quick update

im so excited! its officially Christmas time! this time of year makes me so happy! now an update of whats been going on with me. so after cross country ended, i tried out for basketball. i made the team!!!! its been super fun and im definitely improving. Thanksgiving was on thursday. my family came over and ate food. we've been out of school for a couple days...i dont know how im gonna get used to being in school again. we were only out for 5 days but it feels like longer than that! i want to add pictures but i really dont have any cuz my camera is broken. so yea thats whats been happening with me!

cross country is over!!

time has been going crazy fast!! its already 2nd quarter! where did it all go? cross country is over!!! im happy yet sad. it was super fun, challenging and i got to be with my friends! i did pretty good during this season. The best place i ever got in a race was 8th place. we had our city meet last friday i got 21st (my lucky/fav #)!! there was like 150-200 girls racing against me, so i thought that was pretty good. of course it all wasnt fun and games. on our last meet before city, my friend heidi accidentally tripped me and i scraped my knee pretty bad. blood was gushing everywhere and i jammed my toe. it hurt. if i would have seen myself trip it would have been the funniest thing ever!

thats my shoe with all the blood on it. and the finger is my friend brittanys!
so yea its been pretty exciting. but now it is over.... sad day!! now i get to try out of basketball!!!!

I haven't posted in awhile now. I'm really bored right now so I decided to I would post right now. I recently got back from girls camp!! it was a fun and spiritual experience! i brought my camera to take some pics but i didnt take any until the last night there. Here are all the girls and YCL's in our cabin:

summer activites of me

SO. i've been dreading to post cuz its gonna be a long post. so last time i said i finished musical theater. the next week i started basketball. it was pretty fun and ended to quickly. that friday, june 19th, we left for kansas.

In Kansas, we had a blast! we swam one day, went to kansas city the next, and another day we went boating on the private lake my sister tracie lives on! we went tubing and knee boarding. i accidentally broke their knee board. whoops.... it was awesome! in between all that we went to baseball/softball games for my nephews and neice. it was so hot and humid out there! we also saw the movie up. it was so funny! all in all, it was an unforgetable time!

when we got back from kansas i was pretty bored. it was the first time that i actually didnt have anything to do that week . for 4th of july we went to my cabin. i brought my friend celeste with me. we went to the parade and rodeo in eager/sprierville, az. it was pretty cool.

now im back to doing nothing. i'll post pics from my kansas trip later! happy summer!!!

musical theater fun!!!!!!

so like i said ive been in musical theater for the past 2 weeks! it has been a blast. but the sad part is that when everyone is friends and having a good time....it ends! im gonna miss everyone that i met! im gonna miss waking up at 6:30am every morning for it. actually i wont miss that but still.

we had our performance saturday night at mesquite jr high! there was a nice turn out and it ended out well. we presented flowers to our teachers, one of them is my aunt and the other is her daughter. the teachers were awesome and they deserved the flowers they got. the sad thing is that this performance might have been the very last one. my aunt Linda is going on a mission to gauna, africa and 2 of the other teachers are retiring. that leaves my cousin angela to teach it by herself next summer. hopefully she will find some more teachers!

anyways...back to the performance, we rocked it!! i wish i would have had someone take a video... i barely managed to take a few pictures....



this one is of me and my cousin connor. i was supposed to be smiling but i got a little sidetracked talking to someone else. whoops!




this is kasey! it was so cute, she was crying at the end of the performance! you gotta love her!




hahaha this one is funny. this is jared. im related to him some how. funny kid...




thats me and connor again. we got cut off though! then ashlynn popped in! she's 10 and so cute!

well those are the pics that i got. i wanted to take more but there was no time. i didnt get any pictures of my awesome cousins braelyn and audrey!! we seriously had such a great time! if there's musical theater next year i will be the first one to sign up!!

what ive been doing
