Sorry.......

so i am not very good at keeping up with this at all. and sorry there is no picture this time. i feel like i can't just get one project done before more come up. i really hope that once this month is over i can get everything back on track.

bintli is walking two or three steps at a time. if she would just let go of the wall or what ever is next to her she would just take off. she will find the bravery in her soon. she will just stand in the middle of the floor, when she sees that she is not holding onto anything then she just sits down and crawls to where she wants to go. i think that she will most defiantly be walking by her 1st birthday! however she has decided to start to talk and "hi" is her chosen word. it is well over used! keep up the good work.

Bintli's Growing !!

So tooth number two has graced us with its presence! WoW, how grumpy teeth can make one person, and ya know I was thinking today, they hurt coming in hurt going out, then they come back! And then there are all the steps of making them straight, clean, cavity free......and so much more! WHY????

Before one of my besties left me for a year took some great pics for me! I just love this one..... *Bintli * 8months!

Binlti Kay Hoopes

i have no reasoning to my being lazey and not keeping up in the blogging world! here are some pics of Bintli the newest addition to the family.....and she is already eight months and crawling and pulling herself up to stand. she is trying to climb! oh help us now! i do promise to do better and keep everyone updated! we missed you blog world.

A little this A little that

well nothing new and exciting has happened since the last time that i posted.

we did get our house sold in st. george, and that is a big weight lifted off of our shoulders. now it is time to move forward. well we already kind of had, but no more to worry about in st. george! it can be my new vacation spot. i miss all my friends and life down there already. makes me sad to think about it, so moving on!

we are all headed camping this weekend! i can't wait, it is going to be a lot of fun. i just hope that the weather behaves. we sleep in a tent so i need it to at least not rain..........and keep your fingers crossed that our air mattress fits in our little tent because i don't know if this prego lady will be able to get off the ground the next morning without a little bit of soft under her big butt!

well better go,

Sorry SOOOOOO Long

it has been a long time and i don't even know where to begin.

jesson and i are spending a lot of our extra time fishing. i have not yet caught one and it is making me so mad. jesson always gets one, and we can be standing in the same, place. we were fishing on the salt and i could see the fish coming toward my hook and right when he went to bite it i got over excited and pulled the hook out of the water and then i scared the fish away. that is as close as i have gotten to catching one. when all the excitement was over i looked over to see jesson laughing so hard he couldn't even stand up. such support.

most of you prob already know that i am pregnant and that it is a girl.....as far as they could tell. we will all get to meet her around the 13th of October. we are going to keep the name a secret! so name her what you might.

well i will try to keep you all updated more. love ya all and miss you!

So Excited.........

I was so grateful to have the Christmas season come, but glad it is gone. I am ready to move forward. Jesson and I have a lot to look forward too, considering our last year. So let's get it started! We are planning on going to St. George on the 3rd - 5th of Jan to get our stuff! I am so excited, that is such a good way to start the new year!

When we first got married we didn't have couches, just a bed. It was that way for probably 6 months. Now here we are again 5 years later, just a bed.....the sad thing about that is that we had to barrow the bed. Just keep your fingers crossed that the weather will stay nice for us!

So now I am sitting here trying to think of all the things that I want to do, or have get done besides all my stuff moved from St. George in the 2010 year.......... Then I thought how boring, and some of them maybe like a wish, so if I tell them out loud will they not get completed, or come true! Good luck to all you making those 2010 goals.

I am so excited to start year 2010! Jesson and I have been up and down, and up and down, can't wait to just be flying straight.

So here is to a great year!

2010

Dippin’ Dots

Dippin’ Dots

This will make us all think twice about eating dippin dots........

Favorite Song of the Season

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light.

From now on,

Our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas

Make the Yule-tide gay.

From now on,

Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore.

Faithful friends who are dear to us,

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years

we all will be together.

If the Fates allow,

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.

And have yourself a Merry little Christmas now!

Moving Again

Where does time go?

Isn't that a question most people ask? Well it is on my mind right now. On the 27th Jesson and I will be married for 5 yrs. I am so thankful that we are so happy together! Well back to time, really in five years a lot has happened and I still feel like I am not going anywhere.

-I passed my state licensing exams
-Jesson started school
-we had to move to what most of you know as the mold hut
-still just working and school, Jesson now done with his 2nd year
-just everyday life, with a lot of gross food, and really good food
-decided to buy a house
-they accepted the offer
-moved again
-got a dog (Axel)
-potty training
-chewed up socks
-more bad food, a lot of take out
-Jesson done with school
-studying for his state exam
-working
-living in Wyoming
-spending a lot of time with family
-house is for sale
-yes, moving again
-still in love

We all have our ups and downs. Jesson and I have had our share, but I wouldn't want them to be with anyone else. I love him very much and am very excited for new adventures, and what's to come! Here's to another 5 years!

