I should be doing homework BUT...

I decided that I'd rather update my blog. Since school is just about over (one more day to be exact) I thought I'd show you some of my favorite places to walk when I'm school.
#1
This is just a random hallway at UVU that eventually leads to the Institute. I love it because its SO random. Its long with no design but the walls are the neatest thing because they have lights in the weirdest places & I used to think for months that it was naturally lite. I was wrong. haha.

#2


The next place I love is the picture below, which just so happens to be the place that you enter as you exit the long hallway (the previous picture). It is a spiral staircase and do you what it reminds me of? The lighthouse in Pete's Dragon. I know, random BUT its so neat! The walls are all windows and the center of it is metal (as you can see). I love climbing this staircase so much. Its just fun.






Then the other day I was walking home from the bus stop & I saw these beautiful flowers at this park that I walk thru. It was just a nice way to end a day at school because it reminded me that summer is just around the corner. Plus it reminded me that spring is all about new beginnings and everything is fresh and new. I sure love spring and I love summer even more. Ah, its SO close I can smell it!

And a walk from the bus stop to my house wouldn't be complete without seeing cute signs on the sidewalk from a family that I love so very much. These messages just make me laugh.

















"You're my Charlie Brown"


I wasn't familiar with these term until two weeks ago when I attended my cousin, Ashley's wedding.
The day started out
something along these lines. (see photo on the left). Have you ever had gummy sharks? They're quite the catch (no pun intended) for $ .50. And then with gummy worms, peach rings, circus peanuts, etc. AND my family, a 4 hour road doesn't seem quite as long anymore.




My cousin Ashley is such an amazing girl. From as long as I can remember, she was always so kind, loving and one major thing that we have in common is that we both have red hair. (yes!)
Her and her husband are music majors and play SO extremely well together.

And this has got to be the cutest wedding cake topper I have ever seen (hence the title of these blog). It was so detailed you can't really tell from this photo but the dress matches Ashley's dress. It was adorable. And I think Jacob (my little cousin) found it adorable as well because before the reception, he stuck his finger in the side of the cake. I don't really blame him though because whelp it was one delicious cake. Props to Brolum's (a store that I wish we had here in utah...maybe one day).

And then during the reception I would occasionally peek into the nursery room and this is what I
discovered, granted Keaton caught me capturing this but hey its still cute & super precious! ( in case it doesn't load correctly, it is a video of Keaton and Jacob playing dinosaurs in the nursery.)
Then to top off the night of fun. Rowan had a "slight" accident and as a result had to wear Tiffany's coat. He looked like a total pimp and you could tell he was proud of it.
And out of no where he started to charge at Skyler and ram him in the thigh.
Skyler naturally played along but this picture above is priceless.
I wonder what Rowan was thinking at this exact moment because the look
in his face is so determined and focused. Oh I sure love my cousins. What cute kids. And lets not forget their parents. I really had such a fantastic time catching up with them. Even though most of them are older than me, they always make me feel included and loved. They are each such great examples and I wish we could all get together more often. But when we do get together, it makes it that much sweeter.

I almost forgot to mention that on Saturday we also celebrated Parker's B-day. He had an incredible Harry Potter cake from my Aunt Shelda and he was so thrilled to see it. His face was priceless when he first saw it, too bad I didn't capture that moment. Overall, this trip was so relaxing and there's nothing like spending time with family that you love.
