Christmas & NYE '12

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone! Seems like just last week it was Halloween and still warm out. Now it's freezing and 2013! Kills me. This Christmas was awesome. We had Jackie and Brandon down here for a full week and their precious kitty. We pretty much ate all week and went hot tubbing every night. The life I tell you! My dad got a gopro for Christmas but isn't ready to strap it onto his skateboard just yet so he's letting me borrow it. Thanks dad. You da best! Something else of his that I get to borrow of his is his new shiny camaro :) best dad ever. I sent him a picture today from years ago when I was sitting on his shoulders and said something funny like, "back in the good ol days, now I'm driving your camaro" haha I literally have the most awesome parents ever. Christmas was amazing. We had such a good time, made memories, went sledding at ghetto mt charleston where nobody spoke English and I wanted to punch everyone in the face. Also-- note to anyone that goes sledding-- don't use plastic sleds. Those pieces of crap will crack the second they hit the ground. Granted, mt charleston is super icy and everything... I will never again purchase a plastic sled. Classic las vegan move. My cousins in Utah are probably embarrassed for us right now. I'm pretty sure that's how big 5 says in business.... They rip off every sucker that buys a sled from them that breaks 30 mins later. as usual I'm such a picture person, so here's my life events in photos:

Successful elevator pic if you ask me.

Bellagio conservatory with da fam Annnnd I had bangs for a day.

Me and moo moo elf. He hated his life in this hat.

This year we had a Christmas party at the house. It was a blast. Good food. Good people. :)


Christmas afternoon :)


OKAY so Jackie mentioned that on the 30th as a family we were going to this zoo that is an hour out of town. First I thought, okay cool that's going to be freezing but whatever. Then she kinda told us that this zoo is only open two days out of the month and that they have kangaroos and camels and zebras and a sloth. Jackie loves sloths. haha so anyways we went to this zoo bright and early, around 11. :) which was really hard btw to get us all up and going... and we went to this zoo called roos n more.

me and a camel chillinnn.

Brandon gettin strangled by a snake.

Not sure how but jackie just looks so pretty and calm and she's just holding this nasty snake. Good job sis.

K lemurs are the cutest things ever. This little thing was just hopping from person to person, including on my dads head, don't worry a photo  is coming up shortly... but anyway we had the best time with this little lemur. Such a sweet little thing  I kept thinking of zaboomafoo from that show with the explorers and different animals when  I saw this little guy.

This is my dad with his favorite new animal, the lemur.

Owls are legit. This guy was just chillin with his huge eyes!

A baby cervil. So cute. I want one!!

This little piggy......... smelled. jk! he was cool.

This is a bearcat. cutest little thing ever!!

My new years kiss, the lemur. haha



AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....... THE MONKEY!! This monkey was awesome. She just went through your purse, and hopped on your head. We instantly became best friends. She loved my carmex, as I have a deep appreciation for carmex as well. Btw I lost that carmex to that monkey. But it's all good she was awesome.







Yes this toucan is real! It kinda looks fake in this pic but that bird was 100% real! The lady that worked there was like "I'll be right back" and left me with this bird on my arm and a line of people behind me and I can't like look at the bird because she was chilling but I felt like she would have hit me in the face with her giant beak. Eye contact with this bird just felt wrong so I just hung out till the trainer came back... my arm was secrely dying..... and I was scared for my life. Nonetheless I survived, and this bird was great.


LOVE MY FAM!! you guys are the best.


I bought brandon this shirt off etsy because it was so fitting!! Brandon loves cats as much if not more as I do. So he rocked this shirt at bowling and barely beat me by the way. I gave him a run for his money btw and definitely challenge him to another game asap. Also, I want my own bowling shoes. I may or may not have looked for some today online at work.....


This is us at Mt. Charleston, Mexico. Where nobody spoke english and we broke our crappy plastic sleds. However we did manage to take some awesome go pro videos!

This is me in my  camaro on the way to work on new years day. What kind of gym is open on new years day! killin me........ but I did have an awesome ride to work in this snazzy  car with my music bumpin and don't worry dad this was taken at a stoplight.


happpy new year!!

Boot Obsession.....

Lately all I do is watch Sons on Anarchy on my new 40" TV that I bought from Target for me on black friday....... annnnd shop for boots. here are some of my fav's. 

Shoe Dazzle Here. $39.95 ** I also want these in brown. 

Make Me Chic : Here $39.60

Tropador at Steve Madden. <3 p="p">

Here.

Cheaper alternative is these from GoJane:

They used to have these in black, but they're out of stock I suppose.  They are $36.30 which is way cheaper than Steve Maddens. I'm still a huge fan of the steve ones though. 

