic!

Lawson and Brielle

They played so cute together and had tons of fun running around.

Playing in the pool! Lawson loves the water! We're going to have to get something little for the backyard so he can continue to play.

We had a great time! Thanks Kolby and Richelle for coming with us!

St.George Pics

2011-04-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

We got to go to St.George this last weekend just to get away and have fun as a family! We had a great relaxing time and I just wanted to share some cute pics with all of you.

Swimming at the pool with Daddy.

Golfing with Daddy and the first time that I played in grass! Lawson didn't know whether or not he liked the grass but he did pretty good for the most part. We had a great time but its always nice to come back home.

Pictures!!!

2011-02-23T17:51:00.000-08:00

So here is a picture update of things we've been up too and how fast our little boy is growing!

Christmas! I think he just liked the paper and bows.

Daddy's starting him out early to be his next snowmobiling pal.

Look how tall I am Mommy.

Where am I?

Jeff Dunham! Janell and I got Buddy and Landon Jeff Dunham tickets for Christmas. It was so fun to go and get away for a night. Its been a long time and we had a great time.

Look at my tongue.

I love playing in Daddy's coat.

Just some cute pics of Lawson.

Happy Halloween

Happenings of lately

2010-10-27T18:43:00.000-07:00

So Landon's Grandma found this picture of Landon and we think that Lawson looks just like his daddy! What do you think?

So this last weekend Landon, Lawson and I packed up and headed for St. George. We had so much fun relaxing and just enjoying being together and not worrying about anything. We went shopping (I know surprising cause Landon doesn't enjoy that but we went for a little while), golfing, swimming and to a movie. All in all a great vacation. We got Lawson in the swimming pool for the very first time and here is how that went. I just have to show you with pictures cause the video wouldn't go so I'll work on it and get it up as soon as I can.

I loved getting away and Lawson did really well for being in a different place. Lawson also started talking more and more each day. I wanted to show you a video but it wouldn't work so I'll get this one up soon too.

I love this boy you just can't help being happy when he looks at you like this!

Two Weeks Old!

2010-08-24T15:04:00.001-07:00

I just can't believe it my baby is already two weeks old! The time is going by so fast, he's going to be running me around in circles before I know it. He's been doing so good and he has already gained a pound and an ounce so he now weighs 8lbs 14oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. So here are some of my new favorite photos. I've been a little camera happy but they aren't professional or anything but their still super cute! Enjoy!!!

He likes to sleep with his hands up close to his face or

sprawled out. Landon says he's showing off his guns!

Super cute smile!

My perfect and sweet boys! This picture is my absolute favorite. I love them!

Baby Lawson

2010-08-11T15:53:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone sorry it took so long. I would have done this in the hospital but I got a little distracted by this precious little guys so hopefully you won't be to mad at me for taking so long. So here he is our precious baby boy! He weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. He's one big boy and we are so excited to have him here with us! Enjoy and we'll post more later.

One Very Proud Daddy! So cute father son moment! I love these two so much I am such a lucky girl!!!

Our Garden

2010-06-04T17:41:00.000-07:00

So Landon and I have started a garden down at Mark and Janene's and I showed a picture of it last time from further away but now its time for its close ups!

We are so excited we can see the

Corn,

Spaghetti Squash,

Mini Pumpkins,

Radishes,

Beans,

Onions,

Peas,

Carrots,

Zuchinni,

Cucumber,

Butterstick Squash.

We are so glad that they are all still growing! We hope that they keep going and don't die on us, but I'm sure that it will all work out as long as Landon is the one that stays in charge of watering cause if it was me it wouldn't be good. Thank goodness for great husbands!

Also here are some cute prego pics! One of Hayley and me when we didn't know what was going on. Mark took it and said that is was a progressing pic cause Hayley is a couple weeks ahead of me. I think its super cute even though I'm pulling a funny face!

Things we've been up too

2010-05-10T18:55:00.000-07:00

So here's what's been going on with us.

