Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

At work this whole week we celebrated Dr. Seuss. We had lots of fun things for the kids at school during the week. A lot of the teachers did some really fun activities with their classes. They got to make blue jello cups and put swedish fish in them for One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. On Friday most of the elementary schools were letting their kids have PJ day so we decided to have a PJ day too so I wore some PJs to work. Then Carlene had a birthday cake ordered from Lin's so we got to have cake too. That day was pretty good...I had like 3 pieces of cake! And Thursday I had like 1/2 a bag of left over fish :)

They don't look green but they are and you can see the ham in there too 

That night I made some green eggs and ham. At first Kyle wouldn't eat the eggs because they were green (aka a VV color) But then he started quoting the book and said if I quoted the book with him then he would eat them.

Happy Valentine's Day 

Kyle's Basketball Game

Kyle has been playing on an inter-mural basketball team with some guys from work...
I was bored just sitting there and was playing fruit ninja until I kept losing, so I started taking some pictures from it...Here are some of the pictures from the night. The game was pretty intense. This was the first game his team won. They were up pretty far about 10-15 points but then the other team started to come back. And they did the very last minute. Kyle's team was losing and as the buzzer went off one of his teammates tipped the ball in to go into over time. It was funny to listen to the other wives yelling at the refs. They were pretty protective of their husbands.It made me laugh at how vocal they were. I got a video of Kyle scoring and a couple pictures from the night.

Water Break 

Everyone is so happy after winning :)

SNOW...

Kyle has been looking at Physical Therapy schools that are relatively close to Nevada, But the other day he said we're going somewhere where it DOES NOT SNOW. I agreed with him full heartily and now I'm saying we're definitely going somewhere that white stuff doesn't fall from the sky. I like the snow as long as I don't have to be in it. So, when I have to walk, drive and especially clean my car off 6 times a day it's not fun and I don't like it.
Yesterday, when we got done with church is when it all started...I was in a good mood because we had just had an uplifting lesson in Relief Society and as I walked out of the RS room Kyle was waiting for me and all he had to do was point to the doors and I saw that white stuff everywhere and coming down like crazy...Not to mention it's supposed to be like this pretty much all week. That's when this damper mood started.
I shouldn't complain but I'm sick of snow here in Cedar when it's 60-70 degrees in Nevada.


Also....I got another calling as a ward pianist. I won't have to play that often but we had a meeting last night and there is someone who's willing to give organ lessons so I think I'm going to try it out. :)

What we've been up to...

What we've been up to...
We have been doing really well. Nothing too exciting, just usual day stuff except on weekends. A normal day goes as following...
5:30 Kyle gets up for work 
5:40 Naomi gets up for prayers and to send Kyle off to work.
6:00 Kyle goes to work, Naomi goes back to sleep or the gym (depending on the day) :) 
Kyle works mornings from about 6-9 and then goes to school all day. He also volunteers at Turn once a week and then gets about 4 hours of Physical Therapy shadowing during the week. 
7:30 or 8:30 Naomi goes to work
4:30 or 5:30 Naomi gets off work 
5:30-7:00 We make dinner and eat
7:00- 10:30 Depending on the day we watch TV, Kyle has inter-mural basketball games, Kyle studies and does homework. We do have other things going on but that's what we usually do.


Some other things that have gone on...


Jan 28. Our Stake had a cool Saturday planned for everyone. It was a Marriage Symposium. We started off with breakfast and then listened to 3 speakers and they did a texting thing. Then they had The Garden House cater lunch and it was so yummy. After that Kyle went home and we took a nap. Kyle had to be to work at 5:30 So we could go to the symposium at 8:30 and I can always sleep. We then worked on our talks for Sunday. I talked on being a student of the gospel and Kyle talked about being favored of the Lord. 


We got a combined calling for church as Gospel Doctrine Teachers. We were glad that we get to do it together and it'll be fun to study the scriptures together. Plus, it's only going to be once a month so that's even better :)


We got to go home (to Mesquite and Overton) Feb. 3. It was so nice to get out of the cold weather and see some REAL sunshine. Friday night we went to the basketball games. (VV Varsity boys and girls both won) Then Saturday Kyle, Randall, Mitch and I went and played Tennis at the high school. I really stink at it but they were all nice and didn't laugh at me. That was pretty much the first time I had played to. Kyle was a champ and jogged back to his parents house with me. We then went to Mesquite and hung out with my family and had dinner and then played games. Sunday we got to sleep in and then went to church. Kyle's whole extended family came over for the Super Bowl and we had a yummy lunch. They always have good food :) We started for Cedar with his friend Dallin before the game was over and just listened to it on the Radio. The Giants won but I can't remember the score. We had a really great relaxing weekend.

Craftiness and the Bachelor

After Christmas I got some ornaments 50% off so on Monday I had some extra time while watching the Bachelor. I don't necessarily agree with the show but I like the drama...It makes me laugh. Kyle was a champ and watched it with me and helped a little bit with making these wreaths. :) 

This is the spring one..the picture is horrible and I need to do something with the bow but for now it'll do.

This is the Christmas one...

That's my man

January 1, 2012

On Kyle's mom's side of the family all of the siblings pitch in and by each newly wed couple a kitchen aid. On Saturday we finally got it. Thanks to Cameron and Kelsey they brought it to us. They also brought us a wedding present from them. They got us a cup-cake balls pan. We had dinner together. Kyle and I made yummy southwest eggrolls with avacado ranch dressing. I have been getting some really good recipes off of pintrest and blogs. On Sunday the 1st after church we decided to try the kitchen aid and cake pan out. The first batch of cup-cake balls didn't turn out too great  but then the next batch was perfect. We just needed to put less batter in each ball. Later that night we went over to our neighbor's apartment and played the kinect (fruit ninja and another game) then word on the street and Likewise. It was really fun with good treats and good people. 

Our First batch of cake balls...you can see in the bottom left corner that  is how they were supposed to look

Our Kitchen Aid

Our first picture together at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately it was late that night. I fell asleep before midnight on the 31st and Kyle didn't want to wake me up. I felt bad that he had to celebrate by himself.
