Happy Birthday GRANDPA JONES!

2011-01-23T18:03:00.000-08:00

Grandpa turned 76 two days ago! We celebrated his birthday at Maddox in Perry, Utah. It was super fun. And super delicious food! This is his birthday present we made for him. He has taken us to yellowstone every single year for 40 years in a row! I made this movie of all the pictures I took at last years trip, and it was way fun. I hope you enjoy!

Heart Kelcey!!

My Family Foundations Project

2010-12-20T22:47:00.000-08:00

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....

2010-12-03T15:18:00.000-08:00

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!!

2010-04-18T13:29:00.000-07:00

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!

2010-03-14T00:00:00.000-08:00

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

2010-02-21T16:16:00.001-08:00

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

2010-02-17T22:28:00.000-08:00

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

2010-02-09T11:38:00.001-08:00

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

2010-02-02T20:58:00.000-08:00

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!

My New Friends :)

2010-01-29T13:29:00.000-08:00

Well since all of my dear senioritas decided to leave me in Moses Lake and go back to college while I am off track and work my tush off, I decided to introduce you to my New friends lol

Besides working at the Lovely dominos in town I also work at the Aim School and Gymnastics. It is a biligual pre-school and kindergarden. I am the bus driver, Teacher's Aid, Secretary, and Babysitter. Pretty much I do what ever anyone askes me to haha. The main jobs I do is driving and Teachers Aid. The kids call me Miss Kelcey and I help them color, count, speak espanol, and write their names. I absolutely love this job with all my heart. It is so much fun!

The biggest lesson I learned from kindergarden class is that there are no secrets! Reece told me one day, "Miss Kelcey did you know that my mom is fluffy?" and I said, "What do you mean Reece, does that mean she has fur?"

Reece: "No, being fluffy means your FAt,"

Me: "Really? haha"

Reece: "Ya, My dad is SUPER fluffy!"

These kids say the funniest things in the world and everyday I come home with a new quote that made me laugh so hard! I think just for fun, I'll post my quotes of the week, because there are plenty!

The Kids in these pictures are the ones I drive to and from school. We spend the most time together. We are buddies. Their absolute favorite song is the Hannah Montana song "The Hoe down Throw down". We sing it twice everyday, at the top of our lungs! I know every single word! Reece, the kid in the yellow shirt above is the comedian of the group, he is such a clutse and is always making me laugh.

His twin sister is Reegan, and she is adorable, always dressed in pink and is going to be a heart break when she grows up. Abby is the sweetest little girl ever, she always blows her mom a kiss when i pick her up and is always trying to be nice. Kunal is from India and will be moving back next weekend. :( we will miss him.

Carson, is the cowboy and the gentleman of the group. He is so sweet and thoughtful. I love these kids like they are my own and if you cut me off while I am driving them around, I will honk like a crazy woman, nothing is going to happen to them on my watch.

I know you guys are totally jelous of my New friends but don't worry. Nobody will replace my Senoritas!

Here are some of the funny things I get to hear when I am at school

After Reece told me his dad was super fluffy his twin sister pipes up and said

Reegan: "Well my mom told me that my dad swallowed a watermelon seed."

Me: "Oh no what happened?"

Reegan: "Well a watermelon grew in there and that is why his tummy is so big!"

One time in the car we were talking about broken bones

Reegan:"Reece had a broken arm one time, I haven't broken a bone ever because I am very careful,"

Me: "That's good, I haven't broken a bone either."

Reegan:"Oh wait, I did have a broken foot once when i was born, because Reece was sitting on it when we were in my mommy's tummy."

Reece: "HeY, there wasn't that much room in there!"

During class, I was sitting by the kids while they were coloring and they were telling me what they wanted to be when they grow up.

Hallie:"I want to be a fashion model when I grow up."

Abby:" I want to be a scientist."

Justice:"Guess what, I want to be when I grow up Miss Kelcey :)"

Miss Kelcey:" Hmm a singer?"

Justice:"Nope... I want to be Albert Einstein!"

Michele:"Well if you want to be Albert Einstein when you grow up you better practise coloring in the lines and practise your words so you can become the president."

(such good advice)

We were working on an art project and I was getting on Zoes case because she was cutting the wrong paper.

Miss Kelcey: "Zoe, what are you doing? Your not suppose to cut the yellow paper"

Zoe: " I'm cutting out a cross :)"

Miss Kelcey:"......"

Zoe: "I am going to tape it on the thing I love the most! Oh I know! I'm going to tape it to my I LOVE JESUS shirt"

This is my favorite Quote so far! I just overheard the kids say this :)

Bryn:"If you believe in yourself, You can do ANyThing"

Jack (in the most blunt voice ever):"Uh no you can't"

Zoe:" No, if you beleive in Jesus! you can do anything"

Hahhahahahahhahaha Being with these little guys teaches me so much! I see everything in a different perspective. I see pure love and simple friendships. I see simple happiness and how to be carefree. I see innocence and how important it is to stay absolutely true to who you are. They don't judge and they know what is wrong and right. I see what I wish the real world was like. No wonder Heavenly Father wants us to be as the little children

One down. Three to go.

2010-01-27T14:07:00.000-08:00

Well Staci and Matt are married now. As of today they have been married three weeks and 4 days, its crazy they live in rexburg and i miss staci a ton. but i am so happy for them they are very happy. and i am also very happy that the wedding is over, it made for a very busy christmas vacation. Staci's best friend Courtney and her daughter Joie flew in for the wedding and we had lots of fun.

Courtney is like a relax button for Staci. The whole time she was here she was the ONLY one that could tell Staci to chill out and would live through it haha. Shes also like the 5th daughter in the family we all love her.

This is Joie. She is alot of fun, when shes not tired that is. The day of the wedding she didnt get much sleep so she was just alittle cranky. The only time she would sleep was when we would put her in the car and drive. So we did. But when we werent driving she was NOT much of a happy camper.

Stephanie got to come home! And it was so much fun having her home i miss her lots. Aaron came on new years eve and we had alot of fun. All but two of my cousins came home for the wedding, it was good to see everyone.

One more exciting random nothing to do with the wedding piece of news is that my cousins wife is having twin girls! haha this is now the 3rd set of twins in 3 generations! how exciting!

Happy MLK Day!

2010-01-18T13:20:00.000-08:00

Today is a holiday, which calls for some celebrating..

To celebrate the great man named Martin Luther King JR, we went to the temple bright and early this morning. The temple is so awesome. I love going there and feeling rejuvenated for the next weeks coming up.

After our three hour temple session, with only four hours of sleep, we came home and took a nice, long nap. Meet my new roommate, Lisa! She deserves her own special post, so maybe that will come someday.. Excuse our non-readiness, we really are taking the day off!

For the rest of this great holiday, I will be sending my Dad happy thoughts because today is his birthday! I have the greatest Dad in the world and he deserves the best birthday imaginable. I love you Dad!

Unfortunatly, in between happy thoughts, I will be doing lots and lots of reading. School tends to put a damper on things, but life will go on. And we will still have a great holiday. How are you celebrating?

FAMILY

2010-01-08T10:38:00.000-08:00

I just want to say that I love having all my family home again. It was such a fun holiday season with everyone home, fun and crazy. I am especially liking having AJ here at BYU with me. Basically all I want to say is nothing beats family..

PS.. Isn't mine way cute?

Lights. Flashin.

