SURPRISE!

Yes the rumors are true I found myself experiencing baby fever. But more surprising was finding out I was pregnant. I'm sure everyone has heard the stories. My dream & spiritual experience. My reaction to this finding and Jon's. Anyway we're excited. The baby should be due about late October. I've already had three people offer to throw baby showers for me. But we could really use a few nice things if a couple people wanted to go in on one gift hint hint. No I'm kidding we'd be grateful for anything or any advice cause we don't know what were doing.

First Region Win

Jon had his first region church basketball saturday. They won of course. They only had five players and were out sized. it was a very intense game. Jon's team had alot of fouls called on them and got in foul trouble early. Even though the odds were against them they played hard the whole game. the other team started getting frustrated and one of their players had a technical foul called on them. In the 4th quarter one of jon's players fouled out so they had to play the rest of the game with 4 players. There was one play towards the end of the game where his team was up by 10 with about 2 minutes to go and the opposing team was playing full court press. While they were pressing them jon snuck passed them and got a fast break. Jon was running full speed and there was a defensive player right behined him going full speed and instead of going for the layup jon stopped and the kid ran straight into him kneeing him it the back. The other player was given a flagrent foul and kicked out of the game. Well all in all Jon's team won the game and has a game next week.
In other news Jon also got a new calling in the ward. He is a counselor in the young mens presidency. Jon is very excited about the calling. There is only one boy in the whole ward and he looks forward to working with him.
Well thats it for today. until next time.

We're Back

Wow it took me a long time how to figure out how to add another blog, there were some issues with remembering the password and the page defaulted to another language. I'm always checking Carrie and Wendy's pages and figure I should write something. Lets see I'm the Ward assistant librarian and create the ward bulletin. Which is difficult when you have to write some type of thought on the back of it. Jon should be getting a calling this Sunday because some couples are moving out of the ward and the secretary called me and asked if Jon would meet with the bishop Sunday. Jon's been busy with work, school, and hunting movies/magazines. He's only bought two magazines and the hunting videos are much cheaper than biking videos. Which reminds me we recently purchased a clear play DVD system. Basically it acts as a filter muting out bad words and cutting out unnecessary scenes. We love it. It was put together by some kids in Provo and has gotten bigger since now they're selling them in the mall. Funny thing was I'd never heard of them until the other day some guy apparently LDS but alittle nutty was going on about some clear play thing. The other teller lady was just smiling and nodding, as he went on and on to talk about what a great movie Saturdays Warrior was and how they just don't make them like that anymore. She obviously no idea what he was talking about and meanwhile I was just smiling in the background. So anyway we bought one to test it out, it was worth it cause all we do is watch movies and it works great. I should really take this time to practice writing in complete gramatically correct sentences, but I'm not. Jon's Church basketball team went undefeated and is going on to Regional playoffs. Who knew there was such a thing. He's the coach and deals with all the guff from the guys. However, two of his players are soon to be fathers this week hopefully they will still get to play. I'm loving all the kids pictures that I'm getting and hope everyone keeps posting them on blogs & myfamily. As for me work is going good, I'm actually pretty good at handling money now. Like I can count back. The other day as I walked into our building at 8:30 am I noticed a door on the opposite side was shattered. Scarey when you and two other ladys are walking into a building. But no one got in and we have no idea how it happened thank goodness for thick glass. I just feel bad for any thief that thinks they can break in cause all the tellers have their keys to their drawers and all the money is in saftey deposit boxes. The keys to those are locked in drawer in a room that is locked within the huge safe. We got an email today about a robbery that went at Chase Bank in West Valley (SLC) and got away with two bundles one filled with a dye pack that goes off minutes that it leaves the building spraying red potent dye and tear gas. I have one of those dye packs in my drawer. Our dog is getting bigger and more pesky. He got his first hair cut and the girl said she wanted to steal him cause he was so mellow & sweet. When I picked him up he looked like half the dog he was and then he clawed into me scared I would leave him again for a 3 hr haircut...seriously. This morning as I ran around the house I accidentally knocked down a fresh new roll of toliet paper. Possibly 20 seconds later it was strew and shredded all over three of the three rooms. He keeps me company though. Sorry we don't really have too much more exciting news than that. Maybe next time.

Our little Baxster!!

Ogden....(sigh)

So I decided since everyone else was doing it, that I'd have to join in. We thought it'd be fun to try to update people on what's going on in our lives. So I (Julee) am currently working for a tanning salon but got a job at Golden West Credit Union. Its just a couple streets away and I start on Feb 4th for training as a teller. I am excited. I've been surprised to see what a little sales lady I am. I've sold 7 VIP passes at the tanning salon in just three days by myself. All I say is this is our best deal however we'll be drafting 25 bucks a month from your bank account and you can tan as much as you want. You wouldn't believe all the variety of people that come in. Old men, young men, old women, and lots of women.

I've been counting the days that I've felt good lately seems I've always got something bothering me. If its not the back its the neck, if its not my stomach and naseau its my poor hands getting cut by cans, paper, cardboard, or getting pieces of wood shoved underneath a nail. However, Jon's been good to me trying to make soup and being at my beckon call.

My Chevy Malibu has been running well and getting decent gas milage. Jon's new little Kia Sportage has been fun but tiresome. Literally... we had to replace all the tires, but we were able to barter some off of Jon's little friend Tanner Jones who wrecked his Ford Ranger. However one of the tires was bad so we only got away with three Kingstar tires and found out later after LeSchawb put them on that one of them had some type of puncture hole. So we had to buy some fix a flat from Walmart and are praying that it will work for now. Jon was also able to sell his car to a man mechanically inclined over KSL a local channel & classified ad publisher online. I've also listed my last year studded tires and hope I can sell them to someone as well.

I've been busy trying to convince people to hire me. Working hard to get our puppy into the bathroom when I leave for work in the morning, once he hears me pouring food and throwing toys in there he runs for cover. Even though he has such a fun personality and keeps me company, I'm sick of finding holes in shoes, socks, icy hot, and my chairs. But as soon as we get a pup out of him I'll be satisfied and then think about selling him. Even though Jon feels he's one of the family now.

Jon is enjoying work and finding himself to be a more valuable employee as we learned he had recieved a raise back in November. We recently had a work party in Brigham City at the famous Maddox restaurant. They had slabs of cow called "steaks" that I'd never seen before. Jon not holding back ordered the BISON filet mignon and I ordered the chicken. But it was very good and fun to see the people of whom I have heard numerous stories. He's been very out doorsy lately ordering Cabela's cateloges and wants to put in for a deer tag this coming season in Utah. I told him once he actually get something he can have better equipment. Thats about everything for now. Until next time....
