6 Random Things

1- Post the rules on your blog. 2- List 6 random things about yourself. 3- Tag 6 people at the end of your post. 4- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I've always wanted an older brother. This started when I was watching my neighbors play volleyball in our sand court in my backyard in our old house. Stacie, who was a few years older than me, was always on her older brother's team, and he taught her how to play. It was bonding like I had never imagined, being an oldest child myself, and I wanted the same thing.

2. When I was a senior in high school, I was in a softball accident that almost left me blind in my right eye. Now, the only mark I have from the accident is a weird pupil, it dilates slower than my left eye so it almost always looks bigger than the pupil in my left eye. Not many people notice until I point it out.

3. Someday I want to have a library like the one in Beauty and the Beast, with huge ladders, books reaching to the ceiling, big comfy couches in the middle...

4. When I was little, I wanted to be a marine biologist when I grew up. I think this came from a combination of watching Free Willy, going to Sea World, and liking to swim.

5. I sucked my thumb until I was 8 years old. When my mom started to put hot sauce on my thumb to make me stop, I dumped out the bottle and filled it with water and pretended I was in pain until she finally figured it out.

6. I'm not a very good driver. One time in high school, I was backing out of the garage and I hit the other car in the garage.

*Okay so I don't know six people who blog, so instead everyone who reads this has to comment on this post with one random thing about themselves.*

MC Softball Schedule

Just for your information....
Here is the Mountain Crest High School softball team's schedule!!! The only game in Salt Lake is against Taylorsville (before the state tournament), but if anyone wants to come to any games, let me know because that would be fun and we could party after the game! Sorry the pic is really small and lame-looking, just click on it and it will get bigger...

More From Days Long Gone

Looking back, it's easy to see why I'm such a softball nut. My softball roots reach deep into my childhood, to the days just following diapers!



My cute sisters...



The biggest advantage of being one of the first grandchildren in a family is the love and fun times you have with your aunts and uncles while they are still young and crazy! My uncle Scotty-pickle-head was still in high school when we lived with them before we moved into our own house in California.

Back When...

Ok mom, you asked for some old pictures and I spent a few days scanning over 300 pictures. Everyone get prepared to see old pictures for a while because I have been having so much fun looking through everything!

Nice hair mom :)


I have no idea when or where this was taken...

Valentine's Day!!!

Who knew Matt had a secretive/cute side? On Valentine's I woke up and found hearts all over my door, and went outside and found my car full of balloons, paper hearts, and other Valentine's paraphernalia! With the help of my roommate Natalie, Matt did all this without me even knowing! Just the start of a great day...



Natalie planned the best Valentine's breakfast, complete with heart shape waffles, strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate hearts! My roommates Natalie and Jenni came, along with Matt's roommates Brandyn, Cameron and their friend Garth. Mmmmm, delicious!



Since Matt claims not to have any liking for Valentine's day, we decided to babysit for people who actually like the holiday. We spent the night playing with five kids, and after they were in bed we got Olive Garden take out.

Mexico Pictures!

So for my mom's "honeymoon" we all went to Mexico! We were there during the first week of January and it was beautiful! We stayed in the Barcelo Palace all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen, just outside Cancun. We spent every minute we could at the beach, soaking up the sun, but we also found time for swimming with dolphins and visiting the ruins at Tulum. At the ruins we had an LDS tour guide which was a really interesting spin on the experience, especially after we finished my sister saying, "That was such crap!" haha yes I have a fantastic family. We also went into Playa del Carmen and did a little shopping, Jeff's first experience shopping in a foreign country with four women with shopping experience. We found a Starbucks, a 7-11 and a Burger King in the main shopping area, I guess you never really get too far from "American culture." We were lucky to have such good weather the entire time we were there and to be able to spend time together as a "new" family!

The coolest pool I have ever seen in my life


Towel animals... always a hit


The ruins at Tulum were right off the ocean, it was beautiful



Wandering around our resort looking for the show we wanted to see that night... Basically Jeff was looking for the show and we were screwing around!
