Not enough time in the day!!!

WOW!!!! Time has gone by so fast since the last time I posted anything! I thought I would post a little update on Nikki. Well classes are going well (so far!). I now know why I see all of these people sleeping in the halls at the University....IT IS HARD STUFF!!! I have already had a test in all 7 of my classes and all of them have had at least 3 quizzes. My grandma was not kidding when she said that college was nothing like high school. I am also feeling the crunch that all students feel regarding money, School books are way to much money! someone somewhere is a millionaire just off of the 9 books that I had to buy!!!

I am glad that I have the chance to go to college! I hope that someday I can look back on this all and just laugh! I am glad that all of my life I wanted what was best for myself so that I could someday provide for a family of my own.( that might come sooner that most think....I met this cute boy...story for another time)! I also want to say thank you to all of the influences form all the people in my life...You know who you are! THANKS!!!!

Mommy for a day

Today I got the opportunity to be a mom for the day. The baby's name is Alana and she is so cute!



I had to give her a bath and I found out really fast that she doesn't like to take a bath. She was so mad at me! After she was all done with her bath.... she was just so cute that I had to take some pictures!

And then we were finally done! She was not to happy.

When we were all done with that we went to Candi McMullins house to hang out. We had so much fun. Candi's baby is four years old, and it was so cute to see her with a four month old. Lilli, the four year old, was kind of shy at first when we got there, but every minute after that she was always holding her. It was so cute to see....I wished I would have gotten a picture. Alana is such a good baby and can sleep threw anything! That was very nice when she was sleeping!

I had the best time at Candi's playing with Lilli and Alana..... Alana dose not like it when you are holding her and sitting down....she has a sixth sent and she can tell when you are going to sit and she cries!!! I know that by the time I came home from Candi's house I was so tiered!! I fell right to sleep and Natasha my sister came in while I was asleep with Alana still awake!

A baby is a lot of work......79 million bottles and 52 million diapers later I was so tiered! And this also made me realize that I don't want a child for a while! So hats off to all of you moms!!! I don't know how you do it.

I think I am ready.....:0

I am so not ready to see what college has to bring!!! I have been talking to a lot of people and they have all said that I am going to have a tough time doing 20 credits all at once..... I hope that is not the case. I hope I can go into school and show everyone that I can do it. I know that the books are so much money!!!! I couldn't believe that they were as much as I payed for them. Now that school is one week away........I am praying that I can do it.

Santaquin Rodeo 2008

The Santaquin Rodeo was OK this year. There seemed to be a lot of people there because of the fireworks after the rodeo. I know that one of the best parts of the Rodeo was the sunset. I took more pictures of it than of Hot Cowboys! It looked like a fire!

There was this one little boy who was there with his family and he came up to Allison and I and he would just sit and talk up a storm. His mom would tell him to come back down were they were at but he always came back. He was so cute!!

The next best part was the Fireworks...They were way good this year. The only thing wrong with them was that there were these two girls sitting behind me...I mean right behind me say oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh... The whole time...Not just once or every now and again but the WHOLE TIME!!!!!........I wanted them to run away and play some were else! They would roll down the hill and kick me in the head and they would not just hold still. All of the people on the other side or the arena came to our side because we had the best view....it was crowded! But other than that it was great! This is a clip of the great ending!

Utah Fire of 2008

Well as most of you know there was a BIG fire here in Utah county in Spring Lake. I got some really good pictures of the fire and I also got some of the helicopters filling their buckets to dump.

Spanish Fork Rodeo

I went to the Spanish Fork Rodeo with my friend Allison. It was so much fun! The first thing that we got to see was these two guys jump out of a plain and come and land right in the middle of the arena. The first guy had a can of smoke that he let go and made all kinds of circles and different designs. There was wind so we all thought that they were going to miss the arena but they both made it safely.

Then we all got to pay respect to Old Glory......

These are some of the many pictures I took.

I think the best part was the Wild Child..... he puts on this act that he doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle...and he gets on it and rides it around the arena and jumps a truck and trailer. It was FUN.........................

That was the trip to the rodeo.!!!!!!!!!!

Fort Douglas Museum

After were we were finished at the zoo we then went to the Fort Douglas Museum. We got to see a lot of cool old guns and uniforms. I really liked all of the guns and amo that they had to look at. I think it was also cool that they had a section of the museum of the capture of Sadam Husan. They actually have the boots and the coat that he was wearing the day that he was captured. Outside of the museum there were a lot of old tanks and air crafts. I can not believe how big they are! It was a good museum.

Hogle Zoo 2008

The Zoo was so much Fun! I have not been there for about 10 years. I got to go with on of my best friends, Erika, and her sister, Bonnie, and her husband, Caral. I would have to say that you should never use Map Quest! That is were we got our directions off of and lets just say that we got lost. I would also have to say that there are some really CRAZY people that live in the Salt Lake area. We were having a wonderful drive to the zoo when to old guys drove up next to us. The passenger was flexing his muscle, well what muscle he did have, at us. We told Caral that they were looking at him because they were gay. Then the driver was like staring us down when they passed us..... CRAZY!

I would have to say that the coolest thing about the zoo was the bird show. I have never had so many diffrent types of birds fly so close to my head before. When one of them flew over head I oould feel the rope that was around his legs. I am so glad that no one stood up....they would have lost there heads! The other cool part was the built in cool down stations that were threw out the whole park. It was fun.

UVU here I come!!!!

Well as of today I recived my acceptance letter to attend UVU as a freshman for the 2008-2009 school year! I can't wait. I really am so excited because I was not going to go to college for a while. I thought that I really didn't need to go but now that I am I just can't wait to start!

I am going tobegin with my generals. I hope that I can get good grades so I can be accepted into medical school. I hope that some day I can become a surgical tech. or maybe even a doctor. I just can't wait!!
