Surprise!!!

Wow I have amazing friends!! I just turned 15 and they all threw me a surprise party!! It was a couple days after my birthday so I was not expecting it! So me and Sara usually do something on our birthdays but couldn't on mine. So Sara asked me if I wanted to hang out on Friday since we couldn't do anything on my birthday. So I got there and she takes me to her room and all of our 8th grade yelled SURPRISE!!! It so surprising that I just starting laughing! Then they all yelled Happy Birthday! I have never had a surprise party before and it was so fun!! Sara's amazing mom made pizza for us(thank you Heidi!) and we played Just Dance. We were trying to make a video to put on Facebook but something would happen every time we turned the camera on! Either someone would laugh or we would just mess up! It was hilarious!! We had LOTS of laughs and had a great time!! Apparently Sara called my mom and asked if it was ok and I had no idea!! Anyways thanks again everyone for a great party!

So many things!!!

Oh my goodness! I haven't even posted since school started!! Oh by the way, I love the high school!! Everyone is so fun! They are so enthusiastic! I have had a lot of fun so far! I am sure I will have a lot more fun too.  I love my schedule!! I have an easy class in between all my hard classes. It goes: Speech(hard but fun) choir(easy) algebra(hard) band(easy) and then reading which isn't hard yet, its just annoying. haha So there you have it! hard easy hard easy and annoying! haha Anyways me and Sara where talking about how fast this summer has gone! I had a really fun summer though. I was pretty much always doing something. My brother jade left for his mission at the end of july and we have been able to email him every Monday. That has been really cool for our family.
He is in Linden, Tennessee right now. I know what your thinking...Where the heak is that!!!? It is about 3 hours away from Nashville. He pretty much lives in the woods. haha he lives a little trailer in the middle of nowhere. He hasn't complained at all about anything! he loves it there!! He isn't even homesick at all.....yet:) well I will keep you updated on that! haha seeya!

A Day in the Life...

So, what's life like for a freshman in high school right now? I'll tell you. With school getting back into session, that means...(drum roll) Lessons!!!! Oh yes, lessons. The constant driving of my dear mother (I LOVE YOU!!!!!) back and forth around the beautiful little city of Rexburg. We have probably driven everywhere around Rexburg, that's why I appreciate it so much. The fact that we aren't a huge city, but yet, we continue to grow. It's a blessing. Really. But anyways, I start violin today, J.T. has guitar, and Cambelle has piano. Then, next week, I start ballroom, which I cannot even tell you how excited I am!!! Its going to be so much fun, but we will be busy. High school is a lot of work and I didn't realize that my only free time would be weekends, which I haven't even had because of the play. This week Sugar Salem Education Foundation is presenting Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat, and yours truly is one of 16 adoring girls, and I am going to be completely honest, we are really annoying in this play, but its going to be really fun. Come and support! Adults- $5 and Students $3. so the play and school has taken all my time, and the fact that right now I can be done with all my assignments and posting is a MIRACLE!!! I never expected school to be this strenuous. I haven't been completely pushed over the edge yet, but I know it will happen soon. So now what your thinking probably is that " Uhhh why does a freshman in high school have a computer?" For those not around here right now,(my relatives:), we just got laptops through a grant at Sugar Salem. It's been fun, but quite stressful for our technology department. Half of the school's computers didn't work for the first week, and so they had to figure that out. So now that you know my entire life story thus far:) nothing much else to say... Haha I love you all!! So far, doing pretty good on my promise. We'll keep trying!!! Love ya all!!!!!

1 Year...

Well, after a year of blogging, I have definitely learned a few things. One, I am really not very good at blogging. You know, after you start, it takes a while to realize that you aren't that great, and you need to do better. But, I'll get there. Two, that there are people in this world that are willing to look at two 14 year old girl's blog. I want to thank all of you who take time to just check up, even if it hadn't been updated forever!! And three, that I love to write. I love to get out in the world how my summer went, or how excited I was for school. So I will continue that, forever and ever.

Now, Tehya and I are in high school. Our first day was FULL of assemblies, rules, and you guessed it, TALKING!!!! I heard so much talking, I was beginning to miss Jr. High and the relaxation of it all. High school moves so fast, and if you don't look around, you'll get shoved into a wall. True story. I should know. But I have met so many new people who have become my friends. I am taking one class that I know will stretch me and I will have so many experiences. So I will keep you updated and thanks again for checking in.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!!!

Can you believe that the summer is almost over? I am in total shock, but at the same time, I am incredibly excited. High School is almost beginning, and I can't believe it. I got my braces off today!!!!! My teeth look awesome!!! Thanks to Elison Orthodontics!! After three years of appointments, elastics, headgear(which I never wore), and braces, my teeth are done!!!  

While school is getting closer, I am sad that our summer is almost over. Tehya and I were not able to hang out enough to satisfy us, but it was good. We have had fun together talking about what we are excited for, the new edition to our high school, and who our new friends are going to be.

If you haven't already been to our house this summer, let me give you a tour. We have been redoing our bathrooms since the middle of June, and they are finally done! Our kids bathroom is awesome! And my mom's and dad's is gorgeous!!!

