Di-be-bi-dra

This is a blog just for Dedra. Dedra is my sister. I love her. She is a turd. She is a crazy awesome sewer. She has 4 kids. She has one husband... So maybe 5 kids... She is an awesome sister.

Some of my favorite times with her are from when I was younger and didn't know she hated me. We are 8 years apart and I thought we were the same age. :) She put up with me and I didn't even know she didn't want to.

I crashed her 18th birthday party. I thought I was one of the big kids. I had fun and didn't even know I wasn't invited.

We have had photo shoots at Costco (I am not sharing my tent!)

We have slumber parties (no I will not tuck you in.)

I talk to her all the time. We talk about almost everything you can talk about.



Things I learned from Dedra:
1. Eating beef jerky and listening to Reba count as excersizing.
2. Root Beer floats are good dinners
3. She should never eat garlic
4. Blankets are most fun when made after a week of being silly with your sister.
5. Casket rooms are fun to play hide and seek in.

Even though Mom isn't here to yell at me and tell me to get my head out of my butt. I have Dedra who tried hard. She's nice and listens to my crazy talk. Thanks Dedra. I love you.

My Life in the last 5 Months

A picture is worth a thousand words and so I thought I'd give you something to talk about! Yay Talking!!! I have to admit that I have been slacking in the taking pictures department... I am working on it. I have just been lazy I know... It also doesn't help that someone who's name wont be said (see Spencer, I can be nice!) doesn't like pictures so I tend to take less.


November...

  Me at Costco... I thought the tutu was cute. I think the one I made was better. This one fit better as a hat. 

 Happy Birthday to Derek! His birthday is the 11th. We all got together for dinner and cake at Sydni's house. Dan (the one in the green shirt) and I thought it would be funny to eat the middle out of the cake. HAHA That is Derek's favorite part. We are such nice friends. It was great to see the look on his face when he took the lid off the cake pan. HAHA!!!

 I planned this really fun date for Spencer and I. We had homemade stew. We raced slinkys down the stairs. We made soda fountains with Coke and Mentos. We ate pudding. It was like being 5 but better! We were older and could see how much fun it really is to do things like that! 

 Sophie Jane is in love with Spencer... I cant say I blame her. He is sorta Wonderful. I love when she gets mad at me for sitting next to him. Its my favorite. haha

 Dad came down for Thanksgiving. We played around at some stores. I think Dad needs one of these chairs for his living room. What do you think???

 Brittany needed a new picture for her parents house. I was so excited to have a photo shoot! It was really fun! We were silly and just had a blast! This isn't the one that she chose for her parents. I just liked this one better!

Sophie got caught getting the fruit snacks. haha. Best Picture EVER!!!

December...

 So Katie and I went to Walmart at midnight to get the Twilight movie Eclipse. They had this random question and answer thing about the movie. NOT THE BOOKS but the MOVIE. I happened to know the answer to one of the questions. It was silly but I won a prize... It was one of my finer moments. haha.

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DONNY OSMOND!!!!! I know I know.... SHUT UP!!!! 

 Happy Christmas to Spencer! I stole this great Idea from Dedra about Christmas. "Something they want. Something they need. Something hand made. Something to read. More presents doesn't make it more special" This was his something to read. I put together a book of sheet music. This way he has something to play other than the hymns. :)

He drew is 14 year old sister for the sibling gift exchange. He made her a scarf. It turned out really cute. I have a picture of him wearing it. I think I would get in major trouble if I'd posted it...

January...

 Dad posted this sign on the door at the Ranch. needless to say the kids were much better this year at keeping the door shut. :) 

 Kaylee and I. I'm sad how I've only been able to see her a few times in her life but I was so glad that she and I could be friends. She's such a sweet little girl. 

 I love games late at night! We tend to start playing by our own rules. Then things like this happen... haha! Yay Dedra! Games are more fun when playing with Dedra!

 I don't even remember what I was talking about but I'm sure Dedra thought it was necessary to make fun of me... She Usually thinks that I need teased in some way or another... This is just proof.

 

  We made Duct tape Scripture Cases! Regann Made a purse. It was really fun! We went through TONS of tape. 

February...

 The Dates on these pictures are wrong. haha

Here you will find Sophie Jane once again trying to steal my man! She thinks she is just so Clever! 

 Spencer Comes over for Breakfast a couple times a week. I cook, he takes me to work. It's a good arrangement. He was really late on Valentines Day. (I didn't know it was Valentines day. I am a bad person) I was in my room when he got to my house. He puts the flowers on the kitchen table like you see in the picture. Then he knocked on my door. We talked for a few minutes and I walked out to the kitchen. He said he was sorry for being late but he wanted to stop and get me flowers. He's so Sweet. He made my card too.