We started planting some of the things in our garden:

We have two rows of carrots, three rows of peas, a row of onions and some raspberries. I am so excited and then around the first of june we'll plant all the other yummy vegetables that we want and lots and lots of corn! I hope that it grows. I think that as long as I'm not the one in charge of watering we'll probably be just fine.

Here's Mark's shed that is getting started! The boys are so excited and have been doing all that they can themselves. I should have taken more pics of the progress or of them out there working but I never thought about it at the time, sorry.

Then we had a Mother's Day dinner a day early so Shawn and Laura could be there and this is what Janene got for Mother's Day!

Landon, Shawn and Sophie had lots of fun although Janene got to be the first one on the it! Those pics are on my phone but I'll see if I can get some on here later.

Other than that not much is going on. I'm getting bigger and bigger each day but I still feel really good so thats a plus. I'm pretty sure that I've lost my mind so if you ever ask me about something or ask me to do something you better make sure I write it down or else I won't remember, my bad. I still need to get the nursery ready but maybe after I get done working then I'll get some of it done, hopefully. Well, thats all for now but I have a few good pictures that I need to get up but it might take me a few days so don't get to excited. Keep smiling!!!

The Big News!!!

2010-03-01T13:20:00.001-08:00

Wow has it been awhile!!! Well, hopefully this will make up for all of it. I'm sure some of you have heard but if you haven't here it is..........................................WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY! Landon and I are so very excited and can't wait for August to come. Also today we were able to find out that the doctor is 80% sure that its a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made Landon go to the store with me and get a couple outfits and it was so much fun but don't worry I didn't go too crazy just a little. Everything else has been pretty good, I'm finally getting over being sick, thank goodness! Being sick is horrible but it will all be worth it. Not much else has been going on here except for work and lets see work.

Happenings of Lately

2009-09-09T16:32:00.000-07:00

Okay so I know I know I always say that I'm really bad at this well now I think that I've proved it more than one time. But one day maybe I'll be better at this. So here are some of the happenings of lately or awhile ago.

Bear Lake Trip!!! It was so much fun even though we only got out on the water one day cause it was way to cold the first day that we were there we all had fun. Shawn, Laura and Shersti got to come down from Camp Bartlett and Tyler, Camille, Kayden, and baby Morgan got to come over too cause they were out for a visit from Indiana!

Morgan's Blessing Day!!! It was so wonderful and she is so Beautiful! We're so glad that we were able to be here to go to the blessing.

Landon and I went camping up in the Uintas with some friends and it was awesome! We played games, went fishing, ate great food and even got snowed on!!!

Oh, I made a Barbie Cake for one of the girls birthday at work it turned out pretty good if I say so myself.
September 5th Landon and I spent the day up in Preston with my parents and brothers. My Dad took us shooting at the rifle range and he helped Landon sight in his gun. Then we headed to Mink Creek to see Grandpa and try out some fly fishing which wasn't very good cause it was so low but Dad caught one. After that we went back to Cub River and did some skeet shooting and I'm really bad at it I decided, but Clay did really good he beat us all. Next was my cousin Brandon's reception it was amazing and him and his wife look so happy and I can't wait to get to know them better. It was an amazing day and we had so much fun. I totally forgot my camera sorry.

Labor Day!!! We went on a hike up Adam's Canyon to the waterfall up there. It was amazing and beautiful. I'm glad that I made it cause I am so out of shape that it about killed me to get up there and I'm pretty sure there are harder hiking places out there I'm just a wimp. Landon was great and made sure I got to the top. Maybe when I get into better shape we can go again!!! It won't let me put any more pics on so I'll but some up later when I figure out whats going on.

Video of the Trees

2009-07-26T10:09:00.000-07:00

Hope you all enjoy sorry it didn't get up sooner.

