I'm back!

I am finally back from a week of Girls' Camp. It was so much fun and so nice to get away from everything. Our theme this year was "Daughters of a King" and that we are all princesses. I really liked this theme. It was fun to have a "royal" theme, and it made me realize that I truly am a daughter of a king, my Heavenly Father. I didn't take my digital camera, but I took a disposable one so when I get the pics developed I will try to post them somehow. In the meantime, here is a pic of our camp t-shirt.

Baptisms for the dead

I am so excited this morning! I am going to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. I love doing it-it just gives me such a great feeling to be worthy to go to the temple, and also to be baptized for others who didn't have the chance. I love going with my ward, too. We are all so close, and we have a great time together. We always go out to eat lunch afterwards, and we just laugh and talk and have fun. I am so glad that I can go to the temple and just escape from everything in the world for the couple of hours that I'm there. The spirit is so strong there and it's a great experience for me.

Bad hair day; messy room :^0

I decided to try crimping my hair the other day...it didn't really work out. I took a picture just for kicks, and i realized how perfect it went with my super messy room. There were clothes all over the floor, my make-up was everywhere, i had pillows and beanbags on the floor, IT WAS A DISASTER! I kinda like this picture-especially since I'm not even ready yet and it was 11:00. That just goes to show how lazy i am during the summer! Why else do you think i love it so much?!?!? :^)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DADDY!

I love my daddy so much. I am a total daddy's girl, and he means the world to me. I am so thankful for him and all that he does for me and my family. Before we moved to AZ from UT, my dad had to move down here to start his new job while we sold our house. We ended up living apart for about 5 months. This was super hard for me, but I'm so glad that we are here now. In Utah, we had a dairy farm. I didn't get to see my dad a whole lot when we had the farm because he was always working on it. But looking back, living apart for 5 months was totally worth being able to see him a lot more now. I made him a card with a picture that i found yesterday. It was taken at my cousin's wedding reception in 2002, almost exactly 5 years ago. I was so excited to dance with him. I LOVE YOU DADDY!

Sebastian

I like to call him Seabass. This kid is my absolute favorite! He is such a sweetheart. His family moved, but a couple weeks ago they came back to visit and we watched him at my house for a few hours. He is just so dang cute! Here are some of my favorite pics:

I love the one of him doing the puzzle. This kid is so smart and i love how hard he's concentrating. Doesn't he have the sweetest smile ever?!?!?

WHAT A WEEK!

Wow. The past week has been pretty much...fabulous! I got back from Vegas Monday night, and since then I have not stopped! My week included: swimming, a water balloon fight, water kickball, Sonic, ice skating, more swimming, Fantastic Four (it's excellent-e, btw), Lake Pleasant, and chillin, chillin, and more chillin! I did so much this week it's insane! I am very satisfied, however. This week I learned how to knee-board at the lake, and I got a major workout. I walked back and forth between Ashley's house and my house and Fry's about a bajillion times. Needless to say, I'm TIRED. But i feel goooooooood. I had to put a pic on, so here's one of the other day when i took my hair out of a knot bun...pretty interesting. :^) Also, i got my hair cut-3 inches off!!!

More of Hilary and Ashley's adventures!

I went to Ashley's dance recital and we went to KFC. We took some pictures with George.

Micheal's...

Well, Ashley and I decided to go to Micheal's one day, and this is what we ended up doing: we played jungle in the fake trees, played dress-up in the feather boas, and took random pictures with whatever we could get our hands on. We even hid in a wall of flowers! AND... we didn't even get in trouble!!!!!!!!

Graduation

Here are some pics of my 8th grade graduation.

Vegas, Baby!

Right now I'm in Las Vegas...visiting my cousins! I was so excited to come and just chillax with everyone- whenever we come up here it's like one huge par-tay! Our traditions consist of staying in our pjs all day with no where to go, then staying up late playing cards, and sleeping in who-knows-how-late in the morning. These guys are my absolute closest relatives. We are so super close. When I lived in Utah, i hardly ever got see them, which made us even closer. My cousin Quinn and I(I can't put a pic on right now, i will later) are so close it's crazy. We are so much like brother and sister. We're about a year apart-he's younger, ha ha Quinn-and we have a blast together. He is coming back with us tomorrow and he's going to stay with us for a week!!! I am so freakin excited and i don't let anyone forget it. We have made plans for having "Mario Party Tournaments"(another tradition) and we're going to see the second Fantastic Four with my friends-YAY! This week is going to be insane-the perfect way to kick off an insane summer. I also have some pics of the latest crazy happenings of Ashley and me-Let's just say we got a little bored at Micheals...I can't upload the pics right now, I'll have to wait until i get home, but they'll be here! More to come...
