Pictures!!....Update!...FINALLY!

SORRY! I know everyone:) has just been dying to see an update on my blog! Well, this is the update. We bought a house!! We have been here for a little over a month and we absolutely love it. It has taken a little bit to adjust to this space and to make it feel like home. These are pictures of the main level only. If you will please notice my walls, I have just finished painting the whole main level. Once I have the upstairs done, I will post pictures. I am slowly trying to get this home decorated, but I am struggling a bit with what I have and these big walls. I need help!!...(hint,hint...mom!!)
Wynn and I feel truly blessed to call this place our home! Although,if you notice our beautiful yard.....ya, we have lots and lots of work ahead of us. but besides that, we love our home.


Our house on a corner lot

This is our front door. right next to the door are double doors into our office, that is if I can ever clean it out and organize it!

Big Big OUCH!

Chandler usually has way too much fun at his cousins house. They have everything and anything that we don't! He loves to play with all 4 of his silly Jones cousins. They have a big yard with lots or toys, a dog, 13 rats (which we don't even come close to touching!)and the latest is 7 chickens with a new chicken run!....and did I mention the trampoline?? Chandler really loves their tramp. Although he thinks that he's a big boy and can jump all by himself. I let go of him one time....and that did it all! I have never seen a goose egg so huge!!! I almost started crying myself when I saw what I had done to my child. These pictures were later that evening so it had gone down just a little. Let's just say he slept really well that evening!! Sorry Chandler.


...and yet he was still so happy!! (that's of course after all the screaming)

District Meeting 2010

This post is a little late, but we had the Annual Kiewit District Meeting in January, held in Phoenix. Wynn was selected to give a presentation on his project that he is currently working on in front of the whole district which included about 400 employees and their spouses. He did an excellent job! We then had a little fun in the evenings with the activities provided. Each night was a different theme. The picture below was the las vegas night where they had some fun (and fake) gambling going on and other stations of games such as the Wii. It was an enjoyable weekend and fun getaway from the cold!

Date Night

Saturday night I was able to go out with my hubby to a Jazz game. One of Wynn's co-workers had a few extra tickets. I had never been to a Jazz game before and it was way fun. Thanks to Uncle Greg for babysitting Chandler! It was a nice getaway for the evening. I was actually more entertained by the Jazz bear squirting everyone in the audience with silly string than the actual game. But the game was entertaining too. I am starting to feel like and am getting the true experience of a Utahn!! GO JAZZ!!




Why is it that I can NEVER get a cute picture of the two of us. obviously, Wynn loves to take pictures and he is extremely photogenic!! He truly is a cute guy!!

yes, we are still alive!

Hello bloggers! It has been way too long since I posted last. I really hate to admit this, but I'm not the greatest at updating my blog, but I appreciate all you other bloggers that do!

We had a great holiday amongst both the Chandler family and Jones family. It kept us very busy hopping from the two families, but we are grateful to see everyone all at once!

Wynn is continuously busy with work. He is on the Mountain View Corridor Project right now. They are in the process of switching office locations and eventually start on this project. Wynn has been involved a lot with the estimating and structuring of this future freeway. We are so grateful to have this job at this time. Wynn enjoys it more and more as he progresses with Kiewit. We will be flying to Phoenix next weekend for the Kiewit District Meeting and I am excited to go with him.

Chandler is growing everyday it seems like. Since he has graduated from a soft sippy cup to a hard one, I realize that NOW, he is really not a baby anymore. He likes to talk a lot, although most of the time I have no idea what he is trying to say, but I pretend. Lately he has been referring to himself as "Bubba." I'm not sure why he is calling himself that, but I think I'm ok with it. His favorite toy these days is the fridge. He stands by the fridge ALL DAY LONG! If he gets mad, he runs to the fridge. If he is happy,...he runs to the fridge. Only sometimes does he want his milk from the fridge, but mostly, he wants to play with everything inside the fridge. Oh, what fun it is!!

Christmas 2009!!

Chandler watching baby einstein.....loves them!


Chandler and his favorite toy



The look on my face ALL DAY LONG! "Not the fridge Chandler!"......doesn't always work though.

Lights on Temple Square

I was recently put in the Young Women's Presidency, and I love it! Sometimes it's weird to think about me being their leader because I feel like I am still in Young Womens. But then when I actually do the math, it was some 7 years ago....crazy to think about. We have a pretty small group, but they are so fun and I feel like I am starting to build some friendships with all of them. For mutual last night, we went and saw the Christmas lights on Temple Square. BEAUTIFUL! I can't remember the last time I had walked around Temple Square at this time of year. It was so fun and there is definitely a sweet spirit there as you walk and see the beautiful lights and manger scenes from all over the world. I had wished that Wynn was with me last night, but I'm sure that we will go back soon since we live so close. I am so grateful for temples and the beauty they display all over the world.

Trick-or-Treat!...from the Turtle

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Isn't this the cutest turtle you have ever seen? We took him to our ward's Trunk-or-Treating. Let me just say, he had so much fun walking to all the trunks and picking out his own candy. He ALWAYS had to have a piece of candy in each hand. He was so funny to watch. He was squealing and yelling walking to each trunk. And can I add that he wasn't a slow turtle! He was definitely a speedy turtle! It was so fun! I can only imagine how Halloween will be next year!






These are Chandler's 1 year pictures that we just took with Grandma Jones' pumpkins from her garden. They turned out really cute!
