It has been fairly nice weather and Tyler, his friend Geoff, Lucky and I went up Hyrum Canyon and played catch and in the river! It was so much fun! Geoff is a photographer man so he snapped a few cute shots of Tyler and I. Don't worry, they are not engagements or anything!


I think my computer is being so silly! I can't find how to change the font and color of my letters and stuff...so you just get the same ol' same ol' over and over again! For Easter we all went to St. George for the annual 'FUN IN THE SUN' Easter getaway :) It was really nice weather for the most part, and I even got to go to Cedar and hang out with my friend Meggan and then to Tylers house for more fun and car work! Tyler painted his car black and red, it looks really nice! It has been great to be able to hang out with Tyler so much, especially in the sun! It was fun to be with the younger generation of the family too, they are all growing up and are so much fun!


Its getting to be the end of the school year at Utah State...and I am so happy that I am not worrying about finals right now and having to do homework!! :) I have been going to a lot of end of year banquets, however, and a lot of my favorite people will be graduating!! This is a picture of my Transfer Ambassadors. I LOVE USU AMBASSADORS!


My wonderful parents let me and my friend Kaylie take the Jazz tickets! I love the Utah Jazz and wish them luck against the Lakers...even though I know it would be a miracle if they pulled this one off! GO JAZZ! :)
This is all pretty old news but for the Priesthood session all of us girls went to Market Street Grill for dinner! This is the best part of Conference Weekend every 6 months! Of course I love to hear the apostles speak too :) I love being with the girls! And little Braxton...although he hates being with the girls. We had a good fun time and then went shopping! I am so blessed to have such wonderful examples in my life! I LOVE YOU GIRLS!

Reunitation!


I finally got to see all of my Snow College friends!!! Shawnee is ready to have her baby boy and was having a baby shower, so we decided to have a slumber the night before! I have not seen them in a long time, so it was so exciting! I have not seen Maddie since before her mission! We all stayed at Jills house and talked and talked and talked :) We also went on a mission to find Twilight..don't worry, 8 red boxes and they were sold out! Thank goodness for Blockbuster!! I LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!

Road Trip!


Buff and I went to Arizona to visit her old school! It was a lot of driving but SO much fun! As you can see we got kind of bored in the car... :) We also stopped at the Hoover Dam which I have never been too! And we saw President Kimballs house where he grew up in...right there in the town of Thatcher! It was so hot there, and hard to come back to this crappy Utah weather!!!


When I got back to the good ol' USA my family took me to St. George! It was nice weather and so much fun! My niece Addie is getting so big, and she is so much fun to play with! All of the girls went to Vegas to shop, go to dinner, and go to the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!! It was so cool! What a good weekend with the fam :)

Welcome to the Jungle...








After Ecuador I had the opportunity to go to the Yachana Lodge in the Amazon! It was such a cool experience! We flew to Cokee in an airplane that was really small! We then took a jungle truck to the Napo river. While we were waiting for our canoe/boat I started feeding some monkeys and they jumped right on my shoulder! We got to go on many hikes through the jungle and saw many different Jungle animals!! Bats, tarantulas, the harpy eagle, dwarf camens, HUGE spiders, bats, hawks...etc. We also got to FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER! We were just floating with the paranas and anacondas...no big deal :) We went to the medicine man and got cleansed with tobacco and learned how to throw spears and shoot blow guns. The whole experience was the coolest thing I have ever been able to do!

I love Ecuador!


Hello everyone! Have no fear I am back to the blogging world! I just spend the past three months having the most wonderful time of my life! I was living in Cuenca, Ecuador working in many different orphanages! I fell in love all of these children and got very attached to quite a few of them! It was the hardest thing to leave them. This blog is a tribute to my babies! :) I love you! Oh and PLEASE...if you are even slightly interested in going to Ecuador to do this they are in need of volunteers! You would not regret it! Also, if you are looking for ways to help these orphans but don't know how, contact me! You can sponsor a child for only 30 dollars a month for a year! What a wonderful thing to do :)
