May (so far)

Last weekend I got to go to my close friend, Annie McMurray (Briney)'s wedding. This is Me, Annie, and Melinda. We all worked at Jacob Lake together.

Sunday was Mother's Day and we got to go to church with my Grandma and Grandpa Jones.

David, Grandpa, Grandma, Kristine(cousin), and Me.

I got bored one day and decided to try braiding Katie's hair into a single braid that wraps around. It was just an experiment but I thought it looked pretty cool.
A bunch of us went to the drive in. We had a pretty sweet set up.

We just played around while we were waiting for the movie to start.

Tennessee

I got to take a quick trip to Tennessee between semesters. Janel came down from Michigan and Aaron and his family came up from Georgia. We celebrated Easter while all of us were together by having an Easter egg hunt for the kiddos and an Easter dinner.

Brooklynn, William, and Jonathan hiding in the shower while we hid the eggs in the back yard.

Aaron's family and Derek had to leave on Sunday to get back to real life but Janel and her girls stayed the whole week with me. It was so good to spend time with them.

Little Katers is so stinking adorable!!

Brooklynn could not get enough of the trampoline. She did not waste an opportunity to jump. She would wake me up in the morning and ask me to jump with her. One morning I told her that we couldn't yet because we were not dressed. She proceeded to have me pick out her clothes and help her get dressed. Once she was dressed she informed me that it was my turn to get dressed. How can you say no to that?

Brooklynn is like unto a fish. She LOVES water in any form. When I told her we were going to go swimming in the big bath tub with bubbles she was so excited. She made sure we did this more than once.

At the end of the week I drove back to Michigan with Janel and then flew back to Utah the next day. I actually went to 10 states during this week long break, due to traveling and a few adventures we took while we were in Tennessee. We went down to Scottsboro Alabama to the Unclaimed Baggage Store. It is definitely my favorite place to shop. I got 5 new shirts, and 3 pairs of shoes. Most of them still had tags on them and I don't think I spent more than $8 on one item.

It was a great break! I got some much needed time with Janel and her beautiful girls, and it was good to be in Tennessee for a bit. I hadn't been to Tennessee in the spring for 4 years, and it was so BEAUTIFUL!!

Back to School

Another semester at BYU-I. It is so crazy how different each semester turns out. We are only about 2 weeks in, but this has already proved to be an exciting semester.

WEEK ONE!

-I had a full blown mono relapse. Talk about rough timing!!

-We moved into a BRAND NEW apartment only to have at least one flood a day.

- Easter dinner complete with easter egg hut.

We celebrated two of my roommates birthdays Katie, and Aleena.

WEEK TWO!

- Flooding continues, they discover there is a broken pipe under one of the bedroom floors. We are put into a hotel room for two night while they fix the problem.

- Pool party at the hotel two nights in a row :)

- Friday night dance party

- The Neighbors Concert

We also have our weekly Sunday dinner with the Burt's aka Megan Crawford my childhood best friend.

Honestly this blog post does not even begin to tell how crazy and fun this semester has already been. I just haven't thought to take pictures. As it gets warmer outside I will have more things to blog about. Tis the season to get outside and have lots of fun :)
