Christmas Break!

Okay so my first goal for this long winter break was to get in shape. Then i decided dragging along Kami right next to me would make it more entertaining! It sounds easier than it is. I LOVE workout videos. I think they are so much fun and for some odd reason I love being sore the next day which is easy to achieve with a new workout video. First step was buy a new workout video. CHECK CHECK CHECK (I bought three). Second was to talk Kami into working out with me ever morning. CHECK (This was easier than expected). Third was to get to work......kinda check. At first we were on fire! LITERALLY ON FIRE! I felt the burn in places I didn't even know existed! Then I went to my cabin and we broke the habit...Then we tried to start back up today and here's what happened...

We got as far as making space, turning on the TV, putting in the disk.....and then the yoga balls came out and we went down hill fast. They are just too fun to handle! Of course I got out my new camera and we went to town!....whoops! But for the record I did end up doing the video when Kami left. This picture explains why nobody takes us seriously.


Aside from workout videos I've gotten to spend loads of time with my family! My siblings are my best friends and my parents are my role models. Who could ask for anything more? I have a ton of support in my life and I'm so grateful for it. During my figure Skating Christmas performance I could hear my entire family, plus aunts, plus cousins, plus grandparents, plus my three hilarious girls (Liv, Anna, and Cate), plus Hailey, the entire song! These guys are way too good to me.

The best party of Christmas was talking to good old Elder Michael B. It was fun to hear him talk in his really heavy accent and to hear how much he has changed. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL! 

The first week of Christmas break was amazing! Lets hope the second week will be just as great!

How we pass the time!


So lately I've been committed to taking pictures with my friends! In the beginning it was just to have pictures but somehow it always turns out to be an adventure. When Kami and I decided to take pictures the first time the camera died in about 6 seconds....But the second time we had a fully charged camera and we were ready to go! We ended up going to this really nice restaurant because they have the coolest lights ever! The parking dudes were really chill about us taking pictures after making me look like an idiot but of well! We got to take pictures and were just cracking up because we kept slipping on the ice. I thought all those hours at the ice rink would have kicked in but nope!
 Here are the pictures from our adventure!
Most of the reason that I love this one is because 1- Me and the photographer (one of the employees) had a really confusing conversation when I tried to ask him to take the picture and 2- because we both almost biffed it about 3 seconds before and after the picture was taken. 
We kinda got on a picture taking high so we decided to pull a hobo move and watch the cars pass by in the freezing cold while cars honked at us.....

It was Hailey's last day of working at cold stone..Oh how I will miss getting unlimited amounts of samples from this girl! To celebrate her last day of work Kami and I ditched being hobos and visited cute little Hailey!
These girls are my best friends! I have no clue what I would do without them.

WA (aka the winter dance)

I love High School Dances. This time I only had to ask one boy which made the whole experience so much better! My date was this kid named Travis. According to my mom he is going to be the one taking me to the temple in five years so watch out!
For the day activity we decorated cookies which is a lot more fun than it sounds.
Our pro cookies! (I promise the ones at my bakery will be a little bit cuter)

Travis getting ready to eat his face....


Then we went to dinner, then of course we jammed out at the dance, after the dance we attempted to get Kong cones  (huge ice cream cones from Macy's) but they were closed so we went to Kami's house and played curses, we went bowling, then to finish off the night we played curses again. I have to admit the activities weren't exactly the best/most creative ideas ever but it was still a really fun night!

Our group was huge! But I think I'm kinda liking the whole big group idea.
Suang and Brendon aren't they just the cutest little couple :)
