Prom

2009-05-02T20:48:00.000-07:00

Last night was Mormon Prom. Jennifer and Mike went. It was held at the Gene Autry Museum.( it has been renamed but I don't remember the name). They had so much fun.

Tonight is the Valencia High School Prom. I don't have pictures ready to put on the blog but maybe later.
I am so glad that this is her Senior year. I am so ready for high school to be over. Now she just needs to find a job. If you know of a dentist who needs to hire an assistant let us know, Jenn is looking for a job. She graduates from Dental Assisting School on May 11th.

Pictures from John

2009-04-22T19:37:00.001-07:00

John sent pictures from the MTC. I don't remember who the other guys are in the second picture, probably guys from his district.
John is doing so well in the MTC and loving every minute of it. We are so proud of him

It has snowed a few times since he has been up there.

He goes to the temple every week. He said that he enjoys it but that it is so early in the morning sometimes he falls asleep.

Long time no post

2009-04-05T11:00:00.000-07:00

It has been so long since I updated the blog. Lots has happened but I will only give you the highlights.
Jennifer went to the Winter Formal back in January. Here is a picture of her and Mike at our house. They had a lot of fun and looked so cute.

In February Fred's mom passed away. It was really sad but she was finally out of pain and is with Fred's dad whom she missed a lot. I couldn't find the picture of all the family together so Jennifer just uploaded this one. It was supposed to be the one ofr Fred and all of his sisters but I don't think it is. Oh well, sorry.

My sister-in-law wrote a book that was published. It is about my nephew and how they cured him of autism. I know they say that there is no cure but they did cure him. She has been interviewed on tv and has been in the news. She is an amazing person and has so many talents. Both of my brothers have married wonderful girls. I am so glad to have them in the family.

On March 25th we took John to the MTC. He was so excited and the day just couldn't come fast enough for him. We went out to eat the night before with family at a place called Emmett and Ethel's in Lehi. They have homemade ice cream and homemade rootbeer and their scones were pretty good. Here's a picture of some of us. I didn't get Brett and his family in the picture but at least Cole is in there. He is so cute.

And here we are at the MTC. I did really good. Everyone said that i would cry. I was doing great until Fred reached over and put his arm around John like he was so proud of his son. I got a little teary eyed then but only for a second. I have a problem with wanting to show any kind crying emotion (is that even the right phrase?)

Shopping in L.A.

2009-01-06T12:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Marianne took us down to LA to the fashion district to go shopping for dresses for the winter formal. Jennifer is a little scared of homeless people. It is a little scary down there but, the prices were fantastic. We looked at a few stores, but Jenn wanted to go to this particular store that her friends had told her about.
We looked at a few dresses and then we found these 2 dresses that were just perfect for her. They were modest and not wierd colors or had to many jewel things on them And they only cost $29.99 each. i bought 2 so that I wouldn't have to go down again looking for a prom dress.
They may not look all that great hanging in the doorway to the t.v. room but she looks absolutely gorgeous in them. Now we just have to find shoes, necklace purse, and figure out what she wants to do with her hair. I love spending time with her being excited about her being able to enjoy all these experiences in her life . She is a great kid.

New Year

2009-01-02T22:03:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it is 2009. 2008 was a busy year for us. John graduated from high school . We had baby showers for Amy and Ashley. Ashley had her baby in July. Amy had hers in September. John got his mission call.

We took John through the temple. Jennifer started dental assisting school and started tutoring. Fred and I were able to travel. I can't remember everything but those are the highlights of 2008.
At Christmas Ashley and Brandon were able to come down and so we took some family pictures. Not professional ones but still, family pictures.
We had a great Christmas. It was great having everyone here. I love my family so much and when we are all together I just love to watch the kids all interact play games and just be together.
I am not real good about setting goals for the new year because I know that I will not keep them for very long, but this year I plan on working on a few things to better myself. I have a hard time talking to people and I have a few anxiety problems, but i am going to try more this year to get to know people and maybe even invite a few over. I don't mind the kids having people over but for me to have anyone over is so hard. i panic so much but I will try.

dinner ideas

2008-12-09T16:39:00.000-08:00

Does anyone have any good ideas for dinners? I am sick of making the same things over and over and over. The easier the better but please ,something new.

MISSION CALL!