2009-12-28T13:10:00.000-08:00

Jen and Banana had a super fun, super awesome photo session after church Sunday!

It was great to have the twins in town!

Get the door.... It's Dominos!

2009-12-27T19:10:00.000-08:00

Well I have offically started work and on tuesday it will be my third Day! I work at the lovely Dominos located just off of Broadway :) So the next time you order pizza from Dominos, just know that pizza was made with love by Kelcey Jones. All I pretty much did was spread the sauce and sprinkled the cheese on it, but it was done out of love for your enjoyment... and to pay for my college tuition.

Dominos is pretty stressful so far, cause I don't know what is expected of me. But i'm sure I'll get the hang of it pretty soon. All new jobs are stressful. My second job should start up, not this monday, but the next one. I will be driving little kids to pre-school and back home and babysitting for Kortni Neilson. I am really excited for this job. It should be tons of fun!

Well that is all for the Kelcey update....Pretty dang exciting! I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and are bracing yourselves for a new year. I know I am so ready to tackle 2010!!!! Love ya!

Belchy

Merry Very Christmas

2009-12-25T11:43:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone has a bright, merry, cheerful, perfect, lovely, and every other adjetive with a positive connotaion Christmas!

Love, HANNAH BANANA

PS I got to talk to Elder Tyler Morrison, and Elder Dylan Grigg!!!! And Ty says hello to everyone!! :)

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas...

2009-12-22T00:09:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness, I love love love Christmas so much! I just love the way people act, the lights, the trees, and everything. So we are not allowed to have Christmas trees in the dorms because it is a fire hazard, which really is not okay with me. The tree is probably my favorite part of the holiday. So, the boys let us have a tree at their house. Mi'kel has never had a real tree before (I know, crazy right?!). So Bradely and I took her to get her very first real tree. After she tried to pick out a bunch of Charlie Brown trees, we picked out a beauty.

Gorgeous huh? :) We had a blast decorating it and have been watching lots of Christmas movies to get in the mood. Love it!

I have never seen the lights at Temple Square but have heard such great things about them. Bradely took Mi'kel and I to see them, isn't he the best? We went at the perfect time, it had been so cold all week but was warm when we went. As soon as we pulled back into Provo it started to rain. So perfect!

The lights are so beautiful there! I know I said the trees were my favorite, but lights are higher on the list. I was in awe the whole time and was so excited. I didn't really take any pictures but there's one. I loved the different nativities over by the office building. Christmas is just so great!

Tyson met us there, Oh how I love Tyson.

We were all starving when we got back to Provo and the line at In-n-Out was not too long. Brad or I had never been there and Mi'kel loves it. Mi'kel helped us to order what was the best. I liked it but I wouldn't swear by it. Definitely was not the best burger I have ever had or anything, but still good.

This holiday season has been full of firsts: temple lights, real trees, In-n-Out, coming home for the holidays, and my family being all together (first in a long time at least). I am so happy to be home and cannot wait to see everyone! I am grateful that we have this season to celebrate the birth of our Savior and to spend time with our loved ones. I hope everyone has beautiful holiday season!

Possibly the GREATEST investment of my life!

2009-12-18T18:13:00.001-08:00

You guessed it...I bought a Santa Suit!

It's so AWESOME! I love it to death!

Herre's the low down. I needed one for my English final presentation. So I just bought one. In less than 24 hours, I had already gotten more than I paid for it in entertainment! Totally worth it! I have no regrets!

After I got home with it, I immediately put it on and ran around to bunch of my other friends dorms to spread some holiday cheer!

And FINALS ARE OVER!!! WOO HOO!!!

these are my confessions.

2009-12-03T12:25:00.000-08:00

I have found a recent infatuation with glasses.
That's right you have heard me right. glasses.
You probably are previously aware of my obsession with wearing them while doing homework, serious business, and to the testing center.
But this is not recent.
I'm talking about glasses on other people.
In particular other people who belong to the male gender.
so here it goes...
I think it's SEXY when I see dashing young men in a certain cut of glasses.

I saw one particular dashing young man once.
that is when my infatuation began.
then I saw a bunch of other dashing young men in the same style of glasses.
Now I find myself saying "Wow. That guy is ayttractive. But give him a pair of glasses and mmm..."

That seems to be my lifes motto! However I do have a soul, and I am greatful for MANY things! The afore mentioned family, friends, missionaries, and so much more! This great education that I am getting and all of the awesome opprotunites that I have been able to have! However that will not be the focus of the wonderful post!

Take a picture trick!

That's right I am thankful for pictures! Well the technology we have to freeze a memory! That was can keep a small glimpse of an awesome memory saved forever! I just think it's so awesome! I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at pictures, both old and new. Remembering past times and the great things we used to do. Seeing familiar faces. It's also great to observe the newer ones as well. See the new faces that have graced our lives! It's just all around great isn't it! We can see how much we have changed through them, see have other people who are having different adventues are chaning and the great times they are having!

Speaking of missionaries as well...here's Dylan converting Santa Claus!! ;)

Speaking of Missionaries...

2009-11-28T23:39:00.000-08:00

I loved Lily's post and am so happy to hear that her brother is back. It reminded me of my missionary and I thought I would let you guys in on the news!

I'm pretty sure most of you guys already know but, just in case, for those of you who don't Christopher James Jackson has received his mission call! He will be spending the next Two years of his life in Hermosillo, Mexico! His dream mission. He has always wanted to serve in Mexico.I am so proud of him and how he has prepared himself for this important time in his life. I am so excited for him and this new adventure. He will be an amazing missionary!

He will be leaving February 24, 2010. Good Luck Christopher!!!!

Thanksgiving Part 2

2009-11-24T12:20:00.001-08:00

I too, am grateful for my family. I have learned how much they really mean to me and how much they all did for me my whole eighteen years. But Kelcey already covered that blessing beautifully. So..

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for Missionaries. Firstly, I am grateful for the blessing that they are to those that they teach. The gospel is the most important thing on this Earth and it is a comfort to me that we have so many willing young men and women out in the world sharing the gospel with all who will listen. I have family members who are converts and I have been lucky to see the gospel enter the lives of some of my friends. The gospel is a beautiful thing and I am grateful for the missionaries who sacrifice to teach it.

Secondly, I am grateful for the lessons that the missionaries learn while teaching the gospel. It has been so great to watch my friends leave for missions as young 19 year old boys, hear from them as they are transforming, and see them come home as 21 year old men. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be away for two years and forgetting about the world and just getting to work. I am so grateful for the experiences that they have. For the people they become. For the changes that are made. I really think that a mission is a great way for people to grow up and learn important lessons. Ah, I just love everything about a mission.

Thirdly, and most importantly, I am grateful for my missionary. It is so difficult to have a member of your family gone for two years. He has missed so much JR miss, graduation, senior year, and first semester in college. But he has been doing something much more important, spreading the gospel. I cannot wait for him to come home TOMORROW! It has been a long two years, but at the same time a short two years. My whole family will be all together again for Thanksgiving, the first time in many years. I am so excited and it is going to be the best holiday ever! To all my missionary boys (past present and future), I am so grateful for you and the sacrifice you make to further the work of the church. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone, I know I will! :)

Thanksgiving

2009-11-23T13:20:00.001-08:00

All in a WordBy

Aileen Fisher

T for time to be together, turkey, talk, and tangy weather.

H for harvest stored away, home, and hearth, and holiday.

A for autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart.

