My brother Josh & his fiancé, Jessica got married (That still sounds slightly weird, thinking of my brother as a married man now... LOL!) in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in Salt Lake City Utah this past March. Don't they look gorgeous? It was so nice to be able to be there for the wedding and not only welcome an awesome new sister-in-law to the family but we were also able to see extended family members and friends that we hadn't seen in a very long time. I was almost sad to leave, but Salt Lake City traffic and my darling husband do NOT mix.... that and the family cat would have probably trashed the house if we didn't come back. LOL!</div>

Let's see.... oh, our son Joe started 1st grade this fall and is really loving having Grandma as his teacher. There's been ups & downs like anything else in life, but this seems to be the solution that is working the best for us at this time. :-)</div>

And I think that's pretty much it. Currently we're trying to wether this shutdown of the Federal Government. That means a lot of time off and time spent at home for my husband... normally that would be a good thing, but when it's forced upon you by and indecisive, argumentative and completely juvenile sounding bunch of elected officials... well, there's a lot of stress. I just hope they can figure something out before things get too crazy... well before they get any crazier anyway. ;-)</div>

The other car hit us right under his window and had we been in a lower profile vehicle, I'm sure that he would have been pretty badly injured.

<i> It sure has been a while since the last post. Completely forgot that this blog existed! LOL! Let's see what all's happened since the last post.... Joe turned 4 in May and is already excited about turning 5 this year. Hard to believe that our little boy is growing up so fast! Not sure we're ready for that. :-) We had a pretty great holiday season and now we're just waiting out the winter so we can go back outside and play without freezing our toes off. LOL! Been hard to keep Joe inside. He really wants to go outside & make a snowman, but there just hasn't been enough snow. Plenty cold, but not enough snow for a snowman.

Yay! Spring is almost here! Joe is a little sad to see the snow go, but I think he's really enjoying being able to get out more since it's nearly gone. :-) He's also loving being able to go visit Daddy's side of the family in Chariton more.

Can't believe that we're only a week away from Valentine's day. One of my favorite holidays. :-) We have the house all decorated with hearts and Joe & I are looking forward to surprising Daddy with a yummy Valentine's day treat... as soon as we figure out what to make.

Now there's two Joes in the family. LOL! They seem to really have fun together too. :-) Let's see... Joe's twin cousins, Ellie & Abbie, turned 4 in October and are getting so big! All of the kids in the family are growing up so fast that all of the adults' heads are spinning! <br /><br />Anyway, I think that pretty much sums up our year. :-) 2010 was a pretty good year all in all I'd say.

We're deffinately looking forward to warmer weather though so we can go outside and do lots more exploring and maybe even take a few trips to the park to meet friends. :-)</em></p><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div>Serenity78http://www.blogger.com/profile/02296749315944313797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743139602892514348.post-12059926220256722992009-12-21T19:02:00.000-08:002009-12-21T19:58:45.861-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrS5OzMKePeq29NMtBvD7ivHMydkJqIh_qty1sroiOZBzXqcmGWcrHz_7Gmy2vaFEGCR8PwBk1u6A50PEkRS1i_7cP9Z7qMxNiVgO9CD-WwRxQlh8hYtNW5iq5HDe0Yylp49Az9K4o1-U4/s1600-h/Learning+how+to+make+snowballs.++12-21-09.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417892006409964194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrS5OzMKePeq29NMtBvD7ivHMydkJqIh_qty1sroiOZBzXqcmGWcrHz_7Gmy2vaFEGCR8PwBk1u6A50PEkRS1i_7cP9Z7qMxNiVgO9CD-WwRxQlh8hYtNW5iq5HDe0Yylp49Az9K4o1-U4/s320/Learning+how+to+make+snowballs.++12-21-09.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;"><em>Christmas Time!</em></span></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:180%;"></span></em> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"><em>I can't believe that it's Christmas time again. :-)</em></span></div><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:130%;">Only a few more days till Christmas and then a brand new year.

Soon we'll be getting Joe all dressed up in his Thomas costume (hey, it still fits, so why not?) and going trick or treating. I think he'll have a lot more fun this year and it will be fun to see the family and friends again. Joe is getting bigger every day and has definitely become a little daredevil. :-) Good thing I keep the first aid kit nicely stocked. :-) It actually snowed here on the 10th but it melted too fast for us to take any pictures of Joe playing in it. I think we're going to have to buy him some snow pants, because once he "discovers" the snow, there won't be any luck keeping him out of it I bet. :-)</span></i></span></div>Serenity78http://www.blogger.com/profile/02296749315944313797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743139602892514348.post-40055936506186429292009-05-05T20:05:00.000-07:002009-05-05T20:21:29.208-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br /></span></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQkbrz4e2PrxlqBRNGQDWf5wf0lfpD1nw0gzBiTm3neg45HJ3O6j_e5zarrnBpHgN5DNiYKQHpozN_siRiDPeqYfFjgrSzmpcQdw9ll-mf87YQGlPNm4n5IgK-q0ER6awoHojzuKJBEzIl/s1600-h/May+3,+2009+-+Joe%27s+2nd+birthday+party+(15).jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQkbrz4e2PrxlqBRNGQDWf5wf0lfpD1nw0gzBiTm3neg45HJ3O6j_e5zarrnBpHgN5DNiYKQHpozN_siRiDPeqYfFjgrSzmpcQdw9ll-mf87YQGlPNm4n5IgK-q0ER6awoHojzuKJBEzIl/s320/May+3,+2009+-+Joe%27s+2nd+birthday+party+(15).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332542340473254386" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";font-size:x-large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Our baby boy is 2 years old</span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">!<br /></span></span></span></span></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";font-size:24px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">I can hardly believe it!

He runs around all day and barely stops to eat or sleep.He definitely keeps us busy! We had his birthday party at a local restaurant called The Sports Page (since we're regulars there) and it couldn't have gone better! It was a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party and we had all sorts of family and friends show up to celebrate with us. It was a great day! Now it's on to the next fun filled year! No telling what might be in store with a kid like Joe around. ;-)</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: italic;font-size:18px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-style: italic;font-size:18px;"><br /></span></div>Serenity78http://www.blogger.com/profile/02296749315944313797noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743139602892514348.post-12349684432959737832009-04-05T12:12:00.000-07:002009-04-05T12:24:50.872-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMC2tXxG-JWS2s0BAqKM3EYmz_utLDw9jCp2DRp9TS9xXDH04mqwInKrLyBm2zH0vBisSj7zD1SuOTah_IYCq7O6cChf5flwOYPGofM62PfHu4Vl-euWl1KGwUv5OmCm7f998pSfJQcOU/s1600-h/April+2,+2009+(2).jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321287417701710658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMC2tXxG-JWS2s0BAqKM3EYmz_utLDw9jCp2DRp9TS9xXDH04mqwInKrLyBm2zH0vBisSj7zD1SuOTah_IYCq7O6cChf5flwOYPGofM62PfHu4Vl-euWl1KGwUv5OmCm7f998pSfJQcOU/s320/April+2,+2009+(2).jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em> April 5, 2009</em></span></div><p><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000000;"><em></em></span> </p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><em>Joe turns 23 months old today. It's hard to believe that our baby will be turning 2 in just one month. In some ways it seems as though we just brought him home, yet in others it seems as if he' been a part of our lives forever. He's the typical toddler, and is already acting like the typical 2 year old... throwing fits when he dosen't get his way and is butting heads with his Daddy almost daily. It sure is interesting having 2 strong willed men in our home.
