Rise and shout, the Cougars are out....

Yep, it's official...

I am going to be joining the zoobies on the hill this fall.

There is no turning back now...I have a place to live.

August 27th I will be moving into Heleman Halls.

It is crazy to think I will be moving out. I've never shared a room or a bathroom, being the abandonned youngest child that I am. But I am excited! I have been emailing my soon-to-be roomate and she seems way cool! She is from Elko, Nevada... CRAZY!!

Here I go...starting my future.

Dancing in the Moonlight!

Ok ok, so I am working on the catch up...

Next on the list...

MY SENIOR PROM!!! woo.

So I went with Scott Frandsen. He's a cutie. He asked me using a build a bear. So Cute!!! It's a dog dressed in a tux. When you squeeze it's hand it says "Emmy, will you go to the Prom with me?." I love it. I answered him by putting together a 300 piece puzzle, turning it over and writing on it. Then I took it apart, had 300 plastic easter eggs and put one piece in each egg. I made an easter basket for him with candy and an easter bunny and put it in his room, scattering the other ton of eggs all over his floor! It was so funny!

Ok, so for Prom, they picked us up and took us to get massages. I know great right? I definitely loved that. Then we went and ate lunch and played games. After that they dropped us off. I had enough time to take a nap which I loved! Then I got ready, and as it tends to be, panicked a little with the time. Rondi was a life saver and helped me with my hair, makeup, dress, jewlery and all other things. I don't know what I would do without her! Thanks so much!

Then Scott came to pick me up. We took lots of pictures at my house then went down to Adam Law's house andtook more. After that we headed to Chef's Table for our lovely meal. When dinner was finished, we went down to the dance which was at the Provo Library. We took more pictures then waited in line for the Promenade.

In our group was Scott and I, Adam and Cami, Downing and Jessie, Andy and Ashly, Willie and Katelin, Morgan and Karissa, and Tanner and Heidi. I loved out group! We all were so fun!

Check out Scotts shoes...and the car...

After coming down the grand stairs into the crowd of people, we talked to our families and friends and took even more pictures. Then we headed back upstairs to the dance. The dance was so much fun! Our whole group did our thing out there on the floor. We loved it. Our theme this year was "Dancing in the Moonlight" so that was fun.

I even made Kyson (my Prom date last year) take a picture with me!

After the dance we changed then went back down to Adam's house and watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the gym on love sacs.Prom was so much fun and I loved it! I can't believe it is over! I will never go to another High School dance...I can't believe that. I have to admit I will miss them and all the drama. Graduation is just around the corner. I don't know how I got this all this fast, but its all right here!!

more later... love emmy.

CANCUN!!!!

yep, it has been THIS long since we have posted anything...give us a break...we're young and hot...haha.

ok so... first... we recently took a FANTASTIC trip to the lovely city of Cancun in Quintana Roo, Mexico! Actually, technically we were in Puerto Morelos, which is just south of Cancun, much more secluded and still gorgeous.

We spent the whole first day waiting in lines...no joke. Gotta love airports. One highlight of the day, when we were in line at security at the SLC Airport, we happened to see Coach Lon Kruger of the UNLV Basketball team. I iniated a conversation (apparently I get it from Merrill, suprised anyone?) Even though I don't love the Rebels, he was so nice and I have a lot of respect for him.

We loved the weather when we finally got out of the Cancun airport. We were so excited to get to our hotel, even if we had to drive through the ghetto to get there. We stayed at the Hotel Marina El Cid. It was an All-Inclusive resort, all our food, fun and virgin Pina Coladas were included right there. It was gorgeous. The view from our room definitely wasn't bad either.

We woke up every morning, walked a few yards to our spot under a Palapa on the beach and laid there all day. Of course alloting time for breakfast and lunch, various activites and time in the ocean. We all slept a lot, read a lot, and got a lot of sun. At the end of the day we would all shower, longer than we should, and get ready (ok only halfway get ready...who needs makeup?) . We would then go down to dinner wherever we had reservations for the night. After that, we would probably go to one of the very nice entertainment shows they had.

We did so much while we were there...

relaxed in the spa

loved the ocean

played with iguanas

went to the ruins in TULUM

partied!

visited playa del carmen (a nearby city)

went snorkeling...and almost died

met some nice latin boys...

don't worry, we didn't attend any of the clubs we were invited to or visit any of the houses we were also invited to...