N for neighbors, and November, nice things, new things to remember.

K for kitchen, kettles' croon, kith and kin expected soon.

S for sizzles, sights, and sounds, and something special that abounds.

That spells ~~~THANKS---for joy in living and a jolly good Thanksgiving.

I think just for fun, if you guys aren't too busy, we could name the one thing that we are most thankful for that happened this past year.

For me I would have to say the deep love and appreciation I have found for my family while I have been gone for school. I really didn't realize how much I learned from them and how many life skills they prepared me for. I see alot of freshman girls like me struggling with things that I have known all my life. Like how to be careful with money and how to do laundry and iron, do dishes and cook and not to be lazy and to go to classes and do homework even if my parents aren't there to tell me to. I swear I can hear the exact words my mom would say to me in my head when I have a bunch of laundry to put away (I have told you 50 times to put this laundry away and if i have to tell you one more time......) I also hear my dad's voice creeping in my head when I invited to go watch a pirated movie at a friends house. (He is the most honest guy I know and I would feel his disappointment if I would have said I would go.) I also didn't realize how strong and faithful they were in the gospel. It is so easy for some people to just be lazy and not go to the church. My parents taught me a deep love and appreciation for the gospel and I absolutely love going to church no matter where it is at and I love the extra activities that we can become involved with. My whole family influenced the person I am today and I didn't realize it untill I had to live with out them. I am so grateful for all the lessons they taught me and I hope that someday I can be as good of parents they were to me.

I really hope I can hear from you guys to about the things you are thankful for. I love you guys and am so grateful for you guys influences in my life also. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love Belchy!!!

2009-10-24T18:37:00.001-07:00

Well last night My roomates and I attended a Masquerade Ball.!!!!!!! Oh my gosh it was so amazingly fun. One of the dances that i will never forget ever!!!!! There was alot more people there than I thought there would be and everyone had amazing costumes!

I do beleive I had the sweetest mask there and I'm sure all of you would agree! Andrea found it in salt lake city, she wasn't sure if i would like it. I loved it sooooo much!!! haha we made chris' mask, isn't it fabulous?

There isn't a picture of him cause he was so late but Blake Roylance attended this ball with us and he was Natalie's date (the redhead). I think he had a blast!! Or at least he prettended he had alot of fun haha.

There was a live band and they pretty much played swing, latin, and slow songs the whole night!!!! We had no idea how to dance to this music so we just made everything up as we went. Haha by the end of the night it looked like we were pros haha but really we had no idea what we were doing!

Real Salt Lake

2009-10-20T15:38:00.000-07:00

Last Wednesday I went to a Real Salt Lake game in Salt Lake. Real Salt Lake is the professional soccer team from Salt Lake. They played the New York Red Bulls (I think) and won! I've never been before so I was really excited, it was so fun! No one scored until the last ten minutes. The final score was 2-0. The top picture is of my cousins Brad and Rob cheering on the team.

This is a group of crazy fans, you can't really tell but I don't have a colored picture of them. They had two huge drums and banged on them the WHOLE game. And not like played some chant, no just randomly hitting it. I really don't even know if they watched at all. Every time I looked over there was a cloud of smoke coming from them, and they were ALL jumping up and down. So weird.

The Stadium. Rio Tinto.

We got our tickets through a promotion at UVU, they gave us these free T-shirts to wear. It was too cold for me though:) But I did wear it to school the other day.

Mi'kel and I enjoying the game!

That's all for now, Love you guys!

1. I love taking pictures!!!!!!!

This one was "The Fall"

Well for my humanities class I had an assignment to take four pictures. One had to be a portait, next a landscape picture, then I had to take two that had a theme of either the Journey, The fall, Redemption, or A hero. It was so much fun, I asked christopher jackson to help me and he was a wonderful model. I turned them in but the yesterday me and my roomate found out that there is an art show that the students can enter pieces of art into. I wanna enter one of the pictures htat we took and I need everyones help to pick out the best two pictures. I would love your honest opinion cause the winners get a prize. Hopefully cash prize!!! Cause im broke. lol I have to turn it in by the 30th, and I would love your imput. I numbered them so you can tell me which one you like :) Thanks so much! Miss everyone like crazy

The one above was the one that I used for the journey.

This one is the one I used for the portait

Nostalgia

2009-10-14T11:02:00.000-07:00

I came across this video today in English class...well our teacher showed it to us! I think it's just awesome! Watch and see!

Anyways I just loved this video!! My goal in life is to be just like that! Not only when I'm an oldie but goldie, but always. Just to do things that I love, things that make me laugh, and have a good time! Lately I've just decided that why don't I just do what I want to do?!? For college, for a major, for a Friday night ?!? Well of course to a certain degree...no worries madre i'm not gunna go off and do something you wouldn't approve of! haha but you know what I mean? It doesn't matter what everyone else wants me to do, but I should do what I want to do! I hope I don't sound too selfish or anything...I'm not trying to, but yeah it makes sense in my head!! I've just been thinking of that as I have been trying to live on my own and actuallly make my own decisions for once! The only problem is trying to decide what I actually want! And I guess I'm really the only one who knows!

Anyways I love you all!

Hannah

PS I decided for life in general...when I grow up I want to move to the rainforest and live in a tree hosue!!

Fun Fun Fun..

2009-10-11T16:26:00.000-07:00

Warning! This post is a picture OVERLOAD! But these past weekends were a blast!

So once upon a time, my roommate Mi'kel and I decided that we wanted to go to Conference and see if we could get in. After class on Friday we headed up to Salt Lake. We went right to the temple and did some baptisms. We had a really neat experience in there, and can't wait to go back. The temple is such an awesome place.. so everyone go! We went to the Gateway and ate with some friends. Then we spent the night at her Grandma's.

The next day, Saturday, we headed up to Temple Square. We met up with Chris Andrews, Tyler Platt, Eric Palmer, and Bailey Andrews to watch Conference. We waited outside the Tabernacle and saw the Roylances. It was very fun to see them!

We watched the first session here, in the Tabernacle. I can't believe that the whole Church used to fit in the building. It's so small! The Church has grown so much.

After the first session we went over to the reflection pool to do a little of this, and try to get some tickets for the next session. We sat for awhile and got tickets!

So this is where we got to watch the second session. I love being in the Conference Center, it is such a beautiful place and the Spirit was so strong. The whole Conference made me want to be better at serving those around me and loving my life. I always feel rejuvenated after Conference.

While we were waiting at the reflection pool we ran into the Begesons. I was talking to Mattie and she was telling me how they were looking for Elder Coulston and I told her to tell him hi if she saw him. Not joking, two minutes later, I look over into the crowd and this is what I saw:

So we of course talked to him for awhile. We took a ton of pictures with him.

I broke the rules a little bit..

I'm happy to report that Elder Coulston is doing great on his mission. I think he told us he has been in the field for 9 weeks and is doing great. He spoke to Chris and I in spanish and sounds good. He taught us part of the first discussion and about a pass-along-card, he's a great missionary. He looked so happy and knows that is where he is supposed to be. It was so fun to see him!

Fast Forward to this weekend. My dad, Zoey, and Tessa came to visit me!! I am such a lucky girl. I love my family soo much and it has been way hard to be away from them. My dad and Zoey couldn't come down with us in August so they both had a free weekend and decided it was time to come see where I live. It worked out that my cousin Sunny and her mom (Aunt Ann) were here too. So, Friday night we had a sleepover in my dorm. Here's Lindsay (Jess' sister), Zoey, and Sunny before we started our movie.

