Since it's been MONTHS since I've blogged, I thought it was high time I updated on our little lives! Let's start with Deckland: Deckland turned the big ONE on August 30th! He is a crazy kid, climbing on everything and then yelling, "Ma Ma Ma Ma" to make sure I see how proud he is for climbing up a pile of boxes! (Maybe he's trying to hint to me that I need to unpack or move out some of these boxes?!) He just learned how to say, "Hi!" and will wave hello and goodbye and constantly declares, "Uh Oh!" My favorite thing is sticking him in front of a mirror and do kissy faces! His are SO cute! I just love this stage with him . . . although he is so keeping me on my toes!<br />

Sevy started 1st grade at Sleepy Hollow Elementary with the same Principal that Jon had while he was there! She loves it and is meeting tons of new friends and learning how to read and spell! She amazes me every day with what she knows! We just learned last week that she has followed suit of Jon and I and needs glasses! She's actually excited about it . . . and I'm already not looking forward to years of struggle with glasses, and then contacts! Moo Cow is still her best friend, and for Christmas she is asking for clothes for her, because apparently the one outfit she has is not enough! She is still my crazy little tomboy but is getting girlier (which I love too!). Love this girl!<br />

Teikers! This big boy turned FOUR on June 27th and is a big boy now! He loves his new school (he goes to PreK at Quail Creek) and loves his teachers and LOVES Deckland! Poor kid gets attacked by Teik daily! He is currently obsessed with the Hulk (of all heroes!), and legos and all things boy! We put him and Sevy in soccer camp last month and both loved it! He and I are spending time working on letters and I have recently learned he loves to draw and is actually pretty good at it! He is my little snuggle bug and insists on hugs and kisses before bed or else it really is devastation city! I just love this kid and love to see how he is growing and changing!<br />

Jon and Myself: Well, we moved to Amarillo this summer and Jon started working in July at the Sheman Group and LOVES it! He works with some great Dentists and the office staff there are amazing! It's such a relief that he actually loves going to work and doing what he does! I am teaching at a couple gyms here and love my classes, although the times are less than ideal! Oh well!<br />
<br />

We are so proud of you Jon! It's been a long time coming, and super hard on all of us at times, but I know it will be totally worth it! We found out the day before graduation that he passed his boards, so once all the paperwork is done, he is officially a licensed dentist!!! AHHH! Dr. Jon! It suits you!</div>

I sadly realized I haven't posted in over a month. So here's a bit of what's been going on! Firstly, we've been going to the beach! Not terribly often since Deckland isn't the funnest guy to deal with there, but we have hit up a bunch of beaches we had never explored yet!<br />

Teik is my fantastic big boy! He loves chillin' with Deckland and crawl in his crib which makes me so mad, and makes Dex so happy! What do ya do?! Today, he went in for round two of tubes in his ears, and has recently started speech therapy, so we are hopeful we will get him caught back up with his clarity of speech!<br />

Deckland! This kid is growing too fast! He is officially 8 months today, properly crawling, pulling up to standing, and tries to walk while pulled up. He constantly has bruises and bumps on his head from his constant falls, but rarely cries unless he's REALLY hurt . . . like when he face-planted in my bathroom and his binky cut into his gums!

