Welcome Back

Hello everyone! I know I have not posted for a very long time, but I am not going to be like my mom and not post for almost two years. We have had a lot going on around our house in the past couple of months. I have turned 13! I also started middle school, went to girls camp, and got new hearing aids.

My birthday was a blast! We celebrated it on a Saturday because my birthday was on a Sunday. On Saturday my BFF Brittany and I went to lunch and Boondocks. We had a great time playing mini-golf, lazer tag, and best of all, making faces at my mom while on the go-karts. Then we opened presents. I would have opened them on Sunday but there was something I had to open on Saturday. I got what I have wanted for ever, and iPod touch! It was my moms old one but it is awesome. I also got lotion and some cute bags. After that we went to Spaghetti Factory and Gateway to get a cookie and a case for my iPod. It was a great birthday.

I started middle school and I love it! I love all my teachers and having so much fun. I love having the independence and not having to have one teacher all day. It is so fun to see all my friends every day.

I went to girls camp during the summer and it was so much fun. The best part was taking a shower in the river. We found a little swimming hole in the river next to our camp and decided to go swimming. I had some shampoo and conditioner so we washed our hair. It was really cold but refreshing. I had so much fun with all my friends and am even more excited to go to Oakcrest this year!

I also got new hearing aids in October. They are different than my old ones and don't have earmolds. I really don't like them that much because the hurt my ears so much sometimes that I can't keep them in. They are nicer than my old ones in some ways though. They play music when I turn them on, it is always fun to listen to it but it gets annoying after a while.

We have done so much in the past year I can't even remember it all! It has been crazy but we have had so many fun time with our family!

Hello

Hello everybody. I know, I know I have not posted for a very, very long time. We have had a lot going on here. Birthdays, easter, christmas, trips, off track, Halloween, sports, Etc.

We are off track right now. It is very boring. But, this is my last week of my very last off track. That is sad.:( We haven't done much. We did go to Kennacott yesterday. The best part of every off track is going to grandmas. We go to her house and eat as many cookies as possible. She probably has to make more the next day.:)

I started Lacrosse a few weeks ago. I love it so much! We had our first game on Saturday.
We died. The first game it was 5-10. But more than half of our team has never played before. At least we made some shots.

Well, Gabe and Eli are locking each other out of the house. I need to stop it.

P.S. Yesterday I got to spray Parker with a huge spray bottle+ some caprisun. hahaha. I enjoyed myself so much.

Birthdays, Trips, and Fun

The past few weeks have been crazy. We went to yellowstone and had a ton of birthdays.

I turned 12 a few weeks ago. It was the best birthday ever! I got a phone and went to the temple! I am also in Young Womens, finally! I love being 12! You feel so much older. It was my moms birthday too. But, Eli got sick and stayed home. My Great-grandma's birthday was this week too. She turned 101! She didn't know who's birthday it was and why she was there. She didn't even know how old she was!

This summer we didn't go to yellowstone like usual. But, we went last week instead. It was so much fun! When we got there we headed into the park. A few minutes in I spotted a bald eagle! And I spotted it! I never spot things like that. We saw a fox, buffalo, elk, and a mule deer. I decided to take pictures for reflections. I took over 700 pictures in 2 days!

Back to Shcool

A few weeks ago we started school. I am in 6th grade and I love it! My teacher is the nicest teacher in 6th grade. She gives us a lot of work, witch means a lot of homework. We rotate around in different classes for math, science, and social studies kind of like junior high. We have 2nd grade buddies on fridays. I like to have buddies because they are younger than you and they look up to you. I am in traditional school. In my class we have all 4 tracks in my class. So that means one fourth of my class is gone all the time, it is really weird.

I love school and I am exited for my last year in elementary school. :D

Girls Camp!!!

I know it has been a while, but a few weeks ago I went to girls camp. It was a blast! I took some pictures, but I can't put them on the computer. None of them are very good anyway beccause I took them.
The first night was very long. People kept talking and talking and talking. And I could still hear them with my hearing aid out. ( I knew somebody was going to coment on that.) We went to sleep at 1 o'clock. The next day was so fun. I got to help cook breakfast. We had groups that got to help prepare the food. We made indian headbands too. ( This is for all the days. I can't remember what we did each day.) We went on the zip line! It was the best thing ever. Our ward never had a set up time for the zip line, but that is another story. We did pin trading with the whole stake. We did things with out sister ward. And the sister ward for us made us cookies and played games with us. The worst thing was we went on the worst hike EVER! It either went strait up or strait down the whole time. Later we found our the hike was optinal! We made the cutest crafts ever. We made flowers and lanterns for one of our crafts. Every day we had scripture time. We would find somewhere to sit and read our scriptures. The last night we had a testimony meeting with our bishop. We went snipe hunting and we actually caught one! It was cute!
I am probably forgetting some things, but those where the things that stood out the most. It is so fun to go camping with a whole bunch of friends. I am exited to go next year too.

It's Been Crazy

The last few weeks have been very crazy. We have been playing with cousins and trying to do homework. My cousins from Las Vegas came almost every week since they got out of school. We have had so much fun together. Last time they where here we went to lagoon. It started to hail, so it was really cold because we where wet from a ride. We got home late and we still had to go to school. Last night was our last time seeing them for a while, I think.

This week in school we are filming movies. It is really crazy. My teacher stops the camera after every single line. It takes two hours to film a 5 to 7 minute video. My group is filming on Monday. To be honest, my group doesn't really have our script figured out yet. That means it will take even longer. I only have two or three parts in the whole thing and nobody in my group cooperates.

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day yesterday. We went to the cemetery for a ceremony thingy where they read all the names of the vetrens, ( Wich is pretty much everybody in the cenetary.) they sang songs, and they read poems. After that we went to my aunt Juilie's and had lunch. Then we had a water fight with chad. It was AWSOME. When we went home all we did was watch my mom and dad stain the deck. Then homework. Yay. We had a great had a great Memorial Day and I hope you did too. :)
