Our Happenings

"To live would be an awfully big adventure" -Peter Pan

He got me a camera! Yes, I know that I already have a great camera but I wanted one that I could carry in my purse for quick snap shots and such! I am so excited and I love it. He always gets me great gifts!

I can't believe we have been married 4 years!! So far we have had quite an adventure and made some great memories!!

I can't wait for many more years of excitment and laughter! I know that tears will come and I am grateful for someone who will help me through! I am so glad Stoney came into my life and I love him with all my heart!

Last night my sweet Great Grandma Jones past away.

She lived to the ripe old age of 93! She was wonderful. She had the greatest memory. You could sit and talk to her about anything and she would always remember what things were going on in your life. I loved when she would tell stories of things "long ago". I remember when she told me about the first light bulb she got in her house.

I was the first great grandchild to get married. So that was pretty cool that she was able to be there. She had the best sewing talent. I have so many quilts and do-dads she sewed for me. I am so grateful that I was able to know this wonderful lady. I know that she is happy and having a wonderful reunion in heaven!

I have wanted these statues for a long time and now I finally have them. This is my Christmas present from Stoney, Thanks baby! And yes I know Christmas is over, but I wanted to order them after so it was half price!! Yay for me!!

So today I went and saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I LOVED it!! It was almost 3 hours long, but it is worth it. There aren't any slow or boring spots. And yes I did get tears in my eyes, so if you usually cry be prepared. It was so good, I will be buying it when it is on dvd!! Go see it and tell me what you think!

I am so glad that I was able to go to AZ for awhile. I loved staying with my family and seeing friends. I miss you each one of you already. But don't worry I will be back soon! Things with Stoney's schooling changed a bit. He will be going back in February/March, so I will be coming to AZ again.

I also got to see a Mesa football game, where Blake played QB and passed for the "icing on the cake" touchdown.

My mom had been taking some pilates classes with my cousin Kara, so I decided to join. It was definately a butt kicking class but I really enjoyed taking it and am going to miss it.

Then there was a Stake youth dance festival, where Blake did a great job. Even though he only went to a couple of practices.

I got to spend some time with my friends and see their new houses and meet the babies that joined their families. It was so fun to see all of you.

Then it was Thanksgiving time. This year Stoney and I spent it apart because he only got 2 days off. So it was a little pointless for me to come back to Arkansas and then back to AZ. So my family and I spent it with the Julander side and some of my mom's side. It was so much fun!

Then after dinner was over we decided to play our annual game of kickball. Even tho we haven't played for a long time.

The score was like 4 to 25, so the boys totally killed us. But it was fun and of course there were some pee your pants moments!

Then we went to see Twlight.

I loved it. I was like everyone else and didn't really like who they casted, but after seeing everyone in action I thought everyone was prefect.

This year my grandma bought each family a gingerbread house. And since Stoney wasn't there I got to decorate it all by myself.

Blake and I got to sit together

and I totally had to sit right behind this big fat guy. But eventually my knees did the trick cuz he ended up moving over.

Then I got to see more of my friends and get Christmas shopping in. Which congratulations to me I finished the first week in December!

Then after being busy with family and friends and spending 2 months apart Stoney finally flew into AZ!!

I surprised him with a short trip to Scottsdale and a stay at the Orange Tree Golf Resort. I loved the room we got and I completely fell in love with the jacuzzi tub.

We hung out with friends, which was awesome!!

Stoney got to ride in a Viper and I got a picture with it!

Of course us kids woke up first. We made and ate breakfast and then the opening began. We got a lot of great stuff. Thanks to those who gave us gifts.

We went and played volleyball with some family and got bruises and sore muscles.
