Eager/California

For the 4th of July I went up to Eager with Lexi, her family, and my friend Jessica Schmidt. We rode quads, went to the parade, ALMOST went into a dance (but we looked inside and saw only about 3 couples dancing so we left..), saw some fireworks, and went spotlighting/sightseeing! Its sad because lexi's extended family knows me almost better than my own!

Jess Lexi and I at Steven and Kelly's house in Eager where we stayed
At the parade on the 4th!

We found this going through the parade... a headless statue of liberty. I thought that this little town of eager was against America! we were all a little confused at first, but then we realized it had a mechanical head that would go up and down so it didn't run into the power lines.

We got bored one day and decided to walk to the school and play at the park! They had this really tall slide and old-school swings. The slide doesn't look big in the pictures but it was huge!






Lexi's dad woke us up at 4 in the morning one day to go up the mountain and look for elk and deer and wild horses (I wish we hadn's stayed up until 3....) But we saw this cute little bear! and of course lexi threw it some beef jerkey and honey on crackers so it came right up next to our car!

We got out and hiked a little bit to this really pretty waterfall!
Lexi's cousin had this cute little scooter and was nice enough to let us take it for a spin!

This weekend I went to California with Jessica, her family and Lexi. We went to 6 flags and the beach!

So im SOOOOO afraid of heights and deathly afraid of roller coasters, but I actually went on some. But I made a bad decision of going on Tatsu at the beginning of the day. I should have known when the sign said "Fly at the Speed of Fear". I learned my lesson. Actually it ended up being one of my favorites!

We went to mission beach on Friday and it was packed! there were people EVERYWHERE!! Since there wasn't much room in the water, they talked me into letting them bury me. BAD IDEA. I am still finding sand everywhere!
And of course...on the way home we got pulled over right around Yuma. It was pretty funny! since I wasn't driving. Luckily Brian was a cop so we got a warning!

New laptop!

I finally bought a laptop! I have been wanting to get one for a while and i finally found one that I could afford. It isnt pink or fuzzy (i wish it was), but it will get the job done. I need it for school in the fall because I am going to ASU! I went to orientation last week.. which was the longest day of my life. My mom and I even ditched the last couple hours. yep it was my first day there and my mom talked me into ditching already! haha but anyways I got registered and got a t-shirt that is too big and a maroon and gold pom poms so i guess it was worth it!

We went to a few really fun parties on halloween and i won my first pie eating contest! and i wasnt even full when it was over. whoever made the pie.. it was delicious!

Volleyball

Our season FINALLY started! our first game was on tuesday against cibolla and we killed them! but then on thursday we played the state runner ups from last year and got our butts kicked. their best hitter is already signed with ASU.. she was amazing! and then we had a LONG tournament on friday and saturday. we did pretty good on friday, so we were put into a bracket with really good teams on saturday. we didnt play that great on saturday.. lets just say we are all a little embarrassed. we didnt play horrible, but we could have played alot better. hopefully we can start playing like we know we can. We are all best friends and we all get along really good. were probably the craziest team! we always have fun. sometimes too much... our coach gets mad sometimes cuz we are always laughing and being crazy at practice. anyways.. im so excited for our season!!
CARRY ON!!
dog pile!
being weird..
our pyramid! that took us SOOO long to do. i respect cheerleaders alot more now.
Varsity! i love my team. too bad im standing like i have a hunch back..
at team camp.. our coach taught us to lay down and put our legs against the wall with our feet up since we were on our feet all day long! i dont really get why we were doing it haha
our team with coach mike! i dont know why its blurry!! its my only picture of us with him..im so sad!
there werent enough beds. so me and katie made our own bed. right next to the bathroom.. not a very smart idea. since everyone had to wake us up to get into the bathroom.
me and katie trying to take a picture while we were in the air but we were a little late. i just thought we were in funny positions..
most of our team taking wiggles!
wow we were CRAZY that night!! you probably cant tell but i threw up twice earlier that day.. haha
audrey, ashley, chelsea and kaitlin
more wiggles!
katie, lexi and jessica. i dont even know what they are doing..

Dances..

So i realized i havent posted for a really long time.. but my mom kind of took care of it by putting pretty much everything exciting about me on her blog. I dont have much to blog about because i do the same thing everyday. i have weight training in the morning from 6:30-8:30(where i realized im really weak and out of shape...), then i come home, try to take a LONG nap, and go to work! sometimes we have volleyball practice or something too..So my life is pretty boring! but i did forget to post my prom pictures! just remember i was sick.. thats my excuse for looking gross, even though thats not a good excuse!

so my face got a little covered by ron.. but i didnt mind! it actually made the picture look better!

me and jake
this is my morp group. i went with Nathan Smith! it was really fun! even though alot of other couples wore suns outfits.. ours were the best!!
