Panguitch & 6

My sis and her hubby went on a cruise and she asked me to come to Panguitch and watch her 5 kids for a couple of days. So Addy and I loaded up and went. We had a blast. Adelyn LOVED playing with Ryley, Daltyn, Brenley, Kenzey, and Riley and Avery. Avery, Kenzey and Brenley were so helpful. I truly love those kids as if they were my own. Adelyn was so sad to come back. I got sick on Wednesday so Kenzey had to take the load. She is awesome. Anyway.... we had so much fun there and I am glad I could help out.

Car is Fixed

YEAH!!! Our old 93 Ford Escort beater is now fixed. Travis is amazing. He fixed the water pump, the timing belt and some sort of belt. Anyway, he is such a Mr. Fix It and I love that about him. We now have our 2 sets of wheels back and are very grateful.

Engineering Fair 2009

Travis is VP of the Engineering Club here on campus. For Engineering week this year they decided to invite high schools from close corners to come and compete in some fun competitions where engineering was required, ie penny float, egg drop, etc. Anyway they offered the schools lunch and also had various CEO's of Engineering Firms from nearby to come also and tell a little about their companies. They received free lunch also. It was a really big deal and a very busy day. I was Trav's beck and call girl that morning, but he did a fabulous job. Overall it was a great experiance and was a success!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day all! This was the best Valentines ever I think. We had a small and simple Valentines... but I loved spending time with Travis and Adelyn. It kinda was a four day celebration for us. On Thursday night our stake had a Valentines Day dance and they offered babysitting... AWESOME! Trav and I cut up a rug and had so much fun just being goofy. He is a blast to be at a dance with. Then on Friday he had the HOPE choir boys come to my house and sing "Calendar Girl" for me and Adelyn. She was so shy while they were there. Being an ex- hopeee I loved it. That was one of my favorite memories... although I realized how embarrassing it was for the person receiving the song. On Saturday Trav had to work early in the morning. I woke up to an empty vase on the table with the note shown on this post. He sent me on a scavenger hunt through our house with text clues to find each individual rose. The final rose I got when I got "true loves kiss" (like Enchanted.. we watch that a lot because it is Addys favorite movie". When he came home he gave me a kiss and the final of the dozen pink roses. I loved it! We spent the day just hangin out as a family and kickin' valentines to Addys friends and family. Then that night the three of us had a candlelight dinner at our house. So it was simple but AWESOME. Like I said, the best valentines ever! I love my hubby and our daughter. The more I learn about Travis the more in love with him I become. You make me so incredibly happy honey. I am so lucky you chose me. Love you!

Cookin Time

Adelyn LOVES to help me cook dinner. We made Valentines cookies on Valentines for family and here are some pictures. We had so much fun. She keeps me laughing.

My Mr. Fix- it and Car Issues

Those of you who know Travis know that Engineering is not just his major... it is who he is. He is such a smarty pants and can fix anything... or come up with a way to fix it. I always said I wanted a Mr. Fix it. The timing belt went out on our old car. Travis said he would just fix. So any spare minute he got he was fixin the car. He got the timing belt fixed and then we found the water pump was out. So he decided it was worth a small amount of money to get it fixed so we could have our car back quicker... since he has little to no spare time with 2 jobs, school and family. We drove it to the mechanic who said he would fix it for an outrageous price. They also broke a belt.. I dont understand all the mechanics.. but wanted us to pay for it. They also charged us to look at. Travis just said the two cancelled out. We then had to pay for a tow truck to get the car. So.... we are back at square one. Frustrating for him. Just a lesson to us.... when it is broke, have Travis fix it.