The sleepover ended up being me, Jess, Zoey, Tess, Sunny, Mi'kel, Lindsay, and Jaime (another of Jess' sisters). We all somehow fit in Jess and my room. I don't know how, but it was a ton of fun. We stayed up doing "true laugh" and laughing super hard. It was seriously the best to have a sleepover with my sisters again. I miss ours at home, and we missed having Megan here as well.

Tess is losing her front teeth. It got pretty darn loose while she was here. It will be our before we know it!

My dad had to buy new sunglasses so we went to Cabella's. Oh man, Tess was in heaven. If you know Tess, you know that she is animal queen. She knows so much about animals and can tell you random facts about the weirdest animals. We walked around the store and she told me all about all the animals. She did have a tough time understanding how they got them to stay still, even when they were dead. On Saturday my dad took her to the Bean Museum (full of taxidermy animals) while Zoey and I went to a crazy Mary Kay party:) Overall it was a great two weekends. I've been so busy and they go by way too fast. Thanks family for coming! I needed to see you, 5 weeks till I get to go home again!!

80'S NIGHT!!!!!

2009-09-29T08:12:00.000-07:00

Hola chicas! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but ya know.....been livin the crazy college life. Haha ok so I decided I had to tell you guys about Andrea's, Maddie's, and My amazingly, awsomely, incrediblely fun 80's night!

So pretty much every friday night there are different types of dances you can go to like last week we went to Latin dancing (by the way was the absolute funnest dance I have ever been to) and there are other types like Ballroom, Country Folk dancing and Swing dancing. When you go they teach you how to do that kind of dancing for an hour and then you dance the night away like Latinas or Country Folk!

(this is cute maddie!)

It is so fun and it is only a dollar to get in! Everyone actually dances too and get reallly into it. They aren't lamos and stand around all night. So this weekend we heard about an 80's night. We didn't know where it was, what time it started, or who was going, all we knew was that WE WERE GOING!

( Here's Andrea!)

Haha we listened to 80's music all day, we went shopping at the DI to get our outfits and watched 13 going on 30 and Ferris Buler's day off to get in the mood while we got ready for this amazing dance. Haha it took us like 3 hours to get ready! Not even kidding. Then come to find out that this dance was actually at a club!! oh ya haha and it had a trillion people there and they were all decked out in their 80's attire!

(Our other roomies were in Utah, wished they could have been there!)

It was sooooo hott inside but it didn't matter cause they had Lazer lights, strobe lights, black lights and to top it off they had and actual fog machine!! We danced the night away got super sweaty and will never forget how much fun it was!!!

It was only a little, teeny, tiny bit crowded :)

2009-09-26T17:40:00.001-07:00

Although I don't have much money to spare, I was in the bookstore the other day and stumbled across these beauties! I couldn't resist, so I splurged and bought them! Aren't they sooo cute....I can't wait for winter! I also made my first paper snowflake in prep for the oncoming winter weather!!

The other day C-Beaner and I made dinner for our first offial time!! We made some spegetti, salad, rolls, grapes, and apple juice! We were so dang proud of ourselves! We had to invite some boys over so people would actually believe we cooked! We're going to try and cook some more intense food! For now we're taking advise from "What about Bob" and taking "baby steps!"

The otherday I went to this tru Blue thing with my lovely neighbors! We had a BLAST! There was a slip n' slide thing, and blue foam and it was great! I was afraid I was gunna drown forturnately i didn't! I got foamy stuff in my eyes though, so I got to ask some handsome man in line with a clean shirt to wipe my eyes for me! haha

Silly Lilly and I enjoy occasionally enjoy an outing to lunch! It's sooo nice just to converse, tell stories, catch up, temporarily pretend we dont' have a buttload of homework left, and stuff face together!

I also used my pizza cutter for the first time this week! I was sooo excited, I had been anticipating this moment since the day I bought this little tressure! So, yeah I finally bought a frozen pizza...mostly I just wanted to use my pizza cutter, but the pizza was quite scruptious!

Roomies!

2009-09-17T22:59:00.001-07:00

Well, these are my lovely roomates! They are all such sweethearts and I'm so glad I get to room with them all! Today we went to Cafe Rio...for my first time and it was super delish! I had a pork salad and will be consuming the leftovers tomorrow for lunch :D I guess I'll just say a little about each of my roomis! My "roomdawg" as some guys called it today (the girl that's in my actual room with me) is Carolyn Bean...she goes by Carlie, and I call her C Bean, and Emily calls her Bean Burrito! But she's awesome! We put up some glow in the dark stars in our room, I tried to make the Big Dipper...but it looks a little retarded! haha She's totally awesome though and I love her! She's awesome at taking pics! She won 2nd and 3rd place in the Utah State fair in the adult section!! Go Car! Oh...and she puts up with me so total props to her!

Now onto Jessica! And no...I'm not making a silly mistake...both of their names are Jessica! Jessica House AKA Jess House! She's also totally rockin awesome! She is patient because she has taken on the challenge of teaching me soccer a little better! We went to a field yesterday and she saw what she was in for...but she didn't give up! She also is sooo clever! She plans out her meals so she will eat healthier, and know what food to have in stock...or just plain have food! I should probably follow her example...but i'm too lazy! But hey, at least I thought about it right?!?
Next is Karina! Karina is soo aweomse! She's adorable! She let me sing a song with her ther other day over and over and over and didn't shoot me! haha Anyways she's an expert at men, and so I'm going to learn some of her expertise from her ;) She was so sweet today, she told me the best thing to order at Cafe Rio, and it was sooooo yummy! She's also a pro rapper/rhymer!

Lastly is Emily AKA Em AKA Emilia! Emily is also super awesome just like the rest of my lovely roomies! She lets me steal some of her milk for my cereal when I'm all out! She also just had a birthday and gave us all reason to celebrate! She's just overall hilarious and the things she says cracks me up!
Ok well it's getting late/early and i have class in the morning, but I just thought I'd say how awesome my roomies are!! If they read this I love you guys!!!
And senioritas...I miss you all dearly! There's always room for visitors in my apartment!
Love, HANNAH

Monkey Girl

2009-09-16T17:14:00.000-07:00

So this is only my third post and I am still no good at it so dont mind that haha... but today before Addie and I went to walmart she wanted a snack and i needed to look and see what I needed to buy, and she wouldnt say what she wanted she just kept pointing and finally she just started climb so that she could show me what she wanted... and its actually really funny to watch because shes so tiny she really has to reach to get to the next shelf. This picture was when she had finally made it all the way to where she wanted to be haha.

this is part of her adventure up.

she has learned to use her resorces like any short person does haha when I was little I remember doing alot of the things she does to get what was needed or wanted haha

She holds on like her life depends on it.. even tho she knows I stand right behind her.. she WON'T let me help her. She is a very independent little girl haha.

but funny story... Addie and I were at good old Walmart i was standing in the check out and the lady behind me asked me how old my daughter was... WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?! First of all do i even look old enough to have a kid.. i dont think so haha... second.. shes korean and i soooooo am not haha... that pretty much made my dad because i got lots of laughs because of that.. i quickly cleared up that i was just the nanny.

