NOVEMBER 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!!! This year we had Thanksgiving with my family this year. Trent and Shelby were able to come down from Provo but Brett and Jana had just moved to Washington so they weren't able to come down this time around. So it was my parents, Trent, Shelby, my grandpa and us three. We had a good time eating thanksgiving food of course and playing our traditional games we play when we all get together. Always a good time!

OCTOBER 2010

Happy Halloween!! Last night we went to Trunk-or-treat for Jordan with my mom and dad's ward at our stake center. Jordan was a fairy this year! She did not understand the trick-or-treating part at first but then she got the hang of putting the candy in her bucket or at least keeping it in her bucket. She was definitely having a blast.

Also Corey got a new job as the Manager at Oil Can Henry's. He was able to quit his night job at Big Lots finally. :)

Two weeks ago Jordan and I hitched a ride with Grandma and Grandpa B up to Brett, Jana, Jovie and Brock's place in Salt Lake. It is a really cute place. The three kids had so much fun together. They are adorable, miss them already. The purpose was to visit of course but also because Shelby was going through the Temple. Jordan ended up getting sick so I wasn't able to go but everyone else was able to so that was good. I was able to hang out with her and everyone else too, so that was nice. While we were up there we were able to see Grandmas Seiuli and Taylor with auntie Lea and Bre. My Grandma Estes (Jordan's nana), Aethea, Bryn and Tyler. We went with those two to the nightmare on 13th (so much fun). We also went through a corn maze while we were there, the kids had a blast through that. It was a great trip! After that Brett got a job in Washington and they moved shortly up there after our visit. Congrats!

AUGUST 2010

Corey turned 26 on August 19 and it landed on a Thursday this year. I decided I wanted to celebrate it in Tucson. Corey gets free hotel coupons from the radio so we stayed in a hotel suite Friday night and all we had to pay was a $5 tax fee. My parents took Jordan for the night and most of Saturday. Thank you so much! We went to Red Lobster, Corey's choice, and then to the movies to see Despicable Me, hilarious! It was really nice to get away and be together just the two of us for a little bit. I love my man! Happy Birthday love!

Jordan also turned 18 months on the 21st of this month. She is growing up so fast. She is so much fun and she is so cute. It is also the first time she went to nursery. She did great for her first day. I dropped her off and she said bye-bye. Haha! After that she sometimes cries and takes awhile to say bye but it's only a minute, then she's good! Way to be a big girl! :)

END OF JULY 2010!

We went up to my parent's cabin in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. My Grandma and my mom were there since Friday the 23rd and me, dad and Jordan drove up on Tuesday the 27th and stayed till Friday the 30th. Corey had to stay home and work. Jordan loved every second except the car rides. For some reason she did not sleep longer than 25 minutes both ways. At the cabin though she had a blast. My parent's cabin is beautiful. It was a nice get away from Sierra Vista especially since it rained every day. I love the rain when you're in a cabin. There is a covered balcony that goes all the way around so we were able to still be outside and Jordan could still play without getting soaked because she loves to be outside. We went for a walk one evening and running through one of the neighbors land is a stream and Jordan loved it. She did not want to leave it, if I let her she would have played in it all night long. Jordan also rode the fourwheeler for the first time for two rides. She loved that too!

Volleyball anyone?

Anyone who knows me knows I am in love with playing volleyball, any kind. In April and October I play in a St. David tournament with my friends normal six-on-six indoor. Then last summer I played doubles in a grass tournament that lasts the whole summer. I first played with my friend Rebekka (Herb) then I started playing with my friend Keesa and we won the championship at the end of the summer. I had a lot of fun! This summer we are going to play again. The games are only on saturdays and Corey usually brings Jordan by with the stroller and snacks to come cheer me on. She thinks it's fun to watch mom hit the ball. She yells and claps her hands. It was funny because for winning we got these trophies and she thought it was for her and still does. But of course I gave it to her! She was very excited. The picture isn't very glamorous because being monsoon season it rained all morning on us and plus our sweat doesn't make for a great look! :) In June my friend Brittany put together a four-on-four indoor tournament. Corey and I played with Spencer and Marlee Forsberg. We got fifth out of 10. We did a lot better than I thought we would. We had tons of fun! I love VOLLEYBALL!
