My Family Foundations Project

Well for the end of the semester in my Family Foundations class we were assigned to come up with a project for this class that we would turn in. I decided to take some of my photography and other photography I found and make a slide show of the Proclamation. I am very proud of it! and I thought you girls might enjoy the final project :) I hope you girls are having a wonderful christmas break with your families!

Love Kelcey!

I think it is about time for another post....

Well a lot has happened since anyone has posted on here so I thought I would post a quick one. I move home back to spokane to work for the winter semester in two weeks. Time has flown by I cant believe I have been in Rexburg since September. I love it here :) it is so much fun and I have some pretty cool roommates too.

My cousin Paige happens to be my next door neighbor in Rexburg and is in a photography class and had to take pictures of someone for a project and asked me if I would do it, this is one of the many she took.
Paige also took us roommate pictures and here they are :) enjoy!
I was super hyper, which is weird considering there was a camera around and normally I hate cameras...
Roommates names in order from left to right Jessica Brooklynn Brook Brittany Janelle and me :)

The last few months have been a lot of fun and I am so glad that I am here. I went to lunch with
Breanna and Kelcey the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and we had lots of fun talking. I miss all of you Moses Lake girls and cant wait to see you and have a girls night. HOPEFULLY SOON. Have a wonderful holiday season girlies.
Love, Jenn

Look what I FINALLY did!!

Landed a front flip!! :))
(Please ignore how ridiculous I look!)

Remeber this, what I made a goal to land a flip after...oh I don't know 16 years circa of trying! I finally did!! It could have been that the trampolines were extra bouncy and way awesome, but I'm still excited about it!! Mid flip! :)

Yay!! :)))

On a much sadder note, the semster is almost over...well it pretty much is over! And I guess rather than cry that it's over, I'm trying to just be happy that it happened!! I've had some of the MOST amazing experinces of my lifetime!! And met sooo many amazing people...and still am, even though it's sad because we're all leaving this week :( But yes! Life is still amazing, and I'm still so greatful to be at BYU! :)

Love,

Banana

PS The next goal is to master a backflip! By the end of this summer!!!

Seasons Greetings!

Hola friends, countrymen, strangers!
This is Hannah! :)
Well here's a little story...on many occasions i come check out this lovely blog of ours to see if anyone has posted! And I keep getting sad because I haven't heard anything from anyone in quite some time! So...I decided....hmm maybe it's a sign that I should update this lovely blog of ours!
This semester I feel that I have had some really great experiences, opprotunities, and learned a ton! It has had it's ups and downs, highs and lows (wow that's like the same thing said in two different ways :O). But I guess I'm greatful for the good and the bad. The good, because it really makes me happy, and helps me to realize how blessed I am, and how great my life is! The bad, because there is always something to be learned from it. Something to help me in the future, something to teach me how to improve. So, even if there is bad...let's all have a good attitude and try and grow from it!!
Here's a little update since my last fort post! First of all...after approximately three amazing weeks, our fort had to come down due to a cleaning check! :( But hey, we had a great three weeks with it, and made some awesome memories involving the fort! :)
I apologize these pictures are out of chronological order!

Above is some cool cats...all of which are from Moses Lake!! :)
Meet Mike! I did! Infact...I'm "engaged" to him! :) After meeting him, he restrung my ukulele, then we (a group of us) went to BR for buy one get one free sunday Tuesday, came home, and proceeded to jam! On a side not, I'm in a guitar class with my roomie Carlie, and have been enjoying it so much! Lately though, playing guitar/ukulele has been temping me oh so much not to study as much as I should!

LASERTAG! It's one of my favorite games...in the WORLD! I don't even care that I am horrible, or the fact that the day we played this, I was in white under a black light, and competely visible from miles (OK feet) away! But hey, I played over Christmas break...got last place...this time...I got second to last place! What an improvement!

We have kind of started a Tuesday Tradition of going to ice cream...I've gone the past two weeks...but I should probably limit myself! But I do love ice cream!

Warning this story has a sad ending. So, this cute cake of Dynomite the Dinosaur, unfortunatly did not last long. I know what you're thinking...Hannah, you're just such a great cook everyone devoured it right away. Unfortunately that is not the case. I made it for my friend's birthday, and while carrying it over, I dropped it down some stairs...and it died :( I was just glad I ahd a picture of it!

I went to this AWESOME Harry Potter dance! You can't really tell but I was Crookshanks, and I took Chandler...he was the whoming willow! :) This is just some of us afterwards...as you can see my whiskers are falling off!

This would be me and my beautiful cousin! She came over and we jammed on our guitars, went to a BYU Basketball game (which we sadly lost), ate some creamery food, and watched a movie! Although I am sad being away from other family, I really do love being closer to my other family! I had a blast with Miranda, and hope we hang out more often! :)

Now, I know what you're thinking! Those look scruptions...where did they come from?!? And you should be surprised to hear that I made them!! I was VERY impressed with myself! These are my Grandma's recipie and they are YUMMY!

I had some visiters visit me! IT was so fun to see Kourtni, KaiLani, and Mikki! They are all great friends, and I had a total blast with them! They should come visit me more!

This is at Yogo! We took a picture with a goal of getting in their slideshow...I still need to try and figure out how to email it to them! But we are celebrating Marshall's mission call!!

Here is me and Lilly anticipating Marshall's mission call! Oreo's always help with the tension!

