Well, yesterday was "Daly Days" here in Hamilton. So, to celebrate we went to participate in the, "Chalk Fest". All ages get to pick a sidewalk sqare and draw anything they want with the chalk provided. Well, me in square number four, decided to draw a rainbow ballerina. It turned out good, I was pretty proud. Two squares over, Bohni drew a radio flyer wagon that was almost 3-D because it was shaded so good. Three squares over, Hagan drew an awesome pencil, with a matching earaser and sharpener(he labled the pencil, made in china:). In sqare number 23, my mother was making a masterpiece. She had the mountains drawn even more beautiful then they actually are:). Though, in the proces, while shading and blending the colors, mamma wore two bloody spots on her fingers(luckaly none of the blood got on her art work) and are still really sore.
We came back later to look at all the drawings and to hear the awards cerimony. I won first place in the 8-12 catagorie with a scetch pad and a cool pack of oil pastels. Bohni won a scetch pad with a pack of nice drawing pencil kit. We all thought for sure that mom would either win the adult catagorie or best of show, but some lady who drew a giant flower next to me won the adult prize, and a primary sea scene won the best of show( who the heck was judging?!) but at least we had fun doing it.
Surprisingly, about three hours later, it rained enough to make the streets look like little creeks! We rushed down to look at the drawings, wich were smeard and washed away to smitheriens! It was really pretty though:)
All in all, it was a fun experience, and we're looking forward to it next year!

Me and Sierra here, we're like pb&j. We're tight like unto a dish:):):)
That's Nyeisha for ya.

The amazing, entergetic chickens
Madison and Amy, patriotic to the pink flamingos:)
Kelly Bishop messin' around at lunch:)
Here's my friend, Josie
One of our amazing leaders, Jamie Jackson
Nina with a flamingo:)
Bohni as a lion with a blanket that sister jackson made her.
Bohni and Mickayla.
Well, I recently got home from Girls Camp, the best thang eva! It was soooo fun, and sooo spiritual. I know I havn't blogged in a while , but I promis my life isn't dead boring. Anyway, since i'm in Blodgett Canyon Ward, I was a pink flamingo this year. next year we're changing our color to gold, for virtue, but we don't know wat animal or mascot we'll have yet. Some of our girls were thinking camels, but gladly we decided against that:)
The first day was the longest, but after that, camp just zipped by us and pretty soon i found myself on the bus going home, taking pictures of my feet:) I'll never forget my first year at girls camp. The first years only go on a three mile hike, but this year we wen't an extra half a mile up, so we ended going four miles. It was soo fun, exept that wen me and Maddie Richards took a late shower (we were the only ones in the bathroom) and the bats came out of their corner. We screamed, grabbed our stuff and ran barefoot with just our swimming suits on , arcrost camp. Luckaly it was really dark, so none of the leaders got after us for not being modest. I bet you would've ran out of there if four bats were circling your head four feet above you, too! Other than that camp was great (though, there were a few skinny dippers, not me though:). But I never wanted to leave, that's how good it was. Sadly this year we didn't fully capture Normon the Mormon, but got beat up while trying to take him, by Allie Stall. Scary, i know. I tried to get her to let go of him by pinching and smakin her bum, but that didn't work.

Babysitting
As most of you already know, this year will be my first attending Girls Camp! I'm sooo excited and can't wait for the experience! But to raise money for camp we had to do service projects. I offered to do four hours of babysitting and a desert for two. Evidently, one of my favorite young womens leaders offered to pay fifty buckeroos! She won my service and on friday I babysat for her.
I stayed home and made a devil's food cake ( ya, it's tottaly smart to do devil's food for a church related camp!) with a light purple frosting, stringed with dark and white chocolate! Sister Elison and her husband loved it. They left it home with Evalyn, Oliver, and I. The kids ended up having a couple pieces and sneaking some frosting off of the top of it. Anyway, I got there and Evalyn started off reading a couple short little books to me since Oliver was asleep. We had some extra cheesey pieces of pizza and then Oliver came down from his nap. After he ate, we all went and ate popsickles out in the rain. They persuaded me to letting them jump in some puddles and play indians ( I ended up as their prisoner, ofcourse:). When Oliver accidentally hit Evie in the knee, and wouldn't say sorry, I ended up threatening to take his super powers away. Strangely, he didn't apologize, but smiled and ran into the house. Me and Evie followed and we all settled down and watched "The Little Mermaid".
Evie suddenly got the idea that I needed my fingernails clipped and picked up the clippers. She said that we could play salon and she would clip my nails. " No thanks, Evie. I'll clip my nails when I get home," I said to her, of course she resisted. Halfway through the proccess of the clipping, she says, " You look way better already!". She ended up doing a pretty good job, well at least there wasn't any blood.
When the kids where all settled down, Kim and Damon got home. They thanked me and Evie didn't want me to go with me stuck in her hugs. Sister Elison drove me home with a goodnight, and I got home happily.
All in all, my second babysitting job went well and I raised enough money to go to Girls Camp!

