Tis' The Season To Be Jolly.... new Years! and school begins all wrapped into one blog

Well I was supposed to post this when I was home for the holidays but pretty soon life became very busy there trying to visit with everyone. Schyler and I are doing well. He is now taking only 12 credits because last semester was a little rough with him being at school constantly and work. We now have time to actually work out on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also get to play ball at the church every Wed. night. I enjoy being able to do that now. I am at the school Monday wednesday and friday from 9-6 or 7 at night do to work and my schedule but luckily we still get to see each more than last semester.Right now I should be studying for my chemistry test but have opted to doing this lol... but n e ways because i didn't send out christmas cards I was going to to do the top ten for 2009 so here it is also
10. Schyler had surgery #4 on his shoulder.
9. Schyler got home from his mission in March.
8. Schyler got a job working with Rem.
7. I got a job doing research in the Chemistry department.
6. I stopped playing basketball.
5. I didn't have ACL surgery unlike the last two years.
4. Schyler did an unbelievable proposing in May just after I came home.
3. Schyler and I both moved to Minot to go to school.
2. We went on a cruise with my family to Baja Mexico.
1. Last but not least we were married in the Manti Temple on July 10, 2009.

Hello everyone! Well who knew we would actually get to come home for Christmas and have such a wonderful time! Schyler has flown back to the cold lands covered with 3 feet of snow while I am staying at home. I miss him terribly and I'm sure he would say the same (if not... he's in big trouble!) I am sure he is filling up his time with playstation 3 as that is what I surprised him with for his birthday... I sent him on a treasure hunt. let's see how you all do

The first clue was 0 to 9 you can now push the button to start the time.

Here he got new socks with the saying Your looks knock my socks off!
Next clue was You are almost there, this next clue lies where you sit down with no underwear.

Here he got the 2 muskeeters candy bar and it said... All for me and none for all hahaha

Next clue was 52 white plus 36 black equals 88

Here he got a starburst and it said You put the twinkle in my eye and make my heart burst.

Next clue was Make sure you use this things to stay fit or you'll end up looking like S$@!.

Here he got a big case of mountain dew it said Do the dew or Do Schyler.

Next clue it said It keeps you warm all winter round.

Here he got a romote controller to the playstation and it said You know how to push my buttons.

The last clue said This is where we make a lot of thunder but don't forget to look down under.

Here he got the playstation three with a posterboard that stated the ten reason why I love him.

When he saw the box he brought it out having no clue it was the playstation and said, "Babe this is heavy" lol He was surprised! So I did pretty good in surprising my honey! So happy babe, even though it's a few days early!





The boys all got to be kids again and got remote control cars that played lazor tag. lol





Carter and I while mom was reinacting the birth of christ with her nativity scenery for ages 3-6 lol

Carter, Dawson, and us right before Santa came in and got all the attention by these two boys

Carter actually would take pictures with us... it was a major chain for the wedding!

I'm not accident prone, inanimate objects just like to pick on me!

Well I guess i should not have said our life is pretty boring because this last Wednesday I ate my words! Wednesday night Schyler went to church ball I stayed home because my ankle has still been bothering me and so I decided to stay off of it and see how it feels in a week or so. So Schyler went to the brutal game where mormons can take their anger out and still feel right because they are "at church" hahaha jk I have seen some pretty aggressive games though. Infact we even have a guy taking charges lately I think he thinks it is the NCBA(National Church Basketball Assosiation) or something. Schyler came home quiet a bit early, to tell you the truth he scared the crap out of me cause I was watching Biggest Loser and wasn't supposed to be cause I was watching it without him (in all actuallity he had already watched it grrr...) So on alert now because i think I am going to be in trouble he limps in. I start laughing and say knock it off stop faking it (eating my words again) he gives me the look (I'm not joking Halee how dare you say that lol) and now I see his massive foot which suddenly appears to be infected by elephantitis. All I can think about is how acidentprone both he and I are and how screwed our children are. His foot is getting better but still is infected by elephantitis and massive breakage of capillaries realeasing huge amounts of red blood cells.(hahaha bruising)

Day 1

Day 2
Today I have been trying to feel my time with things to do since schyler is working. Do you know how frustrating it is when your internet goes out and you can't do n e thing about it. TV is no longer great, cleaning well thats out of the ? (jk that actually got done), and homework well who does that hahaha last resort becomes my phone but I think my mom got tired of me calling lol jk But other than that life is great we are loving the no snow hardly n e cold days here. It is strange but I have a feeling winter is just around the corner and Mother Nature is on vacation right now and when she gets back and sees that her job hasn't been taken care of she is going to hit us and hit us hard! :)

