I just applied to rent a house in Alaska. My current home isn't even sold, yet we are moving next week.<br />
<br />
In May our life turned upside down when we accepted an offer to check out a job opportunity in Alaska. Our initial response was, "No, we are fine, we like our life in Idaho and are not looking to relocate to Alaska." However, it wouldn't leave us alone, in the back of our minds we were still thinking about it and finally decided to at least look into it. So off we went on an impromptu trip to Alaska. Jeremy spent his 40th birthday on an airplane traveling to Alaska.<br />

<br />
After a brutal week of listing the pros and cons and none of it making sense we choose to go for it - to turn our lives upside down, to move as far away as possible from family (as if Florida hadn't been far enough away), to move to the cold and the dark and for what -- a feeling, a deep burning feeling that it is absolutely the right thing for our family.<br />
<br />
For the first week after our decision I felt absolute peace, a calmness and was sure that we made the right decision. Unfortunately that feeling didn't stay and major stress replaced it. We had an emotionally rough summer - June, July and August were tormenting months and I (and Jeremy, we took turns) no longer felt the same certainty. It seemed like if we were making the right decision for our future that every thing should just fall into place and it would be easy.<br />
<br />
But, not all good things are easy and smooth sailing. Much of my emotional stress was my own fault - I was trying to force things to fall into place, like wanting our house to sell sooner (that's been the biggest stress by far) and trying to find a decent place to rent. Looking back I shouldn't have given any thought to those two things until now, starting too early on those things just brought unneeded stress.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The other major stress has been how to get us and our stuff up to Alaska - a moving company, going by ferry, driving through Canada. We've decided to drive with our stuff through Canada on a five day moving trip. Is that the best decision? I don't know. One thing I know for certain is that there have been no easy answers, no obvious answers, every question, every decision has been thoroughly talked over multiple times and each time we come back to the beginning not knowing what decision to make. Just typing this up makes me feel the stress of it all again.<br />
<br />
The one thing I know right now is that when I applied for the rental I felt good about it and I feel good about moving next week. People keep asking me if I'm excited about moving. I haven't been able to feel excited because I've been too stressed, had too many decisions to make. I think next week I'll be able to start feeling excited about it all.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to a new adventure. However, I leave Idaho with a heavy heart. We have made so many wonderful friends here. Florida wasn't as hard to leave. We have and had many wonderful friends there, but most of them were students, like we were, and they too left and moved on to other places. Here, in Idaho we are the ones leaving and I'm sad, my kids are sad and it's harder.<br />
<br />
So, to all my Idaho friends, I love you, thank you so much for loving me, I will always love you and I'm not leaving you, I'm taking you with me in my heart.<br />

I am thankful for photos, for memories, for the opportunity to reflect back on things that have happened. One thing looking back does for me is put today in perspective. If my kids are being hard to deal with, looking back at photos helps remind me how cute they really are and now is just a small moment and looking back I'm only really going to remember the good things.</div>

I've missed being creative and doing things with photos - i.e.. scrapbooking. Last week I spent a marathon day getting over 400 photos into a photo book (printed through My Publisher). It was awesome to get it all done in one day and the kids love looking back at photos. But I still crave the creative side of embellishing and using fun papers.<br />

Here is a fun page that I did - it is a photo of when I was a kid - from the year 1989 (or so). I was dressed as a punk rocker. It's fun to look back and see photos of when I was a kid. I spend so much time with current photos that I haven't taken much time to look back at photos from when I was growing up. I must be in a bit of a nostalgic mood today, because this morning as I sat to read my scriptures I saw my journal on the shelf next to me and picked it up and began reading. It was my college-age journal (18-21 years old). I read for about an hour.<br />

