Logan's Pick:

Brooke White is cool, let's face it. She has a way fun and cute blog called The Girls With Glasses Show. Check it out!

Moriah's Pick:

This is a fun, old Wombats song. It makes me think of my almost siblings Maddy and Cole.

Recent pins on Pinterest:

Cat shower caps?! Yes!

Hipster Princesses. Cool right?

We always love Marc Jacbs ads, but this silver and gold one takes the cake:)

Why can't we go to Paris like Blair and Serena?

The lace and pastels on the Spring runways are drool worthy.

Hip happenin' Mary-Kate.

“The way I see it, you have to take every chance you get because there may not be another one. You have to learn from your mistakes because nobody's perfect. You have to laugh, love & live every day as if it's your last.”  - Mary-Kate Olsen

Silly Showdown:

So yeah this video is cheesy, but we also say this stuff on a regular basis. Sue us. No-don't sure us. That is opposite of the point we are trying to make. Plus D.I. shout out! 3/4 of our wardrobes are from there.

Sometimes we feel like this little guy. Like when we get trapped in the kiddie swings. Who's not in denial that their legs don't fit?

Saying:

Gossip Girl is a wise one.

Peanut butter and honey kettle corn + Season 1 = Weekend plans

Snapshot:

Sometimes graduation is hilarious. Especially when it is filled with creepy pictures.

Story:

Once upon a time, Moriah was driving home with Logan, Paige, Michaela, and Mallory all in the car. On a whim we decided to drive down lots of different roads on the way to our houses. First, we went down the creepy road that leads into the woods and has broken down trailers and women that glare at you and men that clean their guns from their porches. We rolled down our windows and blasted 96.7 (the Spanish station). We are lucky we are still alive basically. After that we drove into a subdivision and saw a road that lead to a single house and could not resist driving down it. Unfortunately the road was straight mud, and the SUV was stuck. Also unfortunately for us, Moriah's dad had washed it by hand the day before. So we did what any good country girls would do and got out and pushed. After laying on the gas and pushing mud away from the tires we finally broke free, but we still had a muddy car. We went to Logan and Paige's house and got Tupperware container full of water and cleaned it off. Dad never noticed.

Logan is having technical difficulties at the moment, but more pics of her are coming hopefully.

You know you love us ( Ha, gossip girl) Xoxo,

Guest Post Wednesday!!

Rashuauna:

Rashauna is Moriah's happenin' roommate.

True friends. They are people who want the best for you. A true friend will freely give their time, energy, laughter, and the bigger slice of pie. I caught on to this a little late in life. Although I don’t have many people I keep in touch with from high school due to my lack of good judgment, I know I‘ve seen true friends in my life. Fortunately, I’m finally starting to keep them around.

Be a true friend. In order to have good friends, one must be a good friend. A good general rule I try to live by (key word: try) is give more than you wish to receive. Giving feels good. Making someone smile feels good. Listening to someone feels good. I’ve known this my whole life and am just now starting to apply these pieces of common knowledge. Being a good friend will open opportunities for others. As you give to the people around you, they are embedded with a natural urge to give as well. People inspired by your generosity can find the happiness I have found in giving to others. You can indirectly make someone happy and happy people make our world a better place. You can make the world a better place.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. People feel positive energy. I don’t care if you are a hippie or not, life energy feels real to me. So, in addition to giving, it is almost as important to have a desire to give. Be genuine in all that you do for others in order to recycle positive energy. Give positive energy to all you encounter, but look for good investments (friends) to transfer your energy to so they can absorb it and give it back to you when you are running low.

In closing, I want to thank the very important people in my life that hold the title of a true friend. I have learned several things about life and even more about myself and who I want to be. This is me trying to recycle positive energy. This is me trying to give what has been given to me. This is me trying to be a true friend.

Thank you for reading.

Sincerely, Rashauna Dyann Hoer

Thanks Rashauna! You're awesome and definitely the definition of a true friend.

ABCs

Logan

A. Age: 18

B. Bed size: Queen- I sleep on 50% of it and on the other 50% there is books, journals, cards, bags, pictures, secret books filled with food, and pens. It makes for very easy access no matter how terrible my parents think it is.

C. Chore you hate: Loading the dishwasher. I don't like to touch ketchup on a plate or fish bones that can slip onto my hand.

