Playing Catch Up

I thought that it was time for a update. We had the joy of having Jada come up from Texas for about a month and half. We had so much fun doing lots of sleep overs, playing with cousins and friends, playing at he park, visiting family, going to see grandpa Birds grave, going to Hoogle Zoo and then also the Parade's. I have to say beware of the giant post, they are also kinda all mixed up.









Jada, Kamille, Angie, Lissa and Jovi and I were waiting for the 4th of July Parade and the Rodeo Parade. The girls really enjoyed it until it started getting alittle to long but then the horses came along and they got all excited again.

Jada spent just about every evening and then usually ALL weekend at my house... We did all kinds of things this is one fo Jada and her friend Angel at the park on evening.

This another day at the park. We did alot and she loved every minute of it.

Sorry Kamille I had to.....

Jada being a Parrie Dog at the zoo.

Jada getting ready to ride the train at the zoo.

What can I say.... I was trying to show Jada what to do.

Jada had to get a picture of her on the Gorilla. You can't tell but I am behinde her holding her up, I let go for 2 seconds and she flipped out so I had to stay there.

The Tiger was in the water and I was able to get this great photo of him.

Jada need a picture on the cats as well.

The night before we went to the Hoogle Zoo we decided to go the small Willow Park Zoo in Logan. We discovered that not only did Kamille and I hate the Peacocks but so does Jada. While we were at Hoogle Zoo we decided to get this picture of Jada with the peacock behind the glass and as you can tell she is not happy that I had her do it as soon as I got the picture she was out of there.

Jada trying to get her picture in the lion head. Now you see why aunt Karyn had to show her how to do it.

We had a family reunion at my Uncle Doug's house in Newton and they had a slip and slide for the kids they had so much fun. Jada loved being there and seeing all the family and playing with the cousins. Thanks again Uncle Doug and Aunt MaRee for the great time.

While we were headed up to Newton we decided to stop by and visit Grandpa Bird. This is Jada standing next to his headstone. We sure do miss you Grandpa.

This is just a random picture of one night that Jada was over at my house. I had to snap a picture of her "holding" my Strawberry Shortcake doll. (This is one that my Grandma Oviatt had her house that the girls always fought over and Grandma let me have her, I had so much fun with my cousins and this doll sure does bring back all those memories I said holding because I told Jada she could play with it outside and so she said she woudl just hold it.) That is also my dog Tater who just loves Jada when ever she comes (she lets him lick her, and we don't) but he doesn't leave her side at all it is so cute.

Jada and Jovi both staying at my house one weekend and we had just got done mixing the cookie batter and they wanted to lick off the extra batter. They are such great helpers and love coming and making cookies. They are also such a great examples to me. One the weekends they wanted to make cookies and take to George's grandpa and whenever they came over they always wanted to go and visit George's grandpa and would talk to him and give him hugs. I just know at there age if I didn't have to go and see older people I was okay with that and here are these two that could get enough of it.

This is us at Bufflo Bills grave. Jada had to get a picture on the horse.

Dad, my Grandma Oviatt and I were the ones that went and got Jada from Texas. (It was a long 4 day trip) This is one the way back when were so happy to see the Colorado, we could at least see mountain's again. So we had to get a picture under the sign like every other tourist.

We also were able to go to the Capulin Volcano. Here is a picture of Grandma standing in front of the Volcano.

Here is Jada standing in front of the Volcano. She thought is was so cool.

We had found this Border Collie not chasing a Parrie Dog but acutally hearding it. It was so much fun to watch.

Yay!! We are leaving New Mexico!

But before we could leave Texas dad found this bored to stick your heads so since dad made Grandma and I do on our way in we made Jada do it on the way out.

This my grandma in the car on the way to Texas she was telling all kinds of stories from her growing up and my dad growing up. That so much fun to hear all the stories.

My parents also had puppies and so we went over and would get our "puppy lovin" as we called it. Here is a picture of Kamille getting her "puppy lovin".

Just a picture of the sky that I got that was really cool. I believe it was over Strawberry.

Kamille and I decided last minute to run to Orem and have a little fun. We ran into my mom who had Jovi and she wanted to come with us and so here she is playing with the stickers we got her. She was so good on this trip she didn't complain once and she didn't ask for anything and I think she came away with more then she would have other wise. We had so much fun and now she keeps asking when are going to do it again.

