The Zoo

On Wednesday the gang decided to venture to the Hogle Zoo! We had fun, I haven't been to the zoo for a long time. We chose like the perfect day, it was mostly over cast all day and so nice :]] Here we are. . .

It was fun to be with the Hirzes and the Law's, especially because Deidra and David are leaving us so soon! We will miss them :[[ Some of the highlights were the elephant show, the bird show, the cool dinosaurs they have around the park, and my favorite the giraffes! The bird show was so cool! I kept thinking about my mom and how much she would be freaking out if she were there haha, and how one time we went to the zoo with my cousin Lizzy and a bird pooped on her head! Oh, and can I just say that giraffes are so strange! They look like aliens or something, but they are like so regal and majestic. They freak me out, they are so cool!

That's all folks!

I am 21!

 

I am finally 21! Look at that cute cake my sweet Gare made me :]] I had such a good birthday! I skipped class and had lunch with G, then we came home and decorated my cute princess cake, then we went to dinner with my mom, dad, Cade, and Ali, then went and had cake and ice cream with the whole family! Oh and I also got some pretty sweet presents. Gare gave me a cute new purse from Target (after he gave it to me he made me throw away 2 old purses) I might have slight addiction. My mom and dad gave me this really nifty wallet, I love it! The Hirzes gave me a cute bamboo plant from Ikea (every time I go to Ikea I always want one). And then I got some money from the rest of the family, oh and a gift card to JoAnn's! I am one lucky girl, that's for sure! Check this out. . .

Haha after our family party Gare and I thought it would be funny to go buy some beer for my dad, since I just turned 21 and all. So we went to Walmart and got some but then the lady at the check out didn't even card me! That sort of took all the fun out of it, I guess I just look really old or something? Oh, and I also bought some CTR stickers for my primary class :]] I promise I am a good Mormon! Haha, I had fun and I am so glad I got to spend my birthday with the people I love most!

Fight like a girl!

This week when the ladies on my mom's side of the family got together for lunch we all surprised my Aunt Sue who had just been diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer by wearing shirts that support ovarian cancer patients. Each cancer awareness has a different color and slogan, ovarian is teal and the slogan is "fight like a girl" we love it! We love Suzie, and are so glad that they caught the cancer early! She just went through her first round of chemo and is doing great, she is such a trooper! She is truly fighting like a girl!

Take me out to the ball game. . .

So, my super rad grandpa's super rad friend Marc hooked us up with some Bee's tickets.  We went to three games and we even got to see fireworks at two or the games! On Friday we took Brayden and Misty, we ate at Texas Roadhouse before the game yum!

On Sunday we took Meg, Cam, Carolyn and Brent. It was super hot so we had some really yummy mint chocolate chip ice cream. The good ol' Bee's even hit a grand slam so we all took our tickets to Denney's and got a FREE grand slam breakfast! It was pretty cool, we saw fireworks this night for Pioneer day!

Then on Monday we took Carolyn, Brent and the Chases! It was a lot cooler out this time but it did rain on us for like half the game. Oh well it was an adventure, and we got to see a lovely rainbow :]] Haha so every game I have been heckling this player from the Tacoma team, Carlos Peguero. I think I was really getting to him I swear he looked at me a couple of times, so for this, the last game, we decided to make him a sign! Haha I kept asking him to show me his muscles so that's what I made the sign say. People thought I was crazy :]]

Serious panic attack people! Serious!

Ok, I want everyone to know (because everyone reads my blog), that the anxiety is coming back just typing this post! So the other day Gare was at work and I was home alone. It was about 6:30 I was relaxing and watching Hells Kitchen on the couch when all of a sudden a big spider crawled out from under the T.V. stand.  Now, I HATE spiders, I usually make Gare kill them unless I am feeling super brave, then I kill it my self. But this spider was big, and I was starting to panic. I didn't want to squish it into the carpet so I ran to the kitchen and got a bowl to trap him under. I came back and put the bowl over the spider but then. . .  HUNDREDS OF TEENY TINY LITTLE BABY SPIDERS STARTED CRAWLING OUT FROM UNDER THE BOWL!!!! They were riding on the mommy spiders back! I started to cry and called Gare, ran to find the spider spray and started spraying those little suckers! I was so freaked out I was bawling and couldn't breath haha! So Gare told me to go get the landlord to help. So I went up to find Scott Chase and he saved the day killing the mommy spider and the rest of the babies! Haha then I vacuumed for like 3 hours, and was itchy and shaky the rest of the night. I wish I would have gotten a picture but I was a little too out of control to think of that at the time, but I found this one on the internet and no joke this is exactly what it looked like!

Nasty right? Yeah just about had a heart attack! Well now I have blogged about it and never have to think of it again!

Flower Lollies

I am bored, Gare is at work, and it is raining, so I made a cute craft today :]] I call them flower lollies cause they look like flowers and lollipops!

I made them by using some cute paper scraps I had laying around. Oh and I got that cute blue tin planter thingy at the D.I. for like .50¢!

$8.00 t-shirt upgrade

I found this cute project on how to spruce up a regular old t-shirt the other day, and I love it so much I have done it to several shirts. I found some 8 dollar t-shirts at target, then I found some cute trim at hobby lobby. I also made one with a ruffle, you just take your embellishment and sew it right down the middle! Super easy, fun, and cute.

Gare thinks that I am a nut, but I try to tell him I am saving money. I mean if you got shirts like these somewhere else it could cost you 25-40 bucks depending on where you got it. Right?! Haha :]]
