Hehe. Dru inspired me. So, I’m posting LOTS of photos from my phone.
It took me forever to fomat these. My phone’s camera isn’t as good as Dru’s, so my pictures aren’t absolutely spectacular, but I like them enough. Now, to know who some of these people are, you’re going to need to understand my family tree.
So, there are my parents, Jim and Linda. Their kids are Kent, Kathy, Melanie, and me. My parents are old and my siblings are all in their 30s with kids. Kathy and Melanie are married, Kathy to Paul, Melanie to Jake. Kent is divorced. They all have one girl and three boys. Kent’s kids are Kaitlyn, Mason, Zack, and Levi. Kathy’s kids are John Austin, Houston, Allie, and Jesse. Melanie’s kids are Carly, Mitchell, Stockton, and Hunter. I’ve been collecting pics of them on my phone, but I don’t have a picture of Kent, Melanie, Paul, Jake, Stockton, or Jesse. Sad sad story. But I’ll get there.
Oh, I’m making most of them thumbnails because it’s not as big that way, and because that’s generally how small they are anyway. They look better that way with the yucky resolution, lol.
I’m going alphabetical because that’s the way they appear when I go to add them. Easiest way.
Afton and me when she spen the night at my house one time.
I love black and white. We were wearing hats and taking lots of crazy pictures. In this one we were hiding.
Afton and I took this picture and sent it to Dru when we stayed at Afton’s house. It was supposed to be a sleepover for Afton, Dru, Britny and me, but then Dru and Britny couldn’t come!
So, we watched lots of Smallville and she taught me some dance moves.
Afton, sleeping in seminary about a year and a half ago. Porter and I were the only other ones there besides the teacher, and we were laughing out heads off as we took this picture. Oh, what I wouldn’t give to go back to that time. That was the best. Britny and Afton were my best friends, Porter and I were good friends, and the only people in my seminary class were the three of us. The only thing I would change about that time would be Dru. I’d definitly have to reconnect with her sooner and bring her into my tiny circle of best friends.
On our by week, Britny and I snagged Afton and we went to Mark’s Homecoming football game. Man I had a crush on that kid for a long time. I don’t anymore, but that was a fun day. We didn’t watch the game as much as we probably should have, but oh well. We had fun. Plus I was throwing Britny and Afton together intentionally, trying to get them to like each other so I could have both best friends at once. It worked, and Mark became my Homecoming date. Woo!
My Daddy and me. Everyone always tells me I look more like him than anyone else in the family. Well cool, because he’s a cutie! We have so much fun, my dad and me.
This is my niece Allie. She’s cute, but she’s also a stinker. LOUD child.
Aunt Judy! Last year around May she and I went to this college fair thing in Cisco and we were trying on sunglasses. I gave her these and told her they were popular and she should put them on. This is her “I’m popular” pose. Lol. I’ve never had bonding time with my aunt before, so it was fun.
Woo! Batman Bandaids. I took these to camp last year. I tried saving them but necessity won out and I was out of them by November.
Mmmmm Batman brownies. Momma made these for me. Right before the Dark Night premiere.
For Better or For Worse. Man, that comic is always in sync with me. The daughter April was born the same day as me, to old parents, and has old siblings!
She has brown hair and we act very alike. Her mom and my mom have the same birthdays, too. Isn’t that weird? Man I love that comic!
So out of the blue one day I decided I would wear my hair like this to school. After I got compliments from tons of people, when I got home, my mom made an ugly face and stated that I should never wear my hair like this ever again. Well. *sniff* I liked it. That’s my letter jacket, by the way.

Briternanny!!! This is Britny. My best friend since the 6th grade, but more so since this year. 1/4 of the Sisterhood of the traveling CDs. Has Dru told y’all about this sisterhood? It’s Afton, Dru, Britny and me. It’s a ton of fun. If she hasn’t, then we should make a post about it and put all the playlists in it. Right, Dru?
Lovely Carly. She’s my model all the time. That’s Melanie in the background.
One of my nephews had a birthday part at Chuck E Cheeses. Took me soooo many tickets to get those glasses.

Took this out the window on my way to Cisco with Dad one day. Same day I went with Judy, I think. It was my first time driving the whole time.
Hunter, my little blue-eyed cutie pie. He’s into music. If you play it anywhere near him, he freezes and has to find it so he can watch it. Here I was teaching the 1-yr-old how to conduct. And he could do it.
Taken after seminary one day. I do that a lot. Walk out of seminary, “OOOH! Oh my gosh, I have to speed home so I can take a picture of the SKY, of the SUNRISE! OH MY GOSH!” Yeah. All the time.
Porter and Chase made finger buddies in sunday school one day. It was hilarious. This was Porter’s. He used a gum wrapper for the tie.
A brand-new 5 dollar bill, a 5-yr-old 5 dollar bill, and a 5 dollar bill from the 50s. Incredible that I got all of these in change from the same cash register! Golly it was amazing. I still have the antique 5. I’m keeping it. Forever. Along with my 2 dollar bill.
Two can play this game, Jacob. I’m totally G!!! Wut! Took this at Jessica’s house one time after I stole Chris Diamond’s hat. Lol.
THIS is my house in Denton, Texas. You can’t really see much but that garage, but oh well.
Heh. Took this yesterday while waiting for Jacob’s mom to pick me up and take me to a first ward priest party. Wearing a new shirt.
I looooove that shirt. YES I was taking pictures of myself, overhead myspace pictures! …I was bored. And I happen to like this one.
This is My Werewolf. Dru took this picture and then sent it to me. He’s better looking without the hat and with his collar down. But does he listen to me? Nooooo.


