Weekend In Reno!

I was able to go to Reno last weekend and watch Billy's games!

I have the greatest In-laws ever. Thanks to them I was lucky enough to go.

We left Friday morning at 6am. I wasn't feeling so hot so,

I knocked myself out with Nyquil :)

I slept for 6 out of the 7 hours!

(both my mom and my dad informed me that I probably

wasn't very fun to ride with... oops!)

We got there at about 2 and headed to the outlets and lunch.

Then off to the game where I finally got to see Billy!!

I feel like we don't see each other AT ALL anymore :(

I was THRILLED when I saw him.

After the game it was pretty late and I was sick so we had dinner

and just relaxed at the hotel.

And then unfortunately he had curfew...

so we dropped him off at his hotel.

Which happened to be right around the corner!

lucky us :)

Wealtha and I at the WINDY game!

It was pretty darn cold.

There he is,

The man of the hour!

Saturday I slept in. Which was AMAZING,
plus it helped me feel better throughout the day.
Watched the morning session of conference
and headed back to the ball park to
watch more baseball!
Including this....

Don't mind my hideous scream/horrible recording/
and deep sinus infection voice

in this video!

Billy's 3-Run Homerun!! YAY!

Giving him some love after an incedible game!

Me and my cute friend Taren.

Her husband is also on the team!

It has been so fun getting to know the wives.

They are all great!

This is a picture of us country dancing.

It seriously was a blast!

We are going again... for sure!

Billy and I hanging out at the Casino

after I just won 35 bucks!!

All the baseball players were playing roulette and

losing money left and right.

I knew the odds of me winning were very slim.

I didn't want to waste money.. I told Billy I would

rather have a shirt than waste 20 dollars.

He talked me into just starting out betting 5.

I had five $1 chips. I dont really know the game very

well so I laid all of them on #13.

{That is Billy's baseball number}

I figured itwas a lucky number for the day

since he played so well :)

Billy was like woah woah woah

you probably want to mix them up and choose

5 different numbers...

I put one on 4, 21 and so on..

They roll the little wheel....

guess what number it lands on......

13!!!!

I won 35 bucks just like that

first number I have ever bet on.

(Imagine if I would have put all of them on 13,

too bad I am an obedient wife ha!)

I cashed out and walked away!

It was a blast being able to get away

and be with Billy and my sweet In-laws.

I loved every second.

Thanks Burgess' for such a fun weekend!

Oh how I love my man in a baseball uniform...

Yes, its that time again...

Billy has started his Junior year of baseball

and he is playing great!!

Baseball season is a bitter/sweet thing for me.

I absolutely LOVE watching him play

and knowing he is doing something he loves makes me so happy.

I love that he has worked so hard to get to this point
and he totally deserves it!

I love that his school is being paid for!!

but.....

I hate, I mean HATE!!! being left at home.

Let me just vent for a moment.

Maybe it will make me feel better :)

He usually is out of town 4 out of the 7 days of the week.

From Thursday to Sunday.

He has night school on Monday and Wednesday until 9.

Which leaves us Tuesday night.

One day out of the whole entire week to be together.
Luckily I can walk upstairs to my lovely family
or I would really be insane.

But, then I remind myself.

his school is paid for, he loves it

I love watching him play

and he looks so dang good in his uniform ;) ha ha

So in the end it is worth it and its only 4 months!

This last weekend they played in St. George so
I was lucky enough to go!

We made it a little girls trip and had a blast!

All the sisters!!

My man getting warmed up

All bundled up! It was freezing!

Billy's Cute sisters Anna and Madee!

Up at the plate!

We are so lucky to have such great family and

friends who are so supportive.

While Billy was up to bat the Umpire asked him..

Wow, is it a family reunion!! ha ha

Here is a Picture of Billy's fan section!

All the Girls minus Lydia after the game!

Isn't he adorable!?!

I think so.. :)

Mike and Jennie our awesome friends
came down to the games!

The whole crew that was in St. George.
Some of the Burgess family and the Carson family!

During the whole game Lydia had been working on making

this bouquet for Billy. She picked the weeds, added the leaves

it honestly looked pretty good. She is so creative!

She couldn't wait to give it to Billy.

They absolutely adore eachother!

I told him the other day. I wish we had money right now because it would be a blast to travel to his games,

he is only in college once and I only get to see him play college baseball for 2 more seasons.

So in my dream world... I wish I could travel to all of his games.
But back to reality... I am glad I got to go to St. George.
It was so much fun and a nice getaway!
Plus I got to be with my husband!!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!

{It must be love}

Billy and I had such a fun time celebrating Valentines Day!

I have grown up loving Valentines Day because
my mom always made us feel so special!
This is what my parents home loooks like right now...

My mom made these little hearts for each of us kids.

She wrote reasons she loved us and words that described each of us individually.

Below are our heart pillows for show love week-
stuffed with lots of love!

I wanted to keep some of the traditions going in our future family
so I started by making these:

For one week straight we always had "show love week"

Everyone would take a day and show love to each other.

We would write love notes, give a treat, make dinner, clean their room etc.

I loved it and wanted to start that with Billy and I.

Since Billy was going to be gone for half of our show love week I sent him on his baseball trip with these goodies and little love notes.

I know the other players are SOOO jealous...

or maybe Billy is a little embarrassed!

I also have had plenty of time on my hands
with Billy being gone so I made this little sign
to get our house feeling "Love"ly :)

We went out to Market Street Grill on Friday

and then made chocolate/caramel covered pretzels.

We had a blast!

Monday morning he came out of the shower surprised with this on the door....

I had string tied to the door knob and then all around the house which led him to this..

Brown paper packages tied up string,
these are a few of your favorite things!

We told each other we weren't doing gifts this year and we would just do a nice dinner.
Well, that was after I had put this together.
So he was extra lucky this year!
and he wrote me the sweetest card-
by far the greatest gift!
I think it was a success he seemed pretty happy :)

Billy had class on Monday night so I just made him dinner.
We had a great time being with each other
and missed all the crowds!

I made this little muffin tin with reasons why i love him!

Not the best pics..
but it shows we are happy :)

I love my Valentine!!

Happy V-Day & B-Day

First of all a shout out to my main man...

this stud muffin.

He just the greatest. I love this picture.

Happy Valentines Day!
I sure am the luckiest girl in the world.

I love you babe!

And a very Happy Birthday to my mom.

Her birthday is on Valentines and she always spends the day
showing love to others,especially her kids.

I kinda felt like she always got cheated.

But this year she is in Hawaii with my dad.

A much deserved vaca for the both of them.

My mom is the greatest. She is the most giving person
and would do anything for anyone especially her family.
She is the definition of a perfect mom.
Everyday I call her on my lunch break, literally every single day,
and no matter how busy she is she always makes time to talk.
A lot of times its for the whole hour.I know she is busy-crazy busy-
I may be a little selfish for taking her time b
t its my favorite part of the day.

I could go on all day about all the many reasons I love her but I have noticed one particular thing a lot lately...

she always has great advice or insights about everything.

She seriously always has some inspiration thought from a BYU devotional she listened to or she remembered great counsel from conference talks, or firesides. She is constantly intune to the spirit and always uplifting us and giving us great advice and counsel.

She is the greatest example and she is constantly inspiring me to better myself.
