Welcome Spring!

I'm so excited for the warm weather! When I go home for lunch I don't want to go back because it's just too nice outside to be sitting indoors! I guess that's what the weekends are for right? Speaking of weekends, we went down to Mesa for Wyatt's Baptism! I can't believe how old all of Janel's kids are getting. Time just flys!

This coming weekend my Mom, Janel, and I are headed to Provo, UT to visit Emily. I hate leaving Kameron all by himself, but with the NCAA championship going on he might be okay without me. Oh and the 10 page report he has to do. I guess it's always good to go away, makes you realize how much you love what you have. :)

So I feel like my pregnancy is in full swing. This morning sickness (or should I call it all day, any day sickness) is going strong. I'm deffinatly not complaining, but sometimes it really is hard. You're sick because your stomach is empty but half hour after you eat you wish you wouldn't have. What's up with that? I just need to make sure I don't get dehydrated! Oh and what's up with food cravings? It's more like food hating? One minute I'm like yeah that sound good and the next I've changed my mind. And I've always looved grilled chicken, but not these days. Makes my stomach flip upside down just thinking about it. We are so excited though! I told Kameron it's like watching grass grow. In the movies the person gets pregnant and the next minute she's got a belly and going into labor. Not so much in real life. But I've always been a little impatient...just so excited!
I don't really have any pictures to post just a lot of thoughts going through my head. Hopefully I take some pictures in Utah. I'm deffinatly not looking forward to the eight hour drive, but it'll be so fun to get away and enjoy some good quality girl time!

Good News!

So we have some GOOD NEWS! We're Pregnant! It's been a long hard road until now, but everything happens for a reason and we are stronger for it. I am 8 weeks and the Doctor says everything looks good! Due date is October 18th. We are soo excited and so grateful for this wonderful blessing. It really is a miracle!

Snow Storm of 2010

Here are some Pictures of Flagstaff's snow storm this past week...

This was Thursday

Kam is making a funny face because the snow blows and it is wet and reallly cold.

Me in the snow, it came to my waist! Crazy! This is on Saturday Morning.

Kameron in the snow

The view to our front door
We decided to dig an igloo under that big pile by our door. It was pretty cool.
So besides having to dig ourselves out all the time and getting water everywhere in the house it wasn't too bad. Oh and the driving home from work on Friday at noon (I wasn't staying any later!) yeah driving in a blizzard and not even knowing if you're on your side of the road was one of The scariest driving experiences! Kameron had the day off on Friday thank goodness. He would have just been driving around in a blizzard!
One of the bad things was all the flat roofs in Flagstaff! There were several buildings that collapsed. Joann's, bookman's, little Cesar's! And some more and other were sagging. I think the snow has finished for now until Tuesday, probably just get some flurries...hopefully!

First Post of Twenty-Ten!

I have been meaning to blog for a while, but just kept putting it off and now I can't remember everything that's been going on! I do know that I didn't take any pictures over the holiday really...bummer. oh well maybe next year? Christmas was good, went to Cottonwood and Mesa. So good to be with family! Than for new years we went to Thatcher and stayed there for the weekend. We havn't been there since July! Too long. But the drive is horendous. And I'm not even sure that's how you spell it but it was worth putting in there! I wish it was only 3 hours even. Poor little Thatcher, down in the middle of nowhere. But it's fun to go and just get out the normal routine. So for Christmas Janel, my awesomely creative and good at whatever she tries sister, made us all these adorable aprons! And they're reversible! So cute!

School has started back up! Boo! The sooner it stars the sooner it's over I guess. My medical coding class starts in the next two weeks. It's been a while since I've sat in a classroom. A little nervous....But it should be good. Kameron is taking electrical systems, masonry, physics 2, and construction architectural...something like that. Besides that and work it's really what we are up to these days. We are in the big decision making process of The Door Shop. It's a very big adult decision and is being turned upside down inside out and everywhere in between. I think we've come up with, try to do it and if everything is falling apart and just seems impossible we won't do it. But we have to move forward somehow so we'll try to do it and if it doesn't work out it wasn't meant to be. It is defiantly a life changing decision though.