2008-11-30T19:59:00.000-08:00

Friday John's mission call finally came in the mail. John started work at 2pm and the mail came at 3pm. We had to wait until John came home around 9:30pm. That was the longest day. I thinks Ashley was the most impatient out of all of us. She is here visiting and goes home on tuesday. She wanted it to come while she was here and was checking the mail everyday.
He was called to serve South of the border. He reports to the MTC in Provo on March 25th. He wishes that it was sooner, but he is really excited about going.
His mission covers to the borders and down about 300 miles.
I can't believe he is old enough to serve a mission already.

Amy, Ashley, John, Sean, Me, Fred, Jenn and Mike (Jenn's boyfriend) were all there when he opened his call

Official call

Our Missionary

We all took guesses on where he would serve. Brandon was the only one who got it right.(as usual)

Visitors

2008-11-20T11:35:00.000-08:00

See this little boy? He is coming to see me today. We are so excited. We're glad that Ashley is coming too.

Help!!

2008-11-18T15:55:00.000-08:00

Does anyone know of a place to hold family reunions? My parents want to have a family reunion with all of their kids, grandkids, and great grandkids all under one roof. My siblings and i have been looking for a few months for a place that will hold 44 people. My father wants us all together eating every meal together in onw big house if possible. He doesn't want to camp. It can be anywhere that is a one day drive for everyone and we will need it for 1/2- 1 week. We have looked at everything that we can think of. Any suggestions would be great.

Finally mom's learning to blog

2008-11-16T18:47:00.000-08:00

Okay, Jennifer sat down with me tonight and is trying to teach me how to do this blogging thing.
It's funny how your mind goes blank when you are trying to write. I can't think of anything to say. Lots has happened but i can't remember a thing right now.
John turned his mission papers in last week. We are excited to see where he will be serving. Brandon, John's brother-in-law thought that it would be funny to send a fake mission call. john received the fake call on saturday. He saw the envelope and seemed surprised but then he noticed the writing and thought that it was funny. The call was to serve at the Temple Square Mission for 18 months. It refered to him as Sister Stewart and was signed by Gordon B. Hinckley. He thought it was funny and wants to framed it along with the real one.
Jennifer has a new boyfriend. His name is Mike. He is a really nice kid. We like him. She is really busy with school and dental school and she tutors sometimes 3 times a week.
Fred bought a motorhome this last week. When you have a mid-life crisis don't guys normally go for the small sports cars? Fred seems to have done the opposite. It is 33 1/2 ft long and has a slide out on the side. It's not mid-life he just wanted to have one. I guess we will start camping now. This will be interesting. I don't camp ,but if I have to, then this is the way to go.
Fred and I went to Boston last month. I wanted to see more American History sites and I love all the fall colors. They have some of the reddest and orangest ( is that a word?) trees. It was gorgeous. We went to Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. It was so much fun.
This is us in front of Paul Revere's house

This is the Fairbanks House. It is the oldest wood framed house in North America. The Fairbanks Family in our valley ( fred has known their family since he was 10yrs.) is from the same family.

This is Jennifer's Prom date

This was outside the minuteman museum in Lexington, MA

hold on...

2008-11-16T18:29:00.000-08:00

hang in there... im teaching my mom how to do this cause im so busy... so she'll be updating :) im going to show her how to do pictures too so i'll add one in here!

hhheyyy!!! :) look everyone...shoes!!!!!!

utah!

2008-09-30T09:48:00.000-07:00

so we went up to utah on friday early morning... but we had a surprise for the rest of the extended family: we were bringing Cali and Amy! :) the drive up was long and boring (and lots of dad's really bad/old music) but we eventually got up there! cali was supposed to be a surprise for brandon but he found out!!! :( i think it was because ashley was putting sheets on the baby bassonette for amy and he caught her... bummer.but it was really fun! we took lots of pictures of the babies and of friends and family.

(this is a picture of a baby party :) )

(wyatt had his first taste of california eating)

i got to hang out with the most amazing person in the world: CHRISTINE!!! haha it was so funny! we did fun things like go to the park at 11 at night and run away from the cops trying to give us cerfew ticket, and up in utah they have these fun spinny thingys that you feel like puking after riding on them, we did those things like 10 times! haha and then we got icecream that was really nasty! :) my parents and i went up to layton (where we used to live) and they went out to dinner and i stayed with the rest of the kids. :)it was fun... my little cousin abby is funny. here's the story: i have little feet, i fit into a size 2 1/2 to 3 in little kid shoes. so i bought the most BOMBDIGGITY shoes and they are little kid shoes. so sunday we're getting ready to go to wyatt's baby blessing and im running around getting ready barefoot and abby (my cousin) looks at my feet and says "can you put on your new shoes?" i told her that i was busy and couldn't do it right now, plus those arent the shoes i was wearing to church. she said "i just really want you to put them on because your feet look ginormous and i don't think they can really fit into those shoes! your feet are HUGGEEE!" :( it was kind of sad tho.

my brother in law (brandon) is funny. but he has this habbit of lecturing me whenever i go up there. this week lecture was about excuses. this is what he said "excuses are like buttholes: we all have one and they smell like s*@!

theres your thought for the day!

Cali!!! she's here!

2008-09-12T21:12:00.000-07:00

ok. so i know that it's been forever since i've posted anything, but i've been really busy latley. sorry everyone! i shouldn't have time now. i actually should be getting some sleep but i thought that you would like to see Cali! she's adorable!!!! she likes to suck on her fingers and she's got the same kind of personality as she did inside of amy! haha :D it's cute. sorry that these pictures are kind of old and bad but they're all that i've seen of her. i've only seen her like 3 times cause i'm so busy! ahhhh! well that's all the time i have :D i'll talk at you later! <3

Watch out teeth...

2008-08-22T21:09:00.000-07:00

i have entered the dental industry!!! :)

yes it's true... i have followed in my sister's footsteps and am a soon-to-be dental assistant! :) it's addicting! ... these are my scrubs, i wasn't too excited about them at first because they were an extra small and they still looked like i was trying to fit into an extra large! they were HUGEEE!!! so we had Amy put on ribbon so that i could tie it (so it would look less like a blanket and more like a shirt) :) ha ha

but i like them now. i think i bug my teacher because i keep asking "hey! when are we going to actually really truly going to do work on people???" so i think that she hates me :) ha ha but i told her to call me AJ because i didn't want her to call me JENNIFER (cause that sounds too old) and she couldn't remember JENN because it's too cool for her, so to her, my name is AJ :) i love that name tho.

so Ashley is coming down September 16th to the 25th! woo hoo we're excited :)

so i have NO time for anything. here's my schedule: (you'll see what i mean)

4:10- wake up

5:30- leave for early morning seminary

5:45- seminary starts

6:30- go to school

then from

7-12:30- go to school (and have the dragon)

then i have an hour to rest!! :) and do homework :(

1:30- leave for dental asst. ROP

6:00- get home

6:15-7:15- go tutor

7:30- do homework

10:00- finish homework

shower and what not... then i usually fall asleep around 1 or 2ish... (i haven't been able to sleep lately, like the last 3 weeks)

so I've been really tired lately

i was trying to do my government homework and i was frustrated because i couldn't find the place i was supposed to read in my textbook, then i realized that i had an economics book instead of my govt book. :P I'm a loser face! so i emailed my teacher and explained that i would bring it in a little late... so i was in sign trying to tell this story to ms. madden, and i told her that i needed to go to the library and trade in my econ book for a trigonometry book. she looked at me like "what the crap are you talking about???" then i was like OOOHHH!!! i mean my chemistry book!, wait... my english book:( it was really sad... i went through like 3 books before i finally said: American geometry...

yeah... i was really tired.

she let me take a nap! :) so yeah... this one word of caution: EARLY MORNING SEMINARY IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING THAT YOU CAN DO TO YOURSELF!!!! so if your looking for a new way of torture: viola!!!

i hope all is well with yourself! <3

oh yeah, and:

(don't forget to brush)

all good things must come to an end

2008-08-11T12:30:00.000-07:00

here's some of the people who came
and some more...
this is an outfitt with horses for cali when she's a little older
cute little purple onesies! andrea kept helping her open the presents....just so she could open them...
you see that elephant? sean loves that elephant he was dressing it up in baby clothes and hitting me with it. it was really funny because he was making it sing and rock it's head to baby music and what not... so that was interesting :)

cute little baby clothes...

so, it's the end of the summer :( time to go back to school, put away your swimming suit and all that fun stuff...

