Family

I love my family.....especially cute little sassy step-sisters

Favorite Friday - Mashed Potatoes

Ummm this is the perfect after Thanksgiving post!!! I LOVE mashed potatoes. Actually I think it is that I love gravy.....but it is not acceptable to just eat bowls of gravy soooo.....mashed potatoes are a necessity. It reminds me of being young and being with family and Sunday dinner. This is my comfort food...I just love mashed potatoes and for some reason this reminded me of frosting......BUH...and now I am reminded of KFC....BUH....and now I am reminded of what Ginger said at Red Robin...BUH.....

My Thanksgiving Post

It is funny how one single night can change everything. I had a seriously long Thanksgiving post. I mean it was long. But in just 12 hours.....so much has changed. I have realized that there are so many things that are so not constant in my life. But there are two that are.....

My Family - Woo what a year guys right? I mean last year I called you collect. Seriously, I am so grateful for my family. My mother is such an example to me. She is exactly how a lady should be and she tried so hard to teach me that. She has loved me without out fail or condition my entire life. Her love for the gospel has helped me cultivate MY love for the gospel. She is my hero. My father is who I have acquired most of my great personality traits. He is funny and caring and loves the gospel. I have never known him to turn people away when it comes to service and he fiercely loves and protects his family. I have put he and my mother through a lot....and they still love me. He is a Broncos fan...but I still love him and am so grateful for the relationship we have. My Step-Mother, Lori, is so great. She is creative and thoughtful and accepted me with all my faults...and when they got married, I had many. I have great step-siblings that I love and I am enjoying getting to know them better each day. Seriously...it sucks when the siblings you inherit are WAY better looking than you are...don't believe me? Go check out the picture wall in my dad's house...all totally cute and then Jen's Super Sweet Sixteen. Bangs and all. I am cultivating and renewing friendships with cousins that I love and aunts and uncles I adore. I have grandparents who love me (some of whom even come to see me in shackles) and support me and still think I walk on water even though I have dang near drowned. I love you all!!! Plus my kids...they may be dogs...but I am thankful for that little white one every day for giving me the courage to leave.

My Savior and The gospel - I know what I feel. I know my testimony. And that, is enough.

Sometimes the best part IS the t-shirt

Umm..the movie sucked...the t-shirt rocked..check and check.

Jordan and Jon...whats goin' on?

The night I was allowed to be 13

My sweet Joey makes me swoon

See I told you

Still drawing screaming fans

Seriously OK....this guy.....oh how I loved him....turns out...I still do

Happy Birthday Auby

Joey...I'm old enough to make out with you now

Aubry comes through.....loved the shirts

The night I became a republican for Aubry

So I threw Auby a little birthday party....and I had it at Chuck E Cheese.....and if anyone knows Auby you know that is the antithesis of what Auby is. And so Miss Auby's white trash poser party was born. Basically we had to dress up like something we are not. Like Auby......granola girl, BFF....sports fanatic, Lara.......snowboard girl, Jen.....republican...big hair and all...thanks pageant training.

TWSS

I will refer you to Miss Auby's blog for this one...let me just say.....thats what she said has brought me more joy in the last two years than almost ANYTHING!!!!!!
