Happy Holidays!

So we spent Thanksgiving in Thatcher. Well we had Thanksgiving dinner in Mesa at Janel's new awesome house and than went to Thatcher for the weekend. Had a great time! I love Thatcher and especially spending time witht the family. Kameron had to find ways to entertain himself while I helped decorate and went and saw twlight. But he did get to go shooting so it was a good trip for the both of us.

This is our Second Christmas already! Seriously time is flying by so fast!

This is the fireplace decorations that my Mom so generously provided for me last year that I couldn't look at until This year. It was a great idea cause I felt like I was opening up early christmas presents!

Kameron likes to get a real christmas tree and I have to say the tradition is growing on me. I love the decorations. It's simple but it brings the feeling of christmas to our little home. But life is going good. School is wrapping up for Kameron which he is so happy about. We are going to Cottonwood for christmas and than we'll go down to Mesa after Kameron works for a little while on Friday. And Brianna is coming for Christmas!! Whooo!!! It feels like our family lives across the world from eachother, oh wait we do! Haha. Someday hopefully everyone can live on the main land so we can be ALL together more than once every couple years. Merry Christmas to Everyone and have a Happy New Year!

So much to tell

I feel like blogging is a journal. I procrastinate and than forget the details and too much goes by it's hard too tell it all. So I'll do my best. My job is going good. I'm the front desk at a chiropractic office. Yeah sounds easy...it's Not!! omy there is so much to learn and I serioulsy have not had a moment of down time this whole week. busy busy busy. It's going to take time for me to catch on so I'm not there an hour after I'm suppossed to leave. Don't you hate that! Kameron is doing good in school and is really looking forward to christmas break. Work is going good. And oh man is getting cold!! He learned how to use chains and winter saftey driving. Scary! Driving in the snow is bad enough but in a giant semi!

So they are renovating our apartment complex. I should have taken some pictures but I'm lazy. But they just put in all new windows So that means there was dust everywhere!! All over my Piano! talk about an unhappy katie when she got home from a long hard day at work!!! so we are going to deep clean this weekend. But seriousy the managment have been sending out letters of when certain things will be happening but I must have missed the part where they said you house will be covered in dust! sheesh! "I'm sure it will look so good" is what everyone says. I guess so. Oh and not to mention the paint that got on our cars. Yeah..not happy.

I was a little crafty last weekend. (Kameron seriously watched football alllll weekend. didn't even eat!) which is good because I was gone the whole time looking for supplies. I made a little plaque thing that says Happy Harvest with gold sparkly letters. I really should just take a picture. And I also painted some wooden letters that spelt out KITCHEN. Navy blue and I destressed them. It was fun, but seriously I really need a girl friend to do all that stuff with cause it gets a little lonely. But it was fun!!

Kameron's birthday is this coming wednesday!! Whoohoo! We are going to Cottonwood this weekend. I am going to a women's conference on saturday and than we'll head out. So that should be fun! Have a little party for Kameron and get out of the freezing weather!
But that is pretty much it! Just looking forward to Thanksgiving and getting excited to decorate for Christmas!

I Love Thatcher

So we went to Thatcher this past weekend! We went to Molli's reception which was decorated so beautifully and Molli was breath taking! We drove out to Klondike to find some wood cause my dad built a sauna (which was awesome, took me back to Canada) and we found this little place that was so pretty. Still waiting on some pictures my mom took. And Hannah did my hair which turned out great. And we went out to Gabby's cafe to hear Nick play in band. So here are some pictures!...
Me out at Klondike
The little stream we found out at Klondike. Didn't even know this was out there till last Saturday!

This is my newest neice! Paige. What a doll! I'm not just saying that. She is like a cuddly like buddle of happiness. Love her!!!!!

Me and Julie at Gabby's cafe. Hannah (my sister in law) was having her 10 year High School reunion and Nick (my brother) played in a band for the party so we went to hear them and Julie came with her boyfriend and later Allison (Hannah's sister) and her husband Brian came. It was sooo much fun! And Nick was AWESOME!

Above the couch. I just like this for some reason.

We had a great confrence weekend. And as you can see I've been remodleing for fall! So much fun! Still a few things that I need to do. Like make polka-dots for my pumpkin. But that will have to wait until Halloween gets a little closer. Kameron's family came down for confrence and we got to go to Metor Crater. If you want more detail go to my family's blog "Forced Family Fun" I'm too lazy to type everything again. :) But life has been good. Still looking forward to the trip to Thatcher!! And I got another piano student. So now I'm up to Three. That's good news since I'm thinking I might want to go to massage therapy school. I still have some research to do so we'll see what happens...Kam is still plugging away at school and work. Oh and it's so cold here. I had a thick layer of Ice on the truck this morning. I'm suprised I made it to work alive. But it's windy and just coold! and it's only October! uh oh. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Getting ready for fall!

So we went to Mesa this past weekend. Went to the temple and I was able to go to Molli's bridal shower!! It was soo much fun seeing my friends! I hadn't seen them since May. It's like I saw them every day for 3 years and than all the sudden I never see them. So sad. But they all were doing really good and I'm so excited for Molli! She is getting married October 17th. So we'll be heading up to Thatcher so I can go to the reception. And we had a fun time at Janel's. We had tacos and I got to experience dinner at Janel's house. Way more eventful than mine that's for sure!! But we stayed up and played Guitar Hero and her singing game, Karaoke and Rock Band. Even Kameron joined it!! I had so much fun I am thinking I need to get some of those games! And Janel's house is so cute it inspired me to start decorating for fall. So I scrounged up some money and hit up the dollar store and walmart (it's amazing what good stuff you can find!) It's kind of a work in progress so I will try to get some pictures up soon. But it's been really fun decorating for it that I got excited for Christmas decorating!! I find myself singing christmas songs every once in a while...haha. Kameron is working hard and going to school. There really isn't any breaks until Thanksgiving so we are in for the long haul! So I am thinking I just need to get a better attitude about my job cause I really do have a good situation I just need to deal with the job in general and stick it out I think. Cause people just arn't hiring so I need to make do with what I have. If anyone has ideas let me know! What I really need is more piano students! Man it's like people just can't afford that stuff right now or something. Makes me sad. But that's about as exciting as it gets around here. Happy Fall!

The Lake

So we went to Lake Powell this past weekend. We left friday afternoon and Kameron's cousin met us there, poor guy was there an hour before us, so by then we are way pumped to get the boat loaded and head out to find a good camping spot and maybe get some night fishing in. So we have the boat in ready to launch off an it won't start. So the guys try to fix it for a while and think it just needs to be jumped, that doesn't work. So long story short it gets too dark to go anywhere and the boat still isn't working so we just make camp where we are. And we all decided camping is a thing that takes time to conquer. Because we left the lighter in the trunk of our car, didn't bring a can opened...ect.ect. But we had a fun just sitting by the fire talking and the stars were beautiful! The hard sand didn't make for a good nights sleep, but Randy said his felt like Memory Foam....I think not. haha. So in the morning we try to get the boat started...we do get it running! But once we tried to switch gears or something it kept dying. Bummer! Oh and a bunch of stripers start jumping right where we are so it just made the guys go crazy! They gave up on the boat and just fished along the shore for the afternoon. Didn't catch anything though. I just chilled at camp reading and eating candy. haha. It sure was relaxing though. So overall the trip was unsuccessful. But it was fun besides the whole boat not working thing.
