Merry Christmas!!

Okayyy so I am very behind on my blogging, please forgive! I have been a very busy little gal :) This is also going to go from most recent to latest where Ive fallen behind on Blogging :). Merry Christmas everyone!! I have a wonderful day! I know Santa treated our family very well this year! Thanks Santa :] Tradition that Jess and I always open up pjs from Aunt Sandy on Christmas Eve. Here we are modeling them off. Thanks Aunt Sandy!I helped Daddy put lights on the house when I got home last week from school. The house looks good!! One of my favorite things about Christmas is the lights!! Jason took me out one night to go look at all of them, oh man arent they just pretty!
Last Monday night we got a call from our cousin Cody from Montana, my cousin Wyatt was in a wrestling accident. Here is his story to sum up what happened.

Monday night the 21st of Dec, Wyatt got injuried during warm ups before his wrestling match. He sustained a cervical injury at the C-4 vertebrae which has left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. He has gone through successful surgery to stabilize and fuse the vertebrae in his neck. He will be here in the ICU at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital until after the New Year than he will be transferred to Denver to a hospital that specializes in spinal cord injuries. There is still a chance he will regain some movement in his arms after the swelling subsides. he currently has some movement in his left arm and very minimal use in his right. He is currently sedated to help him rest so he doesn't try to pull the tubes out.

Yesterday Wyatt was looking good but during the night he started to have some problems and the medical staff seem to think it could be from the trach. He is very swollen from his neck up, and having a heard time breathing and cant open his eyes because of it.

We were in Montana early this week with him and will be headed back there next week. He is a strong boy and a fighter!! Hopes are high for him right now. Love you cousin Wy. You can keep up with him through his site if you are interested.

Cousin Cody, Steffy, Jess, Myself and Cousin Wy the weekend of Cody's graduation in 2007.

While I was up at school a bunch of my friends and I got together for an ugly sweater party. We sure looked attractive that night :)

I was able to see Cousin Brooks one last time before he left for his mission in Tacoma WA. He will be such a great missionary! Love you Cousin.
My roommates and I decorated our room this year for Christmas, We didnt want to take it down before we left because it was so adorable! Sorry about the mess, just had to take pictures before the decor was taken down :)

Over Thanksgiving break I made Court some cookies, She is OBSESSED with pigs! Mom found this recipe so I had to make them for her! She said they were so adorable that she didnt want to eat them.. but poof they were gone very fast :)

Over Thanksgiving Break Jess was able to meet up with Lauren. They must have planned the puffy vests :]
Jess and I on black friday, need I say more on how tired we were. hahaa
Playing games with my friends that came home for the holidays.
the typical best friends picture :]
Eating lunch at Geraldines Bakery over Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving was awesome, We just stayed home this year and spend it with Aunt Jackie, Uncle Dan, Am, Trav and Bridge. It was nice to just relax, Jess and I unfortunately spent a lot of our time working on homework, doing papers and last minute stuff before finals. Jess and I did awesome this year! I ended with all As and a B as my lowest and Jess had all As and an A- as her lowest! It was so nice to see in the end that our hard work did end up paying off!! Like Grandma Baker always says, we must take after her :]

I am enjoying myself home for the holidays; next semester is going to be very time consuming. After this semester I only have two classes left for prerecs. I am so excited!! Hope everything is going well for everyone! Im glad I finally got to blog, I was sure missing it :]

Merry Christmas everyone!!

life!!

Ive been super busy with school and I promise Ill sit down this week and share my life with everyone :)

Traditional....

So its tradition now that every Thanksgiving Mom takes pictures of Jess and I. She adds them to her Thanksgiving cards that she makes for a few close friends and family. Im having the break of my life spending time with family and friends! I couldnt ask for anything better. Ill blog more when I head back to school and share my break with all of you. But here is this years picture that was picked! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Halloween!

Halloween 2009- Jess dressed as a hippie and I dressed as a old school football player girl. We were also cave girls another night, but just didnt get pictures.
I loveeee Halloween! I was excited for it to come, but now that it is over Im pretty sad. Mom was so excited this year for trick or treaters! I talked to her this morning and she said that there was about 200 kids that came to our house last night! Nothing too exciting is coming up this week, I finally can relax from my busy week last week!

Halloween Fun :]

What a great way to start off my day :]

I wish I knew how to save this video but Im not tech smart. I love these JibJab clips.