Overall the trip was awesome. Minus the couple fights and illnesses, we did great.
Some other highlights of the trip include:


a bike ride into the local city
trying to watch the sunrise
diet cokes with lime on the beach
coconut ice cream to die for
jumping off the cliff in the pool
the slide in the pool
morning sretching on the beach
not playing volleyball
our mini rental car
giving tips to our waiters
when the snorkel trip ended
when daddy wasn't ill
being warm
bargaining so well with the locals
making sure our dog Cobi was safe at home
and much MUCH more!!

On the way home, we had a three hour layover in Dallas and were lucky enough to spend time with our sister Sonja, her husband, our three nieces and one nephew! We ate lunch in the Rainforest Cafe and celebrated our nephew Jenson's birthday! It was so fun to see them since we rarely get to! We love out Texas family!


Thanks to our parents for taking us on this lovely vacation!
We miss Mexico...

Well, I now realize that naming our blog ER may have been a bit of a jinx, but a blog named RE would just be... REtarded. I guess Emmy just wanted to make the ER official so she "took ill" and has spent the last 3 days in the hospital. Emmy's tonsils have always given her serious issues and over the past week they have taken over. Picture two golf balls at the back of her throat. Seriously. Huge and white. Really gross. Be glad I did not post a picture! On Sunday after a visit to the Dr. she was sent to the hospital for treatment. So she has been hooked up to IV antibiotics and occasionally morphine :) Hopefully she will be able to go home tomorrow!

Here she is on day 1. Pretty cherry, but I think she was just in so much pain she had no idea what was going on.

Day 2 she is using her special straw to suck out the yuck in her throat. Sick.

Our dad reached an unexpected level of boredom while chillin at the hospital and asked to listen to some Hip Hop music. As it turns out he liked it and says he understands (a little) why we listen to this stuff. His favorite was "Too Hot" by Swollen Members and he got ants in his pants and started dancing a jig! I have never seen dad moving like this but it was great!!! Da brotha can throw it down. I think he was trying to krump haha. Check him out. Sorry there is no sound... Just listen to "Too Hot" on the playlist to get inside his head :)

I was given the obvious job of doing Luca's hair. As it turns out I cannot french braid in any form, and was fired!

Day 3 Emmy is so sick of being in the hospital she will hardly look at me, but thank goodness for beach day in the pediatrics unit and for Alisen (Emmy's friend) who has entertained me with her fabulous hula-hooping skills!

I think my my mom and my dad are pretty amazing for missing work and sitting in the hospital with Emmy for so many days. Family is the best :)

I'm A Bulldog Till I Die!!

Well, I will add the first post without Rondi..


Saturday, March 1st Provo High School won their second consecutive state basketball championship at the Dee Events Center beating the Bountiful Braves 45-43! It is the fourth time Coach Craig Drury has taken his boys to the finals of the state tournament in the last five years, winning three. Provo High has 17 total state basketball titles and Coach Drury now has 8 from his many years as a coach there!


As you all probably know, I do stats for the team and because of this I got the amazing privilege of sitting with the boys on the court and of course running to the middle when the final buzzer rang! I also got to go into the locker room afterwards for the post game chat, which was awesome! My favorite part I think was riding home on the bus with them!

On the way home, they sang songs as per tradition, but the best part was the very end of the ride. As we got off the freeway, two police cars were there to escort us to the school! Traffic stopped and people stared and honked. It was the best! We were yelling "STATE CHAMPS" out the windows and waving our #1 finger! As we were nearing the school we all sang the most classic and always popular song "I'm a Bulldog"! They all love to sing at the top of their lungs

"I'm a Bulldog, I'm a Bulldog, I'm a Bulldog till I die. And I'd rather be a Bulldog than a BRAVE from BOUNTIFUL HIGH!!!!"

As we got to the school, a large crowd was there. It was so awesome! We then had a party @ the school, the boys sprayed GREEN 7up, as per tradition and we all enjoyed it! We continued to party the rest of the night!

Needless to say it was an AWESOME night!

BACK TO BACK sure feels good!!!!!

eat that timpview.
