December 24, 2011

Christmas Eve at G-ma's!! Filled with children sitting Japanese-style, big bows, ugly sweaters, and mystery meat!

What would life be like if we weren't so opposite??

December 21, 2011

The power plant in Vineyard looked cool this morning against the bright blue sky!

When shopping this is where I always end up: sitting down, holding everyone's stuff, patiently waiting to leave! Today I was accompanied by Baby Bird #2!

December 19, 2011

I saw the amazing Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows with A-Baby and Sexy Lexi! Probably the best movie ever! Well...next to the Batman movies!
Before the movie, A-Baby and Andrew were faking a proposal in the romantic Christmas gazebo in Riverwoods. This was their "engagement picture."

Reading day #2: 16 hours of hard core studying

Studying right before taking my Book of Mormon final!
!
This is what I got to walk to campus in on my second day of finals! The snow is much preferred over the early morning wind!


I got bored of studying and started stacking pens! Such a great way to distract from the pressing finals! Haha

Visiting Taylor and his roommate's turtles!

November 29, 2011

This is what I came home to yesterday. I guess this is what I get for never being home and having roommates that don't like to empty the garbage! So repulsive!

November 28, 2011

This is not something you want to arrive on campus with! My new birthday Sperry's don't seem to like me very much. Every time I wore them they did this to me, so I had to return them. I'm still trying to find some new shoes. I hate shoe shopping!

November 26, 2011

This was the view from the balcony. Literally at the bottom of the slopes! Absolutely amazing!

The front of the cottage we stayed in :)

The back of the cottage. We had the entire second floor to ourselves. It consisted of two master bedrooms, three bathrooms, two hot tubs, five TVs, two kitchens, and eight girls. Probably one of the best weekends ever!

November 25, 2011

We were all wearing Hollister jeans so, naturally, we had to take a matching picture!

One of our first stops of the day was the World Market. We found lots of cool stuff and our fifteen minute time limit turned into an hour and a half!

"Mini Wini" became the tongue twister of the day!

And Liam Hemsworth became the obsession of the day after we found this picture in a magazine. Aaaah, such a babe! Haha

November 24, 2011



Thanksgiving dinner: we like to fat dog after eating large meals.

Then we made our way to the lovely Hotel Park City where we spent the next few days!

Nothing better than a steaming hot tub in the freezing cold!




November 23, 2011

I went up to Idaho with Taylor, Teran, and dad to visit Grandpa Briggs. We stopped at a four-wheeler store on the way and TayTay just had to get a picture in the Rhino!

Haha, this car is very weighed down. I think it may have had one too many pallets on top!

November 21, 2011

Such a beautiful rainy day as I walked home today!

November 20, 2011

This is Lance. The bunny the twins smuggled into the house without our parents knowing.


You can imagine mom's reaction when she found a covered cage in the basement while everyone was at school! Haha

November 19, 2011

Amber and I attended Taylor's "Ugly Sweater Party." Taylor changed his sweater three times throughout the night, there was a bonfire in a wheelbarrow on the front lawn, and creepy men that were way too old for me tried flirting.

November 18, 2011

Walking home I had to stop and take a picture of this lovely sunset.

This was our first and most likely last experience with the International Cinema. We watched Latcho Drom, a movie about the gypsy movement and their musical influence. Slowest, most boring movie of my life!

November 17, 2011

I'M FINALLY AN ADULT!!!!!



I went home and celebrated with my family. We had a blast passing initiation, making prank phone calls, and laughing at my ability to put on a shirt (or lack thereof!)!

My lovely scarf from Gramma Lynn that I love!!


No better way than to celebrate with your best friends!!

*Pictures taken from Lauren's blog.

It's hard to tell what this is...but this is what happens in Alex when it rains: water comes gushing in from the sun roof and drenches the passenger seat, and sometimes the driver seat. It makes for some good laughs and a wet drive :)

November 9, 2011

I have never seen such an attraction for one classroom! This entire floor of the MARB was swarming with freshmen trying to attend a test review from the best TA.

November 7, 2011

Such a rare occasion that Emily and I both logged in to do math homework within five seconds of each other.

November 6, 2011

What a lovely picture of college freshmen anonymously making cookies for boys on a Sunday night :)

November 5, 2011

LAUREN CUT HER HAIR!!! Ten inches. Gone. We surprised her family with a bag of hair to send off to Locks of Love!

Deciding what to do on our last night with Collin started out with messing around in Lauren's basement and texting random boys from my phone.

This was the best picture we could get of Collin.

Oh. My. Gosh. Mama Bird enjoyed Big Bird's plane!

November 3, 2011

I received the following text from my dad: There is yummy food here! I was home fifteen minutes later, ate dinner, and enjoyed my wonderful pastime of doing homework in front of the fireplace!

October 29, 2011

On my way home to do laundry and homework, I found this beauty. Haha

Instead of doing anything I ever need to, I always end up getting distracted by my sisters. We went on a "haunted train ride." Yes. the twins are 16 and sophomores in high school and I am 17 and a freshman in college (:
My favorite little Caroline!

In order for the night to actually be scary, this had to appear on the rug. It is actually close to the size of a quarter and I was in charge of killing it. I hate spiders!

October 27, 2011

This is how I feel about cleaning checks. Worthless!

October 23, 2011

The sunset was A-MAY-ZING tonight!

October 22, 2011

I found my Baby Birds like this when we were waiting for the parentals to stop talking so we could go FOUR WHEELING!
