The Graduate, Class of 2011

I know I am a few weeks behind on posting

about the newest Graduate!

My cute little sister Jenni graduated from

Lone Peak High School.

WHERE DOES TIME GO?

I swear that was just barely me. Then I realize

I have now been married for a year and half!

and out of high school for three..

Ah, so crazy!

She is the cutest girl and I am so excited for her to start college.

She got her CNA License during high school and is going to UVU and starting the classes for her Nursing degree. I wish I would have thought about my future in high school,

I loved the social life too much!

Once again my grandma had 3 graduates all from Lone Peak!

Three years ago it was us..

This year it was these 3 cuties.

Jenni, my mom and cute grandma!

My Parents!

The Girls :)

Our Family!

These two love eachother, if you cant tell by this picture,

she LOVES him.

Love her!

I am so lucky to have so many sisters as best friends. We are so lucky. I am so proud of Jenni and the person she is, she is such a great example and so much fun! She should still be in kindergarten with her huge glasses, bangs, lipstick and high heeled clogs, thinking she was the cutest thing that walked the earth.

Congrats Jenni Rae!

So much Support!

We love and appreciate all of those who came to support Billy and UVU this year! We feel so blessed to live so close to friends and family!

We are especially grateful for our parents. We couldn't do it without them. They show us so much constant love and support. They make sure we are always taken care of. The Burgess' came to every single game and always took such good care of me. They always invited me to go with them when Billy was out of town I feel so blessed to have such great inlaws!

We are extremely thankful to live in my parents basement, it is a huge blessing and we are taking advantage of it! Baseball season would be so much harder if I didn't live close to home. They were my entertainment- and I was the tag along anywhere they would go! We appreciate them taking time in their busy lives to come to so many games! They are constantly showing us so much love and support. We sure love our parents!

Billy definitely had the biggest fan section.

We cheered loud and proud!

Especially my little siblings. No Shame!

But I loved it- We have the best families in the world.

Not only do we have the best families, we have the best friends too!

I love that we both went to Lone Peak and we are all friends- we love it!

We are so lucky to be surrounded by so many good friends.

We got to know so many of the baseball players, their wives and families.

We have so much fun with them and love when we all get together!

Billy is so lucky to play on a team with so many good guys.

( I was going to take a picture of the wives and players,

but of course I forgot!-lame!)

and of course....

I am Billy's NUMBER ONE FAN!
I sure love my man.. I am the luckiest girl in the universe.

P.S.- How cute is this picture??
Ya he's adorable and he is ALL mine :)

My Champ is Back!!!

He is Home!!!

The life of being a widow is over.. well for atleast for a little while :)

They won the championship AGAIN and he played SO AWESOME!
Back to Back Champs!
I wish so badly I could have gone to watch him play.

Unfortunately, we are poor and flights were outrageous!

Here are a few pictures of him during the tournament.

Accepting his award at the Athletics Banquet.

All-Conference Team!

This is a picture of him at the last home game!

I love this picture.

Check out those forearms :)

GREAT WEST CHAMPS!

You can't really see him but he is the little

head right behind the trophy!

Accepting his award..

All tournament team!

All the coaches

I was dying to see him.. DYING!

He had been gone for way to long and I was so ready to see his handsome face!

Here a picture of me anxiously waiting..

Of course they were delayed for 2 1/2 hours.

They were supposed to be there to UVU at 9:30..

they got there at 12:00!

It was a long wait, but well worth it!

These are two of the wives! love them :)

Ah! first one off the Bus!!

Yep, I went running and gave him the biggest hug and smoocharoo Ever!

You know the guys on the team watching from the bus were so jealous!

I am so proud of him and his accomplishments this year!

Although he got into a slump he stuck with it and ended off great!

I absolutely love watching him play. I just wish they always had home games and he never left me.

It is kind of a bitter sweet thing having the season end. Right now I am loving having him home.

I am glad he has another year though- I love watching him do something he loves!

Way to go babe, I am so proud of you!

WELCOME HOME and CONGRATS!

Wedding Bells!

This gorgeous gal is getting married June 4th!

We are so happy for her!

My aunt Sara and I gave her a bridal shower and It was so much fun doing it with her!

She is so creative with such great ideas!

We did a love birds theme and centered it all around birds.

I wish I would have taken some more pictures,

but I didn't get my camera until afterwords.

so I will just have to manage.

Here are the very minimal pictures we took afterwards

My mom, Grandma and Clarissa

The Carson Girls + Grandma

Me and the Bride-to-Be!

Congrats Clarissa! We love you!

Good Times

I am definitely a little behind on this blogging thing.

But i am going to play catch up

starting with our great weekend.

Billy had four games, of course...

but saturday was a blast when he had the game winning hit..

so you know we celebrated!

This was the article about the hit :)

Burgess' Hit in Ninth Caps Comeback and Sweep of NYIT
OREM, Utah - Utah Valley completed a comeback win over NYIT when Billy Burgess singled home Kai Hatch with one out in the bottom of the ninth to win 9-8 on Saturday at Brent Brown Ballpark.
The win completed a four-game sweep of the Bears in Great West Conference play and improved UVU's record to 19-19 overall and 11-1 in conference.
"I was proud of what our guys did," said head coach Eric Madsen. "That's a great sweep because New York's a great team. For us to be able to do what we needed to do to win shows a lot about our club."
The Wolverines trailed early after the Bears (10-24, 6-7) scored six times in the third to take a 6-0 lead.
Burgess doubled to lead off the bottom of the frame and scored when Austin Haws delivered a two-out double to get UVU on the board.
Rob Cafiero tripled and scored on a base hit by George Carroll to extend the NYIT advantage to 7-1 in the fifth.
The Wolverines put a dent into the six-run deficit with three in the fifth. An error allowed one run to come in before a bases-loaded walk to Goose Kallunki scored the second run. Chris Benson also scored in the inning on a wild pitch.
In the sixth, Alex Exon doubled and scored on a base hit by Burgess to start the scoring before Haws delivered his second two-out RBI with a base hit to left to plate Burgess. Benson then bounce a double past the bag at third to plate Burgess and tie the game at 7-7.
Burgess' sac-fly in the seventh gave UVU a brief lead but NYIT's Jerry Smith came up with a big two-out single in the top of the eighth to tie it at eight.
In the ninth, Kai Hatch blooped a ball into right that went for a double to lead off the inning. After Exon grounded to second to allow Hatch to move to third, Burgess singled into left with the infield in to give Utah Valley the walk-off win.

Burgess went 3-for-4 with three RBI and scored two runs while Haws had two hits, two RBI and also scored twice.

And the video I tried to record. My sim card was full right in the middle of it! I was super bummed because the team ran after him! it was so fun!

We celebrated the great win with dinner at Malawi's Pizza and country dancing with the baseball team! We loved it! So fun to see billy on the dance floor... pretty good moves i tell ya :)
