Morp

2008-03-22T16:05:00.001-07:00

Okay, so once again it took me forever to do some updating. But hey, I needed something exciting to put on here right? Last night was Morp, this is the girl ask guy dance before Prom; Morp is Prom backwards. It was one of the funnest nights ever. We had 7 couples: Me & Cal, Casey & Nick, Maggie & George, Michelle & Chris, Kathy & Drew, Tara & Alex, and Brooke & Trevor. We started off at Maggie's house with the Cro-lympics by playing ultimate croquet and some other random game. Then we had a barbecue for dinner and following that we had an awards ceremony. We had just gone and gotten some funny awards from the dollar store, so it was great. It was also Kathy's dad's birthday so we went and surprised him and sang him Happy Birthday. We still had some time to kill before the dance so we just hung out outside Kathy's house then we went over to Michelle's house and played a game call 'Imagine If...' and it was hilarious. We played in couples and Cal & I kept getting the most random ones that took a lot of thinking...not so good when I am not very creative. Then we headed over to the dance and danced for a little bit and went to get in line for pictures, it took about an hour waiting in line and doing the group and singles. After that we went back to Maggie's house and made parfaits(ice cream, fruit dessert) and watched 'Mulan.' It was so funny because all of us could pretty much quote the entire movie. We finished about 12:15 and took the guys home and went to sleep, it felt so good. Sorry, I only had my camera during the games so that's all the pictures that will be on here until I get some more from my friends. Kathy & Drew inside Maggie's house, awaiting the rest of the couples Cal hitting the ball to the first hole As we were setting it up we had found a dead bird, so during the game Chris picked up its skull with a stick and was showing it off Casey & Nick with their mallet Chris found a pink jump rope so he was trying to pick up everything with it Kathy & Drew decided to play some stick pole.... Maggie & George after they finished the game Lets just say that Cal was making weird faces the entire night In Maggie's basement their play area is like a castle so we were having fun in it. Kathy went inside and was sticking out of the window Nick found the seat inside the castle Cal & Chris were trying to decide if they should go in or not Drew was a little too tall for the door way Chris was mediating in the castle seat Cal & I at the awards ceremony

In November Timpview took State once again. We played against Mountain Crest and we won about 51-6. It was amazing. Erin and Kim before the Football Game I took the ACT on December 8th and got a 21! I was excited about that score because I didn't study at all or take any prep classes or tests so that was a miracle. Then came Christmas Vacation. I needed it so much. Pretty much all we did was spend time with our family playing games, playing with our new puppy, and seeing movies. Then on New Years Day we went up to Soldiers Hollow and went tubing it was fantastic. Erin at school before Christmas break Dad made a ginger bread house, he was very proud of it We went and saw 'Alvin and the Chipmunks,' it was hilarious Last week Sarah and Madison came for a visit and Jon, Cristina, and Austin came back for school. So on Sunday they came over for dinner and to play. Austin and Madison discovered that they could climb into the bath, they kept themselves entertained with bath toys for about an hour Maddie just loves to smile, isn't she so cute? Austin found the Little Mermaid mirror and was laughing histarically every time he looked at himself in it Nikki with our new puppy: Koda Austin and Koda were having fun with the Nativity pieces

Sadies

2007-11-13T18:49:00.000-08:00

Last Friday was Sadies, and it was just a blast! The couples were: Annie & Kirk, Casey & Chris, Kathy & Drew, Caitlin & Collin, Lacey & Mark, Mary & Cassidy, and Michelle & Nick. We started out with dinner by having Cafe Rio Salads at Caitlin's house. We then went to the Seven Peaks Ice Arena and went Ice Skating. The guys were all good and it took us girls a little while to get the hang of it. Only four people fell, first Kathy, followed by Chris who ended up needing Kirk's help to get back up, then Lacey, and last Caitlin. Then we went to Kathy's house for Hot Chocolate and we sat and talked for a while. We then proceeded to the dance in the commons which was a lot of fun. Our other friends were there so we were able to see them with their dates and hear what they had done so far. After being there for about an hour and dancing lots of fast songs and four slow ones, we decided to head back to Caitlin's house for pictures. Kathy's dad came over and took them for us which made it a lot cheaper and a little less awkward then being at the school. After he had left we still had some time until we had to take our dates home so we went downstairs and played Mad Gab and watching a little TV while just chatting about random stuff. We left Caitlin's around ten to midnight and took all our dates home. I would have to say that it was a very successful and entertaining date. It was just so fun! This is me and my date Kirk. Wow, I can't take good pictures...oh well! And I guess Caitlin's dad just couldn't stay out of the picture. Hehe. Kirk, Casey, and Chris tried to see who could pull off the best picture with a chip..who do you think is the best? Chris was pretty much making everyone laugh hysterically, he was being so funny! Wahoo! Kathy and I... with Kirk trying to sneak into the picture, lol. All the guys at the Ice Arena. Oo La La! All the girls at the Ice Arena. Aren't we cute? Me and Kirk Kathy and Drew Casey and Chris Group shot sitting on the stairs. Group shot standing on the stairs.

