Josh's First Post

Well, I'm finally doing it. Entering the world of 'blogging'. I figure i ought to take the momentous opportunity to tell everyone what a great wife I have. (I'm sure most of you know it), but she is the bestestest ever!

Things have been perdy busy for us up here in the 'P Town'. We seem to be running all over the place back and forth to cedar and down to st. george every now and again. We were way sad we weren't able to go down the last couple of weeks, but are looking forward to Christmas to see our family. (except for you 'brann' and Tyler) (sorry). Anyway, were super excited to see everyone and get out of town. I've been busy doing some more 'remodel' projects around the house as this week was my first week of semester break, and i can't sit still. By the way. GOT A "B" in my calc class...a really good thing, except that it means i just have to keep going on with my Math. Kensi shared in my enthusiasm.....but told me I couldn't talk about math for the rest of the break.

Our little dog Suki is doing well, except she likes to take off lately when i take her out to the bathroom...and has tried the 'I'll just bite your leg if you won't play with me' bit with Kensi. (I'm waiting to see if it works and might adopt the same method)

All in all, were doing good, enjoying life....and loving all of it.

LOVE YOU KENSI>>>muahhahha...now everyone knows ;)

OUR FRONT ROOM BEFORE AND AFTER

Its been really fun getting to decorate this little house to feel like our home. If you'll notice the shelfs that i am super proud of:)
I found them on pottery barn.com and really wanted them and had asked josh if we could have them. They cost about $100 each and i wanted two of them. His reply.

"No".

What? did he say "NO" to ME?! he never says no to me.

" I'll make you some"

Much better than some dumb ol pottery barn right!

FINALLY!!!

Oh yeah.... we got the internet at our house today! after two trys of getting people up here to set us up we finally got it on the third try. Also our neighbors kicked us off there's so we were left with NOTHING :( for almost a month and a half.

I thought i was going to die without it. When they were supose to be here today i kept texting josh and asking how it was going. He finally gave me the good news it was up and running. now all i have wanted to do all day was come home and see how it worked.... lame i know... who dreams about coming home and blogging?

dont worry pictures will be up soon!

FALL IS OFFICALLY HERE {for us anyways}

I wait all year long for this time of year. There is nothing like the crisp weather on your cheeks, bundeling up in a sweater and going for a long walk, or seeing all the lovely trees turning amazing shades of all colors and falling around you.

THIS TIME OF YEAR MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

This is about the time of year I start dreaming of toffee from my mommy.... spending lOTS and LOTs of time with the family. Getting little kids dressed up with fabulous makeup to rock their costumes for Halloween.
and of course..... watching HOCUS POCUS!!!!!

Now I couldn't quite get josh to dress up with me {all right he gave me a flat out NO} but doesnt mean we still dont have fun. Here are some pictures of our little walk we took around parowan with suki and played kick ball in the park. afterwards we finished it up with some hot chocolate and pancakes from the Parowan Cafe!!!






{SUKI had so much fun rolling and running around in the leaves}

SATURDAY NIGHT DINNER

This weekend Tyson and Lori asked if they could come up and see our place and spend sometime hanging out with us. Of course I gave a whole hearted YES! So they brought The orvins along and we made some HOBO dinners and had a lot of fun just hanging out in the back yard. The best was they brought layla up and suki had a cow! She would jump and snap at her and chase big ol layla off... poor layla she just wanted a new friend. Suki on the other hand made a great one. Emma would not put her down for the life of her and suki did not mind in the least being carried everywhere and being doeted on by a girl her size.



This sunday Nick and Megan Blessed there baby and we were not able to come down. We love you Nick and Megan and hope you know we wanted to be there so bad to share the special time with you. Give that cute baby of yours a kiss for us:*



Here are some pictures of our night







{Tyson was teaching emma how to catch a football and when she caught it she cried cause it hurt:P}



{We picked the apples that had fallen to the ground and had big holes in them and used them to play a little baseball}


{mmmmmmnnnnn HOBO dinners were YUMMY}

SUKI

 

We got a puppy!!!! Her name is Suki. We absolutly LOVE this little dog. she was 5 months old when we got her at the pet store. ( we were going to be getting a bran new puppy from this lady, but suki stole my heart when we went in there). At first we were kinda worried about her. we picked her up on saturday and stayed at my parents until sunday, during this time she would not eat or go to the bathroom, she wouldnt play like a normal puppy just sit on my lap and cuddle. Once we got home.... she ran and went to the bathroom and perked right up:) Amazingly she has potty trained herself... not once has she gone in the house:) we just love the new addition to our home.

