Day 13- Grateful that I got to sub in Nursery today. I haven't been in nursery for years, and it was fun to see all of the kids and ALL of their moods. Our Primary presidency was released today, and I am truly grateful for all that they have done over their years of services with the kids in our ward. I cherish those relationships daily, and look forward to continuing on friendships for years to come.
Day 14- Grateful for naps!!!!! Enough said!!!!
Day 15- Grateful that I am working a short week this week at work. It has been quite crazy with everything that needs to get done by Thanksgiving, and I am truly ready for a break from it. Even if it is only for a few short days.
Day 16- I am grateful for my Activity Day girls. They are all full of life, and are NON-STOP. I am with the 10-11 year olds and they keep us on our toes. So sad that our numbers are dwindling, as they turn 12 and move into Young Womens, but all to grateful for the time that I have gotten to serve them in their callings.
Day 17- I am truly grateful for the amazing service that others render in our behalf. Shane went hunting by himself today (which is something that I do not like, ESPECIALLY if he is hunting in a new area to him). He was traveling on unknown roads and got his truck stuck. After going and finding someone to help him out, it was decided that they would give Shane a ride home (thankful for one guy living in Stansbury). Truly grateful that the Savior has taught us to serve others when we have the opportunity to. To Shane and I this was one of those days, and even grateful that he made home in time for a home teaching appointment.
Day 18- I am grateful that I got the day off today. It was planned, but I am still grateful for the sleep that I needed to catch up on. I was originally suppose to go see the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn, glad that it turned out the way it did.
Day 19- I am grateful for the time that I get to spend with Shane. He is such a trooper. We saw Breaking Dawn today, and after went to dinner. I love spending time with him.
Day 20- I am grateful for the precious gift of life and family. I am grateful that Shane and I have an eternal family, and that one day we will have the opportunity to be with our family. Even though it isn't complete here on earth. I know that it will be complete in heaven. I truly LOVE LOVE LOVE the gospel of Jesus Christ. I thank my Heavenly Father for the church and my testimony daily. I truly have been blessed.

Things I am thankful for
With the start of November Facebook has been flooded by friends saying on a daily basis what they are thankful for. I too have wanted to do that, but I have chosen to do it here. Instead of doing it on a daily basis, I will do it for a week and make sure to log everyday as to what I am Thankful for.
Day 1- I am thankful for the Book of Mormon. It provides me with such strength and I love being able to read and share the love of it with Shane. It has strengthened my testimony in so many ways and I am looking forward to studying it further.
Day 2- I am grateful for safety. Today I almost got it two accidents on my home from work (both would not have been my fault). I am grateful that my Heavenly Father hears and answers prays, and blesses us with safety.
Day 3- I am grateful for the little promptings from the Holy Ghost, that tell us the direction we need to go in life and what we need to do to change.
Day 4- I am thankful for the relationship that I have with Shane. He makes me laugh everyday!!!! Through trials we have both become stronger and helped each other out in many different ways. Shane is my ROCK!!!!!
Day 5- I am grateful for a warm and cozy house!!!!!