This is the other page I created today. A picture of Jeremy with Henry and Matthew looking at books. The pages I'm currently working on are centered on "thankful for...". I'm thankful for books and that my children love books.<br />
<br />
Going back to digital scrapbooking felt a bit awkward because I'm rusty and out of practice. I also realized how far behind I am in Photoshop Elements editions - I have version 6 and version 14 just came out. I bought version 6 in 2008. It's time to upgrade. I tried to today, but I failed. I purchased a download, but didn't pay attention and got the Windows version instead of the Mac version. I have to wait a few days for them to refund the Windows version and then I will buy the Mac version - so frustrating. <br />
<br />
So, what's new with us since the last time I posted a year and a half ago? Nothing big. We are still homeschooling, kids are getting bigger and older. We still live in Idaho, we still travel to St. George regularly to visit family.<br />
<br />
Winter is here already. Today was the first snow day of the year and my kids made the most of it. Even before they had breakfast they were digging out snow clothes and suiting up. Snow pants, socks, snow boots, scarfs, coats, hats, mittens - oh my so much required. My kids love it. I, however, prefer warmer weather and flip flops. It's a good thing they went out first thing in the day to enjoy the snow. By afternoon it was mostly melted and gone.Jenni Taysomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06962389435243328846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20670097.post-69821480152629774692014-05-06T16:18:00.000-06:002014-05-06T16:18:34.276-06:00Family Outing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In April we went as a family to Orange Leaf Yogurt. The kids had earned coupons, an ounce for each A they got on their report cards. We had not gone to Orange Leaf before, so it was fun to try a new place. The kids were able to get 3 different flavors in their cup and add some toppings. I loved how fun and colorful the place was and I ended up taking many photos.Jenni Taysomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06962389435243328846noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20670097.post-47906085866841501612014-02-18T17:20:00.000-07:002014-02-18T17:20:16.928-07:00February week 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Stake Conference last Sunday, I sang in the choir, up on the stand for the whole 2 hours, and Jeremy bravely sat with all six kids. I enjoyed Stake Conference so much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I love Henry's red and white candy stripe jammies, too bad he has outgrown them. Henry is 5 1/2 months old. He has fuzzy hair and the cutest smile ever. Lydia described him as "a cute, fluffy puppy"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I sit in my rocking chair that is in my room to feed Henry. Matthew comes in and sits on the footstool, and gets his finger prints all over the mirror.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*I love the cute crafts that the kids make at school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*The girls went to play at a friends house and they came home with the most awesome face paint scenery that I have ever seen. Their friends will be greatly disappointed when they come to play at our house, I don't have great fun things that I do when friends come over - I just send everyone to the backyard and let them play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Becca had her 100 day at school. To celebrate they had to bring 100 small food items that could go in a class "trail mix". She brought Mike and Ike candies. Becca also decorated a tshirt to wear with 100 stickers. (Although the package said 100 stickers, I think there was only 98, I figured we were close enough and did not go back to the store to buy more.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had a multi ward Valentines Dance for the adults. Jeremy was in charge of the table decorations, which really meant that I was in charge of the decorations. Jeremy didn't know how much money he could spend, so I bought stuff at the dollar store to keep it thrifty. Thankfully the dollar store had some great stuff and I think we did a great job.</div>

Some weeks it seems like not much has happened, but taking time to capture the little moments reminds me that life is in the details. Like the pictures of Henry and Becca reading together. The look on his face as he adores her is priceless. As is the picture of Tom and Matthew eating breakfast together. These photos really highlight the relationship between siblings and how much the little ones look up to the big ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The picture of Tom doing a handstand on his bed is random. He came to me and said, "Hey mom, come take a picture" and then he did his trick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite moment from this week is Jeremy putting in the new furnace. We finally got all the step done, gas line in, gas line turned on, new furnace installed. Making fires in the fireplace was nice, but it didn't really heat the whole house. It is so nice to just set the thermostat and not worry about it and the house is warm. This process of putting in a new furnace has sure made me more grateful for things of convenience such as our furnace and everyday I am so grateful for it.</div>

Jeremy took Charlie and Becca and they went to St. George for a quick weekend trip. Jeremy and Char went skiing at Brianhead with Jeremy's brothers. Becca stayed in St George and played with some cousins. This was Charlie's first time snowboarding.</div>

February is here and it brought snow with it. I was starting to wonder if we were going to get anymore snow this winter. It came all day long on Friday, gently falling, softly, quietly. I love watching the snow fall. I even took a video of it. It's so calming and soothing. The kids had a great time playing in it on Saturday and luckily they took advantage of it, because by Saturday afternoon it had melted off and instead of a gorgeous white backyard, we had a lake of water.<br />
<br />
I loved watching the Winter Olympic opening ceremony. I served a mission in St. Petersburg Russia, so I feel a bit of a kinship towards Russia. I got my kids to watch part of the ceremony, but I was the only one to watch the whole thing. Watching the Olympics is a nostalgic thing for me because I remember watching them when I was a kid. It was a big deal because they didn't come on very often and when the Olympics came on there wasn't much else to watch, with only 3 stations to choose from. Even now, I would spend more time watching the events, but it doesn't seem like they put much of it on network tv, so disappointing. Ice skating is my favorite to watch.<br />

It's been a little bit more like winter around here. Just when I was getting used to the 40 degree weather it turned cold and despite the weather forecast saying it was supposed to warm up into at least the 30's during the day, the past two weeks have been much colder. Last week we had fog every day that left the trees frosted white. It was lovely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week the wind has been blowing and making it feel very chilly. Although this is our second winter in Idaho I still prefer the warmer winter days to the cold snowy ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been working on getting our furnace replaced, Jeremy has been doing it. Two weeks ago the gas company came and dug to put the gas line to our house. They had to dig up the bushes along the fence line, which we were very happy about because we didn't like those bushes and since they had a backhoe it was quick and easy for them to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's awesome to have a new furnace that works so well. The air pressure with our last furnace was poor and the upstairs bedrooms didn't warm up because the air barely trickled out the vent. It now blows out nicely through all the vents.</div>

