Busy Beaver

Sorry no pictures
My mom, and some others keep bugging me about posting! I know, I know! I REALLY need to get with it, but despite what everyone else may think, I have a busy life! Letting guys take me out on dates is NOT always fun and games! Haha just kidding! =) But really....
Anyway, I work two jobs, and barely have enough time to have a fun life. So.. the blogging world is not on the priority list. Sorry ladies!
To give you an update though.. my amazing married couple of roommates..(Nicole and Chase) are moving back to the sweet town of Showlow. Nicole is going to be doing Massage Therapy. Nicole found out that it was going to turn out to be like $8,000 cheaper than here in Mesa. So.. out into the streets me and Cole go! haha just kidding.
I actually was offered to live in my cousins' Brigg and Kami's rental house down here when i was first thinking about moving, but when I moved down there was no room. But now there is room! So that is where I'll be living in January. One of my cousins (Barry Brown) His friend had a roommate move out just recently so that is where he is going to be living. No worries folks.. He's not a complete stranger to him. Cole knows him from the singles ward and stuff, and he's way cool... I acutally have a date with him this next week! ha..
For those of you interested..
I went on a date with my cousin's wife's cousin. haha that's kinda confusing.. but his name is Rex Willis. He's way cool, and way cute! haha if you want details let me know, and i'll tell you about it!
That is pretty much my life right now! I'll post later about my favorite holiday..Thanksgiving!! Well.. one of my favorites.. definitely on the top 3! =)

Update

Ok I know I haven't like really blogged in a long time, and I am so bored today, so I decided to write about some happenings that have happened recently. Some good and some bad.
Things in Mesa are good. I really do love it down there now! It's so different than living in Cottonwood! I didn't really notice the difference until about a week ago. haha I've lived there for 5 months now. I'm not really observant.

Anyway, I love it! Except my cousin Chelsea moved back home! :( I was living with her and she left me stranded in the big city all by myself!! :( The night before she was going home she slept in my bed, and we took some crazy pictures!
We started playing wiggles, then we uped our game and played Ultimate Wiggles!
You yell out an animal right before you take the picture and try and be that animal! It's fun. Here are some pictures. It's been awhile since I looked at these and I can't Quite remember which animal we were trying to be in some of these. So.. see if you can guess! haha
WARNING: These pictures contain some not so quite "pretty" faces of myself. I promise you I do not look like this on a daily basis. I was just caught on an off day!

In this one I'm almost positive we were trying to be either, A)A Tiger, B) A Lion, or C) A bear.

Yup. We were trying to be a Giraffe. Well... at least I was!



In these last 3 we were just playing wiggles. We know. We know. We're pro.
Can you do better?! Show me! I'd love to see.
P.S. Alicia, you still have YET to show me some of your's and Dan's faces!!

Moving on..
I have the opportunity of working for my cousin Natalie Witcher-used to be Taylor.
Her and her Hubby manage a pest control business out of their home. And I go over and help with her kiddies a lot. Once they're down for their nap, I do office stuff for her.
I love it! Her boys are seriously SO cute. They get pretty crazy sometimes, but they're so cute!
This last week When I worked for her I took them to the park like every other day.
Here are some pictures of that.
I need to take more pictures of them! They crack me up sometimes and do the funniest stuff. I forget sometimes that I have a camera when I'm over there so these are like all the pictures I have of them. Sad. I know.



I put Austin in a box thing one day, and he loved it. This picture doesn't show it though. haha
This is Austin! Austina for short. haha oh he's just SO cute! He is seriously THE NICEST baby EVER! He does like to be held and played with alot, so if you can't do that becuase you are busy with the other boys, you can just put him to bed, and he'll sleep for like a half hour, hour at the longest! It's so nice!
Just for future reference: I recently taught him how to say hi! I just love his chubby cheeks and big brown eyes!! =)


