So this weekend was so much fun! Tammy, Erik and the kids came down from Utah:) We all had a BIG family birthday for all the October-November Birthdays. Erik's birthday was on Thursday, Bailey's and my birthday is on Monday(3rd), and Jenn's birthday is on wednesday(5th). I had tons of Fun going trick or treating with the little kids because their costumes were soo cute! little Hunter was a Dog, Courtney was Ariel, Jonathan was Optimus Prime, Bailey & Wyatt were Donald and Daisey duck, and Joseph was a 70's guru. HAHA. Another week is soon approaching and reality is hitting me once again, time to go back to school.ugh.

FALL

So it's fall and school has started yet once again. My schedule is soo full that I barely have time to sleep. It's crazyiness!! My schedule consists of Anatomy/Physiology, chemistry, speech, and art appreciation. So far I love my science classes, speech is okay, and art appreciation is fun when my teacher isn't going on tangants talking about things I don't really care about. LOL. I got a new calling in church as the secretary in the activities committee. i'm excited because it's something new.

BACK IN CALIFORNIA:)

BEING IN UTAH WAS REALLY FUN AND I MET ALOT OF NICE PEOPLE, BUT I'M GLAD TO BE IN CALIFORNIA AGAIN. THE MONDAY I CAME BACK I WENT TO THE BEACH WITH NIKKI AND ALEX(HE'S FROM GERMANY)FOR 7 HOURS AND GOT FRIED TO A CRISP. THE REST OF THE WEEK I HUNG OUT WITH BRITTANY AND HAYLEY AS MUCH AS POSSBLE BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. SO FRIDAY NIGHT BRITTANY AND I TOOK ALEX TO DIPPIN DOTS, BECAUSE HE'S NEVER HAD IT BEFORE. TAMMY FLEW IN AND SPENT SOME TIME WITH THE FAMILY BEFORE SHE GOES BACK TO WORK NEXT WEEK. ON SATURDAY BRITTANY AND I WENT TO JOSEPH PARENTS HOUSE AND TOOK UNDERWATER PICTURES IN THERE POOL. I HAD TONS OF FUN MY FIRST WEEK BACK TO CALIFORNIA THAT I WOULD LEAVE AND COME BACK AGAIN.

BLASTING!!

So I'm finally here up in Utah!!! Tammy lives in a community that has everything. I get to walk to the gym, which is only a street away. Have a Lake, shopping mall (going to open soon, hopefully), swimming pools; everything you could possibly think of, and the best part... it is all for FREE!! My favorite:)

I'm having such a fun time with the kids, even though they are a handful to deal with.

School's out!!!

Spring semester is almost over and I am ready for a much needed vacation.
So, next week I'm leaving for Utah for the summer to visit my sister Tammy, Erik, Bailey, and Wyatt. I'm excited because I have not yet seen Wyatt, the newest family member. Also, I'm going to help Tammy update her blog profile every once in a while.

IT'S A BARBIE WORLD

Barbie is a famous American Icon for tween girls (ages 9-12). Barbie influences people to have the perfect body; legs, waist, bust size. Plastic sugery plays a big role in helping female obtain these measurements. What do you think Barbie is teaching young girls today about their body image. Do you thing Barbie is getting too sexy? Researchers today say if Barbie was a real person she would stand 5-foot-6, weigh 110 pounds and have a 39-inch bust line, an 18-inch waist, and 33-inch hips. She would be an unhealthy size. Is Barbie the reason girls become anorexic in the first place?

I Don't Get It!!

WHY do people tell you that being different is a good thing? Standing out of the crowd makes you an individual because you are not doing what other people are doing. People that have their own style are saying "Hey, I am not doing what the other crowds are doing," but other people who think the person with his or her own style is weird try to help the person get back into the "norm" group.

I just don't get how people tell kids to have their own style to seperate them from the rest of the group, but then try to tear down that person's individualism by putting that person down for having a different style.

People who wear makeup enhance their beauty. Just because that person's eye shadow is dark doesn't mean that they are going gothic or are covering up how ugly they are. Yes, some guys like when girls wear different shades of eye shadow because the girl is a person who has her style.

People who don't have their style aren't individuals and follow the crowd. People rely on their brains while other people can rely on their looks. People who are smart and go through law school always think they know what's best for another person's future. I'm here to tell you people who are smart and go through law school have their right to their own opinion, but why can't they keep it to themselves?

