Its about time!!

So i know, its been awhile. I have learned that I am a horrible blogger. If blogging is anything like journal writing its only a matter of time before I forget that I even have a blog. In fact, in my journal I think Ty is still known as "this one guy in my ward". Anywho, what's been going on with us the King fam. Well after my last post Ty and I went to Mandi and Chads wonderful wedding. It was such an awesome experience. With so many people I know that are getting divorced (such a sad world) it was so refreshing to see such love between two people. Ty and I were talking and I said I get so happy at weddings that I just cry, maybe more than the bride, just because of how sweet the spirit is. Plus it makes me think of when Ty and I got married and it just makes me so happy to think people in my life are going to be as happy as I am now that they found their favorite buddy too! We stayed at my sister Nickie and Jordans house and had fun with the kids. Ty is the fav though because he has Nerf guns. Here are some pics of the kids and the infamous Nerf guns.

Parker and Zach and the beginning of the HUGE Nerf mess.

This one is a little blurry but this is Zach and the BIG automatic Nerf gun


After that i got sick, AGAIN!!!! I know, what the crap!!! This time I was hacking up a lung and all sorts of goop, and then I lost my voice, completely. Luckily though we were laying tile in our kitchen and guest bathroom so my spirits were kept high. Man was tile laying hard work. Neither Ty and I had done that before so we didnt quite know what we were getting into. I LOVED it, Ty, not so much. But its ok, he was such a trooper. We had uncle Pete there to instruct us and basically do all the hard work, so a BIG thanks to him!! Here are a few pics of us laying tile and the finished product.


Ty cutting the nasty linoleum before we started tearing it out. Holy crap, this was the HARDEST part, it took HOURS to get the old floor out.




This is the MESS we had to live with all weekend. It was so annoying!!


Good ol' Peter. What a champ! It was his fall break and he spent it with us instead of his family :(


Grouting. This is almost the finished project. I just realized this is the picture that had the closest final result

Lets see... What happened after that. Well I will just start with this past weekend. Ty has had like 3 or 4 midterms this past weekend so sadly, he was studying and I was trying hard to let him study. I just want to hang out all the time, he is just so fun so its lame when he has to study a lot. Anyway so I think Friday night, he studied and I dont even know what I did. Saturday we had a busy day. We slept in til 8 and made breakfast (which was pretty nasty). Then we met Nickie, Jordan and the kids at Brick Oven. It was Zach's birthday so he invited us to come along. Then after we ate we went to the one and only Chuckie Cheese!!! I had never been there before and let me tell you... I had dreamed of this moment as a child and I FINALLY checked it off my list. For the fact that I hate video games, nasty dirty places where parents let there children run wild and sneeze and cough all over everything; I was pleasantly suprised. It wasn't as ghetto as I imagined. We won a few tickets for the kids and played a few games and had a fun time.

My cute sister and niece Lauren. Lauren ate the most out of all of us i think. What a cutie!!
Ty, Parker, Jordan chowing down on lunch
The Birthday boy at awesome Chuckie Cheese. He had so much fun! It was so funny to watch them playing around like this was the best thing since mac and cheese.
Where a kid can be a kid... that includes grown-ups too i guess!






















That night Ty and I went to our wards Halloween Party. Once again, pleasantly suprised. It wasnt advertised a lot at church so we thought no one would show up. But there were TONS of people and good food and awesome costumes. Ty and I threw something together really quick; he was a fighter pilot (his go-to costume for the past 7 years) and I wore a poodle skirt and a scarf. It was pretty fun. Sunday was a big day for me, well during church anyway. It was our anual Primary Program, where every child dreads and every parent proud. Well since the day i was called as Primary Pres I was nervous for this moment. We only have a nursery and a few sunbeams so I knew the kids would really be a part of the program like a regular family ward is. Us as a presidency spoke and we had the children sing I am a Child of God with their parents and another musical number from two ladies from the ward. It actually turned out really well and we didn't run out of time and all the parents and children came up to sing and it all just turned out really great!! I love the Primary. I am so glad I have this calling!!
