Tea Party!!!

On December 12th, Me, my mom, Kristy, McKell, and Addison took a trip down town to the Grand America for a tea party. We got all dressed up and headed out. McKell was pretty excited for Santa Clause, while Addi was excited that boys weren't coming.

This is Me and the girls on the car ride there.

This is McKell and Addi drinking their hot chocolate.

Had to have a photo shoot.

So cute!

Three of the four girls. (We missed you Erika)

Finally the girls got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted. They then were able to hear him read a story. They thought it was really cute. McKell was glad that Santa got a break from making all the toys and Mrs. Clause got a break from making cookies for Santa...which I totally agree with. ha ha so fun!

I'm pretty mad I didn't get a picture of this, but I saw Lamar Odom! He plays for the Lakers and he is really good, in case you didn't know. We totally got to say hi to him and he said hi back and smiled. It was pretty good. I actually don't like the Lakers at all...but it was still cool. You can ask Kristy and Mom to verify my story!

Thanks Mom for the great day! It was a blast!!!

USU vs. BYU

Last night was probably one of the best nights I've had in Logan. Me and some of my roommates waited in line from 2:00 till 6:00 when they opened the doors. My feet were so cold that they were pure pain. But after 4 hours of waiting in line we pushed our way in. Once we were in we had to scramble for seats. It was crazy. There were so many people there! So many people had signs and some were really funny. Here is a link to a website that has all the signs from the game: Photo Gallery: Signs at the BYU vs. USU game, www.cachevalleydaily.com. My voice was hoarse from all the yelling. It was so loud and funny. We beat the Cougars and so the war of words began. If you have read any articles you can see that it is kind of a heated topic.

This picture is of our coach Stew. He is very loved up here in Logan. He actually is a really great coach. The Spectrum has many names I have found one of them is Stew's House.

This is Dave Rose the BYU coach. He was pretty upset if you can't tell. But that's understandable. As I have stated before we are extremely cruel to the other team. Some BYU fans seem to think that we were only that way because we played them. But I have been to two games and we were louder at the BYU game because there were more people there, but they were the same chants. Still funny, gotta love the Aggie basketball games.

I'm sorry to say but my camera died as soon as I turned on. I was super upset, but hopefully my lovely roomies will e-mail me the ones they took. You can also find more pictures at http://www.utahstateaggies.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/122208aaa.html. That will work. You probably don't care, but I loved it. So if you want to there you have it.

Just Another Weekend

So we have found that Men's Basketball games are amazingly fun!! Not only is it super loud in the Pit, Utah State fans are ruthless! Here are just a sample of the cheers: Everyone chats you, you, you, you, you...youuu suck! ha ha ha so funny! And I think my favorite one was at the end of the game we started pointing to our team (who was winning) and the other team (who was losing), We would chant, winning team losing team winning team losing team. ha ha ruthless like I said...but hilarious!!!

I will be going to every basketball game possible! This weekend was a blast! So fun just chillin with the roomies and Cuz!

Look at the bottom for some awesome videos...please don't judge us!

Mr. Benjamin came to Logan for the day. We went to Panda Express, Aggie Ice Cream, took a walk, played some guitar hero, and went to the b-ball game. It was super fun to hang out with him!

Cute roomies huh!

For a pre-season game, there are a lot of people there!

Quick visit to Po and a Bev. Coloring on the tables, hot chocolate...AMAZING!!!

Followed by a dance party in the room

Gotta take some pics!

Fall is in the air...actually more like on the ground

Steph, Marlee, and I decided to go over to the cemetery and take pictures in the piles of leaves! It was actually a blast! Sorry if you can't see the pictures. They are also on my Facebook...and if you don't have access to my Facebook the I am sorry. hopefully you can see them all, they are so funny! Well at least we think they are funny!

Happy Fall! Love ya

Over the Weekend

How better to start off a great weekend then the Utah Jazz opening night?!?! Well thats exactly what I did! And let me tell you it was fun!! Not only did the Jazz win...I got to spend the night with my mom! She's pretty great!

A special thanks to Nate Reese for the tickets! Gotta love Sunday School teachers!

On Saturday, as you know, it was Halloween. McKell was Dorthy, Addi was a princess fairy, and the Bos man was a puppy!

I was able to take them trick-or-treating. Boy did they get a lot of candy! It was so fun. They were great at yelling trick-or-treat!

I would like to wish Erika a very Happy Birthday on the 5th of November.

FHE Halloween Party

Our ward had a Family Home Evening Halloween Party today. We had a blast as you can tell. The party was full of fun events. To top it all off, the bishop provided some dinner for us which was delicious. Free food is always a good thing for college students.

