Name Change, but it's still us!

So I just realized my friend Katie, her tital of her blogspot is " The Cannon Clan"! Well ours was "The Collins Clan"! I'm sorry for accidentaly coping you Kaite! I changed ours to "The Collins Crew" so we didn't look like jerks I guess haha. 

Gabby Girl

My mom and dad's foster baby, Gabbriella came over on Saturday! We had so much fun, she wore me out though, I ended up taking a nap with her! She's so cute! We painted her nails pretty, she loved it! Apparently my mom had never done that before so she was excited! she was very still, I was surprised. 

Crazy kittens and Jake's tv!

Jake was so excited to put up the TV he won! He entered a free drawing on the Mat-Valley website and ended up winning the grand prize of a 60" DLP flat screen tv with stand! I swear he's the luckiest person I've ever known... I tried to sell it for a while but didn't get any serious offers so I gave in to the temptation and we opened it on Sunday afternoon. 
We got a kitten a couple months ago to keep me company while Jake goes on basket ball trips and hunting trip and thing that take him away from me...for some reason I feel safer if there is anothing living thing in the house whether it be a baby or kitten, I just feel safer. So here she is, she's so cute her name is Missy, she follows me everywhere I go in the house. I'm very thankful to Jake for letting me have her because he's always hated cats...but that just goes to show how much he loves me right!?

In the past few weeks...

Jake, Ben and Bill had so much fun together...They hadn't gotten to spend much time together in a long time..Amanda and I steered clear of them while they went off playing mob wars and the WII and taking walks, being guys..us girls had just as much fun "being girls" too.
Christmas at the Collins was so much fun...
My brother is crazy

Gabby, my mom's  foster baby, turned two right before Christmas. She loved her new kitchen and all the accesories that went to it! She's so cute...

YAY!!!!! Christmas!!!!!! haha, my dad is amazing...Our first Christmas together was wonderful luckily my parents went to Fairbanks Christmas Eve so we spent our "Pruitt Christmas" with them on Tuesday and we got to have a "Collins Christmas" on Christmas day. There was love, laughter, excitement, joy and thanksgiving...it was more than I could hope for. I am so thankful for our families I couldn't ask for better in-law's and Jake agrees.

  

I finally got the USB cord to hook up the camera to our computer so I can post now! This is our life right now, basket ball...I love going to the games I just  don't

love Jake being gone all the time to practices and away games. This picture was taken when we were in Juneau we lost..but it was a really great game!

While we were in Juneau we got to spend time with Bill, Amanda and Marie Williams...That trip was so much fun, we miss you guys!

Happy New Year!

Honestly I'm trying here...

I really would like to post more, but we don't have the cord we need to hook up the camera to the computer..and what's a blog without pictures!? We've looked for the cord everywhere! Last place we're going to look before we order one online is Best Buy, but we don't go into Anchorage very often. So don't worry...they're coming...HAPPY NEW  YEAR!
