Springtime in '09

Happy Spring Break everyone!! yay!
Well, right before spring break I was smart enough to break my face...my nose actually. I was on a date with my friend Kraig, and we went to the tumbling gym in provo. It was a lot of fun!! They have this huge foam pit and we were stacking up blocks and jumping over them and through the circle ones, etc.etc. Well after jumping through the circle ones a few times we decided to see after we got through the circle, how many times we could flip before we hit the foam pit. :) Unfortunately when I landed in the pit, my knee decided to become friends with my face. :( It immediately started bleeding and my nose swelled up like a balloon.
Luckily Kraig was cool about it and we went to dinner, yummy Cafe Rio! We also watched James Bond=very good night.

Spring Break was tons of fun. Tyson and I made mom and dad take us to the Planetarium and the Aquarium!!! AND TyD had his first Cafe Rio meal! We were so proud of him.
TyD and I also went Bowling on friday, and we saw the movie "Push"...not so bad, but basically the same thing as the "Jumper" movie. On Saturday Kimbra and I went SHOPPING! at the Gateway, and then we hung out at Tom's house. We didnt get home til 3am, but we had so much fun!!! Im so glad that its finally warm outside!!

Although I hear its not going to last, which makes me sad....but Im going to enjoy it while it lasts...also two of my bestest married friends AL AND NISHA are back from CALIF and Im so excited to see them again! yay! I missed you guys! School is AWESOME! I totally love it! Even when I dont have clients we still have fun (I need more clients! Anyone want a hair cut/color/weave/perm/etc.???) hah. But this lovely twisty corn-row picture is what happens when I get bored at school! hah

Well I've got to run, Ellie just woke up and her molars are coming in, so she's not a very happy little girl, poor thing.

Catching up

Okay, so I realize that I haven't blogged in a few months and I apologize, however I have been fairly busy. School is AWESOME right now! Tomorrow I take my written test to get out of O.R. and then the practical is on Tuesday. Im SO nervous for the written though, I've never been a very great test taker....so we'll see how that goes. But if I actually pass then I'll be SO excited to finally be out on the floor!!! I've started going country dancing again, and I totally love it! I go every Wednesday now, and I have the time of my life!! If you've never been, I highly recommend it! We have a lot of fun! Other then that,.....Im just going to school, working (I LOVE Nathan and Ellie, they are the best kids ever, and now that its getting warm Im so excited to do fun activities OUTSIDE! can you say....cabin fever?), dancing, and dating. :) although the last one isnt proving to be very successful....I still have a lot of fun with it. hah Anyway, thats about all I have time for because FOR ONCE this week, its actually warm and sunny outside! Im off to study at the park! xoxo

Hey everyone, I know its been a while since I've blogged about anything, but I've been super busy. And I still have yet to post pictures because my computer is retarded and hates me. However I will try to fix that sometime in the near future.
In the time being, I have discovered something that is amazingly hilarious! It is my daily comic strip basically. Its called whymormongirlsstaysingle.blogspot.com
read it.
love it.
and if it offends you then I think you need to take a chill pill because I think its quite humorous.
Now. I'VE FINALLY STARTED SCHOOL! Yay! And its SO much fun. I absolutely love it! I am so glad I finally decided to start, because school rocks! Anyway, thats about all the new news I have so far. I know my life isnt to exciting right now. Just work and school. Ellie and Nathan are fantastic! I love them both....although I think I've watched Shrek 3 times this week..maybe more?

Test 1, 2, 3.