This is Crusty Lu-casa. Lucas is SO sweet when his brother Ethan isn't around. haha Ethan brings out his "wild side" and together they are crazy! He's Ethan's sidekick for sure!
I LOVE how he calles me Jenner-Poop-A-Nenner! His mom taught him this, and ever since then he's called me everyday! I love it! (My Uncle Glenn-Nat's dad has called me Jenner-Penner-Popp-A-Nenner ever since I was little)
If you ask Lucas to do anything for you..he will! He is SO SO SO sweet! He is so funny. Sometimes he'll cry for no reason, and you ask why, and he'll say, "I don't know." But after you ask him that he'll stop.
Lucas loves to pretend to be animals! Especially a sharp tooth!(a T-Rex)He reminds me of how my brother Cole was when he was little. (refer to post about Cole in an earlier post).
The other day at the park he sat down by me and asked, "Hey Jenner-Poop-A-Nenner, how is your day today?" He is so cute! I love his tiny baby voice! He calls himself a baby and it's very true. He is! haha


Ethan is the one in the blue shirt. He wouldn't let me take a picture of him that day. Which is weird cause whenever I take my camera out-not very often obviously, but he usually loves it.
Ehan is definitely the big brother! He bosses Lucas around and Lucas does whatever Ethan is doing, or asks him to do.
He has the biggest, blue eyes that will make your heeart melt! it is very hard to get mad at those baby blues! He is very stubborn, and wants his way all the time! He is also VERY sweet! He loves to give Austin, and his cousin Sexy Lexi-Jill's baby, hugs and kisses all the time!
He loves to pretend to be animals like Lucas too.
He is definitely going to be a heartbreaker when he gets older! He's so handsome!
I'll have to get a picture of those big blue eyes! =)

They just wanted to play in the dirt the whole time! There really was a play ground and stuff. These are the only ones I got of them though.

Another big happening that happened...
Today I got my bangs cut, and I don't know how I like them wtih my short hair. I feel like I look like an egyptian. haha oh well...

Why am I Voting Democrat?

Ok I hope you all know that I really didn't vote Democrat..(I DID get to vote this year! Crazyy!) BUT I was reading this and it made me laugh.. I thought, considering the stupidity of America yesterday that we could all use a good laugh. :) So if you want a good laugh-read on!

Why I'm Voting Democrat
Any questions?

I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America .

I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $5 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America .

I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could. Redistribution of the wealth is a good thing.

I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq , I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country. We'll just sit down and talk to them.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe people who can't tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar ice caps will disappear in ten years if I don't start riding a bicycle, build a windmill and inflate my tires to proper levels.

I'm voting Democrat because it's alright to kill millions of babies as long as we keep violent, convicted murderers on death row alive for 20 years or commute their sentences to be rehabilitated into society.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses in America should not be allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even, that's all they need, and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe guns, and not the people misusing them, are the cause of crimes and killings. Baseball bats and umbrellas may need to be outlawed too.

I'm voting Democrat because when someone with a weapon threatens my family or me, I know the government can respond faster through a call to 911 than I can with a gun in my hand. I can talk to them while waiting on the police.

I'm voting Democrat because oil companies' 10 cents profit on a gallon of gas are obscene, but government taxes of 27 cents on the same gallon of gas are just fine as a means for redistribution of the wealth.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four elitist liberals should rewrite the Constitution every few months to suit some fringe element that could never get their agenda past voters. Washington needs to consult Hollywood to determine the exact meaning of the Constitution.

I'm voting Democrat because illegal aliens are not criminals, are not sucking up resources through government aid, hospital services, education, or social services, but are just people trying to make a better life by coming to America illegally. We can't blame them for that, can we? We need to have more tolerance of those illegal aliens who are forced to commit crimes in this county too.

I'm voting Democrat because I can now marry whatever I want, so I've decided to marry my Prius Hybrid.

I'm voting Democrat because Obama's past association with Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, ACORN, and Tony Resco are just incidents of his youth that require complete understanding by all people.

Funny eh?
I thought so.. anyway hope it made you laught. It sure did me!

Reunited, And It Feels SO Good!

Elder Cole Taylor is FINALLY home!!

Yes. The day has already come and gone. Cole finally returned home from his mission!!

On Thursday September 18th my family, more family, and more family met at the airport to pick up Cole.

We were the first ones there naturally, so when another missionaries family showed up and stood infront of us, we were not very happy! (the same family whose son left with Cole! Crazy huh?!)

My dad was the look out guy. Every 10 seconds he'd say, "there he is!" He's such a trixter sometimes.. although, I think he really thought it could have been him! haha

When he finally did see him my mom ran...seriously ran up to the front of the crowd and stood there with open arms. I wish we could have gotten a picture of her, cause when I saw her RUN to the front I couldn't help but laugh. :] Good thing Jill was on top of it, and video'd everything! Too bad I don't have that footage...

