Is it already fall?

Hello! So we've been doing some fun things these past couple of months with family. I'm trying to keep things in order but I forget so I'll do my best. We went up to Utah for Kameron's cousin, Randy's wedding. Jason, Ava and Mom came up to Flagstaff and we went to Snowbowl, the ski lift in the winter. We had the Johnson reunion with Kameron's family during Labor Day. We had a going away party for Nick (moving to Hawaii for school) and Emily (going to BYU Provo) And the most recent, Kam and I went to provo for a Florida State vs BYU game in Provo and we got to see Emily. Lots of driving these past months, but we've been having a lot of fun!!
Coming up, we just have our visit to the temple and looking forward to the upcoming holidays and cold weather....

Here is the Family Picture taken at the Cabin. It's like 20 minutes outside of Heber called Forest Lakes.

I'm not sure what this is but we took at this visitors center. Lots of Trees!


Oh...We were just goofing around at Kameron's grandparents house when we went to the Wedding.

Here are some snowbowl Pictures. I wasn't a big fan of the heights and Ava was being so funny. She wants Jason to carry her up these hills and it was just so funny!

I didn't really want to take this picture...Too High!!

Here is all the gals at Janel's house where we had the party. It was fun just being together...I don't know why everyone has to move so far, but one of these days we'll get everyone together.

Here is Kameron and I at the game. I was So fun being at the game and feeling the energy at the game!!! We were the minority so that was interesting. Every single seat was sold out! So the statum was packed!

Kameron sport'n his FSU spirit!

The final score..FSU won! Yay! Sure made the eight hour drive extra worth it.

Emily, Kameron and I went out to dinner and took a stroll around the block. It's so pretty in Provo. Lots of cars and people but it's a really pretty place.

Me and Kameron

We are still just working and Kameron is going to school. He has some fun classes this semester. He got to pick a dream house, copy the blue prints and they are going to make a mini model of the house. How cool is that! I am looking into a medical coding class that will start up in January and try to fit in an online anatomy class to prep my brain that has taken a break from school. Yikes. We are teaching the 13 year old class in church. Guess we graduated from Nursury whoohoo! We like our new ward, we are going to be speaking in church this Sunday actually. Oh and I've also got another piano student and I am starting an afternoon job at an elementary school. Just kind of something to do while Kameron is at school. Life is keeping us busy!!

Minnesota!!

It's been a while since the Blog has been updated. We've got all settled into our new place and took the long awaited trip to Minnesota! We flew out early Saturday morning and landed around noon. We stayed at a hotel Saturday and Sunday and drove to our cabin on Monday. While we were in Minneapolis we went to the temple, went to Mall of America and went to a really cool museum. Oh and we ate at Applebee's twice! So here are some of the pictures....

St.Paul/Minneapolis Temple. Mom, Kameron and I did an afternoon session. There were only like 10 people in session, much smaller than a Saturday afternoon at the Mesa temple. But it we had a good time and I'm glad we got to go.

Mall of America!!

So fun! There were some crazy rides and I don't know if it's because I'm a year older or what but I could only ride half of what I used to be able to do! But it was so much fun shopping too!!! I loved shopping there. Had to have a lot of self control, but it was amazing!

The Museum

Here is Kameron and I with a moose head.

And Kameron in the fish section.

Us with the Bear

Ava and "Hedwig"

There was a snake you could touch and an albino squirrel and goat, dinosaur bones, tons of birds and wildlife and wolves! We had a really fun time there.

So after our fun filled day on Sunday we went to Mall of America one more time cause we didn't really go on Saturday, but than we drove like 2 hours to our cabin on Sandy Lake in the little town of Moose Lake it was outside of Klokay and about an hour from Duluth. Janel got there on Tuesday. We pretty much just fished and swam in the lake in the backyard! And we went to Digger's house for some BBQ's and music. We also got to go drive in monster trucks in the mud! It was really loud but it was fun to be with family and just have a good time!

The Family!!

Monster Trucks!

Jason, Kameron and Mark

Sisters!

Fishing!!

Here are some fish we caught. There were paddle boats and we had a fishing boat we could go out on. And the paddle boats actually worked really good, just all the paddling...But we mostly caught northern pike, small mouth bass and a couple rock bass, crappie and I caught a small perch. We also went fishing on the river. Kameron caught some feisty bass but other than that we just got the experience of fishing on the river.

The northers have really sharp teeth and they are really slimy! So you have to be careful. Early Saturday morning we took a trip out with Dad's cousin and caught a boat full of pike. There is a monster pike out there because it took me under the boat, Mom and Dad all on different outings, but it just cut the line and we could never see it or catch it!! We need to go back to catch it!

On Saturday we had a mini family reunion because the majority of us left on Sunday.

Here are the kiddos..who are growing up so fast it's crazy!!

And here is a picture of everyone there on Saturday.

