Evans Family Christmas Party

2011-12-18T21:24:00.005-07:00

There were a lot of family that didn't make it to the party this year. I always miss Jason and his family but I think about them whenever we go to see the rest of the extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and of course Grandma and Grandpa. Most of us got pictures with
Grandma and Grandpa.

Here's a few more pictures from that night

I left a bit early to go see the Forgotten Carols over at Cottonwood High. It was the first time I'd been and I loved it. I think it will be one of my own family traditions! If you haven't been, you should really put it in your schedule for next holiday season.

I got my lights up around the entry way and the patio. They've acted sooo weird. Some of the lights will come on then some go off, they chase one way then the other then stay on solid. I think they have a mind of their own and change things up every time they come on at night. The boys at the neighbor house love the lights and look out their bedroom window at night before they go to bed. Cute. I wish there was some snow to go with the lights though. I'm still working on the Christmas tree and decorations in the house. Hope I get them done before Christmas gets here!

Thanksgiving 2011

2011-11-27T20:21:00.006-07:00

The five day break for Thanksgiving this year sure went by fast. Wendy and Miranda were in town for most of the week and I spent the majority of my time with them and their family.

On Thanksgiving day Wendy, Miranda, Pati and I went to a new restaurant and had dinner. Miranda couldn't wait to get some pie there.

After we got back I went out to Lisa's where my family was having Thanksgiving dinner. I got there in time for one of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions... Martinelli's apple cider and pie! Pretty tasty stuff if you ask me.

Mom & Dad | Alexis & Mackenzie

On Friday I went down to Pati's house for Thanksgiving dinner. We had quite the spread of food. Miranda and Wendy did most of the cooking that morning and it was all delicious!

This year I have many things to be thankful for:
Family
Friends
Jackson
Home
Career
Health
Talents
Ability to do things I enjoy (travel, play sports, draw, take pictures)
Music
Time
The scriptures
My relationship with my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ
The Holy Ghost that constantly guides me
Loving bishopric, ward family, home & visiting teachers
My testimony of the Gospel and the blessings it brings to my life. It gives me a firm foundation that I can always rely on. It brings joy to me and offers me a place of safety and comfort. I love my Savior and hope all can find the love he offers them. Thank you to all of you who share your wonderful lives with me and provide such great examples to follow.

Fun stuff

Hanging out with Mackenzie and Alexis

One of the neighbor boys drew the picture. His mom wrote down what he said on the sidewalk too. I laughed when I read it. It really brightened my day!

Baseball and fireworks

2011-11-05T13:21:00.001-06:00

I was invited to go to a Bees game with some great friends. The game was good... it was pretty much a blowout. Afterwards we got to watch some fireworks over the field. They were great!

Vacation to Jason's

2011-11-05T13:11:00.001-06:00

This summer I was able to go out to my brother's place in Pennsylvania. It was so great to see him and his family. The nieces and nephews are growing up sooo fast. I took Jackson with me of course and he got a real workout for 10 days! My parents were there for a week before I arrived then left a day before I did. We all went miniature golfing, took a wagon ride in Amish country, celebrated a couple of birthdays, played touch football in the back yard, played tennis, jumped on the trampoline, went to church together and had an overall good time.

What a cute family!

Is that legal?

I gotta have one of these! The Amish kids rode them around.

Ahh! Kisses!

It's been a long time!

2011-09-14T20:58:00.002-06:00

I decided to look at my blog for the first time in... well, a long time. Two crazy years have passed and a ton has happened but hopefully I can start fresh again with posts of what's happening. Hopefully I can get some things together to post this weekend. Come back later!

Releasing my inner rocker!!!

2009-07-17T15:23:00.011-06:00

Hanging out in Michigan means seeing Miranda and playing RockBand. Last night we made a video for her grandpa. It was so much fun. I look so serious trying to keep up with the notes on the TV. Hope you like it Whitey!! We also were chatting about me sleeping. Check out the video... pretty funny.

