Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010

PRE-CHRISTMAS

Dec. 16th Troy graduated from nursing school! he's relieved and i'm proud.
Troy,
I think your the best! thanks for working so hard for two straight years to accomplish this for our family. thanks for going on no sleep so you could work a full time job and go to school your 1st semester. thank you for taking care of a bedridden sick pregnant wife and managing to fit in study sessions during your 2nd and 3rd semesters. thanks for managing to be a great dad, student, husband, diaper changer, and foot massager throughout your 4th semester. i'm a lucky wife because your a hard working husband. youda best!
Whitney

The day after graduation we had the Lunt family Christmas party. all the grandkids acted out the nativity and evie was a sweet sweet angel. if by sweet you mean super tired and wiggly.

this was our best family christmas picture, doesn't Troy look great?

Don't worry, me and Evie made it up to you by taking this picture.



The week before Christmas we got to go up and visit Justin and Elissa in Cedar city. We got to see beautiful Christmas time in Utah, and they introduced us to wingers. A restaurant that I can now say is on troy's top five. That's impressive, he likes a lot of food and he's got a lot of fav's. Lissa and I sewed aprons, Troy and Justin saw Tron, we all played games and Evie loved hangin out with uncle justin and aunt lissa.



Their both shouting "TRON!", if you can't tell








CHRISTMAS DAY 2010
We had Christmas at my parent's house for the last time. We loved the food, presents, games, Christmas devotional, and all the cousin luvs. I Love my family!

POST CHRISTMAS/ NEW YEAR

On the 29th of Dec. it was Troy's birthday. It also happened to be the same day as my grandma's funeral so we didn't get the chance to celebrate it like usual but he still got some cake, candles, and ice cream.

and now it's 2011 so far Evie's pulled herself up


and went to costco

October...November...and first of December

We have moved from Thatcher but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Every Monday through Wednesday Troy goes back for class, and then comes down here (Gilbert) for clinicals Thursday-Saturday. Meaning, for the last 6 weeks Evie and I have been getting to see him about 1-2 days a week. It's not ideal, but don't feel sorry for me, we've only got 1 more week till his semester's out...relief. Occasionally when he goes to Thatcher I tag along, and we get to see a little more of each other. In early Oct. we went to the apple orchard and then later in the week went to my grandparents ranch,( my dad had come down to help brand and needed the the son-in-laws help.) For halloween my side of the family got together and had a party, and it featured a costume contest. I was the farmer and troy was my milk cow, Evie... a hippie. November pretty much flew by and I don't have any pictures from Thanksgiving but, as always... loved it. We went to the annual Hancock Thanksgiving in Wickenburg and got to see family we love. Just a quick shout out to my cousin kelsey who I know will be reading this! And now it's December 1st and like everyone's December every day is planned out and spoken for. I love the holidays and even though I just saw my entire family and then some, I can't wait until these next few weeks are over and I can see them again... but mostly I just want to see Troy!
APPLE ORCHARD

Does anyone else think that Troy's holding of the apple is hilarious?

BRANDING AT THE RANCH

isn't this the biggest needle you've ever seen?
