Wish me luck!

So for the passed little while Jon and I have been trying to figure out how to get some extra income so that we can get out of debt faster. Today I got a random phone call from a lady that said taht I had contacted her about babysitting, I totally don't remember but I guess I did. She said that she had someone fall through at the last minute. So she was calling messages she had never responded to and I guess I was one of them. YAY for me! So within the next hour I am going to go meet her and hopefully have a new job!! I will let you know how it goes.

Not much to post

McKenna is just getting so big, I love her so much. She is such a helper and loves babies. It always just makes me smile. She has this new infactuation with books, she will bring one up to you sit on your lap and just wait til you show her the pictures, very rarely will she let you actually read them. She loves her nightime routine with Dad. Its the small time they get together during the days so I know it means alot to them both.

Recently we decided we would really like to try to move out and have no debt but student loans by April, (High hopes but I really think we can do it!) Then hopefully get our own place by next summer. I totally appreciate everything my mother in law does for us. She really is a saint, yet I miss my own place, I miss my dishes, and just my stuff. That is silly I know especially since we live here for next to nothing. I just sometimes feel like we are a burden on my mother in law.

Jon and I also want another kid. We have felt for awhile like it was time but we don't want to have to put any more burdens on Jeri. We feel like it is coming time that another one is in our near future. There is just no way we would put Jeri through that.

So yesterday I got together with one of my friends and looked in the paper and I have a job interview on Saturday with a cleaning company. The main problem is I won't have someone to watch McKenna from 8:30-12:00 every day. I'm sure I could find someone in the ward or something. Its just if I go to work I want to be able to use the money to something besides just day care.

I love my husband dearly, I so often miss him during the weeks and now weekends with him having Saturday school but he is doing it for us and I know that. I'm excited for the holidays, nothing better than serving and being with our family. I hope Jon can get a break and enjoy it this year. We for sure aren't driving to Idaho and back in the same day though. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Nothing really important to post, just some things I had on my mind and needed to get out. Thanks for reading (if you still are)

DUMB DOG!

So my mother in law has a dog, that we all love dearly, but she has a huge problem that needs to stop or I just might lose my mind! She chews on everything while we are gone. Never does it when we are home and it is just so frustrating. I know puppies chew on stuff but we really need this to stop. Since I have been home from Idaho (so two weeks) we have found 3 of my flip flops, a onsie, a brand new pair of McKenna's pajamas, my tennis shoes, a bib, a dress, baby doll has lost her toes! That is just our stuff, she has also ruined one of my mother in laws quilts, her tennis shoes, her church shoes, and our nieces soccer cleats! WHAT DO WE DO?????

Family Pictures

K, So I told you I was updating and so that is exactly what I have done! We also had some family pictures done by our sister in law Cindy and here are some of our favorites. . .

Over the Mountains and through the fields . . .

McKenna and I got to go see Grandma Hurt! YAY! I missed my mom and family terribly so it was a great change of scenery! My mom came down here for work stayed with us and McKenna, Grandma and I left for Idaho.
We stayed up there for six days and loved it, although I did miss Jon and my bed. We got to go to dinner with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Olson, we spent time with Great Grandma Hurt and Great Great Aunt Janet, and McKenna's favorite, lots of time with Grandpa Bubba's Dogs.

Once Jon got up there we went on a date and McKenna got to play with Grandma and Grandpa, Thanks guys!

We also got to go to Spud Day, McKenna was in awe over the parade it was funny, much different then the Fourth of July. We bought a bunch of ribbon to start making our own bows, I will have to take some pictures once I finally get around to making them.

my fav pic that whole week

This is the Place

So on Labor Day this year Jon decided to work to get some over time while McKenna and I went to This is the Place park here in Salt Lake. It was neat. I have never been there before and its always fun to be places you have never been. Plus its great to have family and cousins around to do fun stuff with! Here are a couple pictures, I will try to upload more later.


Here is from left to right McKenna's cousins, Katelyn, Analyse, Isaac, and Hailey. One day I will get her to take a picture without looking around, promise!
and this one was just way to cute not to post!










Treck next year will be fun!

A much needed update!

I love Jon and McKenna so much but for some reason lately there has been such a void. I feel like I am all alone. Jon works and stays really busy with school which is great because his grades this term are amazing its just I miss my husband.

I try to stay busy. I have started going to a financial planning class with my mother in law which is interesting so we will give it a try! Nothing wrong with becoming debt free! I have still been watching the Reynold's boys and they are just adorable. That family was such an answer to our prayers. I have started working out, haven't seen much result yet I really need to change my eating habits. Also I am in the Young Women's in our ward! It happened awhile ago but I have been horrible at keeping this thing updated. I am the Mia-Maids advisor. I love my position even though I often wonder why I was called. The girls have much more to teach me then I could ever teach them.

We have had a lot happen lately. McKenna turned one about a month ago. Hard to believe but she is growing up. She is my pride and joy, no doubt about that one. Her party was fun for everyone I hope. We were blessed to be around some of our closest friends and our family. She is almost twenty pounds finally! She gained two pounds in one month! She loves her babies and drawing, takes after her daddy there.

As for Jon he is just busy with work and school, he is pulling amazing grades this term and McKenna and I couldn't be prouder! Our anniversary is coming up and we still aren't sure what we are doing. We have been so blessed and are so thankful for everything that we have!
