elder chatman.

my cousin Jordan Chatman left for his mission today! he is the MTC. its so crazyyyy. i cant believe he is old enough for this! were all growing up and its just weird. i am so proud of him for going on a mission. he put the Lord before basketball which he loves and i am just so proud of him! when he gets back he will be playing basketball for BYU and i am so excited for that. he came down to Utah on Sunday so jami and hannah drove down so we could all see him before he left on his mision. and it was so greattttt. we got to see him all day monday before we left that night to go home. i seriously love this kid. he is so funny! and i am always laughing when i'm around him. i cant wait to start writing him and see how his mission is going.

Happy Easter everyone!!

i'm so thankful for Easter and the chance to remember Christ and his sacrifices he made for me. i am so thankful for the gospel in my life and everything that Christ has done for me. i dont know where i'd be without the gospel in my life. it has helped me so much in making decisions and i would be lost without it. i am so thankful for the power of prayer and the chance to talk to my heavenly father and know that he is listening to me. he knows what i'm going through and has a plan for me. i'm so thankful for the resurrection and the sacrifices he made for me. i'm so thankful for the Atonement. the chance to repent when time is needed and to become a better person.

i hope everyone has a good easter. gets lots of candyyyy. but also remember the true meaning of Easter.

Familyyyy!!

my family came and visited us girls at college this last week and it was soooo funnn! i loved having them down here. i hadn't seen them for so long and it was so good to see them! i seriously love my family so much and always have so much fun with them. the day we got there kade shows up in all BYU clothes and then i gave him the headband and the sweatband. pretty hilarious. they got here on sunday and we just like chatted at me and karli's apartment and then me and kar went and spent the night at lindsay's house with them. so that was fun. then on monday they all came to different classes with us. first was our history class and it was so fun to have them there. honestly our history teacher was hilarious! first just jami came in because oscar, hannah and emma chickened out. then we told our history teacher that they were just outside and he was like no. they need to come inside, i need to have 6 farmers in one classroom at one time. so he went outside to get them! pretty hilarious. so then he was just talking to all of us and it was funny. then hannah and emma came to our biology class. super boring but fun for them to come. haha then the rest of the day we just went shopping and hung out.

tuesday: we all went to the BYU women's tennis team. that sure was fun to watch. they were super good! and i love watching tennis. so it was fun. it was a little windy but it wasn't too bad.
then after the tennis match we were on the way to the athletic museum. where kade saw abou and branden davies. abou brought kade to his car and gave him a set of cards with all of the basketball player cards already signed. kade was so happy. and it was so nice of abou to do that. then we saw branden davies in the museum and of course we had to get his autograph too and then take a picture. and wow is he good looking. haha

kade was reallyyyyy excited about this. everyday he would bring his cards everywhere with him. so after he got all of these cards he was organizing them and was just really happy. so that sure was great.

yea he was really excited.

then hannah and emma came with me and kar to this game class. honestly the best class ever. it is so funny! and the teacher is hilarious. so i'm glad they came with us to that!

at one point we were all singing Wicked. Oscar couldn't quite handle all the noise so he put in his ear phones. pretty hilarious. i'm surprised he survived this whole trip. he sure is a trooper. haha wednesday: we just hung out all day. went to crispy cream and did some more shopping. then we played tennis that night. me and kar had to judge a science fair every morning at 9 so we couldn't spend the night with them every night. but after 12 we were free to do whatever!

Thursday: we didn't have anything to do all day! so we went to the park and just did whatever. we played soccer, tennis and listened to music. it was really fun. a relaxed and fun day. then that night we went to the BYU volleyball game which was fun to watch.

then after the volleyball game we went to Awful Waffle. it is sooo good! we got a crape and 2 waffles. and we sure did down those. they were amazingggg. haha

a lot of people think me and emma look really similar. so we decided to take a picture to document it! haha what do you think??

Friday: we went to Salt Lake all day!! it was super fun. on the ride we took millions of pictures. we went to the new mall in salt lake! City Creek. and it was soo cool! i loved it. then we went and walked around temple square and went to Hires with some extended family. which was great. then we went to the jazz game that night! we surprised hannah for her birthday. they were playing the sacramento kings which Jimmer plays on. hannah loves Jimmer so it was fun to go that game.




















when we told hannah about it. she was confused at first. but then she got it and was super excited.

he was excited. haha oh i forgot! this was for my dads birthday present too. he just knew about it. but we surprised him with the shirt! :)





then they left after that game. jami had a tennis match that next morning so thats why they had to leave. they ended up getting a flat tire which was sadddd. they didn't get home till 8 in the morning! sad day. but good thing my dad is a trooper! sorry that was really long. but it was such a good week!! i'm so glad i have such an amazing family and have so much fun with them!!
