Update! Go BYU!!!!


Jordin loves it when daddy helps out!


Our sweet baby! This is her favorit blanket!


Jaden loves his little sister!!

Well, things have been nuts around here. I mean I think that I am going nuts. It seems like everything was going wrong. It all started last week when I started feeling like I was getting a cold and boy was i right. I have been so sick this past week and to top that all off Jordin got it too. So with stuffy noses and no sleep everything started to hite me. The move, having a baby, starting a new job, the loans, medical insurance, Jaden at his new school, boxes every where and the fact that there is no family out here. WOW! That's alot of stress. But!!!! Jason likes his job and is now getting the hang of things after being a bum for three months. (we were all bums for the last three months before the move. it was kind of nice) Jaden has made some friends and he likes his school. I don't know where I stand in all this. I love being a new mom again. it's hard with the no sleep and feeding the baby all the time, but I love it. Yes, there has been lots of tears because I don't think that I am doing my job as a mother and a wife, but every time I feel down, my sweet Jason and jaden tell me that I am doing a great job and that it's ok if the house isn't perfect and the dishes aren't done. Just as long as I am happy, they are happy!! Also, whenever my mom calls she picks me up too. I love you mom!! Also, I live every day by keeping the Faith in all that I do. When I start to feel down, i look at my family and smile. I know things are great, I just think I need a little more sleep and I'll be great! So this weekend we are off to the BYU football game. well Jason and Jaden are going to go, Jordin and I are going to do some shopping and some other girl stuff. I really need my hair done and some clothes. So while the boys are at the game, I will be doing what I do best. shopping. I love a great deal! LOL! Well, Time to go and pack. Love you all!!!

Our New Adventures in Fort Defiance

One day I took about 30 pictures to get a good one. It's hard when your camera is slow. We need a new one bad but here is one that I thought was cute!



On the last day that my mom was here with us we went to the Window Rock Zoo. It's a really cute little, I mean little zoo. There's not much there but we had a great time. Here are some fun pictures of us at the zoo.







I told you it was a small Zoo. But we did see a wolf, bobcat, two black bears, some fox's, an owl,a coyote and I think a turkey. There were a few more but they must have been hiding. Like I said, it's a small cute little zoo.

Then we went and looked at some houses that we might want to buy! Tell us what you think.

This is the house that Jason likes the most. He liked the mud walls on the outside and the wood walls on the inside.


We thought that there was alot of room in the inside.


I liked this one because of the view of the red rock.


Well enough fun, Fort Defiance is a great peaceful place. We love it so far. The people are great here and we can't wait to learn more about the culture. When we found out that we were going to be moving here, I did some research on the area. For example, you need to be really careful when driving because you might hit a cow because they just wander all over the place. We haven't hit one yet but we have seen them in the roads walking as slow as they can. You also have to watch out for all the rez dogs. They are every where! We haven't seen any snakes yet and we really don't want too. The weather is so great here. That's one thing I love about Fort Defiance is the weather. It's cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon and then it cools down again in the evening. It has also rained almost everyday that we have been here, but only for al ittle while and then it gets nice again. There was one day when we had a really bad rain storm that lasted about 30 min. and then it was nice the rest of the day!

Here's a picture of what happens to our back yard when it rains. We get our own little mud pool!!!


Jaden likes school and has lots of questions. For example he came home and said that the kids at school told him that he needed to shave his legs and his arms because he had to much hair on them. Jason, my mom and I just laughed to ourselves and told him that some kids just don't have hair on there arms and legs and that it's ok to have hair. He said that he didn't like it when they said that to him, so we told him to tell the kids that his dad has hair on his arms and legs and that's ok! This is going to be hard out here for him, But I think that he will be ok! My mother told Jaden that when we lived in Hawaii, the kids made fun of me too about the hair on my legs and arms. She also said that I wanted to shave my legs so they wouldn't make fun of me anymore, I was only in the 5th grade and I think that my mom let me. Can't remember! There will be no shaving for Jaden. He'll just have to learn that we are hairy people. LOL!!!

On Sunday we went to our church for the 1st time. WOW! They said it was a ward but there were only like 30-40 people there, if that. It is a very small ward. I think that it's going to be a new adventure just going to church here because it's so small. But we think that it's going to fun and a great learning experience.

Our new house!! We love it! There is so much space that we don't know what to do with it. But I am sure we will find something to do with it all.

The move update!

Well, We are here in Fort Definace, AZ in a big empty houes. We don't have any of our things until Monday the 11th. we have been here a week with nothing, we just got the phones and the internet on August 7th, which was are 9th anniversary. yep that's right 9 years. We didn't do anything because we are all very tired of the move and sleeping on blow up beds are not fun what so ever!! I did buy us a gift and it's kind of a funny story which I will tell later when I can post pics. Jordin and Jaden are doing great. Jaden starts school this monday the 11th and he has already made some little friends. Jordin is getting bigger and doing great. Jason started work last monday and is just doing orientation. He gets to start working on patients this tuesday. He can't wait. Well, as for me I am just hanging out with my mom who is here for about anther week and we are just waiting for our things to get here and then we can put the house together and get back to life. We love the weather here and I think that this is going to be a great two or three or maybe four years here. who knows! No really does anyone know? LOL!! Life is great and I love my family. Pictures will be coming soon!!!
