Youth Conference. . . . :)

So I know I haven't blogged in a little while. . . all right it has actually been 5 months. I know that sounds really really bad but I've been REALLY lazy lately so I figure better late than never so here it goes. . . . Today I returned home from Youth Conference. I had a blast! I got to see all my friends and do pretty much whatever I wanted to without having to ask my mom first:) I left on thursday and we drove up to Pineview. There is a family in our ward that let us stay in their cabin. The cabin was awesome amd it was only down the street from the lake. I would show you a picture but umm. . . . I was too lazy to take any. . . .and my mom is kinda mad cuz she let me take her camera and she told me that I better take a minimum of 30 pictures. . . but i'm sure as you can tell I didn't take any. Anyway the when we got up there we pretty much just played games and talked and unpacked our stuff for the night. Later that night the girls decided we were going to try to pull an all nighter. I was not up for this at all. I LOVE to sleep. I would probably sleep all day if i could but I would be in big trouble. So I laid in my bed and tried to sleep but I couldn't over all of the laughter and singing (yes there was singing) and the flashes of pictures being taken. So I decided to get off my butt and join the party. By this time it was about 2 in the morning. After I got up the boys piled on up the stairs and joined our fun. Someone gave the idea of telling jokes. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. All the jokes were really stupid but we were all so high on sugar that we laughed anyway. Finally at about 3 in the morning the boys went downstairs to bed and us girls decided to watch The Princess Bride. Instead of watching it we all fell asleep for maybe five hours before the beehives got here. Oh boy wasn't that fun to have all the beehives and deacons downstairs running around and yelling come on lets get to the lake!!!!! So finally we pulled ourselves out of bed and got ready for a big day of BOATING:) Personally I don't think that the beehives and deacons should have been there at all, even though it was only to go boating, youth conference is for the older kids who are 14 and above. The rest of us had to wait to go all, why couldn't they? But our bishop decided that they could go so the older kids had to suck it up. We finally got Pineview lake. We got set up at the beach and started blowing up the tubes. Ahhh the tubes. So there is one called the Molecule. it has three balls and in the middle is a raft type thing. My friends Livia, Rachel, Kaitlyn, and I dibbed first ride. I don't know if I ever want to ride that thing again. It was CRAZY!! I was (of course) the first one to fall off. But I am happy to say it didn't hurt at all. So I climbed back on and braced myself for the next ride. This time my friend Rachel and I both started to fall of the edge. We were laughing as our heads were bouncing up and down off of the surface of the water. We both lost gripped and flipped into the water. We started swimming toward the boat as we see Livia and Kaitlyn in the water laughing. After falling off twice I decided it was time to go back to the beach and sit on my towel. And from lack of sleep the night before I fell asleep without putting some more sunscreen on. Now my face and legs are fried and they both feel like they are on fire. Other than the sunburn I had a BLAST and I can't wait to go again!!

My Hero....

This year for Young Women's New Beginnings we each had an opportunity to talk about our hero, and bring a picture. I chose my Aunt Julie. Above is the picture I chose, it is my favorite. She is my hero for many reasons. She takes me shopping, and I LOVE IT! She makes me laugh when she sings. She lives with MS everyday. I love you Julie.

Christmas Morning

I made both of the boys pillow cases with the help of

my aunt Kathi. They loved them!!

Christmas this year was awesome. I got everything I wanted plus some.

I gotta say my new camera is my favorite gift I have been wanting a new one

for a very long time. So here are some pictures I took with my camera:)

Look what I made.

Well I haven't been posting for a while because I have had a ton of homework lately so here is what has been happening.:)

A few weeks ago for young womens we made these journals. It was a lot of work but totally worth it and fun! I can't wait to make another one:)

Happy Birthday Mom:)

I know this post is a day late but I had a ton of homework last night and I had young womens. Better late than never right? Anyway I just wanted to tell my mom happy birthday. Even though I didn't get her anything (yet:]). I hope she had a good one because she really deserves it cuz usually I am a pain in the butt. I know I shouldn't be because she is only doing what is best for me. She is a great person and I am so glad that she is my mom. I love you mom. You are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

What I learned about getting my hair cut.

On Friday I decided I wanted to get my bangs cut. I really wanted to get them straight across my forehead. I didn't quite know how to explain that to the hairdresser though, but somehow I did and she didn't get what I meant. When she started cutting my hair the scissors were going in all these weird directions. In my head I am going "What the heck is she doing?". Everytime I got a chance to see it in the mirror it seemed to look worse and worse. To me they seem a little to short, but tell me what you think because everyone I have talked to likes them so be honest. And I learned that when your hair is wet, it's longer, and when it dries it shortens.=)

Family fun at the fair.

So last week we went to the state fair. It was a ton of fun walking around all of the booths seeing what people had for sale. We stopped at a jewelry booth to look at rings, and I found one I really liked so I bought it for 40 dollars, and I have already lost it. So now I need to earn more babysitting money. oh well I hope I find it. I got a wallet too..I hope I don't loose that too! Knock on wood. Anyway it was a ton of fun and I can't wait until next year!!
