Our January

Our January has been very busy hence the lack of posting and January is ending in 2 two days.

Adam started school on the 6th and he taking 2 classes. Chemistry and Geology both have labs he has to be there for as well. He loves the Geology but hates the Chemistry. I would too. Jett turned 7 months old on the 16th and I remembered to snap some pictures of him.

  they are BFFs

  Jett is the most active little guy who loves to play and is just happy all the time.

He is getting to be more of a cuddle bug and loves ears. He hardly ever wines and rarely barks.

He loves his sister more than ever.

He loves to chase anything and is constantly following me around.

He loves to sleep against something with is legs in the air.

He is very competitive and wants anything Nala has no matter if it's the same thing or not.

He is the cutest thing and he is getting better at  licking and not biting.

We love him!!

Adam left town for business on the 14th and was gone for 7 days to Wyoming.

He worked like a crazy person and was exhausted when he returned.

Jett was neutered on the 27th and has to wear his new accessory for 7-10 days but we take it off so he won't go insane. He forgets he has it on sometimes and runs into things. Poor guy!

We found out he weighs 35.7lbs

Our dogs sitter who usually comes over during the day to play with the pups quit and her last day was the 20th so we have been putting the dogs in daycare twice a week. They both love it to pieces and it gives them a lot more exercise and fun. 

I finished reading this book:

and I'm going start this one soon:

We've been to these movies this month

LOVED THEM ALL

The weather so far this winter has not been to shabby!!

January has been a great month for the Collet Clan..now on to February.. 

Year In Review..2011

When you think about a year in the present you often think of it being a long time but when you are looking in the past you can't believe all that has happened and all the things that have changed.


I have spent days working on this post. Wondering what to write, how to put into words our year and this is all I could come up with.

I have changed more in this year then in any year past and sometimes I am not sure what direction I am going and who I am trying to become. I try day by day to figure that out and as of right now I am still a work in progress. I know that life is ever changing but sometimes it changes more than you could have ever expected.


{Here is our 2011}



2011 was such a life changing year that it's hard to put into words how I feel about it. I don't think I have ever been so happy for a year to end in my life. It has been such a life changing year for both Adam and I. It has been such a roller coaster of things from the beginning of the year with Adam leaving the church to going to Florida for our anniversary to Disneyland with Hollie and Steve to welcoming Jett into our family to Nala turning 2 to Adam changing jobs twice and going on his first business trip to becoming an Aunt and Uncle to an adorable nephew to seeing Cali and Jordan leave on missions to Adam's sister Sara getting married to being able to spend my birthday with my Dad for the first time ever to taking Ember to the aquarium and Chuck E Cheese to welcoming Jacob and Lucy into our family to buying our first car together to having Thanksgiving at our house to Adam's sister Erin getting her mission call to the Czech/Slovakian area to seeing the American Idols in concert to our first ever camping trip being married to finishing our fence to many date nights together to many midnight movies to many outings with friends to spending every holiday and birthday together to lots of laughs and lots of new memories shared and created.
