You guessed it!

Well we have been really busy lately. Jeff has torn apart the downstairs bathroom and is making us one that we can actually use. He just decided one day that he wanted to redo it so later we can work on the upstairs bathroom shower. Both bathrooms are probably the worst part of the house right now. We also have been working on the yard and found out that we don't need to put in sprinklers like we thought so that is good. But that project has been put on hold because of the snow. I just signed Logan up for T-ball and that starts in May, he is really excited for that. And I guess I have been pretty busy developing a baby inside my body! Yes I am pregnant. I am only about 6 weeks along but I am feeling pretty tired and sick. We are all very excited about having a new baby. Logan and Sienna are very excited!

Jeff's work is firing a total of about 30 people, luckily Jeff is not one of them but he is ending up with a bad schedule, swings 2:00-10:00 with Sunday, Monday off. We were hoping he would get to work morinings but I guess at least he still gets to keep his job.

Another injury for Jeff

I guess Jeff really is accident prone. Today he was breaking up cement with a hammer and a piece of it flew up and hit him the the head. It bled like crazy but I don't think he will need stitches. It is kind of hard to see though because it is up in his hair. We decided Jeff needs to wear his motorcycle helmet next time he works out in the yard.

Baby Daxton, Bowling fun and Backyard work

Yesterday we went and saw Corey and Becky's new baby Daxton! He is so cute, and a good little baby! Daxton was breech and so Becky had to have a scheduled c-section. They all seam to be doing ok, they are in the hospital until Monday Corey said.

We also went bowling that night with our kids because Logan has been wanting to for a while. We all had lots of fun! Logan was actually winning the whole time until the end when I pulled ahead of him and Jeff for first place. The scores ended up being 123 Jeff, 1o2 Logan, 132 me! That was the first time I have won Jeff in bowling.

We have been working in our backyard lately trying to get it ready for grass. Jeff has been pulling up roots from the ground and I have been trying to clean up the leaves and sticks. So far it has been a lot of work and if you look at the yard it doesn't even look like we did hardly anything. But Jeff took a huge load of stuff to the dumb and that makes us feel like we did do a lot.

Jeff's Ouchy Ear

Jeff is so ACCIDENT PRONE! He was pulling out a tree root using a high lift jack. Well I guess it was stuck so he put his head down closer to take a look at it pulled up and hit his ear. Well it took a good smack and cut right through it. It is all swollen and bloody and gross but here are the pictures.

Wendover

We had fun this last weekend, we went to Wendover and spent the night without the kids. We went with Asillin and Casey. We stayed at the Peppermill. We went swimming at the pool and ate at the buffet. We gambled a little and I actually came home 50$ up. Asillin and I played Blackjack most of the night but while we were getting rid of our change at the slots I won $30 on a quarter and that was awesome. Jeff played Roulette most of the time and was up quite a bit but lost it all in the end. Casey played texas hold'em. We had fun! I can totally see the people there that are addicted but I definitely have a hard time throwing money away like that but I feel like I payed to have fun so that is ok.

Logan's Birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday Logan!

Logan turned 5 on March 1st. We had a little party Sunday night with my family and logan had lots of fun. He was so excited about the party for about a week and kept counting down the days. He loved all the presents everyone got him and he loved his new airplane room. He got Legos, a batmobile, a Hotwheels city, and stuff for his room. He has been playing with all of the toys since he woke up this morning. Thanks everyone who came, it was fun.

House updates

One morning Logan woke up, walked up stairs and said "Mom, I want my room a color". I said what you want to paint your walls and he said yes. So we decided that for his birthday we would do his room. So for the past few days we kicked Logan out of his room and we have been working on it with out him seeing. I think he peeked a few times but he is really excited to see it on his birthday. I added a few pictures of his room.

Today I bought a leather sectional. I found it on KSL a week ago and have been watching it everyday. It was priced kind of high for us but I really liked it and it was exactly what I wanted for my basement. So I called on it and she sold it to me for $500 less than what she was asking! My awesome Dad and Brother Landon helped me go get it and put it downstairs. I am so happy with it and I definitely think I got an awesome deal!

Family fun

We had a little fun this weekend. First on Valentines day Jeff went and bought a motorcycle. It is a Honda and you will have to ask Jeff the rest of the information on that. Then we gave each other presents. Jeff got me the new Taylor Swift CD I have been wanting. I got Jeff our first blue-ray, I am Legend. I got the kids Madagascar 2 for v-day and they were pretty excited about that. That night my parents watched the kids and we went to Tepanyaki for dinner with my brother and sister and their spouses. It was fun but we waited for like 2 hours until we sat down. After that we went to Lindsay's house and watched a movie and ate ice cream shakes. On Sunday me, Jeff and the kids made a snow turtle in the back yard. It is pretty cool I guess, kind of scary looking. Then we went to my parents for dinner. It was a good weekend, I think the kids had lots of fun.

