The Hill Family

We didn't do anything special on Halloween day, but the Monday before Halloween we went to dad's house and carved pumpkins! It was a lot of fun to do this with all the kiddos! I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

I know, I know, I have been really horrible at updating my blog since I moved to Texas. I hope you all haven't totally given up on me! Here is what we've been up to over the last couple of months. I suppose it's better late than never to post pictures! Nathan and Natalie's 16th Birthday It was a whole weekend of celebrating! Day 1 of the Celebration: Birthday Party with Friends Lynsi and I threw Nathan and Natalie their Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party! There was plenty of food and cake, plus a video scavenger hunt and a movie to finish off the night. All of their friends came and they all had a great time celebrating! Day 2 of the Celebration: Family Party at Aunt Gayle's House We got together and had a family dinner for their birthday and more cake! Nathan and Natalie opened up their presents from all of us this night. Day 3 of the Celebration: Birthday Dinner at Chey's T he whole family went out for a birthday dinner! This is when dad gave Nathan and Natalie ...

We are here and we are settled... mostly. It has been so awesome living in Texas and being close to friends and family. We have both been working hard and playing hard. Most of our free weekends have been spent at THE LAKE. This is such a fun get away and an awesome place to relax and have a good time! This is Jason's office. He wakes up at 8:45 and is working by 9:00 a.m. Jason was able to keep his job from Utah and is now working from home! He does all kinds of web updates and things on the computer, so he is able to do his work from out of state. Since he is such an amazing employee, they didn't want to see him go, so now he contacts his co-workers by e-mail or phone. We feel so blessed that he was able to keep his job, especially in this economy! When we first moved out here, Walt was able to take Jason on a flight. They flew from Arlington to Addison and passed over Lovefield Airport. It was really fun for Jason to spend time with him in an airplane doing was...

It's official! Jason and I are moving to TEXAS! Most of you already know, but this is my official announcement to all of our friends and family that we are moving! I'm really excited about this move and the opportunity to be closer to my dad and siblings. I know we're leaving Josh and Sharon, but they wont be too far behind us in moving down there. I'm really excited to be more apart of Nathan and Natalie's lives. I'm SOOO excited to go to Nate's football games and Natalie's drill team performances and choir concerts. I've been gone for 7 years and it's time for me to be back and be more involved! Plus Lynsi and I will be able to share clothes again! :) I realize we are moving down at the hottest time of the year, but I will be thrilled when it's snowing in Utah around Halloween and we're still wearing t-shirts! However, I will miss Utah . Utah is a beautiful place to live and I will miss all of my family and friends here. ...

Nathan and Natalie came in town this weekend and we headed to Tremonton for the 4th of July. We had a lot of fun hanging out with family and relaxing! SISTERS! We went to dinner with Jacki and MaCade and then we went to the fireworks show in Logan. Hangin out waiting for the fireworks to start. It was really cold outside so we had on our jackets and a blanket. Crazy that it was cold in JULY!

Last weekend Jason and I were able to go and visit our Nephews & Rex & Shauna in Nevada! They live on a ranch where the nearest walmart is about an hour drive. It is beautiful out there and very peaceful. It is definitely a change from being in the city. We love going to visit them and enjoyed our time there! Montel is such a sweetheart and is getting so BIG! Everett is so hilarious and very entertaining! He is at that age when he says the darndest things and you wonder, where did he get that from? Some of his favorite phrases while we were there were, "Holy Cow", "Do you wanna build a road?" (we built a road with his blocks that he could drive his tractors on), "Where's Jason?" (anytime Jason left the room, he wanted to know where he went), "Lets watch Bolt!" (that is his favorite movie right now). We had so much fun and miss all of them already! MONTEL Can you say cute or what!! He is such a happy baby! EVERETT He is such a ...

Last week the Dr. I work for took all of the staff to Color Me Mine. It's a really fun place where you can pick a piece of pottery and paint it any way you want. Once you finish painting, they put it in the kiln to fire it and make it have a polished look. Here is my masterpiece! It's a fun shaped bowl that I thought would be cute to put salsa or dips in. I will probably use it for cereal too. :)