Life in fast forward

Okay I know I know its been a long time. Well it was my birthday since I have written so here is an awesome cake that Naomi made for me!It was awesome! Okay so not a lot has happened since my last post. Other than I am done playing basketball. I have been having a hard time with my coachs and the way they have been treating me . so I decided to hang it up. I have been so much happier and enoyed time i actually have to do homework, do research, spend time with my husband, and go to church without having to worry about basketball. I can work out when I want to and do what I want to. I love it. I am going to get a job here soon so if you have n e suggestions let me know! Schyler is doing good in school and is enjoying his job somewhat. It has been a struggle and getting use too. Finals are coming up and i think we are both stressed about them. Hopefully I can get everything done now that i have the time too. OOOO and guess what... we just got tickets for the new twilight movie! So excited to see it and can't wait. Well I know sorry my life is boring hopefully soon it will get more exciting!

K So i know this is way late. But hey i just got a few of the pictures... so Here they are from the wedding. I haven't edited all of them so these are the few that I have. Married life is going good. We are both doing pretty good. I just took my first quant test. It took me two and a half hours... hey it's really not that bad, it took one kid four and a half. Schy is enjoying work for the most part he has had some problems with the kid but we think it is just the kid getting used to him. Schy is doing good with school he just took his first chem test and we will see how he did. Other than that life is great.

The New Home

K so I have been promising ppl that I would get a video or some pics up of our new apartment. We tried and failed the first time, which seems to be a usual these days for me in lab, and now for the second time we are trying it again. I hope the videos are good for you guys and I am the one taking you around the house. Schyler decided he didn't want to do it the first time.
Little update...
School is going good I either got a 90 or 94 on my organic test. Which is really good from the sounds of how hard it is supposed to be. Each question on that one is 4% of so if you get more than 5 wrong you're already in C territory. Unless, you did well on the quizes (1% extra credit for each correct quiz) or did well on the practice test (1% for each question answered correctly. Only ten on this test and the practice test is harder then the actual test.) Lab for quant isn't going as well as Organic because I have failed the first lab now for the fourth time. My teacher even watched me on the last one and thinks it's my buret, so everyone pray that I get an A on this next try at the lab. This one is hard though cause I can only get .4% error. So if I have an answer of .1000 and the answer really is .0997 I already have .3% error on that. So it's hard not easy but hey nothing really is worth it unless there is some challenge in it. Ball is doing good other than our 6 am workouts I feel great. We are doing new workouts and if you guys haven't gone to a muscle pump class you should. My butt should be at the end of all this featured on all-star magazine along with my abs and maybe my arms. But I have never screamed at a workout instructor to stop screaming out, "Up, UP, down.... up, up, down" All she needs to be saying is okay take a rest. If you want some of the workouts I can give them to you.:)
Schyler is, well he is in the other room playing play station (surprised, surprised aren't you?!?!) No schy is enjoying school and actually doing better than I thought he would do going back into it. He is studying a lot and I think for the most part enjoying it. He is also being such a wonderful husband. He is adapting to my early morning workouts and late practices. He cooks dinner when I am not giong to be home before 6 which happens more often then not and helps around the home. He also got a job working with a teenager who has mentally handicapped. Pretty much what he was doing in Price but has better pay and benefits. Which we all know both him and I need! :) Well here's the video enjoy! Love ya all!
Yeah okay something is wrong with the video stuff. So here are the pictures



So this is our kitchen table.. perfect size mom! It is in the living room, the kitchen is on the right and the bathroom on the left.

This is the etertainment center. I had to show my creativity lol

Here is the living room. Our couch almost didn't fit in the door but with the magic power of six men and I think God we got it in.

The other view... yes that is schyler amazed at some move a football player did... football season is becoming my favorite. . . . NOT!

The kitchen I was goign to open the fridge so you could see our crib fridge but its a lil' messy hahaha

Other view of the kitchen. That closet on the right is pretty good but the pantry is straight across from it next to the fridge. I like the kitcehn lots of cupboard space. No dishwasher but hey thats okay.

Here is the office/extra bedroom.

The other view of the room. The closets are on the right side. They look the same as the bedroom ones.

This is the door to the bathroom lol, schyler wanted to scratch out the H and put a P

The sink. I am taking this from the bedroom.