Scarier than a day at the beach. Climbing up and over cargo nets. The slippery slide, which was sadly not that slippery so it was easier to walk down. Not pictured is a steep incline, and a wall climb with a rope (these 2 I was overly proud to have passed, seeing I've ever done either before!). There was a "catamaran crossing" which was running across floaties over water "Ninja Warrior"-style. Lots of mud and rivers were trudged. Spiderman crawl over cargo nets. Up and unders with little walls and barbed wire. A step up climb to a fireman pole you slide down. You get the idea of what we were dealing with!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3wx1dxY3bgyS9lr-WDgIvM5ey8fPYy4Cl9BSzrdz0XHQoU8MfRvABfEuji1jxfa3W3r0keE52tjkcv_kI8izg_fr_UQpPhgb4vJAH3I2x_kuy9Kt5VkHMyfGqdJXW7maWGscGkQ/s1600/DSC06948.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3wx1dxY3bgyS9lr-WDgIvM5ey8fPYy4Cl9BSzrdz0XHQoU8MfRvABfEuji1jxfa3W3r0keE52tjkcv_kI8izg_fr_UQpPhgb4vJAH3I2x_kuy9Kt5VkHMyfGqdJXW7maWGscGkQ/s320/DSC06948.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721436144021758482" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left; "><span >Apparently</span></span><span > while I was racing, the kids were being decked out in awesomeness!</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5_cebDxvRzIt3zPlHYyPiMY9h2dv6O13nDVuGhzPaPzKgGkrtf2bd4BP2yPHlOKeXhs_i_KfVcnvbrKh8oSsp389l2bGJ4QNjeHejqL6mZLe6TglPeWidcDvjOnLk8lACuGx_rg/s1600/DSC06953.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5_cebDxvRzIt3zPlHYyPiMY9h2dv6O13nDVuGhzPaPzKgGkrtf2bd4BP2yPHlOKeXhs_i_KfVcnvbrKh8oSsp389l2bGJ4QNjeHejqL6mZLe6TglPeWidcDvjOnLk8lACuGx_rg/s320/DSC06953.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721436142891351794" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, this is me "heal-clicking" over fire!

We weren't raised girly, and I am admittedly more tomboy that girly-girl, but still, it was a very girl-centered household. Sevy is so easy, but now I find myself the mother of two boys, and Teik is truly a boy. The kid loves to wrestle, and sadly who he's wrestling is Deckland. He's my little Viking who loves sharks. He tries to do front flips on the couch and doesn't understand why I freak out when trying to catch him before he hits the ground. He's ALWAYS dirty, CONSTANTLY changing his clothes, and REPEATEDLY ignores what I ask him. The best part . . . HE LOVES ME! Regardless of the many times I yell and freak out--he always wants hugs and kisses and politely thanks me for the little things. I'm trying to learn what it is to be a mom to boys. I want to learn the fine-line of letting them be crazy boys but still being respectful, and kind, and centered. I want to be THAT mom that people tell me, "I love your boys!" because they are GOOD kids. Now comes the fun part of figuring out how to make that happen!Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-88358238260199569472012-01-08T14:01:00.002-06:002012-01-08T14:24:12.843-06:00The Big 3-0 . . .It's official, I'm now an adult. I've been looking back in my life and trying to determine the 30 ultimate events that made me who I am now at 30. This list is in no particular order, and I know I'm missing a bunch, but here it is:<div><br /></div><div>1. Working as a welder for my dad for basically every summer of my life.</div><div>2. Scuba diving in various parts of the world.</div><div>3. Playing in the half-time of a bowl game.</div><div>4. Lake Powell: with my family, friends, perfect strangers, and the Naccarato family!</div><div>5. Studying the Book of Mormon in South America.</div><div>6. Meeting a boy with the worse bleach-job I've ever seen at Ricks College my freshman year.</div><div>7. Working with Grandpa Walker.</div><div>8. The Ultimate Summer where we rock-climbed, waterskied, and long-boarded every day after work.</div><div>9. Studying art in Italy.</div><div>10. Graduating BYU.</div><div>11. Traveling Europe with my mom and Candice.</div><div>12. Standing in the top of a pillion during a race in Reno.</div><div>13. Taking a spontaneous trip to Canada to go skydiving.</div><div>14. Various random road-trips to California in college (some without knowing where we are staying!).</div><div>15. Marrying Jon--the kid with the bad hair--after 2 months of dating and 4 years of friendship.</div><div>16. Moving to Texas.</div><div>17. Sevryn Kelly.</div><div>18. Becoming a fitness instructor.</div><div>19. Kristian Teik.</div><div>20. Training for and completing the MS 150.</div><div>21. Running my first 5k.</div><div>22. Competing in my first triathlon.</div><div>23. Drumline</div><div>24. Deckland Knute.</div><div>25. The Sunnyside Branch.</div><div>26. Hiking in the Swiss Alps.</div><div>27. The SSU (if you don't know what this is, you are missing out)!</div><div>28. Learning to quilt.</div><div>29. Hawaii with my mom and sisters.</div><div>30. My family. (this includes all Bagley's, all Walker's, all Ormson's, and all non-related "family" members who helped mold me into who I am today.)</div><div><br /></div><div>I look back at my first 30 years and can only hope my next 30 are as fun, adventurous, and worthwhile! Hopefully we will be added more kids, cousins, friends, in-laws, grandkids, trips, memories, and more!</div>Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-77430211592801145172011-12-20T16:30:00.005-06:002011-12-20T17:07:46.801-06:00Finally!