PiCtUrEs.........post one!

i love this view, (not the sheep, that means that we are working), but the town down below! i don't really have words, i am just glad that i get to see something like that when ever i feel like it! i owe that to my parents for all of there hard work! thank you.

he is just so happy, i lost him to fishing this summer, and the season is coming to a close, cuz he doesn't like to ice fish, but i have not seen him enjoy something for a while! good job babe............ i love you!

p.s. there will be more pictures i have so many to post, so i will just do a few at a time!

We are back..........

yes yes i know it has been a really long time......but my life is a little torn up right now, but we are making the best of it! jesson is hunting and fishing again, so that makes him happy, so i guess that makes me happy! i am glad to be around all of the family this summer, we have a had a lot of fun, and working with my dad agian..............well that is more stories to come, but has been great! i miss st. george, and i thought that i wouldn't miss the hot sun, but i am so cold.......i am sure it is going to get worse.
the leaves are all changing, it has been like 5 years at least since i have seen that, and it is so beautiful! i forget all the things that i have been missing and taht is one good thing about being home...........all the wonderful memories!
i will try to get some pictures put up soon!

Well............

Sorry i have not been on my game! life is a little nuts. jesson and i are in wyoming right now and jesson started a new job today, i hate the first day. we are excited to be closer to family though......we will actually be here for all the holdidays, that will be fun. hope to here from everyone. let me know if you are in town.
i have a lot of pictures that i have been taking, i will post them as soon as a i get my computer hooked up!

Pics From Wyoming

Well i got invited to watch lainey (3 year old niece) at gymnastics! that was a lot of fun. she was so happy that she can flip on the bar all by herself! the smile in the next picture says it all!

then we went over to see my other niece who is 4, and in this picture you can see that we were playing with stickers and axel got to join. i was scared he was going to get mad, but he didn't even care. axel and austin get along so great.......

well, we all decided to go to shoot guns so we pile into the pickle and look what happened! poor poor tire. it was so bad that they couldn't even patch it, gump had to buy a new tire! it was a lot of fun.

this is my austin! while the boys were shooting guns, we got kinda cold so we were playing in the car. she had picked melissa some flowers, so we put some in her hair!

we couldn't get out of working. so we helped shear the sheep! i don't think that i have been home for 5 years, this time of year. it was a lot of fun. i got to meet cate, she is from Australia, and a lot of fun.

it was a very long drive! jesson was sleeping on the way! oh wait.....he is the one driving! hahahaha we were just so bored, but we made it.

who would have thought that there would be this much snow still. it was 96 in st. george when i left, now you all know why i was wining about being cold.

well i am sure that there will be some more wyoming adventure pictures. jesson is still up there and don't know when he will be back in st. george, axel and i are back to the warm weather, but are really missing jesson and can't wait to see him. i hope that it is soon.

WYOMING

wow, it has been a long time since i have to wyoming this time of year and now i remember why! i think that i am going to freeze to death. i have not been this cold in a very very long time. it is 90 in st. george right now and maybe 45 here! ahhhhhhh who does that to them selves? good thing that i love my family and was excited to see them. we surprised our moms for mothers day. it has been fun. when i get back to st. george i will post the pictures! send some sun my way.....PLEASE!

IT's TIME

well it is that time again.......st. george turned on all of there water at the parks, which means that axel gets to play in the water!

YAHOOOOOOO

Pics I Promised

YES......the rumor is true!

Well you are all prob wondering what rumor i am talking about! and it is.....wait for it......yes it has already 90 degrees outside and i have been laying by the pool all day, and plan to again on Friday! yahoo. summer is here, and i love it.

I really do hope that the rest of you are having some sunshine too. it sure makes me smile! there will be pictures to put up soon. i have to get them off of my phone! so stay in touch.

I do have to admit, before i leave, that if it is already 90 i am not looking forward to the 110.....i will be coming to wyoming and you all wont be able to get me to leave. hahaha, but until then i am soaking it up.

love ya all

HAPPY EASTER

More Hiking

axel loves the water.....we can not keep him out of it.

yes yes i know it seems like all we do is hike! well we have to get out and enjoy the sun until it gets too hot to go outside........sorry for all you who are still getting snowed on. we have green lawns and flowers in bloom and leaves back on the trees. this is the only time of year that it is green so i need to take it all in. we do have a guest room! you know who to call.
