More Roomie Pics

Roommate!

I dedicate this video to my favorite roommates of Royal Crest 202. I swear that is Kelli dancing! (with the ponytail). I have never seen anyone swivel their hips like Kelli, but this girl gets close (she has the same sweater as Kelli too!)

This is pretty much what our apartment was like!

Here are just a few of my favorite things from 359-0022.
The chastity couches
flour floor
showering "rules"
FHE bros
glowstick fights
dance parties (we were the only ones we would invite)
roommate prayer
Jena's mom
"can you SUP me?"
having 6 closets
remember when our bathroom floor started shocking people?!
roommate journal-Blues Traveler What ever happened to that journal?
The BEAST
proximity to campus and Craigos
our crappy, broccoli smelling lounge
ward prayer
FHE at the Bishops
the kissing video
someone to talk to at midnight or later
someone to talk to at 6:30 during the shower rush
our Christmas CD
Sunday dinner
clean check
our clean check fridge chart
our white board
when Jena or Kelli had leftover Galley passes...
ward talent show-our hula hoop routine (does anyone have ANY pics of that?!)
"Are you coming?!"

What do you remember?
Does anyone know what happened to Lisa or Ann Marie? Send this on if you find them!

Love ya Roommate!

Oh I will never tell what I am filing or who's legs are sticking out from under the bed! Your secrets are safe with me!

Just Another Day at the Zoo

We took Lily to the zoo yesterday and we had such a great time! We have this San Diego Zoo video that Lily absolutely loves (actually that is the only way I got the pictures of her earrings!) and we thought she would like to see some of the animals in real life. The Evolution of Man
We named him Orang- utan Sam
Squirreling some acorns
Happiest little butterfly!


One of her faves
Erick and Lily are in matching camo shorts!

Fancy Girl got even fancier!

After much debating, worry, and chickening out, we got Lily's ears pierced! Lily loves to dress up and wear necklaces, stick on earrings, and hair clips. She also likes having her ears cleaned with a Q-tip and ohhs and ahhs over my earrings every chance she gets. We had them done last week at Piercing Pagoda and she was such a trooper. She only cried for one minute and went straight to prancing around like a babyGap model! Lily loves to look at her new earrings in the mirror and knows exactly where they are when we ask her to show us!

They are pink crystal flowers with a white center

I know, that finger is dangerously close to going up her nose!

If I thought pigtails were hard to take a picture of...

Busy Bug

My mom bought this costume for me when I was in high school so I could save it for one day when I had a baby! Lily found it in my bedroom and packed it around until I put it on her. She loves it and acts so funny when she wears it!

Idaho Trip

We just got back (okay so like a week ago) from our two week summer trip to Idaho. We had a great time and as always the time went by too fast.

Here's what made our Top 10 List:

1. Tea Party

My neice Livi (I know Livi and Lily-super confusing and hard to say the right name fast. Her name is really Alivia and since my sister stole the name from me-right from my high school journal-and Gage's name too might I add-I had to get as close as possible to that name with my baby. We're thinking Gabe for a boy... Just kidding-about the getting as close as possible part-we didn't even think about their names being close until later-but the rest is true) turned 4! She had a tea party and all the girls were so fancy and cute with their aprons and cheese sticks on a toothpick. They sipped their "tea" and decorated cupcakes and Lily loved being a big girl!

2. Idaho Heritage Inn
Erick and I went and stayed a night in the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at on our wedding night. My parents watched Lily and we got to sleep soundly without listening for a baby for the first time in over a year. We also slept in so late we missed breakfast!



3. Roaring Springs
My other sister is a Life Guard at Roaring Springs and she got us some tickets into the park. Lily loved the river ride and the kiddie pool!

4. Garden Party

Every night at my parent's house is like a garden party. They have a big, beautiful yard and Lily loved smelling the flowers, picking blackberries and raspberries with Poppy, chasing the cats, and playing with her cousins. (I just realized that I took a ton of pictures with my mom's camera so I will post those when I get them).

5. Johnson Family Reunion
Erick's family had a reunion in Lower Stanley, Idaho. His great grandpa used to go fishing there. Crazy because my family has been going to Redfish Lake which is about 10 miles away since my mom was a baby. Unfortunately our reunions weren't the same week! We stayed in cabins and hiked, went to the lake, beaded some necklaces, made homemade ice cream, played Catch Phrase, had many rousing games of Bocci Ball, and saved many a cousin from running right down the grassy bank into the river! Oh and a lot of fishing went on too. (For many more pics click on Johnson Family Reunion on the side under "See More Pics of the Lil".)

6. Girl Photo Op

The girl cousins all had this adorable white dress thanks to Aunt Shannon and Becky and so we tried to get all 3 little girls under 3 smiling and in one place for a picture!








7. Chinook Salmon
My brothers-in-laws (Matt, Matt, and Dan Dan I know tricky) went for a last late night fishing trip and Matt affectionately known as Matty Lou caught a giant Chinook Salmon! Unfortunately none of the boys had a camera but I believe them just the same.

8. More Water Fountains


We stopped at a cool water fountain in Eagle on our way back to my parents house. I took the kids I used to work with here in high school and they loved it too!









9. Erick's 27th Birthday!
Erick had his birthday the day after we got home. I made him his favorite ice cream cake and we got some yummy take-out. Thanks for all the cards and moolah! They went to good use!

10. Sick, sick, sick!

Lily had a fever of 103 and an ear and throat infection by the time we got home. I guess she was done with vacation!
