Tag-I'm it!

Alright, I have been tagged by Ann-Michelle. 6 random facts? Well, hopefully I can think of some.

1. I like to try new things. I don't like giving up, and I try my best to keep at things. (We'll see how that goes once school starts..)

2. I like to be funny, but hey, I'm only 15 and how funny can you be at 15?

3. Like Ann-Michelle said, I love to write stories. I like to just make up stories and put them on paper and hopefully one day, they'll be something more than that.

4. I really enjoy talking to my siblings and finding out how similar or different we are. I don't know why, but I really like hearing my older sisters' stories about when they were growing up and how things were for them.

5. I like to make No-Bakes. The first summer we lived here in I.F., I made No-Bakes like no other. It was fun, and since my mom has found little secrets to help perfect the recipe, I believe I make pretty good No-Bakes. :D

6. And finally...I like learning new languages. Preferably German, but, I don't know, it's just fun to me. It's really interesting to me.

OK, there we go. All the people I would've tagged have all been tagged, so I'm covered :) (Thanks Ann-Michelle!)

Thank you Elise!

Elise was generous enough to give me her old digital camera. Even though the LCD screen will probably never work again, it's still a camera. Here are some 4th of July pictures I took while we were at the park.

This was Me, Kristie, and Thomas. Tom was just making funny faces.

This is Gordon, Thomas, Brynn, and Graham in their cute little outfits.

Todd Freed was throwing Gordon and Brynn in the air. I wasn't able to catch their highest position, but the pictures still turned out cool.

And Finally...

Ann-Michelle had a really cute dress. I also like Elise's shirt and Mom's too.

Well, I took a bunch of other pictures, but (being that I'm new at the whole picture thing) I didn't put them all on. Well, thanks for reading!

I've been Tagged!

1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.


1) I love typing. I don't know why but, especially on laptops, I just love typing.

2) I like getting new mail, or comments, or emails, or messages. I personally think it's cool. But..who doesn't?

3) Taquitos! Ah yes, I love those little frozen things once they are cooked. Especially with sour cream! Yum!

4) I really love Milk Chocolate Symphony bars by Hershey. I can't even describe how much I love that candy.

5) I really enjoy running. Although I don't do it as often as I should, I really like running and the burn you feel after you've run for a while.

6) Beef Stroganaugh. Very Tasty!

7) I like writing. Actually, I love writing. Case in point-when I was in eighth grade my teacher Mrs. Aley had to tell me to cut down my writing because it was too much. :)

And finally...
8) I love climbing. When we lived in Washington, I used to climb trees a lot when I was younger, but I don't climb as often now. I still like it though :)

Almost There!

Alright, quick update. There's only 12 days until I get me Driving Permit. 22 days until we go to Oregon, 27 days until I go to California, and finally, 62 days until my 16th birthday! Yay!! So, I know it's a little late, but I'd like to say happy birthday to: Elise (June 19th), Ann-Michelle(March 28th), Todd Flatland (February 14th), and Caitlan (January 16th). OK, maybe not a little late, maybe way late. Sorry! But anyways, Happy Belated Birthday and I hope you all are enjoying your summers!

Work in Progress

I'm still working on my blog..My link list is small, but I'm working on it. :) My summer is going well. Yesterday I got up to 50 mph on my drive. That was really scary but a little fun..all at the same time! I've had a chance to actually have a life now..talking to old friends and having fun times. It's great, I must say. So news for the day: My cousins who live in Florida are coming to visit tonight...we hope. They're driving ALL the way to Alaska!! Whew! But it'll be fun if we get to see them...it's been like 6 years now!!! Ok, well I think I am done with this post, thanks for reading!! :)

Man, was that embarrassing?

Alright, so today (like every other day) I went for a float at noon with Erin from next door. We were done in the canale so we were headed down the road to her four wheeler..when it happened. So here's the background. I've known my friend Logan for the past 3 or 4 months now. He went to Tennesse for the week so yeah...So as we were walking down the road, I saw this kid who was talking and looking exactly like Logan. So what do I do? My first instinct is to run up and say hi. No, instead I yell, "LOGAN!!". As it turns out, it was NOT Logan. I can laugh about it now..sort of but still, I was very embarrassed. Thanks for reading! :)

Wow, what a burn

This is the closest color I could find that looks like my arms. So here's the story. My friend Erin and I decided that (and Caitlan) it would be fun to have a float at noon. We will float down the canal on inflatables and soak up the sun, literally ;). Yesterday, Caitlan went to Pocatello so Erin and I decided to still float, but then lay out for maybe 15-20 minutes. We got to talking and before you know it, it had been an hour. I was still glowing, due to my un-tan skin. We didn't realize this until after we got inside, but we were fried. I didn't think it hurt too bad because I have been constantly putting Aloe Vera on the burns but man, this morning was not pleasant!! So here I am, a crisp little critter hoping for a tan :)

I'm lacking on creative title names..

