Make-up Post

Well, since we have spent the last week making up softball games that we have missed due to the horrible weather (where is the sun???), I seem to also be behind here, so here is my make-up post for the last week and a half. Mountain Crest softball is playing games every day that there is sunshine. We have four scheduled this week. We played Monday and Tuesday, and will play today and tomorrow if weather permits. Last week we were ready to play every day, but each game got cancelled until Thursday when we finally got to play. For the rest of the season, we have at least three games a week, which is a lot for high school softball. School is so lame, but finally almost over! Only three weeks (including this one) of class, and a week of finals, before freedom! I am literally counting down the days, and taking as many days off class as I deem necessary for my health (such as today). Last weekend I went home, for like the first time in over a month, and did a lot of visiting. I visited a friend recently home from his mission, a friend who I haven't seen in like six months while the boys were at priesthood, went to Leatherby's with Tim and Kamie (and loaded up on books from Kamie's home library), saw my dad's parents, and had dinner with my mom and Jeff, Alex and Jason, and Becky and the kids. Whew. Oh I also visited the family I nannied last summer, the McKinlays. The twins are just starting to walk and it is really the cutest thing I've ever seen- imagine two little boys in only their diapers walking Frankenstein-style at you at the same time. I can't believe how much changes happen in only a month or so. I also found out I will only be nannying part-time this summer, so if anyone knows of a sweet summer job for me, I'm still looking for something else to supplement the nannying. I'm looking forward to this weekend for a little break from the chaos and to spend some more time with my mom and to see my friends from high school at another bridal shower. My life would be so empty without all these people.

Lindsay's Shower!

On Saturday, Jenni, Natalie and I threw a bridal shower for our old roommate Lindsay who is getting married May 2. We invited all our other old roommates, including Jeana (who is now the only other roommate who is married), Jessica, and Natalie Watkins. Amanda couldn't be there, and we missed her! We had a good time chatting and catching up on what everyone is up to, and of course interrogating the soon-to-be-bride about wedding plans and her cute fiance, Tom. I love these girls so much and I loved spending time with everyone!

Almost everyone I've lived with over the past three years! (From left: me, Jeana, Jenni, Jessica, Natalie W., Lindsay and Natalie) The only people missing are Amanda and Darci (although we were never really friends with her), who I lived with freshman year.

Aggie Softball!

On Saturday, Mountain Crest softball team went to watch the Utah State softball team play against Boise State! It was really fun to hangout with the girls and the other coaches... and Matt. Haha he liked it!

The Beginning of the End

Now that we are officially on the downhill slope of the semester, the sun is finally deciding to shine in Logan! I can't remember the last time I walked around campus in the WARM sunshine (winter sunshine doesn't count because it is still bitingly cold). Matt and I prepared for this blessed event by taking random pictures around campus. I don't know why, but this is our favorite:


Please pray that we survive the next six weeks of school!

Cassie!

Again, I spent a couple days scanning over 700 pictures (whew!) and most of them were of Cassie. I remember her when she was this small. I miss it. She was the cutest baby and little girl ever! She had more energy than any other little girl and was always happy and bringing sunshine into our lives. I am so happy to see her now as a teenager (AHHH!) but I just love to remember the baby too. I love you Boog!

Cassie's first "bike" (her legs were too little to ride any other type of bike)





Cassie's pacifier... these were the only kind that she liked. When we lost one, my dad had to run to the hospital and get more


Sassy Cassie

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.*
