Hello friends! :)
I can't wait to start using this!! Kinda like my own personal journal-except a lot more efficient! I hope there is some kind of way to print all of this out so I can make a tangible journal of it one day!! I am so excited!
This whole week I have been babysitting for mom and dad while they were on their annual Charity Harley Ride up in Yellowstone National park! Yes, i held down the fort for an entire week! CRAZY. It's been a blast! Can't say we have been extremely productive around here, as it has been kind of nice taking a bread from what I call the "constant state of panic" this house functions under.(I think I've watched more movies in the past week than I have this whole year). Mom did give us some jobs to do around the house while she was gone on her trip; painting the huge fence along the side of the house, watering, planting plants around the new pool, and getting the house ready for a wedding reception Mom committed to host at our house in a couple of weeks (hence the panic to get everything done and in perfect condition). Always something to do, NEVER boring, and never quite! But I love it and I can't wait for Dad, Mom, and Abby to get home later tonight! Abby was at Dive camp up at BYU for the whole week and ended up in the hospital Thursday night because of stomach aches from the lack of gluten free food I'm sure she had to choose from. She is all right now!!
It was a blast getting everyone up bright and early for church today...
I'm not used to getting Owen dressed for church since Dad usually takes that over, so it was a bit of a struggle trying to figure out what he was supposed to wear and where his shoes were etc... We did survive church though! DIdn't even have to take owen out of sacrament meeting! I need to get started on dinner- lemon chicken and pasta!! YUM! I love cooking and don't know why I don't do it more! It's kind of nice trying new things instead of mom's dishes that she rotates through (that are absolutely delicious don't get me wrong). I made a headband today out of an old shirt that I cleaned out of my closet that no longer fits me!! I love it! Pinterest inspired :)
Tomorrow is my birthday! and I can't believe it! 17!! :o one more year until I'm off to college.... not sure how I feel about it yet..
Dad and I are going wakeboarding early in the morning and then Hayden and Dallin are taking me out for a birthday breakfast! Payed by them and everything.. AMAZING! Most likely payed for by Dallin since Hayden is so up tight with money haha (not necessarily a bad thing!) After breakfast Sterling asked to take me to lunch! I hope Mom and Dad don't mind me being gone for the beginning of the day!
I think I found my birthday present.. Mom is absolutely TERRIBLE at keeping my presents a secret. TERRIBLE. She either tells one of the girls who always end up telling me, or asks/hints at what I'm getting! This time she called me while she was in Utah saying she was looking at new cameras since i told her the one we have for family use is a little bit outdated. (I have recently become extremely interested in photography). She asked me to research a camera one of the sales men was trying to sell her and told me to get back to her by the end of the week so she could go back to the store and buy one. I researched the cameras yesterday and called her to tell her which one to invest in. A couple hours later Erin brought in the mail with a huge box from target, I told her to open it thinking it was was some new plates mom had ordered (that's what the twins thought it was). Anyway we open it and Erin pulls out the camera mom and I had discussed earlier in the day! I just stood there.....and said "yeaup! that's definitely my present!!!" I am so excited! But still really bummed out that I will have to act surprised tomorrow after she gets it all wrapped up. I had erin go put it in her room and told the twins not to tell mom I saw it! I asked mom later that day about which camera she decided to get... She said she still had to go back to the store and get it! hahaha NICE TRY MOM!
