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!
