May // Random Shenanigans

Fun Fact: I have never won in a go-karting race. Ever. (unless you count Nintendo 64 #holla) Turns out i'm terrible. Not really at the driving part, just at the racing part of it. I'm too cautious. Like, if the go-kart had blinkers, I would use them. 

Needless to say, I lost against these 3. So I had to take their picture on the podium...#lame

After the go-karting date I got home, ran upstairs, grabbed my toothbrush, and headed straight to the hospital. My poor dude needed to have surgery to remove his giant kidney stone, and I wasn't about to stay home while he was staying the night at the hospital. So I came and joined he and my mom at the hospital at about 1 in the morning. Also, fun fact, hospital pull out beds are literally the worst. Also, unless you're under some serious medication, you're basically not going to get any sleep in the hospital. They freaking come into the room every 30 minutes during all hours of the night to do something! Poor Ethan didn't get any sleep!

We tried to sleep but that just didn't happen...

Ethan's surgery was a success and we were home from the hospital just hours before his 19th birthday!

Guys, Jennifer Pfaff is the cutest photographer around! How fun are these pictures?! She's the best! Here are some of my favorites. 

Later in the month Mom, Dad, and I flew to Utah for Ethan and Kassies wedding. It was so fun getting to hang out with old friends, and meet new friends!

How fun is this place?!

And wow, we all had way too much fun dancing at the wedding! I'll try and find some pics of our killa dance moves. 

We tried to take a cute pic with the sparklers and this was the best that we got...#WeTried

Did I stand in front of everyone in order to try and catch the bouquet? 

Yes. 

Did I end up catching it? 

No.

The night I flew back from Utah, a group of my friends and I went and helped set up for my friends engagements that was going down that night. We set off floating lanterns at sunset. It was a little windy, and we had to hide from the park security ranger person lady (because the park was closing), but it all worked out, and she said yes! I am so excited for Miranda and Jory! And then that following Monday, my friends Justin and Danielle got engaged! I love all of them! #SoManyEngagements #ItsFine #ImFine

The last Saturday of the month, I, and a couple other people ran the Froyo 5k! It was so fun! And hot. But I got a medal! #TurnsOutEverybodyGotAMedal #SupsAwk

Random Stuff:

GUYS HOW CUTE IS THIS?! I posted this picture for Mothers Day. This is my Mom and Michael, with my Great Grandma and Grandpa Allen, and I. 

I could spend all day at this place. 

Bored? Go listen to Elder Bednars talk from this past April General Conference. SO good!

August // That One Time I Turned 21

So I've been really terrible about blogging lately. I've decided to start posting once a month....we'll see how this goes :)

First week of August 

As a family, we decided to go up to Flagstaff for a night to get out of this stupid heat. Sorry in advanced for all the duck lip selfies #sorrynotsorry

Totally watched lightning strike inside of this little storm cloud thing #socool #thoughtweweregoingtodie

We're normal.

Arizona is actually really pretty

August 4th

This guy. Can't take him anywhere. Bless his heart. 

(he had no idea the saran wrap from Emmas birthday cake was stuck to his butt)

August 8th

Luke, Amy, Spencer, and I all went to dinner at BJ's for Spencers birthday, and then decided to go to Dave and Busters. $40 later, and we came out with 4 laffy taffys, and a Chinese finger trap thing. #holla

August 14th

Amy and I have been talking about these camo True Religions for months...so we finally went and tried them on. Turns out they were cuter on the hanger then on me. Needless to say I didn't buy them.

August 16th

Luke, Stacie, Spencer, and I all went go-karting. Turns out I'm terrible. I came in 12th place. AKA last. But it was a ton of fun!!

August 21

On Thursday a group of us went out to The Cheesecake Factory for my birthday! It was delicious! 

And how awesome is this?! Meaghan found me a Diet Coke with my name on it!! Best thing ever.

And shout out to all my cute friends and family for making my birthday so great! #thebest #friends #family #birthdaykiss #waitwhat

August 22

Emma, my mom, and I went to Fashion Square Mall to look for our outfits for the wedding. I about had a heart attack everytime we walked past a new store.

Later that night was Girls Night! Amy, Ali, Meaghan, Kennedie, and I  went to the movies and saw 'If I Stay'...it was terrible! 10/10 would not recommend. (actually everyone else loved it...i'm the only one who hated it) Save yourself and your money and don't go. #sorrynotsorry 

August 23

On Saturday, Mom, my very first roommate Linnea, and I went to go see Baby B and Aunt Emily in the hospital. He is such a little nugget!! I loved my snuggle time with him and can't wait for more!

August 29th

Emma's first Baseball game! That child was so excited to be there I thought she was going to pee her pants. Seriously. And to top it off, the Diamondbacks won!! Such a good game!

Row 10 baby!

I was trying to take a selfie to send on snapchat....so funny!

August, you did me well. Now on to September!

xo,

Mo
