Just a Party

A couple of weeks ago Jake and I were invited to go to the Bishops' Christmas party. It was really fun. A lot of people went, some people that we knew and other people we didn't know. When we got there we played a fun game where we had kitchen items written on a card and pinned to your back, we had to ask everyone else, but our spouses. Jake ended up being a fry pan and I began out as a whip...lol, after the joke of "that's not a kitchen appliance" I was switched to a whisk...who calls a wisk a whip??? Apparently Bishop Holbrook and his family growing up. After that, we echoed a Wedding shower, or something lol...we guessed what Christmas songs were on the list, with a questionaire.

We ate yummy food, then had a white elephant gift exchange...too fun.

Jake ended up with a can of air for his paintball gun. I got an AWESOME snowman jewelry box of some sort...definitely qualified for a white elephant gift. It was fun to go and intermingle with new friends. It was nice to be invited...I first thought it was a "bishopric party" but it clearly wasn't. I'm glad that we are considered cool enough to hang out.

Eternaly Together

Jake and I met in the Spring of 2002, and were married 6 months later. Jake married me with an already made family of 2 boys, Kurtis was 6 and Austin was 4. He became their dad legally and eternally on May 26th this year, very long and awaited. Jake and I have never had the one on one time that a couple has before they start their family. We've recently moved our home to Wasilla, Alaska in June 2009. Since we've been married we've added to our small already made family. In 2004 we had our only little girl EmberLee. In 2006 we had Bridger, and our new addition Theron was born Sept 5, 2008. Jake currently works as a Surgical Technologist at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. We are building our online networking business and have some news to hopefully share soon. Moving home closer to family is what we are hoping will soon be in our future. I am working on becoming a midwife. We are homeschooling Austin, Ember, Bridger and Theron. Kurtis has moved out and is staying with a friend because he can break the rules there. he did earn his GED while he was at the AMYA. Austin is a 10th Grader, at home. He is still getting into the mode of homeschool, but with his SAD, he's able to somewhat function then get up and do his work. EmberLee is a at home for 4th grade, she is doing well. Bridger is at home for 1st grade and is working on reading and math mostly. he seems to be doing well. Theron is copying Bridger and learning his colors, shapes, alphabet and is smart as a whip. He loves to learn. That is us in a nutshell.