It has been awhile...

2007-10-26T19:08:00.001-07:00

Well, it surely has been awhile since the last time I did a real blog. The term just ended, and because of that, no homework! Which means, that there is time to do a blog. About 2 weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth out by Uncle Paul. It was just the best time of my life let me tell you. Sorry no pictures though, Dad did get one on his phone of me and my wonderful ice packs, but I think thats it. The weekend before Conference I asked someone to Sadies, yay! I'm so excited and our theme is Disney couples. Wahoo! Over Conference weekend Dad, Mom, Brandon, Erin, and I went up to the Alpine loop and drove around and then stopped and went for a little hike. It was fun, but I definitely wore the wrong shoes. :) And of course, if you know me well enough, I had my camera at hand at just found the most wonderful places to take some pictures. Look at them and tell me you don't agree that it was beautiful up there. Erin and Brandon in the lovely tree. We call it..... 'The Sling-Shot' Mom and Dad....How cute! This was such a pretty spot and I couldn't let it go unnoticed, so I had Erin stand in front and it just turned out gorgeous! Well I took this picture, and afterwards, Mom and I just fell in love with it. It looks like those professional Autumn pictures, don't you think? Erin is riding her tree-horse. Doesn't she just look like a horseback rider? Brandon is just such a model, goodness! This pictures is just priceless. They're even holding hands! Ahhhh! Can anyone tell me which dance Erin is doing? Because I don't even know! Oh, and there's Brandon doing his accounting homework. Wahoo! Wow, um....Scary! She's weird I know. Oh, and Erin's birthday was a week in a half ago. She turned 15, oh no! This is the cake that Mom made. Yes she made it from scratch, and then she, Erin, and Kim frosted it. It was so good too! And if you look really close in the back you can see my wonderful Uncle who was so kind enough to knock me out with a hammer and take my wisdom from me! Oh how I love him! :)

Marysvale

2007-07-30T09:52:00.000-07:00

In June my family and I went to Marysvale to go four-wheeling. While we were down there we stayed at the Jones cabin. This is our friend the deer who would come to our cabin every morning. That rectangular black thing is the welcome mat to the porch!! We went out onto the front porch to see what she would do and she came closer. Same reached his hand out and she came up and touched him!!! We would leave around 8:30 in the morning and it was still a little cold but when we were riding home it was really really hot! Sam and I would ride together sometimes but I usually rode with Dad. On this cliff was the only place that Dad had cell phone service so of course he had to call his work and tell them he was in the middle of nowhere and standing on a cliff!! Here's Mom and Dad with the beutiful forest and hills behind them. The views from the mountains were absolutly amazing!! After we got back from fourwheeling there was still a lot that we could do. There was a playground, a basketball court, and teatherball. The neighbors dog even wandered over one day and played fetch with us. If we threw it in the river she would just jump right in it but she wouldn't let us come closer than 2 feet from her. We stopped in this meadow to eat. It was really pretty. We had a great time together as a family!!! We saw this sign and just had to get a picture of it. We went to wehere the mine was but couldn't go down the road that goes right to it but we saw it from a distance. We saw a lot of mine sights and even got to go into an old house that a mining family lived in. This is at the top of one of the mountains we rode on. This is me driving the four-wheeler around by the cabin!! This squirrel and some chipmunks chewed a hole in the box that the bird seed is kept. Every day we would go check if the squirrel was in the box because if we came around he would just hide in the box. This is one of the chipmunks that were always around the box. Usually there were about 5 running around. The squirrel was really fat! We stopped to eat lunch here and skipped rocks in the lake. After we got back in the afternoon we were exhausted. Getting ready to go home. Right when we were leaving these peacocks came into the yard. Two of the boys were fighting one was just following and the girl was off doing her own thing. It was a lot of fun to watch.

