Zoooooo

Another animal themed-post...weird.
Also I would just like to note that of course the weekend we picked to go the zoo, we found out both zebras had died 5 days previously under mysterious circumstances...weird squared.



we're just adorable, and that's all there is to it :D

It's like a lion and a tiger mixed...bred for its skills in magic.

I guess it all started with my weird work experience on Friday when a guy resembling Napoleon Dynamite actually unintentionally tried to hit on me using a very similar line from the movie. Maybe you remember the "I like your sleeves. They're real big" part. Yeah. Well Mitch thought it was hilarious, and wanted to watch Napoleon Dynamite after hearing about it. So Tuesday night we watched it, and Mitch made a passing comment about the liger that Napoleon draws, do they really exist??

Of course I was shocked, how do you not know about ligers? They’re only one of the coolest things ever!!! With the Monte L Bean Museum within a 5 minute drive, I decided that he had to experience them for himself. So we went. And there I showed him Shasta, the long-deceased stuffed liger who is famous worldwide for being the longest-living liger in captivity (the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake, to be exact), 25 years!!! We also walked around the whole museum, and looked at the other weird animals. I also made him do a scavenger hunt to see which of us could find the animals quickest. I won. Hahaha.

Lions and Tigers (liger)


and Bears, Oh my!! (That's Mitch's scared face)

Are you ready for some football?

Last year my dad and brothers and I started a new "family tradition" of going to the armed forces bowl on New Years. This was our second year, and it was a lot more fun this time since we actually showed up early and got to look at all the sweet military stuff before the game. It was a good game too..air force dominated.




yes that's me holding an m16...zach and tyler made me do it hahaha

Air Force running onto the Field...go Colton! (he's the last A flag, I think)

Snow- Sucky, Slippery, Sub-Zero Slush

A series of unfortunate events from the past 2 days which can only PROVE that snow is horrible and should be done away with.

• I was stuck behind a snow plow on University Parkway...going12 miles an hour. As if traffic in Provo isn't already bad enough.
  
• I fell into a pile of snow trying to scrape said snow off of my car.
• I was very nearly bulldozed/killed into a pile of snow by an inept groundskeeper. He apparently didn't see me there, WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK. In case I'm very much mistaken, on campus, large pieces of machinery yield to pedestrians, not the other way around.
• I have twice been deprived of a parking spot in my own parking lot, because other inconsiderate residents in my complex decide to make up their own spots (which are a good 3-4 feet apart I might add) when the lines are no longer visible. How hard is it to park close to the person next to you, seriously??
  
• My hair froze into little blonde icicles on my way to campus, which I had to thaw out once I got to work so I wouldn't look like a freaking snow-dwelling yeti. Yes, I was wearing a hood. No, I do not know how that is possible.
  
• I woke up this morning to find not just the outside, but the INSIDE of my windshield coated with a layer of ice. Yes, my windows and doors were all the way shut. No, I do not know how that is possible either.
  

BYZOO

Unfortunately for me (and the rest of you) my camera has recently decided to kick the bucket, which leaves me with very few pictures to base my posts around. Fortunately I do have a camera phone, so I was able to upload a couple of pictures for your enjoyment.

Here is a sampling of the kind of people that are here are BYU... I laughed so hard when I saw this:


Here is the beautiful apple pie I made last week (it's still in the freezer,waiting to be baked and eaten):


And here is a recent picture of me and mitchell. Try not to be jealous of how adorable we are :D


Only two weeks left of school!! Life is good!

Um...

Okay is this not the coolest thing you've ever seen?? I'm totally making one. I just can't figure out an occasion to make one for...

:D