Our little Dex is 12 weeks old now and really is such a great baby! He is now sleeping an 8 hour stint at night, only to wake up wanting to be fed, and then go back to sleep. I think he sleeps so well at night, because he doesn't have an older "helpful" brother trying to attack him. And with that, he is very tolerant of Teik trying to lay on him and play with him and read to him and basically torture him without any real fuss. Because of that, poor kid is still in my room because we FEAR what will happen with our helpful Teik and little Deckland! He loves Sevy and she is still the main person we go to if we want him to laugh. Jon has the special trick too, but Sevy is a rock star at it! He's still a string-bean, but we know when solids hit he will likely chunk out! I swear I'll post pictures soon, but I figured a little update would probably be good!Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-40069326947729621502011-11-04T17:39:00.005-05:002011-11-04T18:04:06.409-05:00My "Scary" ChildrenOh how far we've come from our <a href="http://jonandkat.blogspot.com/2010/10/zoo-boo.html">Fairies and Gnomes</a>!

<br />So far we are doing good with our brood of 3.
<br /> I'm so glad it's a holiday weekend though and plan on recovering myself so maybe
<br />by Monday I'll feel human. For now, I'm enjoying my pain meds, sleeping on the couch,
<br />and being as lazy as humanly possible. Staples come out Tuesday
<br />and I fear that more than anything so far!
<br />Wish us luck!

BUT, I love this picture because we have the temple behind us, and just witnessed the last of either of our siblings marrying their eternal companions! Very cool! How blessed am I to marry into a family that, just like my own, I can enter the temple with!

<br />Love you Jon Jon! You are by best friend, the father of our crazy kids, and my favorite person to pester!

We seem to get these a lot lately. This week is definitely no exception.<div>
<br /></div><div>It all started just a week or so ago when our trusty Nissan decided it was time to have major problems. A warning light had been on for a couple months and we knew we needed to get it fixed, but were avoiding it. Well, this all changed when the temperature gage decided to give up the ghost which lead to a/c issues. In Houston, not having a/c is not an option, and since Jon was heading off to Amarillo, and I would be driving the Nissan, we had to buck up and pay. One thousand dollars later, the Nissan is rocking again and we were in business!</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Now for this week. We've been enjoying the last week of summer with Jon which means a lot of driving and a lot of fun. This was true until our a/c started to give out in our Honda. At first it was sporadically coming and going and then it totally gave up. Keep in mind that all week has been over 100* and I'm 36 weeks pregnant, AND we have kids who sweat in a snow storm. Awesome. Jon's been looking up potential problems, and if it's what we think, it'll be $1000 to get it working again. Keep in mind: Houston=hot until November=not having a/c is not an option.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Now for the best part. After dinner, I headed upstairs to get our guest room cleaned up and noticed it was uncommonly hot. Oh yes. Back in March we were having this problem and had it checked out and learned we have to get a major a/c unit part replaced, but put it off because 1: it cost a lot and 2: after the freon refill, it's been working just fine. Well, it's lasted a good while but our luck has run out again. Here's to another $1000+ bill heading our way--which once again is a necessity, not a luxury.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>For me, I don't think this would all suck so bad except the fact that we are students, and since I'm so pregnant, the money I would be able to bring in thanks to my classes is basically nonexistent for the next few months. I physically cannot teach much, and everyone is coming back from vacation which goes all the water-aerobic subbing I could actually do, and baby is coming this month so I won't be teaching after that for a couple months anyway. Grr.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>It's just turned into one of those "when it rains, it pours" situation that makes us focus on all the other crappy things going on; like how uncomfortable I am, how Sevy starts school so soon and we'll have to pay a load in gas and parking, how we still don't have a name for this baby, and how our house value keeps dropping. Yeah, we are full of optimism in our household right now!</div><div>
<br /></div><div>So, if anyone has any great names, any really cheap meal ideas, or any happy thoughts, send them our way! We could sure use it!

