New arrivals

Our first new arrival came on Christmas day. Chase and I have been wanting a pet since we got married so for Christmas he got me my Nutmeg. She is adorable but very active and squirmy, she loves peanuts and running on the wheel in her cage but her favorite thing is when we let her run around the house in her ball.


She lets us hold her but she doesn't hold still very well.

Chase's family had Christmas on Monday morning because his dad had to work Friday. So Chase got his new arival when we came up for his families Christmas. He loves piano but since a real piano would be much to expensive right now and inconvenient to move around I got him the keyboard he wanted. I love hearing the music in our home.

Christmas Cheer

Chase and I were looking for ideas to help us teach our 10 year olds about Christmas. It was getting pretty late when we stumbled upon this families re-enactment of the Nativity. We enjoyed it though, if you're in the mood for some Christmas fun take a minute to watch.

Wilkins Family

Last weekend Chase and I got to go to Showlow and spend a few nights at the Hampton with the rest of Chase's family. We all had a wonderful time bowling, swimming, shopping and just spending time together. It has been their family tradition for a few years, for me (Heather) it was a first and I absolutely loved it. Friday morning aunt Carla came to the hotel to take some family photos. I love being part of this family!!

Four month update... way overdue!

Yesterday was our four month anniversary! According to our blog you'd think we dropped off the planet since then. For some reason I feel like we need to have pictures of everything or there’s no point in blogging about it… we need to get a camera. Anyway, we're still here. We moved into our little yellow "cottage" (as I like to call it) just after we got hitched. These last few months have been extremely busy, but also very happy ones. From near death experiences with scorpions (...at least I thought I was going to die, apparently that was highly unlikely) to building forts in the living room, to waking up to breakfast with my hubby, I wouldn't trade one moment for the world.
Ok, now for the update… Chase and I are both going to school full time, Chase is also working almost a full schedule at the Blake Foundation and I still work at the EAC Library. We both enjoy what we are doing however we don’t get much free time. The time we do have together is usually spent playing tennis, cooking, reading, or babysitting our favorite two year old, Jason, for Chase’s cousin.

Chase and I February














These are some of my favorite pictures of Chase and I just being together. They were taken about a month after we got engaged but I'm just barley getting around to posting them. :)

Family Photo


This picture was taken at General Conference in April of Chase and Heather with her family. We're only missing one person. But Ryan will be home from Brazil soon, (July 2) less than a month in fact!
