Friendly Competition!

Well, guess what time of the year it is! BACHELORETTE time! 

That's right, last night ABC's the Bachelorette premiered and lets be honest, it looks like a great season.

 In order to kick it off, we decided to have a little friendly competition. I thought I would extend to invitation to all of my faithful readers (if there are any!) to join. 

Here are the rules. 

You have to watch the season premiere and pick your top TWO choices of who you think the winner will be. Let's find out who has the best judgment with love at first sight! If you would like to enter, leave a comment, text or call and tell me your votes by Sunday the 29th. I will be posting the list Monday morning and then after each Monday night updating to see who picks the winner! 

Hope you all decide to join in!

Babysitting

Why am I the best babysitter ever? Because we go get Sundaes and have big Dance Parties! Even as I'm typing everyone is dancing around me in the kitchen. Party!

Creme Brulee

Last night we made Creme Brulee. We used a torch and everything (thanks Hil and Jord for the Birthday present)! I have to say, I was pretty pleased with the results. See for yourself.

Delish.

The Voice.

It's official. I'm obsessed with this show already! Watch, you'll love. Promise.

Finals

I have a love hate relationship with these. I love them because it means the semester is over! I hate them because it means I have to spend hours and hours studying - and I have the attention span of a gold fish (hence why I'm blogging).

However, I have had some really good ideas with how to spend my time for the summer. I want to be as productive as I can. Some of these plans include work out schedules, practicing cooking (contradictory?!) and writing music.

I am definitely looking forward to next Thursday when I am HOME in Idaho for a tiny minute with NO homework and nothing to stress about for a good five days! I just need to keep looking forward! ALMOST THERE!

Just 5 finals to go….

Best. Day. Ever.

Today my Geometry teacher surprised me with the 

BEST. NEWS. EVER. 

Her daughter 

(a tiny cute super jeopardy genius) 

was there at school! 

Even better… she let us meet her! 

Ali and I got her autograph. 

We also took some pictures with her! 

I don't remember the last time we were that excited! 

Here they are!

Aria signing autographs for Ali and me!

Aria and Me! 

Emily, Me, Ali, Bethany, Joan, Rose and Aria. So cute! 

Emily, Me, Ali, Bethany, Becca, Rose, Aria

Seriously the two cutest girls ever! She couldn't tell us how she did, but she was so dang cute I'm sure she had to have won! Can't wait till July 4th to find out!

Discovery

Lately I have found something out that I should have realized literally YEARS ago. When you stay on campus and try hard to study - YOU GET THINGS DONE!

I know what you are thinking… but I promise it's true. In the past four days I've gotten more done than I've even thought possible. In my free time I've found time play a lot of basketball and watch even more Grey's Anatomy. I also learned how to freeze broccoli for up to a year and I've cooked some decent meals. 

Why did I not figure this out years ago!

Pazookie Night!

Last night was my second official "Pazookie Night" (the first one was attached to my Miss America Party!) This one was intended for IF people (quite a few of them were already busy…) We made pazookies and then just talked for a little bit. It was way fun, and really fattening. Ice cream choice - Chocolate Peanut butter. Yum. Here is a picture of a few of us that were there!

Drought

Wow, I have not blogged in a long time. I think it had to do with setting the blog to private, I just lost motivation. Also - there hasn't been very many crazy things happening since I've just been getting in to the swing of school. Hopefully I can make up for lost time soon enough! Check back soon...

It's Official...

I'm the worst studier that ever lived. I'm sitting in the Library, and I have been here for 3 hours. I've only managed to choke down 4 math sections and a take home test. Probably about 1/4 of what I should have done by now. So what do I do? Blog :)

Here is a little bit of what has been happening in the past little while…

Winter has officially turned my hands in to those of an 80 year old Grandma. Pretty gross, and painful. BUT, what can you do?

Please look at this picture… More specifically look at (scroll down)

THIS part of this picture! Yes, I made this … and I'm kind of proud of it! Jared was nice enough to sport it at church this Sunday.

Lastly, Ali and I were getting ready for bed last night. I just had to laugh at our PJ's. Classy, right?!

Now, to pretend like I'm studying again...

Competition.

So, this Thanksgiving we decided to start a new little tradition competition. 

What is it you ask? Oh… just a flexibility competition. 

Was it a tiny bit unfair since we have a ballerina, a dance depot team member and two former cheerleader/drill teamers? 

Well, you can judge that for yourself. 

Let's just say we were pleasantly surprised by how flexible some of the adults are! 

Here are the pictures from the event.

from youngest to oldest…

BELLA! (aka Bella Button)

Saylor! (a competitor)

Savannah! (the team dancer)

Remi! (the ballerina)

Ali (I was trying to make my arm and my leg bend equally, mission accomplished :) )

Uncle Cory! (the sleeper)

Aunt Stefani! (former drill teamer)

Dad! (never seizes to impress… or make us laugh)

Jordan! (his legs might be the longest… ha)

Hilary! (more laughing than lifting)

Mom! (former cheerleader)

Grandma!!! (she wanted to compete too!)

Overall, I think the tradition is a keeper!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to HILARY! 

My most favorite older sister I've ever had! 

Hope your day is perfect, you deserve it! 

LOVE YOU

NERD

This past week or so I've been staying up a little past my bed time to read a book. This seems mostly nerdy, but it is a big deal. I always get up before 6 a.m. so staying up any later than I have to, mostly not worth it. For this however, totally worth it!

I finally finished the 3rd Fablehaven book! I am in love with these books. They are very quick, entertaining reads that are just pure fun. If you don't believe me… try it yourself!

T. Swift

Am I obsessed with this CD?

Maybe a little. 

Best music I've heard in a while. LOVE all the songs. Especially number 3. 

BUY. LISTEN. 

you won't regret it

The Social Network

Last night wasn't a good night. So what did I do? Went to see a movie about friends. Yes I saw The Social Network. Can I just say how awesome this movie was!? The story line was so easy to get into and I literally watched the whole thing (which is a big deal because I lose attention pretty fast). The only thing that I was disappointed in was that it was rated PG-13 and it was pretty inappropriate. There were a lot of scantily dressed girls and the swearing was not necessary. With out those to massive flaws, this could have been a very aw-inspiring movie. 

The lesson I learned from it was don't short yourself of anything in life. We are capable of incredible things. When things seem like they aren't going well, there is always some way to make them 100% better. Life is going to be hard, but it is up to us individually to make it great.

A. Ali

Can you even handle how precious and tiny these two are!?
