Well some of you asked me to post about my school classes. So here I go. This quarter I am taking Math, which I had to starte at the bottom of the chain because it has been five years since I have taken a math class and I have forgotten so much of it. So that is going well. I have about 8 classmates, we watch out instructor live on TV. Its not that bad. Then I have a Music appreciation class. This is fun, I geth to learn about the different eras and such.This class meets two times a week for a lecture, then I do all of my assignments online. Next is a computer skills class. I always used to type like a chicken pecks, so I thought that it would be good if I did better at that, it is also a class that teaches you the correct form to write a letter, and also teaches you how to use power point, excel, ect. My problem is that this is a work at your own pace class. So I do and that meanas I am currently about a week behind. :) And yes I am typing this post the "correct" way.
I just registered for my classes today for spring quarter. I am signed up for math, geography, and phisics (which I am dropping tomorrow and taking something else, I don't know what yet but something else).
So I like being back in school, it is different then I remember. There are so many people going back to school because of being laid off of work. But it's good. In the end I have about 3 years of school and I should walk away with my degree in Dental Hygene.

Some random pictures from my phone
ok so this is a picture of Kristens foot about a year 1/2 ago. She takes after my side of the family (the Frosts). I have the same feet only I did not think you wanted to see a picture of my foot, so here is a cute foot and they still look like that just so pudgy anymore. :(
When we liked in Missouri we got a puppy. We named him Gordon. He was a cute little puppy, the girls loved him. We had him for about 2 weeks and decided we could not have a puppy because he was a hug handful and also our landlord did not like pets in our rental which we did not know about.

Oh My!
So last night I went with Nancy on her date, I was the chaperon. I did not want to be the third wheel so I brought Baili my 4 year old with me. She was excited to come as I was to have her with me. Well we went and had Pizza for dinner at the pizza joint, when we were all done Nancy's date Joseph gathered up our trash and went to throw it away, as soon as he was out of ear shot Baili turns to me and whispers "Mom I think he is cute, but I do not like his pants." I was cool and said "oh yeah you think so huh?" I really wanted to scream because my 4 year old is already telling me she thinks a BOY is CUTE. Holy smokes I wonder what she is going to be like when she is 14 or 16 ahhhhhhh. Anyways I did think that it was funny, and I still do, it was pretty random. Where did the comment of not liking his pants come from, she must be very fashionable, though he only had on a pair of jeans, nothing fancy. I think that if he had on a dress she would have told me he was stylin, because that's all she wants to wear.

A RECIPE!
OK so I have made this 5 times in a month. It is so delicious, and super easy to make.
Focaccia ( did I spell that right?)Italian Bread
3 1/2 cups Flour
1 Envelope of Yeast, or 2 1/4 teaspoons
1 Tablespoon of Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1/4 cup olive Oil
1 2/3 cups very warm water
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese, I like it fresh grated
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Mix together flour, yeast, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons oil, water. Spray bottom of 9x13 pan and spread the dough in it. Let is rise for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes take the end of a plastic spoon or something and poke holes in the dough. Then drizzle the rest of the oil over the dough, sprinkle the Italian seasoning, and the cheese, let rise 15 more minutes while you preheat the oven to 375. Bake for 30 minutes. YUMMMM! Serve with pasta or whatever. Let me know what you think. Again this is so easy to make. Try it.

