Hey what's goin on? Well these past couple weeks have been fun...we've experience real living in the snow. Driving and the aftermath. Seriously the snow just starts to melt and it's cold it freezes. But it's all good. Oh and the pictures down below are of the melting snow off our house and than it freezes so you get these really cool iceicles (sp?) we had a humongous one! But Kameron broke it off before I could get a picture. And we went to Mesa last weekend for a friends weeding. It was so fun going to the temple and being there for a wedding. My second wedding to be at, but my first in the mesa temple, which will always just be a special place for me cause of our wedding day. But we had a great time with friends and the reception was beautiful! Oh and I got to meet up with the girls! And that saturday we went rifle shooting with Julie her boyfriend and some other people. It was fun! I am not really in to shooting a rifle though. The noise is just too loud! Anyways we just hung out in mesa talked with my mom and brother till after midnight for two nights in a row! Thank goodness we got to sleep in. And now we are just back to the grind. Working and school. Our next fun thing is Lake Mead in the beginning of April so we've got a while till we see a good break.

Kameron just chilli'n. Literally, it just cost to much to keep our place warm so we have to bundle up!

Us at the reception. Kameron was one of the best men. He looked Soo handsome!

The Girls!

Christmas 2008

Christmas! Well this year we went to the Johnson's in Cottonwood, got up at 4:00 AM...yes I think we got up earlier than my 5 year old nephew. But that's OK cause I got to take a lot of naps during the day. But we had a great time. Just played with new toys and hanging out. And I can't believe I put this picture up cause I look like I got up before the sun, oh wait I did, but I have to show off My Guitar Hero! World Tour! I have the most wonderful husband! I seriously havn't wanted a "toy" like that in a long time. I just kept wishing it would show up, and it did!! yay!



And than Kameron and I went to work on Friday, another day another dollar, and then headed off to Mesa to be with the DeRusha fam. My parents just got a new office/house on power and baseline so we stayed there, acutally my brother Jason is going to live there also so we will be getting to spend more time with him which I'm very happy about! And we went over to Janel's and had Lunch and did presents. I even saw some cousins I havn't seen in ages! And us four girls sang an awesome arrangment of slient night for our parents. It was so fun to sing like that again. Oh and Brianna came for christmas too..we are just missing Nate :( still hanging out in Korea. But this summer we will all be meeting up in Minnesota for our family reunion!!!!!!

So anywho that was our christmas celebration, and for new years we just stayed in Flag and hung out with the family that live here. I can't believe it's 2009 but I am glad for the new year to start over and hopefully have a great year!

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

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!
