Happy Mothers Day!

This past weekend me and my mom had the opportunity to go to the temple with just the two of us. As we were sitting there, I kept thinking how lucky I was to have her in my life and to be in the most important place with her, the temple. I am so grateful that I have a mother who attends the temple as often as she can, I am so grateful for her faithfullness and her ability to share her testimony with all those who surround her but most importantly our family. Growing up she always made it a priority to have family prayer and scripture study every morning. She always made it clear to us children how important the gospel was to her. I am so grateful she made the gospel a priority in our lives, it has been such a blessing in my life. She is such an incredible mother, with more patience and love then anyone I know. I admire the way she has raised us and I hope someday I will follow in her footsteps and achieve some of the qualities she posseses as a mother. It is hard to put in words how grateful I am for all she does, she is so self-less and always puts our family first. I am so lucky to have her in my life, she is the greatest mom and I feel blessed everyday of my life that she is mine.

This year I was especially lucky to get to celebrate mothers day, because I not only have one great mom I have 2! I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. I am so grateful for billy's mom and the person she is. She has been such a blessing and she has made me feel so welcome in their family. I love her and I am so grateful for her constant example. Its crazy how much you can love someone you recently met. I believe one of the reasons I had such an instant love for her is because she gave me my greatest blessing, Billy. She raised such an admirable son and I am so grateful for the way she raised him and the important things she has taught him. I will be forever grateful to her for giving me Billy. I am so grateful for mothers day and the opportunity we have to recognize our mothers. I cannot wait to be a mom someday, I am so lucky to have such positive role models in my life. Happy Mothers Day!

Girls Trip!

Last minute, almost literally we decided to go to Colorado to watch Billy Play. Clarissa and talked about it a little bit, and decided that we needed to go. My mom didn't know until that day if she would be able to make it, but lucky for us she came! We figured we don't get to see our cousins very often and this was the perfect excuse, I get to be with Billy and we get to take a little roadtrip with just the girls! I was sad we don't have any more pictures but here are a few :)

It was so enjoyable to just be with the girls, we had a blast just hanging out, relaxing, gettng lost {even with a GPS ;)}watching baseball, eating, shopping and spending time with Stacey & Garrett. Thanks to them for letting us have such a fun place to stay. It was so fun being able to build our relationships with eachother, Billy and I have so much support from our families. We truly are so blessed. Colorado was so much fun thanks for coming with me gals! Get ready for next year- more roadtrips to come :)

Bases Loaded...

I don't know who gets more nervous between Billy and I when he is up to bat. 

I honestly almost don't even like watching him because I get too nervous..

But it is all worth it when he hits a 

GRAND SLAM!! 

I was one proud wife :)

 Up to bat with the Bases Loaded....

Since Billy is so humble, I get to brag a little :)

MUSE

A couple months ago I tried getting us tickets to the Muse concert.

They are one of Billy's favorite bands and I knew he would Love to go!

Little did I know tickets were $70 a piece!

So I kind of scratched that idea, but we lucked out..

Two hours before the concert Billy's friend knew someone who was selling 2 tickets for $50!

Of course Billy jumped right on it and we were headed to the concert at the E-Center.

We were thinking the tickets would be terrible but it was our lucky night and 

we had front row tickets in the seats!

I have to admit that it was one of the most entertaining concerts I have been to. 

I honestly loved it! But I think my favorite part was watching Billy singing and dancing to the songs!

It was so fun to just be able to go on a date with the two of us, 

I feel like we don't get that very often and I loved it!

P.S. ~next year we are doing the mosh pit! :)

Oh How I Love Baseball!

So instead of being left at home AGAIN I had the opportunity to go to St. George and watch Billy play. I think Billy had the most support with his parents, sisters and sam and also with my mom and sisters. We had so much fun watching him and I really do love boys in baseball uniforms and how lucky am I that I married the cutest one on the team? Watching baseball is a lot more fun when you are watching your husband!  

and don't worry.. there is lots more to come!!

Valentines Day Weekend

Billy and I had such a great Valentines Weekend together, 

I love to celebrate at any chance I get, so that is just what we did we celebrated 

Valentines Day for the whole weekend. 

Also, I figured since baseball started the following week we could splurge!

Starting with Friday, I came home and Billy had already gotten me flowers which were beautiful!

Then Billy and I got frozen yogurt, which is our new favorite treat!

and then went to the movie Valentines Day.

The next morning my dad took all of us daughters out snowmobiling. 

It has been tradition over the past few years and we love it! Just the girls and our dads!

We had breakfast in Heber and than drove to Strawberry where we snowmobiled for the day and out in the middle of nowhere is this little warming shack, so we built a fire, roasted hotdogs and starbursts and got warm. 

Here are all of us girls and our dad! 

We had so much fun, except riding double is terrible and you get stuck and fall off way easy.

Yes me and Jenni had our fair share of falling off the snowmobile but it was still way fun!

Thanks Dad, we love you!

Saturday Night, I was so exhausted from snowmobiling and Billy had baseball practice all day so we decided to take it easy. We went to dinner and got frozen yogurt again :) I told you we love it! and for some reason I don't feel guilty eating it I guess it just seems healthier than ice cream! 

Sunday was a special day because it was not only Valentines Day but it was also my moms birthday. 

Me and my sister Clarissa wanted to plan something special for her. We decided to have a fondue dinner and then go to my grandmas house with all of our relatives to have cake and ice cream. Everything turned out so good, thanks to clarissa the cook, I just spent my time decorating and setting the table :)

 

 Happy Birthday!

I love my mom and I am so lucky she is mine. 

Billy and I had a fun Valentines Day together, went to church, watched movies, and hung out with our families and then went to his sisters for family night. We wanted to avoid the crowds the best we could so we went out to Tempanyaki on Monday night.. Mmm Mmm Good!

Happy Valentines Day Billy! I love you!

L.O.V.E

Although my mom has always made sure we felt loved for the whole week of valentines I have been looking forward to having Valentines Day and The Month of February this year because I don't have to stress about getting a date, worry that I would be alone, know that the only flowers I would be getting were from my dad (which, don't get me wrong, I have always loved!) and be a victim of national singles awareness day...

This year I know I have a date, I know am loved, I know I am not single and I am excited that I get one whole month to remind myself not only how much I love Billy but everything else I love in life and what makes me happy.

I love Billy Bob....

Because.

He makes me happier than I ever imagined possible.

He reminds me to focus on the important things in life and the little ones don't matter.

He loves me for who I am, and instead of pointing

out my flaws reminds me of my strengths.

The way he expresses gratitude for me in our bedtime prayers.

He always lifts those around him up.He is always looking for the good in others.

He is a quiet, but beyond valiant leader and example.

I love. His humility. His Strength. 
His Hardworking Nature. His Honesty.

 He hits the snooze button and then snuggles up to me for a 5-minute-cuddle-sessionbefore we get up.

The way he always seems to make me laugh

when I am trying to be serious about something.

He is the best husband, friend, son, brother, teammate.

He is mine.

The best thing about me is YOU.

Happy Valentines Day! I love you!
