The Boy Who Lived and Partied

I have wanted to throw a themed Harry Potter Party the way that most people want to go sky diving. It just HAS to happen before I die!

The main focus of the party was to bring people (especially those who love Harry Potter) together!
I wanted to create a fun atmosphere that had the feel of Hogwarts.

k so now I'll just let the photos do the talking:

TGIF

Thank goodness it's February

--oh wait--

Exactly ten February's ago my family decided to take on the challenge of "No Electronics" for an entire month. So we gave up our television, turned off our Gameboys (remember those?) and resorted to candle light evenings while we churned butter and quilted.

(gotcha didn't I)

Ok so we don't shut off our electricity for an entire month, but we DO refrain from television, movies, Youtube, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and any social media really..

We are allowed to use our computers to draw, create books, and blog. but that's it.


This month is always an interesting month. We read and play outside more than other months, and we also go through with drawls on Friday nights when instead of watching a movie together we gather for a riveting game of chess...

My lovely Mother wrote a post about this month HERE if you would like to read it.

So here's to our Tenth Anniversary of our crazy family keeping this awesome/awful tradition alive.

so TGIF

beginning Sophomore Year of college

Time doesn't just fly by, IT SPEEDS!

It has been so long since I've blogged that I honestly forgot that I had a blog.

That's pretty bad...

So here I am at college once again, beginning a new semester as a sophomore. Life is so good because I'm done with my general eds and finally diving deep into my major! (Art Education) It is amazing and I love it.

My roommates are fantastic and so beautiful! Shelby's cousin Taylor and her friend Tess moved in with us and we've instantly bonded! Our new roommates Brittney and Kate are so sweet and loving. We are so excited for this semester and the new adventure we're embarking on.

puppies, roses and festivals

FHE at Brother Seamon's home. Cute puppies!

my lovely twin came on tuesday and we spent the day together laughing, talking and getting so excited for her life at BYU!

Shelby and I rant the Bungee Run
about 10 times before we collapsed.
It was so great!

Notice how I'm laughing while Carter's face shows that he is on a mission
to beat me. I am just NOT competitive at all!

Carter surprised me with a spontaneous date on
the Temple grounds at sunset. I sure love him <3

19th Birthday Party!

 Birthday Party was PERFECT

Haley and Shelby planned the best birthday party for me this saturday!

There was food, fun, and friends.

We played Hacky sack, ultimate frisbee and MESSY TWISTER!

They bought the most beautiful white heels for me that I am completely in love with!

A bunch of friends were there at the park and we all just had the funnest time :)

Cheesecake cupcakes!! Most delicious treat ever!

 MESSY TWISTER!
