Well folks here goes the posting again.
So here's a little update about what is going on in my life.
To start off with Easter.
The whole family got together!!
I finally got the picture of me with all the grandkids that I've been wanting to!!
Boston 4, Ryder 18 months, McKell 9, Zach 6 months, Addi 7, Carson 3
Look how cute these two boys are!!
Ryder and Zach! They are going to be great buds!!
Look at little Ryder! :)
I love this one of all of them...Wonder what their looking at.
Ok so for the Relief Society birthday party this year we ended up with all these balloons...we didn't know what to do so naturally we thought of tie them to something very manly. So we picked our friend RJ's bike. He LOVES this thing!! We thought we were hilarious...him not so much. He didn't get mad but it wasn't his favorite surprise. But we gave him a cupcake and everything was just fine!
Now for the week of finals. The saturday before we had a service auction. Everyone wrote a service they were willing to do and then we bid on them with monopoly money. It turned out great!! Everyone had a blast and a few of my friends went in together and got some pretty great stuff.
One of our purchases was a Western Bonanza! An apartment of boys went all out for it! They were all dressed up in their cowboy get up and had a whole story planned out.
We decided that we would go Brooklyn shootout style.
When we got there they told us there was a stage coach that we needed to rob. When we went out to do it the other boys came up from behind and we had an old fashion shootout. Eventually we were surrounded and they won. They made us get down on the ground and walked us back to the jail.
Then they gave us a 7lbs can of pork and beans...yum.
Overall it was a BLAST!! We loved it.
Here are a few pictures.
This is Collin and Jorrien (AKA Pedro)
This is Patrick....and yes their facial hair is drawn on with mascara.
The 3 cowboys that out did us Brooklyn gals!
We came to terms eventually and decided we needed to go see the Bishop. We had to wait for his meeting to end so we had another shootout and took some pictures.
Jorrien (and Jorrien's horse Truth), Jenn, Me, Jacklyn, and Collin (and Collin's horse Precious)
Finally Bishop's meeting ended...we got a quick pic and were on our way.
SO much fun!!
Well finals are finally over and I actually did pretty good this semester!
I leave for Africa real soon so the next step is unpack...then pack pack pack!!
Can't wait!!
I'm going to try and keep updates while in Africa, but we'll see what my internet connection is going to be.
Bye for now!
