to my friend, hero, my mom

but happy moms day to the best!....MY MOM!!!

Holy cow! Where do I start? My mom has been my rock for 19 years through everything that has happened to me in life. I have no idea what I would do without her. She was always there for me growing u through high school and now that I am going to college she is still there for me but even more than ever. There are days that I call her like 5 times a day just to say hi! My mom has been there for me through sooo many tears, laughs and memories. My mom hasn’t only been there for me but she has been there anyone possible. She has owned the steakhouse for six years and loves ever moment of it. She loves to be involved and help out the school with their dinners, and see everyone everyday! My mom is one of the hardest workers around. I hope that one day I can be half the mom that my mom is too me. Whenever I am having a bad day I can always count on my mom to make it better! She always makes a bad situation into a good one! My mom is always there to support my siblings and I in all that our games that we have home or away she was there to cheer us on. You can hear her out in the hall, to some students they wouldn’t like it but to us, it helps us perform better in our game. Knowing she is there is the best feeling of the night! During high schools she made our special nights even better. When we had dances she would volunteer to have it in the back room of the steakhouse and decorate for a night to remember!

Here are only a few reasons why I love my mom…

1.) She is ALWAYS there for me

2.) She always has a smile on her face

3.) She will always be my #1 fan in all that I do

4.) She always tells me to reach for my dreams

5.) She makes me laugh all the time

6.) She helps anyone in any way she can

7.) She never lets me down

8.) She never judges me

9.) She is always there to help me out no matter the situation

10.) She is my rock

11.) She is my hero

12.) She is my shoulder to cry on

13.) Even as a mom she gets butterflies when I tell her my secrets

14.) She always tells me that she loves me

15.) She is the Hardest worker I have met

16.) No is NOT in her VOCABULARY

17.) She put more than 100% in what she does

18.) She never quits a job

19.) She is my friend, hero, sister, fan, example and best of my entire mom!

A few months ago tiff asked me to start going to church with her, she wanted to start taking the missionary discussions and get baptized! She did just that! I am so proud of her and the choice that she made to get baptized! she got to spend it with so many friends and family that love her!

Today it kinda hit me

Days like today I realize how lucky I am! After a fun weekend of being home with the family I came back to Twin and took a nap because I was very exhausted! I have been having quit the dreams lately and today I had a dream that hit me! Nate leaves soon for his mission! He has been called to Canada. Don’t ask me where, because I really can’t remember I always forget. But I am more than excited for him! This will be one of the best things! He will get so many answers! I can’t wait tell I receive the first letter! I already know that I will cry when I receive it, I told my aunt that he better write like 3 times a month. She said aaa kallie you have to write him to! I feel bad for him because I am not a writer at all! But since I like him that much I will be sure to write him tons!

Anyhow back to my story I had a dream that Nate leaves at the end of this week it sure did hit me I woke up crying! I cried like for twenty minutes straight! I am the BIGGEST baby there is! I know this will be one of the most amazing things that will happen! Right now it’s hard to think that he leaves soon and will be gone for two years! WoW! Knowing that he will be serving the lord will make it all worth it

Nate and I have been dating for about a month and he already SPOILES me ROTTEN!!

Only a few Reasons why I like the kid….

1.) He drives to twin like twice a week to see me

2.) My family LOVES him

3.) He loves my family

4.) Zach and Zan like when he comes over to hang out and ask every weekend if he’s coming to visit

5.) Dinner at my house with us 3 kids + him = a dinner full of laughs

6.) I LOVE his family

7.) He ALWAYS puts a PRICLESS smile on my face!

8.) He surprises me with some great adventures that I have never done before…like fishing!

9.) He is my ROCK!

10.) He makes me laugh

11.) He is fun to be with

12.) And when we go to kiwi loco he’s like a kid in a candy store!

13.) He spoils me

14.) And I sure do like the kid!
15.) He is my BEST friend

Nate~

A weekend of fun

Last weekend was a lot of fun! I left for Malta after work and went straight to Burley to see Nate because he said he had a surprise for me! A surprise for sure it was!.... He and his family got be some AMAZINGLY CUTE flowers and the movie Tangled! It sure made my day! I loved the flowers I told him that I would dry them and hang them on my wall so I will have them forever, he says they have to be cuter ones for that, I disagree! They were BEYOND BEATUIFUL! I told him that Tangled was one of my favorites so I was going to go buy it so we could watch it. Well they beat me to it and got it for me for Easter! I love it and made him sit and watch it with me on Sunday! I think he kind of spoils me! Then after that I went to the steakhouse to make some cupcakes for Trisha’s b-day! I was able to spend Friday night with friends and family at my aunt Trisha’s Maurice’s party! It was fun to try on everything that we could, laugh, and make a night full of memories while we all shop and spend all the money that we could!

Friday night was also Zach’s prom! Of course he took little miss Chloe! I went to see him before he left and man did he look sharp and made me feel old. My mom and Trish made the night special for the both of them. They decorated the back room for their dinner before the dance with lights it was really cute! They always make sure to make our dances special for us! Zach and Chloe looked way cute! I was hoping to make it to promenade to watch them but Zach threatened me with my life. He said that I couldn’t go no matter what! So I didn’t go I just looked at the pictures after! I am glad that they had fun1 they are such a cute couple! I sure do love them both!

Saturday afternoon I went to Nate’s for a day full of fun! I got to meet his sisters, a couple of cousins, and aunt! They are all really nice! We colored Easter eggs (his mom had us do a dozen each) His mom made some yummy goodies! Jell-O eggs, sugar cookies, no bakes, and rice krispies! They were all delicious! After the decorating we loaded up in the cars and headed to Burley to hit a couple of craft stores. That night we went to a movie with his family! The day was a lot of fun! I sure do love his family! They are a lot of fun and we have great laughs! I can’t wait tell the next time I get to spend the day with them!

Sunday afternoon we went to Grandma Hitts for the annual Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt! This year Traci came out and so did my grandma’s brothers, sisters and their kids so there were a lot of people but it was fun to see everyone! We ate hamburgers and hot dogs and visited for awhile after visiting the older kids went up to Grandma Holtmans house to hide the eggs so the younger kids could have the Easter egg hunt! This Easter was a lot of fun to see everyone!

I only got a few pics but enjoy:)

These are my BEATUIFUL flowers from nate and his family!
