its about time

that i read the second twilight book....

so i started it. i feel like im quite behind since the whole world has read them all like 5 times over. (maybe thats just my roomates) but i officially have started new moon. also because i so so excited to see the second movie and so i want to have read it first. and another reason. the second book is about jacob more and i think he is so so good looking :]

family christmas party

2 reasons why i love family christmas parties

#1 ....to see all my fam. cousins, neices, aunts, sisters, and all the inbetween

#2...the amaaazing food :] well..sometimes

i loved how pretty they made my plate look!

mmmm :]

hate to say it but...

I told ya so! 

zoo three is here.

told you it wouldnt be long before you found me there again!

meg was so excited!

and so was sophie! (and kate)

yep that thing was quite terrifying to some.

this too was terrifying to some...and by some i mostly mean kate

zoo lights :]

mushie pushing meggy moo

no one was really ready for this...poor kate had got her toe stepped on right before this as well

red robin saved the day

nope, kidding MCDONALDS saved the day

enjoying her chicken nuggets

such the little poser

cant help but love that cute little smile 

i think ive out done my trips to the zoo for a while....

christmas spirit

Its being to look a lot like christmas! Well, k not really- in St. George it looks more like September still. There is no snow, we have no christmas tree...soo we go to ugly xmas sweater parties to bring in the christmas spirit! Kind of a silly way of doing things- but hey! its works!

I looked every where for an ugly sweater...and finally I found my dream sweater at Walmart. its just gorgeous!
I don't really know how to explain this...haha. these boys from Cedar have a special "Christmas Face" and so me and Caitlyn attempted and this was the outcome. Basically we failed.
Caitlyn looks like she works at Target and Im pretty sure I could pull of the Elementary school teacher look.
All the girls...and some random boy who jumped in the back (gotta love picture ruiners...not!) 

Sophie was a little upset that Robyn had no ugly sweater...sooo this was the outcome :]

zoo one, zoo two.

So I've found my new obsession: the zoo. Yes, the zoo, full of smelly animals and those few annoying children- but its not always like that to be honest.  The other night be and Zach went to see the zoo lights two weekend ago and we were basically the only people in the entire place. It was so fun and I hadnt been in a super duper long time.  So then two days later, I went again. Yep, again. I took Sophie and Parker for the day and once again had a blast. So if your looking for me...I'll most likely be at the zoo.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention: a great post-zoo activity is to dip strawberries. this is Zachs new obsession...were all about new obsessions these days. 
Dipping those strawberries like pro's- Welcome to the Parker family.
Me and Zach at the zoo lights...yes I believe thats a ram or something going for my head.
the zoo the second time around. Sophie looks so cute!
Sophie and Parker on the tigers...or whatever they are. Ps. when I saw those statues when I went with Zach, I thought they were real....(it was dark!!)
Love this picture. Shes just tooooo cute!
My second favorite. I think she looks so old in this picture. Parker was too busy looking at the real animals rather than posing with the fake ones. I dont blame him really.

recap

So I've been quite the blogging slacker...again. School has been the super busy, probably busier than I have been the whole year.  So I guess that is my reason as to why I am so behind in the blogging world.  I will try to be more up to date from now on, since my scheduale should be pretty easy until finals. So the past month has been busy like I said, and this past week I've had THEE worst luck in the world.  I know complaining isnt really the most mature thing to do, but sometimes it's all that comes out.  So first of all, I had a huge photo assignment due. I had about 70 pictures that I needed to take in a week for my portfolio. So I took them and then when developing them- i come to find out that NONE, must i repeat, NONE of them worked. So I got the lucky oppurtunity of redoing the ENTIRE assignment, in a weekend. And then to my luck again, one whole role, which is about 35 pictures, got ruined. I learned my lesson- PHOTO IS NOT MY CALLING IN LIFE. I will never take a class again.  Ill just stick to my digital camera and taking pictures of just regular day to day things haha.  On the other hand, I had a flight home last friday and of course, in my bad luck streak- it was a flight going to st. george. problem! i was in st. george already, and needed to go to salt lake. (luckily i found a flight the next morning) But when i got in town, I had to get my hair extentions fixed...and of course that didnt work so well, i had to take them ALL out. yikes. back to short hair for a week. Which was not my first choice but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do right. So anyways my luck wasnt at it peak.  although when i did get home, Zach filled me in that I missed a very good talk in church about being grateful- and not only being grateful for your blessing, but for your trails as well. I guess I should have been there because it was probably just what I needed to hear.  So during this Thanksgiving season- I am grateful for all the obvious things that I have, all my blessings and all the things that make me happy, but especially during this time, I am grateful for my trails.  I've learned they only make me stronger and I learn from the situation.  Zach also told me something i wont forget, you cant go through life without having a couple bad days, because then you couldnt be grateful for the good days.

I hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving :]

bonfire with zachar

me cates and megggy

all the girls :]

starting our fire. i forgot to take one when it was at its prime! but thats okay, you get an idea.

the thing I love about college is that you dont have to wait for the weekend to do something fun. Haha basically every night is a weekend night- yeah yeah, you still have to study and all that- but there is usually something fun going on as well! Last night a bunch of us went up to the top of this mountain and had a bonfire. We didn't do anything else really but just stand around it and listen to old rock music and country and just talk. (no mallows- which was dissapointing) but it was fun to just do something different for a change and spend time with everyone! mmm love college life :]

happy burrfday

this last thursday was the big dayyy! i turned 19. so bascially i have one more year as a teen and it seeems like im growing up too fast. i dont know if im actually "growing up", im just getting older. too fast! but i had a pretty good day, even though i was away from home. i went to school, went out to brunch with my friend caitlyn (and then stopped at taco bell AFTER, because i was craving a burrito- you can do that on your birthday i swear!) went BACK to school...then came home and got ready and went out to dinner with everyone, went to the boys flag football game, and then studied. and in between all that i was laughing or smiling or taking pictures. it was fun day and i was so grateful for my friend and zach for turning my week around and really trying to make my day special! and then on friday- my mom, nicole, and ashley all came down to visit! it was so much fun to spend time with them. we went shopping and got pedicures- and of course ate some good food! OH AND DONT FORGET- we went to go see HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3. and we LOOOOVED it! megan and caitlyn came along as well and it was the highlight of my week. haha its so nerdy and cheesy but since i knew a few people in the movie it was fun to look for them. and plus zac efron looked good....REAL good. after they left that night i just hung out with the usual. me, caitlyn, zach, and zach owsley all decided we felt like buying a board game because our plans to go to the haunted corn maze fell through and so we went to walmart- and ended up spending a whole hour there. haha we tried out nerdy costumes and laughed our heads off. it was so much fun even though we were being so dumb. then we came back and popped pop corn, ate cake and played clue! haha it was fun for a change to do something different and it was the perfect way to end my week.

thank you every body who contributed into making my birthday a good one!!
