Halloween 2009

I know, I know...I haven't done a blog for awhile. But now I am back.

Halloween weekend was fun.....

Jordin was Tinker Bell
She loved the candy

Couldn't get enough...lol

Jaden was Darth Vader


Our Little Tinker Bell didn't know what to do, so she thought it would be fun to play with the rocks instead of trick-or-treating....maybe next year she will know what to do ;)
All in all the kids had a fun weekend!

Happy 1st Birthday to our sweet little Jordin!

Today is our sweet little Jordin's 1st birthday. We love our little princess so much and we feel so blessed to have her in our life.



Me, with my little birthday girl!

Jordin got this cute little pink horse from her Uncle Matt and family. She just loves it!

I saw this cake and I just had to have it for her. The rose cupcake was for her to eat all by herself!

and boy did she love it.



We had a little party for Jaden and Jordin in UT so they could do something with Jason.
(the kids and I are in WA for a few weeks)



I will add more to this post a little later.

My Twenties

Here's a look back at my twenties....

1999: I married the man of my dreams on August 7th in the Salt Lake Temple. We also got to enjoy a honeymoon at Disney World. Our First Christmas together we went to Idaho and had Christmas with his family and then for New years we drove to Washington to surprise my mom. The look on here face when we showed up was great!

2000: enjoyed the first year of being married. Jason and I both were working hard in school and at work.

2001: We took our first trip to Hawaii in August, found out in October that we were going to have a baby and became an Aunt for the first time in December.

2002: My brother flew me home to surprise my mom for her big 50th birthday bash in February. I would have to say I just loved the look on her face when she answered the door and I asked if she had an extra bed I could stay in. Once again it was great to see her so surprised. We spent most of the next few months getting ready for our new little one. Jaden Knight was born on July 19th. I was 23 and was so happy with my husband and new little baby boy. On a crazy note, I ended up in the ER with a really bad gallbladder attack two months after I had Jaden. A few days later I had it removed. So I had a baby and surgery all within a few months. I wanted nothing else to do with doctors for the rest of the year. To end the year we got to go back to Washington for Christmas to see both of the families. It was Jadens first Christmas and it was a blast.

2003: Jason was in his last year at BYU and was working on getting into Dental school.
We also got to go back to Washington to be at my brothers wedding.

2004: Found out that Jason was accepted into Creighton Dental School, Jason walked at his BYU Graduation, and we packed our stuff and moved to Omaha in August. We moved to a place called Village Green and began our Dental School adventure.

2005: I was enjoying living in Omaha and living in Village Green. I made so many new and long time friends there. Jaden was getting bigger and life was going great. In December we lost Jason's Grandpa Kay. So we went home for the funeral and the Christmas season to be with family.

2006: was spent hanging out in Omaha. We went to Utah for Cami and JR's wedding. Jaden started Pre-K that fall...In November my mom called me and told me that my grandmother had just passed away and that she was on her way to go be with her dad and family. Jaden and I went to be with my mom and family in Montana and then my grandfather got really sick and he passed away a few days later...wow! Both grandparents within a few days a each other. That was really hard and I am thankful that my brother and his family helped me get out there to be with my mom. After Montana I went back to Omaha and then we flew to Washington for Christmas and then to Utah for Nate and Lynlees wedding. After that Jason went Back to Omaha for school and I went back to Washington to hang out for a few more weeks.

