Back Tracking...

So i've decided that backtracking is not worth the time and energy it takes to recall all my fun times and wait for my slow internet to load the millions of photos... so.... here are some recent happenings..

I took a snowboarding class from BYU this semester and LOVED IT.Ben's 24th B-day was on January 18th! (not the 19th for any of you know know that Ben had two b-days for a while... we worked that out as well) :) and i made him cupcakes and bought some good looking shirts for him..
in Late January, Ben and I went to the Zermatt resort in midway on a double date and got to see these AMAZING Ice castles! We went to Zupas (one of our favorite restaurants) afterwards and then went home and watched the movie "the ultimate gift" to top off the night..
BEST DATE EVER.After our date we took this precious picture:Then on V-Day weekend, we went down to Kanab (where Ben is from) and had fun driving around, playing b-ball with his brother/dad/sister, and eating amazing food made by his mom...
not to mention his awesome v-day gift (one was edible and the other was memorable)

We also stopped by Bryce Canyon to take some pictures:
and Ben came home to his room decorated for V-day... All the reasons i like ben (each heart had a reason.. Precious right? ;)

I think that's it... So yeah. hope you liked those pictures.. March hasn't been filled with much. Just lots of school work and trying to stay on top of my life.. (it's quite a task). I've been playing catch-up for way too long...

p.s. we have had some fun times with halie and kendall, but for some reason we never take any pictures... sorry. More to come soon. (hopefully) :)

i love my friends :)

This girl:

This girl:
Brought me delicious cookies that i loved. (see below)

i love them for more reasons than that, but i am soo happy they are my friends. it was great to talk with both of them this past week. congratulations molly! and THANKS savannah! i love you guys.!! can't wait till molly moves back and we can play again! I'm excited for taco tuesdays and sleepovers... well, maybe not sleepovers b/c molly will be married and her husband would miss her. but whatev. :) good times are soon to come!

Shout out to my PADRE!

This is a birthday shout out to mi padre. he is now FIFTY-freaking-THREE. not too shabby eh?
I love his crooked smile in this picture. and the fact that he is not one bit bothered by emma as i would have been.
Also, This is my favorite video of my dad... when he was a good sport and tried our Bertie Botts every flavored beans we got from the Jelly Belly factory that day... as you can see in the video, he really liked the flavor.

One last thing... Dad- i love you because you have gotten our family to where we are today. You made the best decision ever to be converted to the gospel of jesus christ and with that you met mi madre. if you would not have been the stud you were mom might have never said yes to you in the joseph smith building after that american heritage video. So, thanks for making good decisions... for more than just yourself. for all of us. even though i sometimes hate all your questions, i love my hair... which kinda makes up for it. ;) so thanks. thanks for being a wonderful example to me of hard work and unconditional love. i really couldn't have gotten to where i am in my life without you. you're the bestest.

LOVE YA PADRE.
