Fulford weekend

      We are so very attractive

      Brock loves abby so much

      Again, so attractive 

      These are my favorite people in the world: Makenna, Mason, and Brock

For thanksgiving we went down to the Fulford's house. The Ackerman family joined us. Of course, I overrate because we were at Traci's and no one can starve there.  I mostly loved the cousins, food, Barbie movies, and dancing. We went to the carousel and rode it three times.  Abby loved it went she got on and cried when she got off.  It was great to see how much Brock loved abby. He would always smile at her and talk to her in the sweetest voice.  Makenna, Mason and I made a dance one night and practiced it at least 40 times. We watched Fozen in the movie theater, it was so funny and cute. As always Fulford weekends are the best.

Some of my favorite quotes

My Conference notebook made at mutual.

I love conference weekends. It's a time to spend with family, hear the prophet and councilors, and get questions answered.  This year the Ackermans came up to listen with us.  My favorite talks from this years conference were President Deter F. Uchdorf and President Jeffrey R. Holland. I love our Prophet andthe councilors and can't wait to hear them next spring.

Got to Love Kendon

In school we have spirit week the week of Homecoming. For everyday of that week the student council chooses things for us to dress up for. Today was Disney day. Kendon and Brooke were going to go as Ursula and Aerial. Brooke backed out so that left Kendon as Ursula. It was a great experience watching him get makeup on. Morgan put on eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, and lipstick. We stuffed leggings with blankets and tied rubber bands around the ends for the tentacles. He wore Morgan's scrub shirt and we found a seashell with a hole and tied a ribbon on it. We spiked the hair and sprayed white hair spray in it. We got a good laugh out of this, and we are hoping it gets put in the yearbook.

References we used.

Bear Lake

    We had a bit of a mud war in the water.

      What gymnasts do at the beach.

We went to Bear Lake yesterday, for something fun after the first week of school that wore everyone out. Morgan and mom spent the time relaxing on the beach while Josh, Brooke, dad and I went in the water. Brooke and I later did gymnastics on the beach. It was nice to get out, play, swim, and relax after a stressful and hard first week. Thank you to dad for getting us there for a fun day.

Hiking

 So we went hiking Little Mountain. It is a mountain in Franklin that is called Little Mountain. It was great but a huge workout. My favorite thing about hiking is the top. The hiking is hard but getting to the top makes it worth it. Looking at the view and looking down to see what you just climbed. It is a great feeling of accomplishment.

School Is Here.

So school started yesterday. Summer seemed to go by so fast all of a sudden school just hit. 8th grade now, top of the chain of junior high. And now with the Common Core program things are changing and getting more tough. My classes are: 

First- science

Second- U.S history

Third- ceramics

Fourth- honors English 

Fifth- technology

Six- math core 8

I love honors English. It was a class made for students more excelled in English. I also like ceramics a lot. The hardest parts are waking up early and sitting for eight hours. But over all I like I like it so far. I'm also doing cross country after school. I'm not that good but at least I do it. The past two days we've done two miles (I'm at the back every time). So here's to a good 142 more days of school.

Soaking Up Summer.

Trying to soak up the last days of summer we went down to see the Ackerman's. So we traveled down to Roy to go swimming up there. We swam, ate pizza, watched Abby swim, and went down slides (even my dad went down the steep slide). Thanks to the Ackerman's for a fun day before school.
