Summer fun in Grandma Betty's pool.

Today is a very sad day for the old folks in Boise, Idaho. Nathan and Monica took their little boys and moved away, clear to Portland. Waaah, waaah! We miss them already! But, beware, we'll be out there soon to visit. Those little guys grow so fast! I can hardly wait to see them again. Love, Dawn

Today in my stage make-up class I got to play around with "glamorous make-up" styles and here's what I look like! I got some weird looks walking back to my dorm. My roomates and I are going to have so much fun this Halloween! Love, Lexi

Eliza, sister dear You've been there for me every year. Since we've met, we've been friends And even had split ends. Together we will always be. Your off on a mission, To show the world you can take on the competition. In Junior Miss you've succeeded, And you've never really needed me to wish you luck. I need to go to bed, Because something's not right in my head. This rhyming's really lame, I'll never do it again. But I just wanted to say that Eliza is the coolest 17 year old sister ever and I miss her a lot and I love her and I know she'll do great at Junior Miss because she's so smart, friendly, funny, beautiful, kind, caring, hilarious, and clever. And she has a really pretty dress! I LOVE LIZA! Love, Lexi

Hello Family! Since you haven't heard enough from me these past couple days, I thought I'd post a picture of my first project in my stage make-up class. That's Jonny Roberts. Doesn't he look pretty? Don't worry--I gave him cookies for doing it. Love, Lexi

I just wanted you guys to know that I went to the devotional this Tuesday and it was AMAZING! President Clark spoke and here's a link to a review of his talk http://www.byui.edu/News/NewsReleases2007/070919ClarkDevotional.htm It made me so grateful to be here at BYU-Idaho and I just wanted to share that with you. Also, I talked to him and Sister Clark afterwards and they said,"Good luck" to Stephanie on her mission. They are wonderful people! Love, Lexi

Everybody! I'm so excited because this weekend, I'm coming home! We will be leaving around 3:45 because Kim and Angela's classes don't get done until then. I'll be riding over with those two and Stayc Smith (she misses Peter a lot). So, if we actually leave on time, I'll be home around 8:30. One last piece of info: Bailey's baptism is at 1:00 on Saturday and I will be playing in a string quartet (with Kim, Mr. Cochrane, and Brittany) for the musical number. I'm so excited to see her, and to see all of you! I love you all and can't wait until this weekend! Love, Lexi P.S. Liza- I'l remember to bring my black skirt!

Ok, so outside isn't freezing yet (knock on wood) but something isn't quite right with our refrigerator. Those may look like normal eggs, but in fact, they're frozen! The back of our fridge freezes things, so we have to be careful about where we put our food. So everyone back home: be grateful you have a working fridge! Peace, Lexi

Finally I'm posting some pictures of my AWESOME roommates. That is a picture of our first dinner all together. I made French toast and even though they looked creepy, they still tasted good. The next picture is on Sunday after church. There's Kendra Johansen (she's the niece of Francis Christensen), Kimberly Walton, Jenna Olsen, and me! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful, kind, and hilarious roommates. All of us randomly burst into song, so we decided our lives are a musical...a COLLEGE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!! We're going to take pictures of us jumping by this BYU-Idaho sign and I'll definitely post it. I'm so excited to see everyone this weekend! I love you all so much! Love, Alexis

Here are some more!! --eliza

Beautiful Eliza and her escort for this evening's Homecoming Dance, Jeffrey Brann.

Okay family, here is the first installment of Eliza's Senior Pictures! The scanner is messed up at the moment, so I can't put them all up right now, however they will be coming later! Let me know what you think!! Love you all, Eliza

Here's a video of Kim and me using the Hello Kitty popcorn maker!

Hello one and everyone! Here are some pictures of my apartment. It's smaller than what I'm used to but amazingly everything fits (even my shoes). My roommates are great and I haven't gotten terribly lost. It's crazy finally being here and walking around campus with everyone and their backpacks. Not much has happened, but I'll stay in touch. I want to hear how everyone is doing too! Love, Lexi

YAY BLAKE!!!
