Girls Camp

     On July 17th was the day of girls camp. My cousin from Viet nam Aleah was coming and so was my mom and Brooke. We all drove up to Willow Flats, and then had lunch. They called out who was in who's tent. I think in my opinion I got the best tent mates.

• Brooke- my sister
• Aleah- my cousin
• Vanessa- my best friend and neighbor
• Kalli- my friend from school

     We set up our tent and put all our things in it. Our theme for this girls camp is "Go For The Gold." The leaders did the opening ceremony, then they said the rules. Because our theme is the Olympics each tent had to make a flag together to represent their team. Our team name was the Gold-i-Locks, it stood for Locked on the Gold. After we made our flags we made lanterns. To make them we got a glass jar and spray painted it white, then we put wire around it so you could hold it. Then if you wanted to you could put ribbons on the edges of the wire. Next we had the Olympic trials. First we did a scavenger hunt with teams. One of the things it said was "Find something that is a treasure to you." Our team ran to the bathrooms, someone was in the girls so we went to the boys and grabbed toilet paper for our treasure. Then we had to see who could kick their shoe the farthest. Next we had the javelin throw with straws. Then we had to hop one footed throw hula-hoops that were in the shape of the Olympic rings. We had some treats then went to bed. Vanessa was so hyper that night but it was a good thing because then no one could prank our tent because she scared them away. In the morning our tent was the only one that still had our flag up. We had hot chocolate and french toast for breakfast. For our girls camp shirts we tie died them. I did mine the palm tree way. Then we made trail mix for the hike, with pretzels, m and m's, raisins, peanuts, and cheerios. We went on the hike up to this fresh water spring. the water tasted so good and we were all so hot that we dunked our heads in and started drinking. We walked back and the laurels had this rotation activity for us. They did things like facials and this thing that gets dead skin off your hands. Then just to ruin all that the leaders had an obstacle course planned for us. First someone had to grab a balloon fill it up partly with water then hold it over the fire to pop. Then someone had to put 4 marshmallows in their mouth and say the young women values. Then someone had to dump whipped cream on someone's face and everybody had to through coco puffs on their face. Then someone had to lay down, and put a ice cream cone in their mouth. Next someone had to dump ice cream then chocolate then a cherry in the cone. My tent team won and we got gold medals. Once it got dark we had testimony meeting. Some girls that you would never think to cry did when they said their testimonies. Mine was my first testimony that was not little kiddish, and before I did mine I went over it over, and over in my head, but when I stood up it didn't come out like how I planned. After everyone was done we went snipe hunting. Then we went to bed. In the morning we ate breakfast then picked up camp. Once everything was done we drove back. Girls camp really changed me, It was so much fun and I loved it so much.

Fun day with Morgan

     Well to wrap everything up from forever ago, there was Abby's baby blessing. She was so cute in her dress, and she got to wear Makenna's baby blessing shoes. After that we had the Fulfords stay with us. We had lots of fun there. Now we have the Vietnam cousins staying with us. Yesterday Morgan was off work so we made a fun to do list with her, which was...

• Make Icies
• Get cute
• Paint nails
• Sidewalk chalk paint

So first Morgan got us all cute, then painted all of our nails. After nails my mom got back from Logan and gave me my new glasses.

Then we did sidewalk chalk paint. To make it you do 1 cup corn starch, 1 cup water and add food coloring. It is so cool you put it on as paint and it dries as chalk.

After that we did the icies. We have a maker for it and we have 3 flavors.

And today I am going to girls camp! With Brooke and Aleah!

A Whole Lot Of Family Time

     On the third we woke up at seven to go up to Rich field. All of my dad's side go up to the 4th every year. It took  a long 4 hours to drive up. We stayed in a hotel so we drove there first. Our hotel room was next to Alyssa, Dustin, and Abby's. Then we went to Grandma Harrison's house. We all hugged everyone then talked for a while. We had sandwiches for lunch. We just hanged out the rest of the day. At the end of the day all the more little kids went to the school park. Our family drove back to the hotel and slept. The next morning we went to hotel breakfast then got ready for the parade. All of us jumped into the car and drove to the parade. I almost got a whole bag full. We drove back to grandma's house and played light games. Most families left on the 4th but we stayed. We walked to go watch the fireworks. After they were done we walked back and did sparklers. We went back to the hotel and then left the next day. On the car ride my dad asked us if we wanted to go to the Barkers, so me, Brooke, and Josh went to stay there. When we first got there we had lunch then watched t.v. while playing risk. Me and Brooke tried to learn a song in Vietnamese that Aleah taught us. Jessie, Brooke, Aleah, and I all slept in Jessie's room. The next day we went to the  Payson pool. When we got back we all took showers. Then we had dinner. Brady wanted us to go play soccer so we did that. Once we got back from that we went straight to bed. The next day we had to go so we packed all morning then packed the car. We had breakfast then left. Then late tonight The Fulfords are coming then we are going to Abby's baby blessing the next day (but I'll write about those later.) 

