This has been the fastest year of my life, how come when you grow up the days and weeks start to fly by. I can remember being in school and every day being a hundred years long and the school year would drag on forever. Not that I didn't like school or anything because I did, I loved it! It's just, as a kid you never got enough vacations from school. Well now that I'm not in school any more it seems like the years go so much faster, you graduate, have an awesome summer and then school starts again for everyone else and you realize this is it.... it's all about work, work, work. And you don't get a summer vacation to look forward to and the years just start to fly by weekend to weekend. And they are never long enough.... and before I know it I've lost track of time. The last time I updated the baby blog was in September. A real update, the last one didn't count. So here goes, our life sense September: Summer was fun and challenging, it finally started to warm up just in time for the fall months to hit.
October-
It was nice and warm compared to past years and I loved it! My Uncle Sean got married to Robyn this past October and I was able to go down with my mom and dad to be there for it.
The trip was a lot of fun I got snacks for the car ride down, these are staples for me on a road trip. My absolute favorites!
As soon as we got to Aunt Daryl and Uncle Jeff's we turned around and went back to Bear River High School to see the Bar-J-Wranglers:
They were so much fun to see, they sang lots of fun songs and they were very entertaining. It was such a fun thing to go to. The next day was busy getting things ready for the wedding. But first we got to see Johnathan play football!
On the first play of the game, Johnathan ran it in for a touchdown! It was so much fun to watch him play! His team did great!
Always have to get a shot of the scoreboard!
That afternoon Mom and I went to meet up with Denice and Amy at Costco as they were just getting into town.
(I just had to throw this in, we found this at Costco, it's a giant Pillow Pet, I love it!)
After getting what we needed there, Mom was making a veggi tray and Denice was doing a fruit tray for the wedding, we stopped at the Walmart to pick up a few more things.
I felt like I needed to do something and I wanted to make a gift for the newlyweds so we got some supplies.
Back at the house that night the football game was on
and everyone had a job they were doing:
Mom helped me with the doormat...
And soon everything was done! The fruit kabobs were made and the veggi tray done.
I even finished painting!
The next day we traveled down to Holladay to help set up and get ready for the wedding.
Denice and Melissa travel in style!
at least until we got out of the subdivision...
Melissa was like this the rest of the drive.
It was such a nice warm day in Utah, October 10th and 73 degrees!!
The wedding was perfect, right down to the string sextet. It was so pretty to listen to them play!
Sean works at a high school in Utah and he was able to get a few of the orchestra members to play for the wedding, it was awesome! Made me miss playing in orchestra :o)
This is the only shot I got of everyone else and you can only see Skylar, Mike and Danielle hahaha
This is like the worst photo ever but Robyn's daughters walked her down the isle.
Everything was beautiful!
Congratulations guys and welcome to the family Robyn!
The reception was held at the tennis court, also beautiful!
cutting the cake:
Yes they loved the gift, my camera kept dying so this is the best picture I got:
And of coarse Sean loved his car getting trashed...
NOT, I think they left to get it washed that night.
It was such a fun trip and it was fun to be there for the wedding!
Monday we had to make the long drive back to Boise but not without taking a photo of 'We heart Danny' on the graffiti wall, I just loved that!
Here is a shot of Dad kickin it in the back seat:
Danny and I didn't dress up for Halloween this year so I don't have a picture of that but I did carve a pumpkin! Ashley came over and we carved pumpkins and I helped her pick out the felt for her Halloween costume, it was a lot of fun!
and Kokua always loves Halloween
Ashley's turned out pretty great:
I love the owl!
And I think mine did too!
I was so sad to throw it out after Halloween I really loved it!
November-
Man it just flew right by... One day in there, November 7th to be exact, Danny and I decided to weigh the puppies, we have had Kapone for almost a whole year and it was time to see his progress and find out where he measured up against Kokua 'THE BARREL' Bench! He is getting pretty big around the middle area himself and even though he is very light on his feet he is a monster and we knew it would be close! I just didn't even guess how close!
As of 11.07.10
Kokua - coming in at a whopping 72.2 pounds
is a mere 4 ounces heavier then
Kapone - at a slim 71.8 lbs.
We love these two so much!
And before I knew it, it was Thanksgiving already!
Danny got some fun shots:
The Friday after all the kids got to write letters to Santa and send them off to the North Pole.
All the cubs and their balloons!
the letters were send via balloon.... it was so fun to watch the kids send them off!
Then that Saturday we had a big party for Grandma's birthday!
I went and helped Mom and Aunt Daryl set up at the church!
Uncle Jeff had a slide show he had put together that played on the screen in the back, it was awesome to see all the photos of Grandma throughout the years!
She is beautiful!!!
Of coarse we had to take some pictures of Grandma and the family!
December-
I can't believe it's already almost half over! This has been such a busy month! I put up all the Christmas decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving
(here is just a teaser :o) plus it's the only photo I have of our decorations so far)
and I've been listening to Christmas music sense November 1st,
(my absolute favorite)
I've been ready and waiting for December, now that it's here I want it to slow down! I absolutely love this time of year, I love the lights and the music and all the fun surrounding the holiday! I love the feelings that come with reading the stories of Christmas and learning about Christ, of his birth and life! It truly is a magical time of the year!
It's been fun and busy this past week, I have had the opportunity to train a new person at my work, to take over my receptionist duties and all my Customer Service responsibilities! It has been challenging and a lot of work but it has been really fun as well. I just didn't realize how much I know and do, and how smart I guess I am, until I had to teach everything to someone else.... She seems to have caught on quite well and was doing pretty great on her own Friday.
I got a new job at Pioneer Title Company!!!
I am an Escrow Assistant!!
I am really excited for this new opportunity, I feel very blessed and I know this is going to be so great for our little family! Monday I start officially at my new post and I am a bit nervous! The girl I will be working with and was suppose to be training with is awesome but she will be out all week next week on vacation, so I'm not sure what is going to happen.... I am just so excited to be in the back with everyone and I'm ready to get started! I was told I got the new job over a month ago and I've just been dying to start learning everything I will need to know! Wish me luck!
This week was great, it's fun to be the trainer and teach someone else because I feel so smart, like I know what I'm talking about and now, next week I am trainee and in a new position and I get to see how little I really do know... hahaha gotta love the flip-flop on that one!
We love all of you! And hope you enjoy the holiday season, Merry Christmas!
I hope it's not another 3 months before I update you all again!
