Stimulating... the economy.

Wahoo! Life is great. Really. Chris is finished with another semester (and didn't fail any classes ;)  Also,  I have a husband back... for now. The only thing with Chris being done with school is now he fills in his time with soccer.  If it isn't one thing, it's something else.

I am so happy it is spring. Who is with me here? We are fixing up the outside of our house this year and hopefully the inside next year.  
In case you can't remember what my barn house looks like... here you go.
Scary isn't it? Don't worry, the awnings are already gone.
First up is new windows. Thank you $1500 tax credit! We were going to do windows last year and boy are we glad we waited.
I would have to say that we are doing our part to "stimulate the economy." 
First, new car. 
Nice picture, huh?

Second, new t.v.
I put this together myself. Aren't you proud?
Chris and I seriously feel like we aren't doing anything different as far as spending money goes. We have been pretty fortunate I guess.

Did I ever tell you all how much I love being primary chorister?! 
Here is one of the many reasons why. I have a handful of little sunbeams who every week bring me the pictures they colored in sacrament meeting followed by a hug. 
And yes, that is a velvet picture. I loved those as a kid.

This is the closest to me being an artist.
Can you guess what song it is?

I don't think people realize how time consuming being the primary chorister is. 
I sure didn't before I had to do it. But it is so rewarding when the kids love the music and actually sing them!

Did you draw all those freehand? You are a very talented artist! I'll bet you are such a fun chorister.

We bought a dryer to go with our front-loading washer. YIPPEE for Tax returns! Pete always wants a new tv, but I can never let him justify it...that is until our other one breaks down!
I wish you were our chorister! I think it is THE hardest calling in the church {next to Bishop}. Seriously! You have to teach for two hours straight EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY! You are awesome. And you deserve those pics and hugs from those kids! LOVE YOU :0)

I have to agree that being chorister is very time consuming. That was probably the hardest calling I have had. I even think it was harder than being in the Primary presidency. I love your pics. I'm not to good at drawing.

Playlist Fun

I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