And who knew a princess tooth brush could make a three year old SO happy haha.. today addie came with me when i went and picked up trey and taft from school and then took them to the dentist.. because addies family is good family friends with them and i know him he gave her a tooth brush and let her pick out a toy haha you should have seen her eyes get way big as Dr. Jensen asked her if she wanted the tooth brush it was very funny... i am hoping that because i will be working ALOT next week i will get some pictures of the boys to post.

and this now leads to my next week... stacy (my boss) and her husband are going to japan for a week because of work. so i am staying with the kids all week.. this should be interesting lol... i have a feeling the kids will get more sick of me than i will of them :) lets hope not because they are STUCK with me haha

oh and one last thing.. i am sorry to everyone that i am to lazy to edit my pictures like everyone else does :/ haha

Jon Schmidt!

2009-09-14T21:38:00.000-07:00

*Before I start, Mom- I have finished all my homework for the night. I just want to let my fellow senioritas know what I'm up to. Don't worry! This is my "yay!" face because I finished my homework! :)

Two weekends ago my cousin/roommate Jessica and I went to a concet at Thanksgiving Point in Utah. We bought the tickets and drove ourselves there. We didn't even get lost, well maybe for a second, but we figured it out! I've never been to Thanksgiving point before, so I was really excited to go. It is so pretty there! The concert was at the waterfall ampitheater, and I felt at home a little. Except instead of a lake behind the stage, there was a waterfall. Not too different. In the far right picture above that man in the blue shirt is Jon Schmidt aka genius. Then the crowd in the middle, and the stage on the left.

This was our view the whole night. Not too shabby. Except, we had a crazy lady sit in front of us. Well, maybe not crazy. But she was very very competitive. Her group was playing cards and her whole heart and soul was in the game. At least she kept us entertained!

I've learned that Utah-ians like to arrive to events forever early. I guess they don't live by the Mormon law of 15 minutes late is on time. So we got there early, or so we thought, and found a huge line. We had to park way past the front of the line, then walk to the end of the line, and then to the front as we entered. But I need me some excerise, in order to ward off the freshman 15. So no complaining here. Once we found our seats we occupied our time taking pictures. The concert was so awesome. Jon Schmidt is a pianist who composed beautiful music. I seriously was in awe of him the whole time. Everything he played sounded so different, but equally beautiful. I really really reccommend him, we bought a CD and have been listening to it basically non-stop. It makes great "homework-doing" music. Also, to make the night even more awesome. He played an encore of his arrangment of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and right before a guy went down and proposed to his girlfriend. Needless to say every girl in the crowd was envious and let out an "awwww". And! halfway through the concert he asked who won the BYU game, the crowd went CRAZY because we had beat #3 Oklahoma! Needless to say every man in the crowd was mad he missed the game and let out a very loud "BYUUUUUUU". What a great night!

The night before Jess and I attended a black and white mocktail party at a huge mansion. Have you ever seen Great Gatsby? Well, if you have, let's just say I lived it. We really felt like we were are a Gatsby party. We had a lot of fun and were even a little social. It's our goal. :)

That is all for now. I love you senioritas! Only 2 and a half months till we're reunited for Thanksgiving!!

I HEART COLLEGE!!!

2009-09-11T16:12:00.000-07:00

Well I have offically started college and I absolutely love it! I have amazing roommates, I get along with every single one of them they are so fun and sweet! We are gonna party it up this semester jk. Here is a pic of all of us except natalie who is my roommate but we are working on getting a pic with her in it.

We have alot of fun, I feel like i have know these girls for a really long time and its only been one week. Besides my lovely roomates I have fallen in love with Byu idaho. I know, I know, I was totally anti Byu. But now I have offically proven to myself that miracles do happen. There is an amazing spirit here. I see people I recognize all the time, and have made lots of friends. I also have seen alot of people from moses lake, it feels like home :) Everyone is soooooo friendly, I have been helped out so much and have never gotten lost without at least two people pointing me in the right direction. And they do it without me even asking for help. It seems like everyone is trying to be their best self and are great examples to me. I also love the spirit there is in the classroom. I love how assignments have something that relates to gospel. I also love that the temple is literally a 5 min walk from my dorm. Me and my roomates walked there yesterday night and I couldn't help but get and amazing appreciation for this university. I am so blessed to be placed on dedicated grounds. My testimony has already grown by being in this wonderful place. Hopefully this spiritual high will last all semester hahaha!

I love all of you senioritas and miss you like crazy!!! I hope your experiances are as awsome as mine are so far. LOVe YoU!!!

Belchy!

i love my job... :)

2009-09-09T21:11:00.000-07:00

so because i pretty much never blog i decided its about time i do...
About three weeks ago i started working... and i love it!! it is a great job.. i am a nanny for a super nice family that is alot of fun to be around. there are 5 kids, 4 boys and 1 girl.. the boys have been in school so i dont have pictures of them but the pictures you see are of addie she is the sweetest three year old around haha and she is very smart. she is tiny but she is alot of fun and keeps me busy all day long there is never a boring moment when addies in the room.

Addie is a girly girl she wears dresses everyday and LOVES to have her finger nails and toe nails painted.. so the other day i painted her nails again and she wanted to paint mine .. i let her.. for a three year old she didnt to to bad if you ask me haha... she loves to have each nail a different color.. it is alot of work getting a three year old that loves to be on the move to sit still long enough for her nails to dry and make sure she doesnt get the nail polish on anything. haha

she makes me look like i am really big haha but shes just super tiny..

look at that concentration.. haha

this weekend i painted my nails.. the first thing addie noticed on tuesday when she saw me, my nails were the first thing she noticed haha.. even if she doesnt have nail polish she likes to act like she is painting my nails..

And now for my interesting part of the day after i got home from work i ate dinner and right as i was done i get a call from my sister staci... her car wont start and shes stuck at work..30 min away and i have to go pick her up.. so i go pick up my aunt and we make the trip up there... after being hung up on a few times i finally got there to find out that even once we try to jump her car... it still will not start! ahh! so annoying... haha

by the way to all the senioritas... i miss you all like crazy! you have no idea! i am hoping in the spring to make a trip to idaho and utah to see you guys! good luck with school girls

Attention Adventures

2009-09-05T11:34:00.000-07:00

If I have learned anything so far in this college experience is that I have ADD. The other night Jess, Mi'kel, and I were being faithful, dilligent students and doing our homework. But after about 3 hours of not getting much done, we decided it was time for a break and some fun. We headed up to the dollar theater to watch My sister's keeper (really good by the way). But! A late night trip would be no good without a little adventure. So we wore jammies, and winter hats. Right before we left, Jess and I locked ourselves out of our room.. we don't know how. We had a good time, but were tired the next day. I have a few breaks in my schedule, so I use them to study. Yesterday I had 2 hours between class and a study group. I thought how perfect, I can post on my english blog and get some other reading done. But I got distracted.. Did you know that my laptop can take pictures? I found out yesterday. Maybe this no attention thing is a problem. This is what I did in my break yesterday. Along with some good old fashioned people watching.

We also took a homework break on Thursday to go shopping. We heard there was a fabulous sale at Dillards, but found no such sale. Instead, I found this little beauty. My main man at the moment. I have never seen so many couples in my life, and I was feeling a bit left out. Now, I'm happy:)

And Lastly, I just want to share this cute picture of my amazing sisters. I've really come to appreciate how important they are to me. I know I've only been gone for 2 weeks, but I never realized how much I depend on my family. I love you guys! And I want to give Zo a little shout out, I hear she's tearing up the drill team scene. And I'm not surprised at all!

