Graduation

After four years I have recieved my masters degree in elementary education. No more long drives to Roosevelt and no more trying to fit homework in between naps, sleep, and kids.
To walk in we listen to bag pipes. It was really cool. This in Allan and Alex watching us walk in.


After the ceremony. I was really impressed with the speakers. Usually they are pretty good but sometimes they are not. The speakers talk about stuff that we could take with us in the future.

Donovan though the hat was pretty cool and Alex will be Alex. He really doesn't like pictures unless it is his idea.

North Fork

This is a little out of order. I don't know what happend. This is Alex showing me his Elk poop.
Grandpa Kit and Donovan looking for gold.


Pictures with Grandma. Donovan's is really cute but no so much with Alex. We tried more wtih Alex but he was going to do that.

Here is a picture the best you are going to get. Don't as how far along because I couldn't tell you. I am due in July.
My mom and Kit came out for the weekend. A long drive for a short trip but I was sure glad to see them after the day I had. We went to Duchesne real fast to unlock my car and then headed up North Fork. We made it to the end. I couldn't believe how warm it was and how bright green the trees were. It was beautiful. We got some wonderful pictures. I think I need to invest in some kind of photo program so that I can do touch up or turn them black and white. Mom got the boys pictures frames that talked and wanted to put pictures of her and them in them so we tried to get some good pictures. I think we have a few million.
Alex was only interested in throwing rocks in the water. He was not going to take any pictures no matter what we tried. But we got a few. It is amazing how different they boys are. One like pictures the other one hates them.

I told Donovan I was going to blow this one up and he became kind of worried. I thought it was funny.

If only Alex was looking but at least he was in the picture.
As we walked further up we found animal droppings and Kit was teaching the kids about what animals did what. Alex took it to heart and picked up lots of Elk poop. I thought it was funny that he wanted to carry it around and play with like it was a rock. It was pretty funny.

Is it over yet?

So, I have to go get my blood sugar tested. But to do so you have to fast. Fasting when you are pregnant is not something I enjoy doing. I want to eat when I want to eat. Anyways that means I have to wake up at 5:00am to get to Roosevelt by 7:00am drink nasty tasting koolaid, hang out for an hour just so I can get to work by 8:30am. Great plan but when you have everything planned out it never works, or at least not for me. I have everything ready to go because were going to go to SLC tonight after I was done working and pick up some things before my family came to visit. We leave pretty close to time and about 10 minutes before I get to Duchesne I hit a deer. Luckly, no one was hurt and I could still drive my car into Duchesne. Also luckly Allan had his truck in Duchesne so I continue on my adventures.
Everything ran late from there and nothing worked out according to plan. After hitting a deer I wasn't going to go to SLC because my car wouldn't make it and I really don't enjoy driving Allan's truck. Donovan and Alex are both grouchy because they had to be up so early. I am tired and stressed out because of everything that I have to do. And did you know if you want your insurance to claim stuff you have to report hitting a deer so they can verify that is the cause of damage on your vehicle? Needless to say the damage is going to cost at least $1000.00 dollars if not more and who knows when it will be fixed. The joys of hitting a deer. It ruins everything. Oh and just to make matters worst I thought I got everything out of my car but I didn't. The suit case that has everything in it is still in the car. Being so mine boggled that my plans are ruined I didn't think about going to the store.

Our House

After what seemed like forever we have offically moved. Many packed boxes and suitcases we did it. We moved about three weeks ago when all the snow was falling. Lots of mud and many times cleaning over again but we did it.


Our garage was the storage place for everything and we have windled it down to this and another pile. Which I think is good. It is hard finding places for everything.

The fireplace is finally in and working. Yes, we have a fire in it now. Allan has to use it before it is too late or gets too warm. It is nice and will save us a ton of money heating this house.

I tried to get more pictures but you will just have to come see my house. Come visit me. Just realize it might not be spotless but it is home and it works for now until we find everything a place.



Dancing Alex

This is Alex. It took him a while to get warmed up to the idea of dancing but he caught on fast.

Dancing Donovan

This is for Allan. He is in Layton for the week. We were at one of his buddies wedding and Donovan was having blast. Alex's video will be next. Quite funny!

A little Crazyness

Well, I offically think I am crazy and probably my husband thinks I am too. We moved this weekend. Sorry to all those that wanted to help. I wasn't sure we were going to move so I didn't gather anyone. Poor, Allan had to move everything by himself. I helped a little but nothing much but packing boxes. Anyways we are in the house (not finished) but we are in it. This way I can watch the progress and when I can't sleep at least I can get something cleaned in the house. I will post pictures when I can.
Since we moved we have no internet, no phone, and no tv. Yes! No tv. Allan is a little worried but did you know that living in a big house is expensive. Especially when some workers don't know how to shut the door.
Last night we lost Alex for 20 minutes. No worry he was in the house the problem was where? We could here him and he wasn't anywhere he shouldn't be (because I looked there first). It was very intersting and very funny trying to find him. I didn't look hard but I still looked. He wouldn't come out and Donovan the great brother he is was very worried but relaxed after I said it was like hide and seek.