So small, that it was just my two kids! So I sent my counselors to Relief Society and decided me the kids were just going to sing! I had the Sharingtime lesson prepared, but was struggling with how I was going to teach it to a younger group from the get-go, so didn't really worry about teaching it. Near the end of our hour (we only have 2 hour church currently), Sevy asked why we hadn't done Sharingtime yet. So, I taught it. I've been teaching Primary so long and every week decide that the kids don't listen to me. I'm always annoyed or frustrated or just tired. Today though, teaching Sevy one-on-one (Teik was aimlessly wandering the room), I realized, she really is listening. She knew the answers to all my questions, and caught on a lot better than I expected. It made me love teaching again--even with our simple 10 minute lesson where the majority of it was spent helping her spell out words to fill in a worksheet! I was telling Jon about this on our way home from church and we decided that for FHE, we are going to teach her out of the CTR manual that she would be learning out of if we had the regular church schedule. I do now feel that she is learning and missing out on great lessons. The best part--it makes FHE easy because I have the manual and an activity book that goes along with it! We are redetermined to tackle FHE!Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-51240590769267344702011-06-23T12:11:00.002-05:002011-06-23T12:23:35.436-05:00Hmmm . . . it's been awhile!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfjfJYe5nawYRDEAMUmzScbzN5uaLDYTdmr-7Y-8mvPfCbPzpiACnK89bIBcQTl7AwGwGNyQiHVHJg90fPzhyPSN6Oa4ZVbNzqy3QHzcIuNcjM1WXgIqguwHHNgCaLR3uBv-tyg/s1600/DSC04892.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfjfJYe5nawYRDEAMUmzScbzN5uaLDYTdmr-7Y-8mvPfCbPzpiACnK89bIBcQTl7AwGwGNyQiHVHJg90fPzhyPSN6Oa4ZVbNzqy3QHzcIuNcjM1WXgIqguwHHNgCaLR3uBv-tyg/s400/DSC04892.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621464239997692098" border="0" /></a>Remember that one time I was going to blog about our road trip in multiple parts? Well, I've given up on that! Just know, it was AMAZING and we saw so many loved ones and the kids had a blast!<br /><br />Since then, it has been Summer as usual her in Houston! We've spent a lot of time at the beach, at the pool, and at various splash parks! The other day we even went to an Astros game with <a href="http://ashandkris.blogspot.com/">Kris and Ashley</a>! It's a shame the Astros are terrible! The best part of the night was during batting practice, Jon and the kids were trying to catch fly balls and as one was coming straight to Jon, a guy shoved right in front of him, Sevy, and Teik, to catch the ball, AND THEN DROPPED IT! The guys in the field threw it back up to the guy, who was getting glares from everyone in the area because they saw him shove over kids, and he quickly ran out of there!<br /><br />Tomorrow, we are heading to Sea World--one of our favorite places ever--to spend a couple of days enjoying the shows and the water park! Jon has a couple of days off and since I put him straight to work when he has a break, we decided we better have some play time too!<br /></div>Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-57037032126227464502011-05-31T14:27:00.003-05:002011-05-31T14:45:12.840-05:00Roadtrip: Part One: Utah and Yellowstone<div style="text-align: center;">We started our marathon of a roadtrip by going up to Utah.

