Jeremy spent daddy and daughter time before and after his hike so he definitely puts in his fatherly duty time.  And they have so much fun together.  Bianca tries to escape the fun with dad but at least they are having fun while trying. 

While daddy was on his little/BIG hike we had some fun of our own.  We played on the scooter and had a lot of fun.  Bianca had to show us some great tricks of her own on her scooter is was priceless.  I can't wait to see more tricks.  As long as she doesn't hurt herself.   I loved my time with my girl.  

Alright so we went to Utah for a little bit over a week.  We had a lot of fun.  Jeremy went on his 50 mile hike in Paria Utah and he loved every minute of it.  Jeremy was gone for 5 days.  Yes he was VERY happy to take a shower after that.  He had to go through super freezing water.  Here is a great shot of him in the water.  You can tell he could barely handle being in the water!!!  Ha Ha I love it.  That is what happens on those strenuous hikes.  

And then we loved it when he returned home to be the cute family that we are.  I couldn't ask to be apart of a better family we are so content and happy.  It's an amazing life I live and wouldn't change it for anything.   

Now we are trying to get our yard in shape and looking good. and getting it back in order. Since our dog Kacee ruined the backyard and dug TONS of holes where grass used to be.  It will look better than before though.  We are giving Kacee a little place of her own in the back.  We also got an above ground pool and we are preparing the back for that also.   And this year is the year we will be growing our first garden.  We can't wait.   And we will use enough of it.  But we will also be will to give away especially if it gets out of control!!! LOL  The front is also looking better now that the ugly ROCKS are disappearing YAY.  New windows will be added to the home for better energy sufficient in the winter time.  

We are looking forward for our trip to Maine in June.  A vacation is always needed and with some delicious Lobster,  oh YEAH.  I think that is going to cover my update for now.  

Being a mom

Well, last night I got to thinking about when Bianca is going to be in school and how much it is going to be different around the house without her all day.  I cried of course and man am I going to miss that little girl during the day.  I know it isn't until August but hey that will be here before you know it.  I think Jeremy was a little shocked at how emotional I was, oh well that is how us women are huh.  I am really nervous as to how kids will treat her and if she gets hurt.  Cause that is how this mom thinks.  I really don't think kids should be bossy and all that and I don't want her to be bossed around by other kids and vice versa, if she is bossed around I will just have to teach her how to tell those kids to stop bossing her around.  I will have to teach her how to stand up for herself.  Man what a stressful thing to think about.  No I will not teach her to fight, just to know what to say when someone says something that bugs her or is mean or bossy or whatever.  Don't get me wrong I am very excited to see her go to school just a little nervous.  I am excited to do the school shopping thing. I might have to hit Park City on the holiday shopping buys!!!  That's right it is worth going up there for how much you save and this year I am there. Anyways I know you really don't want to read more about this but there you have it in a nutshell of what I am emotional about right now.  And I really miss my family in Utah and calling up a cousin that is like a sister to me and saying hey want to come over or can I come over?   Anyways it is really hard. 

Ok its been a while I know. We are doing great and we can't complain.  Well we have been busy this month it was Jeremy's birthday and we celebrated with an amazing dinner.  He got really expensive wood to make himself a Chess board since he sold his, Mario Cart which he can't stop playing - can we say addiction? And I got him a jump rope to add to his exercising. On the weekend of his birthday we had friends over and played games.  It was a blast.

  

Now that valentines is here we are going to probably go to a dollar movie and just hang out as a family.

For Bianca's birthday we are having a birthday party in Idaho and in Utah so she can see old friends and a lot of our family.  We will have a blast with that she decided she wants a High School Musical Party again.  What can she say she loves that show and thinks Troy is HOT.  We will play pin the Basket ball on Troy and musical Chairs and have the kids Kareokee. It will be crazy in our house but fun for the kids.  

On the 28th we are going to be in Utah and we are going to the Draper temple open house and that is the day for Bianca's birthday as well.  

Jeremy is working out and doing a great job.  Callie on the other hand is trying her best.  What can we say.  Callie would love to be in a class cause then she would have to know matter what since it is a class.  LOL  Whatever works. 

Hi there.  Jeremy and I are doing great.  Bianca is loving making new friends and being involved.  As most of you know we live in Idaho.  That in itself is a big adjustment for me.  I know it isn't that far from Utah but far enough.  I miss my family.  

Jeremy is currently finishing up his last week for Volleyball.  He is going to be teaching the 15 and 16 year olds in church.  The ward doesn't have many kids in it so he will only have two girls to teach.  But he is looking forward to teaching.  As always.  Jeremy any I are both in the choir in our ward and it is fun. Bianca stands up there with us she loves it.  We love to play games (board games and wii)  we play games every day if we can.  The wii on the other hand is out of order for the reasoning that we play it way to much some of us more than others so there you go.  

I do my best to keep the house clean and in order.  Some weeks are easier than others.  Bianca keeps me busy as well and calling for appointments and things like that.  I haven't made many friends but I am excited to see who they will be.  I miss my Utah friends very much.  It's hard to open up to new people for me that is but I know there are people out here in Idaho that I will become better friends with.  Patience is the key and we all love patience.  Jeremy is a great husband and I am so glad to have him in my life.  Bianca also brings joy into my life so I enjoy being with them for the most part.  I won't complain. 

I signed Bianca up for Art classes for October, November, and December. She has no idea what that is but when we start I know she is going to love every minute of it.  Bianca is so smart and wants to learn how to read so much hopefully that will make it easier when she starts reading!!!  

Well, there is the update on our little happy family.  And I will put updates on here.