Well, that is all for now. I've got some more adventures to share, but I'll wait until I need another homework break. Have a great Labor day weekend!

Moving Out

2009-09-04T13:30:00.003-07:00

I am a procrastinator. I won't lie. By blogging, I'm procrastinating completing my homework ;) Anyways I put off packing up, and so I had to do everything the day before we left...haha but Kelcey, being the lovely, amazing friend that she is, offered some of her services to help me. Because she has moved so many times (as you may have read in this post) she told me she'd come help me! I was sooo glad! Although it was hard, I actually got my room majorly dejunkified! Not only do I procrastinate, I'm also a pack rat. So, I threw some of my stuff from middle school out finally! haha but anyways, the above pictures are me and Kourtni, and Kelcey while packing. Don't you think we all look delightfully studious with our classes on?!?

And here is Kelcey, probably contemplating what else could be gotten rid of!

And this jewel of a picture is from the car ride over! Lilly drove her jeep, and me and Megan were her passengers! We partied all [day] long...when me and Meg weren't sleeping...and Utah wasn't freaking us out too much! Anyways shout out to the Pyle's for letting mi madre y yo tag along!

2009-09-03T10:18:00.000-07:00

I am offically the last seniorita left in good ol Moses Lake, and saying goodbye is harder than I thought.

January 2006: The first day I met Moses Lake

It was pitch black outside, and my family and I were driving on highway 17 finally making it to our destination. After a 13 hour drive, 6 people, cat and dog crammed in our car all the grumpyness and exhaution disappeared when we pulled in our new home town Moses Lake, Washington. We were extatic, and the first thing my mom said was, "Don't let the lights fool you . It looks alot smaller during the day."

The first night we slept in moses was at the Ameristay inn, by the bowling alley. I was texting my old neighbor from syracuse in our hotel room and he was bribing me with a new car if I convinced my family to moved back to stay with them. I was very very close to excepting. We were very close friends with our neighbors and hung out with them all the time. We still keep in touch and see them when we visit utah.

The next day i got to see my new home for the very first time. Since this was our 13th maybe 14th move... i loose track... I had held it together pretty good and didn't shed a tear the whole time we packed up our house and the long drive up here. i was fine untill we started walking around the new house. It was offical and it finally dawned on me that I wasn't going back, I wasn't going to be able to finish my second semester of high school as a sophmore, I wasn't going to see my friends for a very long time some of them maybe never again. Walking around my new room crying my mom thought it was because i hated it, but the real reason was because i was scared and sad to leave my past behind.

What i didn't know was that this new little town, that i had never heard of before in my entire life, was going to welcome me and my family with huge open arms and will always hold a place in my heart forever! I didn't know I was going to a school with tons of kids with my standards and beliefs. I didn't know that almost everyone in this town is related and if your not it still feels that way. I didn't know that my testimony would grow stronger because of the missionary experiances that i had and never would have had if i still lived in utah. i didn't know that my heavenly father placed me and my family here for a purpose to learn and grow. i didn't know i would have the time of my life!!!

I will never forget this town and all the people and all the experiances i had here. I know that im heading off to another place where im supose to be and it will change my life forever like moses lake did. My mom has this quote and it says "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." E. E. Cummings. I think that is very very true and im starting to realize that more and more every day. But i came up with another quote that is even more true, "It takes courage and FAITH to grow up and become who your Heavenly Father wants you to become."I know no matter what happens at college it will be perfectly fine cause i got someone watching out for me. Hopefully I'll make him proud. I love ya moses lake and Rexburg... here I come!!

Dear Moses Lake,

2009-08-29T07:35:00.000-07:00

I don't even know where to begin. You've been the greatest town ever. So many important parts of my life have taken place within your city limits. I've only ever lived within those limits....and now as I move on, I realize how much I'll miss you. How much I'll miss your algae infected green lake, your awesome clock in the middle of the street, your painted garbage cans, your tons of friendly people wherever you go. I'll miss 10th ward, and the friendships which began due to living within your limits. I'll miss Sunday dinners, being able to see in every direction you look, your starry starry nights, your breathtaking sunsets(which aren't blocked by stupid mountains). I'll miss my family, and my amazingly awesome friends. I'll even miss your high school and seminary. I'll miss those good ol' days waking up at 5 for swimming, and working my bootay off. I'll miss your crisp fall nights. I'll miss getting lost all the time while driving within those lovely limits...but no worries I've already gotten lost here....

Thank you to all those who have been such wonderful influences on my life. Thank you for shaping me and making me who I am. Thanks for adding to my exerience in Moses Lake, and for teaching me the skills I will use to [try] and survive in this mountain filled area.

Love,

HannahB

Ocean Beaches

2009-08-18T21:31:00.000-07:00

Well, last week the family, the grandparents, and the brother's girlfriend had a nice vacation to Seaside, Oregon! It was sooo nice to get away from work, and in Mason's word's "reality"! This post is a picture documention of my experience there!
Here islovely sandcastle made with love by Hannah and Kortnee. We named our kingdom "ocean Beach" because on the way to Seaside from the airport, there were a ton of signs with arrows saying "ocean beaches" and it bothered me because there's no specific town specifially called "ocean beach" and so, we named out kingdom that!
UNO! We played uno quite a bit, and I loved this picture which I took! I dominated sometimes, and sometimes I didn't! And no...I didn't cheat! Due to the rainy weather, games were played quite often!
This is another kingdom which Kortnee and I created! This one's named the "fresh linen fortress"! We made a fort over our beds, but there weren't many spare blankets, so we used sheets, and chairs, and mops, and hair tyes...and TP to make the sign! It was my favorite! When I woke up in the morning, one of the mops had fallen down, and so the "fresh linen" was pretty much acting as a blanket right on top of me!

Here we are enjoying being rulers of out kingdom!

I'm an official adult, and I still play with my food! But how can you deny that this isn't a masterpiece?!? It should be displayed in some famous food artist's museum!

Seals! A few years ago some of the Morrison's friends took us to a place in Astoria where you can watch seal wars! They fight for spots on the dock, and can sometimes get a little violent! You can see some of their battle wounds when you're closer! ha and they also put on operas or something!

The Ballards were also there! We did a few things with them. One day Taylor, Kortnee, and I wandered downtown for a little while, bought some perfume from our friend named Hungry, and then we walked Taylor home! It was fun! And now we smell Heavenly!

We stopped on our way to take Tay home and rode some swings on the beach!

Kortnee, and Taylor enjoying the swings!

Me and a dead jellyfish...haha We found a few dead jelllyfish...and seagulls on the beach. I posed with one...but shamefully I must admit that the name of my friend has escaped my mind's memory!

We enjoyed some yummy sorbet from Costco in pineapple bowl dealios! Very yummy...especially while in the hot tub!

Some cool mirror in Canon beach in a toy store!

Kortnee and I did our nails! Mostly Kortnee did our nails! Aren't they cute! Thanks Kort!

We also did some masks!

And then ate the cucumbers?!? Ha ha not really...it's just a dillusion!

Here's a lovely shot of a lovely purse which I purchased from a lovely import store! I forgot where it was made...somewhere very lovely I'm sure!

We bought matching hats! And you're jealous...admit it!

And then we wore them to the beach!

My parents brought some tie dying stuff! Me mason, kortnee, and my dad all made shirts, and this is Kortnee and one of my hand's afterwards! I didn't get a picture of all of our shirts afterwords...but they were all sweet!