2009-06-19T15:50:00.019-06:00

The whole family was here for a couple of weeks. Of course we took the opportunity to get family pictures and they turned out great. Here's the whole crew.

Front row: Mackenzie, Alexis, Grandma, Grandpa, Evie, Megan, Parker
Back row: Zach, Mom, Dad, me, Lisa, Jason, Jennie

This is my Mom & Dad.

The core family... the five of us.

This is Jason's family of 6. I can't believe how fast the kids grow up.

This is Lisa's family of 3.

The three of us siblings decided to climb a tree for a few pictures. We look pretty relaxed but we could have all fallen down at any moment!

All the cute cousins in a picture together. They all became friends so fast and were so cute together.

After 2.5 hours of picture taking, we were all pretty tired and needed some food. We decided to go out to Leatherbys and get filled up with some dinner and great ice cream. What a great day!!

Ma and Pa Trek

2009-05-24T15:34:00.006-06:00

This summer I'll be going on a Pioneer Trek with my old home stake. Yesterday the Ma's and Pa's went on a mini-trek to see the ranch and get a better idea about what the real trek will be like. I'm not one of the Ma's but the photographer. The ranch is huge... 300 square miles. We took two handcarts with us as we walked 6 miles. It was fun but hard work. I'm a bit glad that I won't be pulling a handcart on the Trek. Some friends have been razzing me about going and being in Pioneer clothes. It's definitely not my kind of outfit... not even close! Here's a couple of the pics from yesterday.

Pioneers were tough!!!

Trip on the Oregon Coast

2009-04-15T20:11:00.018-06:00

Wow!! What a great week! My sister and I took off for a week long vacation to see the Oregon Coast. We had a few days off from work and a weekend to play. It was such a stark contrast to the desert oasis of Utah... tons of green and crashing waves on the beach. Before hitting the coast we drove up to McCall, Idaho for the night. We stopped to see five gorgeous waterfalls and took some pics.

As we were finishing up I noticed that my camera battery was on its last bar and I left my charger and extra battery at home! I was ticked!! We had to make an emergency stop in Portland and found a Ritz Camera open for another hour. Got what I needed and we headed south to our first real stop. After staying the night, we went out and enjoyed the beach and got a little wet.

One of the major sightseeing goals was to see four lighthouses. They were all great but the Yaquina Head was my favorite to visit and shoot.

In the same area we got to see some seals chillaxing on a few rocks in a tide pool area. Lisa talked to them and got them to look up for some great pictures. One of the seals kept hitting another one and it would let out a big 'bark.' It was pretty funny.

We didn't cross this bridge but thought it was cool. Boats left this area to go fishing and likely some whale watching.

This is the top of a cute squatty lighthouse in northern Oregon.

We stayed at three different places, each right on the beach. The last one was in Depoe Bay, the whale watching capital of Oregon. Unfortunately we weren't able to go out on a boat because the water was too rough. Oh well, maybe next time. This picture was from the patio of our suite. Absolutely breathtaking. When we got in, we just sat and watched the waves roar in for hours. It was so relaxing! Lisa and I had such a great time and enjoying spending some quality time together.

Busy...

2009-02-25T20:21:00.002-07:00

I haven't posted for a while... been busy but not doing much of anything it seems like. Work is really crazy with new computers coming in for the teachers. I woke up a million times the other night thinking about the room I needed to clear out. I'm so sick of inventorying old computers and packing them on pallets. The computers should be in this week, the book fair arrives, parent/teacher conferences, two professional conferences coming up, computer based testing to prepare for, etc., etc., etc. My life right now is not exciting but it's full of stuff.

I'm looking forward to a trip to the west coast in a month and a half. It will be nice to get away. Lighthouses, beach, whales and hopefully some great weather.

I'm itching to get out to the golf course again. I picked up the last club for my set a few weeks ago and can't wait to try it out.

I'll be going on a trek this summer in northern Utah. I'm looking forward to it but need to get in much better shape before then. I'll be the photographer on the trek... that will be so much fun! I'm not particularly excited about hiking in a dress for 4 days though! Everybody knows I'm a jeans gal!