July

2007-07-27T14:31:00.000-07:00

Oh wow has it been forever since this thing has been updated... At the beginning of July we had our Horne Reunion, so much fun! Nikki had updated on that so I won't go into so much details. She has also gone into details of the Call Reunion from July 14-18, so no real details there but there are pictures! To start, our Call family has this new obsession. It is a game called Ladder Ball. This is Nikki about to throw the golf balls onto the ladder. This is Jeffery just looking at the camera during the game. (He loves to wear them around his neck, is it good luck or something? I don't know) On our way out of Afton we took some pictures. Jeff and a Indian. Lets just call him Steve. Dad and Mom sitting on the bench of Afton WY. Jeffery and his dagger. He only had to fix it once or twice, but it became his best friend while he was in 'the wild.' He even caught sap with it! Andrew and Peter on the amazing hammock. Why they are laughing, I do not know. Andrew didn't believe that I could wake up at 4:30 in the morning. So I decided to prove him wrong. I set my alarm and took a picture of Erin. On my camera it says that it was taken at 4:32. She refused to get out of bed to go and knock at Andrew's window. Stephanie and Hannah on the day that we were leaving. So cute! Erin on the way home from Idaho. She was trying to dance.

Boating!

2007-05-26T13:49:00.001-07:00

Yesterday, Erin & I went boating along with some of our family and friends. It was really fun, and Devin was doing amazing! As always, there are pictures for your enjoyment! Doesn't Erin just look fabulous?! Erin & Kanyon went wakeboarding together, they didn't even crash! Look at Erin go! Look at Devin go, isn't he just amazing?! Kanyon could jump, just not as high as Devin.

Denver

2007-05-17T14:36:00.000-07:00

This is our field trip to Denver, Colorado!! We went to wicked and had a blast!!!! It was amazing!! We went and did baptisms for the dead at the Denver temple. We tried to get a picture of all three of us but we kind of cut out my mom's head!! We ate lunch at the park before we went to the zoo. This is at the entrance to the zoo. There were ducks all over the zoo. These were some of the ducklings. Animals lay in wierd positions. I don't know how they can stand it! The arctic fox. They are super cute!! This is the bat-earred fox. They can hear a beetle that is 12 inches underneath the ground! There were peacocks all over the zoo. They were really loud too. What a funny sleeping position!! Right before they fed the lions. They are all looking up at the trainer or someone right before he throws the meat down for them. We could tell that something was going on but we couldn't tell because all we could see was the lions looking up. This is one of the lion cubs eating his meat. Another cub eating. There were a lot of big snakes. I don't know if you can see it but the giraffe's tounge is black! Can you find the chameleon?? This is only half of the fish. It was gigantic!! This is a piranha. They were kind of creepy because they just sat there and looked at you. They didn't move or swim around or anything. Here are the alligators. They were being really lazy. One of the polar bears was swimming and would just go in a big circle and try to coax the other polar bear to come swimming with him. The polar bear that didn't want to swim kept backing out then going back into the cave where the door to inside is. This is how tall I am compared to a polar bear. Monkey rock I love penguins they are so much fun to watch and they are tiny!! 2 bears were orphaned because of humans. One's brother was killed by a human and the mother abandandon him and the other his mother was killed. He has HUGE claws!!! This is the other bear that was orphaned. I think monkeys are so cute!! These are the lemurs. They have the funniest looking tails you have ever seen!! Do you think that looks comfortable?? I don't. He just sat there the whole time. He had a really really big face too but I don't know if you can see it very well in the picture. I love orangutangs they are so funny!! The gorillas were very fun to watch. The ones inside were funny. The mom gathered up all of the celery then climbed up to eat it and her baby crawled over to her and tried to get some from her. He tried and tried but she wouldn't give him any. It was pretty interesting!! There were tons of flamingos. This is my mom (left) and Tammy Howard (right) trying to hide their noses from the sun!! These are the hippos sitting in the mud. There are 2 of them. On our way out we went by the hippos again and they were out. This one was eating and the other is in the water This is the elephant. There was another and it was playing with a barrel thing but when we went over to take the picture it stopped doing it so we got this one instead. Aren't Cheetahs so pretty?? Can you find the Cheetah???

Rock Climbing

2007-05-16T14:41:00.000-07:00

So, last night, Erin, Devin, Kanyon, and I went rock climbing. It was so much fun. It was my first time, and it was pretty interesting. Erin is pretty much a pro, just look at her. Anywho, below are some pictures from the fun night. This is the wall that we climbed/repelled. Erin just started heading down. Devin is climbing up the crack. Doesn't Erin look fantastic in that harness? Look at that good looking man! Kanyon is concentrating hard before climbing. Kanyon climbing up the mountain. Who's that? Oh, its me! Look at that BEAUTIFUL view! Erin and I after the climb.