Cutting Down Trees

2009-07-25T10:29:00.000-07:00

So yesterday the boys(Landon, Mark and Joel) all decided that it was the day to cut down trees. So you all know those two gigantic trees that were growing in front of the clinic well, they aren't there anymore. The boys started around 7 and got them both down by 12, then they just had to clean it all up. So Janene and I went over later and took some pictures but they had already got the first one down so we only made if for the last one. Here are some pics and hopefully I can get the video up too. Enjoy!This is the second tree still up and the other one they have cut all the branches off and have it all ready to take to the dump.
Landon climbing the second tree. It was so scary I don't know why I was over there watching.
Landon after the top part fell down. This is from the other side of the street he had the perfect seat up there.
After the bottom half was cut down. No more trees. I'll have to go get a picture later today since they have finished cleaning up and you can all see how bare it is.
I'll post the video later it wouldn't go.

It's been awhile

2009-07-11T20:47:00.000-07:00

Okay so the last little while has kind of gotten away from me and I have totally been slacking here. My bad. Anyway here are some things that Landon and I have been up too.
My cousin Chelsea got married the sixth of June.Andrew and Chelsea as they came out of the temple.

Karl, decided to take a nap while he waited for pictures to be done.

My amazing husband and me. I love this picture!

We had the Irwin Family Reunion up at the Lion's Lodge in Morgan which was tons of fun even though it did rain a lot. We played lots of games, ate great food and just got to enjoy each others company. Sorry I don't have any pics I accidentally forgot my camera.

I had a dear friend from high school pass away and it was really hard but I'm doing good. I am so very very grateful that I was able to know Lance Jensen and have him as a friend. He was a great example and friend to everyone around him and he always knew how to make you laugh. Miss you Lance.

Landon and I have also been in charge of the Mortuary while Mark and Janene have been away. It did get a little crazy at times but we are making it and for awhile at least Mark is back to help for a couple days before he heads out to Indiana to be with Camille, Tyler, Kayden, baby Morgan, Janene and Shersti. Oh, that's the other thing Camille had her baby!!!! HOORAY!!! We are super excited and very proud to be the uncle and aunt again. We can't wait to see you guys and get to spoil those two. Baby Morgan was born on July 9th and was 8lbs 8 oz and 22 inches long. Congrats guys!!!

I started working at the Dentist Office in Morgan again this last week. I love it over there, the girls are really great and the atmosphere is a lot nicer than in Mesa, although I did have a very nice office down there, I like it better here. Maybe its because it is closer to family but I also have more in common with everyone here. Its great to be back!

I also got to go to my Jensen Family Reunion in Mink Creek, ID. I loved it, I got to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins that I haven't seen for almost a year cause I was in Mesa and we all had a great time and they had amazing food there too. I also was able to spend time with my wonderful Dad, Mom and brothers I love you guys your amazing! And although I forgot my camera again hopefully my mom and aunt will get me some pics so I can share more with all of you.

I think that about does it for now but I'll try and keep you more updated from now on. See ya!
Here are some random pics of things that also went on: We decided to see if Teagen fit in the cupboard. The lilies have come out at my house and they are beautiful.

Julia's Married!!!

2009-05-29T11:13:00.000-07:00

Anyway its been a little crazy since we've been home cause Landon's brother got married and so here are some pictures and when I get my house all put together I'll try and put up some more pictures.Family picture at the temple.

Personally I think he did an amazing job! I'm so proud of him and all he's done.

Fun Fun

2009-04-27T18:07:00.000-07:00

Okay so here are some fun things that Landon and I have been up too. First off I've been doing a few projects for the last few months cause I get distracted or bored so I have to start a new on and then go back to the other ones. So here is what I have finished so far.

My Chicken Scratching Square

This is a Crochet Square that my friend Greta showed me I haven't finished completely but what do you think.Then Landon and I went golfing today it was great!

Last but definitely not least Landon has been growing his facial hair so we decided to put up all the different looks he had and let you vote on which Landon you like best! Enjoy!

Can't wait to see you all!

HE PASSED!!!

