The Fabulous Forth!

Okay, so my pics for this post are kind of lame, but who can't post about a great holiday?? (Court! THAT'S who!...) erg. Anyway, yesterday our family went over to a friends house and swam, and barbecued! We also went to 5 & diner for shakes, and I got to have a sleepover! So... "No fireworks?" you ask? I know! GASP!! Well actually, I stand corrected, we saw a glimpse of some on the way to get shakes. But, ya know, that still doesn't count and we are big loser faces.

Me and Adam in the pool! At least my swim suit is RW&B!

Okay, before you go on you have to understand that I was trying to take pictures with people holding up a 4 , but then it slowly led into 'gasp' and 'Merilyn Monroe' faces, but hey, it was fun.

Adam was being nice and holding up a 4 for me!!

AWW!!!

Me, Riley, and Mossy (his real name is MOS it stands for Monkey of Sin!) (don't ask me why, it is a long story)

Here is me with Chandler , Ethan, Marylin Monroe, and Elvis!

Hope you had a great fourth!!

HSM... the musical!

Alright everyone, I know HSM has been ruined by mankind with their stupid obsessions, but you know I am always a sucker for a professional musical. SO, when I was invited to go to High School Musical on TOUR I gave in and went with my friend Sami. Yes, there were some stupid parts, but all together it was actually pretty good! We sat on the 11th row! Anyhoo, the dancing was great, and the wasn't too painful, so i wont be scarred for life or anything! It was fun!

Sam in the car...... she couldn't get control of her self.

Now she is hitting herself......

This is the program

OH! Here Trevlyn, this was a bag we made at camp!(I am sure you could do better, but,) You just use a tank top and turn it sideways. Then you cut out fabric, glue it on, and accessorize! This would be a great progect for you!!!

Girls Camp!!

So, this past week I went to Girls Camp!! WOOO! It was so much fun being there with my friends! For those of you who don't know what that is, Girls Camp is when all of the young women at my church, (12 & up) , camp out in cabins and have a lot of fun being together, learning survival skills, making crafts(I will post a picture of one of those for you later, Trevlyn!), playing games, and strengthening our testimonies. Our theme this year was "A hero lies in you" and each ward was a different superhero. We were SPIDERMAN!! It was really great, but my ankles randomly started to swell up! Isn't that weird!? Anyway, enjoy the pics!!!

Here is me doing our skit!!

A Beautiful World!

Warning: This post may be a little to mushy for those who do not talk about their feelings and why they appreciate different things and yadda yadda yadda!


Okay, so on Friday I decided I was going to go on a walk to the park and take pictures of the beautiful things I see! (I just got a PINK camera for my birthday!) I was just thinking about how much I am going to miss this pretty neighborhood when we move, even though the Texas hill contry is absolutely gorgeous! Anyway, the following are the two pictures that didn't get deleted when I combined the two files and said yes to replacing the same named nano pics like a retard and monkeys and bananas Edward is so shmexy........

These are in my front yard! I love the colors!

This cactus is one of the many that are planted

by the sidewalks on my street.

Soo... i took more but as I said in my rambleing sentence before, they got deleted! So I took some when I went for a picnc today under my favorite tree in our HUGE park! Adam was with me, and we took Hurky, too, so you will see them in the pictures as well.

This tree is so cool! It just makes me feel greatful for

the world God has blessed us with, and created for us.

Awww! Look at the cute poochie puppy doggie yes you are!

Hee hee! Wee were kinda looking into the sun! ;)

AAAHHHH...... (Me relaxing and enjoiying the cool breeze)

I like this one cuz it looks like I am posing for a CD cover ar something!

Have a Happy SUNDAY!

Devotional:

"[Paul C. Child] quoted from the Doctrine and Covenants, including section 18 concerning the worth of a soul, indicating that we should labor all our days to bring souls unto the Lord. He then turned to one elders quorum president and asked, 'What is the worth of a soul?'
"The stunned quorum president hesitated as he formulated
his reply. I had a prayer in my heart that he would be able to answer the question. He finally responded, 'The worth of a soul is its capacity to become as God.'
"Brother Child closed his scriptures, walked
solemnly and quietly up the aisle and back to the stand. As he passed by me, he said, 'A most profound reply.' "

I Suck as a Blogger...

Go ahead and say it... I know it's true. :) Ok, so first of all... I am 13!!!!!!! Yay!!! and here are picture of my party!






First, we all went to an improv comety show called Jesterz in Mesa! It was so much fun! We laughed really hard!! :)

After, we had a sleep over! Shuper fun!! :) :) :)

Second is that the last day of school was on Thursday.... it was depressing.... more info about that later, cuz i dont have the pics yet:)

Okay last thing is that I had a Bella moment..... (for those of you who have common sense and have read the Twilight books :) ) I was getting my bike out to ride it and I was turning it around to ride uphill. Basically it was too tight of a turn and the bike slipped ot fromunder me, and skidding across the road I went! :( My elbow is all skined up along with my nee, and I have two big briuses.

BRS! (blog real soon!)

"Your light has made a difference to me and many others. You have light because you are literally spirit daughters of Deity, 'offspring of exalted parents' (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed. [1966], 589) with a divine nature and an eternal destiny. You received your first lessons in the world of spirits from your heavenly parents. You have been sent to earth to 'prove' yourselves."
