What can you remember?

This is a sweet game!! Nothing bad please!!


Here's how it works:

1. As a comment on our blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (it can be for Jill or Tev, or both!) . It doesn't matter if you know us a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses. If you leave a memory about us, We'll assume you're playing the game and we'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, we'll leave our memory of you in our comments.

Marlayna!!!

When you read the title of this blog I know you thought, "There she goes again. Talking about herself. She is always trying to make herself funnier than she really is." Well you can relax and continue reading. I am not writing about the big Marlayna. I am writing about one of the most beautiful babies ever.

So now you are wondering why I have a little person named after me. Don't worry I wonder as well. My friend Becky served in the Montana Billings Mission. I was blessed to have been a ward missionary and friend to her through her whole mission. Lucky for me the friendship lasted. She even wrote me and sent me a package when I was on my mission. Yeah she is the nicest ever!!

So she always told me she was going to name her first girl after me. I was very sure that was a lie. Not to many people willing to name their child after a crazy lady. So I would always just laugh it off. Well on day Becky told me she had a bun in the oven. I was very happy for her. (oh she is married in the Temple. I know you all wanted this story to have some twists and turns. Sorry you dont get any!) A few months or so before this sweet little girl was going to pop out Becky asked if she could name her Marlayna. I am sure she would have even if I had said no. (It is more that she likes the name more than me.) I asked her if she wanted a little me running around her house. I am sure you can't get genes from a name, but I am sure the name causes some craziness. Becky was willing to take the chance. So I told her I would love it. For the first two months I got to know her through pictures. Then about two months ago I met her for the first time. (Sorry Becky hasn't sent me those ones yet.) So you get to see the four month old ones.

K so not so good at blogging!

Life is crazy you know!! My blog has seemed to suffer a bit. Ok a lot! Today is my last full day in Rexburg until January of next year. Not sure how to feel about that. I am moving down to West Valley, Utah. No laughing. I have lived there before, but I was only of the tiny little person. This time may be a little different. The area is different, I am different and the people I am living with are different. Oh well, it isn't like I haven't done crazy things before.

So the past little bit I have had some fun!! I went on a wonderful basic skills hike!! Oh what a party it was!! Here are some pictures!




I also went to Yellowstone!!








So I going to have more time on my hands! So I will blog more!