First there was a pumpkin carving relay. This is my team (plus Marlee) and our pumpkin. We totally won!! I did the right eye and the left ear/cheek not sure what it is.

Then we got to make our own caramel apples. We had to share so Marlee and I partnered up.

There was also a cake walk. This is where there are numbers on the floor and you move around till they say stop. Then you have to do something such as a dance, then you get a treat. I never won but it was fun I guess.

This is Marlee, Katie, Kalin, and Steph. We are all chillin eating our caramel apples. It was yummy.

Cute Stephanie!

There was also Halloween pictonary, but we decided to opt out on that one. Instead we went home to meet up with the rest of the roomies and we had a chick flick movie night. Bride Wars and The Proposal. Classics!

Fall Break

Over fall break Sarah Ashely Spangler came into town. So naturally the Standard 7 had to get together. We went and picked her up from the air port. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures and no one e-mailed them to me. But then after we picked her up we went to Yogurt Stop and all put almost every candy we could on our yogurt. While sitting at Sarah's we all couldn't stop talking and laughing. On Saturday we went to Jaxson's open house then headed off to our reservation at the Mayan. A good time is always had at The Mayan. After the Mayan we headed over to Lisa's home and had some of Clair's delicious chocolate cake. We decided to celebrate Sarah's birthday (which is in December) because we wouldn't be together on it. We lit candles and ate it up! (the empty plate in the middle was for Natalie, she had to go and visit an old family friend in Ogden so she couldn't be with us on Saturday). Having the Standard together again was so much fun. We forgot how funny we all were! ha ha ha I guess our humor isn't appreciated anywhere else. But this fall break was a blast!

I didn't want my weekend to end so on Tuesday I drove back down to go Horseback Ridding with Jaxson and his Dad. I had never been and it was a lot of fun! My bum is really sore but I definitely want to go again. This was one last ride before Jaxson left to serve a mission in Mexico. It was a blast!!

The Utah Jazz Never Get Old!

Have I mentioned that I have awesome roommate? Because I do! Miss Chelsie invited me to go to a Jazz game...6th row! It was a blast. We got to watch the team up close and could not get over how tall they really were. We had a blast ha ha ha even though we did have a older guy next to us who wouldn't stop talking to Chelsie. Thanks Chelsie!!

Much Love, Julie Marie

Go Jazz!!

So thanks to my beautiful and AMAZING roommate Steph...I was able to go the the Utah Jazz Scrimage. I know that it doesn't sound like much but I had a blast. We arrived early so we walked around Gateway for a little bit. When we arrived and the ESA we found it to be packed! We were still able to get 17th row seats. It was a blast. They filmed two comericals and had a rookie dance off. It was hilarious! In case you didn't know I LOVE the Jazz. I wasn't going to be able to go and then Steph agreed to drive down with me. We chatted it up and bonded! Great times. On the way back we made ourselves horse from singing-more like yelling- to Hairspray. Thanks Steph for going with me!

Much Love, Julie

Po and a Bev?

Steph, Marlee, and me went on a search Saturday night looking for Po and a Bev. But to our dismay we just couldn't find it. We searched the TSC and all we found was an Indian party or ball or something like that. Feeling very out of place we left and headed back to Snow Hall. On the way we decided to stop and take a quick picture. Once we were back we just watched Gilmore Girls, then I got a text from Ben Taylor requesting me at The Cache Valley Fun Center. So naturally I went and there happened to be a dance party. We danced the night away for 40 minutes. Even though it was short it was a lot of fun. That was a fun Saturday night!

Homecoming '09

This year for homecoming the theme was decades. We decided that we would all go as 80's. So off to the mall we went to make sure we looked our best! And as you can see we did! There was 4 different rooms that you could dance in at the TSC (where the dance was held). The options were: Jazz, Western, Rock, 80's 90's and Now! So naturally we choose the 80's 90's and Now room. We danced for about an hour and a half or so and after deciding we were to hot and sweaty we went outside for some fresh air. Chelsie and Cid decided to head home. But Marlee, Steph and I wanted to dance some more and wait for True Aggie Night, so we did...it was fun.

Getting ready for Homecoming! It took a really long time! haha but it was so fun!

True Aggie Night. Got to love it!

Don't worry none of us became True Aggies...yet.

In Loving Memory

We lost an amazing person on September 24, 2009. My big brother was an amazing person and will always be remembered for that. Please remember the good and the amazing personality he had. The only comfort I have is that I will see him again. He is home with my Grandpa Bruce. He brought so much light into this world, it is sad to see it gone.

Clayton Bruce we love you and will always miss you!
