Tea Par-tay!

So Kari the genius that she is came up with the idea to have a tea party! So Mom and I dug out from under one of the beds upstairs a tea set that I used to use when I was little. We set the table all cute as you can see. :) The tea set was quite small so I think I had about 20 cups of tea and in case you were wondering it was herbal. I found this cool recipe for rainbow cupcakes. I think that they turned out pretty good. They were of course gluten free and actually tasted quite good considering.

Taste the Rainbow!!!!! To make these is quite easy. Make a white cake mix as directed on the box and then divide the batter into six small bowls. Die each bowl a color of the rainbow and then pour into the muffin tins and...zam you have rainbow cupcakes! :)
And we watched Alice in Wonderland to top it off. I am pretty sure that it was the first time that I have seen that movie. Very interesting. (During the movie mom kept on saying, "The guy who wrote this was on crack!" Don't you just love her? :) )

Happy St. Patty's Day

Introducing Tanya...

So Tanya is one of my roomates. She is from Russia and a very intersting girl. She stays up all night and sleeps during the day. She has a really hard time getting up for classes in the morning even when they start at two in the afternoon. She made these signs and posted them on the ceiling above her bed so she would see them when her alarm goes off in the morning.

She reported later that they did not work. Ha ha ha. She is so funny.

Colbie Caillat Concert!!!

I have the best BEST FRIEND!!

Waiting for the concert to start.

COLBIE!!!

So the concert was SUPER good!!! Justin Young opeend for Colbie and he was a really good singer. In between one of the songs Colbie told us that she suffers from stage fright and she is always is wondering what we are thinking about her. Well I can tell you what I was thinking about her. That she is freaking AWESOME!!! I think it is so interesting that someone that is so famous can still be insecure. It just shows yout that celebrities are normal people to.

Blast Off!!!

So over the weekend I went down to Idaho Falls to visit Sheree and her family. On Saturday we went to Blast Off which is an indoor playground. The best way to describe it is that it is like the McDonalds play thingys but so much bigger and better!! Kelsey came too! There was a sign that read 12 and under only but we just ignored that. :) We spent a couple of hours crawling through tunnels, playing in ball pits and racing through obstacle courses. It was so much fun! I got a very nice bruise on my knee from all of the crawling around. Squeezing through some rollers. It was very tight. :)

They had a pretty big ball pit which was actually pretty deep and you could get burried pretty easily. We tried to not think about how unsanitary it was in there. :)


Kelsey and I racing through the obstacle course. I'm trying to slide down the steps because I didn't want to run over Daniel and Rebekah. Yes kelsey did win.... :(

My Semester Thus Far

I got to go home for Thanksgiving! Yay! Spencer, Kimberli, Melissa & Thomas were also able to make it. It was a great trip and I really didn't want to come back to freezing Rexburg, but I did.

My delicious ham. I don't like turkey so I always make my Dad cook a ham. :) I'm spoiled. Plus its not Thanksgiving if you dont have a little bit of Miss Piggy. :)
Kimberli & Mom made some very fancy and delicious pies.

Roasting mallows in the fireplace. :)

On Halloween weekend I went and visited my realatives in Idaho Falls. Wayne & Diane had a whole bunch of leaves in their yard so we raked them up and then jumped in them! It was so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa even joined in. :) Spencer (Clark Kent) took some awesome air in his sweet Superman oufit! :)

It was so much fun jumping in the leaves and watching all of the little kids jumping. I fit right in. :)

Kelsey came and visited me in October. Ashley came over to help Kelsey and I get ready for a group date and then on Sunday we went to dinner at Ashley's.

I went horseback riding for the first time ever! It was way fun and relaxing! My horse was named Wimpy and he was a lot of fun!

Over conference weekend I went and stayed with my cousin Sheree in Idaho Falls. She had just had a baby a few weeks before so I got to see baby Hannah! She is so cute!!!