We took her to Krispy Creme's this is her watching the doughnuts.

Well as I said this would be a long post and sadly there are many more pictures that I could have put up but decided this was enough. I don't think I will take as long next time to update. We hope that everyone is doing well with their lives.

Family Fun and birthday's

We had such a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. We spend as much time with Jaron and Melia as we could since they were only in town for one short weekend. They were here for Melia's brother wedding. I didn't get alot of picture's at mom and dad's, but it was Brigham's birthday (two days after they left) so we decided to celebrate his birthday. Here are a few picture's that we got from the party. We really miss you guys! We were also able to talk to Chase on Mother's day.... We sure do miss him as well. He is doing really well and having such a blast on his mission. I don't think that Christmas will get here fast enough.

Puppies

My dad has two German Shephard's and needless to say we now have 8 puppies getting ready to run around. They are so cute, but as George keeps reminding me all puppies are cute just wait until they get older. Here are a few of the favorite pictures that I have gotten so far. I am sure that we are going to have alot more picture's taken.

Can't Wait.....

New Happenings!

We are fist of all enjoying this warmer weather! George just got a new work and he still busy at work. I have just been called to be the Sunbeam teacher. I have taught a total of 3 times so far and they are getting better, at least this last time I didn't have any crying or any that escaped from the classroom. I am looking forward to getting to know each and everyone of these special spirits. Well that is all that is new with us. Like I have I said as things start happening we will put them up on the blog.

Busy, Busy

I thought that I would write a quick update on George and I. I have been meaning to do an update for over a week. George of course is still working all the time, the good news is he may get to hire a second person so then he can start getting everyother weekend off at least. I am have been working as well as taking care of my dad since he had surgery on his foot on Monday the 8th. Needless to say he has not been having fun. I just got back from spending the weekend with my grandma. Kamille and I drove my dad down so that he could visit with her. Well as you can tell we still haven't had alot going on. I know ONCE spring gets here and we can get out of the house things will really start picking up.

I feel so bad that we don't update much on the blog since I have been updating a lot on Chase's blog. George is staying busy at work. I am staying busy at work. We went over to Grandpa Allred's house last Saturday and installed a surround system and a new tv for him and watched some Olympics. It's always nice to spend time with him. We just found out that there will be some excitement soon. We are going to be helping dad out a lot then next month or so since he is getting his surgery done on his foot. This means that we will be making a lot of trips out to Salt Lake.

The best news is that I am really starting to see the snow melting away. This means that we can play fetch with the dogs soon and just sit outside and eat our lunches. I am really looking forward to the warmer days.

Well that is about all that is happening with us. I hope that everyone is doing well. Is having a lot more excitement around their house.

I thought that since I was updating Chase's blog that I would update our blog as well. Although not a whole has been going on with George and I. We are still really boring and work and come home. George has been picking up at work he has been out in the field quite a bit. At my job we are doing some new training stuff that is keeping me busy. George is getting ready to go and do some training in Brighton for a couple of days, sadly he leaves V-day. We have Kamille living with us since Chase has left on his mission. Tater can wait until the snow goes away so that he start playing fetch outside. (the house is just to small, and he tired of getting hit in the head.) Cuddles just loves to try and take the ball away from Tater or playing her own game. Well I hope that i haven't bored you so much with our boring lives.

Hey everyone we just got another email from Chase. He is doing well for all the cancelled appointments and doors closing in his face. He also said he has a new address and so if you need that let me know.

Jon Schmidt

My mom and I was able to go to a Jon Schmidt concert here in Vernal. We had such a great time. I loved to watch the way he loved doing what he was doing. Here are some pictures that I got from the concert. I also down loaded of one of the songs that I just can't get enough of so enjoy it. Thanks mom for going with me.

Distraction

We were out in SLC. While we were driving on the freeway and came across this. If you can't see the picture is a Mini Cooper with a tv in the trunk. I made Kamille hurry and get the camera and take a picture.

Jovi's birthday

I can't believe how fast Jovi is growning up. She just turned four. Here are some pictures from her birthday party. The first thing she said when I walked in the was "Karyn look at my nails, I have nails like you". She also possed everytime that she unwrapped a present.


Her blowing out her candles.

Her first present.

This was the last one and she HAD to get a picture.

Jada and aunt Jen called to wish her a happy birthday and she was happy to talk to them for a few minutes before she thanks bye.
