Sunday Funday

Sundays always seem to be great days. And here's why:

a. Going to church! Went with Jennifer and Wesley :)

b. It was beautiful, sunny weather. Met up with Meels and Parker at the park.

c. Playing games with the fam. Tonight we played one of our favorites - Trivial Pursuit Junior.

I will keep this person's name anonymous, but this was one of the highlights of the night.

Question: "Which word goes best with dragon? Snap, vegetable, or mammal?"

Answer Given: "Fly"

????

self-timer mishap

d. Playing Boggle against Mel and Dave. We've played hundreds of times, yet I've only had two victories. Why do I keep trying? I don't know. But today was one of those victory days :) #addicted #theproudmoments

e. Movie night. Tonight we watched Ice Age which is a movie I haven't seen in a long time and I forgot how funny it is. We watched the 45 min condensed version by fast forwarding and only watching the parts with Sid in it. Too many quotable quotes. . . everything that comes out of Sid's mouth is stupidly hilarious.

Needless to say, I am excited for Ice Age 4 to come out. As we all know, usually too many sequels can be a bad thing (exhibit A: Land Before Time 13). But Sid is sooo worth it.

we watched this clip over and over again. Go to 1:28. seriously.

       

so excited!

Leaving for Provo in two days and I am so excited to see these people!
minus katy who is on a mission. . . 

travelocity

these last four months I've traveled more than I ever have in my life. Since January I've been in 16 different planes, 8 time zones, and spent the night in over 20 locations.

Most recently, I visited Washington DC for Memorial Day and Taylor was able to travel to visit me in Seattle! Visits and vacations make summer all the better :)

we went bike riding in the park

visited Snoqualmie Falls. . .in the rain

 I cut myself some slack because today I am home sick lying on the couch. guess I'm all partied out. even blogging makes me tired. Today I slept for 12 hours and then sat all day watching Bones and eating Great Harvest cinnamon chip bread. hmmm so I guess worse things have happened.

BUT the exciting news is! 

the next trip on the agenda is going to Provo with my mom to run Ragnar! I also get to see some of my besties and hang out with fam. so stoked.

seattle summer

this is my first time being home for spring semester, which means that almost everyone is still at school and I am home :)

However, I have been keeping myself busy. I began a "spring cleaning" project in my bedroom just after I got home. . . and it's still going. I can't believe how much weird stuff I've saved over the years! I went through my drawers and closet and cleaned out my clothes. I have a hard time getting rid of things, either because they have some weird sentimental value or I got it for a really good deal so I want to keep it.

. . . like bright colored vests, ugly hats, and my "chalk bandits" disguise
 (remember those Claire and Keri?) ha.
       

finished product. . . organized closet!

and lots of clothes to donate to value village :)

When I am not sorting/re-organizing my whole room. . . .

I go to the temple with my mom :)

I try and get in shape.

 Ha it's been a slow and painful process. I am running Ragnar in June and need to work up to 21 miles. So for the time being I jog with the Relief Society ladies in the mornings (haha) or do P90x. Usually that just ends up with me lying on the yoga mat in child's pose, watching Tony Horton and his crew "bring it!" what a man.

I hang out with my dog. Lame, but weirdly fun.

Visit my sister/niece/nephew!!

My mother and I took a spontaneous roadtrip to Oregon to see my sister's new apartment.

Anne and I read books

painted finger nails

played with make-up and my toothbrush

did P90x together - she was actually pretty good at it.

                                   

we made brownies

she is THE cutest. and she looooves princesses :) 

                               

my new nephew william is the most precious little human being :)

Sounders soccer games in Seattle 

how many dreads can you fit in one hat? 

Relax up at the cabin in Snoqualmie

still snowing up there!

nothing like watchin a movie in the morning with oatmeal and milk :)

Hang out with Andrea - the newly engaged woman! 

Andrea and I are the only ones home for the summer. . . because Keri is now in New Zealand, Claire is married and living in Idaho, and Anna is back in Provo for spring term. miss these girls.

So Andrea and I spend our time doing fun things like looking at http://attackofthecute.com/ for hours.

This is our favorite discovery thus far. . . who knew sloths could be so frightening

oh. . .and in celebration of Cinco de Mayo we made taquitos and my mom even cutely decorated the table :)

in 4 DAYS I'm headed to Hawaii with my fam

and in 18 DAYS I'm going to Washington DC. eeeeeeek! so excited. life rocks.
