1st Week of College!

I guess it's time to sit down and just write some of my thoughts. First of all this past Monday I started college. Can I just say WOW! I don't even know. I am so excited to be in college. It's great. I love all my professors. They are great. I love learning, and meeting new people so I guess college is my place right? Well my southern mama went to Mississippi and so not only am I starting out my first week of college, but I get to play mom. Cook, laundry, children to school, shopping for groceries, getting school fees paid, and then trying to get my car fixed. It's stressful, but I have learned so many things about myself in the last week. 1st being, life isn't as bad as it seems if you step back for a minute take a nice deep breath and prop up your feet. It can be beautiful if you just take a moment and see it for it's beauty. 2nd is that I never realized how much my mom does. goodness gracious! Mom, I love you, and I am SO very grateful for you. 3rd I can do anything I set my mind IF and ONLY IF God is on my team. Life is a gift, accept, take care of, and love it! <3

Family Updates

Well it's been a while since I have had family updates. So let's list them.

1. It's Grandpa Holliday's 79th birthday! We didn't think he would make it to this one, but look at him, cured from cancer, and smiling strong.
2. Broc had his jaw wired shut. Poor little guy crashed on his bike, and has now to not only endure stitches, but yogurt, smoothies, and anything soft.
3. Whitney's birthday came, and it was nice to remember her, and know that she is still serving a strong mission on the other side. We love you Whitney.
4. Mataio is now crawling everywhere, but not only is he a cute baby look at Ricky and Sara's new baby!!!

Look at that gorgeous hair, and darling cheeks. She is so stinking cute! We welcome you to our family Kalia Louise Fifita. =)

MMHS vs LEHI!

Eagles kill the pioneers in over time. Man what a game. =) I totally lost my voice screaming! It was a riot. =) Thanks Caitlyn and all her friends for making my Friday night a blast. =) Way to go Eagles! 43 to 40!!!

College Life!

Everybody I can officially say, I am a poor college student. =) Hooray!!! I am so excited to be starting college. My first day is the 29th and I am ready. I have been on campus a few times for tours and trying to find things, and I am looking forward to this new chapter of my life. I also am getting the jittery nerves, but that's a good thing. After finding my classes and walking my schedule Jared, Becca (my new college friend), and I decided to look around and take some pictures.

15 flights of stairs. =)

After all those stairs Becca and I sat down for a nice little look out over the lake. We were tired.

The next thing we decided to do was take some fun pictures. Look how cute!

Jared ran the flight of stairs three times. He was resting.

 It's Jared and I as the poor college students. We both can't wait to start college! I am so very excited. =)

College Life here I come!!! Hooray!

Nanny Brooklyn

I take care of the funniest dog. His name is Toby. Isn't he cute?

Toby is deaf, and is so sweet. He wouldn't do anything to hurt ya. But let me tell you he loves to play. Feeding him doesn't seem to difficult...right? Well here is his daily menu.

Breakfast is oatmeal, a block of cheese with his pill in it.

Lunch time consists of 1/2 a bottle of Star squash noodle soup, ham and ham gravy baby foods (with his pill mixed into it), two hand fulls of normal dog food, and a treat.

Dinner is a can of stew. The "meat" is soft dog food. Man it smells funny. But he loves it. He has a funny diet, and no wonder he has to take so many pills, but I love him! He is so sweet. =)

First Day of High School!

Caitlyn is starting high school. Can you believe it??? Goodness gracious I can't believe this. She is growing up so fast! Here is her first day of school picture. Cute!

Good luck Caitlyn in High school! I love you.

New Road??

I thought that when they did construction they usually made the road better than it was... Well I don't think this is any better...

They have completely blocked off our road. Mom and I had to wait for the tractors to move before we could even get out to go to work... Duke thinks it's fun to watch.

But the other two sleep through all the excitement and commotion.

Well it's been a few weeks and we are sick of the dust, mud, and noise. Please hurry on fixing the road... I am ready to have a red car again. =)
