ohmagosh...

hello! remember me? its been a while huh? well i'm alive and well.. thought it might be time for an update, i know how worried ya'll have been about me! i know how much i hate reading posts without pictures so....

us 'cabin camping' on kolob! we love it up there! and by 'we' i mean i love it up there! he just happens to like me enough to go with me :)

brooklyns first haircut! oh man, adorable. she was so cute the whole time. i don't know who was more nervous about it, brooklyn or kasey! brooklyn kept saying 'i'n scared' then kasey would get all sad.. haha shawn was not happy, he liked her long hair, but it was so stringy i talked kasey into it. sorry shawn!

and after.. cutest child ever, you all know it..

roadrunners baseball games with the fam.. and some with trav :) we went on breast cancer awareness night and our shirts say 'save second base' very fitting don't you think? haha classy..

first day of school! thank goodness i am through with that! but its tradition that we go and i wouldn't miss it! the only non-mandatory thing i will get my butt out of bed for that early! its been tradition since skyler and i started kindergarden.. maybe we'll do it with our kids? what do you think sky?

oh and this is basically just so you guys can see just how freaking hott my boyfriend is.. thats all..






wow.. that took me basically forever, but i guess thats what happens when you don't blog for like, five months. oops.

Jason, you're an IDIOT..

Is anyone else SO flippin upset with Jason? Oh man, my sisters and I have been avid Bachelor watchers since it started this season, and let me just tell you, I have never been so upset at a person I didn't know IN MY LIFE..

We all watched the Bachelorette last season when he was on it, and although i must admit, I did like Jesse much better, Jason is just such a cutie! My family was quite upset that DeAnna didn't pick him, (as she is now! haha) so we were all excited to watch him try and find someone on his own show. But wow, just because you ask someone to marry you on TV, DOES NOT mean you have to dump them on TV as well! What a jerk. So Jason, if you're reading this, we are SO over.. I do not like you..

Who votes Mellisa is next seasons Bachelorette?! Yay!!

GUYS, I JUST REALIZED HOW LAME I AM!! HAHA i tag, Kasey, Mickie, and Whitney!

Hey, i'm still alive...

I know you were all terribly worried about me... I know, i'm such a slacker! But i really hate posting without pictures, and unfortunatly i haven't taken any recently :( Anyways, just a little update... I just started working at Dixie Area Detention and i am loving it. I like working with the kids, and it is something new every day. I also just started going to the singles branch in Hurricane and i must admit, i enjoy it more than i thought i would! I have always thought of singles wards as meat markets, and i can't say i'm entirely wrong, but overall its a lot of fun! Hmmm...trying to think of something else exciting going on in my life...nope. Nothing? Yep, pretty exciting life. But try not to be jealous, k....

Oh my goodness! I have looked everywhere for these pictures and have never been able to find them, so thanks Mick! How cute are we! For anyone who doesn't know, this is my very most favorite cousin, Skyler and I! We are 8 months apart, and were the best of friends growing up!

I guess Skyler forgot his swimming suit, so he had to wear mine! Haha, i'm sure he loves me posting this, but hey, what can he do about it, right!


My mom says this was our favorite thing to do! We're sucking water out of the holes in the cement! Haha, there are lots variations of this picture, but in most of them we're naked! Plus i loved Skylers eyes in this one, he is totally wearing makeup! I'm sure thanks to me....

This is the most recent one of us i have, isn't it the saddest thing you've ever seen! It almost makes me cry to see it again. But good news everyone!! He is almost home and i can't wait!! Skyler is one of the very best, if not THE best, guys in the whole world. He has been there for me through the toughest times, and always had good advice and a shoulder to cry on. He is the best example to me of who i should marry. He will make the best husband to someone one day. I hope he can come home and find someone as faithful and caring as i know he will be to her. He deserves the very best, and i sure hope he finds her one day! I love you Skyler!
