tonight was my family party for my moms side of the family. it was at my moms house. grandpa and grandma siddoway are going to arizona in the morning to spend christmas with my uncle bob in gilbert AZ. we will miss them for the holidays. but we had soup and yummy christmas treats and aunt pat came from holladay and aunt kathy and ther two girls bailey and jocelyn from riverton, my brother matt and his wife and four kids came from salt lake, and jane and dallas and their 3 kids. then cant forget my baby sister who is almost 21 was there also. we played christmas songs with the chimes that my mom has had since i was 8 and we played the game with the presents when you read the story and pass right then left then right. my dad read the christmas story from the bible and we sang silent night. it was fun and great to be with my family. i am so grateful for my family.

merry christmas from jason and i. we hope your holidays are happy and bright. we are grateful for your love and friendship in our lives and wish you a happy and prosperous 2009.

i have not bloggered for a long time, i just had to leave that last post up for a long time cause i love my husband so much. not really i have just been lazy. i have been at the american fork branch for 3 months already and i LOVE it. i work with great people and i like being closer to home. i got my car fixed. no more dent in the door. we had a great thanksgiving at grandma and grandpa siddoways in pleasant grove. it was a lot of fun with my moms side of the family. we ate lots of yummy food and made bracelets out of bells, and magnets out of glass disks and scrapbook paper. it was fun to be with family. then on saturday jasons family came to our house and we had turkey dinner. i made my first turkey. i was real nervous but it turned out ok. jason won 3 turkeys at a clay pigion shoot so we had plenty of turkey. he is such a stud. thanks to aunt peg we had stuffing, green bean caserole, and yams. it was a lot of fun and we played games and hung out and had a good time. it has been a great year and jason and i have so much to be grateful for.
my cute friend shannon had her baby and she is so cute. Sienna Lauren Archer is her name and she is beautiful.
It is so cold out we usually come home from work eat dinner and watch tv. not too exciting. jason said to write if you arent watching monday night football tonight then you are stupid. so i guess i am stupid.
we went to the mtc yesterday to church with my mom and dad. my dad has been a branch president there for over 4 years and once in a while we go with them. it is really neat to go there. it has been especially neat lately because jasons brother, who is going on a mission to boston is in their branch right now. so we go to see him and take him some treats. it was pretty crazy that he ended up in my dads branch because 1600 missionaries went in the day he went in and he was assigned to my dads branch. it is fun to see and he looks great and will make a great missionary.
i am going to take lots of pictures so next time i will have lots of pictures of my cat or something. i hope everyone has a merry christmas and a happy new year!

jason and i had such a fun weekend...on friday night we went to rib city and had some ribs...we had never eaten there but i remembered that shannon had told me it was good...after that we went to jack and jills and went bowling...i felt like i was on a date and at 10:00 the lights went out and the music started and my ball glowed in the black lights...we were probably the oldest ones there or maybe i was but it was fun...we played 3 games and i won the first one and then jason kicked my butt the last 2 games...we want to go again soon...

saturday we did a lot of grocery shopping...i went to the case lot sale at maceys with my mom and jane and hadley and jason helped my dad with some roof problems

sunday we got up and went for a ride on the alpine loop and ended up at cascade springs...it was really pretty but i wouldnt let jason take a picture of me cause we didnt get ready...after we went there we drove down to midway and heber and went and saw my grandpa and grandma cochran's grave...when we got home my brother mark came over and we ate some pork tacos..mmmm...and now we are going to watch the packers/cowboys game and get ready for the week... i really like my new job and i dont dread work so much as i was for a while there...life is good and i know we are so blessed.

somebody backed into me this week when i was out and about on my lunch...it wasnt bad but just really annoying...i am still waiting to hear from the insurance...the cops said they couldnt site anyone cause it was on private property...but it was totally his fault...i just hope i dont have to fight with the insurance company to get it paid for...then that night at school jason backed into someone but you cant even see that one..but what is the deal...

