March Madness!

In the past couple months I've had some really fun things going on that I thought I would share.

Some friends and I checked out the Toby Keith Bar in February.



We also went on a road trip to Monroe, Utah to welcome my friend, Natalie, back home from her mission.


But March is when things got really crazy...


I cut off like a foot of my hair!

Me and my ponytail! ha ha


School got really difficult because a bunch of my teachers wanted to pack in a lot before Spring Break, so after I survived all of that craziness, I spent my Spring Break relaxing in Utah! I got to spend a lot of time learning about my grandpa's life and hanging out with my siblings and neices and nephews in Utah. While I was there, I took some "make a silly face" pictures of my neices and nephews and was highly entertained by what they came up with! Can you guess who took the prize in this activity?! Yep... it was Lydia!




On March 23rd, I turned 21 (Woooo! 21! ha ha ha) and the day before, my friends and family got together to surprise me with a party that was so much fun! It included all of my favorite things- friends, family, and karaoke! And you can't have a 21st birthday party without a Disney Princesses pinata, right? Ü Thanks to everybody that made it the awesome surprise party that it was!


That weekend also brought a bunch of family together for Easter, which was a lot of fun as well. We had an easter egg hunt in the backyard for the little kids and because Jana and I are still the "little girls" we got to find easter bags out there too. We were warned that Randall and Ben hid ours in difficult places and went out to find them. As I walked out the back door, my easter bag fell onto the patio (sorry, Randall... It was a good idea to hide my bag on the roof, but the wind made it pretty easy for me to find. Ü) It took a little cooperation to get Jana's down from the wall, but she was able to knock it down with a rake as I caught it. Because gravity and the weather were on our side, it may have even been easier for both of us to retrieve our bags than for the boys to hide them in the first place! Ü

Overall, it was a super fun Easter and we really loved having family from Utah here to share it with us..


March gave me the chance to practice my new hobby of making random (and quite ghetto, if I do say so myself) cakes also. I made birthday cakes for Anna, Lydia, and Taryn. It was fun.

That pretty much sums up my March Madness! Thanks for all the fun experiences, everyone Ü

You are such a good little blogger Rachel! Let's try not to forget that I have the most blogging experience in the family and should outshine everyone though, okay? I especially like your pics of Lydia and your cool U smiley face that I have no idea how you do. Love ya!
