The BEST

That last post was pretty awful. I am making up for it with this sweet little gem. The BEST.

(She really does love kisses!)

The WORST

Literally the WORST thing I have ever seen. She thinks she is a bad butt? Are we kidding?

18 for the 4th Time!!!

My posts are pretty sporadic, I am sorry, but that's what happens when you don't blog for 9 months. It was my 22nd birthday last month, but if anyone asks, I just turned 18. My mom decided to throw me a party (best mom ever!). We went BOWLING (I got 2nd place) and ate hot dogs (minus the bun for me!). My mom also set up a shrine to me in the kitchen/living room. Pictures of me EVERYWHERE! It was beautiful if I do say so myself. And the best part? The Lo shrine stayed up for 4 days!

The Birthday Gang (Can you see baby Gracie?)

Best. Presents. Ever.
(Harry Potter wand, authentic and Harry Potter Snuggie!!)

*Editors Note: The next day I got Harry Potter Clue from Hill-dawg and Gemma. I didn't even ask for Harry Potter themed gifts, my friends are just THE BOMB!!!!

Ssssssssdop it.

Blake is HOME.

Let the fighting, guilt-tripping, movie watching, car fixing, baby kissing, fro-yo eating, ho-cho drinking, laughing games BEGIN!

Merry HAPPY!

It's Christmas time again already?! Man, this year just flew by.... I was thinking about it today and something hit me. This time last year I was on the beach in Hawaii, soaking up the sun and getting as much vitamin D as I could. This year? I am staying inside my house, sipping ho-cho, and looking at the snow fall...I miss Hawaii but being home is wonderful! And thank heavens for Harry Potter Snuggies to keep me warm!

Last Year...Sun.

This Year...Snow.

A Little Late...But Worth It.

Happy Halloween! It's a little late but since I am behind on blogging, I forgive myself. I dressed up as a dentist! Specifically, my dentist brother Blake. I went trunk or treating at my ward Halloween party. It was great fun seeing all the kids in my primary class dressed up! Don't worry, I reminded everyone to brush and floss!

Makes my day...

This semester has been full of long days of school and/or work. But lucky for me, I get to come home to THIS everyday....Jealous? I think so.

My Guilty Pleasure

I know, I know....What am I thinking? But I have to admit, the Kardashians FASCINATE me. I love their show and their family! This is their Christmas card. Ridiculous, no? But I love it anyway. Definitely, my guilty pleasure.

It has been a long time my friend...

WOW.

I really have not blogged in a LONG time. I guess I have just been way busy, and by that I mean lazy. But since it's Christmas Vacation now and I am already sick of watching A Christmas Story, wrapping presents and eating candy canes, why not update my blog?
Here are the highlights of my year:

1. Jobless until February!
2. Finally got a job! Being a nanny!
3. San Francisco for Blake's White Coat! (I LOVE that city)
4. Jobless again!
5. ELENA! (Born July 21st)
6. Got another Job! (Dippidee, a place of SWEET surprises!)
7. Bowling Birthday party! (Sweet presents included all things Harry Potter)
8. GRACIE! (Born November 23rd)
9. Blake home for Thanksgiving! (and Christmas!)
10. FINISHED 1st SEMESTER AT UVU! (although not without many complaints...)

Overall my year was...fine. Not great, not bad. Kinda lost all of my motivation for life at the beginning there, but I am regaining it...slowly but surely. Once I got my job and started school my life was pretty busy. Sorry to all my friends I have neglected! I will try to be better. Best thing of the year? MY NIECES! They are the best! I have gotten to spend a lot of time with Elena. She loves me, just ask her. And I am sure as soon as Gracie opens her eyes long enough to see me, she will love me just as much! In conclusion of my first post in FOREVER, I wish all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

My Family- MERRY CHRISTMAS

My Best Friends

The SWEETEST!!!!
