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…

Well, at least we know he loves primary!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Me, Memories, Move to Utah

This morning Aiden happened to be the first one ready, the rest of us where almost there, but not quite yet. Aiden used to have a running away problem, but with the blanket of snow, and a few scoldings he's been pretty good about it. My Dad and one of my brothers left a little early for church for their callings, and we were rushing to finish getting ready when I heard the front door slam. Sure enough Aiden had gone outside. I was standing there barefoot at the door calling for him to come back, he took off. Grr! This does not a happy Mommy make. I called to Kevin hoping he was more ready than me, and he was even worse off than me, and Joey was standing…

re-cap of the last two months Part I

Aiden, Animals, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures

So looking back, it looks like I need to re-cap through the move... We've certainly been having fun, and my computer isn't as centralized as it's been, making computer time more rare and hard to come by. So looking back, it looks like I need to re-cap through the move... This is going to take a few posts, and I'm going to split it and post them fourth to first, so that they read down the page correctly... So... If I ever get around to booking my blog (or whatever they call it) you'll have to skip ahead a couple pages and flip back. Sorry for the inconvenience. Highlights (and lows) since just before the move~ November 1st (the day after we agreed to the new job) we went up…

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…

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,…

Getting settled!

Yay! We're getting settled in here, thanks so much to those who helped unload the U-Haul last night! JD, Dallin, Mark, My Dad, Nate, and Kevin. And thanks to Mom and Jared for watching the boys while I directed on the truck. We REALLY appreciate your help!

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

Aiden, Baby Joey, Bella and Edward, Church, Family, Family Fun, Health Concerns, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Twilight

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…

Our last date in Texas!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Dreams, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures

So lastnight we were able to get out on the town one last time. Last Christmas Kevin was drawn for a gift card for Trevesio's for $100! Sweet deal! The first time Kevin gave me a tour of the Med center was right after they finished the water fountains there, and we walked up to the top and peeked into the restaurant and said "I hope we can eat here someday, that would be a lot of fun!" He's had a couple work lunches there but they were more of a "here's a platter, pick what you like" format. Well being 9 months pregnant last Christmas, and me being miserable it just didn't happen while we had two kids. Then with marathon nursing around the clock, and several other big…