Mason loved "driving" the wagon to the beach...and none of us complained...who wants to drag a wagon through sand anyways?? Only Mason! He was doing 360s and all sorts of stuff with it!

Here Kortnee and Hannah are on the beach...looking as sexy as ever!!

And last but not least....here's a braclet I made! Thanks so much to Kortnee for teaching me the art of braclet making, and for being super patient with me, and fixing my MANY mistakes!!

All in all, I had a great time! I had lots of fun getting to know Kortnee...Dylan's girlfriend from N. Ogden, UT! Not only did I enjoy her company, her nail and braclet skills, but I loved her music taste! haha especially Tally hall!!

2009-08-16T16:11:00.000-07:00

Honey is Money.

2009-08-01T10:05:00.000-07:00

Good news! I finally got a job! I work for Grigg Apiaries, and I've worked there for about a week and a half. I've been waiting to post about it until I got a picture of where I work, but things are always so crazy out there and I always forget to. Grigg Apiaries is a bee/honey farm (I don't really know) and right now we're in the middle of honey season. So, we spend most of our days extracting the honey from the hives. I'm the only girl employee, so I am "Scratcher Girl" in the warehouse. I get the lovely job of standing next to the convor belt and scratch the wax off the frames so the honey will come out. It is THE most boring job in the world, I basically just stare at the back wall all day long! Some days if we are all out of honey we have to go out into the fields and pull honey. This is where my first picture comes in.. Everytime I tell someone that I work for a bee farm they ask "Do you have to wear that sweet suit thing??" The answer is sort of. We don't have a full on suit, but see that lovely hat plus net up there? Oh yeah, I get to wear that all day long in the heat. Yuck. So in the field I'm "Gas Board Girl". I go around wo the hives with these lids that have been sprayed with Bee Go, which gets them out of the hive. I guess it makes the bees really sick, which makes total sense, because if I get it anywhere near my eyes they start to water like crazy. So those are my two responsibilities out there. Plus helping clean up and filling barrels with honey. So all in all, it's a pretty nice job. It's always really hot and long, we work most days like eight or nine hours. But it's alright, I like it.

There is one major downfall to this job, and that is being around bees all the time. I hadn't been stung by a bee since I was like five before this job. And now I've been stung so many times I've lost count. They tell me that soon I won't even notice them, but I'm not seeing that happen anytime soon. Both these pictures are hard to tell what's going on. But the first one is my ankle, my boss jinxed me and asked if a bee had crawled up my leg yet, I told him no. And probably a minute later a bee crawled up my pants and stung my ankle! It is pretty swollen, and looks like a have a major cankle. I don't know why, but it's all bruised too. The next picture is of my swollen middle finger. I tried to help a guy out and get a bee off his collar, which I did. But I got stung in the process. It's pretty funny to see how I react to the stings. Some make me swell up, some make me have massive red, itchy rashes, and some don't do anything. Thank goodness for Benadryl! Well, I've rambled. But it's a hard job and I'm always way tired by the end of the day. But I got my first ever paycheck (which is what I'm holding in the first picture) and that made everything worth it! That's it for now!
Love, SL

PS.. I like this background whoever chose it... Good choice!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

2009-07-29T15:58:00.000-07:00

Haha I'm a little itty bitty bit late because Trevor's bday was on the 20th but it has been a little hecktic around here!

Trevor is my little baby brother who is about 9 and a half years younger than me and is the biggest sweetheart ever! I love him so much and since it is his 9th birthday I'll write the top nine reasons i am crazy about him!

1. He loves to cuddle and hold hands with everyone in our family.

2. He is hilarious and says the funniest things ever!

3. He is always asking us to play with him.

4. He is already way good at everything he tries and kicks my butt in every wii game invented.

5. He cares about others

6. He knows alot about the gospel. Way more than i did when i was his age!

7. He is a really good listener

8. When ever i ask him if he'll miss me when i go to college he looks down and says........."maybe" haha at least its a maybe.

9. Trevor is the cherry on top of the jones family , it wouldn't be complete without him.

To celebrate this awsome occasion my mother and father took us to one of trevor's favorite places in the world. Lagoon!!! He champed out all the big and scary rides with me. I was the biggest chicken when i was his age i would have never gone on any of them, but trevor was a studd and went on every single one even the new ride wicked!

Here are some pictures that i caputured while we were there

Haha what a nerd, he was soo excited!

This is trent's favorite ride ;)

We got freaking soaked on this ride

This ride broke down when we were on it. we only road it for like two seconds.

i always thought this was a really funny sign, really who would stand up on a rollarcoster?

awww thats my dad and little brother trent

the birthday boy and me

I loved taking pictures of the ferris wheel!

Trevor had a blast at lagoon he did not want to leave even though he could only walk about 20 steps before he had to sit down and rest. haha he was sooo exhausted when we finally dragged him out of there. i hope he had an awsome birthday and knows that we love him!

Friendly Feature

2009-07-16T09:17:00.000-07:00

On my dear friend Miss Caritina Cortez

Cari and I have been friends forever...well since we both started swimming! We've banded together in the art of swimming, stalking Carl Jones [in our more immature years], lifeguaring, co captaining, cooking, and many other sweet activities!

There are many reasons why I love Cari! Here's a few!
1.) She's funny! She's one of two people who can make me laugh so hard I can't breathe, and I start choking!
2.) She tolerates my weird ways[feet, music taste, cooking concoctions, etc] ...she occasionally even embraces them!
3.) She's very smart! This coming fall (which sure is coming fast) she's going to Whitman. She always is up to date with all the current events, and has her own worldview! She also got lots of scholarships!
4.) We swim together, and always have a crazy awesome time! Most of our memories together are from swimming!
5.) She lets me eat her food at work sometimes!

July the Fourth...AKA The Fourth of July

2009-07-07T12:48:00.000-07:00

Well, to start out with, I just thought I'd say how greatful I am for this beautiful country we live in! I'm so thankful for all of the freedoms we are able to enjoy, and for the many people who have made sacrifices for our country and the many people who still do. One of the freedomes I am especially greatful for is the freedom of religion! Where would we all be without our awesome church, and prophet, and leaders?!? I love this picture, because it's at the Rexburg temple...in Rexburg, Idaho! Anyways here's how I spent my fourth of July celebrating our independence!

Althouh, we weren't all able to celebrate our beautiful country's independence together, Silly, Banana, and a few other friends [Marshall, Chandler, and Colebert] enjoyed a scrumptious BBQ at Banana's! Then we went out to Chandler's farm, where his cows had escaped, and we got his canoes, and headed back to town to watch the fireworks from the lake!The sunset was absolutely BEAUTIFUL I couldn't help but snap a quick photo!

Colbert liked to refer to himself as many different names that night. First, he was "Washington crossing the Deleware", and then I said he looked like Christopher Columbus arriving in "Asia" but really America! His ultimate favorite though was Capt'n Kirk!

