Fisher turned three, and we celebrated his birthday by going to ride Thomas the Train, because Fisher is pretty much obsessed with him! I love Fish stick so much, he is one of my bestest buddies!
Micki, grandma marci, and me settling in to watch a movie after a hard day of hiking and playing in Moab!
These are my amazing young women wardies after our last basketball game. We killed the other team, and had a blast doing it! (Other than when I totally biffed it while there was nobody within 10 feet of me...) We wanted to intimidate the other team so micki and I decided to paint mustaches on everyone! It was a blast!
This winter I went sledding out in bountiful with my family and I brought one of my best friends along with me! Leesha and I have been friends for a while now, and I love her to death! We were totally meant to be sisters! I like our eyes in this picture, cause usually I don't think I have very pretty eyes, but I love this picture!
I recently had the exciting and exhausting (to put it mildly) experience of going chucker hunting with my dad, uncle carl, and his cousin Jay up above willard bay! To all of you who have never been chucker hunting but plan to... make sure you are prepared to conquer a mountain! No joke we hiked to the very top of the mountain (picture proof above) and then hiked down it through the treaturous terrain! I spent much of the time climbing up the mountain on my previously un-bruised knees and shins, and on the way down I was on my rear end most of the hike. I got to shoot my shotgun though and it really was very fun, I would definately reccommend it!
So Micki is pretty much the sweetest sister ever! I was getting ready for my choir concert one night and I was saying how sad I was because I have never recieved flowers from a boy (and I think that is so cute!) and then after my concert when I went to find my family micki was waiting with a gorgeous bouquet of roses! She isn't a boy but she is so cute and thoughtful! I'm very lucky to have her for my little sis!
In January we got together with the fam and celebrated mine, Micki's, Janes, and Cactus' birthdays! I am now sixteen (dating and driving what a blast!), and Micki is now 13 (welcome to the teenage years you lucky girl ;)! I am now in laurels and I enjoy that, but I can't believe how old I am getting (relief society here I come!). We went to sizzlers for our birthday which is super delicious! I am looking forward to this year of being sixteen, hopefully it will be all its cracked up to be!
Since I have such amazingly awesome and fun grandparents micki, hunter, and I were able to have our annual sleep-by-the-tree-with-grandma-sleepover. The next day we went to the elementary school and sledded down the hill there. We had a blast sledding, especially when we made our four people trains!
I love this picture because it shows how much micki loves taking pictures with me...*roll my eyes*. We had just sledded down the hill and I wanted to take a picture but I didn't like the first one I took so I asked micki for a re-take and this is what I got... haha don't worry I'm making sure micki is getting LOTS of practice with picture taking. ;)
This is my dad, Eric, and I up at the mine when we first got there! We had such a blast together, and we will hopefully (if Obama doesn't ruin it) get to go on many many more fun hunts together! Eric has been "entertaining" himself by working, cleaning out the garage, and winterizing the boat and trailor (which I am very sad about!), and being a fabulous dad of course!
Ow Ow, look at those hoochie mama's! Lisa and Wendi sure are gorgeous! Lately Wendi has been busy working, being a great mom, and cooking. We have tried to cook more at home instead of going out so much, and this made Wendi and the rest of the family kindof sad. The meals at home have been delicious though, and we've done pretty good about not eating out! Wendi has recently become a very trusty customer of scentsy, of which we have a bajillion different smells! I love them all! (except for a couple of the nasty ones)
This is Micki and I standing behind our displays for evening in excellence. Haha, and it was definately a night filled with nothing but excellence. :P Micki has been pretty much in heaven lately with all the Jazz games that have been on (who wouldn't be excited for a chance to check out very buff hotties playing basketball?!) She is sad that Dee Williams has been out of the game though, and she wants to see him out tearing up the court again soon!
Micki has been very busy doing homework! Her grades reflect her efforts too! She has also been walking around the neighborhood gathering donations for pennies-by-the-inch, because she's just so sweet like that! She enjoys walking to school every morning with four neighborhood boys (ow ow!), and she's had a ton of fun playing volleyball, and having family parties lately!
I went to homcoming, and thanks to Laura and Kathy's magic this is what I looked like! I had so much fun! Lately I have been studying my brains out, and doing tons and tons of fun chemistry and math homework! *rolling my eyes* If any of you understand chemistry let me know, cause I sure don't! My grades are finally getting a little bit better after missing a week of High School... I know I was crazy not to stay home, but oh well, Lake Powell is more memorable than math and history anyways right?!
