Measuring Up

If you're part of the family, you know that Gma Verla always measures the grandkids. Last night we had to keep the tradition going! For the record, i'm still an inch taller than Mady! 5'10" vs. 5'9". Believe it or not, Taryn even grew like a centimeter making her OVER 5 ft. yay taryn! And of course Ari is getting taller too. haha This is us in line to get measured...ya, it's a pretty attractive picture. haha

♥ San Diego!

We were supposed to go on our family vacation on Sunday night (then my dad got called as Stake President)...so we moved it to Wednesday (then Ari broke her arm tues. night and had surgery wed)...but we finally got off on Thursday!

We drove down to La Jolla on Thursday.
Mady & me walking to La Jolla beach


On Friday we went to SeaWorld and Coronado Island.
This is Ari at SeaWorld...lookin like she's having tons of fun!

These eels were creepy! pretty nasty looking and they would just float around. gross

We got to feed and pet dolphins :) Loved it.

We also saw a Shamu show, a dolphin show, seal/otter show, pet show, cirque de la mar show...lots of shows.

Hotel Del Coronado was awesome. We got there at sunset, so it was really pretty.



Saturday we drove to the San Diego temple and then to downtown San Diego where we hit up the USS Midway (aircraft carrier that my dad had to see) and a mall and drove through Balboa Park, then headed home.

It was a short vacation, but a fun one!

Oh Wait, it was a video....

Whenever I come across this video I just laugh and laugh. This was taken at Taylor's homecoming lunch at Cheesecake Factory. We asked the waiter to take a pic of the whole group...but it was on video. Don't you love it when that happens? haha



Everyone was so still...

Oh NO baby!

Ari broke her arm tonight! She's at the hospital and has to have surgery at 6:30 in the morning to get some pins put in to re-attach the bone. She's a trooper! Here's a pic my dad sent me... Get well baby!

o my goodness, o my goodness

On Saturday, I went to a JB/Honor Society/Jordin Sparks concert. It was AWESOME! (as expected) I went with Mady and my friend Kelsey. Sadly our picture w/ Honor Society hasn't been uploaded yet (cuz it's by Verizon) but soon it will be :) We spent all day in Vegas shopping and hunting JB down haha. Here's a few pics of the amazing-ness :)

Me infront of the Verizon bus. People all over the country have signed it.


ummm...lol, we snuck in the back lots and i took a pic of some of thier tour buses...this was right before we became good friends with a security guard :) We were talking to him and JB drove right by us. hahaha Big Rob was sitting right in the front. Best day ever!


Joe/Nick


Jordin Sparks (who is AMAZING live!)


Mady & Me


Honor Society (my new FAVORITE band! These guys are awesome!) It was so tight that we got to meet them backstage. Will definitely post that pic when i get it!

I won a flippin contest!

Isn't that awesome? I have never won any contest ever...and i guess i didn't win a contest, i was luckily randomly selected from everyone who entered. I get 2 meet/greet tickets to meet Honor Society. Ever heard of them? Well, I love them and i saw them in concert last Novemeber. Now they're opening a concert on Saturday (yes...another Jonas concert) and I GET TO MEET THEM :) soooo excited..partially cuz i actually won something! haha
so, to these guys...



Buckle Up...i'm gonna meet you :)
p.s. Michael, your leather jacket is a tad tight...

I finally met JB

I had the lucky opportunity to attend a musical performance by the Jonas Brothers where I was the star (as you can see) in thier new music video "Love Is On It's Way". . . . . :)



. . . . and me and mady were bored today.

My 19th birthday

For my 19th bday, we were all in Provo for the 4th of July. On Sunday we went to Provo canyon and ate cake and fooled around. Fun times :) p.s. we don't sport jonas tshirts every day of our lives...haha

Blowing out the candles!

4th of JULY :)

For the 4th of July, my family hit up Provo to catch the parade and Stadium of Fire :) It was a blast! Here are a few pics.

This is the fam at the Parade on morning of July 4.


Here's the Stadium of Fire before it started


YAY for Jonas Brothers :) haha. SheDaisy also performed.


The AMAZING fireworks display


STORY OF THE YEAR: when me, taryn, mady, ari & elli mulcock first arrived, there were a lot of girls crowded around a door, and so we asked them what was going on. They told us that JB was inside and they had to come out. We decided to go and buy shirts cuz the chances of us seeing them w/out being mobbed was pretty much impossible. While in line, all of a sudden all the girls start screaming...so naturally, we ran over to the commotion. Here walk out Big Rob (JB's body guard) and Papa Jonas. Little did we know that about 10 ft. behind us, JB was sneaking behind. Big Rob distracted the girls! Ofcourse my dad got a PERFECT view of JB...and all I saw was their voluptuous hair :) which...was even better in real life :D haha. But i got this awesome pic of Big Rob! haha.


JB definitely gets a 'THUMBS UP'


who said parents can't enjoy the JoBros? my dad was especially excited to see Big Rob perform 'Burnin Up'


oh ya!


This one's for the ladies... haha


It was a lot of fun! we couldn't get over the fact that my dad got a perfect view of the jobros as they were close enuf to stick thier # in my back pocket. ;) Dang Flabbit!
