Guilty.

You know those days when your grouchy, crabby and don't want anybody to trespass you? And finally someone gets the guts to tell you to basically knock it off and to be happy. I am guilty of that. So, in efforts to make myself feel better and be happy to see the good, I'm going to share happiness. 

Last week my whole family was in town for Christmas. It was fantastic. I loved it! Unfortunately, "real life" had to kick in and Jake and Kendra and the twins had to go back to Idaho. Very sad. But I had the greatest time with everyone in town. I love hearing my brothers big laughs. 

We also got to talk with Andrew and Adam. I cried. I miss them so much, but it's so great to hear their voices and see them. Those two phone calls (Christmas and Mothers Day) keep me going. Yes, we email them every week but it was so good to see their faces and their mouths move with them ACTUALLY TALKING. :D It was also fantastic for them to speak Spanish and I could understand the jist of what they were saying. It was so fun. But, Heavenly Father sent a trial my way. We got Adam's flight itinerary and he's actually coming home 3 days  later than what we had originally heard. I was heartbroken at first. I was a little upset too. Okay, a lot upset. But I guess God was REALLY trying to teach me something, because he reminded me that maybe he had to test me on this. And maybe it wasn't for me that he is doing this. Maybe Adam needs to influence or teach one more person within those three days. So I can't be selfish. I can only be happy. 

God wasn't kidding when he was testing me either. We went shopping approximately three times last week. Now if you know me, I don't love shopping. I enjoy it for a few stores then I'm done. You get what you need then you are out my friends. I'll go shopping, but I don't last long. But hey, I did get a few things I'll wear. Plus a BYU SHIRT! Score. 

~It's okay to admit you're guilty of a crabby mood. I do it too often. But God is good and forgives us. That makes life Full of Smiles. Now just to convince my family I am happy and not crazy. ;)~

Now for some pictures!

Just thought this was hysterical. 

Boom. Trivia Crack doesn't even know me. 

Story of my life. 

This kid has been my best friend for the past few weeks. No idea why. 

Swaggin'.

I LOVE UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS. They are the bestest. Kelci won the contest for ugliest sweater in the Christmas assembly. Atta girl, that's my ginger. 

Photo Cred for the picture above goes to Carly. (The one on the right.)

I can't make a snowflake. (Man that's 17 years in a row now.) So meet Albert the Fox. 

My whole life is lie. I NEED to try this. 

We (Ben) bought oysters! First time having them and they were delish! *Insert my mom going "yuck" or saying something against it here*

Sam is the Swagmaster. 

-Attempted-oyster selfie!

Sam sporting the latest sock style from our great-asian-grandma. 

Some of the cool stuffs I got for Christmas! Taken with my new phone! 

It says "Blow it all @ Disneyland! Love ya sis!" From the coolest brother Jake and sista Kendra. Them and Ben and Morgan have helped out tons with Disneyland. I'm so lucky to have them. Sad that they all can't live closer!

Skype selfie with Andrew. We are definitely siblings making the same face!

Sam being so happy.

The chubbert Lukey cuddling. 

Isn't he the cuuuuuuutest?

The signature "Luke stink face" basically the bestest. 

Sam sporting the Star Wars nerd look this season. 

Skyping Adam!

Presh. 

Sporting the Sam "happy" face. This kid really is happy 98% of the time. Just not when we are taking selfies. 

Ben is sporting Micah's new scarf...work it!

Kaz knows what's up when taking selfies!

Asian selfie!

Here is Sam painting his war marks on with a blue m&m.

Isn't this the cutest tiny human ever? Sophistication at it's finest. 

Just because this is the biggest our eyes have ever been.

My white friends though.

The dinosaur that lives in our backyard...just kidding it's our emus.

Utah Grizzlies hockey game! First hockey game ever...very interesting I tell ya. 

They are sort-of-really vicious. 

He went to Jared!

Temple Tuesday with the friends! Fantastic! Well worth waking up at 6:00am on a break!

So my hair basically froze...like stick straight. It was seriously the coolest thing ever. My hair has never dried so fast. I was disappointed when it went back to normal. Also, I guess this is my "no make-up challenge" for ya'll.

Our car of people. Bryan, Tanner, and I lived! Tanner's not that bad of a driver in the snow I guess, considering we lived and all.

So for New Year's Eve day, the temple is only open until noon. But the baptistry was only open till 10am (the time my family went) so I took pictures outside of the temple and waited in the waiting room. These are a couple pictures from today! Turned out better than I thought! 

I am so glad I went even if it was in the waiting room, Heavenly Father helped me out a lot for things I need to do to help my Young Women. God is Good my friends.