Swear if I studied as much as I shoe gazed and looked on pinterest I'd be a straight A student already graduating. 

The make me chic website has realllllly cute boots on there. I'm lowkey sad I found that website. but this christmas I'm all about giving. I can daydream about boots all I want but I'm getting family presents first. Our family isn't much for presents these days.. it's all about taking care of those in need and being thankful and grateful for health, happiness, and being safe. You wouldn't think that this post started by me daydreaming about boots.... and end up being thankful for all life has to offer. Mazal Tov. 

Thanksgiving '12

Thanksgiving. My third favorite holiday. #1 is my birthday (until I turn 25) and #2 is Christmas and #3 is thanksgiving. Such a fun holiday. I took the week off from work and my boss asked, " you going anywhere?" And I said, "nope just wanna chill and relax with the fam" my boss is awesome but he's Korean and super hard working and even though he tells me I'm his best employee ever he probably thinks I'm a slacker.

So anyway James came for thanksgiving. James is my crazy cool wrestler cousin that has more body pain than a 98 year old. James is a lot of fun Cody loves James so much. Back when James lived with us he became a older brother I didn't want. Beat me up (jk) :) . Drove me around while I listened to my cool jams. Took me to friends houses. Threatened boyfriends and potential Bfs (not kidding) haha love him so he came down and had thanksgiving with us too. My mom and I made the best dang food ever. Turkey stuffing yams (not my fave) pies cakes just everything one could desire. It was a really nice thanksgiving.




This is a picture of my plate. Just the first one.


This was when Colleen and I had thanksgiving round 2 around 4 am at my house. It's fine.


Rebel games with my girls. Unlv's killin it this year. #heyreb


We hang with tigers.





Momsy and I!!!





Chillin with the Turk!!


This is Breyden burley. He's cool. He goes to rebel games with my friends and I and bounces on trampolines with me. Family members: I might bring him to the Christmas party at Ashlee's on the 14th. Oh btw I'm coming up to Utah land that weekend family!! :) can't wait for school to be over!!!


This is my special friend Colleen describing a 20 foot mallard bird that she saw once





I love cats way too much....


This is kinda how I feel at this point. Couple more weeks till Christmas break. Exams. Papers. Assignments. Reading. Studying. Caffine. Library all nightiers. Bring it on.

Hello loyal blog fans, aka Ashlee and Allie Sammy & raeggy!! :) lets just start by me saying I'm depressed!! This is the first year in who knows how long we're not in Utah for thanksgiving!! I love huge family events. Like our thanksgiving madness where we all show up at a church and ask one anther how were all related (jk it's not that bad) and then we eat pie and play basketball and football outside where there's snow on the ground. Snow! I freaking love snow. The snow resorts open soon like in the next 5 days so ill for sure be going to Utah a ton!! So family, if you're reading this just know I love y'all and miss y'all and wish we could be up there this year. Have fun Black Friday shopping without me. Here's pictures of what I've been up to:



Rebel games-- which we've won all of ours so far! We have a great team this year!!!!


Holiday parties already. Love sweaters boots and Christmas parties that benefit needy children!








We don't usually sit in the nosebleed seats but when we do we take up rows and basically lay down and relax. It's almost better up there haha


My girls Sarah and Colleen at Hyde where Charlie Thurman or however his name is spelled was there. Colleen loves him. I could care less but I went with and it was good. One day I'd like to make a living off appearances and just showing up and partying with people.





The confetti was a nice touch. Later they handed us stacks of napkins and told us to throw them and my inner Eco self was thinking "what a waste of paper towels, they can't do that" but then I was like oh well and tossed it up haha. Can't you imagine the CEOs and club promotors just saying "let's throw leftover napkins everywhere when the confetti runs out" clubs are basically parties ran by older people with kid mentalities. Love it.


My Twinna Colleen


Ben and I at Stoney's. I have yet to ride the bull. I Lowkey don't want to unless I'm wearing jeans. And then after I wear those jeans ill probably have to burn them.


Hot mess' at Stoney's.


Waiting outside was freeeezing. But we just recently discovered girls don't wait in lines so now we get right in. Hah yes!!


Adam and I waiting in line!


I voted for the first time! Woo. Sad Romney lost though.


Halloween passed. I know. Thanksgiving is two days away but I haven't blogged in so long so here ya go.














Unlv vs unr game. We lost. For the 8 or 9th year in a row. :( stupid rebel football. One day we'll be good at football hahaha yeah right.

Everything's been good. Just super busy. I can't believe schools almost done this semester it is scary. I can't wait to be done with school. Then again I can wait. I'm tryin not to grow up too quickly here. Love you whoever you are. Hope all is well. Happy thanksgiving!