It was so much fun being with family and Minnesota is just beautiful!! I wish we could live by the water like that and all the green!! I just don't know about the winters...yikes. I can't wait to go back again (hopefully sooner this time)!!

Update...

We are in our new place! Moving is so much work. Kameron and I have been so tired these last couple of days cause we working so stinking hard!! I think because we just moved across town we didn't pack everything just kind of put stuff in our cars it made for a lot of loads. But I think we've finally got settled. And cleaning our last place made me realize I need to step it up a notch with the whole cleaning my house thing. We like our new place though. Lots of storage and we get our box spring for our bed back! Here our just some pictures of our new place...

Family Room

Dining/Piano

I just had to take a picture of the cute wreath I got for my Birthday. Thanks Mom!

We got this entertainment center for super cheap which is awesome! We've deffinatly accumulated way too many big pieces of furniture so our motto now is if we get anything new, something old has to go!

It's nice living on the other side of town because it's closer to work. I'm sad to be leaving our ward and since we got released from nursery I got to spend time in relief society and I am going to miss it so much! But apartment living is just meant to have a lot of moving and change involved. Can't wait for a house!
And,

Here are some pictures of Lake Roosevelt. We went the weekend of my birthday! yea! 21! It was a great way to spend my day!! We met up with Janel and the kids and Jason. Janel made chicken kabobs (that she accidentally dropped on the ground! A little sand never hurt anyone right?) But it was so fun being the kids and down below I'll explain the kangaroo-rat A.K.A. Rat-Kangaroo. But mom, dad and Emily and Trent showed up that morning. And Jason made breakfast burros and we just had a fun time riding on the boat and playing in the water and getting some sun! Oh and of course Kam and I went fishing that morning. Kam caught 3 or 4 I think. All a nice size too! He was using a topper frog thing so you got to see the fish snatch the bate it was really cool! All in all it was a great weekend!!

Kam wake boarding

Kameron and his fish

These little monkeys had a blast camping and making lots of noise :)

Sadie and Jason eating dinner and yummy smores

So Jason was snacking on peanuts and all of the sudden this mouse comes out and is just munching away. Well Ava was freaking out "It's a rat-Kangaroo" over and over. Not realizing she was saying it backwards. I felt bad cause I think those things live in Australia?? She saw it in a magazine. Haha it was so funny though and the mouse was soo cute!

Me and miss Ava.

June 22,2007-June 22,2009

Today is our Two Year Anniversary!! It's gone by so fast, but we have changed so much! Kameron has been the right hand I've missed all my life. He knows how I think even when I don't know what I think. I couldn't have found a better match for myself. He's such a hard worker and so much fun! I am so glad we have eternity together because just life on earth would Never be long enough.
Here are some pics of my wonderful husband!

Just a thought...

So we are moving at the end of this month and I am starting to look at my surroundings and the apartment we will be leaving soo. There was a couple that lived in our quad of townhomes. They had like 4 or 5 wiener dogs which you could hear throught the wall, but nontheless we were neighbor friends. The kind that you see and smile and say hi but never go beyond that. Well yesterday I was walking by and I look over and their place is empty! Should I care? I've never held a convorsation with these people, yet a part of me feels caught unaware. They left and didn't tell me! Just like that. Our doggy neighbors are gone from our life never to be seen or heard from again. Just makes you kind of sad how quickly people come and go from our lives.

Lake Roosevelt!!

We went to the lake...again! It was so much fun!! Kameron and I stayed the night in the boat! on Friday and got rained out on Saturday. Didn't even stay past 8:30AM it was raining so much! So we drove to Thatcher and hung out there until Sunday afternoon and Kam and I drove to the lake to find a good camping spot. I even had to drive the boat by myself while Kam went and drove the truck to a different dock! So we camped out and than the DeRusha clan came up during the day on Saturday. Kameron wanted to get some good fishing in since we got rained out. And boy did he catch some monsters! It was so fun being with everyone on the boat. And wakeboarding and trying out the tube thing. Wasn't a big fan but it was fun to see the little kids get so excited! So much fun!! Just so many memories that come with the smell of the boat and the lake. I hope we always can go to the lake! Can't wait to do it again!!

So the top two are of our sleeping arrangment on the boat. We got there late and had to hurry cause it got dark and we wernt prepared to drive the boat at night. Yeah didn't sleep very good but something I can say I've done. And the other is us getting rained on. A lot.

Oh just a side note, I forgot our pillows, matches for the lantern, cream cheese for our breakfast, and I didn't have a rain jacket. Thankgoodness it didn't rain that Saturday night! And I need to take more pictures! :)

Kameron caught about 4 fish. One on saturday and the others on Saturday morning. A couple got away from him but overall it was a great fishing trip!

Other news: We have decided to move across town. No price change which stinks but we will get our box spring and have a place that actually fits our washer and dryer!! We move the end of June. Before we know it we will by flying to Minnesota dontchya know! Time is just flying. I'm just glad we get to spend it with family!!
