The Many Faces of Alexa Slaughter

So, I was taking pictures of myself to try and get one to send to a missionary friend.  

This is what I was going for:

Pretty nifty, eh?

What it took to get there: varying levels of enthusiasm and a range of facial expressions.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Well, Easter's coming up, and I was reminded of one of my favorite childhood memories when I picked out this blog background.  If you look closely, the word around the bunnies say "hopping down the bunny trail" and that shot me back in time to laying on the living room floor in our old house and watching Peter Cottontail.  I loved that movie!  I probably still would, but it's been forever since I last saw it.

So, in the spirit of Easter, and in the spirit of General Conference which happens to fall on Easter this year, here's one of my favorite Mormon Messages clips by Elder Holland from last year's Conference.  It is such a powerful testimony of the Savior and his Atonement:

Happy Easter!

Jelly Beans!

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Bill sent me a package for my birthday.  And here's what was in it:

Best birthday present ever?

It's a contender!  :)

Llamas!!

There was a group promoting a donation campaign on campus who brought LLAMAS today!!

How awesome is that?

Kissing a llama!

(Yes, my eyes are closed, lame, I know!)

More kissing!

Yay llama!

And who knew they were so soft?  I just wanted to keep petting them!

Birthday Cake! (and Pi)

Tonight I had friends over for cake.  It was delicious.  My old piano teacher who lives in Provo brought over a peach pie for "Pi Day" (3.14, get it?) that her amazing husband made.  Yum!  So we had cake and pie for my birthday!

Cake!  Yay pretty and sprinkles!

Me + Cake = YES

Jillian, Alyse, and Rebecca from down the hall :)

I wish I could get the movie to upload but it's being dumb, so I'll work on that. :)

20th Birthday Dinner!

Can you believe I'm turning 20?!?

My good friends Clarissa and Rebecca took me out to dinner at my favorite place tonight for my birthday.  It was a blast!  Man, I love that restaurant!  We were pretty goofy: flirting with the waiter, drawing on the table with the crayons, eating tons of that delicious bread, getting free cake and being serenaded with an Italian 'Happy Birthday' song.  Love it!

Oh, and I got my hair colored and cut today.  Check out the pictures!

Waiting forever.

Yay hair!

FREE CAKE!

Crayons!

The cake is gone  :(

Crazy Clarissa

Clarissa's beautiful drawing.

Can you name the movie?

Thanks friends!

The Best Thing That's Happened This Week

Ok, maybe it's not the absolute best thing that happened this week, but it comes close.

I ordered a new cover for my phone since I broke my old one.  And it's pretty schnazzy, not gonna lie.  :)

Pretty awesome, huh?
