Here are some photos of us with the family! Christmas was awesome! We all had a blast. My mom and little brother got to come down so it was a ton of fun. My little brother was in a bra because we were playing the game "what if" and he had to put a bra on for one of the challenges. haha. It was pretty dang funny! We had a lot of laughs over the holiday. I hope all of you had a great Christmas also!

SNOW!!!

Believe it or not this is St. George! This was the morning after it snowed all day and night. I looked out the window and it was a winter wonderland! It was so beautiful. It actually stuck to the ground for like a day and a half then most of it melted. But we enjoyed it while it lasted! It really set the mood for Christmas. I Loved it!!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Today it has been snowing in St. George all day! Can you believe it? The snow doesn't stick and the flakes are pretty small but it still snowed! I love it. I love the feeling of Christmas and why we celebrate it. I love driving around town with my hubby and looking at all the beautiful lights! I love walking around the temple with hot chocolate and looking at the lights there. Nothing could be more beautiful! I also love decorating our town home and making it feel warm and cozy. Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Family Pics

More Family Pics

Here are some pictures of us with Collin's family. His mom loves to take new pictures every so often with all the family. Most people hate taking pictures and complain about it(husband! ha) but every time we do have to we always end up having tons of fun and a lot of laughs!

Thanksgiving!!!

Ok I know I am way late on putting Thanksgiving pictures up but my camera died on me so I had to use my mother in-laws and I just barely got the camera from her lastnight! So that is why it has taken me soooo long! Anyways, I had a great Thanksgiving! We went to Escalante where Collin grew up. If you are wondering where the heck that is, it's about an hour outside of Panguitch... I think. ha. It was a really short trip because we went up early Thursday morning and then came back Thanksgiving night. It was a great trip though! The food was amazing. We had the dinner at Collin's grandparents house. It was freezing up there. If you can see in some of the pictures there was snow on the ground. They were huge flakes to! It was pretty cool. I always love going to Escalante because it is such a small town! It's smaller than Moapa if you can believe that! His grandparents have horses and huge alfalfa fields. It is gorgeous out there. It's very peaceful and calming. Anyways, that is my Thanksgiving. I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving also!

Fun Times!

This is me, Britt, and my cousin Becky! We went to Mesquite to hang out and have a BBQ with her and her cute family. We haven't seen her in forever and we all got a hold of each other through facebook. I love facebook for that reason! You can find anyone on there, I love it! We had such a blast hanging out. It was like back in the day when we all used to play together. The husbands all hung out and played the wii and the wives got to catch up on what has been going on in our lives. It was great!

DHHS Volleyball Team

Our varsity volleyball team got to go to state last weekend! It was held up north at the U.V.U. in the David O Mckay building. We left on a Thursday early in the morning and they had there first game at 4:30 p.m. We played Grantsville and played awesome the first two matches but then lost the next three. Then we played Park City at 7:45 p.m. We ended up losing to them but they still played awesome! Even though we lost I was proud of the girls! This is a brand new school and it was there first year in volleyball. So for being a new program I think they had a really good season! It has been an awesome experience coaching for the first time. I love it! Sometimes I find myself wanting to play with the girls rather than coaching! It's fun to see when the girls improve and you know you were a part of that though. I think next year we are going to have an awesome team. We have some amazing freshmen! So the future for DHHS volleyball is looking good! Oh and this picture Is not the best of them. This was right before our last game so everyone was just trying to get pictures as fast as they could! They are awesome!

Haunted House!

On Halloween night my family and I went to Vegas to my brother's in-laws house. Last Halloween my brother started a Haunted House at his in-laws. They did it again this year and it was awesome! They went all out! This year they made about 1,900 and they donated it to the Boy Scouts of America. Channel 8 News came and filmed the outside of it and interviewed people that went through. They said it was the best haunted house in town! So that was really awesome. Most of us got to be in the haunted house. I was the "ring girl." You know that movie right? The one where she crawls out of the well. It was so fun to scare people! Collin got to be Michael Myers. We both had a blast. At the end of the haunted house someone comes out with a chainsaw and chases you. It was hilarious to see grown men sprinting out of there! It was a fun way to spend Halloween! So here are some pictures of the haunted house. I wanted to get more but my battery kept dying on me! Hope you enjoy! I also hope that all of you had a great Halloween!

