Larson Weekend

    Here are just a few pictures of Brian's cute family. We went out to eat with Laurie and Craig a week or so ago. It was so fun! That couple just cracks me up and really sets such a great example for Brian and me. We went to Red Robin to eat (Because Brian is obsessed with their fries) and then went on a walk. We even got Craig and Laurie to try the Megaplex seats (called D-Box) that move along with the movie! Woot! Love these two!

I love their faces when they laugh! I wish mine looked that cute!
     Then on Monday the 25th we went boating at East Canyon with the family! Boy oh Boy was it a blast! We invited Brian's lifelong-childhood friend Matt and his cute wife Katherine!
This little boy makes me Baby Hungry! Look at that cute face!
    I finally got up slalom skiing and stayed up! Woot! Now it's practice makes perfect! My goal is to be as good as Brian and his siblings! Sarah, Curtis, and Mandy all are amazing! I have a lot of examples to help me improve!
    Brian had some GREAT cuts! He really is so talented and is always ready to jump in the water no matter the temperature!
    I also wakeboarded! I couldn't decide which foot to place forward so I kept switching back and forth and back and forth and back and forth! I kept making the same mistakes over and over! I did a couple 180's without knowing what I was doing! Thanks to the family for being so patient with me.
   Here are the cute couples! :) Matt is also applying to Medical School right now and so we are crossing our fingers to go somewhere close to each other! What a FABULOUS day! :)

Sweet 16

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY!
     I can't miss blogging about this BIG day! The 14th was my little Jimmy's 16th Birthday! Woot! Woot! All I ever hear about my brother is what a ladies man he is. I have people tell me all the time, "I love your brother! All the girls love him!" Make way ladies now is your chance to snatch him!

Instead of 16 things I love, I'm gonna put 16 random facts:

1) His memory is amazing. He can quote movies he hasn't seen in years and he could probably give the actors themselves a run for their money.

2) James has always been my pal. When we were young he was always the one that would go on my wild adventures with me as we'd go Carp Hunting or try to catch snakes and frogs. 

3) As a child James believed that my dad was an international swimsuit model
4) James likes to go through my dad's old clothes from high school.. (yes he still has an entire wardrobe!) and not only try them on.. but wear them publically.
5) James secretly wants to be Batman... or Thor or Captain America or Iron Man.. Though his family has always known him as Underwear Boy, since he refused to wear clothes as a child. (Now days he refuses to even wear underwear)
6) James has a strange sense of humor. Things come out of his mouth that I have never even heard before nor would I have ever thought of.


7) James has always been my model for my crazy ideas. I used to love to make stuff out of paper and crafts. I would always use James as my model as I would wrap him up in paper pirate hats and swords.

Yes that's a diaper
8) He has mad skills. He's very athletic and good at anything he tries.


9) James would play Barbies with me in our younger years. Hist first G.I.Joe became my Barbie's new boyfriend.


10) James told a joke once that went like this, "Why do we have pauses inbetween our laughs?" (EX Ha ha ha ha)
Answer: "Because otherwise we would all laugh like this, 'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!'"
Now he randomly yells HAAAA... whereever we go!


11) James has a very strong testimony. He is such a great example to me. I find the little things he does as a reminder for himself, a very strong reminder for me as well. He has a pin-board full of missionary quotes and has little sticky notes around his room reminding him to say his morning prayers.


12) I confess, I made James afraid of the dark as a child. I use to pretend to be a mummy that would chase him whenever the lights went out.


13) James knows every one of Michael Jackson's songs and probably all his moves too.

14) James has a contagious smile and laugh

Dad's old ski racing suit
15) James's nicknames are Big Bellied-blue eyed bubba boy, Jimmy, and The flatulator (in fact he has a shirt my sister made for him that says this and he wears it proudly)


16) James can do a great impersonation of the cartoon pink panther. It kills me every time. :)


    Pretty much he is the most awesome kid ever and my very favorite brother!
I love you Jimmy!

Gotta Laugh!

 I was shown this Russian Vocalist some time ago and it made me laugh then. Then my brother showed me the Trolling Saruman and it just made my day! Brian and I had to watch a few more times! 
See if you find it as funny as we did!

WATCH THIS ONE FIRST

 WATCH THIS ONE NEXT!

Nearer My God to Thee


    My little sister Brooke and I went outside to enjoy the spectacular view outside our home. There was a full rainbow in the front of our house and a beautiful sunset in the back. Every way we turned it was a sight to see. I am so grateful for moments like these!
     When I am blessed with scenery like tonight, I can't help but think about what Heaven will be like when it is so beautiful down here. We are told this is a Telestial world and I can't even begin to fathom what the Celestial world will be like.