2007: Was full of ups and downs. I'll start with some ups. In January, I got to meet my brothers new little baby boy Cameron. In May, My mom took Jaden and I to Disney Land with my brother and his family. It was soooo much fun. I just love anything Disney. It keeps me young! In July I went back to Montana for a big life celebration for my grandparents that had passed away. I got to see a lot of extended family that I haven't seen in years..It was the last time that We would all be together at the Lake house where my grandparents had spend their last years together.. It was a great time that I will never forget. I got to attended my ten year High School reunion in WA and had a great time hanging out with a lot of great old friends. Jason was going to start his senior year in Dental School. It was so nice to think that there would be a end to all his schooling. There were many more ups, but like I said, we had a few downs...We had been trying for a few years to get pregnant and we finally got pregnant. We were so happy that we would be adding to our little family. So we found out in June that we were pregnant and then a few weeks later after all our summer fun we found out in August that we had lost the baby...I would have to say that was the hardest thing that I had ever had to face in my life..But Jason and Jaden were there to help me day by day...My friends and family also were a be support. So after all that Jason and Jaden both went back to school and I went and found a job working at Zales. Now back to the ups!!! Surprise to us I found out that I was pregnant. What, how did that happen???? Funny thing was, the baby was due on July 16th....Jaden was due on July 15th...so that was kind of funny to us. So for all that had happen that year, it was a great way to end the year.

2008: Jason was done with Dental School. Now it was time to wait for our next little one to join our family. Jordin Elizabeth was born on July 9th. Now I had my boy and my new little girl...This was such a great moment in my life..I didn't think that this would be..My two kids..I love saying that. I still feel that there are more waiting to come down, but when, who knows...But for now, We have our two and we are very thankful for that. A few weeks later we moved to a rez in Fort Defiance, AZ because Jason took a job with the IHS..It's only for a few years but man has it been hard. My mom came out for a few weeks to see the baby and help us move in. My brother with his family and dad and grandma also came to see us out here..We spent a lot of our three and four day weekends driving out to Utah to go to some of the BYU games and to see family. We also took a little trip to Las Vegas so Jason could go to the BYU football game. Christmas was spent here on the rez with lots of snow....

2009: lots of snow on the rez and I thought that the winter would never end. A few more trips to Utah to see family and just hang out. We also made it to Las Vegas in March for more BYU sports games. In April I took a drive down to Queen Creek and Mesa, AZ and just had a fun time hanging out with some great friends. We also went back to UT for some BYU graduations. We just love to travel.

So in my twenties I would have to say it has been great.. A lot of ups and downs. I have learned many things and I hope and think that I have grown from them all...Now I am sure that my thirty's will bring many more ups and downs and I look forward to see what must come my way....I know that I have forgotten a few things, so please leave me a note if you remember something that I should add.. This will be for me to look back on and remember the good and the bad times....Thanks to everyone who has been there for me in all my ups and downs. I love you all!!!

April

Lots of fun times for the month of april...i'll post them soon..

March

March was a fun month. It started off with Jason turning 32. Then a few days later we took a little trip to Vegas. Here's some things that we got to do in Vegas..

BYU basketball games..That was fun to take Jaden.. I think that he had a lot of fun. He loves BYU anything sports...Maybe someday we can watch him in a BYU sport..LOL!!!



The Wax museum. That was fun.. At first Jaden didn't know what to think when he walked in and saw all the wax people. I think that it kind of confused him but then a little later he thought it was cool...




Jaden and I on the gondola ride..


We did a lot of walking around at some of the big Hotels....didn't buy anything...I took some fun pictures with my camera, which I still have no idea how to use...Still learning.





After Vegas it was back to work and school for the boys. The weather was nice for a few days so we took that time to go on our first hike. We live in the middle of no where so we can pretty much just walk out our back yard and go on a hike. It was a little windy but still the sun felt good and we all got a little color..




Let's see...not much more to say about March... Now it's time for April and lets hope that the weather gets better so we can go on some fun hiking trips..

Jason's Birthday



For Jason's birthday we didn't get to do much. It was on a Sunday so we just kind of stayed here and did nothing. We played a little Guitar Hero, I made him one of his favorite dinners and we had some cake. He got to talk to some of his family and that's about all we did. In his old age Jason likes things laid back and quiet. LOL!! But in a few days we will be off to Vegas and that's where the real party will be for his birthday. There's no place like Vegas to party! LOL! Since we party so much. Anyways, here are some pics of the old man with his kids!