Wow, time really flies when people come to visit. These past 4 days my grandma Nonny and grandpa Bob came to visit us. We enjoyed their company. Driver's Education starts in a week from tomorrow!!! Oh my goodness am I happy. Gas prices are still going up so getting my hours in might be a little tough. So guess what? 3 more months until I'm 16!!!!! Yay!! Also..Elise is having another boy!! We are all so excited! Well you already know my summer..so hmm... Oh! The Twilight movie is coming out December 12, 2008!!!!! I am super excited. It looks so good. I've only seen the trailer 20 BILLION times. Heh heh heh. Anywho, I guess I'll add a photo just for the fun of it.

..Little Notes..

I must say that today, as I was 'blog surfing', I had a very good time reading the several comments my sisters have left for my sisters....does that make sense? Anyways, I realized what a funny family I have. I was more excited about writing this post until I just realized seconds ago, I really have nothing to say on the subject...so I'll switch. Summer has officially begun!! And boy am I exctied! Well, first I will be going to Girl's Camp. Then, the following Monday, I will be taking the course of Driver's Education (that's right...I'll be driving :) ). Then 10 days after D.E. is done, we will be heading up to Oregon for the annual Buck Reunion. Right after we're through with that, I'll be flying down to Sacramento, CA for some more fun. And when I come back after 2 fun weeks of California sun, School will only be a matter of weeks away! Whew...now that I type it, I realize how much I'm actually doing! This summer fun all begins June 11th. Fun, fun. Well thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your summer as well! :)

Update

So school is almost over! May 22nd is my last day of being a sophomore. Wow. I can't believe I'll be a junior next year. It's so weird because, being the youngest in my family, being a junior in high school seemed really old. Now that I'm here, I don't feel so old. I remember being a little kid and wishing so bad I had big books with homework to do. Ha, those were the days. Well, sorry my life isn't more exciting. Thanks for reading! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

This blog will be totally and specially devoted to all the mothers in my life. To start off, there's my mother. I like to call her my little mom. She is very special to me. She's always helped me through the best and the worst. I can't remember a time when she hasn't been there for me. There aren't enough words to describe her so I guess I'll move on. The next mom is my sister Elise. I know she isn't my mom, but she is a mom. She is a really great sister and I love her very much. I love going to Logan to visit her because she is such a good example to me. Next in line is Ann-Michelle. Wow. She has a lot of tolerance, if I've ever seen it. 4 under 4 is her status. I just think that takes a lot of skill to handle those kids and do a good job, which she does. She is also a great friend to me. I thoroughly enjoy hanging out with her when I get the chance. I love each and every one of the mothers in my life and they are great examples to me. :)

Update

So I'm in Utah right now using Elise's cool new computer, which is awesome by the way. My mom ran a marathon (half) and I am very proud of her. We ate at two fabulous restaurants. One in Provo and one at the Gateway in Salt Lake. Oh and a side note-Ann-Michelle, Caitlan, and Jacob ran the half marathon too, props to them. So in Provo, we ate at California Pizza Kitchen. In Salt Lake we ate at Thaifoon, which was very good too. So yeah, that's pretty much it! Happy spring :)

Just a Picture

Even though I need help, I thought I would show off my talent in the one thing I know how to do!

Help!

Well for starters, I changed my blog layout. Ok, but I really need help! How do I put people's links to their blogs on my page? Everyone in my family has it and I don't. So therefore, I need HELP!!

Quick Update

So we are currently in California visiting my grandfather, "Poppa". It is so beautiful here! The skies are a pure blue and the sun is warm! Not too warm, though. It's a shame that we have to leave so soon. We got here last night (Wednesday) and we have to leave on Saturday! :( Anywho, that is my quick update! I hope you enjoyed reading this post!

So Second Trimester at my school officially ended today!! I am super happy!!! Finally, NO MORE P.E.!!! That class was pretty boring. So my brother is job hunting, I hope he gets one soon, that would be good for him! Well this is a pretty short post. I guess I'll add a picture....

This is Nest..the cutest puppy in the world!!

Well this week has been interesting. Tuesday after school I tripped on some ice and sprained my ankle. So Tuesday night, all day Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I was given the wonderful oppurtunity to use crutches. My ankle is all better now, but for the time being it was fun to hobble around school. Elise- I finally get why you said mom should make me cook dinner. Well I still wouldn't know what to fix. :) That's all I have for now. Happy Late Valentine's Day and have a wonderful Presidents Day Weekend!

Update

So I have officially completed my first tag. Yay! Wow Ann-Michelle, that was a long one! So Saturday was Todd Flatland's birthday party, that was fun. Earlier that day Ann-Michelle and I hung out for a long while. We had fun going through baby clothes, (finding absolutely adorable outfits) waiting forever in a restaraunt, filling out birthday reminder things, and getting all wet from the slush (yuck!). We did more than that, but that was an overview. It was pretty fun to have some bonding time, if thats what you would call it. So basically, my life isn't so boring after all! I think Todd's party had very cool decorations. Props to Kristie on that one. So I guess that's my update!