D. Dogs: I only like wiener dogs. If dogs never shed their hair or slobbered, they may be ideal. But they do.

E. Essential start to your day: Brushing my teeth very first.

F. Favorite Color: Gold

G. Gold or Silver: Gold obviously ha.

H. Height: 5'6" except I haven't measured for like three years, so I may be 6 foot. Who knows? (Moriah says yeah right. I was just home and you were not taller than me. If anyone is going to reach 6 feet it's me ha.)

I. Instruments you play: Cello. One time I put wax paper on a comb for a talent show. All you have to do is blow on the wax paper and it makes sound. My mom taught me. Thanks mom :)

J. Job Title: Shift Supervisor at Papa Murphy's. Wow.

K. Kids: 5 or 7. I love my big families and would love a set of twins thrown in somewhere. They run in the family!!

L. Live: Rexburg

M. Mother's Name: Becky-also known as BB or Beckster. Love her, she is such a sweetheart :)

N. Nicknames: Hamster Ball (not true says Moriah), Loey, Lolo, Logy-Hogy, Dusty Bones, Cecelia

O. Overnight hospital stays: Creepy desire to have surgery so that people treat me very special. And I was born. And I had surgery once, and also I almost died because my lungs were like coated with mold or something like that.

P. Pet peeves: Time left over on the microwave and no one clears it, when people make weird noises, when people don't work hard at work, when people have really loud sneezes-like my parents. I also hate being woken up with "up up up!!!".

Q. Quote from a movie: Notebook Quotes and She's the man quotes. I quote She's the Man so many times a day, and Moriah doesn't know like any of them. So that's frustrating. And also Mean Girls, very quotable and hilarious, but it can be dirty, so watch your back.

R. Right or left-handed: Right. I have a secret fascination for left-handed boys, I tend to be a little bit attracted to them.

S. Siblings: Six, 5 girls 2 boys (I am a girl). Two are married and I have 5 nieces and one nephew.

T. Time you wake up: 7:12-but it really depends on how I want to do my hair that day.

U. Underwear: ......Fruit of the Loom customer!

V. Vegetable you hate: Cauliflower. Weird. I once hid it in milk- and there are people out there who tend to be creepy and try to use cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatoes. Knock it off people, I am from Idaho and I know the difference between a potato and a sicko cauliflower.

X. X-rays: Teeth xrays.I always feel like a dog when I do them because they peel your lips up way high and way low so you look like you have rabies. Hope you don't have a crush on a dentist, because if you ever had a chance with them before, you won't after an xray! No one wants to date a dog. Sorry.

Y. Yummy food: Chicken, cheesecake, pizza, spinach, rice, sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls with my mom's rockin' frosting.

Z. Zoo animal: Leopard/ Blackbird. Moriah is 90% deaf and thought that I said blackbird. No. There are not blackbirds at the zoo as far as I know. Foxes are cute I guess.

Music Monday

Moriah's Pick:

Ok, I know what you're thinking-Hannah Montana really? Yes, really. My ipod was on shuffle this morning and this song came on. It perfectly fit my morning. Not ashamed.

Logan's Pick:

This song is also a tad different than our usual stuff. Michaela is all about the foreign music and this hip guy isn't too bad. Even though we don't know what he is saying.

Snapshots from today........

Time to dance in the rain.

Song/Silly Showdown:

Many a night we have stayed up till 2 a.m. watching AFV clips. Pretty much every clip is a guaranteed goldmine.

This pic is a indescribable. Ok, we can describe it in one word: genius.

Saying:

Kate Spade is not only a fun designer, but a very wise woman.

Snapshot:

Sisters are the best. Luckily we are all BFFS with our sisters. Saying we're silly is an understatement.

Story:

Ever wished you were a vampire? Well back in good old 2009 (the best year ever!) we thought we were happenin'. Moriah's Dad says Stephanie Meyer totally used his idea for a vampire story he was going to write. True story. These are the woods by our house where some of our biggest adventures took place. Like Paige and Moriah seeing a giant white wolf.



