And the winners are..........

Yes, folks that is right there was a tie. After many years of debate and competition the final scores are in. Don't get me wrong I still love all of you very much and I am glad that you are all my cousins.

Many have tried over the years yet they simply forget and move on. However one person has stayed there through the thick and the thin. When my friend and I needed a date he was there. When I needed a pick me up it was a phone call just to see how I was. When I needed a partner in a game of hand and foot she was there. Yes folks hands down these two people have been there for me and have earned the title of #1 Favorite Cousin(s).

Here are just a few reasons, that made them stand out above the rest:

1- When I visited him in Georgia he gave a pen that smelled like candy. Which I kept for many years after.
2- Him and his friend came up and went to Jr. Prom with my friend and me. (so much fun!!)
3- We went to a movie at the drive-in and watched that movie. After we went home and stayed up and watched 4 or 5 more movies(I can't quite recall how many now) and all our younger siblings feel asleep we stayed up and watched all of them. The best being something about a teenage zombie. Let me tell you what it was amazing.
4- We created the PG- whatever age we are currently so that anyone younger can not join our activity.
5- He calls me randomly just to see how I am doing
6- He married an amazing woman, whom I love. :)
7- He is there when I need him
8- He does a wonderful Curtis
9- He sang the song It's my Aeroplane in the car with his arms out the window, and also Blister in the Sun! Another song that to this day I still think of you!!
10- She played many rounds of Hand and Foot (and was a wonderful partner)
11- Reminds me when I really need to write on my blog.
12- Reminds me that people really do notice that it has been a year since my last post on here. And that no matter how boring I think my life it is entertaining to her.
13- They have a darling little girl and one more on the way.
14- They are so much fun and make me happy just to be around them.
15- Last but not least They try to see me every time they are in the state of Utah.

That is right Folks, the winners are Tyler and Margret Jolley. I love you all and thanks to all who tried and failed. It is hard to beat someone as cool as Tyler and Margret (and when you put them together they are dynamite). I love you all and Margret I hope this works for you first blog shout out!! :) I love you guys!!

Ok I know it has been awhile! Ok I know that is an understatement.

Okay I have decided to give everyone who has been waiting for me to update this blog a little update. The biggest reason is because my favorite cousin's wife(some of you may know who this is and for those of you who do not it is Tyler and his wonderful amazing and extremely cool wife Margret Jolley) said she really needed to hear an update on my life even if it was boring. So okay here it goes. Let's see I am still teaching in Draper at a Charter School. I love the 4th grade. I am learning so much. Okay last year I became an aunt twice. Once to a niece Oaklie Dawn (McKay and Alyssa's) and the other Kayden Kimball (Ashly and Kimball's) they are both so cute and I love them so much. They are exactly five months apart, which is so much fun. I moved home over the summer and enjoyed many hours working on the farm. Also in March we celebrated my dad's 50th birthday. Which was a lot of fun. Let's see what else happened last year........ okay I can't think of anything else. However for this next year, I have a few plans. I am going to run a 5k called the Dirty Dash. It is a mud obstacle course. I am very excited for this fun race. I promise to be better about writing on my blog. So stayed tune for more. Margret Thank you for getting me to write this. I promise for your sake I will be better. Thanks for being such a great cousin.

Still Kicking and not frozen

Ok so it really has been awhile I think possibly the longest I have ever gone. Well, Ashly and Kimball are engaged, McKay and Alyssa are expecting. We find out Monday what they are having. I am working and enjoying things. Let's see!! I have done so many random things since October I'll just post pictures and then you can ask questions, if you have any.

okay so there is no excuse other than I'm busy!!

Okay I know I should be better for those of you who do follow or would like to follow what I am doing I sure do make this hard for you. I think I'm finally getting back into the swing of things with school and so hopefully that means a little more time for me and what I want to do. So here are some pictures for the last few months. So there was the George Strait concert in July, the Toby Keith in August and then school started. Oh and before we went to the lake Amber and I slept in the Old Navy parking lot, just to get free t-shirts!!! So much fun!! We went to the Lake with Felisha and Kevin and their girls, lots of fun!!! Then we have my birthday, and the Brad Paisley concert which was the best thing ever to have on your birthday!!!

New Website

Okay so I am now going to start doing more with my other job. I am selling Close to My Heart scrapbooking and it is a really fun thing to do. Check out this months workshop and let me know if you are interested.

Life after Lamb Day!!

Well, let's see not a whole lot has happened other than my summer flying away!!! What is up with that I wait for 180 days for summer and those 10 weeks fly by so fast that I am left wondering what I did the whole summer!?! Well, any way updates. My parents bought 26 acres of land so I guess I really do now have a farm to go home to. The small one wasn't too bad but it has now grown. YEAH!!!! Well, I am becoming a big fan of Thanksgiving point, especially their 2 dollar Tuesdays. Brand new baby horse( about a week old)

I have been to the Farm Country with Kevin and Felisha and their girls (my aunt and uncle for those who don't know who they are) and the dinosaur museum with Chandee, Jackson and Halle (my cousin and her kids). It was so much fun. I now only need to go to the gardens. I am planning on this tuesday if anyone would like to go let me know. Also in July I went to Lava Hot Springs with my friends and on my way home I went out to Promintory Point and watched the train leave. It was pretty cool. I am going to the Toby Keith concert on saturday and I am so excited for it!! I can't wait!!! Recently I have been doing mostly work, I have my classroom all put together and will hopefully put the last touches on it tomorrow and then I have all new kids come monday morning!! AHHHHHH!!!! I can't believe I am going to have new kids and yet I am so excited for them!!!

The post that some of you have been waiting for, that's right

LAMB DAY!!!!

Who's summer is complete without Lamb Day, I don't know but mine is not. I just love Lamb Day!!! The week started with softball games Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Ashly and I played on two different teams. I was on the green camo team and Ashly was on the white camo team. It was a lot of fun!!! On Friday we (me, Ashly, Kimball, Angel and Sharley ) went to the King of Country's concert, that is right GEORGE STRAIT!!! It was so much fun!!!! Then Saturday came and we went to the Parade and then McKay, Alyssa, Ashly and I played in the Volleyballtournament we played 9 games and by the end we were very tired. We had lots of fun. After we ate Lamb Sandwiches, watched the Lamb sell, and then that night Ashly and I played softball again. When it all came to an end, I played 2 games that night and our team took first place and each of us won a 12 pack of pop!!! Oh boy big prize!!!! We also watched the fireworks!!! They were great!!! I had so much fun but was for sure very tired at the end of the day!!! Thanks to all who make Lamb Day possible, I'm glad that I got to see all my old friends. HAPPY LAMB DAY!!!
