More College FUN!

I know I already posted a lot about college, but I figure a few more pictures won't hurt!


 Me and Erin got a little bit crazy about cleaning the last few weeks we were there! There were a lot of bugs on the light in the kitchen, so we were trying to vacuum them up!

 Our quote board was pretty funny!


The last night me and Erin were at the apartment by ourselves, so we decided to sleep in the living room! We pulled our mattresses out and slept in there!


This was one of our FHE activities, we were doing a "Chopped" challenge, with the special ingredient being bananas! We made banana nut muffins, they were delicious! Our group won, of course! ;)


Erin being a dork on a lazy Saturday!


Logan fixing our TV for us! He was a great "handy man" for our apartment!


Kylee, Erin and me!


Kenzie's crazy hair do!


Kylee ACTUALLY cooking for herself! That was not a common occurrence!


Tiernan, Erin, Kenzie, me and Kylee being goofs!


Analiese, Kenzie, me and Erin walking to Costa Vida and shopping for a girls night out!


Carving pumpkins with some of the boys in our FHE group! Me, Erin and Lake carved an Iron Man one!


Campfire at the Sand dunes before it started snowing for FHE! We had tons of fun making banana boats!


Brandon, Dallin, Analiese, Kenzie, Kylee, Kayleena, me and Erin after Kylee's first basketball game! Her team was great! (and yes, that is Logan in the back playing basketball, he's not much of the picture type!!)


Kenzie, Kylee, me and Erin at the B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bread/grilled cheese) party that Kayleena threw!


Another one of us making banana nut muffins for FHE!


Spur of the moment trip to the Cocoa Lodge for hot chocolate!
Katrina, Caleb, Erin, me, Taylor, Kenzie and Kayleena.


Me being a dork playing with my new computer camera on the first night at school!

Well there you go! I had a ton of fun! I loved this semester and can't wait to see what other fun adventures the future holds!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Today is my oldest brother, Jeremy's birthday! I just wanted to post a little something to let him know how much I love him! I love you Jeremy! Happy Birthday! I am so grateful that we were blessed to be born into the same family! I am so grateful that our family will be together forever! I love you and your cute family! I can't wait to meet your new sweet little baby girl in a few months! You are a great father and husband! I am so glad that I can call you my big brother! I love you! I hope that you have had a wonderful birthday! (Sorry these aren't the best pictures, but  I didn't have too many of you on my computer!)




College Fun!

So I have decided that I want to post a little about my first semester at BYU-I! We had a lot of fun adventures! We went to free concerts at Sammy's, had lots of ice-cream, went to the temple to do baptisms, welcomed a cat into our apartment, cleaned up spilled laundry detergent (yikes!! That was a mess!), made signs for our door, pulled all nighters, baked and of course the regular green face mask was in order! I had so much fun at school this semester! I loved all of my roommates, I mean we had our moments when we didn't get along, but overall we got along great! I am so glad that I decided to go to BYU Idaho!

Logan, me, Erin and Kenzie at Scoops! A really fun ice cream place that has ping pong and pool tables!

We went and saw Scott and Brendo perform at Sammy's. (Thanks Jeremy for letting me know about it!)

This cute kitty snuck into our neighbors apartment, so we decided to let it into ours for a little milk snack!

Me, Kenzie, Erin and Tiernan doing face masks!

Our wonderful mess that we got to clean up of laundry detergent on the floor in the bathroom!

We had a lot of tears this semester, I guess that is expected with six girls sharing one apartment. To let out our tears we did "shots" of Cream Soda and played My Life is the Worst Because...

Kenzie and I on our way to the Halloween Dance at the Hart building. She was "Crazy" and I was Minnie Mouse!

Erin, me and Kenzie after doing baptisms for the dead at the Rexburg Temple!

A sign that we made to go above our sink, some thought it wasn't very
appropriate for BYU-I, but it was so funny, we couldn't resist!

The door me and Erin decorated for Thanksgiving! We thought it turned out cute!

Erin the night we pulled an all nighter!

All nighter the day after my birthday!

Kylee was so excited about her "big sippy cup" haha!

We made some really yummy homemade applesauce!

Playing phase 10, our apartment loved to play games!!

The day the power went out! Classes were canceled and so we stayed in our apartment all day!
It was so cold!!

This was one of the coldest days while we were there! Yuck!
 This 30degree weather now feels like a summer's day compared to that!


This was a great semester! I met so many great people and had a blast! I will post more about our adventures soon!

A little bit about me

My name is Danielle. I am 19 years old (Holy cow! I can't even believe that).  I am currently attending school at Brigham Young University-Idaho and just completed my first semester as a freshman. I am majoring in Elementary Education and have always dreamed of becoming an elementary school teacher, I can't wait to make it to my life long goal! I am off track until April, so that means I am living at home until then and have a little bit of time on my hands!

I love to bake! My favorite thing to bake is cakes. I really love frosting cakes and cupcakes and coming up with new designs and flavors!

Here are a few cakes and cupcakes that I have made over the past few years..













I hope to make many more cakes and cupcakes throughout the next few months! I know I am not a professional and I could improve in a lot of ways. I enjoy baking and I won't let imperfection stop me from doing what I love!!

It's been a while!

So I know it has been about two years since I have posted anything, but I figured I might as well start trying to blog again! I am going to post all kinds of things on this blog. 

Including:
Family
Friends
Life as a college student at BYU-Idaho
Baked Goods
Recipes
Cake Decorating
Nieces and Nephews


So I hope that if you are bored enough to be reading my almost-not-worth-the-effort blog, you will at least somewhat enjoy what you see!