Hope you enjoy :]

Court, Abbs, Me, Brookie and Bree.

Halloween Clip

catch up..

I love this picture!! It makes me smile every time I see it, so why not make it the start of my entry :] Dad was making fun of the faces Jess and I always pull when it comes to pictures so he wanted to join in.

It has been some time since my last blog. School has kept me extremely busy this week and stressful right now with everything going on. I cannot wait for this week to get over with!

Halloween will be here :] probably one of my favorite holidays, alright well I love all holidays so I guess I cant pinpoint this one.

I havent blogged about when Mom and Daddy came for parents weekend, Im so far behind! It was good to see them and spend time with them! I havent been home for officially a month and I miss spending time with them! Brooke hung out with the family all weekend since hers wasnt able to join in on the fun, Brooke Baker :] We went to dinner the first night they got here and later that night Jess had a KDP presentation so we were able to go hang out with her at that. After Mom and Dad left then Brooke, Bree and I hit up My Sisters Keeper at the Bengal. Even though I knew what was going to happen I sill bawled! Mom and Daddy came back for the game on Saturday and hung out a little with them before the game and after. While Mom was here we went to the scrapbook store and discovered that Scrappin Essentials carries beads for watch bands. Lets just say that I had to leave quick so I didnt keep eyeing the beads and give in... But I ended up giving in later that week. Jess and a few other friends met up and made some bands last week. I love mine!! I made one that reminds me of Halloween because of the colors, but I can still wear it for all the ISU events going on. Jess's turned out really cute too, Ill have to get pictures taken so I can share how creative we all were that night!

Last week Syd came to visit the girls. I had a blast with all the Smith sisters here! They are all so adorable! Before Syd left she wanted all of us to get together for a little costume party to celebrate Halloween since its a holiday everyone just lovesss!! Abbs, Jamie and I dressed up as cave girls while the Smith sisters were the Spice Girls. :]

I am still debating what I want to dress up for this weekend, I guess we will see what mood Im in this weekend :] I cant wait for this week to start slowing down, Im hoping things will start to slow down for me soon!

Jess went home last weekend to spend time with Mom and Dad, I wasnt able to because I had a workshop up here for the class Im teaching. Jess and Mom made new address change cards to send out to everyone. They turned out adorable!! Im so proud of my creative girls!

Well I better run once again to finish readings so my busy week will end! Hope everyone is doing well! Ill blog soon, this is totally random but I cannot wait for TIME CHANGE this weekend!! Ohhhh ya, hellooo extra hour of sleep :]

longggg night :]

Ohhh my my my, I am soo excited for Halloween to be here! I finally had time to take a picture of our door. Everyone loves it! We get comments on it all the time! :] The inside of our apartment is all decorated as well. I just didnt want to share it with the world since it is extremely messy right now :]

Mom and Dad passed through last night coming home from Cali. I wish they would have taken pictures while they were there with everyone, but next time :] Ive been staying really busy this week with my midterms. Last night was a super long night for Court, Brookie and I. Brooke was sick all last week and she hasnt been getting better :[ She called me about ten oclock last night asking if I would take her to the ER. She was having difficulties getting deep breaths. So we all went to the ER on Monday night around ten! She is doing alot better and they found out that she as inflamed lungs, they gave her some medicine today when she went back in and they are watching her closely. They did all these tests on here and we ended up not getting out of there until after 4 in the morning ! We are all dragging our feet today :] As most everyone knows Im a nerd and I enjoy anything that has to do with the body! While we were stuck in the ER waiting room Court and I got to see soo much! It was awesome, I wont explain everything because it might make some sick of what we were able to see. After Brooke was done getting her tests we were allowed in the back with her to sit and wait. In the back it was even cooler! Ha ha if that is even a word and possible! Because it was okay with Brooke and the sweet Doctor, I was able to look at Brookes xrays of her chest! It was totally awesome! I cannot wait until I get into the program here at ISU! When someday I will be the one taking those! It was so sweet, we told the Doctor that if he didnt meet us last night his night absolutely wouldnt of been the same :] I cannot believe that from 10 to 4 we learned so much about the body :] I might just possibly find excuses just to spend time in the ER because it was so much fun! ha ha jk, but no really.

