SPrinG 2010...

2010-06-13T16:45:00.000-07:00

It has been one busy semester!! I found out that I have a year left of school?! Can you believe it!? 2 semesters here in Rexburg, & 1 in Boise for student teaching. I am applying for fast grad in the fall, so I can stay in the winter!! I can kinda see a light at the end of the tunnel...I have lost a total of 9.5LBS this semester! I work out a total of 10x a week and watch what I eat!! I will post again when I take some more pictures.. ♥ all!!

My friend David Morris!!

My picture in the HART!! Because I teach water aerobics!!

I HAD to purchase them!!! I am going on FRIDAY to see #3!!

I went to the Zoo 2 weeks ago && they had Zebra's!! a baby one!!

hey there are skittles in that bag!

2010-06-02T15:54:00.001-07:00

you got me...got me real good!!

2010-05-22T23:28:00.000-07:00

So all week I should have put the pieces together but of course I didn't.

With Julian & Alicia calling me asking me where my class was...to my mom telling me she didn't have time for me to my dad asking me what I was doing friday after class... WOW it went RIGHT over my head! But after the week I had I was so HAPPY to see my mom and ogden outside my class waiting for me. And of course it didn't go just how they wanted because I left right when I finished my test, so they had to call me back up to the Hinckley BLG. As I was yelling at my mom not to play with me like that, sure enough they were there! We had 24 hours with each other!

We saw friends, swam, shopped, and had a yummy lunch at the Thai restaurant! Thanks Nana, Pop, Julian, and Alicia!! && of course I cried when they left because I HATE good byes. But I am very grateful for the family I have!! ♥ ♥

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.

-Unknown

Even though I am away from my mom, I want her to know the deep love, respect, and ever gratitude I have for her.

I couldn't ask for a more wonderful mom than her.

She does MANY things for, even though she's thousands of miles away. & I know that when I am sad because of a hard day, I know that without a doubt she is cheering for me.

Mom,

I just want you to know that I ♥ you more than you will ever know.

Love,

Emmy

I was sitting here thinking what could I post to mark this day in history. As my song played that I am sure you all hate by now..but that song means a lot to me, and sparked something in my mind. And a PERFECT way to mark this is to list the things I am grateful for...

1. My Family words CANNOT describe if I lost ANY of them. I ♥ you all!

2. Mom & Dad unlike most kids up here in college they have to work forever thing...I don't I have a mom & dad that work everyday for ME. Thanks

3. Friends they are what get me though everything.

4. My Savior

5. Music is my get away

6. Soldiers that fight every day for my freedom.

7. Blessings

8. Capacity to love unconditionally

9. Laughter I don't know what I would do without this.

10. The gift of being an AUNTIE EM

11. The gospel & my testimony

12. & last one is a silly one...but everything that I own.

Well thats pretty much it..I hope I didn't forget anything.

Hope today goes down a good one. I ♥ you ALL!

Take LuCK, and remember to be thankful.

Yep thats right FREE!

When I was at the Riley's I had a bowl of cookie crisp and it was yummy...then I wanted a box of my own, since the calories weren't so bad. So when I got back into town I went to the store to get a box...to my surprise they are $5!!! What!! for a box of cereal! HECK no!!!!!!

Then I was looking at the ad's that came into effect a few days later and it was going to be $2!! WOOT!

I recieved a coupon on my Albertson's receipt for $2 off your next purchese.

So I got my coupon and MARCHED to the store and got that box of COOKIE CRISP for FREE!

It was so the highlight of my day. Thank you VERY much!

Today I was talking with my roommate about annoying things our siblings used to do to us...

Well these are the 2 things I remember Julian & Celia used to do to me...

Julian: I used to make stories up in my head and sometimes act them out and for this piticular time I took a bottle of hairspray out and sprayed it on the grass, on the side of the house...Well he say me doing this, and a couple of weeks later when he was mowing the lawn, noticed the grass was not growing there. For MANY years of my little life he would threaten to tell on me, for anything I wouldn't do for him! (The grass grows there again :) )

Celia: Because my mom worked a lot she was always stuck watching me. And I don't think she ever liked it. Well her way of getting me to do something she would always run to the kitchen and grab the scissors our of the drawer and threaten to cut all her hair off, if I didn't do what she asked. And me being so young would scream NO!!!!!!!!!!! Like it was going to hurt me. (I can just see this replay over and over in my mind, now makes me laugh!!)

Needless to say I love my big brother & sister!

There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Winners must post this challenge on their own blog, meaning that you will pay it forward, creating a handmade gift (anything) for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway! Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift. When you receive your gift, blog about it! If you are not one of the first three to comment on this post, you can still play along. Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! It's all about paying it forward.

My Valentine...

2009-02-16T17:18:00.000-08:00

So this year I thought valentines day was going to be LAME...but it was far from it.
I started the day off mowing the lawn..which is something that I ♥ doing. Then I treated my self to a mani...which was very nice, then went and had some sushi for lunch... i &hearts sushi!!!!
Later that night the whole family went out to dinner...it was nice to spend time with them... My POPs for valentines day bought me season 3 of Jon & Kate + 8!!! My FAVORITE SHOW!

Now for the whole reason of this posting... When we got home I noticed I missed a call from the Utah Riley's...I called them back, and much to my surprise Ogden answered the phone...

"Auntie Em... Will you be my valentine?"

"OF COURSE Oggie!"

"I have always wanted you to be my valentine."

"I love you Oggie."
WHAT A SWEET BOY! We always say that Ogden is a old soul stuck in a little boys body. He truly knows how to melt others hearts!
&& definitely has me wrapped around his little finger!

"I am making you a valentine, it's black, but it's a lot of work, and I keep taking breaks..." -Ogden

I miss you FROG!!!!!!!!

I have been in Texas for almost a week... I have been taking care of Ari. He is so much fun. The way he looks at me just melts my ♥ . He will look over at me and just grin! & if you say hiiiii and hold it out he will grin from ear to ear! He likes to stand up (with assistance of course) and talk to me! Especially at night before bed! I think i have gotten him on a good sleeping schedule. I have a new name for him it is Ari "Drama Queen" Thorn. When I feed him a bottle I will stop in the middle of it and burp him & he gets so mad, he throws his head back and wales! and he will sling his hand over on my cheek grabbing it like "do you hear me Auntie EM!!!" It makes me laugh and then he will let out the biggest burp for a little guy like him!

1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 tbl. Parmesan cheese
1 lb ground beef (I halved this with turkey)
1 loaf of French bread cut into 1'' slices
1 8oz package cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cups spaghetti sauce
2 cloves garlic

In a bowl, combine onions, crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Add beef and mix well. Shape into 1'' balls. Place in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 min or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, arrange bread in a single layer of an ungreased 9x13 baking dish (all of the bread might not get used). Toast the bread in the oven till hard to touch. In a bowl combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and pepper, spread over the bread. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese. In another bowl combine sauce, and garlic, add meatballs. Pour over cheese mixture, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 min or until heated through.

So my sister-in-law brought this book home from the library. I was joking and read the 1st page to her...& fell in love. && anyone that knows me, knows I DON'T read! But I can finally say that at the age of 20 I have read my 1st book! & ♥ ed it! The back states... "...Have you ever wondered what keeps a young man from seriously courting or even dating? You'll find the answers here.."

I can say that I did learn somethings. It was a easy read, and kept my attention though tout 3 days! I must confess I finished the book durning church! I am headed back to the library tomorrow to get another book from Jack Weyland.
