The most wonderful day ever..Going through the Temple for the first time. :)






















I went through the St.George temple to receive my endowment and it was such a wonderful experience! I had my grandparents there and some family friends and most importantly my parents! Such a neat experience! I LOVE the temple!!!

Mission Photoshoot by Sister Melanie Stevenson!





























The pictures turned out fabulous! Thank you so much! I love them! :)

Opening my mission call...where in the world will I go!?!!?!








The long wait of a month and a half has finally ended and I got my call! I opened the letter and to my surprise I was being called to serve somewhere I had never thought I would be called to in my life. After the shock wore off and all the many emotions I was excited that I would be sent to the GEORGIA ATLANTA NORTH MISSION! My mission president and his wife are President and Sister King!

Canadian Tenors and Colbie Cailatt Concert-March 2010




For my birthday my mom took me,one of her best friends, and a few of my siblings to the Canadian Tenors concert here in St. George and it was fantastic! They are amazing! The funniest thing was when we were waiting in line after the concert to have them sign our cd and she asked them to sing to me for my birthday and she started to conduct for them to sing. haha. And they totally started singing me the most gorgeous rendition of happy birthday I have ever heard and I was in heaven! ha. SO great!
My friend Cherise and I went to the Colbie Cailatt concert for my birthday as well and had such a fun time! The concert was amazing and she has such a gorgeous pure voice. I would love to see her again anytime!
Thanks for the great concerts everyone! :)

Christmas Eve/Christmas Day!































We have a family tradition every year that we watch the Griswald Family Christmas Vacation movie! It is hilarious and we all laugh so hard! We have a great time! Well this year my mom and I found Christmas Vacation t-shirts and surprised everyone with them. So we all wore them as we watched the movie late Christmas Eve night.








Here is my favorite holiday treat! (Much better when my mom makes it, I must add.) I made it this year and it wasn't the best but still good. Peppermint Pie!
One day in December my little sister Lex and I made some fun red and green cupcakes! Here they are....

What happens when my parents go out of town...

So this is what happens when my parents go out of town and I am in charge! :) We spent the whole day watching Christmas movies, decorating a ginger bread house, and making our family room look like a winter wonderland! :) We had SO much fun and it turned out great! It was a great surprise for my parents when they got home and they loved it. It's been very cozy and welcoming for the Christmas Season!

We hung tons of snow flakes and paper chains from the ceiling and then in the kitchen every nob and handle is tied with red or white ribbon. Oh and you can't forget the Santa hat that is on the faucet!