Here's going to North Carolina! Yay! Congrats! speaking of mission calls Chandler also has gotten his to San Jose, Cali! Congrats to him!

Well that's a little update! The semester is coming to an end...and I cannot even belive I'm nearly done with my freshman year of college. I have even signed my housing contract for next year and have found that soon I have to register for next falls classes....so crazy! I'm not going to lie...I've really enjoyed my freshman year and am kind of scared to not be a freshman anymore...It's so weird to think that are practically no boys the age of 20 attending BYU...So, next year it's just crazy to think that the boys we will be hanging out with will be R.M.'s. I'm really going to miss all of my new friends that I've made this year, as well as all the one's from Moses...but I guess it's for a good cause...right! ;) I'm also frightened that everyone will be all mature...that frightens me :S

Well have a great day, week, month, year, and life!

Love always,

Hannah

My Missionary

Christopher James Jackson and I have been together for about 1 year and 2 months.

I Love him so much! More than I have ever Loved anything

As you may know tomorrow he will be the servant of the Lord for two years of his life

And I have never been so proud of the amazing man he has become by preparing for this day

The Lord really knows what He is doing when he sends these young men out to serve.

His work is in good hands

I'd like to bear my testimony that I know this work is so so important. Nothing is more important than the gospel and knowing that someone out there Loves you and died for you. I know that Joseph Smith brought truth to this world. The only fullness of the truth. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. And that we have living prophets on the earth today, that lead us, guide us and teach us the way to eternal happiness. I know that Chris was choosen specifically to go to the people that need him. I know that he is going to bring so much happiness, light, and hope into peoples lives. I am so grateful i could have been around his sweet spirit and his amazing strength. Chris is such an example to me. And he showed me what true, through and through love is. Because of him I know what I want in the future. He is my very best friend and I know how i need to be treated and how special i am. We are all special. We are children of God.

Don't ever settle for less than what you truely deserve. I love you guys and all your support and for being my amazing friends. I also love My Savior, He has been so comforting through all of this and has helped me see the positive side of things. I say these things in His name Jesus Christ Amen.

Ash Wednesday

Today my facebook has been full of status' about Ash Wednesday and Lent. I realized that I didn't (probably still don't) know a lot about this Catholic Holiday. So, I went to Wikipedia (like any student would do). I learned a lot about this holiday, and find it pretty interesting. Ash Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter Sunday, 40 not counting Sundays. The 40 days has a lot of symbolism from the Bible, the 40 days Moses spent on Mount Siani, 40 days of rain in Noah's day, and Jesus' fast. On Ash Wednesday there is a special mass ceremony with the marking of the cross on the follower's foreheads. The cross is marked with ash by the priest or minister. The members then give up something for their lent fast for the next 40 days. The members do these things to get ready for the Easter holiday. I was really impressed by this tradition. What a great concept to spend some time each year dedicated to bettering ourselves and preparing. I think that we should not only spend our 40 days a year but spend everyday giving up our bad habits and preparing for Jesus Christ to return again. That's what this life is about; getting ready to meet our Lord and Savior again, to become the greatest people that we can be, ultimately to become like Him. So, my roommate Lisa and I have decided to give something up for Lent. Mostly because we think it is a really neat idea to work towards. For the next 4o days I am giving up chocolate and saying things I shouldn't about people. And Lisa is giving up eating after 9 and listening to music with swearing. Starting today, so in 40 days we'll let you know how it goes!

Lilly

PS- Read up on Ash Wednesday and Lent, it is really interesting!

Benjamin

Benjamin Reid Mar was born on January 14, 2010 in Moses Lake. He is the cutest little thing ever and so I just wanted to show him off a bit. My sisters friend Heather Grigg specializes in newborns and took these amazing pictures. He has way more hair than my sisters other kids so he looks older than he is. I am so thankful that I am able to live colse to my neice and nephews they bring smiles to my face everytime i see them.!

La Psychadelic acid-trippin, aiyaiyaiy jammin fortress for mamasitas and the occasional puff daddy

That is the name of the beaty of a fortress, our masterpiece, our humble abode, our life! haha Inspired by Bob Marley..partly (I bought that poster and we stole it from the walll and put it on the fort!) So Me and my new roomie Asia (no she's not Asian) built a fort the other day becase both of our room roomates had gone home on Monday night, so we decided to move out matresses into the kitchen and build a fort around them, buy some yummy ice cream and watch a movie in our fort! So..we built it Monday and it's still up today (Wednesday) and hopefully it will for a while longer!
Here we have a lovely shot of me draggin my matress covered in it's lovely bamboo-cotton sheets to the kitchen! Please take not of 1.) The new green classes! 2.) The hair...which if I were right side up would be stickin up!
Here are three lovely ladies! This is during a commerical for American Idol(!) Me Carlita, and Asia

We kind of do everything in the fort. This is another picture caught from American Idol J Fish, Jess HOuse, Me, Carlie, and Asia's takin the pic!
But yes...I eat in it. I sleep in it. I study in it. We party in it. We even had a concert in it yesterday with a bunch of friends!
Well have a fabulouso day!

Love, HANNAH

PS Please feel free to stop by and visit the crazy long titled fort! There are a few conditions to enter though! First of all to enter you must perform an entrance dance that I must approve. Second you must bring a fort warming gift! There's some other rules but you can find out if you come!