So other than life altering career choices we've just been surviving the cold, which we both decided we arn't big fans of. But it's not forever. Kameron is enjoying teaching is 13 year old sunday school class. He understands their behavior because he says he knows he was just like that too. Haha. Any who this post is getting long. If anyone has any business advice we are all ears. But we do know that when it comes down to it we have to make the choice on our own. I'll keep you updated....

December Days

Our Christmas tree
So we are into December already...We're all ready for Christmas. Just have to get through one more day of work! Kameron had his hunt, sadly he didn't get anything. His dad did end up getting a nice bull. So it was a success! Kameron got strait A's this semester! What a smartie! We got our first big snow storm last week or so. Got stuck a couple of times, but nothing too serious.
My medical coding class starts in January and Kam is all signed up for spring semester at NAU. School and work...We are excited for the break for the holidays. Should be fun being with family and all that good stuff.

Kameron and the other guys went out hunting. I didn't do any camping, but did come out for dinner one night.


I forgot to post this video from Thanksgiving. We went to this frisbee golf course and there were these giant trees so of course the boys decided to see if they can jump over them...So here's Kameron.....

Happy Birthday!

So it was Kameron's birthday on the 12th! We had pizza and wings and Kam got a couple of fun things. I made him a dolphins blanket and he got a FM transmitter that is synced with his phone and plays his music over his radio in the car. Pretty cool.

Dolphins Blanket

FM transmitter

Okay so I got a new calling...primary piano player! So here is me practicing my skills before we head off to church. It's a fun calling, and harder than I thought. But it should be good.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving this weekend and for Kam's hunt. It'll be nice to get a little break from work. It's getting pretty chilly here in Flagstaff, but no snow just yet. Which is okay with me! Life is good!

Buildings and Halloween

Hello! So this Halloween had some fun things going on. Kam is taking some construction class and he had to pick a dream home, write up the blue prints and than make a model of it! How fun! Lots of work too! So on Saturday we started working on this house at 7:30 am and stopped at 7:45 that night! And I think we took one break to go to Michael's to get supplies. But here are the stages....
Stage one: Cutting cardboard
Stage Two: Putting the cardboard together to make a two story house
Stage Three: Painting and Porches

Final Stage: Roof, Landscape and trying not to be distracted by the world series going on in the background (actually had to turn it off :)

The Back

The Front

It was a lot of fun actually and took until monday night at 10pm to finnish. Hopefully Kameron gets a good grade for how much hard work it took!
So I wanted to post some halloween things, my little ghost is think is cute. I got the ghost from Kam's mom and I had some spray paint and wood laying around.

And I just wanted to take a picture of this little pumpkin I got. I thought it was so cute! Just fits in the palm of your hand. So Cute!

We had a craft day for reliefe society and I got to make a sign with our last name and firsts names on it with the est. june 22,2007 on it. I really like how it turned out! Vinyl is so much fun!
Oh and these are my cupcakes. Why is that things seen on the internet or in books always look better there than when you actually try to make it yourself? Atleast that is the way it is for me sometimes. Lets just say these were A Lot harder than I thought they were going to be. Egor back there, the green wasn't bright enough but it was too late, and the little devils were a random idea. Haha but it was fun. And I think it is important to have the right tools to do cake decorating. And of course they were good to eat!
Last picture is of last week. It got super cold on wednesday and actually ended up snowing! yay. I just wasn't prepared to have to scrape my car off after work, but you do what you have to right? Just a prep for later this year I guess. But it has warmed back up so all the snow is gone and I'm going to enjoy that last few warm, snow-free days.
So things are going good. Kameron is ready for the semester to be over and itching for his elk hunt which is coming up on Thanksgiving. He and Cade are out scouting any chance they get. I'm getting nervous for my medical coding class coming up in January. My facts job (an afterschool program for flagstaff schools) is going good. A little frustrating sometimes, but it's good. Kameron is doing great in school! He has gotten the top test grade a couple of times in his one class! We are still trying to hold off turning on our heater, so we get all bundled up at home and than when we go somewhere we get all hot cause it's really not That cold. Yet....