Saturday the 25 was a busy Saturday. Charlie had robotic competition at the college all day long. His team did awesome and they got 2nd place, out of the 47 teams that competed.</div>

Tom had Pinewood Derby. He designed his car himself and did much of the work himself. He won first place in two of the rounds, but overall got 4th place.</div>

Life continues on at our house, even if I'm not taking time to share much here. After 3 and half months of quiet I am hoping to come back to semi regular posting.<br />
<br />
January has been a pleasant month. It started cold, and then a little snow came-that melted the next day, and then the weather turned rather warm, well winter-warm - in the 40's. It was warm enough that the kids started dressing in shorts and I had to remind them to take a jacket with them.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the month we went to Sun Valley and went ice skating. The kids were awesome skaters, even though that was their first time on ice.<br />
Tom and Charlie have been reading like crazy in the Harry Potter series. Long ago I bought the first five books of the series, but a couple weeks ago had to buy the last 2 books so my little book worms would have them to read. It's amazing to watch them read through such large books - 700 +pages. At school they earn points for reading books and they both have read double the amount of the other kids in their classes.<br />
<br />
Henry is so cute. I don't know that any other word can sum it up - CUTE! He is a smiler and smiles all the time. He loves being held, and if he is put down he prefers his bouncer that he is upright in.<br />
<br />
Matthew had a birthday and is now 2 years old. He loved blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.<br />
<br />
I got a little behind in my project life scrapbook pages, so I haven't printed last years book yet. I'm trying to hurry and finish because I'm excited to look through it and relive last year and read and remember all the little things that elude my memory.<br />
<br />
I'm wanting to not get behind in this years project life documentation, so I do "this week's pages" and then do ones from last year that I am missing as I can. That is one reason it is taking me so long to finish last year. It's definitely better to stay current, and, or, keep better notes. November and December's pages aren't going to have as much detail because I didn't keep notes and I don't remember much of the little details.`<br />

So I'm still loving keeping up with my weekly project life pages. It's fun to reflect back on the week and remember what we've done and I love figuring out how I want to design and display the photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing that this project does for me is give structure and definition to getting our life documented regularly. It's so exciting to me that I have this whole year in photos and words documented. I've scrapbooked for years, yet have not much to show for it. I've even had a blog for years and at times have kept up regularly with it, but mostly have been sporadic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project has helped me be successful for the first time ever in doing something regularly and have it in a format that my kids have access to look at it - ie. in a book that is on the shelf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Details from this week:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>We went to to the South Hills and roasted hot dogs and smores</li>
<li>I love taking pictures of sweet baby Henry. He still sleeps most of the time. He is the sleepiest baby.</li>
<li>Last week I did really good eating lots of fruits and vegetables and lost 5 pounds (this week I have not done well and have not lost a pound).</li>
<li>Cousin Carter was in town for a job his company is doing. He lives in St George so we don't get to see him much. Jeremy picked him up from the hotel he's staying at and he had dinner with us. It was particularly great to get to spend time with him because he leaves for his mission in a few weeks and we won't get to see him before he leaves.</li>
<li>Becca had her first spelling test and got 100%</li>
<li>I love the photo of Matthew in the clown wig, the girls dressed him up</li>
</ul>

Jeremy had the week off and was able to help out with the kids and around the house as I continued to rest and recover from having a baby and from taking care of a new baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jeremy took the boys camping to the South Hills and they had a great time bike riding and 4 wheeling in the hills (wish we could say mountains, but hills are the best that we have around here).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Henry had to be on a bili rubin blanket for a few days to get his jaundice to go away. Because of the cover on the light pad it made him glow green.</div>

Lydia has afternoon kindergarten and Jeremy was able to take Lydia for her first day of school. They line up outside the building by the door that goes into their classroom. She only wanted us to wait with her the first few days of school and now she is fine to go by herself.<br />

I've been loving the "clean design" look lately and kept it minimalist with mostly white, words and pictures. It doesn't take any less time for me to do this style, it seems like it should be less time consuming, but somehow it still takes just as long as when I use different papers and embellishments.<br />

He's already 2 weeks old and growing so big - he's gained a pound and half since birth and is almost 9 pounds now.<br />
He's not sleeping so well at night - he's sleeps great all day long, just not at night, so therefore I'm not sleeping much either.<br />

