Boise and Lagoon

So A lot of things have happened since the last post, and when I tried to get the pictures up, they all went out of order for some reason. If there isn't a caption, just assume they're of crazy whateverness.






Rachel didn't have much luck tossing the pizza.


Alex ordered a new guitar and it got here this week, He was at work, so he had me email him a picture of it. Of course this is what I did.

Something is wrong with my phone where It randomly decides to Shut off every once in a while, so the warranty people sent me a new battery in this bag. The battery didn't help at all so I need to call them and get an entire new phone.

Good times with Band people back in Boise.

Gangsta Megan in the car.

For FHE we finger-painted with pudding.

And of course, Alex made a Poke-Ball.

For Halloween, We were the Entire Incredibles family Plus Frozone. We got asked to leave the Heritage Halls party because of the masks and the pants.

Moises was Richard Simmons, even though he had to go to rehearsal instead of trick-or-treating.



The day after Halloween we went to Lagoon!

And Subway for lunch.

Cleaning week

This week started off great and disgusting when we played the Skittles game at FHE.

I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Our cleaning check was on Thursday night, and since we hadn't thought too much about cleaning before we heard that cleaning checks were this week, we had to get busy. Fortunately, Aaron our RA was pretty easy, and just had us touch up a few things while he was inspecting.

We passed, so we broke out some Martinelli that Jeremiah bought because it was cheap.
This is Moises, he's the new roommate that we got last week.

Alex and I like to have ours in a little bigger quantity.

Friday night was a birthday party for 2 girls in our ward, Cami and Stacey. It was a very stuffing party that involved quite a few eating contests, including a race to see who could get the ENTIRE apple down. I got a close... 3rd.

Here's the Birthday girls participating in their own Pudding contest.

Cami is the Chubby Bunny Champ.

After that party, Lauren came over from a Blacklight danceparty, and drank some IBC... and then we played rockband.

So, A bunch of friends and I were planning on going to Lagoon on Saturday. We spent the whole week getting excited for the roller coasters and Frightmares. THEN we found out that it was going to be really crowded because the entire state of Utah didn't have school thursday or friday. So, we decided to reschuedule since everyone had a ton of homework anyway. Instead we were going to go on a hike. Mt. Timp has been teasing me for the past few weeks, the first weekend I would have been able to climb, it snowed. Last weekend it was melting a little, but not really enough to get to the top. This weekend it was finally clear enough, but we hadn't planned on it so we couldn't really just pick up and go. Next weekend we'll be in boise, and the next is when we reschueduled Lagoon. By that time I'm sure there will be snow for the remainder of the year, so hopefully it melts before I leave on my mission next summer.

Instead we "hiked" (by hiking I mean walked on a cement path) to Bridal veil falls. The only people who came ended up being Me, Jessica and Amy. Amy has something wrong with her knee, so Jessica and I were the only ones that made it up the waterfall after we left the cement path.

The sign is pretty hard to read, but it says to not climb past it:

When we got back from that, it was the entire Heritage Halls Halloween party, so of course we had the best costumes there. Jacob and I were the 1920's Gangsters, and Alex was our pilot/hitman.

When we arrived, our group was completed.

We came home with 12 pizzas and a box of doughnuts, enough to last... maybe 2 days.

Homecoming!

So this week was BYU's homecoming, and with that comes a lot of great fun, and a lot of excuses to not study.

The first cam on Wednesday with "True Blue Football" which actually doesn't involve that much football, mostly just a feild full of blue foam.

Thursday night I went to the Homecoming Spectacular with 4 girls. (It sounds cooler if I just leave off the part about them having an extra ticket) It was really cool to see a lot of BYU's performing groups, including the men's chorus with Jacob and Faldee Raldee.

Friday night was an Organ Recital that I needed to go to for my Music class. Megan needed to go to, so we were planning to go to panda express before, and just call that Homecoming since the dances were all lots of money. The line was pretty long, so we went over to the malt shoppe, where the line was shorter, but after we ordered we had to wait much longer for our food. We ended up being too late to the recital, so instead we just finished our shakes at home.

Later that night we found ourselves with a big group of people over at their apartment not really doing anything. Then Jacob and I saw a perfect example of when 2 girls think they should document a moment by shoving their heads together, making some smoochie or smiley face, sticking a camera out in front of them and taking a really bad picture. This is what we did to make fun of them a little bit.

The next morning, Emily was in town with her and Megan's moms, so like wonderful moms, they took us out to breakfast at a really good bakery place called kneaders. Probably the best french toast I've ever had.

That evening the football game was freezing, and the team didn't play the best... again. BUT there was a really cool sunset, and we still won, and we still have the longest winning streak in the nation by a lot. (So Tyler, you can't even talk about BSU's team compared to ours)