Fair warning
OK so we are BACK!! We rolled in last Sunday and have settled in. I think. We are house sitting for Jonas' mom and step dad for the winter while they go to Phoenix. They will not leave until the the day after Thanksgiving. So we are having lots of fun sharing their space with them.
Here is the fair warning, I have about a million pictures and stories to post. I will post them as soon as I can but I will also only post a couple at a time, to give you a chance to read them. Here are some topics I will be posting about... Before and after pics of our house in MO, our trip over (which includes like 4 days of activities), Baili's 4Th birthday, and Halloween. It may not seem like much, but it is a lot for me all things considered. Don't miss out, you never know when this will happen again.

still not pictures
OK so I still do not have pictures but here is the latest...
Baili had her primary program on Sunday and she did great! Her line was "I love to hear the stories of Jesus in Primary and in Family Home Evening, they help me choose the right." She said it loud and clear. She even did pretty good at singing the songs, though most of the time when they all stood to sing she would stand up (she was in the front) and then she would turn around and watch everyone else sing. I think she was really enjoying the show. I think that maybe she was mouthing the words "LOUDER" to the other kids so everyone could hear. It wouldn't be to far fetched for her to do that. But she did great and she was a doll. Jonas' grandma came to visit for the occasion and I think she have a good time. We shower her around the place and took her out for frozen custard which I think was her favorite. :)
The house is coming right along. We are done painting and we are now working on getting our hardwood floors prepped for sanding and staining. We think it will be about 3 more weeks before we are ready to put it on the market. Wish us luck!

no pics but lots going on
OK, so first off would everyone just get off my back about not posting for forever!!! Just kidding. I know it has been ages. Sorry. I have had a lot going on, plus I do not have Internet at home so I have to go to the library to do anything, that stinks. So I have no pictures to post today but I thought at least I should post something. So here it goes.
Well ion the beginning of August we bought a house. It was a foreclosure and all it needed was some TLC. So we have been in the process of doing that this whole month in preparation for us to move into it the first of Sept. I will post before and after pictures when I am able to do that. Also this month Jonas' mom and grandson came to visit. They were here for 3 weeks. It was great having them here. Her grandson helped Jonas out a tone with the house, and seemed to have a good time here. While they were here for the 3 weeks I left for one of those weeks to my Siblings reunion. that's right all 10 TEN of us kids plus my mom and dad got together and spent 4 days having a blast and laughing a ton. We tie died shirts went to Lagoon had BBQ went to the temple, took a ton of pictures, and again had a blast.
So that's what has been going on there. While I was at my reunion I stayed a few extra days and spent some time with my Best friend Dedra Tregaskis (I hope I spelled that right) and we went shopping and I played with here beautiful baby Abby. She is a sweetheart for sure. She also introduced my to cake decorating. I have decided to pick up the hobby, and have also decided to start out small and work my way up to cakes. So I got a book )well I should say Jonas got me a book) and my first project was ice-cream cone cup cakes. I made them and then decorated the with a homemade butterfly. Again pictures to come. But it was a success and I loved doing it, so now you know what my new hobby is. I am excited!!!
That is all I have time to write now, but hopefully soon I will write again. Don't give up on me. I will be back.

Seattle to Portland
Well he did it! Jonas successfully finished the 204 mile Seattle to Portland bicycle ride. He has been training for this over the last year or so, every week he would ride at least 100 miles. Then the last 3 weeks he rode 500 miles in preparation for the ride. He left last Thursday evening and stayed in Seattle with his sister Aimee ( hi Aimee) and then got up Saturday morning early and started out with his best friend Wes Perez and 4 other guy friends. On the first day they went 130 miles. Stooped and stayed the night and then did the remaining 75 miles on Sunday. They were done by early afternoon and crashed in bed for the rest of the day and night. He is pretty Amazing, you can say it. I have to say he got a lot of weird looks from people there, questioning looks. But he sure did prove them wrong. There were 9,000 riders that day, Jonas among them. I am so proud of him! I love you Jonas!

In my pocket
We were all watching a movie the other day when Baili stood up from the floor (she had on some sweat pants with no pockets) and said "oh oops I forgot I have "somesing" in my pocket. I said what is it? and she says "in my pocket I have a SPANKEN for daddy" then she walked over to him and spanked him. The she Say "oh yeah and in my other pocket I have a spanken for mommy, and then she came and spanked me. Oh is was so funny and so random. This is not a practice we do in out family.

