Roomates: Ashla and I

This semester is my second year of college.

It has been a blast so far. I am now roommates with my best friend, Ashla!

We have wonderful adventures and random fun times together, as you can tell and imagine!

She is a music major and I am an art major. So yes, we are pretty stressed out as are all college students I'm sure, but we still have fun! She practices her music with her little piano and does her vocal exercises and I practice my Spanish. So it makes for some interesting times:)

BFF's

Ashla LOVES her classes! She was beaming when she came back from the book store and found showed me her books. I just had to take a picture!

Wyatt's Birthday

Wyatt woke us all up at 7 in the morning so he could open his presents. He got chocolate mild straws from Marylynn. Mom gave him blue boots, black wranglers, and a fancy belt&buckle. Bryant gave his a ring pop and blue bubble gum.


Wyatt got to talk to Levi on the phone.
Anena came to the party via web cam. That was lots of fun! It was good to see her.

We could not forget the Spanking Machine.

Wyatt wanted a bus cake because that is his favorite part of school.

Wyatt's best buddy Nathan came over for the party along with all three of Wyatt's nephews: Jaxon, Chett and Gale. It was quite a roudy party:)

I-Night

I-Night

I- night is a big event that happens at the beginning of each semester at BYU-Idaho. There are tons of activities. Levi and I went with a small group of friends and we had a blast!

Some of the events we tried were: laser tag, rock climbing, balloon shaving, ball toss, frog jump, bungee run, wheel chair basketball, tug-a-war, dating game, comic frenzy, cherry/whip cream game, and probably more. We decided to pass on a few like sumo wrestling, bull ridding, and twirly dizzy getting rides.

The group we went with.

Levi, MaryLynn, Cami, Sydney and Mandee in the front.

Here we are!

This was an interesting one. They have a cherry and then squirt whipped cream over it and you have to dig for the cherry with your tongue. Then we had a race to see who could eat their whip cream the fasted. We all felt a little ill afterwards:)

Me and two of my roommates getting a little crazy while waiting in line for wheel chair basketball.

Wheel chair basketball. Levi doing some blocking.

Levi and I on the bungee run. It was well a little strenuous but fun. Levi beat me every time of course! I think I did a back flip thing once when the bungee pulled be back. It kinda hurt!

It was a I-night to remember!

A Birthday Wish for Wyatt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WYATT!

Have fun being 6!

Wish I could be there to help with your school bus cake, but can't wait to see pictures of it! I bet it will be awesome!

Love and miss you,

MaryLynn

We Made It to BYU-I

Hello Everybody!

This is MaryLynn. Greeting from Rexburg! Well, Levi and I are here (in Rexburg at the BYU-I that is)! It was a long drive but we are so excited to be back! It was wonderful when we saw the temple in view, I can't wait to go there. So after an 8+ hour drive, we dropped of the stuff at my apartment. My old roomate Mandee was there and it was great to see her again. We are rooming together along with Ashla and some other girls. Then we went to Levi's apartment and dropped of his stuff. Three of his roommates were there, they were all freshman. They seem nice so that is good for him. He said it was weirder to come back than the first time! It is so fun to have him here too. Heidi....next year! Ashla will be here tomorrow, I can't wait.

Then we ventured to the lovely local grocery store Brolums and gave one of Levi's roommates a ride too. Fun, fun, we bought food and such. Ya know stuff like Berry Colosal crunch. hum sounds like some good dinner with a little peanut butter on it. hehe. It is chilly here, but no snow yet...maybe tomorrow:) I am quite tired from staying up way late packing, so I don't think I will venture on anything too exciting tonight. It was fun talking with Mandee and catching up and making some fun plans for the semester.

I am having a goal to be more outgoing, social, and friendly. Hopefully having a year of college behind me...not being a freshman will help. I think Levi was a little sad that he wouldn't have Bryant pestering him that it was time to go to bed :) haha. Heidi can't wait tell you are here! Are you surviving the um brothers?

Well, I guess I should go unpack and such, and eat, and sleep. I am way tired!

Well, Love you all family and miss you.

Talk to you later. Post some pics with the sheep!

P.S. Wyatt, how are the straws?

Coming Soon....

Little Wonderous Wyatt goes to School

Wyatt's First Day of School

A little worried, but happy and excited too!

Wyatt started kindergarten a few weeks ago. It ended up that he started a week later than the high school. He was all ready to go when they did, but after waiting another week he told mom he wasn't so sure about it.

The first day mom stayed with him, maybe more for her comfort than for his. :) He has done just fine at school and mom has done okay home alone too. :) He has shown his artistic abilities and imagination. Everyday when asked how school was he says, "Great!" He is making new friends, but to his dismay has not yet learned how to read. How long does that take anyways?

His second day of school, getting on the bus.

When we asked him what his favorite part of school was, he exclaimed, "Riding the Bus!"