New Job

Well I just got a job working for my friends at their property management company. I am really enjoying it! It is great working with people that I actually like being with so that is great and the work is pretty fun, just a lot of computer input. Jeff never heard back from the police job in Layton but has recently applied for a job as an air traffic assistant which is great because in three years he might be able to be an air traffic controller again and he will have lots of experience. We are excited for this job, it is good pay and he will be able to use his schooling so we hope for the best with that. Other good news is that Jeff's sister Nicole just got engaged to a guy named Aaron yesterday so we are excited to have a new brother in law. We hope them the best, they both seam really happy together and they are a cute couple!

A good thing for our family

I was thinking about life and our future as a family I have come know that life is almost never as you predict. I never imagined my life to head into the directions that it has. I don't know if any ones knows this but we decided to move to Alaska over night practically and moved there about a month later. It was so weird to be in a place where I knew no one, I didn't know the city at all, I didn't even know how to get to the place I was living. After a while I started to really know that we were suppose to be there and that it was a good thing for our family. We met a lot of good people and learned about how important family is and the support of the church. After Alaska I was so sure I had the rest of our lives planned out. Jeff would have his perfect job, we would buy this new big house, I would get pregnant and we would have a new baby. I wanted to have a salon in my house so I could have my own business and we would just be happy. As most of you know things didn't happen as we had planned. Jeff didn't get the job and had to find a new career, we had to find a place to live that we could afford (not new and big), I couldn't get pregnant because we didn't have insurance and we didn't know how we could afford it and I couldn't have my salon in my house. For a long time I could not think why Heavenly Father answered a prayer with something other than what I thought was best for my family. I thought maybe I was being punished for something I did or didn't do. But than as time goes by the pain isn't as bad and I think to myself that I am happy and maybe this way is better for our family and that this is what we are suppose to be doing and how our life should be. We may not be rich and we may not have the new big house that we wanted but I am confident Jeff will find a job that he likes and I really love my house. It is old, really old, but it is my old house. And yes babies are in our future (no I am not pregnant) and yes life can be hard but that's what makes us strong and makes us appreciate all that we have. So I am hopeful for whatever the future brings me and I know that is will be great as long as I make it that way. It is my choice to be happy and that is what I will always choose.

Things

Logan and Sienna dancing, it was so fun to watch!

Sienna in Landons hat, she likes wearing hats.

I think we kind of look a like?

What a cutie!

My curtains in the front room.

Well things are good at our place. Jeffs car broke down and Jeff has been fixing it and I have been stuck at home with no car. For all those of you that are wondering about the police job, Jeff passed the physical test and written test and now is waiting to hear from them. There was about 70 people that applied and took the tests but not everyone passed so I guess we will see how that goes. I am done with my CNA class and just waiting to hear back so I can take the final tests.

We recently got our power bill and we're not too happy about that so we decided to put some insulation in the attic and we are probably going to get a new window in the breakfast nook. But just to let everyone know, you can get insulation done for practical free. Questar gas gives you a rebate so basic they pay for all but about 20 bucks. It really helps keep the cost of your bill down and saves energy. So we will see how that goes. They also give you a rebate for new windows. The guy told me they won't be doing the rebate stuff forever so get it done now while they are doing the rebates.

Sore...but thats ok

Yesterday Me, Jeff and my dad went snowmobiling up at Farmington Canyon. For all of you that don't know, My dad is a professional snowmobiler, he has been doing it for 30 plus years so I consider that pro. I sat there, along with everyone else watching my dad go up the steepest hills with ease (I mean cliffs and he would go over the top of them. Only tracks over were his). Jeff, I would have to say impressed me very much. He never in his life had been on a snowmobile until a year ago and he was doing things I can't imagine doing ever in my snowmobile life. (The cliffs you know, yeah crazy I think) So they were dragged around by me, because I couldn't go up certain places (or down), so it was an easy day for them. Today I am extremely sore though. I woke up with a swollen knee, back pain and arm soreness. But it was fun since I haven't been since before I met Jeff, so it has been like 10 years. (Fields don't count).

Happy New Year!

Well its a new year and a new begining sort of for us. We just love our new house, it is so fun to decorate and buy new stuff for. I just got my curtains up in the livingroom and I love them.

I am doing my clinicals now for my CNA, I have only done one so far and I guess it wasn't so bad. Jeff is working at Million air and applied for a layton city police job. He goes in for a physical test thing on the 10th and then I don't know what from there. There are a lot of people applying for the job and if any of them already have post done then they would probably get the job before Jeff would, but we are still hoping.

Sienna's tongue is doing ok, it still looks really bad. It still is gaping open but it doesn't seem to bother her. Both her and Logan are sick with colds and fevers.