shad my nephew turned 5 and we had a fun birthday party at chucky cheese...he is so funny and is getting so big...he is is preschool but will be starting kindergarten next year
shaddy with his daddy
dakota and shad in a blurry picture opening pictures it is hard to take pictures of them cause they are always moving...
but hadley is the worst she never stops moving only when she is sleeping but maybe it is cause she drinks pepsi
peace dakota and shad...i love them

its been a while since i have written...but i started my new position at the credit union and i love it. i am now at the american fork mountain america so if you are in the area come and visit me...i am happy to be back home and i love the people i work with but do miss the one's i did work with.
the past week was good. we went to iggys friday night to have a farewell party for my friend denise. i have known denise for almost 10 years. she is from heber and she started working at uccu with me and then helped me get a job at mountain america. she is transferring to st george and so we went to dinner with her and some friends and then hung out and had a great time. i will miss her she is a great friend to me, but i am excited for her and her new experiences she will have.
jason and i have had a nice relaxing weekend and are ready for the new week. we say baby mama and it was so funny and cute. i love the red box. that is a great invention, except for when you have to just return a dvd and there is someone in front of you who cant decide what movie to get. but i do love who invented the red box.
i hope everyone is doing good and i am excited to read your latest blogs.

i like books that have a lot of picture and a little bit of words and i realized that is what my blog looks like...but thats ok...i am going to write a little about jason and i and how we came to be. jason and i met in june 2006. i was with jane at bear lake and he was there with janes inlaws. we didnt really talk and i didnt see him again until may 2007. by then i had just sold my house and was living at home and he had just moved to wyoming to work in a mine. he came home for the weekend and we met and started talking on the phone every night til we realized he needed to move closer so we could make this work. he moved home and we started dating right away. jason got a job working for the phone company in eagle mountain and i actually started a new job at mountain america credit union. i was at utah community credit union for 9 years and switched to mountain america which was one of the best decision i ever made. i have been working in the sandy branch for the last year but am now moving to the american fork branch on tuesday to be the assistant manage...yea i will be so much closer to home...but anyway jason is still at eagle mountain phone company and he just started welding classes on monday and wed and he is really loving that. we are now living in eagle mountain where we are renting a condo that we love. we love our jobs but mostly love having fun on the weekends. we love going fishing and camping and going down to price and castle dale where jason is from to get away from everything...i love my husband he is so handsome and takes such good care of me.

kode was so brave he went first

going on a hike jason stayed behind to try and fix the tail gate on our truck and maz is taking the picture.
scary not quite sure how to flip the photos yet sorry
jason was tough
no hands


it was scary but fun glad i did it

my sister jane and her husaband dallas they have been married for almost 9 years i cant believe it time flies.
my bro mark being funny and shad sitting around the fire
steph with her shades on...she was hit by a water balloon a month ago at a institute party thrown by a catapult...she is lucky to have sight in her eyes they say.. it was pretty scary and we know that everything will be ok.
paul coming down the zip line it was scary but we all did it even grandpa...dakota was the first to go

this deer walked right up into our camp it was really neat to see
hailey cochran my neice i love her she has the cutest lisp when she talks and she has the prettiest eyes
hailey and hadley cousins...hadley is janes youngest and she is the funniest little thing...she love lip gloss and her hair done i think that is why we get along so good but she mostly loves my husband the most and always asked wheres jas everytime she sees me.
my brother matt and his youngest jocelyn mae they just moved to salt lake from kanab...matt is going back to school at the U had enough of working at the jain in hurricane...i am excited for them and their new jourey
janes boys dakota and shadrach being tough as usual...dakota is 7 almost 8 and just started the second grade and shad is 4 almost 5 starting his second year of preschool. they are both so smart and funny... i love them

we are trying to grow a hibiscus tree cause we dont have a yard and it is growing pretty good i thought it would be dead by now but we have new flowers all the time...it has done good lee.

this is jasons brother chris he worked at the pcc in hawaii for a few years and learned how to dance and do the fire knife it is really fun to watch and jason has helped him do a few of his shows this one was for a youth luau and it went really good
this one was for my friend amy and elan it was elans 30 th birthday and it went pretty good as well but jason and chris both burned their hands pretty good but the crowd loved it and that kind of made it worth it
jason is such a good helper he lights them and thrown them to chris and then he is ready to catch them when he is done and put the fire out.
jason is getting good some day he will be as good as chris and i can hire him out

ouch!!!!!!!! just look at the feet hopefully the youth were.

one of our favorite things to do is go fishing and camping...jason out on his new float tube he got this year
we went camping and fishing with jasons friends up above castle dale where jason is from and it was on of the prettiest places i have ever see. it was called grassy lake. i thought this guy was kinda cool looking so i took a picture of him hope he doesnt sue me.
this is jason's cousin will...wish we lived closer
ah...poor fishie...one of our favorite things to do in the summer...jason has had some good fishing this summer but i think i caught this one.