Spending some time with friends

2009-01-03T14:05:00.008-07:00

During the Christmas break I was able to spend some time with friends. It was so good to have two whole weeks off to just kick back and relax. Jan and Holly took me out to the Olive Garden for my birthday and we were so happy to have Kendra join us. It was fun to catch up on what everyone was doing with their lives. Robin and her family came over to my house to visit on Christmas Eve... what a great gift. My friends mean so much to me and have been such a support over the years. I've definitely been blessed to have such great friends.

Christmas 2008

2008-12-26T09:49:00.015-07:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I was going to have everybody over to my house on Christmas morning for breakfast but it was supposed to snow a ton so we moved it out to Lisa's house. We all had something to eat then unwrapped some presents. I had a great Christmas... I hope everyone else's was good too!

We went over to Mom & Dad's for dinner and it really started to snow... and it hasn't stopped yet! It was whiteout conditions in South Salt Lake last night so I was glad I packed some clothes to stay the night out in Magna. I took a few pictures this morning of the snow Mom & Dad got at their house.

Birthday '08

2008-12-24T09:27:00.007-07:00

Well... another birthday has come and gone. Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Lisa, Mackenzie, and Alexis came over last night to help me celebrate. I got some great gifts... a new vacuum (YES!!), Sisters by Heart Willow Tree figurines, a homemade snowman filled with goodies (Thanks Mackenzie and Alexis!), and a cute birthday bear holding a surprise. I also got phone calls from a couple of friends and Jason and his family. They all sang happy birthday... I love that!

December 20th

2008-12-22T21:23:00.009-07:00

Had the girls over to my house all day on Saturday. We went out shopping then came back to watch movies and decorate my tree. They did a great job! We put on our antlers and took some funny pictures.

Christmas Party 2008

2008-12-17T21:25:00.013-07:00

The annual Evans' family Christmas party was on Saturday. It was great as always. Of course we were missing a big part of our family... Jason, Jennie and the kids. We miss having them there! It snowed like crazy that day so some of the family from out of town didn't make it. My aunt wanted me to take pictures again this year so here are a few. Lisa took some too.

The greatest day in my life so far...

2008-12-13T12:12:00.009-07:00

I had commencement yesterday! It was such a wonderful experience. All the graduates met in the field-house to get their cards for the announcement of our names and got in lines to walk over to the spectrum. They played the graduation song over the loud speakers as we walked and I started to tear up already. We walked all the way around the building then through the tunnel to the stadium. All the faculty and staff in attendance lined the sides of the tunnel and cheered us on. I started to cry... it was so amazing. The commencement was short and sweet. We went around the side of the other graduates and were hooded with our masters hood then went across the platform to get our degree then the president of the university conferred our graduation on us. We got some pictures afterward and then went out to dinner. Mom and Dad, Lisa, Mackenzie, Alexis, and Grandma and Grandpa were all in attendance. At dinner, Kelsey and her kids, Cali and Cole, joined us. It was great to have everyone there. I'm just so proud of this accomplishment and the work that I put into it.

School assembly... what was I thinking?!

2008-11-13T19:35:00.007-07:00

Today there was an assembly at school and a group came in with some zoo animals. They've done it each year and I've stayed away because of some of the animals they bring. If it's a lizard or snake or anything like that, I didn't want to get too close. Today they had more of the same. One of the teachers touched the snake and thought I should give it a try. Nope! Well, ... then I thought how cool it would be for the kids to see one of their teachers with it around their neck... bad idea!! I'm the first one to admit that I'm a scardy cat when it comes to creepy crawly things but finally I mustered up enough guts to go for it. Check it out!

