R.I.P.

Goodbye dear tree...
This tree has been around for as long as I can remember. But recently grandpa decided he needed to cut it down. It has always been a favorite for the grandchildren and it will be sad to have it gone for good.

Everyone thought that it was a really bad idea to cut the tree down because it had been growing for so long and surrounded the power lines. But grandpa still wanted to cut the tree down so the men all gathered at grandma's Saturday morning to cut down the tree.



Some great times were had with that tree and on that swing! It's sad that it is being cut down.








While the guys were cutting down the tree I was able to watch these two cuties! They are so adorable and it was fun to spend some time with them! Aneesa was so funny and Chevelle is so sweet and so much fun to listen to after she warms up to you. She talks about just about anything she can think of, I love being around my little cousins. I am so lucky to have such an amazing family and that we can be so close to each other.

Storytime

Have I mentioned that the BYU library loves me!? Case in point:

Last year I had a late fee at the library. It wasn’t much it was only a couple of dollars, but it wasn’t too bad. I went to the library to go check out a book and the guy at the desk told me that I couldn’t get a book because I had a fine, but since it was the first time I had been given a fine he could clear it for me and I could check the book out. I thought that that was cool and I was glad that I hadn’t had to pay my fine.

This year I had a project for my children’s lit class. This project was so much fun and I had a great time doing it. For the project I needed to choose and author, I picked Roald Dahl, and then I had to give a presentation concerning the author and his books. Great project right!? It really was so much fun but every time I went to the library I checked out more books. Little did I know the children’s books at the library cannot be renewed. I thought that I had renewed all of the books that I had and that they were due the day of my presentation. Well the day of my presentation I went to the library with a duffle bag (I really did have many) full of books to return them. While I was checking them in I realized that most of the books in my bag were due a while ago and that I probably had fines on them. The BYU library charges a dollar for every day a book is late. So I had at least a ten dollar fine. Of course I didn’t want to pay it until I had to so I avoided paying it for a while. A few weeks later my roommate and I were going to do a movie night so we went to check out some movies. In order to check out the movies I had to pay my library fine so I went to the front desk. When I got there I mentioned to the lady at the front desk that I had a fine that I needed to pay so that I could check out some movies. The lady took my card and pulled up my account. She then said, “Well you haven’t had a fine for a while so I can just clear it for you” Isn’t that so amazing! So now, going into finals I just have to remember that at least the Library loves me…

Best thing ever!

I'll admit we (At grandma's) watched this a few times on Sunday...
