Smiley Face!

Last Tuesday my apartment was invited over for Taco Tuesday. We had so much fun and it was delish!! The boys in our ward are so nice and we loved hanging out with them. Anyways we brought unfried fried icecream for dessert. It was soooo good! Here it is:

The recipe is simple, just crush up some frosted flakes mix it with cinnamon, then cut your softened ice cream into the size you want. Roll your ice cream in your frosted flakes, sprinkle with more cinnamon, then drizzle them with chocolate, the recipe calls for honey instead of chocolate, but honestly chocolate is a much better idea! Next time I want to drizzle with caramel and chocolate! Mmm! Also today I made a giant decision that will effect my life. I'm way excited and once its all official there will be a post to inform all you curious people:) SMILEY FACE!!

BBQ Nachos! Everyday:)

Grapes and Carrots

Today in Biology my professor passed around grapes and carrots for an object lesson. The kid next to me, who i must say was quite attractive takes a grape and starts to pass them to me then he looks at me and says "These are my grapes i grew them in my garden. will you pass them around and share them with the class?" I obviously knew he was kidding so i just went along with it. Then about a minute later the carrots came from the opposite direction. So as I pass them to this kid. I say " I grew these in my garden and i brought them to share." He looked at with a strange look and this was our conversation..
 "These are yours?"
"Yep, i got them from my garden."
"Oh, i was kidding those grapes weren't really mine."
" I know, these carrots aren't really mine"
"I'm so confused. OOOHH she passed around grapes and carrots??"
"Yes.."
People around me got it and laughed but I still don't think he thought i was in the least bit clever.
I still find it hilarious so i just had to share. I hope you think its funny too!

A Very Unhappy Valley

I have no idea where everyone is but i haven't seen any life for three days now! Ok that is an exaggeration but i have been in my new apartment all by myself for three days. All my roommates brought their stuff and then none of them stayed here. Since school hasn't started and i get lost or stuck in traffic whenever i try and go somewhere, I decided to just stay in my apartment all day. Let me tell you I am so bored of talking to myself! I call my mom every hour just to update her on how i have sat on my bed looking at the ceiling. Its bad, really bad! Luckily right before i went insane i went to UVU with Madison and we attempted to find all of our classes but like i said earlier i get lost every time i leave my apartment so we got lost a couple times. Student and Teachers just watched us and laughed. "Hey thanks for helping us out... we OBVIOUSLY are new here.. but don't worry we will get it!" and we did we figured it out but i would have been nice if someone would have helped us out. Basically I'm just whining but if things don't start to get better its going to be a very unhappy valley.

I just had to share

I made these cute little thank you baskets (with the help of my mom) for the people at work since I quit to move down to school.They are cookies on a stick:) They turned out so cute so i just had to share!

Single Girls Can Craft Too!!

Sometimes, life gets busy and blogging is one of the last things to do on your list! Also sometimes that person is me! Where did July even go?? I have been so busy with work, church and vacationing! Don't get me wrong i love being busy but it can get stressful! Anyways i got a calling in my singles ward and I'm on the  activities committee! I'm specifically in charge of FHE with two others! I love it! I have an amazing committee and we put so much work into making sure FHE goes well, So far so good! I'm constantly trying to come up with fun ideas of things we can do! If you guys have any fun ideas PLEASE feel free to let me know!! Also if you have any fun overnight ideas for my ward you could share those too!!

Alright to explain some of the pictures below...Every 24th of July my dads side of the family goes to my Grandmas cabin and we celebrate!! However we are a little bit extreme to say the least! We always have a different theme for each year and then individual families put on skits, We have parades, costumes and our own outdoor movie on the barn door!! We are spoiled and its fun! Crazy is another word i would use to describe it! This years theme was pow wow. How many people can you say celebrated the 24th pow wow style?? Probably not many! The rest of the pictures are from our Lake Powell Trip, Enjoy!

Married Girls with blogs always do all these cute craft projects for their homes. To say the least I'm a bit jealous!! So look what i made!! Its a cute little earring holder:) My mom, Marissa, Korin and I, all made cute individual ones for each of my Zwahlen cousins for their summer birthdays! Before i made this i just had my earrings in a box and i would only wear a couple pairs because im lazy and i didnt want to search for any others! Problem solved! I'm quite proud!! Yep that's right single girls can craft too!

I might have too many earrings..

Sisters!!

   

Yep we are a little bit strange... Oh well!!

Back to My Busy Life

This last week my family and some family friends went to Lake Powell!! Thank goodness for the much needed vacation!! The week was perfect, we had excellent weather and a ton of fun. We were so spoiled this trip. We not only had a houseboat but we also had four other boats! Lets just say we were always out and about skiing, wake surfing, tubing, wake boarding, and exploring the lake! Oh yes also we went to Rainbow Bridge! This was my first time ever going and I'm not going to lie it was pretty neat!  When we weren't boating we were playing card games, watching movies on the rock wall, or eating a ton of food!! We probably could and should have stayed at least another week with all the food we had!! Unfortunately we had to come home and its back to my busy life!