That look on my face is one of absolute horror. All the muscles in my arms were contracting. I wanted to look brave and have a smile on but it didn't go very well on the first shot. Then they had the bright idea that the snakes head was too far down and didn't make a good picture.... you know what, this is one time that I wasn't terribly eager to get a perfect shot.. but they moved it up anyway. I tried a couple of times to look down and see where it's head was because I didn't want it near mine. I nearly hyperventilated asking my colleagues where it was. Well, what did I learn from the experience...? A person will do nearly anything for the kids, but if it had of decided to get warm ... we were going to have WORDS and I would have left screaming like a school girl!!

2008-11-09T20:38:00.002-07:00

I will be going to commencement next month for my masters degree! I ordered my cap & gown the other day. I'm pretty excited about it.

I decided to finally clean up my office yesterday. It will be a week long project, at least. I don't know why I keep so much stuff. Most of it is paperwork that I don't need. I'll be making a generous contribution to the recycling bin at school though! Unfortunately when I start to clean one area, it flows out to the other parts of the house. What a mess. :(

Lisa's girls had their primary program today and it was really cute. At the end of one of Alexis' parts, Marilyn, who was helping the kids with their parts said thanks to Alexis and she repeated it. It was so cute. Ending her part with "Thank you" was pretty funny.

Whewww!

2008-09-27T11:47:00.003-06:00

Wow, the first five weeks of school are done but have been very busy! Two weeks ago my secretary quit to take a job as the librarian at an elementary school so I've been pulling double duty at work.. as if I don't have enough to do. Thankfully Lisa's come over and helped me out a ton.

I've been golfing every weekend for the last month or so. There aren't that many good weather days left so I've got to get all my golfing energy out right now. Last weekend almost proved to be my last though. I went down to a familiar course and was paired up with a guy and lady for 18 holes. It rained off and on and at times came down pretty hard. It was one of those "jump out of the cart, hit the ball, then jump back in." On the 12th hole I hit an awesome tee shot and we drove up for our second shots when the lightning started. We were sitting under a tall tree and the gal that was with us was just getting ready to pull back and swing when a huge bolt thundered down across the fairway and into the neighborhood. One of the streamers came over to the tree we were under. That was way to close!!! We hunkered down for about 15 minutes while it poured and lightning shot off all around us. I chose a small pine tree that wasn't much taller than my cart. It was crazy!! When the lightning moved on, we finished the rest of the round. I couldn't let that great drive go to waste!!

School is in session!

2008-08-25T20:58:00.002-06:00

School started today! Since the teachers got back last week, I haven't had a chance to sit down. I can't wait for the first week to finish so that everyone's back into the swing of things and relaxed a bit. I moved my office over the summer and love not being in the back storage room. The only problem is that I'm in a fish bowl now. It's time to get some reflective film to put up on the windows so that I can see out to supervise but students can't see in. I checked my records at the university and found that my master's degree was posted at the beginning of the month. YEAH!! Lisa called a little while ago and she and the girls came out to go swimming. I'm tired and ready to call it a day.

I went golfing with a friend that I hadn't seen in years. We had a blast and we're planning to do it again. The course we went to was beautiful and full of hills and valleys. It made for some exciting play! I don't want the nice weather to end. I still have a lot of golf in me!

Visit to Oklahoma

2008-08-10T18:10:00.009-06:00

I went out to Oklahoma to visit my brother and his family. I got a couple of exhilarating rides with Jason on his new motorcycle :) The second day I was there, Jennie and Zach took me to the memorial in Oklahoma City. It was a very emotional experience to stand in the place where the federal building once stood, walk through the museum, and see the chairs on the lawn that represented the men, women and children that were killed there in 1995. It was hard to see the small chairs that stood for the children that went to the child care center that morning and never made it home. I was so glad I was able to go. It was certainly a humbling experience.

This is a picture of the Survivor Tree that stands across the reflecting pond from the footings of the federal building.

The next day Jennie and the kids took me to the Cowboy Museum. There were some amazing pieces of artwork there. If only I had $50,000 to take one home!

I took some pictures of the kids outside the kids museum.

I'm still a kid at heart. I couldn't help getting on one of the saddles too. Thanks Jason and Jennie for a great week at your house. I loved spending time with you and the kids. They're growing up sooo fast.

