Lately

Well it doesn't really feel like summer yet, we both work part-time, go to school, and the weather is horrible. The most bitter sweet thing lately though is tennis season ends this weekend! (assuming the weather cooperates). We have loved being coaches. We had a great season with 3 out of our 5 teams going to state this weekend in Salt Lake. I think i love it the most because it reminds me of when i went to state as a player. We have put so much time and effort into tennis that we are really sad its ending but happy to have a little more time to ourselves till the girls season starts this August. We are so proud of our team and happy we at least have another year with the boys. While we really only have a few weekend vacations planned this summer we cant wait for a little more free time with each other and friends and we get our first niece in June that we cant wait for! We look forward to more weekends like the one this weekend with state, best friend Kristen in town, and best friend Shayli's birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Shay!( even though it was yesterday).
This month was also our best friend Tay Tay's birthday and we got her the best present of all! We should be her favorite siblings for this!

Projects

Here are some of our recent projects:
I used to sit on the floor and do my hair and makeup. For a while Glen has been trying to find me a little makeup desk so i wouldn't have to sit on the floor anymore. We found this for 6$


and with a little paint and wallpaper made me this:


Lastly we made these little cookies for a family party with our cookie gun.

We're back!

Once again we suck at blogging. I always try and wait till we take pictures but that NEVER happens. So I decided I would finally give a small summary of what we have been up to with the few pictures we have. First off we love being tennis coaches. It’s hard because it consumes most of our free time but it’s so worth it. It feels so good to be outside playing every day again. We love seeing the progress of each kid, and we love being entertained by the kids, and believe me they are entertaining. Most of all I love coaching with Glen. It makes it that much more fun and I know I couldn’t do it without him; although I am known as the mean coach because I love to make them run :). I know you think I don’t blog but if you ever get bored and want to see that I do blog go to our tennis blog. I don’t think you will find any interest in it but just to prove I still blog on a regular basis feel free to take a look. Twolftennis.blogspot.com.

Glen also got two of these:

Next pictured event we have is friend time. I feel like lately we don’t get much friend time but we did get a nice weekend at our friend Jake’s birthday party. Katie did an amazing job and to top it off she did it all with a new born baby! The decorations were cute and the food was wonderful! It was Kenny’s birthday too so we sung to him as well.

Lastly it’s a family tradition that when all the guys go to Priesthood session my mom and all us girls do something fun. This year we decided to eat at CPK and do a little shopping after. (Only my mom, Jocelyn, and I enjoyed the shopping part, Tori, Tay, and the boys weren’t too excited.) However Stratton’s new favorite movie is Tangled and to his enjoyment PF Chang’s has two giant horses that looked just like Maximums from the movie. He was mad he couldn’t ride the horse but settled for a picture instead.

We promise we will try and do better but it’s a good start for now!

V-day Crafts!

I think i like Holidays just so i have an excuse to craft! Here are some new projects...

Our new job...

As you all know Glen and I love tennis! I love teaching just as much as I love playing. I have always had the dream to be a high school tennis coach and it has finally come true! It was a last minute opportunity but we took it! Timpanogos, where we both went to school, had an opening for boys and girls head coaches so we get to work together coaching both! It's gonna be a lot of work but we are so excited to be at the school where we both played!

Our Christmas

This year we spent our Christmas in Missouri visiting Glen’s Mom, Grandma, Brett and Steph. We had a wonderful time seeing all the St. Louis attractions, spending time with wonderful family, and having a nice time away from school. When we got back we had more great family time and got everything we wanted for Christmas! We got a lot of fun things and really were blessed this Christmas! I do have to put in a plug for my favorite present... I finally got a KitchenAid! Glen is probably sick of me talking about it but it's wonderful! I cannot wait for all the things I will make in it! It will make my baking a lot easier! So don't be surprised if the next few posts are food! We have a lot of pictures so enjoy!
