January 2009 Illustrations

Here is January's illustrations.

Counting Down---babies

Heber and Emma at Thanksgiving!

Heber's workspace!

Jenni's workspace--the first of October (working on Ceramics while I wait for parents during PTC)!

Well, my due date is drawing nearer and nearer.  In fact, I am almost 2 months away.  Crazy, huh!  I am starting to feel a lot more discomfort than I have felt thus far.  It is exciting though.  I can't remember when other babies in the family are due though.  We should keep track.  

Heber and I went to our first labor class.  It was really good.  Now we just need to do our homework!  

Life is going good.  Heber is doing very well at his work.  We went to a work Christmas party for him, and ate at a very fancy restaurant in Park City.  I am doing okay at my job teaching.  I have been a little grumpy, I confess.  It makes work less-fun.  I have enjoyed having a job though.  I am thankful for that!  

I am still doing illustrations, as well, for Story Time Felts.  That has been nice to keep in touch with art.  You can see my work on my other blog: elephantshrunkart.blogspot.com.  

Anyway, that is all for now.  Hope to hear from some of you!

Jenni

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 HEBER!ll

I know, you are thinking, "Why are these pictures of Jenni?"  Well, this is all I had.... and Heber likes to see me, on his birthday!!!....

For Heber Only!

For A Laugh!

Happy Birthday, Heber!

IT'S HEBER'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!  YEAH!  LET'S CELEBRATE.  HEBER IS NOW 28 YEARS OLD---GETTING SOOO OLD!  WE STARTED OFF THE DAY WITH HEBERS FAVORITE FOOD IN THE WORLD---FRENCH TOAST!  I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A FEW REASONS HEBER BLESSED OCTOBER 29TH WHEN HE WAS BORN:

Heber is well-balanced, well-tested, and well-rounded.  Heber is good at most things.  He is a nerdy-nerd, when the climax is intelligent or he is a sportsy jock when it's recreation time.  He loves playing games, reading books, socializing or programming a computer game.  

Heber loves good food, but he does not like meat off the bone.  He loves breakfast food.  He could eat it morning, noon and night--all in the same day.  He loves candy and most of all, ice cream(mint chocolate chip). 

Heber is a hard worker.  He gets up each day around 6:30 am, and goes and thinks hard for 8-9 hours doing computer programming.  When he gets home, he works on the yard, listens to programming tutorials or helps me make dinner.  He doesn't complain, even when he doesn't feel like doing something.  

Heber has a strong testimony of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  He is continually relying on our beloved brother to improve and overcome his weaknesses.  He is a good example to me of pressing forward and having faith.  Heber is often the first on his knees, whenever I hear a pause in the other room, I usually find him praying, and he reminds me to kneel and pray as well.  

Heber is a good husband.  He sincerely wants me to be happy.  He doesn't get angry at me or yell at me, even when I make mistakes.  He wants me to have good things in life, and he provides, presides and protects in our home. I just love Heber.  

May 2007, I set some goals.  I called it Miracle May, and I began praying in earnest to find my husband.  At the same time, I enrolled in a Statistics Class, so opposite from any other class I had ever taken.  I didn't need this class to graduate.  Heber also took the class, his easy one for the semester, and he patiently tutored me through the class to a B+.  Most importantly, however, Heavenly Father brought us together, helped us grow together and get to know one another.  I was very close to Heavenly Father that semester, and when I prayed to know if I should marry Heber, there was and is a peaceful, wonderful feeling in my heart about my decision.  I live everyday now, feeling like Heber and Jenni were meant to be, and that God blessed me with Heber.  I feel like he is perfect for me.  Thank goodness for October 29th, 1980.  This is the day Heber was born, and one week later, I came.....I wasn't about to wait any longer! 

Construction Zone

Jordan has been doing a great job heading up our shed project.  So far, we've only had one person shoot themselves with the nail gun (Levi, I hope you're doing better :)

It's been fun to spend time working with Ryan and Jordan.  Here are some pictures of the framing that is just about done:

Hopefully we'll have the roofing and stucco on in the next 2 weeks...

a bientot!

Heber and Jenni's Haircuts!

Heber and I both got new haircuts.  Heber did his own--isn't he cute, and Rachel cut mine.  We are both doing really well.  

Jordan Mingo and Ryan are building a new shed out back for us.  It is looking very good.  We hope to get at least the exterior done before winter.  They are doing a great job.  We will insert some photos here soon.

My work at the school is going well.  I am keeping the students busy and they are doing good work.  Heber is doing great at his job.  His bosses say they really like his work, and give him more in those same areas, so it must be true.  

Rachel has got the whole (girls) family into coupons, and that is fun (saving money).  Most of us got around 25-50 bottles of powerade-zero for less than $5.00.  I got 70 cans of tomatoes (sauce and diced) for the price of tax only--not bad.  

My belly is getting big--kinda fun...  I love to feel the baby moving inside of me though.  

I still feel super blessed to be married to Heber.  He is wonderful.  

Well, that's it for now...

Why I am excited about being pregnant, today.

Because our kids could be this cute!  This is a picture of Heber (and Sarah, his sis) when he was a little boy.  I am so excited that our kids could be this cute.  I don't have any pix of him younger, but let me just say, he has been cute for a long time!  I still think he is simply handsome.  I really think Grandma Adah helped me find him because I think Heber looks a lot like her son...Thanks Grandma.  So who are you sending next...like February 11th?  I am about half-way there in my pregnancy btw.....SMILE.

Graduation Walk

Heber and I are walking for Graduation this Friday at 8 am.  Yes, we graduated a while ago, but we didn't ever walk, wanting to walk together.  So, if any of you are in the neighborhood and want to come, give us a call or email, and we will fill you in on the details.

High School 80s Music Video (fixed link)

For all you who've always thought I was shy and reserved, well, I am shy, but I'm not always reserved! ;)  I made this video with my cousin, Kim, and she just put it on YouTube.  Get ready for a great video!  Heber, I hope this doesn't embarrass you;)'  too much.
