Ok Now I Must Be Feeling Guilty.

Just wanted all to know we are still alive and well. I sometimes get so bogged down in life that I just don't take the time. It is kind of sad because I so enjoy reading everyone elses blogs. And I have forgotten most of what has happened in the last 3 or so months. I will try to do better AGAIN. This summer was fun and busy. Jessica got married. Got to spend time with family, especially those from out of state. We took the kids and grandma and grandpa Stonehocker to Wolf Creek for 5 days and had a blast. The kids started school so early this year and I have been scrambling trying to get them ready and get into the school routine. Here it is the middle of September and I'm still struggling at that. The girls have also started soccer and dance. So between everything it is pretty chaotic. I'm sure so many more things happened but that is what happens when you don't blog regularly. I'm sorry there are no pictures but I need to download them off of my camera and if you know me that may take a while.

Horseback Riding

We had so much fun horseback riding at our neighbors house. The kids were very excited but not as much as the moms. It had been years for us and we were all excited to do it again. Jacquie and Lisa were in town so we had Jonathon and Kaden. First the little boys got to go with the moms. It was so cute to see, especially Kaden. His helmet was a little too big and it kept coming down over his eyes. Then Lisa got to ride for a minute. She was so nice to take the little boys back to the house while Jacquie and I stayed with the girls. All of the girls got to ride all by themselves and they did so well. Then Jacquie and I got a chance. It had been so long but it was just like getting back on a bike after a while. I loved it and hope we another chance to ride again.

Pioneer Trek

I am so thankful that my parents gave us the opportunity to join them on their ward Trek. It was a lot of work to get ready for but well worth it. It was a 7 hour drive out to Wyoming. We went to the Willie Handcart site. This is where they got stopped by an early winter storm and where they stopped to die. They were rescued but not before a lot of lives were lost. It was so neat to take my girls with me so we could all have a small experience like the pioneers. Of course we had great shoes, good clothing, plenty of food, and it only lasted for 8 hours. It wasn't even as hard as they had it and it was still hard. I realized how extremely spoiled and fortunate I am. I also got the opportunity to feel the spirit whisper the truthfulness of the gospel to me. It truly was a great learning experience. On the other hand the kids might have been just a little too young. They truly didn't understand what we were there for and as one of my kids said " Grandma why are they torturing us." I hope they can look back and see it for the neat experience it was.

Jessica's Wedding

I can't believe my youngest sister is now married. It was so beautiful at her reception. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, especially the kids who ran wild. Jess, I am so happy for you and wish you the best.

Family Times

I'm sure not good at keeping up on this blog yet, but I'm trying. Life is well for all involved. The kids are growing and I can't believe how quickly they don't need you any more. I am keeping busy as ever but I am trying to learn to say "NO" and how to prioritize. I'm sure it will take me a while and I hope my family won't suffer any more. J.P. is doing fine except he is always on the prowl for that all illusive dream job. We are trying our hand in a company called Kyani. It is a health supplement using Alaska blueberries, Salmon omega 3's and incredible vitamin E(I can't yet remember the name yet.) So far it seems to be doing wonders for J.P. I'll be starting mine soon. If anyone wants a sample let me know. It is free of cost. Anyway back to the important stuff. Mom and Dad Stonehocker are plugging away . Both are keeping busy to avoid that empty Nester's syndrome. Mom has a singing group, racquetball group, and working at the temple. Dad as always keeps his hands in many different businesses and with projects improving the house. Have you ever known dad to sit still? We had bad news from Jayson and Jacquie. They lost their little girl this last week and we give them our condolences and wish them the best. Jeron and Lisa are doing well in Arizona. Hope they don't fry in the summer sun. Josh will be heading up to Canada soon and trying to make hoards of money with Justin making screens. Joy and Bryan are settling in nicely into their new home just around the corner from me. Jessica is engaged to a young man named Justin Johnson. They are happy and in love. The Radford side of the family is surviving. I don't know what else to say. Mom is living in an apartment on the East side of Provo. She is enjoying being so close to nature and she loves the view. Elijah lives not many blocks away. Natalie and Aaron got married on February 29,08. They are enjoying starting their new family life together. Stephanie is up in Daybreak and enjoying living close to her sister. The Whiting Grandparents are living in Saratoga Springs. They have the most gorgeous view of the lake and mountains. They, and so do we , love having them so close. It is the first time in 28 years J.P. has had a chance to have his father around. The grand kids love hanging out with Mimi and Papa.

Things to know about me.

Hey Guys, about time I updated my site. I will get better at this a little at a time. Our family is doing well and escaping the flu season, mostly, barring the occasional cold or fever. The kids are growing fast and doing well in school. We recently celebrated Jayven and Arianna's b-days, 2nd and 7th. Here is something a friend sent me via e-mail. It helped me to have something laid out for me to fill out. So if any of you want me to add to the blog you might have better luck if you send me ideas for a little while. K. Love you all. Jenn
