Lynsee Germaine(cousin), Jessica, The Bride, Shara & Katie

Look who caught the garter!!

What a week this has turned into. We've been looking at building a new home. Last Saturday after we got back from Tawnya and Landon's Holden reception, we went looking at another subdivision. This one is in Spanish Fork. We really like them and by the time we left we had signed papers to build. Of course that is all dependent on what the loan guy has to say! We are extremely excited though. We are completely out of room in the one we are in. We hope everything works out.
Lucas has been a little under the weather lately. We can't get him to shake this cold that he has. I've tried every medication under the sun. Hopefully he'll start to feel better soon. He's not always his happy self when he's sick. He's been so healthy for the last month that I almost forgot what it was like when he's sick!

Gangsta Lucas...

Waiting for our turn for pictures


Waiting for Landon to join them as the third amigo!

Landon and Tawnya were married on Saturday. It turned out to be great weather at the temple! We were worried and bought umbrella's, but didn't have to use them!! :) The wedding was very nice. We are extremely happy for them. The reception was a lot of fun. It did start hailing right before the reception, but stopped so that everyone could come! It was great to see and hang out with family.

Well...it's been a few days, so I thought I would do a little update on our lives. Last Friday my sister went through the temple. It was a very nice. She was able to attend a wedding the next day for Landon's sister. She has only 10 days left for her own wedding. It's coming awfully quick. On Saturday we went to the new Joseph Smith movie in Salt Lake. It was incredible. If you go, you must take a handful of tissues. All the movies that they have showed have been good, but this one was my favorite. Lucas was even good for the most part!! On our way back, we stopped to look at homes. We found a little subdivision here in Provo that has some new homes going in. We really liked them. We are going to look around for others too.
I had to teach Young Women's on Sunday. It was the first time I've had to teach in a long time. Being the secretary, you don't have to teach very often. We also had our family home evening that night with another couple and Tawnya and Landon. Jed gave an excellent lesson. Our friends, Chad and Alicia, had their little boy, Carter about a week and a half ago. He's has tons of black hair and is quite adorable.
I started my new job and I'm really liking it. It's very convienent to be working at home. Lucas is so much fun to be home with. He's really good at tearing the house apart!

Cowboy Up...

I don't really have a lot to write about today, but here is a couple pictures of our cute little cowboy. He loves that little horse he's on. He rocks sideways as it sings. My parents & my sister Nappy (Jessica) came today. We'll be going to the temple in a couple of hours.

Home, Home, Home...

So today is the first day in 6 1/2 years that I have not be employed at Utah Valley State College. Crazy! I started as a workstudy in August of 1999 in the Human Resources department and worked my way up into a full time employee. I have loved working at the college. It has been the best experience. I have made more friends there then I ever dreamed possible. I don't think there is any job better than the one I just left. Working for the Biology Department & the School of Science and Health was the best!! I am going to miss it tremendously, but...
the good out way the bad, and therefore I am thrilled about being a stay-at-home mom for Lucas. He is so much fun and I'm looking forward to spending every minute with him. He's walking a few steps at a time, and I think he's going to start running any minute. He already marches is you ask him to.
The Physical Therapist came a couple of days ago and will come again in a couple of weeks. She was thrilled to hear that he had started taking steps. The Speech Therapist came this morning and taught us about self talk and parallel talk. She'll come again in a month. We'll start going to play groups at the end of this month. The PEEP program sponsors them and while we are there they work on all the different motor skills, speech, etc. I love having programs like this...especially when they are free!!
My parents are coming tomorrow so that we can all attend the temple with Tawnya. She'll be going through for the first time in Mt. Timpanogos. The wedding is coming awfully fast. Only a couple of more weeks.