The shower... kinda small, drain doesn 't work but it isn't bad.

Shelf space

Bedroom looking from the bed

Our closets! hahaha which one is mine.

The view from the door or bathroom sink.

Well there is your tore ladies and gentlemen. That will be 5 dollars. haha jk Oh I have to tell you what happened today at church. So I am the sunbeam teacher and today I was sitting next to one of the lil' girls Faith. Well Faith needed to get my attention so of course she poked me in the "melon". I laughed and said what Faith? She said with a grin, "Your my teacher today?" (There is another sunbeam teacher we switch weeks.) So I said yes Faith!:) She then hugged me and said, "I love you!" Of course because I'm on a big chair, she is on a lil' chair and she is the heigth she is she ended up putting her head right there on the melon lol. Well she shot back up and said,"Wooo those are big!" Again poking me in the melon! hahaha lol it was hilarious! I laughed and said okay faith lets start singing! hahaha it was hilarious! love ya miss ya guys!

MUCHO UPDATES:)

Okay so I know this is all way way way way way way super late but hey better late then never and you get it all in one shot. So I have compiled some of the exciting times since Schyler and I got married... No no wedding photos yet and those will be coming up as soon as i get them. However until then you get the new news. Schyler and I are enjoying our first apartment together. It isn't cold yet infact it was 90 degrees today. I am going to have a lot on my plate with school and everything but I have a wonderful husband who is there to support me and I love. He has been awesome. He has cooked the last two nights cause I dont' get home from practice until six six thirty depending on if I work out more or not and has usually cleaned up so I can either finish homework or finish the house. However, the house is now done and now I get to do homework... well I should be doing homework instead i am catching up on this lol. We do like it here and it is going to be nice being able to be in our own place and learn to love and depend on one another and the Lord. I am so grateful for my husband... and to tell you the truth with all the "It's not what everyone makes it out to be..." Your right! IT'S SO MUCH BETTER! I know that's cheesey but being able to come home to the one person who loves you more than anything and who you love just as much; who cares and shows it with so much convection and passion is unbelievable. I never thought it would be like this and i know I know.... wait till the first fight, but until then all I can say is This was so right!

A DAY OUT WITH MY FAV. BOYS AND SIS.

Schyler and I baby sat Dawson and Carter for Amy and Jason. We decided to take them out to the petting zoo with Meesha and Daxen. it was an awesome day other than it was really hot outside!

These are the three boys riding on the horse ride. It took us hours in the hot sun to let them ride and when we finally did Carter as you can tell didn't want to ride. Daxen wouldn't get off the horse and Dawson loved it also. They were awesome here.

The Scarecrow was awesome lol Dawson had to hold Daxen there to keep still. The boys loved the little chicken places they ran in and out of them lol it was cute


I wish I had this job... sittin around all day eating food... okay not really I would go crazy

This was to see how much the boys weighed together. When they jumped up and down they got close to the horses I think but not even close to the cow lol
Fourth of July in Cleveland

We went to Cleveland to watch the awesome fireworks with my family. Daxen was awesome and he even loved the fireworks. We had a lot of fun and Schy got some great pictures of the fireworks!

The CRUISE!

We went on a cruise with my family to Baja Mexico. Schyler and I loved it. We did have our own room, thanks mom and dad:) and it was such an awesome experience to share with my entire family. There we went kayaking and rented doom buggies. We had so much fun. I think the best moment was either seeing a seal swim right up next to us or dinner time with my family. There we laughed hysterically probably got a few weird looks but I felt we became more a united family.

Schyler thought he was tough:)

The blow hole. There are only three, Hawaii and Austraila are the other two places. This one is the biggest.

HAHAHA! NACHO LIBRE!

ONE OF OUR MANY FACES, WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER LOL

FATHER LIKE SON.... WAIT A MINUTE?!?!

LOVE HIM! The rock schyler and I jumped off of

Every night our room service guy would make new animals out of our towles.... this polar bear was my fav.

The family!

We go together like to peas in a pod!

PINEVIEW

Schyler and I spent our first week together at pineview with his family. It was nice because the first few days we spent at a lodge and then the next day we came to this. Our honeymoon sweet... well for a tent n e way lol. This is what we got from his family, extended family and friends of the family. Thanks you guys! It was great and it is a really nice tent.

This is me in the heart, that wasn't supposed to be on there cause I tried to hide this car!

Schy and me by the lodge sign...

Schyler by the bear that was used as a decoration inside our lodge... It was actually a really nice lodge.
