Exciting News
I am SUPER excited so I have to share with everyone. I got into the nursing program at the DATC! YAY! Finally! It starts in January. I am contracted with IASIS meaning I will have to 
work for them full time for two years after I graduate or else pay them $4,400. I plan to work while I do it. Yah it's going to suck but what can I do? Life goes on. It will totally be worth it in the end. So join with me in saying cheers to me!

Photo Shoot
The pictures of our family that we have on our wall were getting outdated. I didn't feel like paying a professional a ton of money to get new ones, so I decided to dust of my photography skills and put them to work. We went to the Ogden Parkway and took a few pictures.
Donovan was being a little stinker. He didn't want his picture taken!
So as you can see I need to brush up a bit on my skills. But with some digital editing I will atleast have something to hang on my wall.

Camping
Addison, Donovan, and I went camping with my mom and step-dad a couple of days ago. We had a really good time and it was good to get up into the mountains that I love so much. 
My favorite thing to take pictures of is scenery. So I had to put just one in. Donovan's favorite thing to do was cook things in the camp fire. Lets just say, this got to be quite dangerous. He couldn't quite grasp the concept that the cooker was hot and sharp on the end. He was roasting marshmallows later that night and almost caught Grandpa's blanket on fire.
Addison was SO excited to go swimming. She didn't believe her mom that the water was going to be super cold. This is about as far in as she got. They had fun throwing rocks in the water though. Addison and I had a throwing contest and I was shocked to see her actually throw farther than me. Donovan loved throwing rocks in the water, but he didn't love going into the water to get the rocks to throw.
We took a little hike to the cave. It usually has water in it so you have to walk on rocks to go in. This year the water was too high. It was above the rocks, so we didn't go in. Its a good thing anyway cuz I forgot the flashlight. My mom put me in charge of cooking dinner that night because she was busy trying to get millions of box elder bugs out of her trailer. We were having foil dinners and usually when we make them we put way too much food in them. So I thought I would be smart and do good portions. Well I wasn't smart enough to decrease the cooking time.
All but one of them were burnt to a crisp. And, oh ya, the mushrooms we put in...they disintegrated! Good thing Grandpa likes his dinner crispy!

Little Opera Girl
I know, I know! I am extremely behind on posting. I am sorry. I don't get much computer time. So all year long in first grade Addisons class was working on an Opera. They made it up and put it to music and made the scenery and costumes and everything. With some help from the Utah Opera Company. They put on two performances, one for the school and one for friends and family. They did an excellent job. The pictures didnt turn out very good, but here they are anyway.

Busy Life!
It's been a minute since I last posted. Sorry! With the end of school has come an onslought of new activities and projects. We got our new windows installed so we decided we needed new blinds and that we needed to paint the new trim around the windows before we put the blinds up. So we have been busy doing that. They are looking really good so far. When we get the rest of the house painted it is going to look awsome. I am excited. I have also been working on Addison's room trying to get it finished up. I just need to put on the clear coat and put the ceiling fan up. After that we will get her new bed put in and put it all back together. I am excited! We still have our yard to finish putting in as well. Ah the joys of being a home owner! I will try to get pics up soon!

Soccer Fun!
Addison has been playing soccer for a bit now. I, unfortunately, did not get to attend very many games due to my Saturday morning class. But I did get a few pictures from one of them. Her team has some awsome players on it and they have won all but one game. That one was a tie game. So they are undefeated. Her last game is this Saturday. Here are some pics! Enjoy!
