So...

Yeah. I never found my camera. I havent taken any pictures in over a month. I am distraught(sp?) about it. I don't really have the funds to buy a new one right now, but I need to take pictures of the latest happenings. I have had a busy month. If any of you care I will give you the low down. FYI- there are no pictures to document any of this.

I went to girls camp two weeks ago. I was there for the entire week. I have to say, I had a great time. It was so nice to have 5 minutes for myself. The young women were so well behaved and we hardly had any problems. We had a death in our ward while we were gone and it was really hard on all of us but it turned out really good as it gave us an opportunity to teach the young women about the resurrection, eternal families, etc. I think they left with stronger testimonies of the plan of salvation. I know I sure did. We had alot of fun activities to do up on the mountain. The only thing I hated about the whole thing was that it was FREEZING most of the time. Anyone who knows me well knows that I loathe the cold. I don't love being hot, but I would take it over cold any day. I never wore short sleeves the whole week. I had long johns and long sleeved shirts the whole time. I was, however, very warm at night. I borrowed my dad's zero degree mummy bag and was toasty warm. Not so much comfortable, but warm. I missed my baby and hubby terribly and was soo glad to get home to them. Katelyn would not have anything to do with me for a couple of hours, but we have since made up and she is back to bugging the heck out of me.

This last week we have been house sitting at my mom's while she and my dad were staying at a beach house in Oceanside with their best friends. Jason has been in heaven. My parents have a vent right above their bed that blows ice cold air. We have a vent above our bed at home, but what little air it does blow is equal to the outside temperature. We liked to pretend that that big ol' house was ours and that we had money. Yesterday we were forced back into reality when my parents came home. They told us we could stay as long as we wanted, but it just wasn't the same.

This morning I finished going through all of Katelyn's baby stuff and got it all boxed up and put in the garage. She now has a big girl room. This afternoon/evening will be her first night in her big girl bed. She already told me that the crib is hers and no i cannot move it. This ought to be a fun week.

If anyone is still reading this, you are a true friend. I am going to start cleaning my room tonight and if I don't find my camera I will have to kill myself. Well, not really, but I will be bummed. Wish me luck.

The Big Day!! Well, the first of 3 Big Days...

So as promised, here is a post about Jason's Graduation. For those of you who don't know what his school situtation is, here it is.

Jason just finished his associates degree in Political Science. He has 2 more years at UNLV (maybe) until he gets his Bachelors. After that he has 3 years of Law School. He hopes to be a Constitutional lawyer. His dream is to be a judge. I see Politics in his future, although it doesn't thrill me. Anywho, he has a long road ahead, but we are very proud of this accomplishment. The light at the end of the tunnel isn't as blurry now.

Back to the Graduation itself. Yeah, it was last Monday the 19th, which you might recall as being hotter than my mom (and she is HOT!!). It was 109 or something sick. The thing started at 6 and the graduates were supposed to be there at 5. I just went with Jay as I wanted to get there early and save seats. Well, we got there at 4:30. They didn't open the doors until 5. As all of you probably know, the Thomas and Mack does not offer much in the way of shade. I wanted to kill myself. It was about that time I started to be really grateful that I didn't have Kate. That would have sucked. They finally opened the doors and I was able to get a bunch of seats saved. Jasons family soon joined me and the thing started. I have to say for as much as I hate graduations, it wasn't that bad. The program was short and sweet. Soon they started calling the names. My hubby was very close to the front because his last name starts with "A" and he was in the high honors section. Here he is taking his turn.



After what seemed like 5000 names it was over and we waited outside for him. He looked so cute in his little hat.



It was a good night. We went to metro pizza afterwards and it was its usual level of delicious. I am so proud of you Jason. Keep up the good work. We love you. As a side note, I have misplaced my bloody camera. I can't find it anywhere. I am not able to take any pictures lately at all because Todds camera broke recently. Please pray that I can find it. We just bought it in October and I don't want to have to buy a new one.

Still Alive...

Okay, so I am forcing myself to sit down and type. After the last one anything could be an improvement, huh? No I didn't off myself, but that was a rough week. I honestly can't think of anything worth writing about at this current moment. Jason's graduation is tonight so I will post about that later. I hate when people post and dont include any pictures, so here is some random ones that I found of Katelyn. More to come...hopefully.






Happy?

Boo.

Well, I haven't posted in a while because nothing of note was going on. I was sick for 2 days last week with some sort of stomach bug I would prefer never to have again. Boo!! I was looking forward to the weekend as it was Jason's birthday and I arranged a party for him at Chuck E. Cheese. Well, Saturday morning rolls around, and he starts to feel crappy. Boo!! We decided it was too late to call and cancel the party so he put on a brave face and we went anyway. We had a great turn out and actually had a great time. After we left I realized that we forgot our camera. Doubel Boo!! Hopefully any of you who did bring your cameras will email me pictures so i can post them. While we were there Katelyn had a blow out. Boo!! No extra pants. Boo!! I sure did let her run around in a shirt and diaper. Yesterday morning we skipped church and I took Jason to the Quick Care. I don't even need to emphasize the Boo!! here as all of you know how much I hate that facility. However, it was quick. Long story longer, Jason has strep throat. BOOOOO!!!! I am starting to get a sore throat. Boo!! Katelyn is on day 3 of runny diahrrea. Boo!! I will be leaving shortly to go babysit Erin's kids for the week while Kindle is in the hospital having procedures done on his head. Boo to hospitals!! I hope everyone has a nicer day than I have. Love you all, though.

We loveTown Square!!

I stink at posting lately. This will be short. Just a quick update and pics. Yesterday Kate and I went to Town Square with Todd, Karalee, Tyler, my mom, Erin and her kids. I had never been before, but heard it was great. We went specifically for the kids park. It was soo cool. If you have kids and you've never gone there- do it. Its worth your time. They have a treehouse with slides and nets for climbing. They also have several playhouses with kitchens and table and chairs. It was adorable. There is also a little stage where the kids can put on little plays or just run around. It was so cute. Here are some pictures.







I couldn't get Katelyn to cooperate, but Cora and Andrew wanted to go on the stage. Cora more so than her brother.



It was a fun day. However, I can't wait to go back without kids and look in all the stores and get another one of those boba smoothies from "Lollicup". They are fantastic.

Thats all for now. I hope to do a long post soon, but I make no guarantees. As a side note, I hope you all enjoyed conference. I loved every second of it. President Monson looks different to me already. I am so grateful to be able to hear his words. I feel like the "smack was laid down" by several speakers and I am so glad as they are things I need the most improvement in. The church is pretty cool. Anywho, that is all.