Upper Penninsula Lighthouses & Waterfalls

2008-07-22T17:37:00.012-06:00

It's another summer of lighthouse hunting in Michigan with Wendy. This year we decided to head up to the Upper Penninsula and see 9 new lighthouses. I also threw in some waterfalls and part of the Pictured Rock National Lakeshore. The weather was so crazy up there... one minute it would be nice and the other it would be pouring like no other!! We were very lucky that all the times we got out of the car it wasn't raining. Yesterday we hiked about 6 miles to get to the sites. We're both very tired of the rain but are so glad we saw so much and didn't get dumped on. We weren't able to make it on the ferry ride to see the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore because of the rain and dense fog yesterday and the day before. Bummer! We decided that we'll throw that in next year. :) Wendy's glad we're back so she can get a good night's sleep... appearently I'm the queen of snoring. I didn't hear anything! ;)

Graduation Party

2008-07-14T13:30:00.010-06:00

I had a small graduation party on Saturday to celebrate my masters degree. Here are some of the photos from the party.

Thanks Mom & Dad for all you've done over the years. Thanks for your

support throughout my education.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for being such proud and supportive grandparents.

Marilyn and I worked at Cyprus together about 6 years ago.

Chaine & Greg have been great friends for about 17 years.

Kendra and I worked together at Kennedy. Thanks Kendra for letting us party at your place!

Jorge and I work together at Kennedy.

It was tons of fun and wasn't without a bit of excitement as we ended the day. I ended up laying in the clubhouse in pain from a kidney stone, Grandma got sick from the heat, and Mackenzie fell down and scraped up both knees.

Las Vegas Trip

2008-07-12T08:51:00.010-06:00

My vacation filled summer has officially begun. I just spent the last 3 days with Lisa and the girls in Las Vegas. We had tons of fun and walked our feet right off. We packed as much as possible in the few days we had.. swimming (of course; it was 120 degrees the first day!), Mandolay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, MGM Grand and the lion exhibit, Flamingo, Caesars, M&M World, Bellagio fountain show, and Fremont Street.

Exciting 4th of July!

2008-07-05T20:19:00.012-06:00

Well, the 4th of July wasn't without lots of fireworks!! Lisa and the girls came to watch the fireworks with me and then spent the remainder of the night, and part of the morning, watching the huge fire that started on Kennecott's dike. It was pretty scary for a while since we were only about a mile away. It started about 10:30pm on the west end of the dike and burned to the east end by about 1:30am. I got some great pictures though (of course). There were tons of people out watching the fire. They were lined up and down 8400 and 8000 West. There were police and firefighters all over trying to keep control. It'll be a 4th of July I won't forget!

Practicum week was awesome & the eyes are coming along

2008-06-28T19:13:00.003-06:00

I got lots of great ideas for my library during my week in Logan. I can't wait to get back to work and get them rolling.

It's one week after PRK surgery and I'm seeing pretty well. The first 5 days of recovery were difficult, irritating and a test of patience. My vision is much better than it was before without my glasses but it's still fuzzy. Working on the computer is a challenge. I went out and did a couple of errands including picking out my first pair of real sunglasses. It feels great to get out of the house and be independent again. I can't wait to get out and golf! I also have some research to do before going to Michigan... I've got lighthouses, waterfalls and the Pictured Rocks National Seashore to scope out.

Anxious for school to end.

2008-06-18T23:08:00.005-06:00

The end is in sight. I've been up in Logan for three days and learned a ton from the media specialists there. I took so many notes it will take me forever to get through them. I've been inspired!! I can't wait to start implementing all the great ideas. I'm also tired of assignments.. unfortunately I still have about five to do between now and Monday. Logan was beautiful and it's been fun to stay with Kelsey and Cali for a few days and catch up.

Well.. the kids are gone!

