Craziness...

Okay, so it's been a good month since I last posted something.  Please forgive me!  It's been a very crazy and hectic month. This month was filled with words from our prophets, preparing for cooler weather, lots of pretty colors and OUR 1st snowfall of the season.  CRAZY!!


This was Emmalee's 2nd Halloween and this year I proudly made her costume.  Not one for being conventional with having her dress up as a princess, cat, or witch. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Her costume was a sushi.  I had seen the idea for it in a "Parent's" magazine and I just knew that I had to do it.

It was very simple to do, in fact the hardest part of it was finding warm white clothes.  LOL


So, here are some pictures of our lil sushi.

Isn't she just the cutest thing, ever?!?!  I just love being her mommy!!

General Relief Society Meeting 2010

It's that time of the year again.....the leaves are changing color, the holidays are right around the corner, and it's time for General Conference.  But, the best part of conference season is getting to drive down to SLC with a bunch of girlfriends to be spiritually fed......


But, first we were physically fed.  We went to Crown Burger and for those of you who don't know what they are all about please check out this clip from Man vs. Food.  ( I LOVE this show!)

We really wanted to try for the Hell Fire sushi roll but, we decided that wouldn't be so smart going to conference and all. LOL

Conference of course was awesome!  Loved all of the counsel and loved the Spirit that was felt there.

 The First Presidency and the General RS Presidency.....

 We Thank thee, Oh God for a Prophet.....

 Saying Goodbye.....

 The Beautiful Salt Lake Temple.....

I love this church!!  And I know it is true.....

Emmalee's 1st Pigtails!!

Okay so some of you might be wondering, why on Earth I'm so excited about Emmalee's hair.  Well, it's simple when she was born she was a cue ball.  She basically had fuzz on her head and that's it.

And they actually stayed until she went to nap.....

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever?!?!

Emmalee Loves Elmo!!

Very First Post!!!

Okay, so here we are it's Sept. 2010 and I'm finally deciding to work on this blog that I've been trying to get started at since moving to Utah.

For those of you that don't know, we moved from our island home on Maui to Logan, Utah to become one of the "frozen chosen."

A lot has happened in just this short year...some of it good and some of it rather sad.

 Troy is serving in the activities committee and in the EQ as the moving coordinator ( he helps people with the moving process).   He's working part time at Westhost which is a technical support group for the wonderful people of the UK.  But, since their workday is the opposite of ours he works the graveyard shift which can be hard at times.  He's also going to school at Stevens Henager and working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. In case you've never heard of Stevens Henager it's a University of Phoenix type of school here in Utah.


Currently I am serving as the 1st counselor in our ward's primary and I'm loving it. I'm learning lots from the wonderful women that I serve with and from the wonderful children that we serve.  I'm still at home with Emmalee and I love every minute of it.  I am truly blessed to be a stay at home mommy!!  I'm also very blessed to have one of my best friend's right up the road from me and I've been making friends with some of the women in the ward that we live by.   I got to go home to Maui in July to say goodbye to a very dear friend/ Emmalee's papa.  It was nice to get to go home and spend time with my family but, it was also a very bittersweet trip.

Emmalee is about to turn 2 in December.   She's just the cutest thing ever and is growing like a weed.  A very cute weed.  = D

She LOVES Mickey Mouse, Elmo and Tigger and Pooh.  She talks A LOT and she is so smart.  She loves to read, is a total mommy's girl, and loves her sweets.   She is such a good little girl and I'm so proud to be her mommy.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives.  Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for her.

Life so far has been good to us.  It's not always easy but, it's been good.  We've been blessed in so many ways and I am so very grateful for all of them.