My Two Little Nephews

So I haven't taken any pictures lately at all so I never have anything to post or share! Plus we have been super busy that we never do anything fun! So I was just going through my pics and thought I would post my two nephews. Ty is 2 years old and he is a handful! He is the funniest kid ever! Doesn't he look like Michael? This pic was a while back so he looks even older now. He is tons of fun to be around. Then there is Brax and he is 1 year old. He is Brian's baby. He has the biggest smile ever! He is a real love bug, which I love! I am not around him quite as much as I am with Ty because he lives in Vegas. Brax is definately more shy than Ty! I think Ty got Britt's outgoing crazy personality. ha. So being around them makes me want to have a baby more and more! Plus I work in the nursery at church and that makes it even worse. They say being in the nursery is like birth control. ha. But for me it's the other way! It makes me want to have one. Then I see how all you guys have cute babies and are so happy! Collin wants to have one really bad. Our original plan was to start trying this month but I think we are going to wait until the summer. But who knows! Our minds change all the time! So we will see what happens!

Dear Michael,
you are such a butt! You really got me fired up there! I kept trying to think who hated me so much in High School. I do have to admit that you got me on that one! But please don't ever do it again you turd! So for all my great friends that left comments and stuck up for me THANKS! My brother-in-law likes to play jokes and get reactions out of me. He thinks it is fun! ha. So he was the anonymous commenter. I guess he was bored one night doing his homework on the computer and came across my blog and thought it would be funny. What a turd. I am just glad to know that no one really hates me! Thanks again for all my wonderful friends that have my back!

We Love Volleyball!

So me and my sister Britt played our second outdoor volleyball tournament. It is the funnest thing ever! Anything that has to do with volleyball we are down! So the morning before we started to play Britt called and said that she was throwing up. Of all days she had to be throwing up! I guess I can give her some slack though because she is pregnant. About 4 months. Anyways she was a trooper and still came to give it a shot. When she started to play she felt fine. But when she stopped she started to feel sick. Weird I know. So she was sick plus it was like 50 degrees and windy. it was freezing! I got to a point where I couldn't feel anything. I guess if you love volleyball though you will go through anything! ha. Despite the sickness and the freezing cold we managed to pull through and take 1st. We each got a $35 gift card to Big Five and a free entry for the next tournament. If any of you like to play volleyball I would really suggest trying it. it is so fun!

Here's Our Story

Here is the story of how Collin and I met. Me and my good friend Shanna King went to a family home evening activity for the Dixie State College ward. I really did not want to go because I had a ton of homework. Well Shanna told me there was going to be food, so how could I turn down that? I finally gave in and we went. While we were eating our food I overheard Collin talking to someone about his mission. The only reason I was kind of eavesdropping was because I heard him mention Orlando, Florida. My brother Brennan at the time had just left on his mission for the same destination. So I was really wondering if Collin had crossed paths with him or got to meet him. Shanna kept telling me to go talk to him, but I get a little shy sometimes. She on the other hand is a really fun and outgoing person so she pretty much dragged me over to him. So I finally asked him about the mission and if he met my brother. Unfortunately he did not. Brennan was going out as Collin was coming home. Brennan did serve in all the same areas though. Well Collin ended up getting mine and Shanna's number. I thought for sure he would call Shanna because she is such a fun and beautiful girl. Shanna and I ended up inviting him to come play volleyball with us one night. He showed up and by the end of the night when I was about to leave he came up to me and asked me if I would go on a date with him! I was surprised and excited! So we went on our first date and then from there on we saw each other every day! We dated for 4 months and then he proposed, got married 4 months later in the Saint George Temple on May 12, 2007. So there is a little about us for starters. I am still trying to get used to this blog thing so stick with me!