2009-04-25T12:10:00.000-07:00

So Landon took his last National Board today and HE PASSED!!! We are so excited and I'm so proud of him he has done so great! He took the first one on Thursday and passed it and then he passed the one today. So he doesn't have to worry about taking any more tests for a long time! HOORAY!!! It also means that he has passed all his classes in the program so he is all set! Just wanted to share and let you all know. Also here is a pic of his entire class and his professor and his assistant it was taken about a week and a half ago at a banquet we went to for his class.
P. S. 3 weeks!!!

Mortuary Science Class

2009-03-30T19:31:00.000-07:00

Landon's class was on the news a few weeks ago and I thought it would be nice to put it on here so you can see it if you want. You get to see Landon, and his head that he is making. I had to put it at the bottom of the page cause this is my first time trying to put a video on from the news website itself. So scroll all the way to the bottom and wait for it to load and also push pause on the music so you don't have that playing at the same time. Hope you guys like it!!!!

Surprise!

2009-03-15T16:43:00.000-07:00

Okay I'm going to tell you all about my wonderful weekend. So I knew that my Grandma Knapp and her sisters and my aunt Margret were going to be coming to Arizona for Aunt Joan's granddaughter Alexis's wedding. Grandma called last Sunday and said that we'd like to get together and eat once we get off the plane and before we go to Sheila's house. I said okay I'll meet you wherever you want. They decided on the Sweet Tomatoe, which is a soup and salad bar place down the road from where we live. So all week I had been counting down the days until they got here and I was so excited and I even had the girls at work excited because of my count down. Well, when the day finally came I was afraid that I wouldn't get out on time but Heavenly Father knew how excited I was and how much I needed to see them so I got out early even with the schedule that we had it was amazing! On my way home I usually call my mom and see how her day was so I called and her phone was off so I called the house thinking maybe she had the day off. I got Clay and he was acting kind of funny but I didn't think anything of it and then I talked to Dad and he said she was working so I just assumed that she had forgot to turn her phone on. I had a great talk with Dad and then got home and got ready for dinner. Aunt Kerma called and said that they landed and were on their way and would meet us at the resturant at about 6:40. Landon and I waited until it was about 6:30 and stopped and got gas before we went over. When we got there we didn't know if we should wait outside or inside, so we went in to see and Aunt Joan and Grandma were standing at the door waiting for us. I was all excited and hugged Grandma and then we got in line and she told us they were out on the patio. We got our food and headed out to the patio and at the door Grandma grabbed my tray and I got hugged by Aunt Kerma and Aunt Utahna and they had a video camera going so I was trying my hardest to avoid that but they kept saying look at the camera and say hi so I looked up and said hi and then they moved out of the way and there stood my MOTHER!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! I of course started to cry and hugged her and just kept on crying. I couldn't help myself. It was the best surprise ever and nobody even gave me a clue that she was coming. The whole rest of the night I just couldn't believe it and I couldn't stop shaking. I'm surprised that I didn't drop something. It was amazing, we had a great night talking and laughing and eating. Then they went to Aunt Sheila's house and since it was close to 9 Landon and I went home so that they could go to sleep even though that didn't happen. Once I get the video of my reaction I'll see if I can post it cause I'm sure its priceless.

Okay so the next day I got work off so that I could spend the day with them. We went to the temple for Alexis's wedding which was beautiful. Afterwards we went and ate, went back to the visitors center by the temple to look at an art gallery they had displaying and then back to Sheila's house to relax before the reception. After a few hours we went to the reception and ate again and talked and then after the reception Landon and I brought my Mom to our house to show her around our small cozy little place. It was great and then we sat and talked until the others got back to Sheila's then I took her back there for the night. I still can't believe that she's here but I wasn't going to take any time for granted.

Okay so one to Saturday, we decided to try and go to the Botanical Gardens cause they were having a blown glass exibit but once we got there they only let you in if you had reservations cause they were completely full. So we went to plan two, The Zoo! I was so glad we got to go to the zoo I've been bugging Landon to take me and now we got to go. I'm just like a little kid I love the zoo! It was pretty funny two cause we only had the 7 month old Joshua with us and no other little kids! But we had lots and lots of fun! We were there for most of the day, so afterwards we did a little shopping to get souvenirs and then back to Sheila's to rest for the day. We sat around and talked and laughed and teased each other and just had fun enjoying each others company until it was time for bed again.