I always feel if I write them down, I'm more likely to actually do them!<br /><br />1. Finish my load of craft projects without starting new ones. (I made a new list yesterday, so hopefully I won't find new ideas!)<br /><br />2. Teach Teik colors, shapes, and the alphabet. He gets neglected on stuff like that.<br /><br />3. Make summer program for Sevy to keep up on all the awesome stuff she learned in school.<br /><br />4. Organize baby stuff.<br /><br />5. Finish Sevy's room.<br /><br />6. Get an stellar tan. (I'm really not one to worry about skin cancer!)<br /><br />7. Get Jon in shape. (His goal too--school does a number on normally active people).<br /><br />8. Keep working until at least the end of July--except my water classes which I should be good through August.<br /><br />9. Keep my garden flourishing (aka, remember to water it.)<br /><br />10. Make my lawn presentable. It's really sad right now.<br /><br />I really should include things like: Eat out less, Keep up on my housecleaning, Cook more, Save money, etc. but honestly, I don't know if that will happen. It's our last official summer here in Houston and I want to hit up the beach, and Sea World, and pools and such, and in doing that, I'm sure I'll be picking up food, and spending money on gas and sunscreen and frankly-clothes that fit! My house is always that last thing on my mind. Still hoping the kids will take me seriously when I tell them to pick up their toys!Jon + Kathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13371678232426207219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33625910.post-78407140083799762282011-04-24T20:46:00.004-05:002011-04-24T21:05:27.558-05:00Easter!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjBIo7w24-8N9V6Hf8pw75p3vXcJaX8aKY9pZ4lsguyVzHt6KFAJ6Vcfadu3QAub8-NV_KBaJy8NHyaPM2div4OtabKv25oXq2A8EjMJhWI90VPOcUVp9I20__cWQwfvuwEkt_Q/s1600/DSC02964.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjBIo7w24-8N9V6Hf8pw75p3vXcJaX8aKY9pZ4lsguyVzHt6KFAJ6Vcfadu3QAub8-NV_KBaJy8NHyaPM2div4OtabKv25oXq2A8EjMJhWI90VPOcUVp9I20__cWQwfvuwEkt_Q/s320/DSC02964.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599333948667181474" border="0" /></a>I love Easter! I love the lessons surrounding the Resurrection, I love Easter baskets, I love the songs we sing at Church, I love getting/making the kids cute outfits, and I love dressing up and taking pictures! This year, was no exception! Being in the Branch, and the Primary at that, I get to teach a lot of lessons every Sunday. This year, both Sharingtime and CTR revolved around Christ's death, resurrection, and the fact that thanks to Him, we shall have Eternal lives! Loved it! What made it even better was the view right as we pulled in! Do you see that in the picture above?! That's right! Our new building is ACTUALLY getting walls! We also learned this week that the new building will have a font! So exciting!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5xcNeza7ApnfyMRHyRzfDGaqXuQ4lSM9V1XO4UqI3_LhA_hOZWnNK51R7KjpN7zCLSa24Use-I2tZLuwJFHSmay2vx07pPimIA9Sr2lD2ubBEGvHSHeyDn7bxkCGMc4CMuR8n0Q/s1600/DSC02996.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5xcNeza7ApnfyMRHyRzfDGaqXuQ4lSM9V1XO4UqI3_LhA_hOZWnNK51R7KjpN7zCLSa24Use-I2tZLuwJFHSmay2vx07pPimIA9Sr2lD2ubBEGvHSHeyDn7bxkCGMc4CMuR8n0Q/s320/DSC02996.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599333344826430802" border="0" /></a>After church, we decided to take pictures. Every time we drive down 288 we pass this random steel yard with funny sculptures. For the past 3 years I've been wanting to take pictures here! Today, my dream came true!

I'm not in love with the top, but I love the bottom! I stole the idea from <a href="http://www.chasing-fireflies.com/frothy-tulle-dress/productinfo/33657/">here.</a> Not willing to spend the money, I did my own thing with muslin and tulle and a <a href="http://butterick.mccall.com/search-pages-624.php?search_term=b4967&submit.x=0&submit.y=0">Butterick</a> pattern I've had for awhile!<br /><br />Tonight we had a fabulous dinner with our friends the Talbots, Greg Opdahl, and of course Kris and Ashley! It was amazing and I think I ate ham for 4 hours straight and still could eat more!

I've been aching to go, so finally, Friday, Jon got home early and we went! The kids loved it!