Mom anxiously waiting for Cole. BEFORE the crazy happenings. Check out the look on her face! Priceless. :)

I couldn't see over the family who rudely made there way infront of us. So I had no choice but to resort to this. :)

So Cole finally showed up! He was THE LAST one off the plane. He said he would have planned it, but he didn't have to because all the Elders sat in the very back of the plane anyways. What a punk.

Look at that face!!

Crowding him. Check out Jill with the camera!

When he was in clear view our whole family--lots of extended family too--you can imagine how many were there--we all followed mom's excited reaction and ran to the front, blocking the view for the other rude Elder's family. My cousin heard one of the Elders say, "Wow I guess my family didn't even show up." Because he couldn't see through the huge crowd of my family. haha Which I find odd.. ;] Oops... Poor missionary!

First one there! I'm telling ya... she BOOKED it!

To no one's surprise I bawled like a baby as soon as I saw his face! (I am blessed with one of my mom's talents-cry on demand). All night you could find me standing RIGHT next to him! In fact, I kept touching him on his face, and arm. I just couldn't believe he was HOME! I had to make sure of it, and touching him was reasurring. haha

I finally got my hug!

Like two nights before he got home I had a dream that I was late getting to the airport, and when I finally made it there I missed him coming out. And when I did get to see him he wanted nothing to do with me! :[ I was so sad in my dream! I cried.. not for real, but almost!

This look on my face was the one I wore all night, and all day the next day!

It has been 5 days, and I am LOVING it! I have my best friend back. :] Although, he is definitely on a weird streak, he is still the same Cole. Just quieter and sweeter! Definite score with the latter!! He does whatever I want him to do! Still in the service mode. EXAMPLE: I called him up to my room this morning to kill a spider on my door, and it two seconds flat he was up there killing the ugly demon! What a hero! I also asked to borrow his car because mine was in the shop getting the tires rotated, and he of course said yes! What a good missionary! :] I have yet to try bigger, and better "acts of service" for him! Hey take advantage of it while I can right? :]

He's just so handsome!

He had a date tonight, break him in early I guess. The girl is from Flag, and way cute! So exciting! He said he was REALLY nervous about it. I told him to just be himself, and to try and not be too weird. I also told him that it was ok if he WAS weird because he could play the "I'm weird because I just got back from my mission" card for awhile.

For those of you who are wondering...He DOES have an English accent! And it IS getting very old super FAST! I always just immitate him when he asks a question, or says something that sounds a bit TOO british. It doesn't even fase him! Which makes me mad, because I am TRYING to bug him! haha The day he got back he told us in his cute (it was cute at the time) British accent, "I have to use the toilet." HELLOO it's called the bathroom! What a goober. He also asked me,"Hey Jen, what are those things called that mums push their babies in?" I sweetly replied in my best immitation accent, "those are called strollers Elda." haha Oh joy... I love him dearly! :]

I'm sure there will be more crazy, annoying, funny, things he says and I most likely will post about them.. so stay tuned!
Anyway, It's going to be a sad departure when I have to go back to reality-tomorrow. :[ I'll see him this weekend. He said he's going down to my neck of the wood. So that's cool. I love him so much and I'm so happy he is FINALLY home!!

Have any cute, cool, fun girls, who LOVE an English accent? Send them this way! Cole is probably looking for a date or two now! :]

***Thanks for all the pictures Amber!!

Look Alike...??

When I had my long hair I constantly got comments on how I looked like Rachel Bilson.

In 2005 I went to EFY and that was when the show The O.C. was way popular, so everyone just called me Summer the whole time, and I'd respond haha (Rachel Bilson played Summer in that show). I actually had a few EFYers want pictures with me so they could tell their friends they "met" Rachel Bilson. Kinda crazy I know.

Recently I went to the store Buckle, and the girl picking my jeans and helping me out said I looked like Summer off the O.C. That has happend 2, or 3 times going in there to buy jeans.

Then... just today I got a message on my facebook from a total stranger and it said, "Okay I don't know who you are... but you look like Rachel Bilson..okay bye". Weird..

So I just wanted to see what everyone else thought.

Me...
Rachel...