Saturday was Amy's baby shower (a special thanks to Sarah Judkins, it was amazing!) thanks for all who came, and phooey on you who didn't! :D you missed out. we didn't play the dumb games like:"don't cross your legs" or "how fast can you change the baby doll?" so it was pretty fun :) thanks for the gifts everyone, she LOVES them!!!
Ashley, Brandon and Wyatt came down last week it was fun to see how much he has grown. my mom is friggin obsessed about Wyatt!!! one time i was sitting downstairs with Brandon and Wyatt was sleeping, and he heard mom coming downstairs and he said "i give her 2 minutes" so she came down and said "can i hold Wyatt??" and Brandon told her no cause he was asleep. so i started counting...1...2...3... and a minute and 36 seconds later she was just like: "oh well! I'm the grandma!! i can hold him if i want to!" and sure enough she did. Brandon also told me that he had 2 goals whenever he came to California: 1 to embarrass my mom and 2:to pick on me (perfect :( ) and sure enough he did! thanks Brando commando, appreciate it!

a few days ago i went to Dr. Samadi's with Amy and we got her ultrasounds. Cali moves SOOOOO much!!! and she always covers her face! so Dr. what's-his-bucket was super excited cause Cali's kidneys had gotten smaller so now they're "normal" he kept saying "cheers!!! oh this is so exciting!!! :) " haha it was funny! but then he turned to me and was like "i can't wait to see you in here getting your ultrasounds!" and me and Amy looked at each other like "uhhhh..." so Amy said: "i think she's got a while for that one :)" it was just kinda funny

Cali's about 16inches long and about 6lbs 4oz!!!

my mom and i have this ongoing argument about college. III want to go to gauladette (an all deaf school) and it would be a wonderful experience!!! but mom doesn't want me to go, follow my dream, do what I'm good at and become an interpreter. but it's about the only useful thing that i do and apparently i can't do it just because it's in Washington DC (but once I'm 18 i don't need her permission to do anything! :) ) so we need your opinions people!!! that would be great

senior

2008-07-12T12:18:00.000-07:00

hey this is my senior picture...my mom wanted me to post this while i had the chance... it looks kinda funny cause O'connor uses a funky finish so that if you try to scan and print it, it will look kinda funny and old so... that's why it has that finish that looks funny. :D hahaha well that's it... i kinda miss my long hair :D but i really like it now... it's just weird to wash it i'll talk to you later <3

Baby Wyatt

2008-07-12T12:09:00.000-07:00

here he is! adorable little baby wyatt born july 11th at 3:56 pm weight at 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19 inches long :D cute huh?? mother and baby are doing just fine. smooth as clock work. ashley thinks she is ready to come home today :D what a trooper :D well we're going to go see her now so i'll talk to you later <3

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-11T07:25:00.001-07:00

this morning we got woken up at about 4:40am to hear brandon's voice: "rise and shine... it's baby time!!!" :D haha that's clever but lo and behold 2 1/2 hours later we're all showered and ready to go :D john's staying here because he has to work but we're like out the door right now... i begged my mom to let me tell all of you about it cause i thought you would want to know :D byyyeeeee!!!!!

10 inches... gone

2008-07-10T18:42:00.000-07:00

hey all!!! here's my hair cut :D

i cut off 10 or 11 inches :D i love it! hahaha this post is especially for ashley (maybe it will shock her enought to have wyatt :D) haha if you can't tell it's shorter in the back and longer in the front :D my friend cassie cut it, she just graduated from beauty school like 2 months ago... i've always been a fan of her work :D thanks cassie!!! she used a razor blade and it made me laugh cause i thought of those old movies where the barber used the same razor to shave the man's face and then cut his hair, i almost said "now... i want a close shave :D" but i don't think that would have been too funny at the time :) hehe... well ashley is going to have wyatt anyday now :D we're just waiting for the call. WOO HOO!!!!!! well i'll talk to you all later !!! <3>

The Babies!!!

