Professional Engineer

Jon took his Professional Engineer test in October after 2 months of round the clock studying (or at least it seemed like it). Well we just found out tonight that he passed it!!! He was headed to a church meeting when I was checking email and saw the results were in. I called him to see if he wanted to wait and be here or if he wanted me to open it. He said "OPEN IT!!!" So I had to click on the link, sign in, push the button to have the results emailed to us, wait for the email, open the email and then open the attachment. He said "Are you working on it?" Finally we got to the page that said CONGRATULATIONS you passed. What a great day for our family. He has been working towards this for a long time. Great job Jon!

Four wheelin

Carter was kind enough to bring Hannah for a ride on his four wheeler the other day. She doesn't look like she was enjoying it but anytime I have him stop to straighten her up or see if she wanted to get off she held on with all she could. She loved it.

Temple trip

Cater went one a temple trip with his Primary group a couple of weeks ago. He heard we were going there and he asked if it was because he was going to marry me. I told him that I was already married to Daddy. He didn't like that but he went anyways.

Thanksgiving crafts

These crafts have been made by Carter at his preschool and at his speech class. he has on an Indian vest, a turkey placemat, a turkey centerpiece and a pilgram hat.

Christmas decorations

These pictures are for everyone but have been requested by Grandma and Grandpa at the farm.

Family picture shoot

We tried a new place (for us) this year for family pictures. They were alright. The kids did great and Jon stayed happy even though I unknowingly scheduled the appointment during both the USC game and the BYU game. What a great husband. Well most of you will be getting one or some of these in the upcoming months. Enjoy the movie.

Testimony

On this past Sunday the councilor conducting the meeting said that it was time for those who wanted to share their testimony to come forward. Carter said to Jon, "Daddy it is your turn because you have a testimony." So Jon decided that if there was a break then he would go up on the stand. (I was out in the foyer with Hannah because she was being a royal pain) So a break never came but Jon asked Carter what he would say if he was to go up and bear his testimony. Carter didn't really know so they talked about it a little bit. Well Monday on the way home from work I asked Carter if I had a testimony and he said no. Then I asked him if he had a testimony and he said no. So I asked if Daddy had a testimony and he said yes. When I asked him how did he know that he said...
"You said Daddy couldn't play with me because he was studying for his testimony."
Well Jon has been studying for the past 2 months for his Professional Engineer test. I guess test and testimony just sound too closely to the same thing for a 4 year old. I guess I know what next weeks Family Home Evening is going to be on.

Jon has taken his test last week and now we wait for 8-12 weeks for the results. We will be sure to share the news when he passes (trying to be optimistic)
