Dinner at Wendy's is always fun with the Family and lots of friends. Jenny did an awesome job on Kiah's Birthday cake. I love everthing that my sisters do. They are artists in their own way and it is so much fun and enjoyable to see what each sister comes up with. After dinner Wendy took us all to her class room. I think I am more excited for Wendy to start being a teacher than she is. She had tons of stuff laminated that we had fun cutting out and getting her all ready for Monday. I miss going to school but am having fun learning new things everyday at work and at home. It was fun taking a walk down memory lane with my sisters.
Working on an idea and having fun
I am having so much fun. Mom called me the other night and had me look up somethings on ebay and of course I was more than happy to. She told me that I need to start crocheting my miniatures and start selling them. The last crochet miniature that sold on ebay was $50.00 shipping included. SO I am going to use the money that I get from selling my miniatures to get us out of debt. Here is a start, neither of the bears are finished but getting closer to it. I love the white fuzzy Christmas bear.
WE HAVE BEEN BUSY!!!!!!

Moving July 29, 2008
Lastnight at work our department had to move to a different area of the building so I was going through some of my stuff to make the move easier and I found this. I absolutely love this picture of Jason and me. I sure is fun being married to your best friend. This is another one of my favorite pictures that MOM took. The boganvilla behind us was totally colorful. That is one thing I miss about the Lehi house was mom taking pictures of us kids in front of the boganvilla. Fun memories. Yesterday my team gave me a beautiful plant with flowers on it and a card telling me how sorry they were for my families loss. It was so nice of them. I really have a good team at work and the best boss in the whole building. She's great!!!
I like my new desk. I was able to work really hard today and it is alway fun when I enter in all the stuff that I have done, at the end of the day on my productivity spreadsheet, and see what kind of a percentage I got. Today it was over 107% which make me and my boss happy!!!!! I can definitely see Heavely Father's hand in my life by the hour. I am truely blessed.....

Mom's and My Idea!!!!
Our trip to PAYSON for the 4th of July
For the 4th we went up to Payson to visit Jason's parents and get to spend time with them. It poured all day and night. We left before the fireworks went off. We had to get back. Jason had paper route the next morning. We were able to see the fireworks on the way down though which was really fun. These are pictures that I took of him opening his fun presents that his family gave him for his birthday. He is so funny and cute. It is never a dull moment being married to him. His brother Matt in the top left picture looks exactly like Jason, they really could be twins. Kinda funny. Jason's brother Ben's boys were able to come up and spend some time with us. It was fun having them there.

JASON
Jason loves to play the GUITAR. He recently had his two minute composition played before a live orchestra for one of his finals. It was awsome! I was able to take off work to go and see it:) He does short sound tracks for his brother in law Julio's art animations. He also loves working on projects especially his own compositions.
About Us
I am obsessed with the fiber arts meaning crocheting, tatting, knitting and soon to be felting. I love to stay busy with projects. I recently finished two huge projects of crocheting baby receiveing blankets for Kanon and Emme. I am anxious to start Christmas presents. My favorite time of year is Christmas. I love it so much. I love working all year long making gifts for those few moments of excitement that I get to see in my family member's faces when they receive a special gift that I have made for them. I do this to let my family know how much I love and appreciate all the they do for me. I learn so much from each individual. We are so thankful for all the talents that Heavenly Father has given to each of us.
We love our Savior JESUS CHRIST. He is the CENTER of our LIVES. We know that HE LIVES and LOVES all of his children more than we can possibly understand.
I am so thankful for the scriptures. My favorite so far is the Book of Mormon. I still need to study the other books of canon more then I will feel the same for them also. I have a deep appreciation for Joseph Smith and his family,for everything that they did and went through to bring the Book of Mormon to us today. My Favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon are 3 Nephi 11-17 when the Savior appears the Nephites and the people love to be with him all the time, he blesses the sick and the sweet little children. They are so sad to see him leave. One of my favorite verses in the Book of Mormon is 2 Nephi 31:20 "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life. I love this scripture because it tells you everything you need to do in order to return back home to live with Heavenly Father and the Savior again. I don't know of anything more important in this life than that. I am so indebted the them both for giving me such an wonderful life and a loving family who I get to be with for eternity. Words can not describe the gratitude that I feel for my Savior and the great Atonement that he made for all of us so that we might be forgiven of our sins and have some hope of returning back to him. I am very humbled by this.