 I heart that the Ribbon is bent into hearts!

 Pretty, pretty flower!

 I heart him too!

 So we went to Washington for a family Party. Its been one year since Mom died. We stopped to see Heather. Her kids really like Spencer. I was glad for that. :)

 Courtney and Mikaela Like him the best. Court asked me if they could take a "Luke Picture" They did one like this with my friend Luke a couple years ago. They liked him too. Spencer had no Idea this was coming! It was great! Courtney wanted to take another one. I think she just wanted to kiss Spencer again! I don't blame her.

 Ah the family party. I have to say that Dedra, Ken and I are always the life of the Parties!

 The Men Folk went shooting. I came too. It was Ryan, Mayson, Harmon, Nolahn, Adam and Dad going. Spencer was invited too. 2 of my older brothers + Dad + 3 nephews + Spencer + guns... I've never really been that good at math but I knew that I was going on this trip!!! They all like Spencer. I was worried about that. I just know that some of my siblings can say some embarrassing things or just be turd heads. :) It was a fun little trip. :)

Spencer and I stayed at Dedra's house the last night before coming back to Utah. I tried to take his bed. This looks like a sweet picture. What you cant see is his other hand about to start tickling me to get me to move. I lost this fight and had to sleep on the couch...

March...  

I didn't really do much picture taking in the month of March. I think that there were only about 10 pictures for the whole month! Most of those 10 or so pictures were taken on the 30th because I let Spencer's little sister play with my camera!

 This is Spencer driving us to Church.

 I made him stand still so I could take this picture. He's so handsome in his suit!

This picture was taken by Spencer's sister. Thanks Hannah!

So this is my update as of now. I will work on taking better pictures and more of them. Until then I will just keep with the short random blurp blog posts I've been doing. Sorry for all the typos and miss spelled words. I love pictures!

10 Truths

10. I miss my Mom. She was some one I could talk to and get advice from. Most of the time she was crazy and I wouldn't listen but I still wish I could ask her things. My sisters are great but when they yell at me they giggle after... Mom didn't giggle... It's just not the same.

9. I live 1000 miles from my family. 2500 mikes fron one of my best friends. And in the next room is my roommate Brittany... She's a million miles away.

8. Dedra fires for no reason all the time! RUDE!

7. I go through almost 3000 texts a month. Most of them are between Spencer and I. Funny how I see him everyday and I text with him the most. Haha
6. The blankets on my bed were made special for me. Ryan and Rhonda made the bottom one for my when I was like 15 or so. The top one is my star blanket! Dedra made it for my 21st birthday. They are my mist favorite blankets.
5. I have over 200 pairs of socks. Non of them are white.
4. I have painted toe nails even though I don't like having them painted. They are bright red and sparkly. Just like my Mom's toes are. That way we match.
3. Spencer is hot. He is. I think I'll keep him.
2. I sometimes think I want to go back so school. I would love to get my instructor's license. I would love to teach people what I wish I would have known in beauty school. I'm not saying miss Anna did. Bad job... I'm just saying it's a good thing i pick up on things as easily as I do.
1. I love Spencer Hales. He's my favorite. I miss him when he's not around. I asked him to read this when I'm done writing it. He said he would. It's almost 2:30am. He's nice.

Thanks for staying up Spencer! Go to sleep! I love you.

Date Night

So at lunch today I was asked what Britt and I would be doing for date night. I didn't know. I thought about that while at work and when texting with Brittany we came up with nothing.

7:30 rolled around slowly but at the same time too fast because we still had no plan... Well we ended up having a lot of fun tonight.

Hair color - $12
Wax pot - $34
Tweezers - $6
Dinner - $25
Memories and laughs shared with a close friend - priceless

I heart date night.

Turbo Jam

Most people think that working out is good for them. I have a slightly different thought on the matter. When people start to exercise they start to shrivel away. They get smaller and smaller until there is nothing left!!! Don't get me wrong I like to be healthy but I'm scared that I'll disappear! I don't want to fade away into nothing.
So here's the plan. I'll exercise regularly but I'm doing to drink milkshakes rather than water! That way I'm working out with out fading out! It's perfect right!?

Oh Dedra! This is for you!

A Picture is worth a thousand words and there are 12 pictures here. I love you Dedra! Are you sure you still want me to blog??? Think about that and get back to me. :) HAHAHA!
