Little Purple Pansies and Other Precious Things

All the flowers on campus are just beautiful. I love them!

We went to a multi-stake conference tonight for redistricting and changes in leadership. Our ward became the 126th ward in the 9th stake. And our bishopric was released. I'm really going to miss them! It's been a pleasure serving with such inspired and blessed men.

My Best Friends for Life

Apparently it's Sibling's Day, so today's post is about my wonderful siblings.

Big Bro

Jorel is my older brother. My fondest memory of my older brother is waiting for him to come home after school. I remember hearing the big yellow bus turn the corner and knowing that my favorite playmate would soon return to assist me in mischief making. I was proudest of my older brother when he left to serve an LDS mission in Las Vegas, Nevada. This picture was from his first Christmas back home.

Frumpy Pigskin (aka Cookie Monster, aka Smiley, aka Moose, aka Widdle Bruver)

Aaron is my little brother. When we were really little, people used to mistake us for twins until my Uncle decided to cut my brother's blonde curls so he looked more like a little boy than a little girl. He was my date to Senior Prom and I'm super excited for him to submit his mission papers soon! This picture is from his high school graduation celebration for which I made him a cookie cake to match his nickname.

Lil Sister 1

Miranda is one of my little sisters and she just does so many amazing things. She just finished her first novel, something I started to do many times, but never finished. She's a beautiful young lady and I wish every one could be know her and be her best friend! We have tons of fun whenever we get together, usually with water guns, like in this picture.

Lil Emily (Sister 2)

Emily is my youngest sister and the baby of the family, so naturally she's been spoiled by all of us her whole life. She's really smart and likes to try new things like playing the Cello. She's a happy little ray of sunshine and enjoys reading and telling jokes. And she has a beautiful smile, as you can see.

Siblings- My best friends for life and eternity

A Zoo

A story first ... When my little brother was learning to read and write, one of the first things he was able to write was "A zoo". Not even a complete sentence, just a noun. And he wrote it everywhere. Literally. There are walls in my parent's house that have "A zoo" written on them from over almost fifteen years ago. So, here's to my little brother and Hogle Zoo.

Some kind of lemur ... monkey ... chimp ... thing ...

Los elephantes!! It was cold so they were staying over under the awning ...

Gorilla ... there were three of them and one was a big fat one that I didn't get a picture of. He ate his poop. In front of us. Gross.

I love a monkey's uncle, yeah yeah ... and I'm mad about his chimpanzee!!

Yeah, it snowed ... poor animals ...

Awooooooooooo!!!!!!!

White wolves- So pretty!

Here a llama, there a llama and another little llama. Fuzzy llama, funny llama, llama, llama duck. :] (Click here for enlightenment.)

Male animals are attracted to Lyz ... weird ...

This giraffe is 6 months old!! So cute!!!! :D

Or music

Sea Lion that was swimming around. Just swimming round and round in circles.

This one was playing with a stick. For a long time.

They were cute :]

He was old. His eyes also looked creepy and weird.

And then he got tired and just sat on his little ledge until it started snowing again.

Polar bear! It was feeding time and he was DEVOURING those fish. It was kind of scary how sharp his teeth were and how fast he was ripping through his dinner ...
