The one with baby animals

Yesterday we found out that our goat, Starlord, is actually a Star-LADY! :) I got a text from my mom early in the morning, and I can't help but share the conversation that took place.


And literally the day before when we were up there visiting I said to Blake "Oh man that goat is getting sooo fat!" haha :) but seriously guys, this baby goat is SO DANG CUTE!


It's so small! I love it so much!! The horse standing in the left of this picture is our family's horse, Charlie Brown, which we are also not sure if it is a boy or a girl haha we have a problem.


Here is the baby goat meeting our puppy sophie. 


Both baby animals were confused haha


Look at those tiny little feet! Also I am weirdly happy that this goat has ears because her mom randomly doesn't have ears which still really freaks me out

What do y'all think is a good name for her? We were thinking of keeping with the Guardians of the Galaxy theme and naming her Rocket, but we are still deciding! 


Also, when I was feeding the goat and horse, I couldn't find the baby goat and after freaking out and looking for like ten minutes I finally found her in the feeding bucket! :)


Well, wish me good luck on my finals tomorrow, because instead of studying I chased around a baby goat all day! :)

The best moments :)

You know those times when something not very funny happened, but for some reason it's hilarious and you cannot stop laughing until tears and mascara are streaming down your face and your side kills and you're doing this really ugly gasping breathing thing but you CANNOT. STOP. LAUGHING. 

That happened to me this morning, and seriously, those moments are the ones you have to treasure.

A small update on our lives, Blake and I finally sold our housing contract (phew!) now we just have to pack. Unfortunately, this upcoming week is my finals week, so I guess I'll be studying with some packing/cleaning breaks in between haha. Wish me luck! :)


Have a great rest of your weekend :) I love you guys!

What is my generation?

Do you guys ever do that thing where you hit a random letter on the keyboard and you see what youtube/google/anything comes up with? No? Just me? Well, turns out you can find out quite a lot about what people are interested that way, and frankly, it's extremely entertaining! :)

I figure the people who spend the most time on the internet are people around my age, and I'm a little embarrassed to say I don't understand most of the stuff that is on here! I do get some of the internet trends (purple hair? All for it!!) but some are just too ridiculous not to share. Here are a few of the weirdest, most amazing things I could find out there. 

1. My favorite FAVORITE thing on youtube now is the Little Einsteins Theme song remix by Trap Music, probably because I babysat A LOT when this show was popular, and I shamelessly admit I've seen this show quite a few times. Actually, I would say this is one of the more bearable children's shows haha. 

2. So this next video was shown to me at work, and at first I was really weirded out. Still kinda am haha, but it's mesmerizing, artistic, and surprisingly well done :) Also, if you were a fan of the show Even Stevens, probably don't watch this, it will ruin your view of Shia LaBeouf and probably give you nightmares :)

3.  This is a thing on the internet. Everyone goes to Google for the deep questions of life haha.

4. My husband shared this earlier on Facebook, and many of you have probably seen it, but we LOVE Star Wars so we LOVE this video of babies reacting to the new Star Wars trailer. It's basically the best thing on the internet :)

5. Nutella. Nutella everything. 




So, what do you guys think? :) Also purple hair is still cool right?? Have a great rest of the week guys!

Our First Home :)

Hey guys! Recently Blake and I got some exciting news, we found out we are interning in Salt Lake! :) We are so excited and so grateful to have an internship! But since we found out so late in the semester, we need to sell our place ASAP, so if you know anyone who is looking point them in our direction please! I took some pictures of our place, and just thinking about leaving made me start to tear up a bit. I'm a baby ;) Blake and I have lived here since we were married a year ago, and we have been through so much together since then! So, mostly for me, I'm putting the pictures on my blog. I know they are lame! It was funny, our house is never this clean (it's not even that clean in the pics haha!), and before every picture I was moving stuff into the other room, only to move it back to photograph that room haha! Finals has done a number on our cleanliness!


Our awesome front room where many Netflix marathons took place. In the first months of our marriage we tried to play video games together, but I was too competitive at Mario, so we had to take a break from that 


I don't know why it's such a girly thing to have throw pillows (they are so comfy!) After one year of marriage I only got Blake to cave into letting me buy two :) I'll have to work on that! 


I can just see my mom cringing at this, the sheet isn't pulled tight across the bed! Sorry mom, I had to mess it up to get a good picture of the bathroom, and lacked the foresight to take the bedroom pic first and motivation to fix it after ;) LOVE YOU MOM!!

 Probably someday we will look back and wonder how our lives ever fit into such a tiny apartment, but it's been perfect for us this past year. While I am sad to leave our first place, I know that we are moving on to better things. And if Target wall decal stickers have taught me anything, it's that home is when you are with the people you love :)



Also sorry for not posting a lot these past few weeks, finals are coming up and school has been CRAZY!! But thank you for your support, I really appreciate it. I'll post more in the future! Have a great week!!

Last day of Field

Today was my last day of field this semester. For those of you who don't know, field is where Elementary Ed. students go and pretend to be teachers for a few weeks. It's crazy and stressful, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. I am so sad it's over because this semester's field was so fun and rewarding, and the kids were all adorable! I wrote down a few things I wanted to remember, and I wanted to share the most hilarious entries with you guys! Enjoy! 

3/11/15
The students were cleaning out their desks today. My job was to go around and make sure students were ACTUALLY cleaning, not just making a huge mess haha. So I get to this little boy's desk, and this kid is hilarious, he is always cracking jokes. He pulls out all his notebooks and papers, and I see three pictures fall on the ground. I picked them up and they're all different pictures of Miss Utah. The kid just looks at me and, completely straight faced, says: "She's my girl" I burst out laughing! Apparently Miss Utah visited the school and all the kids got flyers with her pagent pics on them, but this little boy decided to keep a few for his desk! I still laugh about it!

3/25/15
The students are working on mystery stories, and they each have to come up with a title for their story. I was helping a girl color her cover page when I asked her what her title was. She didn't have one yet and she needed help coming up with one. I asked her what her story was about. Apparently, in her story the bad guy wears all black, so she blurts out really loud "THE MYSTERY OF THE BLACK MAN!!" right as the principal walked past our classroom. Some of the things students say :) haha

4/1/15
One student walks up to me and says very loudly "You're shoes are untied!" He then looks down and realizes I'm wearing boots, and then becomes very flustered and runs away :) Kids are so funny on April fools day!

4/3/15
We are reading the story Castle in the Attic and many of the characters shrink in size so they can fit into a toy castle. Trying to get the kids to think about the story and make connections, I ask them what they would do if they were the size of their pinky finger. One student looks up and says, "I would live in a gingerbread house in the forest. That way when kids comes to my candy house, I can eat them." It took me a full minute to recover from that one :)

Also, one night I was trying to plan a lesson plan, but stumbled across my new favorite memes :) These are some of the best!