This morning we went to an 8 o'clock ward for sacrament meeting and sunday school and then ran back to Sheila's for them to change and pack and then we headed off to the airport. Once we got there we got everyone and everything inside and sat off to the side to eat some leftovers before they headed to get on the plane. This visit may have been short but I'll take it. I was so excited to have them come down and be able to spent time with them. It was hard to see them go but I'll be home in two months and can't wait cause I'll be able to spend more time with them and everyone else too. I love you all!!!

Here are some pics of our weekend!This is the resturant that they surprised me at.

Grandma Knapp, Aunt Utahna, Aunt Margret, Mom, Aunt Joan, Aunt Kerma, and Julianne.

So I knew you guys wouldn't believe me if I told you that I had to scrape my cars windshield unless I got proof so here is it.

I know crazy!!! I didn't think I would ever have to scrape my windshield but low and be hold I did. I even tried to just use my windshield wipers at first to see if it was just moist but nope it was a tiny layer of ice.
Anyway in other news Landon and I are getting way excited that we will be able to see all of you in two and a half months!!! Hooray!!! It is getting closer and closer. Other than that its just work and school here. I know really exciting. Hope everyone is doing great and we can't wait to see you all!

Fun Saturday!

2009-01-18T14:58:00.000-08:00

So this Saturday Landon didn't have to work so we decided to go have some fun! So in the morning we went golfing! Okay, I didn't golf but I drove the cart and pretended to be the caddy while Landon played. We went over to the golf course that is right by our housing so its about five minutes away. Here are some pics:

Here is the golf course but I really just wanted to get a picture of the ducks cause they were fighting and it was so funny to watch. plus who doesn't like ducks.

Landon getting ready to tee off.

Landon chipping.

Sorry none of me but the other guys that we were with already though I was a weird newlywed cause I wanted to go golfing with Landon and because I was taking pictures but hey I was just having fun. So after golfing we decided to go look for a new camera cause the one that we have is starting to die on us. I love shopping and I was so glad Landon came with me although after awhile he was starting to get bored but in the end it all worked out cause we now have a new camera! Hurray!!! Now I can take even more pictures! Sorry I couldn't get it to let me put any of the pics up from the memory card but in a few days hopefully I'll get some up. So thats about it for us we have just been working and working and working since we got back here. But Landon starts school on Tuesday so hopefully that will make things go faster for us.

Update!

2009-01-04T19:05:00.000-08:00

Okay so its been awhile since I've put anything up so here it goes. We got to go to the lights around the Mesa Temple. They were beautiful and I was so excited to get to go. Here are a few pics from that night. Sorry they aren't the best. They did a really great job even though it was a little different not having any snow around. Next we got to UTAH and IDAHO!!!! Hurray! We were so excited. We left the night of the 19th and got to Morgan about 8:30 in the morning. We were both really tired by the time we got there but we made it and it wasn't to bad of a drive although poor Landon did most of the driving. Boy, I love him! Thanks honey! It was so great to see our family and spend time with them. We love you all! So we got to spend a few days in morgan and then we headed for Preston! It was great to be able to go to both sides of the family for our little Christmas vacation. We spent the day before Christmas eve, Christmas eve and Christmas up in Preston here are a few pics we got up there:

My brother Wes My brother Clay Landon and yes Clay got us up way to early! hahaha (jk) It was great! This is how much snow they had at my parents house. And then on Christmas night we got dumped on and here are a few pics from my Grandma's house and of our truck. The day after Christmas we went back to Morgan and spent some more time there and got to see Camille, Tyler, and Kayden! We had so much fun playing games, watching movies, just relaxing and of course sitting in the hot tub! That was Landon's favorite part. So thats about it, on the 28th we headed back to Arizona and here we are now. We're both just working until Landon starts school again and then in a few more months we'll be back to Morgan! But hopefully I'll be able to post more stuff that we do before then. Anyway we had a wonderful time and we're so glad we got to make it up for Christmas! We love you all and miss you tons!!! See you all soon.

