I've been tagged! (me, Lynsie not Ken)

Five things on my to do list:
1. Run, ken and I made a goal that if we run every day except sundays, we get to reward ourselves with.....dun-dun-dun-dah..."Dan in Real Life" my favorite movie. And its not only my favorite just because I am obsessed with the office.
2. Find a job I can do at home (so I can be home with baby Luke)
3. Remember to water the seeds I planted in our flowerbed, and work on planting our first garden...it may just end up being spinach (someone gave us some seeds free) but it will still be really fun (I'm not really an experienced gardener...or flower planter)
4. Maybe finish one of the four or five books I am reading
5. I don't know there's a lot of stuff every day: dishes, laundry, dinner

Five things people don't know about me:
1. I love art
2. I love music (I sing and play the guitar)
3. I have an associates degree in professional preschool education (I bet you didn't know there was any such thing!)
4. I am a Jacob fan (from the twighlight books)
5. I have a serious addiction to chocolate :/

Five things that aren't my favorite:
1. Small little yapper dogs...sorry :/
2. Scary movies, sad movies, basically any movie that doesn't leave me feeling relatively happy!
3. The fact that Luke's teeth are all coming in at once, poor baby!
4. Cocroaches! When I stayed with Nicole in Florida I had my first encounter with them and they were huge!! One time there was one in the shower before I got in. Nicole smashed it with a spatula! She is so brave!!! Now whenver I even think about them I get chills.
5. I can't think of a good one, so.... Soft Apples

Five hilights of my life:
1. Getting married to Ken in the Manti Temple!
2. Having my baby Luke!
3. Going to BYU Idaho (I really love it there, awesome school)
4. Getting a beautiful Ibanez guitar on my 16th birthday
5. Growing up in a VERY beautiful spot - 97 Stillson Rd. McCleary, WA

Luke at the Duck Pond

Luke and I have been going on walks now that the weather is nice, and the other day I took him to duck pond here in kaysville. I was way excited, but Luke not so much. I tried to point at the ducks and thought he'd like the quacking noises they made, but instead of even glancing at them he found a little waterfall going into the pond that he stared intently at. It was pretty funny.

Luke and Daddy

Whenever Luke sees his daddy or even hears his voice he gets so excited and grins from ear to ear. Mom felt a little left out until Luke's first word was Mamma instead of Dadda.

Luke in Uncle Jesse's old overalls

I remember Jesse wearing these cute red and white striped overalls when he was a baby I can't believe Luke fits into them now. He has seriously been growing too fast!

these are just a few pic's from our valentines stay in Las Vagas/Lake Mead. We were lucky enough to stay at this gettaway as a family.

For all you who keep tabs

Well, we are getting a little lazy with this whole blogging thing... greatly in part, because we havn't had internet since we've moved to Utah. So it looks like we will be making trips to the city library, and stealing onto other peoples computers here and there until the big day comes that we break down and pay for internet service. Yes we have moved, but things changed a bit... and we are actually in a house of our own, rather than renting a basement. We feel like we've been put under the looking glass as far as struggles, and testing of our will, but our Heavenly Father has truly been blessing us in so many ways and a lot of growth has come from this move, and time in our life.
Lynsie has been enjoying time with Luke(six months old now), but is finding him more and more of a handful each day. As he starts to scoot/roll his way arround everywhere, and take bites out of everything(with his four lower teeth newly come in). I(ken) have been plenty busy with night school, working several jobs, and just trying to make our future dreams a reality. I feel like a bit of a recluse. If anyone, friends or family are wondering "why the distance?" I wouldn't know were to begin... to try and explain our life's little situation. We love life and it's adventures, we hope we can be better at keeping you all involved with our's.

The Near Future

Bringing people up to speed, and introducing ourselves... we are now using blog spot for our official family webpage, after "immature" attempts made on other web sources ie. (myspace, facebook).

Life has really been great for us over the last year or so. Lynsie and I were married on August 26, 2006 in the Manti Temple, in Manti Utah. We have moved arround and had different job/schooling opportunities spanning several states. After moving back to Rexburg, Idaho and attending BYU-Idaho for another semester we were happy to invite Luke into our lives. Luke was born August 28, 2007 at the madison memorial hospital in Rexburg, a perfect 7lbs 3oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He is amazing and a constant joy/charactor builder for Lynsie and I.

We are attempting to make more new strides in the near future. Lynsie is finnishing up with her Associates Degree in Professional Pre-school Education. We are excited to see final projects and exams creeping up, and Luke and I are so proud of the sacrifices she has made to get to this point.
After what seems like forever, we are leaving the snow, and wind of Rexburg, and attempting to make a move back to some of my old stomping ground in Utah. I have decided that I am going to study Nursing, with great hopes of becoming a nurse anesthetist. I've already given my current job at the nursing home my notice, and we will be moving into a little basement appartment in "God's Country," good Ol' Kaysville. With great anticipation we're starting to break out a few packing boxes to make the move on Dec. 15. We look forward to getting back and being closer to some of our old friends and family, while holding good friends and memories firm in our hearts from our time in Rexburg, attending BYU-Idaho.
