I'll have you all know i've been sitting here waiting for half an our for my pictures to download so that i could finally catchup on our blog but the stupid thing won't work. Anyway, we did finally get all of our wedding pictures and we love them. They turned out really cute and we're so happy to finally have them. Spring break was last week so John and i took work off on Monday and went up to Murray for a few days, It was fun and just good to be away together without worries. It was fun. In our ward they moved me from teaching Family Relations to teaching Gospel Doctrine.... thats going to be a challenge and i teach for my first time this Sunday. Chloe did have her puppies and they're adorable, we're so exciting to have a "puppy" or our won around October 21.... (insert from my sweet husband)

I started reading the Uglies series a couple weeks ago and i haven't been able to put it down since. I'm almost finished with the Specials, not because i love it so much but because i'm so mad and i just have to figure our how its possibly going to all turn out okay. In the mean time John's going crazy and wishing i'd just get it over with. So i guess i'll go work on it...Anyway, i'll try the pictures one more time but if it does work, we're out of luck, sorry.

Just another day at the Van O's.

Well, today was a good day. This morning i got to sleep in, and then cleaned some. John got home around 10:30 and we decided we'd try to hit the 11:30 session at the temple. Just as we were getting ready to walk out the door, John realized he didn't have his wallet. so we looked and looked and couldn't find it anywhere. We thought maybe we'd left it at the Swimming Pool, so we called over there, and they said they didn't have it. Well, John decided that the only place it would be is in his pants pocket from a few days ago... I had to break the news that those pants had just gotten thrown in the wash. Well he ran over to my parents and checked and sure enough, his wallet was getting a cleaning as well. I think we managed to save most everything important and made it to the temple still on time. Anyway, we got home and i wasn't feeling that great so John told me to go lay down and he'd make me lunch. He's so good to me and made me a great lunch of macaroni-b. I sure love him. Anyway, it was good to spend sometime with John since he had class at 2:30 and won't be back until after bishopric meetings tonight, probably sometime around ten. I love him so much and am so grateful for a wonderful husband! WAHOO!

Wedding Pic's




These are some wedding pictures that we finally got after all this time. After i get the CD of pictures sometime next week, i'll post a lot of them, some turned out really cute and they're a lot of fun!!!!

My Mighty Hunter :)

Just in case there is still a question, John did kill this little rabbit with his bow. He's amazing. And Zane (his friend) took it home and ate if for dinner, now, in the words of John "Does life get any better than this???"

This is my new du, with the help of one of Debbies cute bows :)
We try to often take pictures of us, but the thing is, we're the only ones that can so all of them end up being pretty up close...
Party at Bridgets, our snakes were battling.... mine won :)
And this right here is what i always find John doing just as i'm about to make Dinner....that little rascal (its a bowl of cereal)

Haircuts


We borrowed John's mom's haircutting Stuff because he needed a haircut bad and we don't have any clippers, anyway John went down stairs and told the boys that if anybody wanted a haircut to come on up. Simeon was the first brave one and Isaac soon followed. After John's hair cut they had to take a picture of all of them being "cool". It was fun and John did a pretty good job!

Here we go again...


Sorry it's been so long! I'm getting down to doing this once a week. Well, what's new.... John finally did get over his sickness, after days and days of looking like this... oh, and i did too.... but we didn't take any pictures if me thank goodness. We had the awesome privledge of going for a few rides in Peters "oh so cool" truck. It was a blast and thats one thing we love to do, however it never fails that each time we go, we end up getting stuck. This is Peter trying to get his sweet truck out after hours of it being stuck in a ditch on the otherside. He wasn't so happy about this picture. The funny part is, we ended up having to call John to get the suburban to pull us out....Talk about a humbling experience hahaha. It was really fun though. Debbie, Simeon and Isaac really like to come visit us upstairs. We don't mind and sometimes we bring them up for entertainment. These are just pictures of them being silly.