2008-06-06T22:10:00.002-06:00

Yesterday was the last day of school for the students... and the teachers. Yeah!! This morning I took some time away from school to go play tennis with Lisa and the girls. This is the second week in a row. It's really fun for me to get some time with Lisa and play tennis again. We're both trying to get some more exercise so we might as well enjoy it along the way. I was supposed to go golfing Thursday night with my district team leader but it rained all day on Wednesday and Thursday morning. :( After tennis I went to work and started clearing out the area that will soon be my new office. I'm looking forward to moving out of the back storage room! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. Now I'll be able to have windows out to the library and not have to run back and forth to the back room to get work done on the computer. Next week I go up to Logan and there's only two weeks before I get some new eyes!!!

2008-05-30T21:58:00.003-06:00

I'm at work a ton and take a lot of pride in the things I do there. Last year was my first year as an LMITS (Library Media and Instructional Technology Specialist). It's an extremely busy job. Last year I decided to remodel the library.. what an undertaking. I also create and maintain our school's website. I love doing it. Check it out if you get a chance.

New neighbors

2008-05-30T21:54:00.002-06:00

I have some new neighbors that just moved in a couple months ago. They're a cute couple from Colorado. Last night they invited me up for dinner and I took some funeral potatoes up to share. They weren't sure what to think about the name and asked for an explanation. We had a wonderful dinner then he brought out his guitar and played a bunch of songs. He was awesome! They invited me to come back and 'jam' with them again. It was lots of fun!

Jazz in the Playoffs

2008-05-30T21:41:00.003-06:00

I was so excited to go to one of the Jazz first round playoff games. It was tons of fun! We definitely have the loudest arena in the NBA. The atmosphere was electric. It was a great game!

Getting the first 18-holes of the year.

2008-05-30T21:10:00.011-06:00

Today I went to the IT ending meeting/social. We went up the canyon after the meeting and had a barbecue. After it was done I decided to go golfing at Mountain Dell golf course and got paired up with three high school guys. They made it pretty fun. I walked the front nine and thought I was going to die. I didn't pick the best course to walk for the fi

rst time with my golf bag cart. I rode the back nine. I even got a birdie on one of the par 4's. It was a chip from about 25 yards out!!! Here's a couple of pictures I took while I was at the social. We were having a photo taking contest.

The end is in sight!

2008-05-30T20:54:00.003-06:00

The school year is finally in sight! We have four days next week and we'll be done for the summer.. at least for the kids and other teachers. With my contract, I work an extra week after schools ends and three weeks before everyone else gets back. I'm also finishing up my master's degree! I'll be finished with classes at the end of June. It's been a busy and sometimes very frustrating two years.

I have a packed summer planned. The second and third week after school I'll be going to Logan for two of my last master's classes. I'll come home on the weekend since I've booked a wedding to shoot! I'm going to have PRK surgery on the 20th of June; similar to LASIK. I can't wait to ditch the glasses! I should be seeing 20/40 right after the surgery and it should improve over the next 3 weeks to couple of months. A big improvement over my current 20/400 vision!! I'll be going to Vegas for a few days with Lisa and the girls in July (crazy, I know, it'll be sooo hot!), head off for Michigan to visit Wendy, then out to Jason's. I only have a couple of days in between to come home and get my laundry done before I take off for the next place. I'm so excited for all three trips. Lisa, the girls and I haven't ever been on any trips together, at least not just the four of us. Wendy and I will be doing our yearly lighthouse hunting. This time we'll be going to the upper pennisula. There are tons of lighthouses and some pretty good waterfalls too. I'll get to play golf with her in a tournament too which is always fun. I can't wait to get to Jason's too. I haven't seen the kids in such a long time. I'm excited to see how much they've grown. It's also time for Evelyn's 3 year-old pictures. I'm looking forward to getting some time to get Megan, Alexis, and Evelyn's pictures drawn too. It's just been so busy.

Everybody has to have fun at work sometimes. My co-workers and I were working on creating videos with some new software and caught these out-takes. I've never seen myself laugh before. We all had quite a chuckle! If you know me... I love to laugh. Listen carefully to the girl filming in the last out-take.