Life is good where I am, and that's all I could ask for. I have a whole year ahead of me. Ballroom, violin, friends, high school, and life in general. I will be better at blogging this school year, and that's a promise:)

Kid-Bathroom

Kids-Tub

Mom and Dad- Cabinets

Mom and Dad- Shower

Here you are folks. Miss Sara (without braces!!!!!!)

Talk to you all later,

My 4th of July!!!

Wow! I really stink at this!!! I haven't posted forever it seems like!!! Anyways, I hope you all had a great Independence Day!!! Sara and I got to be in the parade for ballroom!!! It was SO hot!!! We walked and danced from Smith Park all the way to Porter park!!! I know it doesn't seem like that far, but when you are running, walking, and dancing ( and throwing candy of course) it feels like forever long!!!! haha That night my family and I went to rodeo. It was really fun! My brother had gone boating with our cousins the entire day until the rodeo!  He was there from six in the morning until about five  in the evening!!!! He was so tired and I have never seen a sunburn worse than his!!! He can barely walk! I feel so bad for him!!!haha So, I hope you all had fun!! See ya'!;)

Sorry!!! And Lots of changes!!!

Well, let's just say it. I have joined the community of lazy bloggers:) I am so sorry, I have been banned for quite some time. Man, have I learned my lesson or what? Anyways, so I switched my room around... again. Yeah, I got kind of annoyed  bored with the way things were set up. So, PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!! So you all know it as this...

It was changed to this...

And that is what it is now. Oh my I think I changed it around like three times. I finally just slept on the floor for a night because I didn't like where it was. yeah, it was bad. Anyways so Tehya came over and we moved it again.

And we played around and it took FOREVER!!!!

Ok, we caused it..

But we played around and had a good time and got it done!! Now here is a little look into where I got all my stuffs!!!

Bedspread: Walmart

Dresser: It was my grandparents. They bought it when they were first married. I love that it has a cute story:)

Jewelery Thing: Tai Pan

Picture: Ross

Mirror/ Frames: Ikea

Nightstand: Target

Chair: D.I.( Ok, so it was all of the colors you could ever dream of.  But after a little sanding and spraypaint, it was this lovely chair I use in my music corner! Wahoo! Go D.I!)

So, that is my room right now. We will check back into that in about 4 or 5 months:) See ya!

Oh my GOLLY!!!

I got three pair of colored jeans! I'm already ahead of Sara. I got orange, turquoise and purple!!! I love love love them!! My mom was so excited when we ordered them... not as excited as me of course;) Sorry kind of short today! Seeya later!!!!;)

Soooooo Sorry!

So sorry! I am not very good at this! Just a little bit about what is going on right now. Our HS boys basketball team went to districts! Wahoo!! Those games are the best! Especially ice cream and cake.... More later. Ummmmmmm... School is pretty good right now! Not much about anything else... talk to you later. Bye!

Oooowwww!!!!

Okay this is is pretty hilarious! So I was at Sara's house the other night . I was running down their hall. I got on the wood kitchen floor and I flat out biffed it! I had socks on so thats how I slipped. I jammed my toe on the wall and landed flat on my hip and hit my head on the wood floor!!!! I tried to laugh as hard as I could so I wouldn't start crying. It hurt so bad. I felt so stupid after so I just started cracking up. My toe still hurts and I have bruise on my hip! It sounds terrible but it was hilarious!!!!!(Life lesson; never run on wood floors!!!)

Wow!!!

Wow I'm SO tired of being sick! Ive been sick for about a month and a half now! It really stinks! Last night Sara and I went to the high school boys basketball game!!! Its was really fun! We had lots of friends there to talk to and cheer with!!! We won all three games. Good job boys!!! I was super tired when I got home last night. I had been standing and cheering for about three hours straight! It was crazy and super fun!

Christmas 2012 (and a happy new year)

So my Christmas went really well! I was super excited to come out to the living room and see all the awesome presents that were waiting for my siblings and I. But first, the dreaded code that Santa puts on our family's presents. This year it was the first letter of our first and middle names in number order (if that made any sense at all :) I got an iPod Nano, leg warmers, Floral pants, a grey sweater,( I think my mom was excited for that because now I don't have to borrow her sweater :), some sweats (YES!!!), my favorite cookies and some other stuff. It was a pretty sweet Christmas. I got J.T. some BB's for his airsoft guns. My dad got me the new Piano Guys CD and I was soooooooo stoked! I am sad that Christmas is over, but I am excited for the new year and a fresh start.

These are called HEAVEN with all caps :) BTW, don't get the fudge if you aren't a dark chocolate person but vanilla is awesome too!!

I love these jeans and how can you not?

I couldn't wait to take it out of the case so this is the picture of the box :)

   I am sad that Christmas is over, but I am excited for the new year and a fresh start.Happy New Year!

I....got....colored....jeans!!!!

Yes, and even though it is only one pair, I still got them. They are red and we had to shrink them so they could fit me. (Sad, huh?) I know that some who are reading this are saying, "What is the big deal? They are just skinny jeans." My story is that I wanted a pair for school, didn't have enough money, and went shopping the other day and found some for $7 dollars!!! These are the pair I got!!! 

I got them from Vanity!!!!
