PICTURE GALORE

1st off- i love this guy. a lot. even if he wears his hat backwards.

Beware: this is the most pictures i have EVER put on a post. but... my posts have been lame lately so this will be a sufficient update.

back in november it was my father in laws 50th b day party. Not only did the decor look amazing (rhea!) sam was in style with his walker and wig.

we babysat the scholes one weekend and invited our favorite kids (the rileys) over to play games with us. we played Disney charades. it basically was aaron, aud and i reading the card, then telling them how to act it out. then, us being in the audience and guessing the charade.

page is my favorite.

Tony, sarah and will all came up for will's football game. it was a blast and such an intense game. it was fun to hang out with everyone and be a part of WILL PALMER FAN CLUB!

This is aaron's first attempt and last attempt at MMA. He went to the MMA gym and had a couple rounds with some of the guys. and.
totally got an abscess on his leg. urgent care--here we come.

Nay went through the temple! it was awesome to have all of us there! with only LITTLE crying!

my baby brother.

I think it was the day after thanksgiving we tagged along with my family and headed up north to sedona to go hiking. it was a blast! we did about.... 30 minutes of hiking. and we were not dressed for the cold.

all but aud.

Kate had her 31st birthday party. it was 80's style. so... we were in costume. this is my FAVORITE picture of aaron. you are free to double click and enlarge this sucker.

Me and aud didn't mean to match but we totally ended up making the same outfit! and nay opted to NOT dress up. Party pooper.

we watched the worlds cutest dog. i never thought i would want a dog. but if it is like this one, i do. i even asked aaron at one point if she could sleep in our bed. don't worry, she didn't.

we went and saw phil vassar! he always puts on a great show! we all think he is turning into an alcoholic. okay by me he still sang joe and rosalita. drink away.

kel came too! i love my best friend. MOVE HOME KEL!

Don't we look so natural together. although... he is looking old. and his hair is so ...weird.

It was Taylor's bday!!!! happy b day cute little 19 year old!!!!

look what one of my best friends (kel) mailed me all the way from cali.
she sent me a good luck on finals study package. she is the most thoughtful girl ever.

the whatcott family christmas party. it was a blast!!! we chimed along with the bells (or whatever they are) and did an awesome elephant gift exchange. whoever got our book is really lucky. a book about perms, you know you scored with that gift, guys.


I threw a bridal shower (along with some other friends) for the cutest little jessie. it was so fun and we had such a fun time at the wedding. we are so happy they are married. we love you jessie and curtis!

Christmas eve at nanie's. it is one of the best times of the year. this year was the best for 2 reasons
1- nan got Ochoa's for us to eat
2- nay gave me vickie's BOYFRIEND PANTS
both= to die for

The dyers brought their new addition: bella.
and i again fell in love with another dog. ohhhh look at her chubby face!

happy wedding curtis and jess! Aaron was a cute best man.

Double feature picture: 1--kate had my name for christmas and made me SO many CUTE hair bows and headbands. i am displaying one right here. i'm convincing her to open an etsy shop for all her little creations. 2--look at the cute scarf my M.I.L and F.I.L got me. i LOVE it. i wore it the whole weekend when we went to flagstaff.

Last picture, i promise.
we went up to flag for the weekend. it was so relaxing and so. dang. cold.
i realized i can't do cold. i'm a flip flop lovin the sun kinda gal.
but we had a blast cuz we just gotta hang out with eachother.
hope you all had a happy holiday!!!!!!!!
happy new yeee-ah.

GLORY DAYS!

Passed my ANESTHESIA BOARD! 2 and a half weeks of studying and not paying attention to the outside world (and showering 2 times in that 2 week span) PAID OFF.