Words- the Great and the Horrific

So Moriah and I have always been very inviting of new words. We love to use them in contexts that don't make sense but are very funny and force a chunk of laughter out. A couple of years ago, Moriah told me that she loathed the word MOIST. Why?? It makes your mouth do weird things and if you think about it, it really is creepy, because something should either be wet, or dry, not in between with a sparkle of precipitation. I will let Moriah go on about her feelings of other words, I don't want to steal her thunder.

On Tuesday the 10th, I was in my AP English class, and in this class kids use words that make you wrench your back to find your dictionary. One of my fellow classmates said a word that made my gut turn in a knot. It is this: TUTELAGE. Like you have a tutor, so you are under their tutelage. Toot is a displeasing word, so adding another suffix to the end doesn't help, but hinders the appeal of it. Creepy.

On the same day, in the same class, I discovered a word that I love, it is COLLOQUIAL. This word, the extreme opposite of the first, makes your mouth move great, and it sounds great too. Almost fresh, like hunting pheasants in the fall- I just really get that feeling. Tutelage connotes a skinny teacher with his glasses on the tip of his nose looking down past his baby mustache at you and being disappointed.

 

Definitely not what I was thinking of when I said smug teacher with a mustache. Awkward. 

run buddy

Moriah here. So words huh? Well I am a big hater of moist because your mouth feels all strange afterwards. I'm not a fan of like or um or interupting (not a word, but still). I don't like swear words either. Except the "B" word is funny once in a blue moon. That is horrible to admit, but I know Logan has my back on this one.

I Love:

Scallywag: noun

Sassy: adjective, sas·si·er, sas·si·est. Informal .

Wednesday Guest Post: What ever Happened to the Days of Fancy?

Here is a short thought by Tanner, a great friend of ours. Moriah and I have always admired his daring sense of style and classy ways that every girl tends to find charming.

What ever happened to the days of fancy? The days of old when courtship was such an adventure and every day spent with the other person was inspired and inventive? Every date was what songs and movies are made of. Sometime in the past, life became such a free for all, and drinking and drug induced relationships were a norm. How romantic, stumbling around and doing incredibly dumb things without control over yourself, and then waking up in the morning and remembering NONE of what happened the night before.

Lets re-introduce society to the times ''hopeless romantics" dream of; when boys acted like gentlemen and girls acted like ladies, when going to a formal ball was widely available, and when a single kiss was the definition of "third base". A more respectable time indeed, but somewhat impossible for the 21st century. However, it is very possible to take the ideas of what happened in those days and re-invent them as modern.
A message of hope now goes out to all of those lasting romanticists out there, there are many girls and boys who still enjoy acting as ladies and gentlemen. There is still a special breed who dreams of this sort of thing, in fact I asked a couple of my friends what they would most want to come into modern courtship from decades past. Natalee said, "I like how in the olden times men would kiss woman on the hand, and always open the doors for girls, and help them with their coats." Taylor told me, "I love it when men serenade woman and when they dance with the girl in the kitchen or somewhere that there is no one to impress. As well as a kiss in the rain or in light snow." I love all of those things and would just die for a girl like that. A girl would would gush at all of the classic dates and adventures. A girl who would let me open the door for her, a girl who would take my coat when I offer it, a girl who would enjoy being sung to from her window, and a girl who would dress up just to go to a ball and waltz.
There are still those of us who long for the day when society adopts these practices, but until then, continue dreaming and hoping. After all, its been said many times, "they lived happily ever after".

 This picture was completely spontaneous, it was when the end of World War II was announced. Moriah and I have always dreamed of grabbing someone beautiful and just kissing them like this.

 Perfect picture to illustrate dancing in the kitchen.

 This reminds us of "Fearless" by Taylor Swift.

 These hands (the ones not in the gloves with the rose, ha :) are Tanner's.

I am in love with this picture because it shows exactly what Tanner depicts "The days of old when courtship was such an adventure and every day spent with the other person was inspired and inventive". You have to love who you are with! Pictured here and below are Tanner and Sariah.

Sorry for the explosion of pictures, but I believe that pictures capture the beauty of life, and since this is one of every teenagers favorite topics, we think it deserves a little somethin' special. Thank you so much Tanner for bringing to words the desire that we all have: to love and be loved in a beautiful way full of friendship, adventure, spontaneity, and innocence. We fully agree with every word said and get the butterflies and the smiles from your poetic gift of writing. You're a pal!

Love Moriah and Logan, the friendship addicts.