I tried to get a pic of all of us in our canoes, but I'm not that skilled, so here's one of all but Banana! I just noticed our canoes are red and green...AKA Christmas colors!! Less than half a year!Here are a few pics of the fireworks! Our view was sooo AMAZING! We were right by where they launched the $17,000 worth of fireworks! Thankfully, none of them went sideways and made our canoes explode!The aftermath of the fireworks! We canoed right by it! The only thing I regret, was that we did not think to bring marshmallows, and roasting sticks!After the fireworks were over, we canoed back to shore, and went out to Chandler's! Silly and Marshall stopped at McDonald's on their way out. While we were waiting for them, Chandler climbed a tree..and Colbert wanted to, so he tried, and tried, and tried, and tried...and eventually got up...haha but then he couldn't get down, so he enjoyed his McChicken in the tree! As you can probably see, Colbert eventually made it down to partake of his coveted Cinnamon melt!

We did some of our own fireworks at Chandler's pond! We did some that made a loud noise, Roman Candles, Sparklers, some bottle rockets (which I did not realize you had to let go of), and a grand finale of some fountain which we thought was done...and then it kept going!
All in all, I think we all had a great night! Thanks to our awesome friends for being so fun! Thanks Chandler for letting us use your canoes, and going to your farm, we hope you found your cows!
I hope you all had an amazing independence day as well!

Here's a sweet vid. of us singing during the fireworks...I'm afraid due to the fact that I help the camera, my voice kind of overpowers the others a little...sorry...haha but the fireworks are awesome!

2009-07-05T20:38:00.000-07:00

Haunted House extra

2009-07-04T17:27:00.000-07:00

I just thought I would add my pictures from our adventure to the Haunted House! And let me just say for the record, I was scared when Tyler left Hannah and I by the truck. I thought we were going to get stranded! But it was an adventure. Good times.

Happy 4th!

Love, L

Fate?

2009-07-03T23:00:00.000-07:00

So this kid was at my house the other day, sporting some sweet, amazing glasses...which I must admit...I coveted...I had to know where they were from, if I could purchase some, what the price was...I was almost prepared to sell my soul for them...OK maybe not...but close! I mean seriously, anything that is either straw related, or fake glasses related is totally me! Combine the two...and I'm in Heaven! The same day, I hit the road and....

SHAZAM!!
I purchased my own pair!! I think I rock them quite well! My next step is to figure out how to put some dark lenses in them and I can rock them at work! You could say it was fate that that kid was at my house, wearing some amazing straw glasses...but that would be a gross understatement!

A JOB?!?

2009-07-02T21:27:00.000-07:00

Good old Wal-Mart!!! i started on tuesday and spent 2 and a half days doing orientation which was way too long and then today after lunch I started on the floor in the grocery department where I restock and zone all the dry goods its lovely not... But hey its money and I was in desperate need of some of that... Anyways just thought I would update everyone on that...
P.S. Good luck silly hope you can find one soon...

Trepidation

2009-07-02T13:25:00.001-07:00

On our way to a haunted house, we came across a...cemetery...it was kinda creepy!

The house...which we touched!

Here we observe (from left to right) Banana, Silly, friend Chandler, friend Colebert, and Bait touching the house

After touching a spooky house, and hearing creepy noises, some people were a little disturbed

As your curious mind may have figured out already, the other night Banana, Silly, Bait, and some friends visited a "haunted" house in Ruff, WA. It started as a quest to cause Silly to feel a little Trepidation, as scary movies, don't cause those feelings for her. Trepidation levels were running high in everyone's body as Tyler pulled the car up to the house. Levels rose as we passed an uninhabited car with tabs from '96. We all touched the house, gaining a feeling of accomplishment. However, no one stepped in that night, because Tyler forgot to bring an extra pair of undies! A few nights later though, Bait and some of the guys went inside, and encountered lots of bats...and no, not the wooden kind, but the kind that fly!

Afterwards, our tummies had had it. So, we catered to their needs and stopped at Mickey D's and stuffed our faces!!

2009-07-02T12:38:00.000-07:00

Our Yellowstone Trip!!
I hope you guys are prepared enough to see this gigantic post

Nobody has as much fun at Yellowstone National Park as much as we do! We have been going almost every single year since before I remember. I have had so many amazing and fun memories from this place that I will never forget. I'd like to say a million thanks to my grandpa who has kept this tradition going for such a long time.

Here's my cute grandpa who loves every sencond of this trip

There were so many beautiful hotspots. I loved these two.

This is jacy and trevor freezing their reer's off because it was really cold that weekend.

Uh oh we got some tree huggers on our hands

The crazy fam

A Black bear with two little cubs!!!

Tons of the park is still really burnt from the fire in 1988, we kinda like it cause you can see the animals better.

This is the Wilson Family (My dad's sister)

Jacy, Courtney, Sydney and I are all the girl cousins
There was a Pack of 5 wolves right next to the road my grandpa spotted it was sooo sweet!

The old faithful lodge!

Haha this was the sweetest shot ever I made my uncle turn around so I could take it.

The Evans family (my dad's other sister)

I will post the rest of the pics after work :).....

I find this video to be absolutely lovely. I wish I could understand the words. However, even my solo English comprehmending brain finds the words to be absolutely lovely! Needless to say...I love how it sounds! I love the Christmas decorations. I love the bicycles. I love the chalk. I don't love the dude's hair (but it still makes me chuckle)! I love the piano. I love the sunset. I love the trees. Overall I'd say this video is absolutely and completely lovely.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY!

So.. today is my(silly's) brother's 24th birthday! And since I'm 12 hours away, I wanted to write a little about this amazing brother of mine.. One of my favorite things about Tyson is how he supports me. If I really want him to be up here in Washington for something, he finds away to come. And I know it's not easy for him. He's made the long drive for my JR miss program, and just recently, for my graduation. I don't think he knows how much it means for me to have him here, but it means a ton. Another thing is how he shows me he loves me. Tyson always makes me hug him, dance with him, sit with him, sing with him, you name it. He will also speak spanish to me, even if it takes way longer then english. He's a good teacher. And he always lets me know that I'm important to him. He's the best big brother in the world! And I do love him very much.. Entonces, Feliz cumpleaños, te amo.

At how much Banana's late fee* was at Hastings when her and Silly went to rent a couple movies Saturday night!

*The fee was not paid that night, as Banana and Silly went to Safeway..then RedBox at Walmart to get the movies when the fee was announced

Well the sidewalk in frount of our house was looking pretty plain so......

Belchey and her little brother decided to chalk it up in celebration of the offical very first day of summer and we thought we would share our master piece!

Trevor is an inspired artist! In this snapshot he is carfully creating and exact look-alike of Tina (our dog) and Christopher Jackson and Kelcey Jones holding hands.

I got pretty into it, I forgot how much fun it is to use sidewalk chalk! NOBODY is to old to play with chalk and turn the world's sidewalks into a masterpieces. We should do this for a date sometime!

"The lady is a tramp"

If by "tramp" you mean trampoline, then we rock at that!! Banana, Belchey, Penn, and Mess had an enjoyable afternoon on the trampoline. Attempting to do awesome, amazing, crazy stunts, singing, hot tubbing...it was amazing! No one got hurt, fun was had by all! Welcome summer! We LOVE you! Although we love money, and need lots to further our education, hopefully we'll all have a little time off from work to enjoy our lives, and each other's company!
PS We're not tramps, but we love the trampoline! This summer's goal is to teach Hannah how to land a flip! There will be a reward...like an otter pop to the first one to help her accomplish that goal!!

Not yo nacho!

After our grueling adventures at work, the Kelc Miester, and H-Bean kicked it at Hannah's crib! With some delectable nachos...and salsa verde! Hope your lunch was as...nacholicious as ours!!
Lovey dove, Kelc Miester, and H Bean :)
