Two years later....

Well it has been two years since I have posted last... I know I am such a slacker. Well here I am now and hopefully I will be better than I have been. The last two years have been exciting and boring all at the same time, but lately we have been busy and full of exciting news.

We are pregnant with our first baby and it is a little girl. We are due on April 10th which means I only have 18 weeks to go. Below is a picture of me at 22 weeks.

We have also moved into our first home. We moved in Nov. 17th but are still getting things unpacked and placed so no pictures yet. I will get some on soon.

This was short but I will be back...soon!

I'm Back

Hello Again Everyone!!!

I have been unable to blog from work on my lunch hour, which is when I did all my blogging so that is way I haven't updated our site in over a month. They have gave us access to blog again so here I am. Let me fill you in on the last month or so.

Our softball team made in to the tournament but lost in the first round. We only lost by 1 in the last inning, but we felt pretty good about it because the first time we played this team they beat us by nine I think. We all loved playing and are planning on playing again in the spring.

JJ, Kenna and I went to St. George the weekend before Halloween for a softball tournament JJ was playing in. JJ's team played pretty well, but it wasn't a team he had played with before so they did not make too far in the tournament. I love St. George, I want to move there some day so I can get away from the snow in the winter. It probably won't happen but I like to dream.

October 26th was our 1st anniversary!!! We could not believe that time had past so fast. It has been a great year for us and look forward to many more.

We are getting ready for Thanksgiving. I have more to post about when I have all my pictures so look forward to more to come soon.

Our Softball Team

Well, I meant to start this post seven weeks ago after our team's first game but haven't taken a picture of the team so I haven't posted any of our game results. I still do not have a picture of the team but it will come. So JJ wanted to form a softball team to play in a league this fall so I decided it would be fun to play together. Here is our team:

JJ Love: Is our pitcher and our coach
Stephanie Love: I play right field
Diane Love (JJ's Mom): Plays left center
Amy Martin (JJ's Sister): Plays catcher
Justin Martin (Amy's husband): Plays right center or shortstop
TJ Michaelson (My brother): Plays right center or firstbase
Kenna Sayama (Friend): Plays second base
Kyle Harvey (Friend): Plays left field
Sara Harvey (Friend): Plays thrid base
Blake Bailey (Friend): Plays shortstop
Dustin Wood(Friend): Plays first base
Kassie Sayama (Friend): Plays catcher

We strated out the season with four losses, but have won the last three, and each week we improve individually and play better as a team. We have the first game of the tournament this Thursday and will hopefully make it to the championship game next week. We have had so much fun playing with our family and friends. We might not be the best team be we are having fun and growing closer to everyone and that is better than winning.

I'll update this post on Friday with the results of the game Thursday!

I Know, I know....

It has been forever since I have posted anything. I have been pretty good about taking pictures of the things JJ and I have been doing but never post them, so here it goes. I am going to include everything we have done recently in the same post.

Ok, First... Our camping trip to the Heber area. We went up with JJ's family and some family friends for a weekend in the mountains. It was pretty cold while we were there but it was so beautiful and a great time being up there with everyone.

While there JJ and I hiked down to a pond in the valley below where we were camping and then had to climb all the way back up. We both wanted to give up at times on the way, up but we finally made it back. The hike was beutiful just a little to steep for me.

Next, we headed to Denver to visit my sister's family. The main reason we drove the long 7 hour drive was to see our two nephews play football and celebrate Marcus's birthday.
Matthew is seven and this year is his first year playing football with pads, which he looks very cute in. Matthew plays Center, on defense and is the backup kicker. In his words, "I'm very important". He played so well and his team won.

Marcus is turned twelve on September 13th, so while we were there he got Rock Band for his birthday, which we spent a lot of time playing. My brother in law Mike almost got kicked out of the band by Marcus and Jordan, but he got the hang of the guitar and was able to stay in the band. Mike coaches Marcus's football team, so it was nice seeing him coach and Marcus play. Marcus plays on all sides of the ball in football and is also very cute in his uniform. He made some great plays, but in the end thier team lost.

We have had such a great September and October so far and I'll try to keep this blog up to date more often.

Camping at Yuba Lake

This past weekend JJ and I went down to Yuba Lake for a little camping trip. My mom, dad,younger brother Jordan, and our friends Teri and Kevin came along as well.

On Friday night JJ, Jordan and myself went fishing. I am going to be honest... I caught the biggest and the most fish while we where there.

This was the biggest fish of the trip and the biggest for me ever!!!

JJ caught the only non-carp of the weekend, too bad it was so small.

Teri and Kevin brought wave runners so we played on those and at the beach Saturday afternoon. The rest of the trip was all about relaxing, playing cards and electronic life.

We had such a great time, we just wish vacations lasted longer.

TJ's Home!!!!!

On August 13th my brother TJ returned home from his mission. He served in the Hartford Connecticut mission. It is so great having him home. I don't even know what else to say except that my whole family is happy he is home
