holly jolly




 Christmas Eve dinner
 I got just a tad carried away with wrapping this year...

 Still leaving cookies and milk out for Santa. And don't forget the carrots for the trusty reindeer.

 Lucy's successful Christmas
 Makin' my way to the 'big' table. No longer sitting at the counter:) Obviously I'm a little too excited.
 After Lucy ran away again on Christmas night, sleeping outside all by her lonesome, we decided to get her a tag. It's hot pink and she loves it. On it it reads, "If Lucy has gone exploring, please call her concerned family at..." Lucy loved her Christmas present.
I hope you all had a holly jolly Christmas! While I drove to the dentist this morning, it wasn't even 10 and it was already 50 degrees outside.... in the winter... in Idaho... Anyone wanna go wakeboarding today?

boy.

So I've been meaning to put this up for a while but I promised Jake that I would dedicate a post to him. So here you go Jake Thibault. I'm proud to declare you the first male to check out my blog... that I know of.

Anyways, today I went to the basketball game and we won, way to go boys. The best part about it was at the end our student section started chanting, "If you're winning and you know it clap your hands-clap, clap-", and so on, and then they went on to sing, "If you're losing and you know it clap your hands". They then pointed to the other school and the students clapped. I thought it was pretty creative, and funny. Anyways, that made my day a positive one. Oh and Jake, you make every day positive.... haha.

This is Jake really getting all he can out of his scriptures in Seminary.

totes faves.

This post is dedicated to Summer Ann Moffat. I hope that it will totes make her hap hap. It's a list of my fave things, as inspired by Sum. I will start this post with a quote, provided by Summer.
"hahahahah thats totes awes.

And now, for my favorite things.

My favorite round shaped fruit is a coconut.

My favorite name that I will one day name my daughter is Nermal, because it is the closest name to normal. She will braid her hair, knit herself sweaters, and have a pony.


My favorite outfit to wear.


My favorite t-shirt.
(if you can't see it, it reads "A family that stays together, preys together", and has a beautiful picture of a bear feasting on a man with the bear cubs nearby).


My movie star crush is Jack Black, but mostly just Nacho. Is he single?

My favorite time to eat hot dogs.... midnight. I always crave them around that hour for some reason.


 My favorite smell is hands down the post office... the one in Eagle though.


And my favorite youtube video goes to.......... this wonderful young man. Well it's my favorite at the moment.


Wow, I am a strange person.
