Onions

I don't know if you remember my post about onion rings, but our household loves onions and garlic. Especially my roommate Annie. She doesn't hide the fact that she loves them so much. This became obvious on Friday when she came home with a thank you basket from some of her co-workers....Every type of onion they could find in the store...even frozen onions! You can't even see them all in this picture. I thought it was so funny! If anyone needs to borrow an onion, come on over to our place!

Needs vs Wants

At school on Friday, my student teacher was teaching about Needs vs Wants.

She was asking the students what some of her needs are.

One girl sighed and said, "Oh, I need Taylor Lautner."

I said, "I'm pretty sure that's a want."

She said, "No...I want Zak Efron, but I need Taylor Lautner."

WantNeed

The joys of teaching in Utah...

The following conversation took place on Monday (I just remembered it and started chuckling to myself)

Student: Sister Lacey, can you come help me?
Me: Sister Lacey? Sounds like you're talking to my mother
Student: *confused blank stare*
Student: Oh crap! Miss Lacey! Oh that's so embarrassing
Me: No, that's hilarious! Now, how can I help you?

L Letterpress Giveaway!

Last week, my friend Laura introduced me to this super nifty tool she likes to call (because that's what it's called) the L Letterpress. Laura works for the company that makes the letterpress and develops designs for it...and she's pretty much the most talented person I know!
(Laura, is it called the "L" after you? I sure hope so.)

I was thrilled this morning when I saw on Laura's blog (check it out...she has some fun stuff on there, and you can see more of what this letterpress can do) that they are giving an L Letterpress away! I want one...then I won't have to call Laura every night to see if I can come use it (tomorrow night, perhaps? I'll call you) :)

So go check out their blog to see what it's all about!

It's the final countdown

6
school days until
Christmas Break!!!
(but who's keeping track?)

Oh Babies!

Three of my friends have had babies in the past week and a half!
(let me know if you're freaked out that I posted pictures of your babies...I just think they're cute. I can remove them if you want me to) :)

It all started with little Rosalee...daughter of my friend Jackie. She came on November 28th.Next came little Ryan...son of my old roommate Megan. He came on December 5th.The newest baby is not-so-little (9 lbs 12 oz) Ben...son of my cousin Trent and his wife Cristi. He came TODAY (December 10th).It's been fun to watch the countdowns on their blogs...since they were all due within a few days of each other. Congratulations!!!

Welcome to the world! :)

Cougar Basketball

Over Thanksgiving break, I went to a BYU basketball game with my family. It was so fun to have everyone here for Thanksgiving! My friend Carie and her roommates sat by us, and Carie took these fun pictures.

Anna was cracking us all up with her funny facial expressions and awesome dance moves.Cherilyn's family. I had to post both of these pictures because of Emily's face (bottom right, in the pink). She does not look happy to be there...probably because she knew that in two minutes she would be sitting in the car for 11 hours on their all-night drive home.