I though while a person is young they are not suppose to fit into the "norm" groups, and it's okay to be considered weird or "peculiar". Why do people who have a differnet style get teared down by the people who can't keep their opinions to themselves?
People want to express their style even if other people don't agree with the style.(you wanted to know what i thought)

Another Week

So I am super excited for this week to be over because I can't wait for spring break in a week. This semester is going by kinda slow, I have to admit. Tammy is having her baby this month and I am really really excited to be able to spend time with the family in Utah in June!! What am I going to do for spring break? i wish the weather is nice enough to go to the beach. But I will probably spend some time with Brit before she has to go back to school in a week:( well I have to go study, study, study for my midterms this week.

Mii and Wii

THE GAME FACE.LOL

TENNIS

BASEBALL
So today was a blast!! Went to psychology at 7am, then to the gym with Jenn & Joseph, then played Wii, then went to yoga. And am i tired!! But last night Brittany and I had to watch the kids and played Wii for the first time. so here are some Pictures.

PhoTo SHOot

Well Brittany and me were really bored and nothing to do, so we decided to do a photoshoot with the Pederson's new puppy, chief. LOL.

FLASHMOBS

My first day of school my psychology teacher was giving his usual leture on welcoming the class to the new school year and what he expects us to do in his class. He goes off on a lot of tangents and this time he was telling the class about flashmobs. An example of a flashmob is when one person gets a group of people and dress in the target colors (red shirt with khaki pants). Then the group goes to target and spreads throughout the store, helping people or whatever. Then a horn blows or some kind of signal so that the group knows whether to freeze in place, or even just suddenly drop to the floor. If you would like to see other flashmobs that other people have done just go to youtube.com

Though i have never done a flashmob, i think it would be hilarious to go into an elevator and see how many people conform to the way a person is facing. Like when you go into an elevator face opposite of the doors, and see how many people you can get to follow your position. what would be even more funny is if you kept moving facing different ways and if the other person in the elevator does follow. I have been wanting to try this for quite some time, expecially in a casino where people are drunk and you could probably get them to do whatever you want, like persuading them into giving you money. Whatever i think i am just bored and hope everone will look up flashmobs because they are SO FUNNY.

How many people conform with society today just to fit in? i have written papers upon papers on this subject and i have come to the conclusion that everyone wants to fit in the "norm" group. Doesn't everyone want to fit into society because they don't want to be labeled as "weird"? what do you think?

fUn IN tHe SUN!!!

Today Brittany and I went to the beach. We got soo burnt, but it was a beautiful day that we did not want ot miss. When we needed a rebust of EnerGY we reached over and ate a hand full of M&M's, LOL. It was fun. And i can't wait for another day like today because i love being out in the sun!!!

YOGA!

well this is my second week of yoga and i am starting to like it!!! i feel soo much better afterwards! my favorite pose has got to be the child's pose and bali seal because they are the most comfortable positions to rest in. my least favorite poses are plank with hip extension and chaturanga; even though, they both work out my abs, they get harder to do. Yoga is very relaxing and that's why i love it soo much!!

My Week

well to start off my classes at RCC started. I am taking psychology, sociology, an online English class, and yoga. It was an "OKAY" week because we did nothing. I started my yoga class, i thought it was going to be an easy class, but after my first day of yoga my body ached like somebody beat me up, and i am trying to recover over the weekend. Tammy's babyshower was on Thursday and it aws fun because i am only really their for the food and to support my sister; of course. Erik, Tammy, and Bailey are own visiting and it has been fun to be able to see them once in awhile. I finally finished the thrid book "Elipse" from the Twilight series and can't wait for the next book and the movie to come out!!!

Twilight the Movie!!!!!

I saw the SUN!!

It starting to Finally get sunny!! I am way excited because I love going out to the beach and being in the sun. I have two more weeks left in winter session at school and am excited to start Spring Semester. Erik and Bailey are down for the weekend, so i am going to go see them later today.

Twilight

I've just been reading the book Twilight, by Stephanie Meyers. After Chapter 4, I was soo hooked on it the last two days that i actually finished the book in less than 36 hours. And i don't even like to read. but these last couple days i've been a real book worm.*****

OH SNOW!!!!

While visiting my sister up in Utah; we all went sledding in the mountains. I had tons of FUN!!!


Me and miss Bailey waiting for our turn on the sled