WELCOME SUKI

PAROWAN GAP

I figure since josh has so much time he needs to study and do homework, that it leave me with many much time by myself. This benefits you who read my blog, or me who "trys" to use this to help remember what we do. The only things i ever wrote about in my journal were the boys who i was in LOVE with, my goodness i liked boys. So i would have to say my blogging has brought better results than my "POOH BEAR journal" ( i know jessa.. this is bringing back so many memories for you of sneaking into it). i even swore i would meat Justin timberlake and he would fall in love with me..... anywho moving on from my girlish ways and onto our recent happenings.

After not being able to stand being in this little house anymore I told josh he needed to get me out of the house this week... ( i was being nice Janel and letting him do homework :) ) i can hear the floor boards squeak as he gets up from the table... my eyes growing wide with excitement knowing he was going to be an amazing husband and take me out. He told me to get my shoes on we were going on a hike....kind of.

I guess there are some pretty cool petroglyphs about 10 minutes from our little house in the Parowan Gap. Its one of the largest amount of petroglyphs in the U.S. While we were there we met some crazy hippies there to watch the fall equanox:) Life is so much fun with josh. It was so nice getting out of the house and getting to spend one on one time with him. He makes me laugh and I love him.

BATHROOM REMODEL

Before we moved up here to Parowan Josh and His friend Enoch completely guttet the bathroom down to the studs and built it back up again. I must say, I had no idea that josh was so talented with the whole remodeling thing:) He did an amazing job. I picked the colors and decorated it, but it would not have been so cute without the talents of my WONDERFULL husband. He even managed to make it bigger!!

{here is the before picture}

LABOR DAY

For Labor day this year we decided to stay up in Parowan and have the Meachams come to us!
It was so much fun. Josh's parents,Amberli and Brooks, and Mariah and Kyle all came up to watch the Parowan Parade and have some yummy food after. We got some pretty good candy from the parade too:) Sorry Amb... your the only one i didnt get a picture of at the parade (well kyle too but he didnt get up here in time for the parade:( )
Thanks everyone for coming up to visit us.... it gets so lonely sometimes :D

CROQUET....

Indulge me for a moment as I take a little stroll down memorie lane.
Almost every sunday my family and I would play a little rousing game of Croquet.
Mother would get mad that this was not a sunday activity, thus causing us to turn it into scripture Croquet to appease the Lady.
The game would usually go something like this.

all start at the beginning equal in winningness.
Kensi and Nick pulling ahead and beign greatness.
jessica hitting or "scooting" the ball while no one was looking... or looking it didnt matter.
jessica "scooting" the ball through the hole.
Kensi or Nick getting posion and kicking everyones butts.


When i got home today. The usuall happened, josh did homework and i.... i looked at the wall. that is until josh got done and surprised me with a little worn down croquet set he found in the back shed. We walked up to Maverik and got some bubble gum suckers then started or game!

It was so much fun. Just like old times. Only no bree clear in the back and randomly up at the front with us winners( cheater ). Just like old times..... i KICKED josh's but. I won twice:)

"update your blogs NOW. I dont miss you guys and want to know how you are doing with pictures. I know I can physically threaten you and I will withhold pictures of a certain new baby that is almost here if I don't see a new post from at least 3 of you rotten siblings"
- straight from the blog itself... copy and pasted.

Of all people Bree.... out of all my 7 siblings. you, you would be the last person I would have thought capable of this treatury you have brought into the blogging world. I can even see this as tyler's doing if it were not for the BIG black stamp of approval that you adorn all of your posts with.

Threats are no good to me, even though it seems like its working.... me posting and all. But in all reality its not. Not in the slightest is it working.... YOU WILL BE GETTING NO PICTURES FROM ME.

Rebellion... are you happy with what you've made me do?

WANTED....

We are in search of this


We want a teacup yorkie.... if anyone knows where we can get one at a good price let us know!!!
