Derek's 19th Birthday

Derek turned 19 on the 21st! i can't believe that he is that old! I also can't believe that I will be 25 in a few weeks!! Where has the time gone?! I don't feel that old!

Anyways we went to Chili's for Derek's birthday and then went to my parents house to open presents and have cake and ice cream. It was pretty fun! It was so weird cause Derek got some stuff for his mission... I think that I am still in denial that he is going to go... don't get me wrong, I know that it is the best thing for him to be doing, but I can't picture not being able to see him for 2 whole years...our family will not be the same without him that's for sure! Here is a pic that we took with Derekfor his b-day... my belly is gettin bigger and bigger by the millisecond!

Happy Birthday Derek A.K.A the prized PIG!

V day in Vegas!

We decided since we are not going to have very many more spontaneous trips to Vegas after the baby comes that we would celebrate Valentines Day in Vegas with our friends Jonny and Lindsey! It was a good time despite that fact that we didn't come back on top like we normally do... but what are you gonna do about it?! The first night we were down there we just gambled and ate dinner. but for Valentines Day the boys took us shopping, we went to a nice dinner and saw Lance Burton the magician! It was pretty fun except those shows always make me so mad... I want to know how the crap they can make a car fly and people disappear! It drives me crazy thinkin about it!

After the show Colby and I got to have some alone time and we exchanged Valentines... He is the best husband and my best friend, I can honestly say that I could never ever get sick of being with him:) He always gets me the best gifts but best of all I look forward to his sweet cards or letters they always make me cry! ha ha maybe its my hormones but I just love him so much! thanks for making everyday with you special :)

in Honor of Valentines Day!
