Update Overload

So I FINALLY took all day and updated our blog! I'm sorry I haven't updated things for the last 7 months of our life. I got so far behind that catching up seemed way too time consuming, and trust me it was, but since I consider this my Journal, I knew I had to do it.

So I finished up last semester and did pretty good. Not a 4.0, but good enough grades that I don't have to retake any classes, that's a bonus! Sadly Christmas break was way too short and I've already started a new semester that is going to be quite challenging. So warning, it might be another 3 months until I update the blog again.

Anyway, if you don't care to read the next 22 post, I won't be offended. Enjoy and I hope you're all doing great. We sure are, things are going great for us and as soon as Clint can find a higher paying job, things will be even better.

Jealous Jax


A coule of weeks ago we baby sit my nephew Collin. It was a great time but....we had one jealous dog! Jax doesn't usually demand my time, but he sure wanted it when I was giving attention to Collin. It was SOOO funny.
Anytime I would change Collin's diaper, Jax would come and sit in my lap. Anytime I took Collin he wanted to come too and got really mad if I didn't take him. Anytime I fed Collin, Jax would bark like crazy until I gave him something to eat. No joke, he gained over a pound the week Collin was here. That's like 1/5 of his body weight. If I would play with Collin, Jax would bring me his ball and want me to play with him.
Collin loved to open the fridge and look for food and every time he was in the fridge, Jax would be in there too making sure he got food as well. It was a fun week, but I'm afraid if we ever have kids Jax is going to have a hard time adjusting to not being the baby. It was so funny to witness! We sure love you Jax!



Can you see Jax in my lap? This is when I was reading stories to Collin, Jax came and wanted the good spot on my lap! Such a funny dog!

Party with Friends

Our friend Andrew had his birthday and we tagged along with the group. We had dinner at Smashburger's and then went and watched the movie True Grit. It was a great night and we of course had a ton of fun!
In case you are wondering what that tube thing is, it is this really weird tube that you get in and wind blows like crazy. Don't ask me why Robin loves this so much but he does.

New Years at the Cabin

Like every year we went to the Cabin for New Years. It was SOOO cold, when we got there it was -4 degree's fahrenheit. Some of the other family had gone to the cabin on Tuesday and it was a blizzard the entire week. We went up on Friday and it was snowy when we got there but when we woke up on Saturday we had nothing but blue skies, we picked a good time to go. That is why I only have pictures of the night because we were out side most of the day on Saturday snowmobiling and other stuff and I forgot to bring the camera with me. Oops. We had a great time eating (like always), playing games and watching movies.

Merrry Christmas 2010

Christmas this year was wonderful like it always is. Everyone but Scott and Andrea were at my parents. Scott and Andrea were in Peru with Andrea's family. Andrea's dad took a job in Lima so they went down to visit him.
Anyway we started the day off with my family with breakfast, presents and the Nativity. Such a great day.


After we were done with my parents we went to Clint's families house. Everyone but Coleton was there, he is working in Georgia right now, we sure missed y0u Khol.
We spent the night there having dinner, opening presents and enjoying each other. Thanks for a great Christmas everyone!

Clint's Present

Clint got the present that he always wanted this year for Christmas. A HUGE poster of Jacob from Twilight. His work had a secret santa exchange and someone there must know him VERY well!

Christmas Eve 2010

Christmas Eve was a GREAT night. We went to my sister Lori's house with lots of food and games and just had a blast!

Opening Presents

After Scott and Andrea got home from their honeymoon they came over and opened presents. It reminded me of how much fun it was getting so many presents. I wish we could have a reception every 5 years so that we can always have new fun things. Don't you agree?