So You Think You Can Dance
As most of you know, I'm comptletely in love with the Fox tv series, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. But, this week was exeptionally wonderous. Jonathan and Karla bumped their way up to the top section of my favorite couples list, with a wonderfull contemporary dance to the Academy Award winning song, Falling Slowly (by The Frame), choreographed by a new Canadian choreographer on the show. I couldn't help but watch it about five times in a row, and was overly exited that they were safe and still on the show. I hope you enjoy this dance as much as I did!

Youth Temple Trip
Yesterday, Saturday, June 6th 2009, I went on my first youth temple trip!! I was overly excited and jumpy! On the way there I rode with Penny Gynn, Rylie Duce and Amon Jackson. I slept twice but the adventure on the trip there was when Rylie suddenly got sick, and was handed a puke bucket. Turning away from Rylie who was sitting right next to me and sharing my blanket, Rylie puked three times. But it was okay. Right after she puked, she says, " Oh I feel much better! That was really weird!". We shared a laugh then got back on the road again.
When we arrived at the temple, we jumped out and waited in the parking lot for about fifteen minutes for our bishop. He wasn't late, but we were an hour early!! We decided to spend our time walking the Spokane Temple grounds. Small, yet incredibly beautiful while walking the perimiter of the temple we walked past a Killdeer bird with a nest full of four eggs right in the shrubs!!! We watched as she tried to guid us away from her eggs. She was beautiful! Just today there was a testimony on what a perfect place to nest, the temple grounds! Anyway, the bishop arrived and we all entered the temple.
Waiting for about two seconds on the comfy benches in the waiting room, we enterd at the desk. We all quietly walked through the glass doors to the baptizimal font and had a "personal dresser" give us our white jump suits. I entered the doors labled "women" and found myself in what I would describe an angels dressing/bathroom. We all changed into our jumpsuits (ever so comfertable, good enough to just sleep in)and put our hair up in white scrunchies. We then filed out to the squishy chairs and benches by the font.We were given little pink papers of who we were getting baptized for. I counted ten papers that I was given. The oldest person that was in my "packet" was born in 1874, so I put her first. I waited and watched as all my friends got baptized and the spirit was soo strong that I couldn't stop smiling! I was called to get confirmed for different people than I was getting baptized for. It was amazing. It was like I was the person who has been waiting years and years for this moment.
Finally I waded into the warm font that was held by twelve beautiful oxen. I grabbed Weston's arm as he held the wrist of the hand that I was to plug my nose with. Ten times I was dipped into the water, happier than ever. After Weston tapped my back twice, I exited the font with a wet heavy jumpsuit and the biggest smile. Sister Duce handed me a white towel as I slopped back into the dressing room. I waited in my now wet jumpsuit to enter the shower. Rylie came out of the shower, we smiled at each other and I gratefully entered. I took off my jumpsuite and took half of my shower time trying to figure out how to work the shower. I jumped out, got dressed into my black skirt with pink flowers and white long sleeved dress shirt with my white heels. I blowdried my bangs then went watch the rest of the baptizims.
We all left the temple feeling clean and fresh and went back to our cars to go to the famous Country Buffet. With growling stomachs, we rushed into the resturaunt and filled our plates with everything. We ate for an hour, and I was so bloated that I felt that I could just fall over. I switched cars and rode with Bohni, Michael, Megan, Savana, Quinn, and Megan's dad and mom on the way back to Hamilton. We talked and listend to music and laughed on our ride home. They dropped me off and Bohni and I were all alone because Mamma was in Lewistown and Hagan went to a friend's in Stevi. We played some video games and than crashed on my moms bed.
Sister Elison gave us a ride to church this morning. We are all sooo excited that she is pregnant, but sadly she is moving to Germany.We wraped up today with church and hung out at 500-2 Stonegate drive. I had such a great experience and can't wait to do it again. The Bishop said that altogther, we baptized about 110 people on Saturday and I figured that we will all be pretty popular in heaven!

