Mr. Dart Pagent 2011!!

Last night was Davis Highs Mr. Dart Pageant. Spencer was chosen to be in it and represent Davis Pride. We were just so excited that he was going to be in it and how much fun he was going to have. He had been working on his talent all week and he got an escort (Chloe) and my mom bought him a new spiffy shirt. We were all excited.


We got there early to get a good seat. We got out tickets and Voted for Spencer. We found some seats and just waited for all the excitement. The first thing that they to is the "Best Leg" Contest.




Then after that was a group dance number. Spencer was the best dancer on stage :) (Video to come or look on Facebook)


Then they did a short introduction of each contestant. Spencer did the Carlton dance. :) He does it so well. Love it!


Then they moved into the Talent portion. Now some of them were impressive and some were so painful. There were two Spencer’s and when the other Spencer was getting ready to do his talent they switched the microphones by accident and My Spencer was Goofing off with his song and we could hear it and it did not sound so good. But they quickly got it fixed and My Spencer recovered nicely in his performance.


Spencer and Nils preformed for his talent. Nils played the guitar and Spencer sang. He sang "the itsy bitsy spider and popcorn popping" by John Bytheway. It was really good and super cute. Nils did a great job playing and I am pretty sure half of the screams from the audience was for Nils! My favorite was the girl in front of us when she saw Nils screamed "he's from Sweden" I laughed so hard. (If you listen carefully to the video you can hear it too) (To be posted soon or watch on Facebook)


Then came the "Evening Wear and question portion" Spencer and Chloe looked so awesome! He answered his question with ease, eloquence, and a sense of humor. He really answered the best!


Next and Last was the announcement of who won! There were 4 people to win. Mr. Congeniality (most votes with tickets there) 2nd attendant, 1st attendant, and Mr. Dart. They each won some sort of a prize with tickets to Boondocks, and other items. As they were announcing it was fun to see who won. In all honesty we were not expecting Spencer to win. We were just excited for him to be in it. We knew that he was awesome enough to win but ya know. So we were Super Surprised when they announced the Winner was SPENCER JONES!!! Yeah! (You can see my excitement in the video when I start jumping and screaming and it goes all over the place!)

Flat Tire

My front driver side tire over the past few months started looking low and last Saturday I went and put some air in it and then on Monday when I was on my way home from the gym I noticed it was low again. So i went back to the gas station and filled it up. I did not drive on it much and then yesterday I went outside to get into my car to run some errons and go and get my tire fixed... it was FLAT!

Now I know the basics of changing a tire but the idea of using the jack to lift the car scares me. I don't want to put it in the wrong place and have it fall or make the car tip over or something like that. So i called my cousin Ryan to see if he could help me. he was working and said it would be about 20 min. so I decided that i would just get things ready for him. I moved the stuff out of the trunk so i could get to the spare, I had to call DJ to figure out how to get the gold part off to get to the lug nuts. he told me and I went up and got my tools to get my hex thing to get it out. at this point my two roommates Emma and Brooke came out to help me. so the three of us are working on this. We get the Lug wrench and try to take the lug nuts off but realize that it does not fit. so we start looking at my tools to see if anything fit to take it off. after a few tries and failing my phone rings and it is DJ.. He asked "Why do you need to take that off?" I told him that I had a flat and needed to put on the spare. He then proceeded to tell me that I had special lug nuts that had a special thing to take them off and that it was in my glove box. I got it out and Brooke started to take them off but they were on there really good so she was jumping on it to loosen them it was funny. In the mean time Emma was reading the manual on where to place the jack (brave girl) we get it up and start to change it when some of my guy neighbors come out and ask us what we were doing. they start laughing and then offer to help us finish.

After the spare was on I went to Big O and they fixed my tire and they did not even charge me. :)

I really wish I had Video of all of this going down it was really funny:) But it makes a great memory.

Spring Cleaning

On Monday the First Day of Spring, It was not spring weather so I could not go out and play but I was lucky and my Mom came up to Logan with Skyler, Keyan and Jarin.

Mom dropped the boys off at Brooke's to play for a little bit and then we went shopping. Mom got a really cute dresser stand for her TV at DI for only 12 dollars. It is so so cute! Then she got me a mat for a picture that i have been wanting to frame. It looks awesome!

then we went back to my apartment and we started Spring Cleaning. I have been wanting to organize my room and get all the junk that has been piling up from my moves and living in Logan. Mom is super wonderful at throwing things away and organizing. so we spent a few hrs doing that.