Zis is John Austin. He’s so much fun. He’s the one I wrote “Someone Close to Me” about. He is awesome.
We all went out to eat at El Matador one day and John Austin made this “masterpiece” of peas on a fork and begged me to take a picture of it. Lol. It was very entertaining.

This guy dressed up as the Joker at the midnight release of The Dark Knight. That was so much fun. It was my first time going to a midnight showing. I went with Dru, Josh, and Kaitlyn. There could’ve been other people there, but I don’t remember them. I lent this guy my joker card from my airplane deck.
Katilyn and me waiting for The Dark Knight to begin in Movie Tavern. Katilyn is my niece and only 21 months younger than me. She is so much fun. I love her to death. You know what’s funny? I’m always saying people are so much fun, and most times its people in my family. My family is just really fun.

Kathyyyyy!!
She has a bad eye and we were playing around. She put that thing over her eye like a monocle and it actually helped her see. Bizarre.
Leaping Laurels! I took a picture of each girl jumping, printed them out, cut them out, then put them together like this and did stuff in the dark room. OH MY GOSH it took forever, but it was worth it. I need to scan the final product but my scanner isn’t working.
We are Dru, Alyssa, me, Jessica R., and Afton. Woo!
Levi

I tried out for Bronco Idol this year, a talent competition at my school. I sang “Love Story” by Talyor Swift. When I auditioned, I was thinking I’d wear this to perform, because it looks sort of princess-ish. However, I wasn’t chosen to perform. This was my prom dress from last year. I always said it was my Cinderella dress.

Mason. Man this kid is growing! He’s already had a girlfriend! He beat me to his first kiss! My 12-yr-old nephew had his first kiss before I did! Isn’t that nuts? I mean, I was 17 and all…

Mitchell. Man this kid is serious.
My parents. Mom’s obssessed with scarves.
Mom and me being silly on the way back from Tennessee.
Ocean’s 13, woo!
I took this and sent it to Jessica Messica. She loves this movie.
This was on the Orchestra bulletin board (yes I know I betrayed band) and I had to take a picture of it. It’s my background on my phone quite frequently.
Jacob and I saw this on our way out of blockbuster. I don’t know what year the mustang is, but I sure like it.
At Chistmas this year we came up with a new game for the grandkids: figure out who can play dead the longest.
Lol. Kept them quiet for three hours.
This… is Aquaman.
So Dr. Rembecki is the amazing pediatric pulmonologist who saved my life two years ago. His office is painted as if it were undersea. It is so cool! You get to be in different rooms when you go. The dolphin room, the killer whale room, the octopus room, the fishies room, the turtle room….
This is my 18-yr-old cousin that died in January. Her name was Sarah.
Took this of my jersey last year. I was #21 for soccer all four years
Porter climbing a light pole at church. It was nighttime, so the light was on. Therefore it was hard to get a picture. It was in December. We went to the Twilight premiere with Afton, Mckenna, Dru, Josh, and Britny, and when Edward said “Hold tight spider monkey,” and jumped out of the window and started climbing a tree, Porter said very loudly, “Who’s the spider monkey now?” to much laughter. When he climbed the pole, right as he got to the top, I yelled, “Who’s the spider monkey now?” and he laughed so hard he slid down the pole and almost hurt himself. LOL.
Best phonto I’ve ever taken. Sophomore year, in Biology. Right before I dissected it.
We get lots of sunflowers behind the fence.
I was cutting a watermelon and noticed the rind made a good frame for one’s face.
Ugliest. Shoes. Ever. Found them in Payless yesterday.
My favorite flower of the moment.

Wack Zack
LOL. Jessica and I dressed up at the Winchester brothers and redid this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHlXHBaC-Dg Lol. It was so much fun. We actually made the video, too. I can’t figure out how to get that on the computer, though.
In the process of finding the “Happy Holidays” video, I found this blooper video that had me laughing so hard I nearly died. Even if you’re not a fan of the show it’s hilarious, I promise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTVUb3HRSlA&feature=related
Anyway. Oh man this took forever. I did it while I did precal. I do two problems then I post a picture. So, now I’ve got some assignments done, but I still have so many more. Ugh. Wish me luck!
I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making it.
Oh, and note that there are no pictures of Dru or Jon because I already posted them.
