Grad

I graduated last Saturday from Utah State.  I had so much support!  It was a great day!

Class of 2010! Go Aggies!

I am graduating from Utah State University in a week and a half!  These are a few pics my cousin Jessica took for me up at campus.




I think I am allowed to brag a little- I have not paid one penny of my college tuition!  I have been on academic scholarship for four years.  This year I got financial aid on top of that...In other words, I got paid to go to school.  Thanks for letting me be a little prideful...GO AGGIES!

It's been fun...but I am happy to be DONE!

Utah…Here We Come

You heard right my friends… starting in August…We are going to be UTES!

Cody just got his acceptance letter from the University of Utah this week. He will be studying Pre-architecture. His first year he will be taking a lot of pre-requisites and preparing an outstanding portfolio in preparation for the very competitive architecture program!

He is very nervous about this new chapter in his life! I am SO excited for him, he is going to do a great job doing something he really enjoys. He has been wonderful and very supportive in putting off his education in order for me to graduate…now it's his turn!

 Any words of advice and/or encouragement are VERY welcome!

Happy Birthday To You...

DEAR CODY, Happy Birthday to you!
Well, if you ask me, Cody had the best birthday anyone could ask for! (Minus the 10 hour shift he had to work)

I skipped out on a few of my unimportant morning classes to make Cody a delicious breakfast in bed. (Omelet, Sausage, and some OJ, A real man's breakfast)

Cody got everything he wanted...

...His fav. cologne (Aqua Di Gio)...New cloths from Old Navy...

And a SWEET Toothbrush from his parents and a new Life Jacket from mine.  He was very spoiled by everyone this birthday!

I took some cupcakes for Cody and his friends at work and his boss bought them ice cream to celebrate.

Cody got home from work at 8:30pm, we went to Junipers for a yummy dinner and came home to this...

SURPRISE!!!

I invited a few of Cody's friends over for a little surprise party.  I was so grateful they all wanted to come wish Cody a happy birthday. 

I know I had a fun day spoiling my Cody and he said he had a great day too... job well done I would say.

Happy birthday to my best friend!  I love you Cody! :)

Pictures from the Past

I was going through the pictures on my old computer, and I got a good laugh out of a few of these... Just thought I would share.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREASA!!!

Today is my mother-in-law's birthday!

One year older... and still Beautiful!

We started the celebration by throwing a surprise party!  I am sorry to say the Temple trip in the previous post took place at the same time :( so I missed the surprise part... But I did make it just in time for desert!

ICE CREAM!!!!

(Sorry this is not the right way)

Marrissa and Kelsey win the prize for best dressed as usual!  Cute Girls!!!

And Handsome boys! (They took about twenty self-portraits, Love it!)

It took a while to find Lexi's smile...

But I did!

Happy Birthday Treasa!  We love you!

Family Temple Trip

My littlest sister Sami turned 12 in January and finally, this weekend, we were all able to get together and take her to the Temple for the first time.

Sami did a great job. 

 I had a great time with my family at the Temple.

It's a tradition to go to Leatherby's when ever we are within 10 min of the restaraunt.

Check it out...

Two cups of extra sauce and all!  I wish I had the picture I took a few years ago of this same ice cream at the same restaraunt.  It was WAY bigger!  Now every time we go Brooke and I whip out the picture to show our waitress and say "I want it to look exactly like that!"  They have tried and failed a few times, and we didn't even ask this time.

Next stop... The DI :)

This is the UGLIEST thing I found there.

...A beautiful desk featuring a different animal skin on each panel!  Needless to say, I HAD to take this pic.

After that we did some REAL shopping!  We spent a couple hours in Kohls...

...My dad might not admit it, but he had a GREAT time with his Girls!!!
