Snow Day

Remember when you were in grade school and you always dreamed of a Snow Day because you hated to get all bundled up to go to school just to sit inside and stare out the window and wish you were outside playing in it? Well I have always felt like I got ripped off because I never got a snow day. A day to skip school just to build a snowman, make snow angles, seld, and play with friends. That's the dream for all kids right? ALAS I finally got my snow day! On December 1st I woke up to find 8 inches of snow outside. So again I thought "dang it it's just like grade school but instead I wish I didn't have to go to work." So I was dragging my feet trying to get ready for work so I would be on time, when my boss called me. I figured she was just calling to say she would be a little late, but no! She told me the owner said we could close for the day and have our own snow day! Oh my goodness I was so excited! I FINALLY get a snow day! Years later it would finally come! Well long story short I got to play in the snow and have the whole day off. I didn't have any friends that I could play with or any siblings to hang out with, but I still enjoyed the day by myself.

Here are pictures from my adventure!

 Some cool pictures that I took that I liked.

Snow Angel

This was my snowman...

He was a little guy cause I couldn't get the snow to roll haha!

Bored? I dont think so!

First off, I think there's a 50/50 percentage of girls who get really bored of their hair when they've had it one color of a long time. Maybe that is a lie and I just think that because of the people I'm around all the time are the type who always change their hair. So...I figured I'd follow the crowd. I got tired of the blond and decided to go closer to my natural hair color which is more brown. (It use to be way blond, but not so much any more) I'm really really liking it and might even want to go a little darker too! 

Second, when you live in Boise and it's fall, it's kind of a boring season as far as what to do for fun. It is by far my favorite season because of the amazing colors!! But boring because it's not warm enough to do fun things outside and not cold enough to have snow in the mountains to go snowboarding. So what do we do? BON FIRES! We've had a few just in the past few weeks and they've been a blast! Fire, Music, Friends...how does it get better? 

Now...Time for Christmas! Can't wait to decorate the house, listen to the Christmas music, go shopping, and most exciting part of all...have ALL my siblings and niece home for Christmas! (Minus my brother that's on his mission, and SO excited to talk to him on Christmas) This year will be one for the books! 

Halloween again?

That's right. I got lucky enough to dress up and hang out with friends for Halloween again. It was a pretty fun night!

Mirium and I went to a party and met up with lots of people.

 Cowgirl, Bat women, Bert, Bat women 2, basketball player, body builder, Ernie, and a pirate.

 This town aint big enough for the two of us.

Halloween Came early

For some reason this years Institute Halloween dance came a week earlier than planned. For my friend Ivy and I, that meant the excitement of dressing up was even closer and we didn't have to wait forever! We had a BLAST! Had to share some pictures.

The only picture we got with cade, his eyes are closed. Gees Cade!

Pre-Dance

Ivy was an 80's chick. We had fun one night making her scrunchies she's wearing.

Cave women...

This is after we cleaned up our mess in the bathroom. It was a disaster.

 Uh...you took my glasses.

 Just realized we're all Blondies...

Another great Halloween! Can't wait for next year!

So long summer

I have finally come to the realization that summer is over. This was the best summer I've had in a REALLY long time thanks to all my great family and friends. Here is a re-cap of how it went...

My brother Scott got married on May 8, 2010 to Tamara in the Mesa, AZ temple

The girls Amy, Me, Mandi

My niece loves to dance! So who better to dance with that her?

On our way back to Boise, we stopped in St. George and went to Zion's national park.

Brad and I were surprised to see how huge the canyon was!

On May 12th (only 4 days after Scott's wedding) we dropped Brad off at the MTC. He's currently serving in Fresno, California and loving it! But I do miss him!

Sister Love! :D

Of course got the wake boarding in and can now catch some air while holding onto the rope! That's a good accomplishment!

Floating the Boise River...

My Best friends wedding... Mallory got married in the Boise Temple on July 31st. It was a great day and we had lots of fun planning everything.

Camping with the siblings at Pine View Lake

This is Aislyn's cheese face when we take pictures of her. Its priceless!

Me, Brian, Cade, and Kim went to Jump Creek a couple times to go cliff jumping. First time for everything and it was definitely the scariest thing I've ever done! So fun tho and can't wait to go again!!

Love these boys!

White Water Rafting with the whole family plus Brian on the upper part of Payette (stair case)!

We had 10 people so we had to split up into two rafts.

One of the things we had talked about doing all summer long was going to a rodeo. This was the Caldwell Night Rodeo, and of course we had to dress up!

Kim and I voted we were best dressed!!!

It's so good to have the boys coming home from their missions! It's been a long 2 years and we are all excited to see them and can't wait for the rest to come home!

One day my mom and I took my niece to monkey buizness to play!

And to end the summer.....Brian and I went to the Western Idaho Fair! It was a great ending to a great summer! Brian and I had never had an ice cream potato before, and it was delicious. And we couldn't help to get some new shades!!  We also got a potato on a stick that we didn't get a picture of. We were representin' the state of Idaho! haha
