I LOVE Jack Attack!



This weekend I fell in LOVE with Jack Attack! I have always heard about 24 and how much I would LOVE it if I watched it but never got the time. I have been in love with Alias, a show which is like 24, but since Alias is off the air I was ok to move on. Can I just say, don't you think it is interesting on all these show (well Alias, 24, and Lost) the main leader/character is named Jack? I think it is pretty cool. I was thinking of naming my first son Jack, but then he would have all these characters to live up too? Do you realize they save the world? I just don't know if he could do it?

So this weekend since all of our friends decided to leave town for conference we decided to become friends with Jack Attack. On Friday night we went and rented the sixth season of 24. I am VERY proud to say that in less than 48 hours we finished the whole season... with watching all of general conference and two basketball games and we all got our running in as well. Some may think we are crazy... I couldn't be more proud of us!



Hour one I made a new kind of popcorn, white chocolate popcorn, (thanks Natiloo) I have never made before for the event and it was SO good!



Hour two getting into position to watch the show!



Hour twenty we realized we had been in the same spot for 20 hours!!!



Hour 30 we realize we had lost Ash to sleep but we had to keep going to finish in time!



Hour 36 we are realizing we are getting close to the end of the season!!!



This was probably our favorite thing we did while watching Jack Attack was every time there was a commercial you have to guess what the time is going to be when It comes back from the break. Scores, Tris: 4, Ash: 1, Chels: 1, Emo:1! Tris came out on top! way to go girl! This is a picture of me by the ONE I got because it was in the second to last episode... I almost didn't get any...



Getting ready to start the last disc! What a moment!



The even bigger moment was starting the final episode... I am going to miss Jack Attack...




Yeah we are DONE with Season Six... and it even ended on a good note! I love Jack Attack! I probably said that saying at least 50 times this weekend! I just LOVE the man!

Happy Birthday Little Brother!



Today is Nate's 20th birthday! Nate is serving a mission in Norway and I miss him like CRAZY! Nate is seriously the perfect little brother. We HATED each other for so long until I moved to College and we became best friends! I don't know what I would do with out him. He is just the greatest!





The 20 things I love about Nato most!!!

20. That he is the only red head in the family
19. One time he called me from the bathroom
18. That he is amazing at Basketball
17. That he can talk to anyone around him
16. How protective he is over his sisters
15. How he will watch a click flick with his three sisters
14. The day that he called me his freshmen year because he didn’t have any food and he just wanted to eat.
13. The night he called me at midnight because MJ won’t give him a ride home and he knew his soft sister would
12. The time I started to cry about nothing and he referred to me as a “faucet” I can just turn crying on and off
11. How easy going Nato is
10. How at his Homecoming dance (that I was a chaperone at, thank you Scott B) he came and got me to dance with him.
9. How he always opens the door for women
8. How thoughtful he is
7. How he always just makes me feel better when I am down
6. How happy he is every time I hear from him on his mission
5. How hard of a worker he is
4. How every time we would watch a sporting event he would explain to me what was going on
3. How in his letters he won’t say who his favorite sister is but I am the one that writes him every week so I think we know who it is
2. How cute he is when he plays with Sydell, Taige, Lilly and Sedrah
1. How he is the best little brother in the whole world and all the dark space in between






Happy Birthday! I just LOVE you!

Happy Birthday Lovely

Last year at this time I meant my best friend Laura.Today is her 25th birthday! Although she is thousands of miles away from me we still have a blast together. Good thing we have technology or I dont know what i would do? Laura and I were friends right from the beginning! We had the best times together and I am so lucky to have her as my best friend! Next year at this time we will be living in Scotland together? (Maybe) Everyone seriously needs a friend like Laura. She just makes everything better! I can't wait for her to come to Utah and meet everyone! Happy Birthday Lovely! Miss you!

These are just some of the great memories we have together!

Last year on this exact day (I know because I wrote it in my journal) this is what I was doing?








What a difference? Why do I live in with the snow again?