2008-06-22T19:17:00.001-07:00

hey all... i didn't know if you had seen these and i know that me as their soon to be AJ (Aunt Jenn) is SUPER excited to see them... :D the first two are Wyatt's face, and the last one is Cali! they both seem to have the stewart nose (big) hahaha. but really im super excited to see them when they come into this world! i don't really like to touch pregnant women's stomachs because i know that when im pregnant i wouldn't want the ladies in my ward to come up and start rubbing my belly (i mean what if i don't like the people who are touching my belly? have you ever thought of that???) well i have, and that's just why i dont like to touch other peoples bellies (plus what if their NOT pregnant? what if it's just a salsa baby?? ) hahaha but yeah. there was a point to this: OH YEAH!! i LOVE to sit and feel amy's belly. i would feel ash's too but she's all the way up in utah.:'( so i feel amy's and it's kinda weird, but i feel like i already know the steamroller (that's amy's nickname for cali) is that weird?? she just has so much personality!!! i love it!! but yeah... word to the wise: if your in a market and you see a pregnant lady do not-i repeat- DO NOT TOUCH HER STOMACH!!! unless you know her well of course. because i was with amy and sean in wal-mart. and this really random lady comes up and rubbed amy's belly and was like "when are you due?" "are you excited?" "do you have a name?" i had never seen this lady before and it kinda freaked me out... and it wasn't even me!!! so when i get married and start having babies, please PLEASE ask me if you can touch my stomach, most likley if you ask, i will have NO problem with you touching my baby. just ask first.

so this whole blog is about babies and how i don't want people to touch my stomach, let's change the subject!!!

i'll tell you a weight loss joke:

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her.
A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.
This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you are mine!!!" he lost 63 lbs. that week :D

let's go surfin now, everybody's learning how...

oh! i have the worst news!!! but first let me explain something to you... in my sign language class, i have never gotten less than a 95% on anything in that class... my grade is 112% (woo hoo) well... on friday i had to go up in front of the whole class and sign a song for a test, i of course, got stage fright and i only got a 91%... that's an A-!!!! so im re-doing my song on monday. friday i didn fat lip by sum 41 and monday im doing merry happy by kate nash. wish me luck! but please, if you know ANY really really fast songs (not the music fast, but the lyrics fast) tell me! because this next song is my very last song in my sign class, so it has to be AMAZING!!!! thanks for all your help... we love you!

p.s. i met this boy... :D he's really nice and sweet... he told me that he likes me, and i melted and confessed that i liked him too... it was a big secret of mine ;D im really happy though. nothing's happened(yet)but, it was nice... im not going to say his name, because he was charlies (my date) friend ;D so for secrecy, im not going to say anything... except that im happy!!!

cousins, cousins, cousins

2008-05-04T12:45:00.000-07:00

hey everyone! sorry i haven't written for a while, things have been busy. we just got back from a baby blessing for my new cousin. he's number 64. and just yesterday another one of our cousins got baptized.
so, on another note... my parents just got back from a cruise! it would have been great for john and i if people hadn't kept checking up on us, and my mother's threat hanging over our head "you do one thing wrong... you'll die!"so, if she hadn't said anything like that, we would have thrown a crazy wild party! ;)

toilet paper

2008-04-20T15:55:00.000-07:00

so 2 nights ago my best friend had a party (probally the most confusing day of my life. i'll never understand boys!!!) but when we looked outside when everybody had left it was toilet papered!! =0 surprising that they had done it while everyone was here. so of course, we got them back... but much much worse. im talking you couldn't see any grass because we shredded paper and free ad's and covered his lawn with it. it was really funny. but anyways, last night he went over to her house and toilet papered her good. they got EVERYTHING!!! i mean they did the same thing we did with the shredded paper but they used traffic cones and "for sale" house signs and it was halarious. but if anyone has suggestions about how to get them back...please tell. =D thanks!

babies

2008-04-10T13:24:00.000-07:00

yay! we just found out that amy is going to have a baby girl! woo hoo! they're not going to tell anyone her name until she's born because it's a "surprise". bummer. and as you all hopefully have heard: ashley is having a baby boy! but they've decided on the name... William Wyatt Bowman =D

this one's for you... you say i dont post enough? well here we go... im going to unleash my wrath upon you like there's no tomorrow!

