List and possible short description of
what I did this spring break:

+played croquette
+finally saw We Bought A Zoo (BEST MUSIC EVER. Love Jonsi, love Sigur Ros, love Bon Iver)
+bought a whole gallon of cherry icee from the gas station and drank all we could...
+rock climbing and repelling with my favorite cousins and Austin Lemon. um....SO fun
+hiking with my awesome sister and her kids
+mountain biking with Nena
+volleyball with Scott, Austin, and Caitlin.
+falling in love again with Of Monsters And Men
+read Black Boy
+watched it snow like 6 inches....
+went to City Creek and the Church History Museum
+and...... I had my first kiss. Which was pretty much the best part! haha. The next morning as my family was praying, my dad said we needed to pray hard for my salvation! I love my family. Also my two of my best friends got their first kisses! The day before and the day after me. I think we started something.... :)

Anyways, it was a great break spent in the mountains and with friends. I'll try to get the pictures off of my phone... but who knows. Thanks everybeedy for making this week awesome.


yes yes yes.
Ah.

There is a first time for everything!

Like ice fishing. First time! I LOVED it. I think Dad did too; he wants to buy an auguer now. We drove hours out to Strawberry Resevoir, that looks just like a valley of snow to me. It is crazy being out on a lake on 2 feet of ice. We didn't catch any fish, but I read and had a wonderful nap on a tarp in the sun. It got so warm that we rode all the way home with the windows down. It was definitely one of the happiest days ever.

I wish I could post the crazy face I'm making right now... instead of words.

Today in gym, as we played dodgeball, we lost yet another round. In our devestation, Scott proclaimed that our only strategy left was to kneel and pray. Everyone laughed and agreed, but it sparked something in Mason's brain. He gathered us around in a huddle, and with his game face on, he convinced our team we were now the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's from the Book of Mormon. We would lay down our weapons and kneel together... not even fight back. And so we did! I'm sure it was a special memory for everyone. The other team pelted us as hard as they could and surrounded us. I sank into the fetal position and with my last dying breath... got up and chucked a ball at the nearest person.

I know our gym version differs from the real version, but it was a great experience all around.

Next, is something that I'm sure we all can enjoy and take a part in. My sister thinks that since I will be 16 in a few months, I need to start practicing "awkward things to do on dates." When we sit at dinner together we try them out. We've started compling a list.

1. Smell your food (she knows someone who does this all the time), then continue to eat it like a ravenous wolf

2. Act like Luna Lovegood. Never fails.

3. Ask your date if you have boogers in your nose.

4. Flare your nostrils when you look at them.

5. When you talk to them, only look to the left of their head.

I know its kinda short, but it'll get better. I'm sure you can imagine how Kait and I act at dinner.

Totes awky-awk.

never remember my name

Saturday. This is what we did.

We rock climbed! This is probably my favorite sport ever. (It's a sport, right?) I love the blue shoes, being able to tie the knots and keep people from falling, and being outside! Ah. I just love it so much.

We need to bring all the ladies up here sometime. Too bad there was baptisms and temple trips that day.... I guess SOME people have to be righteous. :)

The best was leaning back and hanging by the rope. I can testify it is the weirdest feeling.

Ha. Nena's feet were dyed red from the new shoes. I thought they were bleeding.

Spencer and Richie.

I can't wait to go again, it is so addicting. I came home as happy as a smiley face. Like, the big yellow ones. I think that's what I looked like.

moan bi lay mi-ham yay!

Labor Day! What a day.

We (Matt, Kris, Jack, and Cam) hiked to the top of Hogback Mountain. That mountain.

Yes, this one.

View from Skyline Drive. Amazing, right?

Jack found a fork along the way, and we put it on the very top of the mountain.

I think those clouds are awesome.

This is Kristin's tree. She is sassy pants... or was when she was younger :) When she was but a child she hiked all the way up to this tree, didn't want to go any further, so she sat beneath it and colored in coloring books while my dad and brother went to the top. Sassy! I love her.

Matt is sassy too. He just wanted to burp in this picture.

I love the mountains. I never want to leave Utah for that reason.

They are just too beautiful and familiar.

I am too young for this.

So I was looking at this blog, and saw this wedding dress that I think is so adorable.On the close up, isn't the skirt way pretty? I know its tradition to have a long train and veil and being border line snow monster, but I gotta say I love this.