It looks so so super nice! It is amazing! I am so lucky to have her be willing to help me. I was even luckier that we ran out of time and she could not touch my clothes.:)

Then we went to lunch and talked and ate. it was super fun. :)

I am excited for spring... I just wish the weather was better :)

Happy Spring!

Happy St. Patricks Day!


Yeah! Happy St. Patricks Day!!!


So I really like this holiday. I think that it is super fun. My mom always made it a big deal and I remember in school it was a big thing also.


In the mornings we would have green waffles or pancakes and we would all wear green so we did not get pinched and then mom always made green chicken pot pie with green mashed potatoes and a green salad. But NO green Milk!


I remember as a kindergartner when Mrs. Olsen had green feet and the leperchaun came and left us a present. It was so great. there is something fun about finding gold and a tiny leprechaun.


Today I miss being a kid and feeling all the magic of this day. but I made myself green waffles and I made green cupcakes for work. :)
I hope everyone's day is filled with luck!!

Random blogings

OK So I have not blogged for a while but I am alive..! :) I have been working 40 hrs the past few weeks. :) I really don't mind working that much but it just does not leave much time for interesting things to blog about.

Spring break was last week for USU. It snowed on Monday but the rest of the week was nice. I was the only one in my apartment. :) it was great cause i could clean it and it stayed clean :) I am so so excited for spring to come. I love the spring! it is one of my favorite seasons. I love all the new flowers coming up and the warm after the cold cold winter and the excitement of everyone.

Saturday was a great day! DJ was up here and I was able to go and see my neighbor Hannah at her gymnastic event up at usu. She did SO SO wonderful! I was amazed.

Then Chelsey and her family were up and I got to play with them. OH I love her so much and It was so so nice to be able to play. I love her Family and they are so so wonderful. I feel so loved when i am with them. we just chilled but it was the most wonderful thing ever.

I also was able to run to the store and get errons done... it was so wonderful. :)

I hope more fun things to come....

Genuine Ken




I have come to really like this show. I watch it on Hulu. I don't know if it is on regular TV. I started watching it one because I was board and two because it looked interesting. I can admit it I do like the reality show like the Bachelor but I am just not into all the drama that goes with it. most of the time i just want to slap one of them but it is just embarrassing. But Genuine Ken is not like that. The guy just compete against each other doing things that help them to be an all around guy and that almost perfect boyfriend. :)


There is only one episode left and it is next week. I highly suggest that you get on hulu and watch all of them. Seriously I laugh through most of them. Plus some of them are cute.

My favorite GK is Chirs. Oh man, I think he represents what my Gk would be. He is caring, cute, makes me laugh, sweet, likes pasta, and his favorite color is blue, plus he is an all around great guy. You can go the the genuine ken website and they have videos and profiles and he just fits my mold of an all American boyfriend. :)



See look how stink in cute he is.. ya got to love that smile. :)

It is down to him and one other guy.... I Hope he wins!

Eat Pray Love



Last Thursday I had a day off.. and I red boxed the movie Eat Pray Love. Oh man I loved it. I have for about 2-3 years now really wanted to travel to Italy. I want to eat pasta, and more pasta, and learn how to cook the food and just take in the culture. Well, this movie only made it worse. I SO WANT TO GO! But money does not grow on trees so it prob will not happen in the near future.

What I loved about the movie is that it spoke to me. It is about figuring out who you are and being ok with that and also finding balance in life. one of my favorite quotes from the movies is


"Balance is not letting anyone love you less than you love yourself."

Inspiring... It is true. I am trying to figure out how to balance my life at the moment.. I don't have much to balance, just work, eating, sleeping, trying to meet people, calling, fun, family and just good old me time. It is not really that much but it is over loading me at the moment. It seems when I try to balance it just all falls apart. But I am going to keep trying.

the next favorite line is..

"I am so sick of people telling me I need a man."


not that people are telling me that I need a man but sometimes it feels like it. I am actually ok with being single. Sometimes it would be nice to have somebody but oh well. I just loved that in the movie she learned to tell people that she did not need a man. it was awesome. She just learned to love her self and then once that happened she found her love.


So I recommend this movie and am warning you will prob want to go to Italy or India afterwords. :)
