To Grandmother's House We Go...

So we try and go visit Grandma and Grandpa every Sunday for a nice visit. Barb and her family usually join us too. We all crammed into Grandma's small apartment one time and it was quite cozy. ;) The next Sunday we decided to go to Barb's house which is really close to Grandma's so we had to pick up grandma and grandpa. Since we wouldn't all fit this was the result. I layed across everyone's lap so Grandma and Grandpa could fit in. Luckily it was a short drive. :)

Senior Cotillion

Kortney getting her hair done!
Ta da! So Beautiful!!!

Big flower!!

We shopped till we dropped to find this dress. Most of the dresses these days are short and when you are really tall then they are SUPER short. We finally found this dress which I really liked!

A Friday Night (5/20)

So we played a little Blink, which is a very fun, very fast pased game. Marisa, Mommy Annette and I played. I liked it but it was very hard to win. I just wasn't fast enough!!! Marisa is a pro!
I finally won and I did my little victory and Annette thought it was so funny that she wanted to take a picture. My dance invovled me moving my arms up and down.

So Kortney had a date this night and the rest of the family had to go to some wedding receptions. Roy asked me to take his place in opening the door for her date and giving him a good talking to. He came to the door and I opened it with the nerf gun!!! It was hilarious. He has never seen me before and looked really nervous. I kept a straight face long enough to say "Can I help you?" Then he got all nervous and asked for Kortney and I busted up laughing. It was great!!!

Uncle Roy decided to pelt us with Tyler's nerf gun that was lying around while we were playing cards.

The paper chain Marisa and I made to countdown the days until she leaves for the MTC. It is actually a lot shorter now. Only 25 days!!! Ahhh!!!

My Missionary

My cousin Marisa is going on a mission! She got her call a week ago today and she will be serving for 18 months in the......Florida Orlando Mission! I am so excited for her. I'm going to try and write to her regularly but we will see how that goes since my last cousin I think I only wrote once. Marisa leaves June 22 which is 35 days away! I'm freaking out. What am I going to do for 18 months without her. We have become very close living together and I am going to miss her a lot. I have two other cousins that are serving missions too. My cousin Eric is currenlty in the MTC and is going to India and my other cousin Chelsea is going to Iowa in July. So many missionaries! :)

Kortney Marie

My cousin Kortney is a Senior in High School. I can't believe it. She is sucha cutie! She got her Senior pictures taken and I decided to tag along for the fun. I took a few pictures myself.
A cute little alley way.

Graffiti

The photographer was pretty good at finding good backgrounds. I really liked this one. In the ones he edited he really made the green door pop in the background.

Mommy and Me

The two of us together. Besties!

I got to help out.

My sad attempt at trying to pretend to be a photographer. :)

Kelsey is Married!!

The happy couple coming out of the Portland Oregon Temple. Kelsey and Eric were married on April 12.

The beautiful bride

They had their reception at Grange Hall in La Center. This is the very cool sign that Kj made for the occasion. Isn't she gifted! The silhouettes even look like them.

I got to see the McClellans at the reception. They are getting so big! Maddy is up to my chin now! I love these kids so much!

Kelsey and I. I was just looking through her professional wedding pictures and it is just hitting me that she is actually married and that things will never be the same. I even teared up a bit.

Kelsey's sweet shoes which are Tom's by the way.

Jaywalking

The city of Rexburg decided to put up this sign to prevent students from jaywalking from Sunrise apartments to campus. Do you think that this really stopped anyone? Not really, now instead everyone just walks around the sign. You can even see that the grass is worn down right around the sign. The crosswalk is WAY down the sidewalk. About where that car on the street is. Realistically is any lazy college student going to walk the extra distance. No. Ha ha.
