At church on Sunday the speaker was telling a story and said: "She was an older woman. She was probably 26, and he was only 22..."

frowny face.

I'm not ready to be considered old.

maybe it's just me and i'm getting old and boring. i mean, i am turning 27 this year. yikes. but can someone tell me the purpose of the rubber bands you wear on your wrist that are different shapes? you can't see the shapes unless you take them off....so....i don't get it.

anyway, in case you missed it, Rebecca, my 14 year old sister, has the Bieber fever. For Christmas she got a Justin Bieber shirt, his new acoustic cd, his poster...and Justin Bieber rubber bands. Don't worry, she gave me a little pink one to wear. At first I thought it was a broken heart, but I was quickly informed it was the letter "B" in a heart. Mmhmm. I asked for the headphones instead. She assured me she had plenty, and gave me not only those but the musical note with hearts, too. So now here I am in on the action.



Speaking of being in on the action, I received this video via email yesterday from Rebecca. I think it might just be the most amazing video i've ever watched. It's also a brief overview of my year, so I can be trendy like all the other blogs. Yay!

"this is the end..."

Merry Christmas from Mikey!

yikes, when did it get to be new years eve already? i guess that means i should post my end of the year pictures. we went on a carriage ride around the salt lake temple this year to see the lights as a family, and it was really awesome. i was unwilling to compromise my warm mittened hands to get out my camera. it happens. we got a few pictures though, around the temple grounds.

 i wasn't all scroogy. nathan and jason and colie came over and they went sledding with me and logan and becki in our neighborhood.

Nathan wasn't quite sure how to feel about sledding...though i did hear a little cry of  "wee!" escape him. haha

this picture is the best action shot cus right after this i lobbed that snowball at them to eliminate our competition as we flew down the hill. we won :)

we built a snowman and he looked kinda homeless, so we gave him homeless hair

i begged and begged becki to let me turn her into cindy lou who for christmas. finally she let me. isn't she awesome?

i made carly a matching hat with her mamma and she totally wore it around all night. she's the cutest

savannah and carly in their matchin hats on christmas 

anyway...hope everyone has a fun new years eve! :) be safe.

so today i afro'd my hair to see how it would turn out.

 just a little more hairspray and i bet i can get this thing huge... ;)

"baby it's cold outside..."

So, you know how every once in a while I make stuff and then I post it on here so you guys can think I'm super crafty and cool? Guess what? I made stuff! Ok, really only one thing, but it's the first thing I've ever crocheted, so I'm excited about it. (Even if I did make lots of comments on how I felt like an old lady while I was making it.) I made this hat a couple days ago and so far I love it. My fingers took a little time recovering from their misshapen claws but I think they're good now. :)

things that have made me happy and or laugh this week...

 Me: "..trying to see what that thing is in the basket. It looks like lace."

Logan: "What thing?"

Me: "That black thing"

Logan: "That garbage bag?"

Me: "......................Oh.......
.....I'm not very good at seeing ;( "

Logan: "It's a very expensive garbage bag..."

Me: "...Thanks."

sigh. I don't think that makes up for me thinking a garbage bag looks like lace. I need new eyes.

I got a new app for my phone that has cool lenses you can play with, like a double lens or a pinhole lens. it's super fun.

there is a place to eat here called the pie hole that has skateboard benches and graffiti walls. it's really cool

this is logan eating his potato pizza...yes...pizza with potato slices on it

The other day I noticed it was very quiet in the next room. I walked in and found Logan asleep cuddling with his guitar...

We were looking through Christmas stuff at the store yesterday when we came across this amazing hat:
