Spring Break = VEGAS!!!

This year for Spring Break, I needed exactly that a BREAK!!! So my mom, Sterling and I decided that we would hit up good ol' Las Vegas. We all had so much fun spending time together. Our first night there we checked into the hotel and then went and hit up the casino. Yes ladies and gentlemen I am a rebel and gambled without being 21! This crazy Asian dealer asked me for my I.D. at my very first table so I had to leave, but after that it was smooth sailing. After some gambling that night we went to a comedy show and we all loved it. There were three guys that performed, the first one was not so great, the second one was really funny, and the third one was absolutely hilarious. The next day was a fun filled day, it was my most favorite because we started the day of with SHOPPING! Luckily for me Sterling is a great brother and put up with it for about an hour and half before he left to go gamble. Ros and I shopped for a few more hours and got some cute stuff. I was so sad because I found this Chanel ring that I absolutely loved but they didn't have it in my size, but I decided it was okay because I can always hit up Chanel.com and find it there haha. After some intense shopping, we went and layed by the pool for a few hours and just relaxed and read our books. When we were done at the pool we went back to the room and got ready to go out that night. We went to dinner and then we went to The Blue Man Group. All of us agreed that it was amazing and we would definitely go to it again. We all were so intrigued with it the whole time and laughed throughout the whole thing. After the show was over we went over to The Stratosphere and got unlimited passes to all of the rides there. We rode them for hours and this sexy beast of a guy complete with beer belly, a bald head, and only about half of his teeth hit on Ros. We all had a good laugh about that one! We stayed out super late that night and made it a good end to the trip. We all had a blast and we were sad to leave but at the same time it is also good to go home.

Updates of my adventures!

It has been a few months since my last post and I have a lot of catching up to do! I have been so busy with school and the holidays that I didn't have time to breathe, let alone blog! So much has happened in the past few months and I have loved every minute of it. Here is a little recap of what happened...

- Maggie got baptized! It was such a special day and I am so grateful that I got to be a part of it with her. I feel way bad that I don't have any pictures of this. She asked me to talk at it so I was a little bit too worried about that and didn't take my camera.

- I finished my first semester of the elementary education program at UVU. I was so nervous about finals and everything because it was a lot of work with 21 credit hours but I managed to pull it off with all A's except for one B+... dang psychology!

- The week after school ended Zac came home!!! It was the longest day of my life. His plane was supposed to get in at about 8:30 but it got delayed until after 10:00! But after two years of waiting I knew that two more hours wouldn't kill me! Zane and I went and decorated an over pass earlier in the day but it was so foggy on the way home from the airport that Zac couldn't even see it. But it's the thought that counts right? haha But it is amazing to have him home! I absolutely love it!




- Then there was Christmas. It was so much fun this year and I loved getting to spend time with my family! It was great!

- On January 1st Sawyer turned 10! I can't even believe how old he is and how big he has gotten. I remember watching him for the first time when he was two weeks old and I haven't gone longer than about 5 days without seeing him since. I absolutely love him and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of his life and have him be a part of mine. He is just like a little brother to me and I wouldn't have it any other way.



- After the beginning of the year I made the move back down to Provo. I really have had a lot of fun. Thanks to my dad and Jordan for moving all of my stuff down for me and to my mom for helping me get it all moved in. It is a good experience to be down here in a college town (even though I venture home at least once a week) and getting to know some new people down here. I am having a blast and will post more about my adventures as they come along!

Princesses on Ice

My cute little Maggie and Ellie had been asking me for so long when we were going to have a princess day and I kept telling them that I wasn't sure. But little did they know that I had a little trick up my sleeve! I showed up at their house one night and gave them tiaras and told them to get ready because we were having princess night with real live princesses... We went to Disney Princesses on Ice! It was so much fun to get to spend time with my girls. It was fun for me to see them having so much fun, and the many hugs, kisses, and thank you's I got throughout the night made it perfect. I absoultely love spending time with these two girls! They had smiles on their faces the whole night and we were all singing and dancing along with the princesses in the show! The girls both agreed that Cinderella was their favorite princess of the night. Every time a princess would come out she would wave and Ellie would say, "Oh Morgan! Did you see her just wave at me?" (Ring a bell Lisa hehe). Thanks to Kevin and Linda for letting me take your girls! We all had a blast!!

The Circus is In Town!!!

On Friday I was lucky enough to get to take Sawyer, Maggie, and Ellie to the circus! For the past 3 or 4 years I have taken Sawyer and Maggie but this was the first year that Ellie came and she absolutely loved it! It was so much fun to see their faces light up and to see their smiles from ear to ear. Every time something exciting happened (which was like every 20 seconds haha) I would hear, "WHOA" and "WOW" from Sawyer and Maggie and Ellie would look at me with the most amazed look and scream, "THAT WAS AMAZING!!" It was so much fun to see them have such a good time and I can't wait to take them again next year!

Brad Paisley

On Saturday Kirstin and I went to the Brad Paisley concert and it was so so so much fun! We had 3rd row seats so it couldn't have been any better! We only get to see each other about once a month if we are lucky, sometimes it's longer! So it was so much fun to get to spend time together. I swear I have the worst luck with camera's and we got to the concert and I realized my battery was completely dead. So I had to get pictures from Kirstin, luckily she is smart and brought a charged one. We didn't take very many pictures because we were too busy dancing and singing as loud as we could!

My Little Princesses

Maggie and Ellie are my most favorite girls ever. They are just like little sisters to me and I cherish every second that I have with them. I found out about a princess contest for little girls to enter and I knew I had to enter these two! We had so much fun getting ready and being girly and taking the pictures. A huge thanks to Rick for taking them for us!!!!! You did a great job and we all had so much fun! To vote for Maggie and Ellie to win the princess contest go to http://www.pinkdaffodilphoto.blogspot.com/ on Wednesday or Thursday (9.16 & 9.17). Thanks again Rick! The girls and Ihad a blast getting to spend time together and with you!!!!

Boating Fun!!!!

A couple of weeks ago my mom and the Stephens planned a surprise boating trip for me for a late birthday/graduation present. But of course just my luck the day that they had initially planned it we woke up to a giant storm! So my mom told me what was going on and Linda called and asked if we could go the weekend after. Not all of my friends could come the next weekend, but it didn't matter! I had a blast with those who were able to make it. I was bummed that Maggie couldn't come because I wanted to see her water ski so bad, but that means that I will just have to go with Stephens another time, dang! :) Here are just a few pictures from our little adventure. Thank you so much mom and Stephens! I couldn't ask for a better family! :)
P.S. I seem to have accidentally deleted all of the wakeboarding pictures on my camera.... Oops!

BBQ with Rigby's and Stephens

So clear back in like the middle of July (I have been a slacker blogger...), the Rigby's, Stephens and I finally got together and had a bbq. We all had a lot of fun and it was really good to have my two favorite families (besides my own of course) get to know each other a little bit better. We went swimming, had some amazing steak, and finished it off with a fire and smores and roasted starbursts! It was great to all spend some time together and to share some hilarious stories. Let's do it again soon!
