Steph got me ...

So, Stephanie tagged me but, if you read mine, don't read Alicia's - it will make me seem like an incredibly boring person.

Four Places I've Lived:
1. Mesa, AZ
2. Maumelle, Arkansas
3. Payson, AZ
4. Thatcher, AZ

Four Favorite Books:
*sorry, my reading level isn't really advanced, I've never read any classics unless I was forced to in school ...
1. Harry Potter Books
2. Twilight Books
3. Children of the Promise/Hearts of the Children books
4. My all time favorite children's book is 'Heckedy Peg' ... I used to think it would be fun to get turned into food. Plus, the pictures are gorgeous - if you've never read it, you seriously have to. It's awesome. Look, you can get it here for only $7.00 - buy it, you won't regret it.

Four Favorite Movies:
1. Sound of Music - except for the part where they sing 'Climb Every Mountain'
2. Mulan
3. Saving Private Ryan (yes, yes I know it's rated R but, if you've seen it I'm pretty sure it's on your "favorites list" and if you haven't you have no right to judge me ... it really is that good)
4. Italian Job

Four Embarrassing Facts About Me:
1. I am afraid of the dark too Steph. I HATE going outside at night because I always think someone is going to be following me.
2. My bathroom is disgusting and could really use a scrub down ... I'm just too lazy to do it.
3. I still haven't lost all my baby weight from Kason's pregnancy - he just turned 18 months and I really think I should do something about it.
4. I secretly wish I was a gymnast or an ice skater so I could compete in the Olympics - I get the urge to start training every 2 years during the Olympics.

Four Dreams of Mine:
1. To be a non-annoying, fun yet strict mom with incredibly well behaved, talented, good-looking & well dressed children. Is that too much to ask?
2. TRAVEL! I love to travel anywhere, it's so fun to see other parts of the world.
3. Own my own business - lately I've been thinking along the lines of home decor ... think of how cute my house would be!
4. Go on a mission with Kameron when we get older.

Four Pet Peeves:
1. People who don't control their children in public (I know all kids have tantrums in public, that's not what I'm talking about because then I would be a hypocrite ...)
2. Liars
3. When people say they're going to do something and they don't
4. Not having the money for the things I want

Four things that make me Really Happy:
1. Kameron - he loves me alot, alot. I love that.
2. Kason - especially when he learns new things, or does funny stuff. But not so much when he pulls of his diaper and runs around the house naked screaming.
3. Chocolate - especially See's Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cream - if you ever make me mad, you can buy me some of these and I'll forgive you.
4. Shopping - for anything. I love it.

See I told you I wasn't as interesting as Alicia and for that I apologize.

Do it if you wish ... leave me a comment if you do because I'll want to read it.

Bitter Sweet ...

Kason's first official day of church nursery was August 3rd. It was so wonderful! He didn't even care that we left - he waved bye and ran to find a toy. Thank heavens for that! And everytime we go pick him up they tell us he was really good ~ so hopefully this trend keeps up!

It's nice to have him in nursery because I can actually pay attention again but it's also sad because he really is growing up! I can't believe he's already 18 months old! The past year and a half has gone by so fast! He is such a fun kid and we love having him around!!

Here are a couple pictures before we headed to church:

Jobs ... Anyone?

Does anybody know of ANY jobs in the valley that are open??
Pays good, decent hours, good company.

Kameron can do anything - he's like a

"jack of all trades"

... seriously.

oh, but he cannot work outside for extended periods of time.

ANY help is appreciated!!

the problem:

(last nights dinner)

the solution:

(he looks mad in this picture - i think he was just cold)

the result:

(one happy toddler, clean and ready for bed!)

Our Goofy Boy ...

Yesterday in church (which by the way was his last Sunday with us - next week = NURSERY!)

Anyways in Sacrament they were announcing some new callings and one of the guys stood up and then everyone sustained him. Well, Kason saw this so he stopped looking at the book he was reading and hurried to climb off the bench. Then he stood up all tall and raised his hand and then sat back down. It was SO hilarious - Kameron and I were trying so hard not to laugh out loud at him!!!

Then, in Relief Society I was sitting by the back door and Kason was playing with a couple other kids. And right when it got silent Kason knocks on the door. It was so loud and everyone turns around and looks at the door. All us mom's in the back corner were busting up laughing.

Kids are so hilarious - he sure keeps us laughing!!!!

Now going on 5!

Kameron and I had our 4 year anniversary on June 25th! I can't believe it's already been 4 years. It's amazing to look back on the past 4 years and see everything that we've done together. It's been a wonderful 4 years - and I can't wait for the rest of eternity (corny eh?) But, it's true - I'm so grateful I am able to be sealed to Kameron for ETERNITY! What an amazing blessing!! It kills me to see other couples get married and not reap the blessings of eternal marriage. Thank heavens for no "till death do you part" in this family!!!

June 25, 2004: Mesa, AZ Temple

(sorry about the quality of these - I had to scan them in)

June 26, 2004: Payson, AZ - Reception
(taken by my AMAZINGLY talented cousin, Emily)

I LOVE these girls! They are all so amazing! I miss 'em!!! And I'm so excited because come August 9th - we'll all be married! (Karilyn is the last to join the club!)

This picture is so special to me, this is a picture of our Sealer and his wife. Bud and Virginia Whipple are family friends and he does sealings at the Mesa Temple so we were able to have him seal us! It was pretty neat - this is taken at our luncheon after the ceremony! Such a neat old couple!

I know now that I would change somethings about our wedding day ESPECIALLY some of the pictures (I didn't get a picture with my dress train out or with my grandpa that was here from Utah ((sorry Grandpa)) or our rings) oh and I would have been on time!! I think I was 45 mintues late to take pictures the morning we got married (whoops!) But, everything else was perfect :o)

For our anniversary we went out to dinner - child free. That's always a treat!! Then I think we went to Walmart - exciting huh??

Well, I have LOTS more to post about so I'll get on it ASAP!

FINALLY!

We're back online! We got a new laptop Monday so we're finally able to be online on a regular basis, which I'm very excited about!

Now I have lots of catching up to do. And, I'm totally bummed but I lost about 3 1/2 years of pictures when our computer crashed - pretty devestating. Hopefully someone will know how to get them off - any computer pros??

So, once we get back into the groove of things I'll get some posts up!

Jus' Google It!

Our computer crashed so I have no pictures of my own to post so, until we get it back up and running here are some pictures, curtosy of Google.

(this is a picture of my Grandma and Grandpa Young in La Habra CA in the 1970's)

June 14th we had a Young Family Reunion in Payson. (my mom's side of the family) So we were up there for the weekend to spend time with family. It was so good to see everyone! I really wish that I had gotten more pictures since we don't get together too often. I might have to steal some of Emily's when they get posted on her blog. Anyways - here are some pictures from the weekend ...


We took Kason to Christopher Creek and he was pretty intrigued by the rushing water!

Playing with a pinwheel during the family meeting *whoops!*

The Payson Library has an AWESOME children's room so we took Kason to see it and get out of the heat!

Swimming in the FREEZING Payson pool!

Modeling his Great-Grandpa's Cowboy hat. My grandpa was almost ALWAYS wearing a hat! That is one memory I have of him.

It was a fun weekend and I'm glad we were able to get together as a family. My mom did an AMAZING job planning it and getting everything taken care of!! It was a good relaxing weekend.

(ps: I just realized ALL my pictures are of Kason ... I think I have a few of other people, I might have to find them and post them along with the one's I snatch from Em.)