Julie (my hygiene BFF) said yesterday "Once the test starts, the day flies by! I would rather give birth to a razor blade baby without an epidural though before doing it again"

I don't know how I passed it, but I did. AND newsflash: I NEVER HAVE TO TAKE THAT BOARD AGAIN IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

after we took it we went to:

And shoved our faces. and yes. i look queezy. i hadn't slept for about a week and eaten anything healthy in two!
Now what am I going to do over break you may ask????
1) update my blog
2) spend time with these guys----
(Kate teaching me sewing tricks, helping aud with school stuff and laying and talking to my mom and dad NOT about school stuff!!)
and aaron. maybe watching all 10 seasons of friends with him..?

and this cute little boy (maybe more sleepovers brother?)
3) spend time with these goofballs (i owe sam treats for fixing my car and ash-- you need to teach me how to cut aaron's hair)
and tay and rhea... rhea girls day???!!?
and write this kid!!!!! FINALLLY its been way over due. isn't he cute?
ahhh.
i'm laying in bed and it's almost 11 a.m.
and i'm not getting up.


take that world.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

From our totally bodacious house to yours!

wassups!

So, I got a plate rack like this (only not like this cuz i got it for 8 bucks at big lots....)
and i know you all sit at home and you are like... allie has it so rough, i think i will get her a present because she works so hard at everything she does. and then you are like i bet a girl like her loves plates.
why, yes i do.
and to make your shopping a little easier here are plates i would love having on my wall!



aren't they all so pretty.
anyway- i will post a pic when i find the 3 most awesome plates to hang on my cheap plate rack.

nay nay got his mission call! (note: picture above is not from the night he got his mission call. since mentioned picture, nay has grown a full set of chest hair and doesn't go around shirtless with a nasty necklace on...)

Curitiba BRAZIL! what!!! how are we all gonna manage? he will do great. because he always does great at everything.
and we will miss him. but... it is the cutest thing to see him so excited.
i love you baby brother nay.

as a tribute to nay- i found an old poem he wrote about my mom. here it is. the last line is my ultimate favorite.

Mom

Being with you makes my heart sing

Even when you make me clean.

I love it when you talk to me

You make me think of butterflies

Fluttering through my heart.

Mother, I love you, though I may not show it

But I think of you, even when you are not with me,

I think you’re very special,

You know it, yes you do,

Because you have two men in love with you.

what's been happening...

My father-in-law graciously gave me SUNS pre season tickets. I took aud.... and guess who was there. Katie's old BF. THUNDER DAN. he was like... will you tell katie i miss her and i want her back. and ... her retainer.

we did not know SHAQ got traded. we did not know mr. raja bell no longer was on the suns either. we learned a lot that night.

dental hygiene girls at a seminar. we are goofy.

no but seriously this seminar that you pay 30 bucks to go to has the best snacks. so, andrea was thinkin right when she brought little zip lock baggies. i got water, trail mix, fruit, bags of chips and malt balls.
score, right?!!!cheap???? yeah, i know.

i have been having a problem with my keys lately. like locking myself out of my house. or.... leaving my keys in the door all night. .... practicly begging for creeps to come get me. i was searching my house for 20 minutes looking for them. something told me to look in the front door.
golly. i'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.
and p.s-- i know i need some girly key chains. i'm working on it.

we spent the afternoon at the lake for miss rhea's birthday. it was a blast! this is my cute brother in law taylor. with his super cute sunglasses.

he is so cute too.

the gang minus sam. because he was taking the picture. wish we all got a pic together....

woo hoo for the oral cancer walk! 20 bucks for 2 miles! thats 10 dollars a mile ladies and gents. spendy.

we went to the state fair.... to people watch and watch people spend their life savings on life size dollar bill pillows.

And... also to watch people clog their arteries with yummy stuff like deep fried bacon. what??
oh my-sick.

i'll end with this picture. craft day with mom and kate at hobby lobby. kate was like... i need to go get some batting.
and... then she came back with enough batting for like 10 years. and left me and my mom in line looking like we're material hogs.

anyway... yay for NOVEMBER! i love this month--- because the TURKEY TROT and THANKSGIVING! and it is finally cool!
i must go. i am late for school.
later foolios!

seriously?

Am i right or what.
