MAY!!!

WOW!!! Last year I thought I was doing bad for not updating my blog in 2 weeks but now its been about.... a little over a month! I guess I just need to get better at this! Maybe It'll go better with summer... or maybe not! My summer is pretty booked! Well anyways the beginning of May me, Rachael, and Mikayla all had to do a project for English where we made a dinner from a different country. We chose to make something from England! We made Fish and Chips (which was like fish and then fry type things) and we also made a strawberry banana smoothie! It was actually not to bad! Here are our pictures from that!

me and Mikayla hard at work and Rachael in the back eating...Typical!!! haha JK I LOVE these girls!!!

ok....Well it said they had to be dried and we didn't want to wait forever so.... we got the blow dryer out!!:)

Surgery....
my grandma had to get a knee replacement so she was in the hospital for a week. my mom was always there and so we decided to go and visit her... well we visited often but this is the only time we have documented:)

I think Tyler and Derek had a little to much fun!! We were laughing so hard at them though! They were rolling around on the wheelchairs haha it was great! An 18 year old and a 24 year old haha! Ok and then I also have to put this picture on here from Spring Break!! Its great!
all of us girls in the same jacket!! What could be better?!?!? Haha I am wearing that jacket in a lot of these pictures it seems like.....hmmm haha

DANCIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT!!!!!!!
The time finally came for our 9Th grade night dance!!! It was so much fun! Because I was on Student Counsel I had to help plan it and such. It took such a long time to plan for it! On the Thursday before we were at the school from 8 in the morning to 9:30 at night!! And then on Friday we were at school from 8 in the morning to 10:30 at night! It was such a fun dance and everyone had such a fun time!! All the time we spent into it was worth it! It looked amazing!!! Here are some pictures from it!
Making stars!! We hated those things!! That was our life for a couple of weeks! We had to make 500! And after the dance we ended up throwing them away! And we didn't even use all of the stars!!!!
Chelsea, Brelynn, Teysia, Riley, me, Natalie, Rachael, and Whitney
We had about a half an hour that we could run home and change before we had to be back!
I was teaching Brody how to do the waltz:)
toasting with the cream puffs!
After the dance.....We were so tired!!! And we had to help clean up after the dance!! Oh man that was a long night! But so FUN!!!

After the dance and all of our Student Counsel duties we walked over to Kohlers, Wendy's and Subway to go to lunch!have you ever had the desire to lay in the road?!?!? We did!!
Me, Rachael, Olivia and Mikayla all went to Kohlers!

While we were waiting for everyone else... we got a little bored. We brought a little friend with us on our trip! His name was Simba!!! See if you can spot him in these next pictures!:)

April Goodness!!!

Oh Gosh I am really bad about all of this blogging stuff!! What has gotten into me?!?!?! I don't know! But April... What can I say it has been such a fun month!! Hanging out with all of my cousins and family!! I really think that is all I've done this whole month! Especially on weekends! Some of you might think I'm crazy but I love my family!! We have so much fun when we are all together!! Although some of you might think we are CRAZY....Ah it could be true but we sure don't care!! The first weekend of the month most of my mom's side of the family came down to run a 5K and some a 1/2 marathon! I ran the 5K with some of my other cousins but still have so much fun! We spent that weekend with my family the whole time playin, running, watching conference, and celebrating birthdays... we had 3:). Here are some pictures from that!

The next weekend 2 of my cousins came back down because it was their Spring break so they came down for the weekend. On friday we went and saw the Hannah Montana movie! It was SO good!! we all loved it!!!! After that we walked around in the mall and then me and my 2 cousins went to one of my cousins ward talent shows! It was great! After that we met up with my other cousin and went to a BYU comedy show thing. It was really funny! On Saturday my family had to go to a funeral but when we got back we went and got pedicures with my sister, and my 2 cousins! It was way fun! Then that night we had my grandma's birthday party/easter party that we had to go to and then after we played games with everyone!! Another great weekend!

On Monday it was Spring Break for us and we went down to St. George. It was so much fun!!! We left at 7:30 at night so we got there at about midnight.
On Tuesday we went down to Vegas! Me and Kirsten have never actually been there always just drove thru it so it was way fun! Here are some pictures from that!








The rest of the week we just hung out in St. George. Here are just some random pictures from that!

The girls and my dad from Monday night to Thursday night then Tyler and Derek came! They couldn't come until then because they had work (that's why there is mainly just the girls in the pictures...my dad had to take them). This trip was so much fun though! Except for I got sick on Wednesday and am finally starting to get better after a week!!! But anywho April has been a great month! I'll try to hurry and get on the next blogging post!

Temple~Birthday~Running

Ok well I obviously need to get better at this updating stuff! I don't update or ever then update everything at once! Ok well I guess this time hasn't been to bad! But anyways so me and my family went to the draper temple open house! It was really cool! I loved it! Here are some pictures!
Tyler, me, Kirsten, my mom, Derek, Ashley, and my grandma!

Tyler, my mom, Ashley, Derek, Kirsten, me, and my grandma It was FREEZING when we went to we were very cold! (as you can tell:D)

And then it was my dad's 50 birthday! I know he is an old man! haha just kidding but on his birthday we went to Kohlers and we each go 2$ to buy something for lunch then came home and cooked it! While we were cooking everything we had him open presents! After that we ate our lunch then sat at the table talkin about a bunch of stuff then we had rice crispie treats for desert!

Then on Sunday night my grandparents and my grandma came over for dinner!
my Grandma (mom's mom), my Grandpa and Granna(dad's parents), Kirsten, my dad, me, Derek, Ashley, ad Tyler

Then this morning my dad made me wake up at 7:30 and go run 5K at the last minute. I wasn't very happy about that at the time but now I'm glad I did because everyone in my mom's family are coming down in April and we are all running a 5K or a 1/2 marathon I'm running the 5K ha. But here are some pictures (remember its really early and I just woke up! haha)my mom, Ashley, and me (my dad was taking the picture.. As always:D)my mom and me runningAshley, me, and my mom after the race!

Well as you can see life's been good right now and getting better every day! Plus the fact that my brother gets home in 4 months from his mission! And schoo is almost over! Very exciting! But I'll just live life to the fullest now=)
