JESSICA AND TONY ARE ENGAGED!!!






















So... Pretty much everyone is aware but I am engaged to the man of my dreams Mr. Tony Bergstrom. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! I never thought I would ever be able to find someone that is more perfect for me. For those of you who don't know Tony and his family are from Salt Lake City with generations of Ute roots! He is an offensive lineman for the University of Utah, and yes all of my brothers approve of him! Paul is even the one who introduced us. Tony is 22 years old, he served an LDS mission in Sacramento California he is planning on med school after he receives his bachelors in micro biology at the U. He is my large, tall, dark, and handsome man that I have been looking for (even though he's a tad pasty). We got engaged on Thanksgiving day. I am so excited to marry my Tony and I know that we will be eternally happy.

San Diego Football & Hotel Del Coranodo
























































Girls Weekend in San Diego! Me, my mommy, Erica and Rose decided to go down to the San Diego vs. Utah game, Brooke and Julie met us there also. We had a ton of fun for example we had a party bus that was at our beck and call to take us anywhere we wanted throughout the city. My mom and Rose also had a GPS in their car so the mommys knew where they were going as well. Both hotels we stayed at were incredible. My Mom, Erica, and Rose stayed at a hotel was right on the ocean with a private beach so we all hung out over there and went back and forth from their hotel to ours that was a great hotel (thanks to Brooke) it was also the hotel that all the players stay at including the BF Mr. Tony Bergstrom (isn't that convenient). We hung by the pool and just relaxed until Saturday when it was time to put the game faces on!!! 63-14 baby!










Fundraiser


These pictures are at the fundraiser for Jane. Alot of great people showed and donated generously to Jane and her family. The helmet I am holding was signed by everyone on the team and someone the two guys in the picture below both donated $750 for the helmet and a signed football. Its amazing how many people come out to help people they hardly even know. Jane is back in the hospital going through her second round of Chemo. She is doing pretty well as of now!













Me, mom, Erica, and Mr. Tony's arm at Joe's football game. I apparently had something in my nose.

Some Cousin Time!

This is a picture of Jane holding her two week old baby sister. Jane had beautiful brown hair all the way down to the bottom of her back. Her and her mother agreed that before she lost it that it should be given to the Locks of Love hair donation center so some other child could benefit from it. Jane's face is also a bit swollen in this picture from the medication being taken for her lukemia but as you as can see she is still as beautiful as ever!




Recently, My moms sisters children have been staying at my house for a day or two at a time so my Aunt can get some rest from being at the hospital. For those of you who haven't heard my nine year old cousin Jane was diagnosed with lukemia about a month ago and has been in the hospital ever since. She has the type of Lukemia that only about 2% of people get so it is very hard to treat and many things have gone wrong. She has started losing all her hair and her mother has gently comforted her in knowing that losing your hair is awesome and it will always come back. We let her know how awesome her new hats look on her and we plan on wearing some too so we all can look great in our beanies! She is finally speaking full sentences and will have a full conversation with me which is such an improvement and comfort. I never imagined how hard it was and what strength you have to have to deal with something like this. I commend Jane's parents for being so strong for Jane and also being there and keeping their other children at the same time. Please keep little Jane in your prayers. I was able to snap a few shots and a video of me, David and my mother entertaining little Mathew and Kate playing in our family room. You have to watch the video and listen to Matt laugh as david twirls him through the air. I don't know what it is about a childs laugh but I can't help but laugh right along with him.

Utah vs. Oregon Game


Paul is on top with his arm coming around to the quarterback!

Me and Tony after the game! Paul saying NO GOOD! after he batted down a pass from the opposing teams quarterback!




Right before kickoff!
As always the highlight of my week is that Utah football games. I must say that the Oregon State game was the funnest and most exciting game I have ever been to. I love the picture above, you will notice Mark in the locker room with a group of players after the victory. Mark absolutely loves to follow Paul around and Paul is always gracious enough to let him. He always makes Mark feel apart of things, what an awesome older brother!

Shooting Range

The above gun is the one I got in place of the Pink Lady. Its not pink but its alot more powerful!
This is the gun I had that I traded for my new Taurus 24/7 9mm

On our way up to the moon ride
The gang after the moonlight lift right up at sundance.

We JUST SAW YOU BUTT NAKED!!!

Me and Tony at the game. Our boys are doing really well! Tony started and played the whole game and Paul tied the record for most sacks at the U!!!

Tony and two of his three bros and his daddy Tony Singing me songs on his Uke


Me and Mom at the gun range.... I made her come with me so she wouldn't be so scared of guns. By the time we got going she wanted to shoot longer than I did haha. I was testing out the two new guns I got. I bought a pink lady gun that was having some problems so I took it back and traded it for a 9mm gun that will blow your whole arm off. Speaking of that I was in Gunnies (western store) the other day looking at guns and I noticed a man holiding a huge 50 caliber pistol basically a gun that has massive deady bullets that could take down a bear easy! So i look at him and I'm all soo... you lookin at getting that gun? And he's all ya I think so.... I proceed to say " Dang that thing will blow your arm right off!" After saying that I walk past him to go to another gun counter and notice that the DUDE ONLY HAS ONE ARM!!! There was nub where his right arm was supposed to be! I felt so bad and then I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I think he knew what I was laughing about... Give me a break ok? What are the freakin odds of a dude with one arm holding a 50 cal gun with now freakin arm. hahaha that would for sure only happen to me.

Joes Trip to the Hospital








During Joe's football game on Friday night he went out for a pass and was reaching in the air and got nailed in the chest by a short stubby kids helmet causing one of Joe's lungs to partially collapse and bruise. Joe being the quiet one that he is slowly wandered off the field and on to the bench without saying a word to anyone that he was in pain or had been injured. It wasn't until it was his time to go back in when coaches noticed that he was falling in and out of conciousness on the bench. I went on the field with my mom and dad to see what was up with the fool, He was breathing so fast and shallow and was so pale! I had him lay his back and breathe in and out with me as slowly as he could and he tried that for a while but it kept getting worse to the point where he was shaking uncontrollably and passing out over and over. Finally we called an ambulance which took about 15 minutes to get there, and they put him on oxygen and cut off his clothes which was nothing new to me seeing that I went through the same scenario about six months ago. We get to the hospital and they hook him up to some IV's and take some scans, x-rays etc. That is where we found out that one of his lungs was bruised and fell lower than it should have. blah blah blah. He was ok! While this tramatic event took place I was able to snap a couple of pictures just to document for Joe his personal event. As you will see in the pictures he obviously woke up after awhile and was being very entertaining for my camera... HAHAHAH I love you JOE.... I would also like to say that all mothers better get a pass straight to heaven. Bless my mothers soul for putting up with all the heart wrenching hospital trips and most of all for putting up with these damn boys!! I'm sure those of you who have boys can relate! We love mommy's