Christmas Tree???

2008-12-05T20:56:00.000-08:00

So here is our Christmas Tree!!! What do you think?

Okay, okay its not really a tree but its what Landon and I decided to have since a real Christmas tree just doesn't seem to fit in down here. Well, at least to us it doesn't. Poor little thing looks like its going to break with the few Christmas bulbs that I put on it and I even had to hook them on the lights so that they wouldn't fall off. I do think that it is pretty cute for a cactus and it will work for this year hopefully it won't die before we get to Christmas. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas Season and we look forward to seeing you all around Christmas when we get to come up for a visit!!!! HURRAY!!! We love you all! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

New Hair Do

2008-11-22T18:21:00.000-08:00

Okay so I haven't posted for awhile but what can I say we're just boring. Anyway today I let Landon convince me to finally color my hair. I have been thinking about doing it for awhile now and just haven't had the guts to do it until Landon said just do it! So here are some pics sorry they aren't very good cause there is a funny shadow but they work. Let me know what you think. I haven't decided yet but give me a few days and I'll let you all know.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! We all have so very much to be thankful and grateful for. Love you all!!!

Last Day of October

2008-10-31T11:16:00.001-07:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

We hope that everyone is having a great Halloween! Can you believe that it is already the end of October!!! It is so crazy, but so exciting at the same time. We can't wait to see all of the fun costumes that you all have. Sorry I didn't put any pictures of us up, but we aren't dressing up this year, SORRY. Maybe next year we'll be cooler and can dress up. We hope you all have a great day. Keep Smiling!

Puzzles!!!

2008-10-29T17:47:00.000-07:00

Where is my mom, grandma and Janell? I think quite a ways away and so why in the world did I start this puzzle without them. Good question. Ha, ha, ha, ha So let me explain, I started this puzzle when we were back in Morgan thinking that Janell or anyone else would be there to help me make it through it. Don't get me wrong I love puzzles but after awhile I go a little crazy and need some help. Plus its always fun to put the puzzle together with friends and family cause you can sit and talk and laugh and just enjoy each others company. So any takers on coming to Arizona to help me. Hahahaha just kidding it will get done one of these days. Anyway on with what I was saying. I got a little bored the other day and decided to pull a puzzle out and I had part of this one started so I got it out and spread it out all over my puzzle board. I was so excited and this is about as far as I've gotten and I'm kind of stuck. So give me a while and I'll let you know if I ever finish this project of mine. Keep Smiling!!!

Oh, so I guess I better update a little on how this are going for us down here. Landon is doing really well in school and is loving every minute of it. He has made so really good friends there and he even got to go golfing awhile ago and was so excited. We are also doing the work thing and things are going, we have good days and bad days but we always get to come home and relax with each other. Which personally is my favorite part of the day. So we can't complain, we're enjoying this new adventure we are on and learning alot. We miss you all and hope all is going great for you!!!

Chicken Scratching

2008-10-17T17:00:00.000-07:00

So after talking to Camille today I decided to share one of the things that I love to do with all of you and if any of you would like to know how to do it, I would love to show you when I get a chance. This is called chicken scratching, it is kind of like cross stitching but different. Here are some pictures of the ones that I have done and one that I am still working on. Sorry the pictures aren't the best but they'll work.

This heart pattern is the first pattern that I learned. My mom is very crafty so she helped me learn how to do this.

This is the one I'm working on, its probably about 1/4th of the way done. I know sad but it will get done one of these days. I'll post a finished picture once I get it done.

Here is a close up so that you can see the stitches.

