#1 FAN!

Last weekend i had the chance to go to Enterprise and i loved every second of it! I headed over Friday and we just kind of hung out and played around. I got to see my other nieces Adi and Sammi [who are leaving on May 11 to move to South Carolina. I'm not very excited about that!] But Adi said my name to me for the FIRST time! I was so excited because usually she has no clue who i am! Sammi is the cutest little baby ever! [then again im partial cause im the proud aunt!] That night we had a sleepover in the living room with all the boys! It was a lot of fun! They had wanted to watch Napoleon Dynomite because Mathew had watched it at his friends house but didn't get to finish it, and they thought it was the FUNNIEST movie ever! They were quoting it the rest of the weekend!
On Saturday Andrew had baseball games in St. George so we loaded up and headed down. We thought for sure they would be canceled since we woke up to SNOW [yuck!] and it snowed all morning. But they said the fields were fine so we were on our way. When we got there it was rainy and cold, but we braved the weather and cheered for our favorite player! The second game was a little nicer. The rain stopped and the sun tried to come out....but it was still a bit chilly! Andrew got to pitch the whole second game and he did amazing! And he hit every single time he got up to bat! After the games me and Nichole stayed in St. George to do a little grocery shopping. It's always nice to spend time with my sister especially since i won't be living with them this summer! :(
Sunday i went to church with them and got to be with princess while Nichole taught primary! I love chasing that little girl around! After church we had some lunch and then we went on a walk! i am SO enjoying these nice sunny days! such a nice change! And then unfortunately i had to come home. But such a nice weekend!

LOVING my LIFE!

Once again it looks like i have a major update to do! I don't know why i do this to myself! But as i sit here watching American Idol i decided its probably the perfect time to focus on this! I guess i need to go all the way back to SPRING BREAK! Oh it was a glorious break from school! My spring break started out with a bike ride on the mountain and then going to cheer on some of my favorite people at a desert race! It started out a cold day, and then suprisingly ended up to be pretty amazing! We always have a great time together! The rest of my break was just spent relaxing, not doing anything special. Workin on the farm, visiting with family, date nights, and just hanging out! Just what i needed!

After Church
Wating for Luke to get done with practice



My very favorite day of spring break! I got to milk a momma cow and then feed this cute little calf with a bottle. His name is Sanka!

Ok...after spring break i just went back to school. Then the next weekend I had another date with one of my nephews! He was nice enough to let his little sister come along, and we went to Pirate Island pizza again! I always love getting to see my nieces and nephews! Then later that night we had a girls night and went to see Beastly. Not my favorite show ever......don't really recommend it either! Then Saturday i woke up at 2:30 AM to head to Nephi to meet Ross and his family for yet another desert race! :) Good thing i like them! I love being there with them, and helping Jonie be the "Pit Crew!" [i may get a little nervous while they are out but don't tell them!] It makes me feel so good when i see their face coming around the corner! I know they are safe! Ross got in a pretty good wreck that you can watch on youtube so now i think i have the right to be a little nervous while they are gone. But i know they are safe riders and they love it so i will support them!
After we got done at the race, and they all did GREAT! We headed to Salina or Redmond....i'm still confused as to where we were most of the time, but for Ross' cousin's farewell. We had a fun night, Ross' aunt and uncle had some sweet conections for us to get to go to this sweet salt mine! I was kind of nervous to go underground but it was way cooler than i thought and im glad we got to go! At one point we were 300 feet UNDERground! It was a good time!
Then on Sunday we went to the farewell, and just hung out in the sun and then headed home.





 We may or may not have licked the salt wall....after we did the guy said, "you guys probably shouldn't lick that." haha oops!



Last weekend i went home yet again for conference! Oh a lovely weekend it was! Got to see a cute boy, see my family, and listen to the words of our Prophet and our AMAZING church leaders! I loved every second of it! For the Saturday session we went up to the mountain to listen to it, and there was something about being outside in the mountains listening to the things Heavenly Father knows that we need, that i have never felt before! i LOVED it! Sunday we spent the first session with my family and the second session at the Summers' house! Where i learned more about farming and taking care of a sick calf. I was amazed at how they took care of it and how much Josie loved that thing only after a few hours of knowing it! I'm sad to report it did pass away though. I thought for sure Jos had it saved! she was doing everything for that poor little thing!
Well i think that about sums it up for now! Holy long post! only like THREE more weeks of school! can i get a WAHOO!! [wahoo!] haha
Hopefully it won't take me months to update this thing again!

A Year Ago Today....

I can not believe that it has been a year since Ashlynn was born! I remember i was sitting there watching American Idol and i get a text..."we're at the hospital and they're keeping me!" I never moved so fast in my life! Aunt Kelsey was on her way!! My mom couldn't be down here so i was going to the hospital by myself! I got there and of course American Idol was still on! :) My sister is either crazy or really tough cause she did not get an epidoral this time! I did NOT like seeing my sister in pain! Everything went way fast and soon i could hear the sweet little cry of my newest niece! my mom was on the phone and she made me ask the doctor if we for sure had a little girl and he said "yup, no last minute changes here!" They had Ashlynn all hooked up with a breathing thing for a little while so i didn't get to hold her! but once i did, it was instant love! She is definatly a princess in every sense of the word! Her brothers LOVE her, i LOVE dressing her up, and her mom LOVES everything about having a little girl in the house! We bonded right from the start...i would try to take the night shift so my sister could get some sleep....so me and princess would watch Chick Flicks together! Her favorite is Bride Wars! :) I love living so close to this little lady and i can't imagine our family without her! I LOVE YOU ASHLYNN GRACE!!

*Weekend Ride*

I get to go get my ride on this weekend in St. George!! I'm pretty excited about it! I've got a date with a motorbike! So goodbye computer, facebook, and Reba.....i'm off....
And i also get to cheer on my favorite people as they take on other riders at the Rhino Rally! GOOD LUCK SUMMERS!!

photoshoot weekend!

This weekend was filled with lots of photoshoots! It started with my niece's one year photo shoot and she hated every second of it!! We did end up actually getting some good pictures though! I love this little lady! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLYNN!!!! can't believe you're already a year old!!
We went and got balloons because it was a birthday shoot but they blew away before we actually got pictures with them! she was not very happy about that!
(don't love the shadows on these, but they are the only ones of her smiling and i still love her tiny little face!)

And then me and Ang had a photoshoot for fun when we went to her house in LaVerkin! We went to Toquerville (my new favorite place!) and took cute pictures!! we love them!

And this wasn't taken at our photoshoot but i just love this picture of us! We get bored at Student Alumni stuff we have to do for school! haha :)

*Our new quote: God made us best friends because he knew our parents couldn't handle us as sisters! :)

3rd Birthday Date!

I realized i had taken this picture on my phone so i thought i could at least put it on here! Dallin wanted to go to Pirate Island Pizza for his birthday! he was in HEAVEN! I loved watching his eyes light up when he was playing the games and he got tickets cause he was so good at them! He was so funny though, he made me go to this pizza place and he ordered Mac & Cheese! (it was pretty good though! props to them!)


LOVE my cute nephews!! :)  

*Superbowl 2011*

This year we decided that we would take interest in the Superbowl in hopes it would intrigue boys to come to our house and watch it! :) Well we were correct in our assumptions! We even picked the right team to cheer for!! Ang made dinner that was DELICIOUS! and so i made a cake! (we think its why they won!)
