SUU Wins! Good game Drewby!

Drew did SO GOOD at his game last night! I'm not one to brag but I feel like I've got some bragging rights today..ha ha! I seriously am so proud of him! SUU played Dixie State for the first time in 60-some odd years and we won 36 to 7! The whole team played really well, especially the defense! Drew got an awesome interception. He jumped up to block the throw and hit the ball with his finger tip and while he was falling he caught the ball and held on to it for the interception...SO cool!
He plays a bit of special teams (kick off) and did really well there too. I think he got 2 tackles on kick off if I remember right. He's number 44 by the way.
Ready...Break!
Drew and his brother, Nick (they look a lot alike!). It sucked that their game was on a Thursday because not a whole lot of our family could get away in the middle of the week. But I had Nick and his dad there to help me cheer Drew on!
The ones where the red looks orange are from Tim's camera, kinda makes the pic look funny.
A little piece of the article in the newspaper this morning: "Thompson [Dixie's QB] completed 16-of-27 passes for 146 yards but was intercepted once, on an athletic tip-and-catch play by SUU linebacker Drew Willard". Short and sweet but awesome, seriously I'm so proud of Drew, he's come a long ways and I'm so excited to see what the rest of the season has to offer! Go T-Birds!

No Pictures...

Ok, so I have so much to post about but no pictures yet so one of these days I'll get around to it. New car, new house, new job, school, football, crafts, I don't know if I can handle it all! But eventually I will post some more :)

1st Anniversary!

This past year has seriously FLOWN by, it's been the best roller coaster I've ever been on! I love being married to Drew and I'm so glad I can be on this journey with him!
For our anniversary we went to Las Vegas, Drew's brother hooked us up with two free nights at the Palazzo in a serious luxury sweet! One night we went a show called the "V" or the Variety show at Planet Hollywood, I would recommend it to anyone, it was way cool! We took my first taxi drive there (which wasn't that exciting) and walked back to our hotel after. We stopped at the Bellagio to watch the water show and ate at Margaritaville too. We think our server was mad at us for just ordering water to drink. Ha ha but who cares right!?


The living room of our hotel room which had a big old tv and I loved the shades, it was completely dark so we could sleep in til like 11:00 and we weren't blinded by the sun!
Another piece of the room with ANOTHER tv that Drew's facing. And I forgot to take a picture of the bathroom but it also had a tv in it. Who does that!? It was a fun little vacation and now we're back in Cedar City, just moved into our new place, and Drew is off to football camp staying in the dorms for 2 and a half weeks and I'm sleeping alone til my friends get here on Friday!

Bertagnolli/Willard Boat Night!

The last Monday Drew and I were in town we got to go boating with both our families together. The water was so rough and it was windy but we all had a really fun time! It was Whitney's first time on a boat and a lot of "first times" on the wakeboard so it was all fun to watch and good that our families are so close so we didn't have to choose who we would spend our last days in Roy with.
Drew was drivin the boat...look, you can see a little chest hair! ha ha. I love him!
The front of the boat: Mom, Shelly, Alissa, Whitney, and Kailee
The back of the boat: Laura, Tim, Tawny (has Mulan hair), Karlie, and Shayden!
It was Whitney's first time on a tube too and she was loving it. It made my mom SO nervous, I don't know who it was more fun to watch, my mom or Whit! ha ha
Kailee May, gorgey sister!
Tawny's first time on the wakeboard, it took a second but she got the hang of it :)

Golf on the 4th, Baby Ellie on the 7th

We went to dinner at The Mandarin (i think that's what it's called) in Bountiful with my family the other night. This is us during our 45 minute wait in our matching clothes-and no we didn't plan it but they would have been cute engagement picture outfits. ha ha. And if Kristi or Candace were there they would have said, "chin down." ha ha. I guess that's the cheerleader coming out in me.

Cute shoe-socks Kristi bought for baby Ellie!
Just a few hours after she was born! I guess baby Ellie was sick of all the pictures. Ha ha. Shalise looked so awesome after just having a baby, I hope I look that good when my time comes around! Thanks Shalise for letting me come visit before I have to leave again :(
I love how close my friends from high school are! I love them all and I'm so glad we still make time for each other!
Drew and I were really bored on the afternoon of the 4th and we wanted to get out and do something so we went and hit a (HUGE) bucket of balls and then played our own little round of mini golf on the green behind us in this picture.
These pictures are actually in backwards order, he hit the ball and a split second later it was on the grass right in front of him. The ball had gone straight up and hit the bowery thing above us and that's why he's laughing. That wasn't the first time that happened either!

