These months aren't going fast enough...

So last weekend we went to the third or fourth mission reunion. I stopped keeping track unfortunately I think as long as we live near Utah we'll be going to this awkward event. Just kidding it really isn't that bad, it gives Jon some reminscing time and theres usually good food there. I also really like his mission President & wife. They act like I'm some relation to them. It was neat to meet some people I hadn't before and hear stories that I hadn't before :) And also hear stories I'd heard lots of times before. The mission President spoke for awhile said he was so proud of his missionaries and that found that what he's missed most is the boys themselves. He also went on to say that he believes that's because it was easy to like them and that he never was even close to sending any of them home. I suppose thats good huh. President Williams and his wife gave us a porcelian danish ornament as a late wedding present. Which made me think of collecting ornaments that will have meaning to us. We went home to find out the high way was completely closed to construction and had to take back roads with everyone else. It was sort of stop and go for quite a while. Work is going ok for me, I'm just struggling get up in the morning forcing myself to eat something, then running off for a long day of whinny members. But I'll be getting awesome insurance next month through them so I need to stick it out, since apparently we make too much (which I am still unaware of) to qualify for medicaid. My naseau is deffinitely spreading out. I can't tell now when I'm going to be sick bc some mornings I feel great and others like this morning are not. I got to go to my LDS coworkers babyshower. It was really quite fun and funny to see what I might be recieving in the future. They had the cutest idea of buying plain onezies (I have no idea how thats spelt) and paint for each guest to decorate. Jon's been working hard and playing hard both of which I appreciate. As the weather is warming up Jon's been riding his bike alittle more. He's been dragging along his friend's brother which I love bc the kid needs better friends and Jon likes to try to talk him into being alittle more missionary ready. Recently Jon drove an hour to Evonston, WY which is an hour away to ride his bike just to find out the skate park was filled with snow. So they just did a few little jibs here and there. Still shooting his bow and figuring out how he's going to come back with a kill his very first hunt which has yet to be planned. I think I'd probably laugh if he really did come back with
something.
Baxster played with his girlfriend "Bella" alot last weekend we're hoping there aren't any puppies in the future bc we were told being so young they could turn out retarded, we've keep a better eye on them since that weekend. We can't deal with any more dogs around here and if they were retarded I don't know what I'd do. Thats about all I can think about that has been remotely interesting lately.



Baxster hates baths, but we try to stick to once a week. After a while there's a funny smell about him.





















He lies on his back all the time. Here this is caught on camera. When he first started doing it we really got a kick out of it. He's asleep in this picture.

Jon's Car That Nobody's Ever Seen

I just thought I'd post a picture of Jon's newest vehicle. I realized that nobody has ever seen it. Its a Kia but I think its fun and if it wasn't a stick I'd totally drive it all the time. This was taken in the school parking lot where they're working/building right now.

Needs A Big Picture...

I'm thinking about blowing up this picture to stick in my 40' X 30' frame. Or do you think this will be too mushy. It's my favorite of us and the temple we just happen to be kissing.

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!!
