CNA

For the past week and a half I have been doing a CNA course at DATC. It has been kind of exciting doing something different than my everyday stuff. I plan on working as a CNA for a while until I can go to school to be something else in the medical field. I am not sure what I want to do but I think I will just see how the CNA thing goes first.

Jeff is working at Millionair right now, working the 2-10pm shift. He is thinking about a bunch on different things that he might want to try such as, a manager at millionair, a police officer, work on HA Base, a pilot, and anything that falls in his lap.

The kids are doing great! Sienna's Birthday is today! She turned 2. She had 2 parties, one at the Greens and one at the DeMilles. She got lots of great stuff and she loves it all. Sienna was my perfect baby but as she gets older she is starting to become a little more independent and kind of bossy (probably a girl thing). She likes things her way. I will post pictures when I can find my camera thing to do it.

A Home for us!

Our offer was accepted for the house we want to get so we are really excited! The closing date is Dec 8. Here is a little description of the home: It is in clearfield, it is a 4bed (and a den with no closet), 2 bath house. It has 2 family rooms. A 50's style kitchen (the house was build in 44), 2 car detatched garage (Jeff is excited about that). It is a nice little house with a nice yard, no grass in the back yet though). So we are excited to move in and put a little love into it. I will post pictures when we get it probably!

House....again

Well there still may be hope. Jeff talked to the house guy and he said he would go lower so I guess we might still have a chance at this house. I think that this house would be good for us so I really hope we can get it. Thanks everyone for all your concern and support, you all are the best!! If we get the house I will let you all know.

House

Well for all of you that where wondering, no we are not getting the clearfield house. The guy counter offered a number we just couldn't believe and have no hope of him letting it go for cheaper than the asking price (Pretty much). So we are still looking I guess. But I am going to be starting the CNA program at the DATC so I guess that will be good. So we just can't figure out where are lives are headed yet.

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year, for one it wasn't below freezing and two we got to have some fun with the families! Logan was the Hulk and Sienna was a Ladybug. They had lots of fun trick or treating in the neighborhood and eating lots of candy.

We are very close right now to buying a house. We put in an offer yesterday and we are waiting to hear from them. I am excited to get a house but hope we can afford it. It is in Clearfield and it is a little old house with 5 bedrooms. I think it will be great for us if we can get it for what we are asking. I am excited to have our own place again.

Back Home again

Well after a long drive home we are finally back in Utah. No Jeff did not pass his test and no he does not have a job and no I don't know what is next. Jeff is going back to Million air for a while until we can figure out another career choice for him. Right now we just need to find a place to live since we are stuffed into a small bedroom with no closet space and all of our stuff in a storage unit.

We decided that we would drive a different route than what Jeff took on the way to Oklahoma. We went through Texas, New Mexico, Colorada and then to utah. We went through Santa Fe and it was very neat. We saw the oldest house in USA and the oldest church. We also saw a few cool buildings and churches.

My new sweet baby - b!

coming home

Well Jeff gets to come home today. I am driving back with him. I am really proud of all that Jeff has done, he has sacraficed a lot and worked really hard. It has been a long hard process that our family has been through. We have grown stronger together and I am thankful for that. I am not really sure why Heavenly Father wanted us to go through all of this, maybe one day I can look back and see the good. Jeff seams really optomistic and that gives me hope. Jeff doesn't know this but I was at the temple a while ago and I had the strong feeling that Jeff would not pass and that He had a different plan for us. I was really hoping I was wrong. I am really glad to have Jeff come home again and I really miss Logan and am very excited to see him. Well thanks everyone for praying for us. We don't really know what direction our lives will go now but I guess it is just another adventure.

Oklahoma

Well I am in Oklahoma again but this time I got to bring Sienna with me. She did pretty well on the plane and was a little shy when first seeing her daddy after 2 months but now can't get enough of him. I think he missed her too! We are having some fun here and just enjoying eachother until I leave back home. Jeff takes his final test on Tuesday and then I leave on Wednesday. Jeff will stay until November 4th and then finally we get our man back!!

We went to the zoo on saturday and Sienna loved that. We also went to the Temple (another mini) it was pretty though and we got some fun pics.

Free, yeah, Free!

www.handbagplanet.com is a new website that is giving away handbags. There is no gimmicks just pick a bag you like, to enter in the drawing. Don't know if it will work but what the hay!

Here without Jeff

Well Jeff is still gone and I still miss him a lot. Sienna and I get to go visit Jeff October 14th, the day before Jeff's Birthday so that is way exciting. I got a good deal to come so I took it! We are staying for nine days this time and Jeff is pretty happy about it too. He takes his final test the day we fly home. We are really excited to have Jeff be done. Everyone please pray for Jeff to pass his test because it is really hard and if he doesn't pass then he has to come home without a job. Thanks everyone who is watching Logan for us while we go, we really appreciate it.

What a big boy, Logan!