Happy Birthday Hank, Kailey and Durr! I wish I was back home so I could celebrate their birthdays with them. Durr lives back here so I made him a cake and all the boys came over! I love celebrating birthdays with those boys! Ill find any way to eat cake :]

This weekend is parents weekend here at Idaho State! I am so excited for Mom and Daddy to come hang out with Jess and I! Whoo Whoo! Ill blog asap when I get pictures from this AWESOME weekend coming ahead! :]

ISU Spirit :]

This weekend has been full of friends!! Last night Court, Brookie and I hit up the volleyball game. I had so much fun with these two girls! After the game Brooke and I watched House Bunny! That movie can sure make your night better if you have had a not so good one. I am so thankful to have these girls in my life! I am blessed to have met some amazing friends through college.

On Thursday this week Alex, Bree, Court and I met up for the soccer game. They played U Montana, they killed them so it made it so much better! I cant believe how cold it is getting! We froze to death pretty much, but hot chocolate afterwards made it totally worth it! :]

Today was the usual Saturday and didnt get much done :] I finally got to sleep in this week and catch up on all my sleep that I have missed earlier this week, and I truly did miss it! Jess, Brooke, Kristi and I hit up Seventeen Again, the movie at the Bengal. I was not a huge fan!! I will not ever go and see it again. A lot has been going through my mind this week and this movie possibly could of just made it all even more confusing! But anywho enough about that movie. Court and I then went to the BSU vs ISU volleyball game, again. The girls did awesome! They played awesome and ended up beating Boise! So I dont know why Ive been having this phase about hats, but Im in love! They are officially my new boyfriend :] but really, ha ha. I just had to show my new hat off that I got this weekend shopping with Jess and Aubs! I had an awesome weekend spending time with all my friends and I cant wait for PARENTS weekend this coming weekend here at Idaho State!!

So once again this week has been very stressful, midterms are this Monday. Im very excited to get this semester over with! I love how I say I cant wait for summer, but it will be here sooner than I think. and then school will start winding down for me as well. Wow!!

Mom and Dad fly home from Cali on Monday and I cannot wait to see them! This week has been really tough for me with everything Ive been going through. My family is a huge support in my live and I cant wait to see them. I just got to keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason and there will come a day when that reason will make more sense.

When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long ...

Oh ya.. HAllOWEEN is coming soon :]

hello GREYS thursday..

This week has been super stressful for me with tests and school work! So I decided to find something small once a day to make me smile and give me a quick break, but also make my day. I had fun messing around on youtube and while Jess absolutely loving GLEE I thought I would catch up on a few episodes. This absolutely made my day :] Enoy :]]

And not only to mention that Greys is on tonight as well :]

Last weekend and such..

This past weekend was filled full of fun! Mom, Daddy, Aunt Jackie and Uncle Dan came down on Friday. Uncle Dan and Dad were working on Jess's car because it hasnt been starting. We all went out to dinner at Senor Iguanas, my FAVORITE in Poky. We celebrated Daddys and Uncle Dans birthday while we were there. Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!! They werent expecting anything at all so it made it even better. After the family left Jess and went bowling with her roommate and her friends. It was so much fun! Thanks Sissy :] Saturday was the big homecoming game for ISU! Even though the boys got slaughtered it was still so much fun to hang out with everyone! Here is a picture of Jess and I with friends and the second is with my friend Erin from South Dakota! I love these ladies soo much!!

Midterm week is next week! I cant believe how fast school is flying! Ive been staying really busy with tests and being around my friends, which is good because it takes my mind off things! Mom and Daddy fly to Cali this week to see Dads side of the family. I wish Jess and I were back there, we had a blast in Cali for spring break. Maybe we will go this spring break, that is a hint Mom :]

Weekend and Such...

