Updating…

Seriously… I can’t believe how busy a sister graduating from HS, a sister going on a mission… and a brother going on a mission makes us! It has been a really crazy couple of months! We are doing pretty good! Orion is growing like crazy… despite his tummy issues. Poor boy has been sick, well his little bum has been sick, but he acts fine. We’ve taken him to the vet, and he gave him some bacterial culture to sprinkle on his food to promote good intestinal health, but it has yet to start working. Hopefully we get this under control soon!

Justin and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on the 1st. Its crazy to think that it has been that long, but it has been a wonderful 5 years! We spent ALL day at a dealership. I mean ALL day, but we came home with this brand new toy. We are so excited to get up in the mountains and get camping! We have been looking for a camper for a long time, but never found one that had everything we wanted. Then after seriously a year or more of searching, Justin found this one. It had the bunks and bathtub that I wanted, It was a fifth wheel like Justin wanted. Plus it had a lot of upgrades that we weren’t expecting! Speakers on the outside and inside, 2 skylights, upgraded countertops and fridge, Propane hook up for a camp chef, outdoor shower, all in its 25 ft. We were pretty excited, and decided that is what we would get for our anniversary. I think we’ve got it decked out and ready to head up to the hills!

Landon left for his mission on Wednesday. It was a good day, but pretty emotional! He will do great! We are so happy for him! We got to go to Lagoon with him before he left, and on Wed. went and shot off a HUGE rocket, the biggest one we’d ever done before we took him to the MTC. It was a good time!392495_4035202049148_1198518115_n[1]

Well, this is all for now. Hopefully I will get better at blogging both on my blog, and my brother and sisters letters on their blog! On to my primary lesson for tomorrow, and tying quilts for the camper!

According to my siblings, its time that I announced where Landon is going on his mission….since it has been 4 weeks….

TORONTO CANADA!

This is how far away Landon and Annie will be from each other. Exactly 428.26 miles apart!

We are so excited for him! He leaves on 6-6, exactly 2 months from today. He is really excited!

I made Kaiz’s birthday cake… they were really patient with me because I’m nowhere near perfect yet, but it was cute!

021

Justin and I have been working on the lots next to us, cutting them down that is and getting rid of the old truck parts. We have one little patch of grass that we are hoping we will finish cutting down this weekend… if it doesn’t snow!

014

We got new couches! We LOVE them! I still need to make pillows for the love seat : )

My parents gave us our early Birthday/Christmas present…

020

Its an electric fireplace. It puts out so much more heat then our built in one, and its more efficient! We love it! Thanks mom and dad!

Annie left for the MTC today. I got to go with her and my parents to drop her off. It was fun to go and spend a little time with her before. Then we took her to the MTC…. parked at #5 I think…. the Elders greeted her, picked up her luggage, and she was gone. Ahhhh! Its going to be a crazy 18 months without her. But she is going to be a wonderful missionary!

Today…

Have you ever felt like your life is spinning out of control? Ours did today! It was nuts! We got up really early… left the house at 6:30, picked up my dad, and headed to Utah. Annie was going through the Timpanogos Temple today at 10:00, we had to be there at 9:30. Leaving 3 hours early, when it takes less than two to get there… Plenty of time.. right? WRONG! We knew the roads had been closed due to snow, wind, and wrecks… so we decide to take the back road… wrong again! Between the interstate being closed to EVERYONE (unless you want a hefty fine and possible jail time) you couldn’t get on at all. So we went the back way to TA. Through Robertson which is a lot of backtracking, and a 30-40 minute longer ride. Finally make it to the back road by TA….. SNOWDRIFTS! We have an awesome truck… but not that light of a truck…. all in all we ended up having to go to TA and sit there for at least 90 minutes before the roads opened. By that time, we knew that we wouldn’t make it…. my mom called and they were able to push it back for us! In the meantime… my grandpa made it to the temple, thought he was late, left, and went home. Freaked out my mom… which freaked out me…. which irritated Justin… It was crazy! We finally made it to the temple, poor mom, Annie, John, and Jan, just had to sit there and wait 2 hours for us.. But it was a wonderful experience! We were able to meet my Grandpa afterwards to eat lunch. Then we hurried to Evanston to pick up a few things, and ran home so my dad could catch the end of Nat’s Sr. year of the Lyman v.s. Mountain View game! Before hand however, he had to get the mail to see if Landon’s mission call came. ( We didn’t think it would, because it took Annie an extra week), but it was here! So in about 5 minutes we head over to my parents to see where he goes! Stay tuned!