Hello Hello? Did this actually work? Im not sure if I made the "Private" thing right. haha so if it actually worked, someone let me know...if not...I guess I'll try again. Anyway January has been SO much fun for me! For 1, I LOVE that the snow is sticking!!!! haha it hasnt snowed in a while, and yet we still have a ton of snow! I just love the white! 2. I found out some interesting facts that made me smile and laugh. It turns out that Taylor Cooper and Jordan Allen lived like 4 houses away from me when I lived in Orem as a kid!!! NO WAY! Oh it gets cooler, Taylor's mom taught me preschool, she taught me how to write my name! precious! And then get this, the Coopers leave, and JORDAN'S family moves into no other then the COOPER'S house! haha isnt that crazy? I love it.
Also, Shane went into the MTC TODAY!!! Im so happy for him! He's going to Germany! yay! thats awesome! On monday we had a huge going away party for him! (I'll post pictures later) It was a blast, and we had SO many people there! Basically this new year rocks. I can tell its totally going to be a PaRtY year! and Im super excited! Anyway, I hadnt posted anything in a while and thought I'd say a little blurp while Ellie finished watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (her new favorite) haha.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! Love you all!

Going Private.....

Hey everyone, Im joining the crew! As of January 12th 2009 (oh my gosh its so weird to write that!) My blog will be private!! So you know the drill, if you want to be accepted into the privateness then send me your email! Thanks a ton and I hope everyone had a very Happy New Year!
Yay for 2009!!!

Its a winter wonderland after all!

I am SO happy that the snow is finally sticking!! I absolutely LOVE it! Sometimes driving is a pain, and its really cold when you get snow in your shoes or down your shirt, etc. But other then that, snow is WONDERFUL and I love it so much!! Im so excited for this weekend! Although John is leaving on Wednesday to go back home, I am planning on having an excellent holiday vacation! Lots of time playing in the snow, and then recovering in front of the fire. :)
(doesnt that sounds splendid?)
Anyway, last week Ellie and I made cupcakes together, it was a blast!! She is so flipping adorable. We had Christmas music playing and we decorated them with trees and stars and red and green....and blue, Im not sure why we did blue, but the chef wanted to, so we did. So here are some pictures of our wonderful baking experience. (ps. I promise she licked the whisk AFTER the cupcakes were baking. hehe)



On Sunday John and I went up to SLC to see the lights at Temple Square! It was SO awesome, and freezing. Naomi, Mary, and Naomi's brothers, and then some of her friends met us up there. They were having concerts in just about every building. North and South visiting centers, the Tabernacle, and the Assembly Hall. We walked around and listened in each one, and then went to go see the Christus. But oh my heavnes, I just LOVE this time of year, and I absolutely adore Christmas lights! It makes me wonder though, who puts all those lights around the trees? Have you ever looked closely? The lights go around every single branch. I'd probably get done with one tree and throw my hands up surrenduring. I dont think I could do it, so props to whoever decorates Temple Square, its awesome. Also, what do you think the electric bill is for all those lights? I bet its outrageous. ..It kind of makes me glad I dont have to worry about it, but very grateful that we can still have the lights!! I love them!! Anyway, enough from me today, Ellie just woke up so Im going to go play downstairs as we watch the Imagination Movers!

Thanksgiving + Family Reunion

Thanksgiving was SO much fun!!! We had an absolute blast! Here are some pictures from the weekend. It was so great to see everyone!

Jumpin' Jacks

Ellie and I went to Jumpin' Jacks the other day because Nathan had another surgery so Steph told me to get her out of the house. We had a BLAST! Here are a few pictures from our journey. :)

I do not like.....

Okay now people, dont get mad at me. This is my blog and therefore I can say whatever I want. Now, having said this, I would like to express my deepest disappointment in the movie Twilight. I thought it was absolutely terrible. I went to the midnight movie on Thursday, and I seriously wanted to slit my wrists and do push ups in salt water. That's how much I did NOT enjoy this movie. They left very important scenes out, didnt follow the book, it was super cheesy, Edward was like...ew creepy stalker psycho, and he's ugly, I did not picture the Cullens like that, and the acting totally sucked. It was like an independant film.
Anyway I think I was the only girl in that whole theater (and there were many girls) who did not like the show. BUT I also think Im one of the few girls in the world who doesnt like chocolate either. So oh well. I just really really hated that movie. It totally ruined the books.
But....we took some fun picutres! AND Denisha made me an ADORABLE bandana. Basically she's amazing. hehe. :)