So its obvious that since my posts have been super short and wayyyy past the blogging date, school is keeping me super busy! I cant believe that midterms are going to be just around the corner shortly. Im excited to get this semester over with, but then its going to kinda be a bummer when new classes come! I cant believe school has gone by sooo fast! Its homecoming here this week and so there is something going on every night! Last night was the bonfire, Court and I went for a little bit until I had to leave to study some homework. Last weekend I went home to celebrate Jays birthday and Rach's baby shower. This picture is kinda in an awkward angle but then again Jays hat was kinda awkward in pictures as well :]] I hope he had an awesome birthday! I had a blast with his family all last weekend and I cant wait to see him soon!
Jays family and I at Rach's baby shower! Im so stinking excited for her boy and Lynds's baby to get here too! It was good to see Jay's mom since it has been since I think Lynds's wedding! Rach got some adorable clothes and awesome things! We played a few games and I must say for not being a mom or have anything to do with baby food I rocked and guessing what flavor was in the jar :]
Last week when it was Make a Wish night at Coldstone, Abbs, Court and I went to donate to the wonderful cause! It is so nice to have roommates that you get along with! I love them to death!!
For ambassadors last week, we all had to help out with the majors fair held here on campus. We, the newbies as we are referred to, had to help out and decided since it was the first time we were all helping out together why not take a picture right! Ambassadors is going great! I gave my first tour last week to a boy that was from the Boise area. I was extremely scared but after we got to talking it went GREAT! Craig had an agreement with all of us that if we finished these books that we were working on, the boxes that were left in the hallway then we wouldn't have office hours next week. As of yesterday there was 34 boxes left so cross our fingers that we can get them finished and no office hours next week. Ill be giving more tours this week now that there is no school for high schools in Idaho this Thursday or Friday! I cant wait :]]
We baked Abbs a cake for her birthday and she loved it! Yellow cake with Cream Cheese frosting! My piece was the non frosted one :]]
Ill sit down and blog more when I have time I got to head to office hours right now. Here we come books! The count down is on :]]]

Jay!!

Happy 18th birthday Jay! I hope you have an awesome day! I love you!!

I can not wait to go this year! I remember going when Jess and I were little with Mom and Dad, it is an awesome feeling to donate and help out such an awesome organization and treat your tummy :]

After looking at what Im posting Im thinking this post should be all about tummies :]

Here is another treat to treat yourself with this week! Whoo what a good deal! I love getting coupons in my email. Enjoy!

Tummy number three... Lynds is at the Doctor today waiting to find out what she is having!! Whoo I cannot wait for her baby to be out and Rach's as well! (the pink is for my hope of baby "girl Morrow")

I get to go home this weekend! Im so excited!! Last weekend mom and dad said I wasnt allowed :[ I had to get a few things done here with homework and school so at least I stayed busy. I was joking with Jay that since I wouldnt be able to watch him last week he probably would have THe best game of the season, and boy was I right. I was stinking mad that I couldnt be there to watch him play. That just means that he needs to do it again when Im actually there to watch him now huh :]
I know Mom and Dad miss me like crazy :) and I know they cant wait for me to come home this weekend! ha ha kidding mom! But I cant wait to come home this weekend to spend time with Jays sisters and his mom at Rachs baby shower and time with Jay for his birthday!

Weekend Fun and First Week of School Pictures

Im finally excited to have some time after my long hectic day to post all about my weekend at home! Court, my roommate from Nebraska, came home with me on Friday night to watch the big game with me and mom and dad. It was soo much fun spending time with her this weekend! Jay did an awesome job! Wednesday Night on News Channel 3 was a sports clip with Jay and Mitch on it. Click here to watch it! It was very special that they did this on the boys and for the boys. But anywho Jay did a great job and it was a bummer that he couldnt win his last year, but it was still fun to watch the two boys. Once again I am proud of my pictures of Jay through out the night, but I figured you didnt want to see all of them so here is just a sneak peak of some.. If you look for Jay's head he is the one running through the boys for starting line up on this one. All of the Seniors going out after half time to meet with the other captains, must say Senior Sob will love all of these pictures of the boys :]
During starting line up, Jay waiting for all the boys to give them the uhhhh, good luck jump ?
Court and I at Jays game, she had to represent Nebraska that night! It was freezing she said. "Idaho gets soo cold here in the night time" :]

Saturday we got up and went to the Fair with Mom and Dad. We became millionaires within seconds of entering :]

Last week Court, Abby, Jess, and I met up for Bingo in the SUB. Court was a newbie at bingo and won her very first try! Way to go Court!!

I dont really know why I posted this picture, maybe because of Courtney's obsession with PIGS! She said this isnt even half of them, but her mom told her that she couldnt bring anymore to school with her, so she said she would just pack a suitcase full when she goes home for Thanksgiving.

The first week of school we went chalking on the walks outside of the Vous. Court had the pictures so it took me forever to take them from here until she finally posted them! I drew Court! She is a golfer from Nebraska with curly blonde hair.. I must say I did an awesome job and it looks just like her right?! Abby drew me and I must say she did a fine job at it!

The three of us after chalking! Im so lucky that I have awesome roommates! We get along great and I know I can count on them any time! Thanks for being so great!! I love your girlies :]