It is a lot of fun and just something that can keep me busy and you can put them on a blanket or pillows or whatever you want to put it on. I especially like to do this cause I can't sit with Landon and watch a movie or tv with him and do it at the same time.

Walker Family Photo!!!

2008-10-11T13:14:00.000-07:00

Okay so I just got our family picture from Janene yesterday and I was so excited cause it is so cute and I wanted to share it with everyone so here is our New Family Photo!

6 unspectacular things about me (I've been tagged)

2008-10-10T17:33:00.000-07:00

Okay so I was tagged awhile ago and just haven't updated yet cause I was trying to figure out what I wanted to put. Sorry.

1. I love to read and to tell you the truth I'm a Twilight Addict too and proud of it cause they are such good books!!! If you haven't read them do! It is totally worth it.

2. I love to sing! I know alot of you didn't know I sang at all but thats just cause I'm a little shy about it even though I absolutely love it. Maybe if your lucky you'll get to hear me one day.

3. I can't wait for Landon to finish school so we can move back to Morgan and be closer to family. Thankfully our stay down here seems to be going by quickly and even though we will love every minute down here, we just can't wait to be back home!

4. I graduated from Bridgerland Applied Technology College with a Dental Assisting Certificate. Whoo hoo! I know that its bad that I'm glad I'm done but what can I say I love not having to go to school everyday. Although I love learning I'll just have to find some other way to do that:)

5. I love to cross stitch and chicken scratch. If any of you don't know what chicken scratching is I'll have to put a picture up of the one I'm working on once its done.

6. I love having such an amazing family!!! Everyone is so great and such a great example and help to us. What would we do without families? I certainly don't know and I'm glad I don't have to find out. LOVE YOU ALL!

IN & OUT BURGER!!!

2008-10-05T11:31:00.000-07:00

So yesterday Landon and I both had the day off so we went down the road to look around the different stores at the San Tan Village. Its kind of like their mall but its all their own stores so it isn't all in one big building. We had so much fun and didn't have to worry about the time or anything we just went to have fun. Landon even got to play golf on a simulator thing they had at Dick's Sporting Goods it was so cool and now he really wants one. Anyway later that day we decided to go to In & Out Burger, can I just tell you that I love that place it is sooooo gooood. I think that is one of the things that I'm going to miss the most when we come back to Utah because the closest one will be in St. George where as down here it is less than a mile from our house. So I just want to say if you get a chance to try it do cause it is totally worth it. Yum!!!!!!!!!!

New Job

2008-09-19T20:33:00.000-07:00

So I totally forgot to let you all know that I finally got a job so I'm not a complete bum anymore. (Only on my days off. hahaha) I started work on Monday at an Endodontic office called Alpha Canyon Endodontics. Which is a dentist office that only does root canals, maybe an implant, and some extractions. It's not all that different just that you only really have to learn one new thing instead of a few. I really like it. It is definitely hard trying to get use to working all day after not doing it for awhile. I think because of all my stressing out over trying to finding a job, I made myself sick. I'm getting over it but getting your body use to different things is hard on it. So give me a few weeks and I'll be great. It is alot different down here in the work field cause in Utah most people are LDS but down here I don't even know how may people are LDS and who aren't. All the girls I work except for one aren't LDS which is completely fine cause they are so nice and helpful in everything that I'm trying to learn, its just different lifestyles to get use too. Where as at my job in Morgan all of them were LDS. I always loved, at work, when we would ask a doctrinal question and all of us would be able to discuss it and figure it out together but I don't think I'll be doing that down here. I'm so glad I finally found a job and I think that I'll end up liking it almost as much as my other job.

Fun, Fun

2008-09-17T18:47:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I know that we haven't updated anyone for a while but here is what has been going on with Landon and me for the last week. Keep in mind that we are boring college students so not a lot of stuff, but we still find time for fun when we can. :) So on the twelfth Landon's friend Mike that he meet in our ward called and invited us to go to an Arizona Diamondbacks game so we said heck yeah we'd love too. Now I can say that I've been to a real baseball game cause I've been to tons of church and city leagues and some school games but never a professional game. I was so excited even though you couldn't see us on tv we have pictures to prove we were there. So here they are:

Landon, me, Mike, Val, and Gavin. This is where home plate was from out seats. So they may not have been the very best seats but we could still see everything and we loved it!!!

