Pioneer Song Pictures!

I had so much fun playing the part of Sonya in the BYU-I production of Pioneer Song. This is a picture of four of us being silly and acting like our characters. Can you tell that my character is sick and abused? Poor Sonya. Every night while everyone got their stage make up on and their hair done up all pretty, I got to make bags under my eyes and mess up my hair.

This is me and little Sam. He was made such a cute little dead pioneer child.

Isn't the set beautiful? The mountains in the back grew as the pioneers got closer to Oregon.

Original Thai

Gillian Grant is visiting America again. Benjamin introduced her into the gospel on his mission to Wales. She took us out to Original Thai (main street in Rexburg). It was such a fun time! We got satay chicken appetizers and Benjamin got half of a crispy duck. It tasted sooooooo good!!! I got a pineapple duck curry. We love Thai food! I highly recommend Original Thai. Thanks Gilly!

Crispy Duck
(I know it might sound strange, but it was soooo yummy!)

Shadows Over Camelot

The game.

This is a picture of everyone pouting becuase I won as the traitor night. Usually the players work together to win the game as the nights of the round table. This time I drew the traitor card. I had to secretly help the dark nights progress. I accused anthony of being the traitor to throw everyone off, I pretended to play high cards when I actually had low cards, I purposley lost the quests, and I had to act innocent the whole time. I was so scared the whole time. I hated lying and I was so nervous that they would see right through me. It was a blast!

Kylie and Gracee

Amy Jo and Gracee Judd

Benjamin's cousins Ruffin and Liz Judd invited us over for family night during spring break. We had cookies and milk and played a fun game called Shadows over Camelot. I was the traitor and I won the whole game as the traitor knight.

Thanks Ruff and Liz! We had so much fun!

Birthday Bash

Benjamin bought me this book! He wants me to read it to him when we finish Inkheart.

My visiting teachers brought me a whole plateful of these cute cupcakes and the matching purple flowers shown above. I love purple and green together!

Happy Birthday Grandma Jo!

My little sister made me a wooden pokey stick. She cut down the willow, peeled off the bark, rounded the bottom, carved the markings, and widdled it to a point. Thanks Emily!!! I love it!!!!! Your the best!

What a season of celebration! A few weeks ago my new cousin Kyle was born. On Feb 26th it was my Birthday and my Grandma Jolene Nissen's Birthday. The 28th was my visiting teacher Vivian's Birthday.

Oh and I almost forgot my nephews Jacob and Myles recently both had Birthdays and my sister Kylie. Happy Birthday Everyone!( Sorry If I missed anyone. ) 

I have always had awesome birthdays.

 16th birthday: the high school caught on fire. I was at school just long enough to get a few gifts from my friends and a first date with my sweetheart (now my husband). We were let out of school for the rest of the day and a few days after to let the smoke air out. That day a bunch of my friends went over to Little Ceasers and bought a bunch of 5 dollar Pizzas. At the time it was right next door to my dad's office. He saw Jessie Rudd outside with pizza and he asked what was going on. She said that the school was burning down and school was let out and a bunch of people were going to suprise me. My dad hurried an called me to tell me they were coming. He knows that I only like mild suprise parties. He gave me chance to clean up the house real quick and get cute before the boy I had a crush on (agian, my husband) came over with flowers, pizza, and a big group of people. 

17th Birthday: I was going to go on a date with Benj on my birthday. The day before, when I asked him what time he would pick me up, he made up some excue like, "oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Maybe another time ok?" Then he just walked away without another word. I was terrified that he didn't like me anymore. So instead I went to lunch with Brodie, Jeff, Lindsay, Mal, and Kendra (my theatre friends). After a few hours of hanging out at Jeff's house, my dad called and said that he had a scary feeling that something bad was going to happen and that he wanted me to come home right away. I thought I was going to die on my birthday! So I hurried home. I opened the garage door to pull the car in and inside was the giant 15 seater Romney van. Benjamin was standing there with flowers and a bunch of my other friends, my brother and cousins. We loaded up the van and Benj took us to Blast Off for a few rounds of Lazer Tag and pizza. It was so fun! Then we took everyone home and Benj and I watched a movie together. 

This year I got a new Camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you mom and dad! We are really excited to be able to take good pictures. It is an Olympus FE-20. It has 8 megpixels and a bunch of different settings. I don't know much about photography terminology so i am not sure what that even means. But I sure do love it.  Benjamin also made me breakfast, and took me out to dinner. He got me that book shown above, a bunch of lotions that I like, the Paul Mitchell Hair stuff I like, a gift card for The Hair Academy so that I can go pamper myself, and some craft stuff (Cyrstal Laquer). Thansk everyone!

Happy Birthday To Amy Jolene and Jolene

I am so luck to have such a sweet grandma to share my birthday with!!! Happy Birthday Grandma Jolene! Yay for February 26!

This is the picture my little nephews (thanks to abe and chelsea) sent me while Benjamin was on his mission. It was a bold statement. I wasn't their aunt then, and there was a chance I never would be. Boy, am I glad that their prediction was right. I sure love them! And I sure love their parents, Abe and Chelsea! Most of all, I love my sweet Benjamin!

Look at the cute necklace that my sister-in law Chelsea gave me for my birthday! She makes the cutest necklaces out of scrabble pieces, modge podge, bails, and cute paper (and other things.). This one is made from glass instead of a scrabble piece. I love it! I made some around Christmas, but I haven't finished them yet, I'll post them soon! Thanks Chelsea!!!



And to top it off I got the most beautiful drawings from my adorable nieces Amberlee and Autumn Stewart in Moscow, Idaho! Thanks Girls!
