Math's math graduation

Matthew graduated this past weekend. He's super smart...I mean he graduated in math what more can I say? Honestly just thinking about his classes kind of stressed me out. It was fun that my family came down and we could participate in all the different graduation festivities plus we went to the Carl Bloch exhibit which was amazing. Our little Mathlete is all grown up now.

This was right before we went to a little reception for all Math majors in the Math lab. I don't want to brag or anything but I saw one of my old Math professors before Matthew even saw one of his. I took the attention for a minute. But it was fun to see all of Matthew's math homies. Plus this is a cute picture of the parents and the graduate.

Just waiting before Matthew got to walk across the stage.

Friday night after the big university thing where all the graduates go we went to Tucano's. Soooo good. Matthew got to stand up and dance for a bit with all the other graduates like it was his birthday. Our table was the only one in the whole restaurant that had a tablecloth so that was cool and we saw Jimmer and my Grandpa LaVell tried to introduce us all even though I already know him haha oh and then my mom proceeded to try to take creeper pictures with him in the background.

One of my good friends Claire Pingree's brother was also graduating so that was fun to see her. She's awesome. It was also fun because her dad and my dad were super good friends in medical school so that was a fun reunion of friends.

That's what Matthew gets for having all sisters.

A family so proud.

My mom looooves J-Dawgs so anytime she can find a way to go there she makes it happen. This is post-Carl Bloch pre-graduation ceremony. Math looked so nice in his new suit and his haircut didn't look too shabby either if I do say so myself.

Boys.

Girls.

track as of late

Jenna and Jeff came and watched us in Arizona. It was sooooo fun to see them and hear Jenna SCREAMING down the home stretch. It was so nice of them to come especially because it was raining. Jenna is greatly missed.

Just the 800 crew. Cho really wanted this picture because of the Ys on the backs of our uniforms.

The family came to Stanford and it was Jayne's first time ever seeing me race track for BYU. Crazy I know. She definitely chose a good meet to come to it's so pretty there. I love my supportive family. Seriously though. (Lacey did my hair for this meet. Pretty fly)

We've had lots of luck with the weather this year with almost all of them having rain. Stanford was the worst though. The ground around us was flooding and some of the girls had to run through a monsoon I'm pretty sure. We do loooove our rain jackets though

couldn't be cuter if she tried

honestly...could my niece Sage's cheeks look any chubbier and could she look any cuter?

Answer: I think not.

grandpa alvin is 76

On Wednesday we had a party for my G-pa Alvin because he turned 76. It was fun to be at home and celebrate this great man who is loved by many.

This picture was taken right before our guest of honor had to leave to go to choir practice. When duty calls one must go.

I was my cousin Ethan's first piano teacher so he performed a little something something for me. He is seriously amazing! He played some Jon Schmidt song and he's in seventh grade. I think the best part about him playing the piano is the fact that he knows it's a babe magnet ha.

My mom really out did herself with this yummy fruit truffle. It was delux.

Precious.

This party was so legit we even busted out our nice plates and stuff which had to be hand cleaned not just put in the dish washer and please notice who is cleaning....

Look at this precious gem we found looking through pictures. So cute right?

Put this picture up for my mom who looooves our cat. Its name used to be Wilhemina and we called it Mini but it has gained so much weight and no longer is mini so we now call her Fatti. Much more appropriate don't ya think?

mandy's manicures

Lately I've become obsessed with painting my nails thanks to my wonderful roommate Mandy. I was so privileged to go to her salon a few sundays ago in her room where she gave me quite the manicure and for FREE! I'm so lucky I know. We are in love with O.P.I brand of polish mostly because they have amazing names for the colors. Some examples are: my chihuahua bites, berries in the canary, Cajun shrimp, and party in the cabana. Wouldn't that be a great job to decide what a nail polish will be called?

rachel is twenty one!!

One time when I was a senior in high school I came to BYU on a recruiting trip.
While I was there I roomed with a girl named Rachel.
We became friends quite easily.
We both came to BYU and continued our friendship.
We lived together in the dream lounge sophomore year.
Now we live in the Blue House together.
She is great.
We are best friends and practically family (seriously though)
It was her birthday March 14 and we had a surprise dessert party for her.
She loved it and the party was a success.

vegas 2011.

This weekend I went down to Vegas for the tournament. Maddie and I didn't have any tickets and didn't know how we were going to get any because they were all sold out but we had some serious faith in our cougs and we just went along for the ride. It was so much fun!

We didn't know how we were going to get into the Friday night game so as we drove there we were crossing everything we had for good luck. It paid off...we got some bomb tickets.

Such a precious picture of some of the track guys that we met up with down there. Too bad it was too late that they didn't even have the Bellagio fountains working but luckily we saw them the next night.

Maddie and I saw the WORLD'S LARGEST CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN! I am considering somehow getting that thing for my wedding.

Kept up the family tradition and stopped in Filmore at Larry's Drive-In for a shake on the way home. I also made everybody in our squishy car (five people all over 5'9'' in a small saab) moan as loud as we could as we passed through Mona. I think my fellow carmates were satisfied with the traditions.

We went to the Hard Rock Cafe which was really fun. I got a free glass cup and pin because I helped one of the workers by putting her hair in a pony tail in the bathroom. Yes. Random I know.

Walking around the strip at like 1 in the morning who do I run into but some of my best friends from the good ol dub X. I was so pumped to see so many of my high school friends..it's been so long!

This picture was taken at who knows what time. We were all just very tired as we waited for the other people in our group. I started to get a second wind and put out Curtis' hat to see if I could earn money through my singing or dance moves (don't worry this wasn't right on the strip because that would be scandalous) while Curtis and Nate-O were just extremely tired.

Our amazing friend Rodriguez made friends with some SDSU fans and they hooked us up with Friday night tickets and yes I got to see Jimmer score 52 points in the flesh. He was throwing it DOWN and it was way sweet to see history being made.

I realized how much I love blown glass. Ever since the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake where they had a big exhibit by Dale Chihuly I've just loved it. Anyways when we were walking around I saw this little exhibit and we got to see some AMAZING things made of glass. It was so pretty.

Yes we are so pumped to win. Also our seats weren't too shabby eh? I really liked how the Cougarettes danced to the song, "Teach Me How To Jimmer" Clever. Very clever.