let's start with this blog... this blog is harder than it seems. you know what i mean? first i gotta keep you happy and post everyday (haha just kidding) but seriously... then i have to find new things to put on it to make it fun and interesting for people like you, then everytime i want to get online, i have to ask "MOM can you get me online because you won't give me my password for 'my protection' so that no creepo guys come and molest me during the middle of the night while your IN THE NEXT ROOM!!!! so..... can you sign me on so i can check my 3 e-mails? and write to all my fans on my blog to keep them happy?" that's one of my problems. the next problem is when i do finally get online i can only stay on for like 2 minutes before my mom says "your eyeballs are going to burn out of your sockets from looking at the computer screen too much" so then i have to get off..... last reason is... well... my family, were just not that interesting. im the loudest spoken one out of all my family, and since that's the case... you have to understand that the rest of us are boring...

so let's move onto the next subject: school
bleeeeecccchhhhh...... yeah it's just about that fun. the only classes i look forward to are Sign Language, and Student service... FOR Sign Language... hahaha yeah the rest i really am not too good at. except for 2 days ago i took a math test and i got a 84% on it so, im getting better!!! =D hehe

uh... let's be done with math... let's"talk about me wanna talk about i wanna talk about #1 on my me my, what i think what i want what i feel what i something... what i seeeeee... i like talking 'bout you you you you usally, but occasionally i wanna talk about meeeeeee. wanna talk about mehehe." have you heard any good songs that i can put on my blog? because i love songs!!!

FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know what food is my favorite? i like pasta, no i LOVE pasta!!! my mom hates it, my dad hates it, and my brother hates it. so i never get it. i like chicken alfredo, oh! and spagetti the best. mmmmm..... spagetti =D yumm. what's your favorite kind of food?

Last subject: Boys/Prom
mormon prom is coming up... i want this one kid to ask me. but he dosen't even know i exsist... and were in THE SAME WARD!!!! how do you not notice eachother in the same ward? i don't know... crazy mormons... maybe i'll just look for someone a little more interesting and with good eyesight. but seriously im so excited for prom... i think i might get asked this year (let's all cross our fingers) by this one kid... he's a cutie. he plays football for a different school than mine (now he's got good eyesight if he can see me from a different town) but i think he might ask me. =D yay! he's nice...

well michelle i hope this is enough for you... nothing really about the rest of my family. just me, sorry! =D love ya! check up soon! (i'll try and write more)

twilight

2008-03-10T16:29:00.000-07:00

i have no idea what im going to say today... so i'll just babble... speaking nonsense... so just read and bear with me. im currently reading this series, twilight, and it's AMAZING!!! (thank you Ms. Madden) if you like to read, i highly reccomend this series. it's full of action and romance... but it's clean. the lady who writes this, stephenie Meyers, is mormon. shes graudated from BYU. just so you know... well that's all. sorry it's not very interesting. i gotta go!

oops!

2008-03-09T16:42:00.000-07:00

The First Time

2008-03-08T11:17:00.001-08:00

Hi Everybody! welcome to our blog! it's good to finally have one to keep up with all our friends and family (when we're not on the phone or by email)
let's start off with the basics:
Fred- he's doing great! he's just been called as high preist group leader. he's still at northrop, same old same old. but he's happy and comfortable where he's at.

Keri- is getting emotionally ready for John to graduate and be home with her all day. she just had one of her closest friends, Allison Bendixen, come to visit her from philly. they had fun =D shes also excted for another one of her closest friends to come home from their mission, the hansens, she's missed them. shes happy and is keeping busy. she, just like me, is reading a series called twilight.

John- is just 2 months shy of graduating from Valencia High School, he's pretty excited. he's currently working part-time for a guy in our ward, and he LOVES it. he gets to do a lot of physical work, and get payed for doing it. down and dirty, i guess that's what boys like to do. hahaha

Jenn- me? im good. im still working at black angus (black anus as ive come to call it) it sure is.....uh...fun. =D i am pretty excited for this upcoming tuesday, im going to CSUN with an interpreter (which is what i want to do)and im job shadowing her. this sunday im going with my sign language teacher to a deaf ward to get some practice in. im so excited... by the way, TWILIGHT IS AMAZING!!!!!!

so over all the stewarts are doing great! if youve had a chance to read this, please pray that i don't die for making this without my mom knowing. hahaha just kidding (but seriously) thanks for reading, we love you all! talk to us soon!! =D