Logan started preschool last week and is loving it. As soon as we got there he wanted me to leave, that was kind of sad for me but good for him. He is in the Davis county preschool program and he goes to Creekside elementary. I am volunteering for 2 days a month and I am excited to see what goes on there. They have a program where they get a lot of different activities and snack time and coloring and they let the kids choose where they want to go and what they want to do. The teacher will say when 5 minutes are up and they get to decided wheither they want to change or not. They learn how to manage there time and they figure out that if they don't go get a snack then they don't get on that day. So I think that will be good for Logan. I have notice that Logan speaks better than a lot of the other kids but i think that is because the state pays for children that have small learning disabilities to go to the program. Well I will post the pics when I get back and you can see how cute Logan looks!

Are you my husband?

Well I am here in Oklahoma. It is very humid and different here. I flew in from Denver on a really small plane which I boarded from the ground and up stairs instead of a thing that goes right up to the door. When I got to Oklahoma I could feel the humidity right when I got off the plane, yuck. It has been weird trying to get used to that. Well it was great to see Jeff after a month of not seeing him. It is weird how your husband can almost be a stranger at first when you haven't seen them in a while. For a few minutes I had to look at him because he looked different. He said the same about me. Well I have been sitting in his apartment while he is at work and I am pretty bored. I will post pictures of OK and us when I get home because I can't here.

If you see my kids give them a kiss and hug for me, I miss them already.

Okie Okie

Well Jeff is doing good in Okie Okie (that is what Logan calls it) It is really hard and Jeff gets a head ache from all of the information they are giving him and he is quite overwhelmed but he is sticking in and working hard. Almost one month down, 2 more to go. I am going to be visiting him in September and we are both very excited. It is really hard being away from each other.

The kids are doing good. Logan plays outside and rides his bike around. He is getting so smart, I am amazed at some of the things he knows and says. He gets to start school in September and we are excited for that.

Sienna is doing good too. She is really smart as well. She knows so many of her body parts and she is starting to sing the ABC's which I have never even really started teaching her. I think she will be a fast learner.

Old Pictures

this is from the 4th of july 2005 I think.
This is Jeff I think in 2004
I am not sure when this is but I think it is cute.
This is yellow stone 2004 or 2005?

so I was looking through my parents pictures that they have on thier computer and came across some good ones so I decided to post them. Ahhhh.... the memories.

Flamming Gorge

Well I would post pictures of our vacation but Jeff has my laptop and I can't seam to get the pictures onto my dad's computer. We had a lot of fun. We stayed in Jake's family's cabin. We stayed for a week and went boating, rock climbing, shooting, played games and just hung out. It was nice to get away and have some fun.

Jeff is doing good in Oklahoma. He is missing his little family a lot but is sticking in there and doing good in training. He just took a test and got 99.2% on it and so I am pretty proud of him. He said the weather their is really yucky humid and hot. He has been studying like crazy and of coarse playing his new PlayStation 3.

Goodbye my love

Today Jeff leaves for Oklahoma. We are very sad to let him go. We have been having a little fun before he leaves. We went and saw Batman of course, we went out to eat, we hung out with the kids and just talked with our families.

On Sunday night we had a little fun with the camera so the following pictures are quite funny. the pictures are taken while you shake your head really fast and let your checks fly. It is fun.Dad kind of looks like the joker huh.

Moving update

Well it has been pretty crazy around here. Jeff is leaving for Oklahoma in 6 days and the rest of us are moving to my parents house. So I am taking a little break right now from the moving stuff. We are pretty sad to have to be away from Jeff for so long, it will be hard but we know it will be worth it in the end when he is in SLC and working. All of his hard work will pay off soon. Today is the last day of work for Jeff and he is really excited.

So the next time I write Jeff will be gone and I will be at my parents house.

Apartment

Well I guess our landlord changed her mind about us needing to find someone for our lease. Jeff talked to her today and she said since we are moving we can get out of our lease without any worries. So ya, never mind on the last post (I erased it). So thanks all.

Us and the updates

Logan had lots of fun at the parade

Well after months of filling out papers, phone calls, going to interviews, getting exams, and just waiting, Jeff has finnaly recieved his firm job offer from ATC. He leaves for Oklahoma in about 3 week. He starts his training August 1st. He will be gone for 3 months and is leaving all of the rest of us behind, not by choice. We are excited but sad to be apart for so long, it will be good to get it all done and over with so he can start his job.



Landon and Aubry, my brother and his fiance, are getting married on Friday and we are excited for that. They are a cute couple and we are glad to have Aubry in our family.



We have been having some fun before Jeff leaves like going to the movies, boating, and just hanging out together and with family and friends. We had a really good 4th of July. It was nice to be home and celebrate with the family this year. We went to the parade in Kaysville with the family and to Grandma Greens BBQ and the kids played on a huge blow up water slide. After that we went to Jeff's family party and played a little croquet and did some fireworks.
