Adoption/ Foster care update

Today I realized that it has been over a year since we started this adoption process. Now we are going to become foster parents, and I just cannot believe how fast the time has gone. School (and life) will do that to you. I am just so ready to be a mom, but I can wait until it is my turn I just need to practice patience.  I am excited to get the foster care classes over with so that will can be official foster parents and get children placed with us!

New things

So it is Sunday and so I went to church.  Today was the primary program and that was an adventure! I am pretty exhausted those sunbeams will keep you on your toes. I really do not know if I am suppose to be talking about this yet, but unofficially they are changing my calling to primary chorister. It will be exciting to get to have a new calling, and I have never really done anything with music church-wise, and i always thought the primary chorister would be fun, so here is to a new adventure. I am excited and nervous about it. Josh also got released from his Young Men's calling today, and now he is calling-less, but we will see how long that will last. 

Update

I haven't posted for a while because nothing exciting has been happening recently. We both have started school. I am a little stressed about my program, because it is going to be a lot of hard work and finding interpreters to shadow and all that scary stuff. Now instead of a B- I am going to have to receive a b or higher. I hope I can do it!
I spent the two weeks Josh was at A.T. in Burley helping my mom and Mother-in-law do some cleaning projects it was fun! That was pretty much a whole month worth of things I did. I have been pretty boring lately. We are in Burley for Labor day and we are going to jet ski and go 4-wheeling.  There was a tornado warning today, and now I know that my phone gets alerts when I am in an area where there is a warning.
In two weeks we get to go to Lagoon, we are trying to get the last out of this good weather.  Hopefully we will get some good pictures this weekend that I can post. 

Introducing

We got a new puppy! He is a pure breed Shih Tzu and we love him so much. I forgot how much work a puppy is, but it is not to bad we are enjoying the fun we are having with him. It is taking Bean and Ender a while to get use to him, but they are making good progress. We named him Zeddikus Zu'l, nicknamed Zedd, I know it is a mouthful, but like our other dogs he is being named from a book, The Sword of Truth series.

Aryelle's baby shower

After a few months of planning the day finally got here.  I did a "shower" theme with rain drops, boots, umbrellas, and clouds. We had a good time and setting up for it was pretty fun as well. Congrats Ary and Wil on the baby cannot wait to meet him or her.

Amari's blessing

This Sunday we went to little Amari's baby blessing. She looked do cute in her little blessing dress. We love getting to see our nieces and nephew all together on the same weekend we had a blast. The sad thing was that since Josh has been out of Miles's life for so long he had forgotten who he was. They were such good friends before they left, but since he has got back he has yet to warm back up to him. So after a BBQ on Saturday we were getting ready to go and Miles asked my dad. "Grandpa can Whitney and her guy friend Jerry stay?" It was funny, but Miles got mad that we laughed at his expense. Then on Sunday Josh asked him what is my name. "Stinky Uncle Josh" progress right? No. He then called him Uncle Jerry again trying to get his attention. I laughed he got mad. but then we were like it is ok you were teasing Josh right you know his name. Now they are back to being buddies again just in time for them to move to Oregon. We are pretty bummed they are leaving. I got to see Bray and Miles grow up, I am bummed we will miss little Amari growing up, but oh well we will just have to be happy about getting to see them on the holidays. We love being an aunt and uncle it is where a lot of our fun comes from. We cannot wait to have our own!

Reunion

We had our Doug Blauer family reunion a little while ago and it was so fun! It was Josh and my year to plan. We had everybody come down Friday night and we went out to dinner at B-dubs. The Saturday morning we went and rented out EP for an hour and a half. It was so awesome I love getting to go there and just run around! Then we went to Outer Limits and played laser tag. We had a blast! Then we hung out swam. played games, had a nice BBQ. We finished it up with a fun day on the mountains riding 4-whellers. All-in-all it was awesome I love having such a great time with people we love.

Fun at EP
