More Fun in the Snow

We've gotten a ton of snow the last few days! People are slipping and sliding all over campus, and everyone is bundled up nice and tight. I've also had a few more fun snow adventures - snow angels and snow forts!

The first attempt

The second attempt

 I did not build this fort and I have no idea who is responsible for this creation. It's pretty sweet though, I have no clue how they did it. Apparently these types of forts are used during a snowball fight for maximum protection. It's pretty sweet in there.

P.S. - these photos are a few days old and we now have WAY more snow than featured here :)

Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?

We finally got enough snow today to make a good sized snowman! We've been having a mixture of rain, snow, and sunshine so there hasn't really been enough snow or good enough conditions to build a quality snowman. But today was the day. We finally built a snowman, and we named him Snowy. Gideon, Erin, and I got together to create him, but Erin had to leave before Snowy could be fully created. :( Gideon is responsible for most* of  the heavy lifting and chiseling. Snowy is a classy snowman. He even sports a bow tie and buttons. Go you, Snowy.

Going to dinner today, I saw that Snowy had acquired a small army. I even took a picture with a few of the people that were out there creating army snowmen!

Even a snow woman came into being... you can see Snowy in the background with his army. We're pretty sure she's a witch type of snow woman and Snowy has created an army to protect the residents of Helaman Halls.

Graysons Selfies

This is the sequel to Spencer's Selfies, although this time the subject is not Spencer. It's Grayson. And he actually took all of these on purpose. Enjoy.

Devotionals&Temples

Here are just a few pictures with the highlights of the last week or so - the BYU Womens Chorus sang in the devotional on Tuesday and another successful temple trip happened.

Everyone was super excited and willing to take this picture. ;)

One Week Down

One week down a semester to go... the only huge differences between this semester and last semester are that temple trips are now a Thursday thing and there's a lot more reading for my classes. I found a pretty good way to power through all that reading though...positive reinforcement through M&M's.

Back to School

It's the second day back and I'm somewhere between stressed and excited about my classes. They all seem really cool and I like my schedule a lot, but a couple of them also seem like they're going to be very hard. Especially my Spanish class - it's completely full of returned missionaries. Yikes! I did love getting to see all of my friends again though. Oh how I've missed them <3

Christmas Vacation - Mississippi Style

I ended out my glorious Christmas break by spending a week with my family in the cute little town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I really enjoyed getting to go back and see my fam. I got to see Chase and Ryan play some basketball, and they're pretty good! I like cheering. Loudly. ;) We also got to see some friends and enjoy celebrating birthdays! At one good friends house, we watched Nacho Libre. It was absolutely hilarious. I loved it. I also got to go on a super fun date with a friend who had just returned from his mission to Canada! We had a blast. I loved getting to see my family <3

Chase likes LSU. And smiling for my pictures.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Chase is almost smiling in this one!

Dads nasty smoothie fell out of the fridge...what a shame.
