SPRING!! WOOHOO!

Yes, spring is finally here. Some days, it may not exactly seem like it... okay, most days, but it really is here! Flowers are in bloom, the sun shines when it's not hailing or completely cloudy, and there's that feeling in the air when it's a nice sunny day with a gentle spring breeze. Of course, there's been a lot of cold weather with rain and hail, but that's all part of spring too! If it weren't for all of that, there wouldn't be any pretty flowers to admire!

The flowers are blooming...



Noelle and Mandy are happy, so even better! :)





Beanz is even leaning out the window! Something he definitely wouldn't do in the winter :)

Surf's Up

"Brianna. You know why we call her Brianna, right? Uhh, it's a long story..."

Boise!

Well, this last weekend, I had the chance to go down to Boise with Kendall, Amanda, Bonnie, and their mom. We had tons of fun, learned new things, tasted delicious food, and took a bazillion pictures. Since there are so many photos, I'll just post two collages. If you have Facebook and truly want to take extra time to look at the rest of the pictures, they're on there.





"I'm A Mormon!"

Lately, Teddy has been a bit obsessed with mormons. A lot of it has been joking around, but some of it has been serious stuff too and occasionally he'll ask a question about our church and think that it's pretty cool. Anyways, he had me make this sticker for him. Originally, he wanted a sticker that just said, "I'm a mormon," but I'm pretty sure they don't make any like that, so I made him one myself out of a Chicken Little sticker. It works, right? Well, it does for him :)
By the way, Teddy is the foreign exchange student at our school from the Czech Republic. He's in two of my classes, did cross country, and is now doing tennis, so we've gotten to know each other pretty well...

It's beginning to look a lot like springtime...

Hello everyone!! Yes, it's been an eternity since I last posted something on here, but I finally did! Hopefully the next post will come sooner than this one...

This was our absolutely fun park day after our last Stake basketball game. The weather was beautiful!

The track meet I went to over the weekend a few weeks ago. Nice job David (x2), Jamin, Alex, Kyle, and Cody!

Our Sandpoint tennis match. Kalli Jones and I were partners and we won! Everyone did pretty darn awesome on our girl's JV!

Our sleepover with the Fagan girls last week. We've started a new tradition of making a mini music video every time we get together now. Jaynie even helped us out with this one. It's pretty fun :)

Time Tested Beauty Tips

Audrey Hepburn shared this poem with her children on the last Christmas Eve she spent here on Earth. I just like what it says and felt like posting it!

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Grand Coulee: Pioneer Day Weekend

Over Pioneer Day Weekend/my birthday, my sisters and I went camping with Dalton Gardens Ward. The rest of my family came up on my birthday and had a blast! Just not so much the next day. :) Anyways, here is that boatload of pictures I took!
