Update!

Well we've been having a great time up here in Lehi for Thanksgiving! All of Jonathon's family got to come from Oregon and from California.. So all of the family is here! It's cool because I've only met some of them once.. and that was at our wedding.. We've played some volleyball and ate a LOT! I will try and post my pictures sometime soon.. I didn't get very many because my camera died and I haven't felt like going to get a new battery..

On a different note.. Jonathon got laid off on Tuesday and we were pretty surprised.. But we've just been trying to enjoy the time with family and will start thinking of which way we want to go in a couple of days.. As of right now I'm just trying to stay positive because I know my hubby will figure it out! We will probably be going to Monticello tomorrow and go to Ticaboo next week just to go back before we pack up and leave.. I've been way more sad than anything else.. because I had most of my family 1 minute away and it was so neat to live right by Lake Powell.. I will definitely miss living so close to my family and getting to see my mom every weekend.. It will be sad for all of us to go our separate ways.. Who knows though maybe we will all end up in the same place sometime again.. I'm so glad that we have such a close family and I know that all of us will be just fine.. and things will work out!!

Alexis has really enjoyed playing with all of her cousins.. and is still as busy as ever!! We've been telling her about Kelly's baby in her belly so now if Lexi sees anyone will a belly of ANY kind.. she points and says "baby in belly!"

Shooting..


My mom, grandma, and Derek all came down this weekend.. and on Saturday we all went out shooting! Clint, Tonya, Mialee, and Nixon came along as well!! Justin and Aria even came for a little bit! It was a lot of fun for everyone to get together..





















































Fun pic's on the way home!



Alexis and I took a quick trip to Monticello last week and had a great time! On the way back to Ticaboo Alexis got a little fussy, so I pulled over and got a few pictures! It was such a fun trip! We turned the music up really loud and sang our hearts out! She's pretty fun to travel with!!











































































Quick update!

Our little family is doing well! Jonathon is still on his two weeks of work.. And gets off on Wed. morning! We are all getting very excited to go up north and have an early Thanksgiving with his family! There will be cousins there that we haven't got to see in a long time.. And a cute little girl named Aleah (Jonathon's cousin) that is only 5 months younger than Alexis! So I'm sure they will have a great time together!! Jonathon's been looking at different 4-wheelers so we may just come home with one.. Alexis keeps herself busy all day long.. either watching her favorite movies.. or playing in her room (being a good mom to her babies) or playing with me! We've been going shooting a lot! A fun hobby that we've really enjoyed.. especially Jonathon! We are all doing good!! And looking forward to the Holidays!

Sweet little Lexi!



Alexis loves getting all cuddly on the couch and watching one of her many favorite movies!! She's always telling me to come sit by her and she loves to cuddle with me! She's always playing with my hair or patting my back! She is such a sweet little girl.. and loves her momma so much! She has some chocolate on her face!! but hey who cares.. she's still a doll!



Yea for bows!



A couple of ladies from our branch taught us how to make bows yesterday! It is so much fun.. and really easy!! I will be making tons and tons of these bows.. because they are so cute! Alexis will always have a bow in her hair.. And I don't have to pay two bucks for each of them anymore! So I'm really excited! This is definately gonna be a new hobby of mine! These are my first 3 bows!

A fun day at the lake!




The family all got together last Saturday and went to the Lake! It was such a beautiful day! So we got some hot dogs and went and played on Chad and Kelly's wave runner! The water of course is starting to get cold.. but Alexis was really brave and got in! It was so cute to see her just go right in! Derek was brave to and jumped in.. It was fun for everyone to come out and have a nice time at the lake! I'm sure this will be one of the last times this year :( I'm really sad that it's getting cold.. It was so nice to get out of the house.. and it was a perfect day!

Jonathon's work!

On our 4-wheeler ride.. We went past the mine that Jonathon works at! I have been out there before and never had my camera.. I thought I should get some pictures of where he works 11 hours a day.. 2 weeks in a row! This Uranium Mining thing is just temporary.. But I think Jonathon has really liked it so far! It's been a neat experience.. And I've really enjoyed living by my family! I know he won't be doing this forever.. so I had to get pictures!



This is just a big building in front of the mine..

I think this is where the trucks and some equipment it held.


This is the side of the rock where the mine is in.



A couple of months ago.. my sisters and mom were able to go on a little tour of the mine! They got to see what they do! And some of the trucks and buggies they drive! I got to go a while back.. But didn't get to stay long.. Cuz Alexis couldn't come in so it was just a quick one!




My mom and dad! They are so cute! My dad is actually Jonathons and Chads boss!!





When I'd hear the word "Mine" before.. I thought of this tiny crawl space! It is not like that at all.. It's like an underground city! The roads have to be wide enough and tall enough for big trucks to come in and out! It's so crazy!! It sure is dark though...






Jonathon hard at work!







Jonathon and Chad!






Taking there lunch break.. Don't they look handsome! Lot's of laundry!!







The girls! They had fun being miners for a couple of hours!