Where have The Kempton's been?
Well it has been WAAAAY to long since my last post, and for that I am somewhat apologizing. Shane and I have been a little crazy with life over the past 7 months.
Here is a little of what kept us busy these last few months.
April- Shane and I celebrated our sixth anniversary this year. We didn't go on a trip this year, and spent our anniversary doing a session at the Salt Lake Temple and having dinner at one of our favorites places in Salt Lake. Just spending the time with Shane made the day perfect.
May-Was cold and rainy and found our days inside, wanting to get outside and work in our yard, it was also that month that I found out that I had a Staph Infection that needed to get under control. Things are now under control, and I am taking every measure for it to not surface again. I really don't know where I got it from, but they are common.
June- Working outside getting our yard under control. Shane was also fishing whenever he could, and spent the end of June at Stake Priesthood camp. I was busy planning Stake girls camp coming up in July. Guess I never knew how busy an assistant camp director would be. I also was asked to do two callings in our ward, One was on the scout committee, and the other was Activity days. Shane thought that this was a little crazy for me to be doing basically four callings, but I guess that Heavenly Father had other things on his mind when he called me to these callings.
July- Happy 4th of July!!!!! My brother's family came to visit while he is stationed overseas for a year with his job with the Air force. We had a great time getting into a water fight with the kids, and doing fireworks with the kids. trying to spend time at the pool.
I got a promotion at work which has left me crazy busy at work, but I am grateful that to be working full time again, even if that means pulling a few extra hours a week.
I spent a week at girls camp. It was a TON of fun, and well worth all of the planning and lack of sleep that I got while attending camp meetings and working my CRAZY schedule.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!
August- Shane spent August fishing, hunting and continuing to battle the yard work. I can't nail what kept me busy in August besides work, but whatever it was I am almost positive that it was worth it. I did however watch a lot of Yankees Baseball!!!!!
September- I spent the start of Labor day weekend with my mom and sister at Swiss Days. It is our annual girl outing. I love it!!!! And I look forward to going every year. Shane and I went camping for a few days and he continued to hunt and fish. I also got released from my Primary calling. I had a great class and will miss all of them dearly. They were a handful, but I am grateful to be able to attend Relief Society again. It has been 5 plus years of not going, and really looking forward to some adult interaction (for as long as it lasts).
We also spent the month watching baseball. WOW!!!!! That is all I have to say.
October- General Conference!!!! Baseball Playoffs started!!!!! Boo to the Yankees for losing in the first round!!!! Congrats to St. Lois Cardinals for winning the World Series!!!!! I was cheering for you, as the Texas Rangers aren't a favorite of mine. Family Pictures!!!!! My family got together for some family pictures with my brother being home for a quick leave. This was practically a first for my family, as the last family picture we had taken. Nathan and I weren't married, and Ryan (my oldest nephew who will be 15 in January) was about a year old.
That brings us up to date for now anyways. I am hoping to making blogging more of a priority. I know sometimes that there are things that must be let go of, but I know that it is important. It is a way to express things that need to be expressed, and I also think of it as something like a journal, just not as private as a journal would be. It is a place for friends and family to keep tabs on us, and also a way for us to track things in our life that need tracking. For right now I will continue to keep up blogging.
As for many of you wanting news on a baby. I have no news to report. Please continue to pray and fast for us.

Welcome Spring!!!!!
Let the all whole love baseball rejoice!!!!!! Today is opening day of the 2011 season. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!! I live for this time every year. I love baseball and I love spring and summer!!!!! So for me opening day always marks the days of warmer weather, laying out by the pool, watching many hours of baseball, drinking lemonade, listening to the neighbors kids play outdoors, and hours and hours of yard work. Bring it on I am so ready for this season to start!!!!!
Not much to update on. Our lives are kind of boring. What can we say. Shane drew out for his a turkey this year, and will be out scooping the area for a wild turkey, as the hunt is in April sometime. Shane will be heading out for scout camp in a few weeks, and will also be attending the Aaronic Priesthood camp this June with our stake. I am so excited that I will be attending girls camp this year as part of Stake Staff. I am very very excited about it, and can not wait until it draws closer. We will be going the 18th through the 22nd of July. Home just in time for my birthday!!!!
Other things that we are looking forward to this spring/summer. Shane and I will be celebrating six years of marriage. Hopefully going someplace to celebrate, who know what he has up his sleeve. I am just hoping to have a great time this spring and summer and to keep a positive attitude with all that I do. It really does help boost ones soul. Love to all.

Ice Fishing 2010/2011
Shane and I have been busy this winter season doing some ice fishing, and the season is still quite young. We have enjoyed the time together, and the fishing although slow at times is just fine for me. I just like to get out and enjoy the world around me. Things are just seem a little quieter during the winter months in the mountains than in the summer, and I love the peace and quite that surrounds us.
Our first trip together this season took us to Schofield Reservoir in December
Our next trip we took Aynsley with us to Strawberry Res. She had a great time!!!!! Shane and Aynsley were the only ones who caught anything that day. The fish were nice sized, but because of the strict rules at Strawberry we could not bring any home. The fish have to be over 22", Aynsley's came close, but couldn't stretch it out.
Aynsley reeling in her fish
Look at the smile on that girl. Does that look like someone who is bored?
Our last trip Shane and I took Ryan along. They spent the morning ice fishing at Grantsville Reservoir before coming home to get me to go to Vernon Reservoir. These pics are from Vernon.
I caught my first Tiger Trout. Shane was a little mad about this because he has never caught one in all of his years of fishing.

Quick update
These past few months have been busy for Shane and I. With celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, we were busy for a little while. Now things have started to settle down a little bit, and we can really start to focus on some things that need to be focused on.
