so behind

ok i haven't gotten around to putting up the pictures from wyoming yet, but i have been way too busy. I found out at the end of last week that i got a job at the new Sage Hills Elem. I am so excited!!!! I feel so lucky and blessed to have gotten a job last minute. i was planning on just subbing this year and hopefully find a teaching job next year, but things always seem to work out! I started working on monday and really sometimes feel like i have no idea what i am doing, but things are coming together and i am so excited to begin my career in teaching. When i finally get the pictures from my old work computer onto my new work computer i will post some pics of the rafting trip.

home

well we finally made it home. I definitely could have stayed another week. The ride home was soooo long because of my dumb ass! I missed the park city exit so we went through heber which was no biggy, but we (me, mckell, will and taylor) got stuck behind a huge wreck in the provo canyon. truck and trailer tipped blocking all lanes so we spent about three hours stopped in the canyon. it really wasn't too bad though it was kinda fun to talk and get to know them all on a better level. The trip was a blast for the most part. i had so much fun with my family and it was nice to get away from EVERYTHING! but now i feel like i need a RELAXING vacation from this vacation because the river trip is busy busy busy and when you add three little babies and three kids under six and then the whole rest of the crew it was overall exhausting BUT so worth every minute of it. I would get in my car and go back right now if i could and do it all over again! I will post pictures tomorrow when im at work. But i hope you all had a great and safe 24th!

Waiting

I can't wait to get the heck out of here tomorrow!!!!

vacation

The fam is getting ready for our camping trip to Wyoming for the 24th.....thanks to the Heislets (sorry if i spelled it wrong) My family is friends with their family and do work together. Two summers ago my parents were invited to go on their annual river rafting trip and my parents decided to go, which is surprising since they NEVER go on vacations anymore. So my parents me and my sisters and Billy (a friend of mine) went. We had so much fun and they were such amazing people to spend our vacation with that my family decided to go every year. Last year my whole family went and it was so fun. It was crazy to get the whole family on vacation together and it is very rare so it definitely is a treat. This year the family is even bigger and going for even longer so im so excited!!!! There are 21 people in my family that are going this year so we are bringing two trailers and a tent to fit everyone. Half of the fam is leaving on Saturday and the rest of us are going in the middle of next week due to work. I'm so excited, i love vacations with the whole fam! Anthony's family might even be going too which would be SO FUN! Anthony has been friends with the heislets (Candice)since he was like 12 so he has gone with them many times. We didn't get to go on our Hawaii trip this year and I am really missing it so this vacation is even that much more exciting since we haven't been able to get away yet this summer. We love to see everyone each year and have so much fun with everyone that goes! I highly recommend going on vacation with any of the families that go river rafting each year, they are all such fun and nice people. They really make our vacation so much better! Thanks again Heislets we love you guys and all of your friends! Here are some pictures from last year and the year before.
These are from the first year we went

Everyone in the back of the truck early in the morning to go to the river....it was so COLD and the water is freeeeeeeeezing!!!

I LOVE this picture of Sara, she is so dang cute and i LOVE her pregnant belly! yes both of my sister in laws were pregnant last year and couldn't go down the river so this year will be even funner.


Here is some of the family after we got off the river.


Poor Anna got a shot of everyone mooning the camera and my mom is checking to see if her daughters really were showing their bums haha

Graduate!!!!

It is now official, i graduated on Friday and the day turned out great. It was so fun to see some of my old classmates that i hadn't seen really since December. A lot of them i became extremely close to so it was fun to laugh, talk and catch up a little bit. President Monson spoke at our graduation and it was amazing they also gave him and his wife an honorary doctorite which was such an amazing way to finish off the ceremony. We went to eat at Olive Garden after and like always it was delicious. here are some pics of graduation.






Then on Saturday my three older nieces had a dance competition. It was so cute to see them do their little dances. They are too adorable!!!!








Later Sat I played with my nieces all night which was a blast and we all got to watch my little sister McKell get ready and leave to her senior prom. She looked absolutely beautiful and her and Will are so whooped over each other it is so cute!


Now onto the "job" subject....I have had two interviews now, one on thursday and I had one again today. Cross your fingers for me to at least get more interviews or get hired on somewhere. I have so many more pictures to put up, but it takes too long so maybe i will post more another day :)

Easter

Easter was so fun, i love when my family all gets together! There is always some source of good entertainment with everyone. On Sat we had an Easter egg hunt at my parents barn. I love watching all of my nieces. I am so lucky to be an aunt to six little girls who I have to say are the CUTEST girls on earth.
Constance, Isabella and Gesenia with my hot momma

The older girls Braylee, Avery and Anelie and gma Vest


Then on Sunday my parents had an amazing dinner with my dad's famous ribs. Anthony and I hid some eggs so the girls could have an easter egg hunt (since they were in trouble on sat and couldn't look for eggs)


We then went to anthony's parents and got an easter basket (thank you staci) with a new guide to readng the B.O.M. which i am so excited to start into. After about ten minutes of being there i started not feeling too well. We go home and i go to sleep just to wake up with the worst migrain.. AND once again anthony is the BIGGEST sweetheart and gets up and gets my medicine a cold washcloth and is freaking out trying to get me to go to the er or call my mom. he stayed up all night even though he had to be to work early the next morning just to keep his eye on me...Best husband EVER! anyway it has gradually been dieing off but it was horrible until wed night. So i finally am back to work today and really hope i don't ever have to experience that again.

On another note, my little sister Mckell turned 18 yesterday WOW that is so weird to me, i was just turning 18, now she is going to be off to college in the fall. Crazy how time flies so fast.


I have the best family ever and aren't my nieces the cutest girls ever?!?! boys better watch out!!!

Also I went and saw the puppies adn they are so cute here is a picture.

I'm going to be a MOMMY!!!

So i went to the gyno today to get some tests done and came home with a bag full of prenatal vitamins, when i got home i just gave the bag to anthony since he was home for his lunch break. He looked inside and said "whats this? no way! are you serious? babe tell me the truth?" so i said yep the doctor said that lots of women have a menstral cycle when they are pregnant. he says "holy shit, are you serious" at this point i couldn't hold a straight face anymore and i told him that I was kidding, but i had him going, it was great, I always try and trick him to see his reaction and he usually never falls for it, but i got him this time! now when i really do get pregnant he is not going to believe me. however, yes its true i am going to be a mom, but not to a baby.....Ralphy got his woman pregnant and she had the puppies TODAY. She had seven!!!! and we get pick of the litter. I am so excited! Bulldog puppies are the cutest puppies ever. we are going to see them tonight i cant wait. you know those people you can't stand that talk about their dogs 24/7 and act like they are their kids well i have a feeling anthony and i are becoming those people :(.

anyways on another note, my last day of school is tomorrow and my senior project and senior portfolio are due....both of which i still need to due. i worked on my project for 5 hours and only have half of it done so i guess its going to be a late night tonight after work trying to finish it. STUPID me for procrastinating everything. oh well i will get it done. I would like to say thur will be my last day of school ever, but it won't i WILL get my masters, but not for a while, anthony thinks i should just keep going, but i just want to work and make money for now so we will see what i decide.
