Happy Birthday to Three Wonderful Young Men!

Birthdays, Family, Family Fun, Holidays, Kevin, Kevin and I, Memories, Michael

Today is Michael, Kevin and his dad Mark's birthday!!! They are 95 accumulative years! I'm sure I'll post more later about them, but just want to shout out my love to them today! I have one of the most wonderful father-in-laws you could ask for. Mark is a wonderful example and such a loving caring man. He's always helpful, always listening, and I don't think I've ever heard him speak to or of anyone in frustration. I'm so glad to have him as a father in law, and glad to have him in my family. I know my husband is a better man because of being raised by such a caring gentle father, as I see echo's of Mark in Kevin and the way that he cares for the world…

Where have I been?

Dreams, Family, Family Fun, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Move to Utah, Travel, Vacation

OK, if Kevin did this, it would be an entirely different landscape, but here's mine, I've been all over the West having grown up in Utah, and lived in Idaho as a baby, and then there's the 6 years in Texas, and the drives between Utah and Texas (we mostly flew), both the Kansas route, and the New Mexico route, personal preference, I like the southwest route. In the near future I'll add Oregon and Washington. Kevin served his mission in Portland Oregon, so we hope to make a trip back there soon since our family vacation time no longer needs to be spent to SEE family. :) visited 12 states (24%)Create your own visited map of The United States Oh yeah, and sad as it is, I've never left…

Merrily we roll along…

Life is just going along. This week was a busy one. This week Kevin finally had his training for his new job (they threw him into it for the last two months without the formal training), and spent most of the days at work training, towards the ends of the work-days he was still responsible for his normal work routine, so he kept positively busy. The week began with Kevin taking a pre-test for one of his classes, and cramming for the following exam, on Wednesday he took and passed his Microsoft OS XP Certification Exam, Kevin said that some people told him that if he could use Microsoft OS, he'd be fine, but he had to study hard, and it was more complicated than it sounded. On Thursday Kevin…

re-cap of the last two months Part II

We celebrated Aiden's 4th birthday! We had Aiden's Birthday party, he decided he wanted a candy mountain cake... That's what it looked like... A mountain of candy. He loved it so that's all that matters. We had a rainbow pinyata, and I think everyone had a great time. We had LOTS of dinners at the Steele's and have enjoyed lots of time with both of our families. One weekend when Mom and Dad Steele were out of town I think, we met up with Kevin's little brother and sister at Arctic Circle and let the kids play, fun times and good shakes. We had our first heavy snow, the boys LOVED going out in playing in it, but haven't been back out really yet, LOL! Sadly I haven't taken any…

re-cap of the last two months Part III

We hosted the annual Andersen Family Christmas party over at the Stake house. I hosted a little studio, but haven't had much of a chance to look over the results. I haven't had much of a chance for any picture stuff... I'd better find some. Joey played Jesus in the Nativity, he was pretty good about it, but I'm pretty sure he was kinda confused about all the fuss and costumes. My identity was stolen. Yuck. We had a wonderful Christmas. I was giddy over my gift for my brother (we draw names in my family) I got him a little foam airplane (think the kind Aiden would adore), and three t-shirts. He opened it and tried to look thrilled. Hahaha! I'm so mean! Then I said "oh yeah, there's…

I’m here!

Aiden, Family Fun, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Me, Move to Utah, Pictures, To new beginnings

OK, I've been a slacker, but I'm having fun! Doing photos (still taking sessions, call me), having birthday's and birthday parties, Christmas prep, and just all around having a blast with our families. Throw in a migraine or 10 (3 me, 7 Kevin) and that just about sums it up. Oh, other than the job, that's going well, Kevin really likes the new guys, don't get me wrong, (in case anyone's reading this from Baylor) nobody could replace his Baylor people, but this is another GREAT group of people, and I think he's beginning to feel like he could really fit in. They certainly have a great sense of humor. :) Bug me about pics if you wanna see them, cause I don't know if it's going to happen otherwise,…

Waiting, waiting, waiting…

Family, Kevin, Me, Move to Utah

I miss my hubby. He should be here soon. A few hours ago I was talking to Nate, who's helping us move and is currently driving the U-Haul with Kevin, and the phone cut out. We haven't had communication since... I'm sure his phone died, but in true wifey fashion, I'm nervous and worried. I hope they realized it died and decided to drive through, or if they stop they think to use a pay phone. They should be around 6 hours of driving away now, if they don't stop to catch up on sleep, which would be fine with me as long as they're safe and not sleep driving... I don't like waiting. It makes me nervous. OK, we're off to go see The Steele's. :) Update 8:30, I…

Bella and Edward in Utah

OK, maybe not all together, LOL! Wednesday morning Joseph, Aiden and Michael set out on our trip up to Utah. We got on our first flight without too much stress (heaven bless whoever invented a good double stroller), and we sat down to get settled on our first flight (that's right, we had a layover) As soon as I was settled a Man came down the isle with a little girl and a wife with a baby girl. As soon as they sat down the woman started hyperventilating and stressing about a flight with two kids... Um yeah lady, I had to bite my tongue to not tell her to find 4 more kids, or add a kid and loose the husband, and then complain... Soon after we took off the husband asked me why I'd fly alone with…

Halloween Costumes

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family, Family Fun, Games, Health Concerns, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures, The end is near

In the spirit of blogging, and since I'm so picture obsessed, it's only fair, regardless of other circumstances, to share some Halloween snapshots. Friday was the day we made our final decisions on the job and move, so it was a BIG day in many ways! We went to the ward "Trunk-or-treat," and had a great time. Michael was our "Soccer 'ball' Player" I got the outfit at the AF DI, on our trip last month, and hoped he'd latch onto the "basketball player" idea, he didn't, after three weeks of 5 different ideas a week, we went to Traders Village, and ran across some soccer balls, he decided he wanted to be a "Soccer 'ball' Player" (the "ball" addition all his own), but when it came down to time…

We’re Moving!

Dreams, Family, Family Fun, Kevin, Life in Texas, Move to Utah

And this isn't just a move down the block! Kevin has a job offer in Sandy Utah, he's taking it, which means we're moving, and that our kids will get to grow up knowing their grandparents and other extended family!! We're beyond thrilled. Edited to answer a few Questions people are having~ He'll roughly be doing the job that he was doing before we moved to Houston (new company). He's got 12-18 months of school left before his Bachelors (depending on what he takes on each semester), and we're hoping he'll get a promotion once he graduates. It's nearly impossible to be in his current position without a degree, so we've been very blessed, but we've prayed about it and it's definitely time for a change. Amanda, that was one…
