Pranking

So one our favorite things to do is prank call people. I can't do it because I can't keep a straight face...but I've always had roommates that are willing and really good at it. Here's my old roommate pranking a guy in our ward. She started off singing happy birthday to random people, but then we decided to switch it up a bit..She is HILARIOUS. At the beginning of the phone call she said hello, this is Gladys...but it got cut off..

Orchestra concert

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE orchestra! It is my favorite class ever! It is such an amazing feeling to play with an orchestra. I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to do this every semester and that my parents have always been supportive of me playing.


My teacher, Brother Call

Spencer, Steph, Shayla, Kassi, Amber, and Brad..My fan club!!

My stand partner Susannah..we got off to a rocky start because she called me old. Yeah, not cool. haha She's only 17 so I guess I'm old to her. I really love her though.

Every semester there is a music major that has to have the experience of conducting an orchestra..this is Job(pronounced, hob-long 0) conducting. I learned a lot from him.

Thanksgiving

I had a week off from school so my parents sent me to my sister megan's house in Michigan! I just love her! It was fun to stay up late and reminisce. One night we all played Ticket to Ride while watching THE dumbest movie, "Third Wish". (Remember that, Megan?) Madeleine is so sweet and loves to be read to- at any time! I loved reading to her! She's a cutie!

Last day. ):

New Moon night..corny, but better than the first.

Punkin pie. mmmm!

Her beautiful lemon meringue pie.

HAHA! She kept sneaking pieces of bread!

Her eyes are open! Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles..

NACHOOOOO!

Kassi decided to dress up like a luchador (a.k.a. wrestler). I'd say she did a pretty good job.

I love this.

We're just silly

One night on the way to the guy's apartments we stopped and frolicked in the park.

HAHA

One Smart Cookie

My niece Madeleine is a smart little thing and knows her alphabet at a mere two years of age. [Love her].

my girls

oh stephanie!

First of all, my sister Stephanie is funny. Just funny. The other day as we were sitting out in the sun a fly landed on her pale leg and this is what she said: "it probably reminds him of a lightbulb"... she wasn't even trying to be funny. Love her.

Ode to Forever 21

Alaska just got a Forever 21. Two words: FAVORITE STORE.

Confusion

So I am in need of a slip for this white skirt I have. The white slip I have is too long, so what better place to look for one that at Walmart? They have everything right? Wrong-o.

I asked the lady working in the women's department if she could help me find a slip. Well she was all kinds of confused! This was an older lady(60s) mind you, so I thought she would very well know what a slip is. I tried to do my best at explaining that I had a skirt that was see-through so I needed a slip to put underneath it. I explained what kind of material they're made of and everything. Well this poor lady thought I meant leggings. Um no, not quite..THEN she takes me to another older lady and she tries to explain to this lady what I'm looking for, but really the only thing that comes out is that I have a skirt that's see-through! Good heavens people! So the other lady proceeds to tell me that they have some skirts over there that are short and that the girls like to wear these days...NO no no! I once again tried to explain myself(I just knew that Walmart had them!) and try to prove to these women that I am not some kind of you know what. The lady ended up telling me that no we don't have slips and that they've had trouble with them in the past. huh? She told me to try the thrift store. Once again..??????? haha I just shouldn't have brought up the see-through thing I guess.

Shelley, IDAHO

Shayla is from Shelley Idaho and it's a beautiful place. Idaho holds a special place in my heart.
Barley fields forever...

HUGE tire

Orchestra friends

These were my fellow "orc dorks". Okay, that's corny but we'd call ourselves that in Middle School. I love these girls and I love orchestra!

Happy Birthday to Megan!

I just want to reminisce for a minute.

It is my sister Megan's (and her husband Nate!! Happy Birthday to him!) birthday today and I miss her all the time!

Megan:

Do you remember when I was in middle school and you were in High School and you brought me a note? Just a simple little note, but I loved it AND I still have it. I was so proud of you.

Do you remember when you got mad at me because my barbies would take over our room? You had good reason. You drew an imaginary line down the middle of our beds too! HA HA

Do you remember when you, Katherine, and I went to the Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw concert? Priceless memory right there. Even though I did have to pay for my ticket and you and Katherine got tickets from Bill Gates. Hmm...

Do you remember when you would throw pillows at me during the night because I "breathed heavily" and then had mom take me to the doctor to get checked? YEAH. I think this is the funniest thing now. I'm sorry for any sleepless nights you had.

Do you remember when you would try and staighten or "scrunch" my hair? It never worked, but thanks for stepping in and trying. Fellow thick, wavy hair-ers unite!

Remember all the really cool, hip hairstyles you and I have ever had? Yeah, they aren't really that cool. I love how everytime you get you hair cut I want mine cut and I do it and vice versa.

Do you remember when I came to stay with you for a week at BYU? SO FUN! And that guy told me I looked older than his girlfriend? And I went bowling with you, Nate, and Scott Herd? Oh and Steve would come over and watch movies with me everyday while you were at school. That's kind of weird now that I think about it. And that guy Eric called me a "mini megan". Cute.

Do you remember when you had a soap opera with your barbies and you wouldn't let me play so I sat on your bed and watched? It was fascinating. It's where I learned how to really play with Barbies.

Do you remember when Katherine, Steph, and you and I all bought the shoes with the flower but you couldn't decide if you wanted pink or black so you bought both? I love that.

Do you remember when you, Kat and I would make and sell cotton candy at the Hospital on base? Good times, man. And remember how that guy told dad he was a little concerned that I would lick my hands after stuffing the cotton candy into the bag. That's pretty gross.

Remember when I came to visit your cute family for Thanksgiving? It was a good time. I love being with you guys!

Remember how I cried SO hard when you got married? I really didn't think I would see you again..haha Nate said something like, It's not like I'm never going to let you see her again..haha oh I love him!

I love you Megan! You're the most thoughtful, caring, funny, beautiful person! And might I add- Stylish! Yes, very stylish!

P.S. I really wish I had good pics of us..not that these pictures aren't smokin hot or anything!

The birthday couple!

Beauties

I found these beautiful flowers on campus. I couldn't resist taking their pictures. I just love flowers! I think that must come from my mother. She loves them and knows the name of every one!

These are my favorite.

DEMOLITION DERBY

So the demolition derby is one of the most entertaining/bizarre things I've ever seen. Being surrounded by hicks really set the atmosphere. It was great. I went with Shayla, her little sister, and that guy behind us-Travis. Sadly, none of my other roomies cared to see the blessed event.

College students like to be funny and dress up like rednecks for the occasion. I thought this group looked pretty good.

Cool fake mullet I saw. I saw some real ones too, but couldn't get a pic. That would be rude I guess.

You know, gotta take pictures of everything.

Glenn Beck was in this car, that's right people, GLENN BECK. I don't really know who he is, but I know he's a mormon convert and lots of people think he's funny.

Each of the cars were introduced and lined up for all to see.

Cool "Batmobile". I like this one.

It was super muddy out there and this is after one round or demolition: The big old tow trucks had to come get the losers out of the mud. No second round for them.

This car was a TROOPER! It was still going even though it looked like this: Oh and not to worry! We have the sherriff on hand!