100 Dreams!!!

As of late I have been really thinking what I want to do in my life. I am graduating from College in December than I don't know what I want to do for sure? There are so many options for me. I would love to move out of the country, move out of the state of Utah, work for Walt Disney, move to DC. these are just my top ideas right now. Let's be honest the sky is the limit. I was telling Ashley Taylor about this and some how we got on the subject of Dreams. As one of my hero's Walt Disney said "All Dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them." Man do I have the courage!!!

After thinking about dreams for a while I started to write them down. It has been great. I have a list of 100 dreams I want to accomplish in this life! I "enCOURAGE" you to try it! You won't regret it!!!

Missing the Princess Club!

When I lived in Florida i realized i am a Princess. Like every little girl does. I found my two best friends Princess Belle, and Princess Snow White. Us princesses had the DREAM life. We would do everything together. We would lay out every day in the AMAZING Florida weather. We had the life! We all worked at the Magic Kingdom where my house is, the castle. :) I would go back to this life style in a second. I miss my princess Snow White. I am lucky enough to be with Belle everyday but we miss Snow White.

The princess club was formed while living there. This isn't just any club? Not just anyone is welcome into the club. it is a pretty big deal to be in? Just a few reasons you would want to be in the club?

* you are royalty
* you always are beautiful
* you make little girls dreams come true
* you get a happily ever after story EVERYDAY
* you are considered to have the qualities or characteristics of a princess
* who wouldn't want that married to a prince live in a castle
* you are loved by all
* you have servants
* your friends are AMAZING!!!

These are just some of the top reasons why you would want to be in the club! We will be excepting applications from here on out.

You can see for yourself if you want to be a member of the club... We have an incredible time together. I guess you could say I am just missing my dream world today!!!

Sister bonding!!!

this weekend was the GREATEST! I got to spend it with my sister KA. I always love when I get to see her because I miss both my sisters so much. I wish I lived in DC with them... But I have to "get that degree."

KA flew in on Thursday night. I was in Orem for a dentist appointment but had to come back to Logan for class. I came down on Friday afternoon. KA and I hung out with mom and dad. My dad and I went on a bike ride because it was so beautiful in Orem. That night we all had dinner and just hung out together. Whenever KA and I get together I would say she brings out the best side of me. We just laughed and laughed and laughed for hours.

Saturday morning we woke up at three in the morning to drive to Moab. KA and her best friend Ashley ran the half marathon. I sadly didn't run it because I didn't sign up and I had to run a little further than the marathon. We got there around 6:30 in the morning to check in. We slept in the car for a while then the buses were leaving at 8:30. I decided to ask a local where to run at. Good move on my part. I think I ran the greatest run of my entire life. For people who run understand you have good running days and bad. Well Saturday was an amazing running day. I ran in this canyon that was amazing. I didn't have my camera so I was a little bummed but I got the mental shots for sure.

After I was done I ran over to the finish line so I could see them cross. I was so proud of them both. They did an amazing job. They finished the Marathon in 2:10. (I dont have any pictures because they are on KA's camera) Way to go KA and Ash. We drove home that afternoon.

Now I remember when I lived in Florida there was one thing I would crave more than anything and that is Cafe Rio. KA is the same way.We went to Cafe Rio for dinner with one of her friends. Our parents went to St. George so we had the house to ourselves. We went to Joe and Jaime's to visit with them. They are so great. Joe was hilarious! We came home around 10:30 and we were both exhausted. We got into bed and fell ended our perfect day by watching My Best Friends Wedding. What a great movie! The only thing we were missing was MJ.

This morning we got up and made the best whole wheat waffles. They were amazing. We went to church and cut a little early to go to see Aunt Edna and Sally's graves. I love going to see them. I left to come back to Logan and cried the whole way here because I miss my sisters so much.

It was an amazing weekend. All we needed to top off the weekend was MJ for the triple threat. I am so glad I got to spend time with sister KA. She is so incredible. I want to be just like her. We had a blast together and I cant wait to see her again!!! Lub you sister!



This is what you look like after you run 15 miles and you dont want to smell on the car ride home. Probably the greatest i've looked in a while.

My mommy before she left!



Best sisters! MJ is on the phone. You were there in spirit girl!