We also had a fun little bbq at my mom's house that night then went to the Clearfield fireworks with Drew's parents. It's been so great being so close to family and friends! I can't say I'm excited to move back to Cedar City but in a way I am. But I know when we do move down we'll be wishing we were right back up surrounded by family and friends again. Lucky for us, we've got great Cedar friends too!

LoNg PoSt!!

Our second camping trip was to Washington Lake in the Uintah's, it was really really cold but fun too! We thought we'd get a little fishing in before we left so Drew and I dropped my brother Shayden off on a rock in the middle of the lake to fly fish. He was only catching the brookies.
Our dog Bella wasn't loving the canoe ride, she was crying the whole time so I got off on the shore with her and we played in the snow-YES, I said snow! She loved running through it. Drew didn't have any luck fishing either and I gave up after my line got all tangled and I had nobody there to help me besides a spastic dog. Ha ha.
For breakfast the last day we had these little boxes of cereal, bagels, or fruit and yogurt. Drew chose all of the above so I thought I'd take a picture. His football coaches are dying for him to gain weight so he's trying as much as his lightning speed metabolism will let him. He ate all those cereals he's holding, 1 and a half bagels LOADED with cream cheese, and a big bowl full of fruit. I thought it was pretty funny!
Drew was carrying Kate and dancing down the stairs to our seats but you can't tell he's dancing in this picture.
A few cute Willards :) Alissa and Kate
We went to Tuacahn in St. George a few weeks ago. We saw Footloose, which was pretty good! Except it really bugged that the girl was taller than the guy. He was a midget. But it was a fun little getaway, we swam right before, went to the play, and hit up a little late night Beto's before hittin the hay.
It was kinda hot, which explains the big shine on my face! It rained for few minutes here and there but it was nice cuz it cooled us off! Thanks Willards for taking us down there!
This was our first camping trip of the summer and it was SO FUN! We went with some of my very best friends and we just played the whole time.

Me and Shalise telling Jessica about a funny story that happened when we got up there. Remember that Shalise? Ha ha, good times!
That handgun Clay and Kristi brought was a loud sucker. Photo Op ;) Me and my honey! I love this guy, he puts up with so much of my crap and still loves me the same. What a fun person to be around. I don't have any pictures of it but after we got all packed up and ready to cook our hobo dinners it started to downpour and hail and everything, it was terrible. But Drew, being the person that he is, wasn't gonna let a little (actually a ton!) of water get in his way. He cooked everyone's hobo dinners while we all hid for cover. Thanks honey, you're awesome.

Wicked!




Last Saturday I was lucky enough to go to the Broadway play, "Wicked" with the Willard girls. It was one of our Christmas presents and we've been waiting not so patiently for April 25th to come. It was seriously the best show I have ever seen, I don't know if I ever looked away from the stage. They were amazing and I would love, love, love to see it again!

While we were at that, Drew was playing in his spring football game where they split the team into red and white and he played really well! He sacked the quarterback a few times and intercepted a pass with a minute left in the game and they won 13-12. I was so proud of him but so sad I couldn't be there to watch. Now we're up North living in Roy for a few months and it's great. I love being so close to family :)

Easter Sunday!










This is my family on Easter Sunday. After church and a big, long nap we all went out back and enjoyed our Easter Egg hunt!

We had a few Easter Egg wars. That's me pelting my brother, Shayden.

My mom looks really springish, I can't believe she still went along with giving us an easter egg hunt! Bella is so big now, she loved going after all the colorful eggs and even got into the chocolate in my mom's closet before she had stuffed the eggs. She loves chocolate! Ha ha oops.

Whitney's basket got a little too full and it broke.

Tawny's happy with her Easter basket too!

After the Easter Egg hunt, Drew's family came over to my mom's house for our Easter dinner. It was so nice to not have to decide which family we'd go with. Our families are good friends so it's so great when we can all be together like that. We love our families and we are so happy when we can spend time with them! Summer is just around the corner and we can't wait to be back in Roy with them all again!

I know these aren't all lined up next to their pictures but I struggle with that. I've deleted the pictures twice now and I don't want that to happen again so use your imagination :)
