My birthday party

Since Mark was gone on my birthday he wanted to do something fun for my party. I told him I wanted to go into the mountains! So, we went up Provo canyon and then up past Sundance and had a fire and cooked hot dogs and had apple crumble. It was so much fun. I got great presents from everyone, Melanie, Chloe and Phil gave me a BYU hoodie jacket, Steph, Dave got me BYU socks and a shirt, Vance, Kirsty gave me the movie The Holiday and Ben, Mal gave me 27 Dresses. Mark got me hiking boots, a sleeping bag and a camle back. Tay picked out so cute earings!!! Mom, Dad and Dani are taking me shopping. Thanks everyone for a GREAT birthday!

Seven Peaks!

Every October our Bishop gives the youth and their leaders a "Bishops Challenge" You have about 6 months to: read the BOM, memorize and pass off the articles of faith, the frist presidency and the 12 apostles, read to talks and report what you learned, read some scriptures and write in your journal. As a reward for finishing this challenge we went to Seven Peaks. Since Phil and Chloe have passes they met us there. It was so fun, I have not gone to a water park in very long so at first I was nervous but I soon got over that as a dropped down the first slide. Mark & I were about to go on on the slides. We a great reward for doing somethin we should be doing anyway!!

Andy, Manda, Mark and I went to get treats and Macey's and as we were walking in we walked past a huge car cart so we decided to put Taylor in it. She loved it!!!

Taylor is Messy!!

Awhile ago my mom bought Tay those baby biscuits, the first time we gave them to her she got a little messy. Well, we pulled them out again and this time she was WAY messy. She had so much fun and loved them though...

Family Reunion

We had another great year up the canyon at the reunion. Once again Mark was gone so Dani, Manda, Taylor and I sleep in one tent. It started Thursday and we just hung out that day. Friday was the same until Rex told me to get my shoes that we were going on a hike, Dani said she would watch Tay so I decided to go!!! They told me we were going to the summit, I did not know what that meant. I figured we would be gone an hour... well the summit is pretty far and up 9,000 ft. It took us over 3 hours but we all made it and it was a blast. After that I was so tired and my legs were pretty sore. The rest of the day we all just hung out and did different activities. Saturday was the big program and we did a skit that Rex wrote... his skits are the funniest. Then Melanie sang and her little boy danced... cutest thing ever. He hip-hop dances, watching him made me excited for the day when I can dance with Tay. Then we lined danced... also so much FUN!!! After we did that for awhile Manda and I taught everyone who wanted and even those who didn't, Thanks Andy, Josh, Hayden and Chanler, a dance that we made up. Sunday we did our testimony meeting and packed up and left. Cant wait tell next year...Mark will be there =).

On July 31 we went to provo for the 4th annual BYU womens clinic. I love this clinic, you get to hear from Bronco and some players and the best part is you get to go down on the field and do drills, so much FUN. I am so excited for football season... 12 days!!!