Book of Mormon in Dr. Suess Version
My mother recently sent me this email about the Book of Mormon in Dr. Suess version. I LOVE it!!! I bet you'll get a kick out of this even if you haven't read the AWESOME Book of Mormon:
Author:
Unknown
Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born
I've never drunk, I've never sworn
This is Lehi, he's my dad
Laman, Lemuel, they are bad
And who is this? Why this is Sam
Yes, this is Sam;
Sam: Sam I am
Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam I am
I do not like that Sam I am
Sam: In a tent, my father dwelt
Laman: And it's so hot, I think I'll melt
Lemuel: Our father's brain is out of whack
Laman: Yeah, it's too hot, I'm going back
Lehi: Then go and get the plates my dear
Laman: On second thought, I'm staying here
Nephi: You said you'd leave and go away
Now all you want to do is stay?
Lemuel: That Nephi always gets his way
Laman: Here we are in this damp cave
Sam: We would not be here if you'd behave
Nephi: I will go and I will do
There's the angel, that's my cue
Laban's had too much to drink
Now he'll lose his head, I think
Nephi: Look what I found, a brother from the quorum
Sam: We will take him home, we will call him Zoram
Lemuel: Oh great, another pathetic life form
Laman: Our gold and silver we have spent
I do not like it in this tent
Lemuel: I cannot read the Liahona
I must have drunk too much Corona
Laman: We hate it here, we have no lives
Lehi: Then go back to the city and get some wives
Lehi: A tree, a tree, I see a tree
The fruit is white, the fruit is free
A floating building, could it be?
Why do they laugh and stare at me?
Laman, Lemuel, come and see
Laman: We will not eat your precious fruit
Lemuel: We will not wear a tie and suit
Laman: We will not help you build your boat
Lemuel: We do not think that it will float
Laman: No not this boat, it will not float
Not even in a shallow moat
I do not care what Nephi wrote
Lemuel: We will not eat your fruit I say
Laman: We will not eat it on a tray
Lemuel: And we won't eat it in a tent
Not even if your clothes you rent
Laman: We'd rather have a can of spam
L & L: We will not eat it, Sam I am
Sam: You do not like it, so you say
Try it, try it, and you may
Try it and you may I say
Laman: Sam, if you will let us be,
We will try it, you will see
L&L: Say, we like this fruit of life
Sorry that we caused such strife
You've saved us from an awful jam
Thank you, thank you, Sam I am
Don't you LOVE IT!!!
Maybe, if you didn't get it, you should READ THE BOOK OF MORMON!!

The Miss Rodeo Montana Gala
The Miss Rodeo Montana Gala was so fun last night. I got to meet Julia, Luke, Panda, Russ, Wendy, Newbia, Coulter and Kyle. Cammie, Jamyn and Haeli were there to dance with. It was a blast. I cowgirl-grooved on the dance floor more than I planned to. Panda, Tia, Julia, Cammie, Jamyn and I made up a cute little line dance, but ended up doing Haeli's one. The music was AWESOME!! Kyle Shobe and the Walkem' Boys had a HUGE veriety of new and oldies songs. At the end, we went around to each table and gathered all of the prettiest flowers, and stowed them away in Haeli's purse. I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by Russ'FAMOUS, BREATH TAKING DANCE SKILLS!!! He is now one of my favorite dancers. In the end we all took pictures of the Allens and Bellers. That was the most fun I've had in a long time.;)
