Life in Pocatello...

Well Pocatello definately is not like our STG! Its so cold up here! We are having fun though :) we live in a great ward and have awesome neighbors! Jakes job is going good, he likes working at he office alot better than door to door sales. Zoe is mobile! we have to make sure things are picked up and the floor is always vacuumed. She's not crawling but she scoots and she scoots fast! She is now to the point where we have to entertain her with toys so here comes the shopping. We got into a really nice place, very spacious, with three bedrooms and a garage! Were coming down for thanksgiving and cant wait to get to the better weather and see everyone! and here are some pictures of recent events! :D
Jake had to get his wisdom tooth pulled, 1 for now, the rest later. He was in so much pain! i felt so bad for him but thankfully he had vicadins haha here are some funny pictures from the dentist and of his monster tooth!


Then there was HALLOWEEN! this was seriously jakes first time carving pumpkins.



.....and he was afraid of the pumpkin goop hahaha

....so afraid that he wouldnt touch it! such a baby!




...and he didnt know you could cook the seeds either. but he liked em :)

Halloween night, Zoe was a Pea in a Pod! She didnt really get what was going on but we got candy out of it!

Moving Forward

First i just wanted to say how grateful I am for my husband. A friend told me that we need to honor our husbands because when the kids grow up and move out, he's still going to be there and be one of the most important people in your life. I really took that to heart and thinking back on our relationship, me and him have been through alot of hardships and have faced tough adversary. Sometimes people you trust or love will do you wrong, but Jake told me its all part of being on earth and the life test. Those people will have to face what they have done but we get judged on how we react and grow from the experience. It seems lately that the adversary has been targeting our family hard, just stuff after stuff. But i've also noticed that with each thing that we deal with, me and Jake become closer and we grow as a couple. Me and him are in it for the long haul, and its a journey that we've just begun and i cant wait for the rest. Among other things my parents got back together!! After being divorced and apart for the summer i think they both realized how much they needed each other and how stupid they were being! But there together again and very happy. After coming back from the fair, jake started building up a crew and we ran our own team down in st. george and we got so close to getting into a house and literally like the day before we were gonna put the money down he got a promotion and new opportunity.....in Pocatello Idaho.....the last place on earth i would have ever wanted to live but we prayed about it and decided to do it! Jake got to hang out with his friends steele and cord while i hung out with my girls the night before we left. It was alot of fun and we decided were coming back for like every holiday! So were up here now and we just found the cutest house, were moving in today when jake gets off work! Its in a new, nice, mormon area and right by all the shopping areas! I feel me and jake have been blessed and we love our Heavenly Father and all of our family and friends for all the support and help they have given us! Zoe is a couple days away from being 5 months old and she is as cute as ever! she's almost mobile too which is making me nervous! she can roll over and scoot and squirm so not very much longer and she'll be crawling all over! but i've got tons of pictures of Zoe and swimming with the family and me and my friends so enjoy the pictures!!
