Fishing at its best...

This is a pic of my little sister Kamilla fishing up in Canada. You can't tell from the distance, but one her eyes was completely swollen shut. Looked pretty painful. That was a really fun trip and I had the picture saved, so there we are. The other picture is of a bunch of family. My little brother and I are a lot more alike than either of us would like to admit. We have the same terrible posture and the folded arms. Thats us leaning against the canoe. Love that little guy.

Shawn and I are doing great. We moved into a nice little house that we absolutely adore. We get to stay in it till April. We both just finished finals and both of us passed Accounting, which is the most tedious class ever. Shawn is doing flight instruction and I am training people at the gym. We both love our jobs and get just enough hours to make it work for us. My job picks up during New Years, (New Year resolutions) and his slows down, due to the weather. We are very happy and enjoy working out together, flying together, talking about our goals and dreams, and just being around each other.

Sorry it took me so long to update. I will do better.

Learning to fly!!

Last week for date night we decided to go night flying and try to catch the moon rising. I had a blast. Shawn took off and then let me take the plane. It is a little decathlon. It is very responsive. I climbed to about where Shawn told me to, and then he taught me how to do slips. This is where you loss a lot of alititude without gaining airspeed. I usually get sick doing stuff, but because it was night and I was in the front seat, I felt fine.
Today we decided to take it up again and do some landings. I helped out on the last one and didn't do to shabby. Planes are pretty pricey, so you really don't want to be impulsive or rash. I am learning a lot. Once you get high enough up it is pretty easy. But take offs and landings can be tricky. Shawn is a great teacher and I am just eating it up.

Our new do's!!!

I know what you thinking? What happened and why?!! Well Shawn thought he needed a haircut. It took me about 3 minutes to mess up enough to have to use a one on the back of his head. He was so sweet about it. As you can see, he is fast losing his hair. Before long he will have hair like his uncles...or should I say he won't have hair, like his uncles. I still love him as much as the long curly haired man I married. And my hair is blonde and short again. I just wanted a change. I was trying to let it grow out, but it was taking 4ever. It is fun to play with it.

This is how I feel sometimes...

I love the Farside jokes. They are so funny but sadly very very true.

We are doing ok...

I am guessing by now everyone has heard about our little baby. I thought I was 8 weeks. The doctors took a look and said 6 weeks. A week later I have a misscarriage. The baby was 9-10 weeks old with a heart beat. But it was less than half the size it should have been. It is for the best, we are sure. We love you all and we are doing better everyday.

Visit Curt and Mel!

Shawn and I stopped in Utah and got to see Sarah off to her first day of school. She is one cutie patootie. We always love visiting Curt and Mel. Lots to do and see. Our day at Curt and Mels started off with a bowl of cereal and muffin. Then we watched a couple of episodes of the office with Sarah. Our favorite was the episode when Dwight traps a bat on Merediths head. Or maybe when Dwight is the hero and saves Jim's life. They are all so funny.

Then Shawn took me out to lunch at Sego Lily. It is a little french restuarant in Bountiful. Delicious. When we got back it was time for Sarah's first day of big kid school. We all went to drop her off.

We went to Gateway Mall for a couple hours and saw some cute skirts, bought some cute shirts, and ate delicious cookies with Mel. It was pretty fun!

3 Not-so-little Girls

Here are what used to be the little girls. They are all so huge now. Well...taller and a little thicker. Cute and pretty. Olivia is in 5th grade now. She is pretty much an old fart. Kamilla is in 7th grade and ready to play sports. Veronica is a new freshmen. They are nice little girls who always listen to their mother.

Arizona!!!

Shawn and I are in Arizona. Its beautiful here. We are staying on Route 66. It is just like it is in Cars. Well....sorta. There are lots of old buildings and histoirical sites. Its fun to ride around and watch the tourist checking everything out. Lots of Europeans. The community is very nice. Lots of old stuff. Nice nice old cars. I think I saw Mater. He was sleeping, but I could see buck teeth peeping out from the front bumper.
