Sista's!

I forgot to mention that my Sister, Pam, is due

the exact same day as me! Ironic and crazy we

know, but it has been so much fun being pregnant

together. And huge thanks to Trish for being our

"Go-To-Girl" I think we would be a wreck if it weren't

for Trish and our Mom telling us all these crazy things

are normal! OH and we're both having girls (or so we

think) haha

Not the best picture but any picture of the three

of us is priceless! Love you Both!

LIFE as we know it!

OK so I realize it has been FOREVER since

I have udated my blog! My Mom informed me

(as usual) ha that I need to update it or there is

no use in having one. Very true! So I decided I'd

better update everyone on our life!

During my last post I had found out 5 days before

that I was pregnant! Obviously that is MUCH too

early to tell everyone and now it's a little late because

everyone knows. haha But I am pregnant and due on

February 1st with a girl, Amelia Karen Collett.

During the Summer/Fall we did so many fun things!

We went to the Brad Paisley Concert, Mitch

got me the tickets for our Anniversary! It was

so much fun, he was great live!

We also went to a Cowboys and Indians party.
Pam and Simon came with us! It was really fun!

We planted a garden and got so much from it!

But most of all we got HUGE pumpkins! They

were Mitch's Pride and Joy! He would come

home every day and check to see how much they

had all grown! We had Mitch's siblings and their

spouses over and we gave them all pumpkins

from the garden and we all carved them! It was

so fun!

The Finished Product! Also our new black door!

We also went on a cruise in October. We took

mine and Mitch's parents (I know that grammar is

wrong)! We went to Cabo SanLucas and Ensanada,

Mexico. It was so much fun and we were grateful

to be able to do it before the baby came!

NEW Hair and Room!

I finally broke down and dyed my

hair back to black! It has been so hard

trying to do brown! It's been going

weird tints of red so the other night

I finally just dyed it!

Mom and Dad came out the

other night and brought us all of this

awesome weight equiptment!They also brought us out the

bed! It has been a dream come true!!

Thanks Mom and Dad! LOVE YOU!

This is Mitch, Extrememly happy about

the gym in our basement! haha

Marathon Weekend!

This is Marathon Weekend!

Mom, Dad, Mike, Pam, Jacob, Izy, Steve,

Kelsey, Pam, Simon, Trish, Caleb, Maggie,

and Pennelope were all here that weekend!

Mom exchanging her water with Dad!

Mom did awesome! She took 4th in her

division!

Mitch on his way to give me a kiss!

Every time we saw eachother he'd

give me a big sweaty one! ha

He also did awesome! Especially since

he didn't train at all!

My adorable Niece and Nephew playing

in my weeds! haha Adorable!


And just an awesome bird sitting outside
in my apple tree one morning while I was
taking a shower I saw it and ran to get
my camera! Isn't it beautiful! The Female
bird of this species is SOOO ugly though! :)

MORE HOUSE!

These are just some more pictures of our house!

These are all outside! Today I had 2 neighbor

boys come over and help me mow the lawn so

I thought I would take a picture now before it

gets long again! haha

One of our front flower gardens! One out of 4!!

Yes, it is A LOT of weeding!
Some of the back yard!

These beautiful flowers grown in

another of our flower gardens!

I love them!

Our front little pathway! the other 2

flower gardens! haha

The front of our house! We totally love it!
We know it's not magnificant, but for

our first home we absolutely love it

and are so grateful for it!

Silly Mitch!

I just have to show you why Mitch makes

me laugh! One day we were cleaning and he

decided to put on all of the clothes that were

on the floor or really just not hanging up

and he put them all on!

He's such a QT!!!!

My Love turned 23!

Corinne and Haley (2 of Mitch's sisters) came

to Mitch's "Surprise" Party, along with Shauntae,

Spencer, Chase, Sean, Mark, and Phil. It was so much

Fun!

The cake I made for him! Ha I know it's not very

pretty but it was REALLY good!

The Dessert table (without the cake)!

This is some of the boys playing games!

Phil bought Mitch some kind of a card

game so the boys all played that while

the girls ate, talked, and played Rock Band!

It was a great night!

HOUSE!

Trish came over and helped me

put up the light and put do our

kitchen! We absolutely love it!

Thanks Trish!

This is the before picture of our kitchen.

Well mitch and I bought a house!

We are not sure how it all came

about but before we knew it we

were signing a lot of papers and

we now own a house! We absolutely

love it! We live right next to a

water park, tennis courts our

church, and a school! I will get some

before and after pics on here as soon

as we finish getting everything put

back together! YAY!

Foot Surgery

I know it's been a while but a few months

ago I had a buneon-ectomy (Spelling? ha)

It hurt like crazy but I got paid $575 for

doing it so being the cheap person that I

am I think it was worth it! Here are some

pics!

Las Vegas

This is when we very first showed

up on Wednesday night. It was about

8 and we were starving. We checked in

and ate at a mexican place. Then we

went to the karaoke lounge until we went

to bed.

The next morning we went swimming

which was fun, and not too cold.

Afterwards we went and ate at Bahama
Fresh. It was absolutely amazing, hence
the picture in the restaurant.


We walked around the hotel and
became familiar with it. Then we went
to the Lion King Broadway Production.
It was aboslutely amazing!


Afterwards we went to the New York,
New York and ate REAL fish and Chips!



The next day we went to the Temple.
It was definitely one of our favorite
Temples! It was so so beautiful!

We went to the MGM to see the
Lions. It was pretty cool. Afterwards
we went and walked the strip. I have
only ever driven down it but i'd definitely
suggest some kind of blinders! ha



The day we left! We were excited
to come home because we had found
out that our offer on our house got
accepted!


That's the consensus of our stay at Excalibur
in Las Vegas, Nevada! What a great trip!!!

LIFE!

I got a call this morning from my Mom

informing me I had not updated my blog

for almost a year. SO here's a very small,

yet large update on my life for the past

8 months.

As most of you know I got married July 28th!

Definitely the best day of my life! Not to

mention a dream come true to get married

in New Zealand!
We had a week honeymoon in New Zealand,

and another week in St. George. It was a

blast!

3 weeks later Volleyball started. It was a long

but good season. It was much harder than

last season, because I was away from Mitch

for so long, but it was still a good experience. For Halloween we made pumpkins and

went to Trish and Calebs to do a fun mystery

game that Pam did! It was a blast. Mitch

was a gangster and I was a cowgirl.

Trish just had an adorable little girl...

Sadly I don't even know how to spell

her name so i'll say Pipp. ha She is so

fun! Maggie has been so good with her also!

Well, that's the update on my life! Loves!

Kris & Mitch
