BaBy NaMeS!!!!

OK well as some of you know I am in Child Development. We get our babies in precisely 14 days or 2 weeks!!! I am so excited!!! Me and Kaitlyn decided we were going to put a poll up for names to name our baby, but instead I am posting this and I want all of you to leave a comment and tell me what name I should do-making a poll would be to hard to think of names!!! So leave me a comment and tell me a boy and a girl name!! Haha me and Kaitlyn are looking for exotic names though haha!!! This might seem weird but we are SO excited!!! HAHA we have them over a weekend and we have to take them to church!!! haha that will be pretty much intense!! haha we are so excited!!!!!! AH

Stake Dances or Dress-ups?!?!?!?!?

haha you might be really excited to here about this Saturday night adventure but I will first tell you about the start of they day because it was a great day!

Well my older sister Ashley ran the Top Of Utah Marathon in Logan last Saturday! She did really good! We had to wake up REALLY early in the morning to get up to Logan and watch her! we got up there around 9:30ish (of course knowing the girls in my family....we had to make a couple of stops:D). When we got there we met up with my brother-in-law Tyler. She hadn't come in yet so we just sat there and waited for about an hour and a half. It was like raining on and off and when it did rain it would like pour then out of no were just stop...It was quite odd. Well she finally finished!!! She got 4 hours!! She has gotten better but I guess that she got really sick which is to bad! Her goal was to qualify for Boston but didn't cuz she got sick! She was doing so good though! If she just didn't get sick too bad oh well maybe now she can have a baby!! (that is what we are all hoping to bad she isn't thinking to much of the same thing just yet). Here are some pictures of her running to the finish line (she is in the black shorts and salmon/pink colored shirt!).

After the marathon we walked back to there hotel. It was like the next street over from the race!! We stayed there for about 15 minutes probably then headed back to the car. My brother Steven's mission companion came home from his mission and lived in Logan because he was going to school at Utah Sate. My dad also had to meet up with a client so we were going to be in Logan for a couple more hours. We couldn't get ahold of Elder Galvin so my dad called his client and asked if he could move the meeting up a little earlier. He said it was ok so we took him to his house. We dropped him off and didn't know what to do so we went to a park and ate our lunch. Elder Galvin had called and said that we could go see him right now because he was going to the Utah State football game. We had to go right then so we met Ashley and Tyler at the Smith's right across the street from his house. My dad couldn't come because he had his meeting, we all felt really bad but you have to do what you have to do. To bad he called right when we got to his house and said he was done and we could go pick him up! Anyways we met up with them and then went to his house. He lived in the house that my grandpa grew up in....what are the odds?!?!

me, Elder Galvin, Kirsten, my mom, Ashley, and Tyler

After we left his house we went and picked up my dad then left for home. Once we got back all of my family was here well just the Wilder family so we went over to my grandmas for a while. Rachael came over and me, her, and Mikail (my cousin) all went over to my house. We talked for a while then my mom and aunt Laurie (Mikails mom) came over and wanted to make cookie dough. They made it then we went over to my grandmas. They didn't want anyone to see it and when we were walking over someone came out of the garage so we had to hide behind of the car it was so funny! My mom and Laurie went and told us to put the cookie dough in the fridge. Once the cost was clear we ran to the fridge and put the cookie dough in and went inside. We were all laughing so hard because it was just so funny! My mom and Laurie are so funny!! HAHA Laurie is the best haha! Anyways when we went inside we wanted some more action. We were deciding what to do. We decided to go run through mine and Mikail's friends Megan's backyard because she was with a bunch of her friends and the boy she was madly in love with!! haha we ran back to my house and got in all these dress ups! It was awesome!!

Rachael

Mikail

ME

It was so funny! Mikails dad Rex took us over there and we ran through there backyard they were right inside the first time and saw us and just knocked on the door. LAME! then they went outside and we ran through there backyard like 5 times and they didn't run after us!! It was stupid!! haha Rachael wanted to go to the stake dance and I didn't really want to go cuz I had a REALLY bad cold that I still have but was worse Saturday I like couldn't even breathe so we didn't go and this is what we did instead it was fun but stupid cuz they didn't run after us haha but that's why I have my title for this post!! But if anyone ever runs through your backyard run after them!! haha but it was really fun!!

School

Well I am officially up to date with my blog!!!....With the exception of school so here is my school update....



Well I have officially survived almost 3 weeks school!!! It actually hasn't been to bad...With the excpetion of having to wake up so stinking early!!!! I have all of my classes with alot of my friends!!! It's pretty fun!!! Here is my schedule



A1- Seminary- Brother Lund...I really like seminary, it goes by so fast! But Brother Lund know's my parents really well so he picks on me!

A2-English-Miss Mcneill...Oh man I LOVe this class!! It's probably my favorite class!!! Well mainly because Rachael is in it:D haha but i love Miss Mcneill!! She is awesome!!! And she even let me and Rachael sit right next to each other!! It's the best class!! I know you guys are probably thinking that she was stupid to do that but we only talk when its necessary..And a couple of other times but its just a short comment, well i will say this we dont talk when she's talking but we do, do our fair share of laughing!! We just look at each other and we start laughing! Oh well she doesn't care:). But in that class it goes Tanner (Joe Jonas), Me (Yoda haha dont ask), Rachael (Angel haha), and Cody (Jake Ryan)! We all sit in the same row, are in the same reading group and do EVERY activity together! haha its awesome we are all BEST friends haha its awesome and we all have nicknames for each other:) haha!

A3-Spanish 2-Mr. Smith... I like this class kind of... It was alot funner last year.

A4-Clothing-Mrs. Ostler...I love sewing!! Its the best class(even though I spend 3/4 of my time un picking :D haha)



B1-Child Development-Mrs. Ostler...This class is so much fun!! I love it!! ALL of my friends are in it!! It's the best!!! I can't wait till we get to take babies home!!!

B2-Math-Mrs. Hunt...I like this class! I really like math though its probably one of my favorite subjects. I dont think she likes me very much because Mikayla, Whitney, Brayden and Hunter are all in that class with me and we sat right next to each other and just talked the whole time...Until she moved us:( haha oh well They all sit together besides me though but luckily I'm only a row away.

B3-Biology-Mr. Gosar... I dont know if I like this class just quite yet. We haven't done one thing relating to biology yet so I cant decide. The first day the teacher was kind of....Interesting. haha I sit in a corner (not even joking) and I'm litterally by no one! Well Oliva, Mikayla, and Brittani are all in that class but I dont sit by them:( well just kidding Olivia just got moved so I kind of sit by her now!!

B4-History-Mr. Myers... This class is fun! The teacher is SO laid back so its fun!:D I have alot of friends in this class and sit right next to them!! It's the best!!

Well school has been lots of fun!!! Besides the work:D. Well I hope you all are having a wonderful school year!!

Well we had gone to Jamba Juice during our free time so at dinner me and Megan were not hungry!! We went back to our dorm's because my cousin was gonna come over. She called me right when we got there and said that she had gone to dinner so she didn't come over so me and Megan didn't want to go back to the meeting spot right away so we just stayed there for a little bit. We though it would be funny if we toilet papered mine and Brittani's stuff and Alex and Megan's stuff so it would be like Hannah and Bethany saw the under wear and knew it was us so they got us back. This is how we did it! My counselor Jeff!
