sister.

I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!

I decided to blog once a week about one of my family members! This week it's my Mandini Weenie!

My oldest sister Mandi.. anyone who knows her knows how talented she is. Everytime I talk to her she's always planning some kind of party or get together. She's always doing some sort of project and the outcome is always perfect. There is nothing this girl can't do! She's such a go getter and always motivated to do good and give to everybody around her. She's pretty freaking funny as well. She knows how to push my buttons and her and Katie always gang up on me and make fun of my weirdness but in the end we all end up laughing.(Most of the time) I love whenever we are listening to any kind of music Mandi dances salsa to it! haha. She's a freaking good dancer too! I love that Mandi can be in her pj's with no make-up on and still look glamorous. I love that she's always in style and wearing all these crazy clothes that only her model like body can pull off. I love how tough Mandi is. She rarely complains about anything and always brings me back to reality and always tells me to buck up when I'm being a huge baby. Mandi is real. She doesn't care what people think and will tell you what she thinks of you. Every girl should strive to be as strong and succesful as she. I look to up to her so much and hope to be like her one day... When we were growing up everything Mandi did I thought was soooo cool! I liked Ace of Base because she did, I bought plaid boxers because she did, and I always dreamed of one day having my first pair of Doc Martens.. (it never happened) haha... To this day I still think everything she does is cool! I LOVE YOU MANDI!!!!

ketchup and mud.

HELLOOOOOO!!!! Happy Summer Sunshine everybody. Here is a couple pics from after our 4 wheeler trip up the canyon. Look how dirty Tyson and me's faces are!! I promise I didn't smear the mud on our faces.... The top pic is me with my new favorite shirt the my bestest friend/cousin/roommate got me! I LOVE KETCHUP!

Love this picture.

Hello my beautiful humans. This picture is a couple weeks old but I love it so much. Kaserman is such a little cutie. Look at his little smirk! I will post new pictures soon. I moved into my new apartment complex for the summer today and I'm really excited. It's where most of the college kids live that stay for the summer so there's kids running around all the time. I love it and I love meeting the new people. I took a break from unpacking and played at the pool and played some sand volleyball with some friends. I'm so happy that summer is here. I'm so thankful for sunshine and all of the sunny people in my life. Peace and Love.

ryyyan started the FIRE!

Hey ya'll! Last weekend was a good one. We went to Firehouse for Laura's farwell dinner.. She moved to Hawaii for the summer. Can you believe that??? Then after me and Ash headed up to my buddies bon fire. There was a couple up the canyon so we stopped at one and I just kept yelling, "DEREK! DEREK!! DEREKK!!" and everyone just kept saying.. no Derek here.. So me and Ash just went to a random bon fire for a little bit. We stayed there for a good half hour and chatted with the people there and met a few friends. We finally left and found the bon fire we were supposed to go to and had a grand time. I kept jumping over the fire and everyone kept yelling at me because they thought I was going to get hurt. I almost fell but only one of the times! JEEZ! The first group of people is the randoms and the 2nd is "derek's group." I look like such a weirdo with the picture of us and the randoms!! haha. I was hyper and I'm sure I scared everybody. Have a good weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

xoxoxoxo.

A Sunny Sunday.

This afternoon I'm sitting here in my cold house with my roommates watching dumb and dumber.. We normally would be outside playing around but it's snowing!!! Last sunday it was beautiful. I went to the park with katie and her fam and then later with my buddies. Someday we will get another sunny day.....

my dolly parton!!

hey alll! i got a scooter last night! her name is dolly. i love her and she's my new obsession. i drive her everywhere and me and my friends put 73 miles on her last night. hahaha! so.. i couldn't help but drive it today even though it was SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was just so excited i couldn't help but not ride her. so after work i went to chad's house and on my way home it was seriously an Arctic blizzard. i couldn't see anything and i swear i've never been so cold. my hair was wet and started to freeze. i swear my feet were about to fall off! (i was wearing my jellies) there were chunks of snow frozen to my clothes and my face was dripping wet. i was miserable.. but for some strange reason i was laughing hysterically. i just imagined how ridiculous i looked and i could not stop laughing! i got so many weird looks from pretty much every car that passed. hahaha. i thought i was going to die. seriously. so i had to stop halfway home (which was my work) and run inside to warm up. luckily my managers and co-workers were just walking out the door and saw me frantically park dolly and run inside soaked. we all got a good laugh and jared rolled dolly inside and danielle gave me a ride home. i was sad to leave dolly there overnight but happy to know she's safe and warm. (ok i'm a weirdo) haha. but anyways... it better warm up soon..... and stay warm gosh dangit!!!!!!!!!!!!

a taste of summer.

hello! you guys wouldn't believe how beautiful it was in logan today.. it was in the high 60's and not a cloud in the sky! so.. i had plans to clean the kitchen, unpack from cali (ya i still haven't got to that) hahaha, and clean my nasty room. But.. there was no freaking way i was going to stay in the house. so i started the day going on a run with my crazy freak of a roommate laura who thought it would be fun to run 4 miles. ya... i almost died. seriously. it felt good though and i loved feeling the sunshine on my face. then.. i went to my friend chad's and played football then a bunch of us played sand volleyball at the park for a couple hours. then... the best part of the day a few of us decided to drive to bear lake and chill there for a while. through the canyon there was still a lot of snow... and we saw the sickest sledding hill ever. we were ranting and raving about how sweet it would be to sled down it... but hey! i suddenly remembered i had 2 sleds chilling in my car! we were so excited. we were all in summer wear (me in shorts) but regardless we pulled over a went down the hill a few times. after a small detour we finally arrived at bear lake.. welll turns out it's still frozen over and there's snow all over the beach. haha. we drove for a few miles and finally found a little bit of sand lurking in the middle. we had such a fun time throwing the football around and playing on the frozen over lake. we played for a couple hours and then went and ate pizza. what a perfect day of summer activites crammed into a few hours. love ya'll! summmmmer is coming!!!! ohhh and p.s.... we even got a pic with the bear lake monster! oh and also.. i wore the same clothes for every activity.. and we also went to a bonfire when we got home. holy wow i'm stinky. hahahaha! k.. and one more thing. probably no one is going to read this novel of a blog i'm writing but i do have one more comment. the very top picture is my favorite. i randomly set the timer on my camera and put in on the ice. we randomly plopped on eachother! it turned out so freaking cute! k bye.
