Our Mountain Continues.....

Ok, like I said, we have pix of the mountain that is arising in our back yard! It looking so neat and really taking shape. I am getting carried away thinking about the plant life I will be able to put here there and everywhere! :) Chet may look back at this later and wish he might not have gotten this whole thing rolling. As I spaend all of our spare change, and then some. Just kidding......sort of. Anyway, here are a couple of the pix we have so far. They will be working more on it tomorrw and Tuesday, so I will update more either when it is done or when it looks so cool I can't contain myself anymore. Love you all tons! Jana

P.S The first 2 are the befores, the last 2 are the work in progress before it got dark. Even though they worked on into the night. They worked until like 11 pm so it looks even more different now than it did then. Guess you will have to come back l8r if you want to see more. HAHA now I am just teasing you. There will for sure be more.

Our own piece of the mountain!

Hey all, Just another Parker family update! Not that you really need one, but here goes anyway.

I think that you all need to come to my house and see what we have been doing in our back yard! ( by we I mean Chet and his brother Rick. I am just a sideline supervisor )

For real though, we are building our own MOUNTAIN!!!! It is so cool! I will post some pix as we get farther into it. It should be finished some time in the beginning of next week.

We have been planning on doing this since we very first moved in. I couldn't picture what it was going to look like at first so I just had to trust that Chet knew what he was doing. But now it is looking SO neat! Megan is going to have her very OWN ledge. I am not sure exactly what that means but she will have one.

Anyway, I am just a little excited! I will update as new things come up. :)

Hey! Happy 19th to the Parkers!!! It is a big deal and we're very happy for you! We love you all. And, please notice, it isn't just the Parker blog!
We got more than 1 1/2 inches of rain this last week! That's pretty huge for St. George! We don't really have a whole lot of news from here, but we do love you all!

19 years!

Hey everybody!
I don't want this to be the Parker blog, but here I just wanted to say hey.
Chet and I celebrated our 19th anniversary today! wahoo! No really! That is a really exciting thing to me! Especially for us to still really like each other! We are really looking forward to the rest of forever together! We went out on Saturday to Costa Vida's in Ogden. There is an indoor surfing place right next door, so you can eat in the restaurant and be entertained by the surfers next door at the same time. It is really a good time. At least for my family it is. Then we went in and wondered around Fat Cats arcade for a while before we went home. Fairly uneventful but a good time just to be together. We had to go on Saturday because Chet's work schedule has been a little crazy as of late. Anyway, I guess that's all for now. Now it is someone elses turn to make a post, before I make another one.
Love you all have a wonderful week. Jana & Chet

Hi everyone! We finally got on! Sorry it took us so long! I don't know how to get back on next time, so somebody will have to tell me that. Dad's last blood count was up to 11. His doctor thought she was going to have to put him back in the hospital and start that all over, but he surprised her! That's a good thing!
My work is keeping me very busy and I'm going to learn how to do Reiki, so we'll see how that goes. If you have questions about it, look it up on Google. It will explain it lots better than I can. I don't know why, but I know I need to do this, if only for my own health and for Dad. I can't help but think there's more to it than that, but I'm feeling my way one step at a time.
It was our Relief Society enrichment night tonight and I had a gal come and teach the sisters Edgu. It's a form of exercise you do to music and guided imagery. It's more like a dance and is very gentle and non-impact. It helps align the spine and increase mobility and anyone can do it, old and young, even pregnant. It was fun. Well, it's late and I got up at 5 the last 2 mornings, so will sign off for now. Hope you get this! Love, Mom

Hey everybody lookie!

Hey everyone look at this! This is Megan's Homecoming dance pix. Notice how she is the ONLY one without bare shoulders! Not sure if she was happy about that, but she did it anyway. She is getting so grown up I can hardly stand it! Oh well! I am still having fun with it! (at least MOST of it. ) :)

Hi Family,

NOt to much new here. Just an update on our week end. Megan's homecoming went well. She didn't go with a date, as she both didn't get asked, and she is not 16 yet. She did have a bunch of friends that all went together. Some of them were couples but on the whole they were just a great big group. She did buy a group pix, so when that comes I will scan it and post it so you all can see, her goofy group that I love.
Ford is working hard on his part in the play, and is getting a good work out by learning dances and moving sets around. I think this is really good for him though.

We got to go to one of the most awesome Sacrament meetings EVER on Sunday. Chris worked his magic yet again, and had an orchestra preform for the whole meeting (except the 2 very short talks) One the the orchestra members is a girl from our ward that has just started college, and was offered the opportunity to play with Chris' group and had a wonderful time! It really was one of the best meetings I have ever been to! Kudos again to Chris, and also to Christi for supporting and encouraging him. Anyway, I guess for now that's all. So I will Blog again soon. Love you all Jana
