We are so excited for a long weekend! Jared still has to work :( but it is one of the perks of working for the schools!

Jaxon has been busy with school and I am enjoying my short break. Jared is starting more firefighting training (this time wildland) soon. We love to stay busy!

This last weekend I went to Salt Lake to my sister-in-laws baby shower. It was so fun. I went with my mother-in-law Brenda and sister-in-law Amanda. I love shopping!

So we told Tyler we would send him some pictures this week so we took some funny pictures and we are going to send them. I thought I would post them so everyone could see them. Enjoy!

Holy crap it has been forever

So it has been so long since I have updated our blog... I know I am a slacker. It has been a crazy month. Tyler left for his mission on Dec. 5th. That was a hard time for our family but we are so proud of him and his willingness to serve! He is doing great we get letters from him almost every week and we love to read about his adventures and how strong his testimony is growing.
Christmas was so much fun. I had two weeks off, one of the joys of working for the school district. We spent a few nights at Brenda and Erolls and it was a blast to see all the family. Jaxon went to Tennessee to visit for Christmas and it was different not having him here with us. We also stayed a few nights with Nana and grandpa Bean. It was way fun but different not having Tyler there this year.
Dawson is growing so fast! I am going to post some updated pics so you can see how big he is. He just turned 8 months and I can't believe how fast it has gone by.
I graduated in Dec. with my Bachelors in Psychology. Now I am starting my graduate program this Feb. in school counseling. I can't wait because that means I am that much closer to being done! I am still working at the schools doing some counseling and I am loving it!
Jared played with his band in Green River for New Years so I didn't get to see him but he had fun. They don't play very often now so it was fun for him to hang with the band again.
We are all back into work and school now and enjoys all of it. I hope everyone is doing great and if you want Tylers address in the MTC let me know and I will post it!

This is me and Dawson on New Years Eve. He is a pretty cute date!

Scotty and Andraya had us over for dinner. Dawson loved it too! Now he HATES baby food!