Morgan's Birthday

     It is my sister, Morgan's birthday to day.  We forgot to hang up her signs the night before so we had to do it in the morning. She turned 18 and the most exciting thing to her about being 18 is that she can order dry ice. She wanted creamed eggs on toast for breakfast so we had that. After breakfast we did presents. During this time I put my new camera that I got from my birthday to good use.

And after that I worked on some of my gymnastics moves. Including the donut and the chest stand.

Plus after we got to eat the most carmely spot of the popcorn.

My Birthday!

     My Birthday was on June 21st. I woke up and there was signs that said happy birthday. Then I went to the bathroom and it had signs all over too. I walked up stairs and could smell my birthday breakfast cooking.         We had eggs and toast. I wanted to do presents after breakfast but we had to wait until Haylee got home from work. Josh, Brooke, and I went to Vanessa's. My mom couldn't find any chicken for the dinner I wanted so we went to school lunch instead. When we got back Haylee was home so we went inside to do presents. I got lots of things for crafts. I got some socks and jeans and a new swimsuit and skinny jeans. I got my own camera. There was a lot more things, but I can't remember all of it. We went back to play with Vanessa. Then at 6:00 we all got ready to go swimming at the Logan pool. Vanessa came over and we took her up with us. We played in the pool and went of the diving board. We were soaking wet the whole way home. I took a quick hot shower then had some hot chocolate. The next day we had my cheesecake. 

Lance and Birthday!

     I forgot to do it on fathers day but I want to tell my dad, I hope you read this beacause i'm not that good with saying it to you. I have to "say" it how i can, by writing. I think so far you have raised me well. I'm just going to say all the things I have picked up from you.

1. I did get some OCD from you. (if it makes you feel any better I don't have as much as you.)
2. I throughly think through scriptures like you.
3. I can't just stop when things aren't done.
4. I'm sorry to say I don't have as good talking skills as you, but I still got some from you.
5. I got your art skills.

     This may not be alot, but trust me I have a lot more skills i've gotten from you. I'm not really good with all the love stuff but here It goes, I love you.

     Anyway my birthday (June 21, summer solstice, first day of summer, longest day of year,) is tomorrow. I am so excited! I have had it all planned out since January. All I really want is lemons. For breakfast I want eggs with toast on grittle the good way my mom makes it. For lunch I want grilled cheese with the mini noodles we always have. For dinner I want fried chicken. For dessert I want cheese cake with raspberries. My mom is such a gem that she is already getting it all ready. I'm turning 12 and that means next sunday I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO PRIMARY! I'll kind of miss that place but i'm so excited to be done with all of it.


    

Some Abby Time

     Alyssa, Dustin and the baby came up on tuesday last week. They stayed for a while then I told my mom we should drive up tomorrow. Alyssa heard and said that I could drive up to Idaho Falls with them in their car. Josh wanted to come to so we both packed and put our stuff in the car. On our way we stopped at big J's. We all got smoothies to eat on the way. When we got there we went straight to bed. In the morning the Abby was making some noise in the baby moniter. Alyssa asked "who wants to go check on Abby?" I hopped right up. Abby woke up a little after. Alyssa fed her then I held her for a long time. Dustin made pancakes for us. We ate those then Dustin went to work. Josh and I held Abby the whole time. We watched t.v. until Dustin got back. Then we had chicken patties and noodles for lunch. We went to the store to buy frisbees. We drove to the park and tossed them. After a while me and Alyssa walked around while pushing Abby in the stroller. We talked and walked while Josh and Dustin followed us while throwing the frisbee. We went to get snow cones after that. We held Abby and Dustin rented 2 movies. Before the movies we got to help Abby get a bath. I got to brush her hair out after while she got wrapped up by the heater. We watched Journey To Mysterious Island. We even had popcorn. The next day we had breakfast and held Abby the whole day. Latter that night we helped Alyssa and Dustin clean this place they had to. The next day our mom came around 9:00 we watched Sherlock Holmes 2. I tryed to burp Abby twice but she kept wiggling so my mom had to do it for me. We left before Dustin came home. It was nice just to have 2 people instead of 8 people who want to hold her. So I got lots of Abby time.
