My Crazy Summer :)

I haven't updated my blog for a while and I haven't even gone back and put what my earlier pictures were because I am having a busy summer. I LOVE it though!! So here is what I have been up to...

First, I got to go to Lake Powell for my first time EVER! Taylor Call invited me and Johanna to come and my mom wanted to go REALLY badly so she asked if she could come to "cook". haha We had soooooooooooooooooo much fun!

We went on a CRAZY hike one day! We had to hike in the blazing hot sun for probably two or three miles and then we got into the canyon where we had to squeeze through these crevices that I could BARELY fit through and they went everywhere! Then there was places where you had to put your back and hands on one wall and your feet on the other and you had to scoot yourself over a big drop! Then there was a place where there was a 40 ft. drop and you had to do the same thing with your hands and feet but scoot down instead. At the end, there was a ten or fifteen foot drop into a pool of water that was only about knee deep and then another drop into a pool that was about ten feet deep so we could cannonball into it and climb up to jump into the lake at the end. I was SO grateful I wore a wetsuit because I would have been SO scraped up if I hadn’t! It might sound dumb, but that day changed my life. I am normally a total wimp and I am not adventurous, but I did that ridiculous hike and LOVED it and just wanted to go on more adventures! My wakeboarding improved drastically after that and I was fearless! It was such a great feeling.



Did you know that if you rub a lizard's belly, it paralyzes it until you roll it onto it's stomach?? I learned something new :)



My next and most recent trip was to Arizona to stay for ten days with Shauna and her family. I did NOT want to leave!!

Shauna kept giving me advice about college, relationships, marriage, having kids, cooking, and much more! I loved every minute of it. She helped me decided what kind of person I want to be and how I'm ever going to make it through life. She helped me with my break-up with Broc and was just there when I needed her. Ever since I was a little girl I have looked up to her so much and she continues to amaze me. Thank you for being so incredible Shauna!!



I can't get enough of baby Kamryn! She is an angel in this home. She is seriously sent straight from heaven.




When I was putting Miranda's swimming suit on her, she looked down at her tummy and said, "I'm have a BIG belly!!" and she stuck it out as far as she could. It was SO funny! They both have little tummies that poke out :) I think they're cute




Miranda's constant question: "Can I'm color on dee ipod?" haha SO cute and practically irresistable!


We loved both of the frozen yogurt places :)


I cannot wait to see them again!!

Senior Cotillion 2011 :)

Broc asked me to Senior Cotillion on Thursday, May 5th (my half birthday lol)! It was funny because I was with Johanna and it was our first REALLY warm day all season so she was CRAVING Zeppes. Finally, with eight minutes left on the clock until the game was supposed to start, I gave in and decided to take her really quickly. When I was pulling out of the parking lot, I called Melissa to see if she wanted to come with us. She urgently said, "Has Broc talked to you yet??" I told her no and she freaked out at me! "YOU CAN'T LEAVE!! GO BACK RIGHT NOW!!" I wasn't sure what was going on so I just turned around and went back. Johanna was ticked, but there was a surprise waiting for me on my blanket I had left to save our seats. :)

So I decided to answer him back tonight at the last region soccer game by saying "You SCORED a date to the dance with me! You can add me to your list of shut-outs because I won't shut you down!" Rachael and her friends helped hold the posters and we screamed for him to look at the sidelines when we scored our first goal in the game! :)

State Solo and Ensemble


Yesterday was State Solo and Ensemble. I sang a soprano solo, O Mio Babbino Caro! I recieved a 1- which is a superior rating (a 1 is a perfect score). I felt like I sang it well and my mom kept going on and on about it. She loved it! I loved having her there with me. (I will recieve my scoring sheet tomorrow at school to see what they marked me down on though)




My Chamber Quire also went to State and recieved a 1!! Yay!! I'm totally going to miss Chamber when I'm graduated. I love it soooooo much.