Okay so the next thing that happened was I finally have a job!!! Yeah!!! It was long enough to go without a job. So I've been kind of crazy and tired this week cause its longer days that I'm use too. Well, I came home from work yesterday and I was tired and all I could think of was I want to go to sleep. Not very good. I just need to get use to the work routine and I'm sure I'll be fine. Well, the reason for all of the going on is when I got home I found this:

How cute!!! Landon totally picked me a flower to help me feel better and he did the dishes all by hand. I was so excited! Boy, do I love him and I don't know what I would do without him either cause he is always telling me that I can do it and encouraging me in everything. I'm so luck!

Not much else is going on here just working and school that is basically our lives and will be for the next year but we can handle it. We hope everyone else is doing well and we will try to keep everyone update. Keep smiling!!!

Weather

2008-08-30T12:06:00.000-07:00

Okay so since we have been down here in Arizona the weather has been kind of crazy and definitely something to get use too. We have had the hottest days ever (well at least to me), the windy days that blow tree branches out of the tree right next to your house, rain, rain, and more rain, and the thunder and lightning storms too. It is so crazy how one minute its a clear blue sky and the next its cloudy and raining. It just can't make up its mind. So here are some cool pics of what the weather has been like down here.

This is one of the sunsets that we have and Landon went around the houses to get a clear view of it.

This is the same sunset just from right outside our door of the house so you can see all the other houses.

This is one of the rain storms that we have been getting about every night. I couldn't get the lightning in the picture but it shows the rain really well.

This is Landon's contraption to keep his baby safe from the rain. He even has the chair and my mop out there to help hold the tarp up.

Arizona

2008-08-16T17:09:00.000-07:00

So Landon and I are now in Arizona. We left on the eleventh and got here on the twelfth. It has been pretty good down here, but it is hot, hot, and hot!!! It will definitely be something to get used to but it will all be great. Here are some pictures of our new adventure:

Right before we left.

Our new home the front.

The back of the house.This is our dining room and living room all in one. Its great all that it needs is a few rugs cause all it is, is tile but its going to work great. The only other thing you have to look out for are these:I think we've found one at least every morning. Don't ask me how they get in I have no idea. Everything else is going great we're basically all moved in I only have a few more boxes to get out and then we're done. Landon has found himself a job and so now I'm the only one still looking. Hopefully sooner than later. Well, we hope all of you are well and we miss you all.

So today we got back from boating in Bear Lake. It was so much fun even though we were all ready to come home. Here are some of the things we did:

Landon and Belle

Shersti Jumping

and everyone tubing!!!

We all had a really great time, even though we got sunburned, beat up on the tube and sometimes didn't sleep to swell it was Wonderful. We were there for about three days and spent most of the time out on the water. But Monday night we got to go to the Pickleville Playhouse over there and we watched Chuck Wagon's Wild West Showdown. It was one of the funniest shows ever the kid that played the villain had us all rolling in our chairs. We were all talking about it the rest of the time. If you can get over there before it closes for the year I would highly recommend it. You'll love it. The rest of the time was boating and campfires. What a great vacation!!!

2008-07-25T20:49:00.000-07:00

So this is totally different. I don't know what I'm really doing so hopefully my family members will help me learn.

So new things going on with Landon and me are: trying to pack and get the house ready, quiting my job and trying to find and new one, and finally moving to Arizona!!! That is so crazy to think about, but its going to be an amazing adventure.

Landon and I will be moving to Arizona where Landon will be going to Mortuary School. Which Landon isn't to excited about, but you gotta do what ya gotta do. We'll be down there for a school year and then we'll be back to good old Morgan.

Other than that we're not doing to much but we'll keep you posted.
