Jingle Bells

Today I played my guitar and sang jiNgLE bEllS at my grandma's work. The key to success were my bell players! Janie and Chloe shook those bells and did awesome. We played 5 times and I prayed my fingers would hold up since I haven't played for a little while.

Nice finger prints huh?

Posters

I found this poster site and these were my favorites. If you are unaware, I LOVE posters (I have more than I can fit on my wall at the moment.)

















This picture just made me laugh

STYLE IDOL!

I simply love Zooey Deschanel. She encompasses everything I wish I could- style, music etc. She took this quote right out of my mouth...

"I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes and basically I`m an old-fashioned gal." How??

I just liked these...
"It`s an addiction. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you`re going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s."
"I can do the Chipmunk voice and impressions of Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music (1965). I could probably do the whole Von Trapp family."

Anyways, I just love her, plus how cute are these pictures? I love them! Especially the first two

I thought this was funny :) Her laugh!

Performance

Last night at Young Woman's in Excellence I sang the song "In That Holy Place". I was nervous but I am so excited to say that each time I sing the nervousness goes away the minute I start singing. Happy days indeed! My mom played for me and as usual she did great. She was also supposed to play the opening song but missed it! She was practicing a song she got 5 minutes before we started that she had to play for some girls in the program. I just thought it was funny- totally out of it :)

River Walk and The Alamo

I really enjoyed the River Walk. The boat man was pretty funny- ex: everyone touch those leaves.... those were tropical poison ivy. I thought it was funny:)










These guys "serenaded" us before our food came




The Alamo was neat too. It was cool to see the inside and know that some very brave people had once lived there. Tricia was so funny about this tree:) Its a Live Oak. But it was very cool. It would be the perfect climbling tree. To bad I couldn't try...

Awesome Ideas

Thanks to Tricia's DIY Ideas magazine, I found this amazing site. This couple has blogged their home makeover and their wedding. They just have some of the cutest ideas! Seriously check it out- mainly their wedding and house tour. If only I could be this creative....

Sea World

Thank you to Chris and Tricia who were kind enough to take me to Sea World- I loved it! Quick note: it was HOTTT.

We saw Viva- dolphins and acrobats. That was my favorite, it was pretty cool.

We also saw Shamu the killer whale- those things are huge! 8,000-12,000 lbs!


The aquarium was really cool too. Except the sharks. I REALLY don't like sharks. I have a love/hate realtionship with them. You'll often catch me watching shows or videos about them, but deep down, they give me nightmares. I could barely look at them!

Picture Time

San Antonio temple









Right before Bella peed her pants- I didn't even seeing it coming. At least it was outside and not in the Distribution Center. That would have been fun:)



The biggest cowboy boots in the world- 40 feet tall! If you didn't know, I love cowboys. As the Dixie Chicks say, Cowboy take me away!





Check out the 2009 Studs 'n Spurs calendar- someone on Facebook had a picture of it and I thought it was pretty funny.

Fun Day

Yesterday we went bowling! And we forgot the camera, sorry! I barely broke a hundred and Carter was close behind- he didn't even have bumpers so I was impressed! Tricia then treated us to Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and may I say that one is plenty. Chris and Tricia went out yesterday so Chandler and I were on dinner duty. I had to wrestle to get them to bed... We've also had fun watching iCarly! Good times.

Notice how white I am...

Texas

I found my blog! I'm not lying I lost it. I couldn't remember what the link was and I didn't have it as a favorite. But I found it!! That totally sounds like me.... Anyways, I made it to Texas. Chris and Tricia are great hosts and it isn't TERRIBLE outside. I told Tricia it felt like a suana- bearable but HOT. I am missing family and screaming with the girls about the Jonas Brothers.... When I figure out a way to put pictures on I will. Until then...

1st post

My first post- we'll see if I can keep it up :) Here are a couple of slideshows- enjoy!