And from the rest of that week. Two days before Henry was born was Lyida's 5th birthday. Lydia and Henry are the only ones in our family to share a birthday month. The other 6 of us (parents included) each have our own birth month. If Henry would have held out for a few more days his due date was in September, but he was too eager to get here and came early. </div>

I think partly I overlooked it because it took me until Tuesday to finish, usually I'm done by Sunday or sooner. It's funny that some weeks I've hardly taken a photo at all and think that I'll do just one page for the week, but by the weekend I have so many photos that I'm cramming them in.<br />
<br />
Over all it really was a slow week and we didn't do anything until Saturday when I took the kids shopping for school clothes. Other than that it was just around the house, goofing off type of photos and memories, which are the easy kind to overlook and forget about. That is what I love about doing this project is remembering to pay attention to the small stuff.<br />

Because my 2012 photo book through My Publisher turned out so well I am going to make more photo books for previous years, but I still love making scrapbook pages so I'm just going to pick random stuff here and there, not do a whole years worth.<br>
<br>
Today I went to the 2009 photo bin to find some pictures to do and picked photos from the day we went to Marco Island. It was a great outing with tons of pictures, but I just picked a few highlights.<br>
<br>
I miss going for family bike rides. Right now I am way too pregnant to even think about getting on a bike. But also there aren't great places here to bike ride. I wish they had a trail system like St. George has. There are some in Sun Valley, but that is almost 2 hours away.<br>
<br>
Also, we are really missing the beach. Jeremy still thinks that someday he would like to move back by a beach.<br>
<br>
I love how this layout turned out. It started completely different than this with a different color scheme and I just wasn't loving it. So I picked out different papers and started over. So glad I did that. I love when I get done and am just in love with how the finished page looks. This is why I do scrapbooking - I love to see what I come up with and how the finished project looks. It really fills my creative cup. This is the only day this week I've sat at my computer and I've really missed it.<br>

I'm still in love with this new way of memory keeping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed and already received back the 12x12 pages I made for the first half of this year. I printed them with Persnickety Prints and am so pleased with how well they printed and with the cost and speed of that company. Their 12x12 prints are $2, Costco and most other places are $3 and more. I had 30 pages to print out so I was looking for the best deal. I uploaded them last Friday and by 2 hours later received and email saying they were done and ready to ship. I received them Monday in the mail. They are now in the photo book and the kids are enjoying looking at it.</div>

Last week I spent much time putting together a photo book through My Publisher and finished today and sent it to print. It was a 100 page book with over 400 pictures.<br />

I had a coupon for $35 for the full 100 page book, which without the coupon would have cost over $120. Apparently My Publisher puts out that coupon from time to time.<br />

Here are a couple sample pages:<br />

It was a lot of work to hurry and put a whole year's worth of pictures together and I was so glad to be done with the project. I don't get as much enjoyment out of putting that type of book together as I do out of making scrapbook pages, but I am not going to go back and scrapbook previous years, just get them into photo books like I did for 2012. In fact, most years prior to 2012 probably aren't even going to get much in the way of words, it takes too much brain power trying to remember the past.</div>

I left a journaling spot that I will fill in after tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I think these pages are some of my favorite I've made yet. Not only do I love the design and combinations I came up with, but I was much more thoughtful in my words and memories. I wrote a letter to my children and paid compliments to them, such as in the "surprise of the week" I added.<br />
<br />
I keep notes on my iphone in a notebook app and try to at least every night type something up for the day. This is the only way I am able to remember much and get it all together at the end of the week. Without writing it down daily I wouldn't remember hardly a thing. In fact as I was reading back over this weeks stuff I remember thinking, "oh, I forgot about that" and it's only been mere days since these things have happened.<br />
<br />
Up till now I hadn't decided if I was going to print these as I go or wait until the end of the year to print it into a bound book. I think I have decided to print as I go so the children can look at these often, not only to see the pictures, but also to read the words. This is why I was glad I came up with more thoughtful things to put in there this week. I think it is good for kids to see and hear the positive things we think about them. Especially because it seems like I spend too much time getting after them and saying negative things out of frustration.<br />
<br />
<br />
yes I am pregnant, 32 weeks along, due at the beginning of September and it is a boy.<br />

The main thing I remember about May is our trip we took to Utah to Pine Valley. The other thing we had pictures of was roasting marshmallows in our backyard on our fire pit. I used to wonder why people made such a fuss about having a fire pit in their yard. Well now I know because we love using ours. Recently it feels too hot to want to build a fire, and it stays light until 10 pm so we don't really want to stay up forever late. May was the perfect month for the fire pit because the evenings were still chilly and it felt nice to have the fire.<br />