Baili was supposed to be taking a nap, but did not was to sleep in her bed, she made her own bed and don 't ask me why she thought this would be comfortable but here she is sleeping her heart out and she slept about 3 hours there. Longest nap in forever! She must take after her dad, because he would much rather the floor then the bed. She is funny, but she is also so smart. She knows the letter "B" for Baili of course and she is learning "J" for Jonas and so forth, she will find the letter in the billboards and the store signs while we are driving, she also has very good eyesight because she can spot those letters a mile away.

way too long
First off I have not fell off of the face of the earth. I have been busy moving into a new house and then unpacking and then kids and then Jonas and then everything it seems, that and I do not have Internet access at my house so I have to check my e-mail here or there and just have not had the time to post I am so sorry. So here you go these are pictures of my garden!!! Yay! Today I went lout and planted all of the plants and everything, but these are my welcoming hands first, they were given to Jonas and I as a wedding gift from his sister Aimee (Love you Aim!) and unfortunately my older daughter Baili pulled them down from a shelf and the broke in 2. Well we had every intention to glue them back but never came to it and kept them for a whole year before Ding! and idea came to mind to put them in my garden, so I dug a spot in the ground for them, and I must say they are ever so welcoming, there forever Will they stay! Below you will see the "Garden House" which is a half storage shed for the tools and then like a little club house for the younger kids to play in and then also a shelter for those spontaneous rain showers we here here. Then you Will see my bench with its Solar lights on either side and in front of that is my garden plot! Isn't it lovely!? So that is my garden and I love it and I am excited about it! I also included a fire pit with 10 lawn chairs to sit around it and a fine bird bath, and bird feeder. I will post more pictures and the season progresses.

can you guess?
So this is a picture off the the brochure of the company Jonas works for. Can anyone guess what it is of? It is a picture of my Garden plot. This plot is big enough to build 2 houses on it, so let me just tell you that my garden does not take up this whole plot. I will be using the bottom 1/4 of it all the way across. That will be my garden. I cannot seem to find my pictures I have taken of my garden up to this point, they are somewhere on my computer and I will have to have Jonas find them for me, so for now this should give you an idea. It will also hopefully keep you in anticipation!

Garden
Well I have been working on starting a garden this spring for about 4 months now. I was asked my the company that Jonas works for to plan and carry out a Community Garden. I was excited to be able to do this, but also keep in mind I have never had my own garden or anything like it. I also never keep plants in my house because I kill them all. So anyways this has been so fun for me, I have a little green house in my kitchen with my early starter plants in them, and then on the garden plot that I designed I have a little garden house being built for storage of tools and then also a small section closed off with a porch for the kids to play at. My garden is huge! It will be 2 20x20 ft plots. I am growing (to list a few) corn, peas, green beans, cucumber, peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, strawberries, raspberries. That is not all of them, but I cannot remember them all off the top of my head. I will post some pictures later of my progress. Keep looking throughout the summer for more pictures!

I'm not your cupcake
So the other day, well it has been more like 2 weeks but I still think about it everyday, Jonas was palying with the kids. He said oh my baby Kristen I remember when she was a baby and I would blow in her face and she would laugh and smile and take in a deep breath, I wonder if she would still do that. So he blew in her face and she just laughed but that was good enough for him. Then he said my Baili, I remember when she was a baby and I would blow in her face and it would make her soooo mad! I wonder if she would still get mad, so he blew in her face. She said..."Don't flow on me, I'm not your cupcake." word for word, and no that is not a typo on the word flow, she really said that. She says some funny things.

Easter egg hunt
The Easter egg hunt was today in town at the park. We went to it and had a blast. Here are some pictures, well only 2. Enjoy. This is who we call "Baby Jonas" He is not ours to claim though. Jonas has a really good friend (also his co-worker) who he and his wife decided to name their son after my husband. So this is him, he is just so cute and is very social and lovable. I just thought you would like to see him, he was also at the Easter egg hunt
