Haeli's Bridal Shower
So, for the past couple weeks, Katie R. and I have been planning Haeli's bridal shower. It was hard work, but it was fun. I made these really cool invitations, but didn't get all of them out untill a week before the shower. Even though I sent out like forty invites, a good twenty-five or so of the people showed up. The food was good, the games were fun, and the conversations were great. Everybody had a good time, and Haeli got alot of cool presents.
All in all, it was great and everybody was happy.

Fire
Well, a couple weeks ago when Max came home for the weekend, my mom woke me up at about 1:00 in the morning. I followed her down the hall and walked into the living room. She opened the front door and I followed her in awe. 20 foot flames were flickering in the feild right across from the house. How scary!!!!
It turns out that our neighbor was washing her dishes and saw the field light up. She called the firemen and by the time we were out there, they had already came to the rescue. Everybody was up, standing outside watching.
Vixen, our little puppy, was the one who had woken my mom up. She was wining and so my mom was going to get up and take her out. When she walked out the door, she saw the fire.
Nobody knows what started the fire, but we all have a feeling that it was a cigarett butt or something stupid like that.
Thank heaven that we were all kept safe, but it was still a thrilling adventure.

Chalk Fest
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!

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.
But, girls camp was the best camp ever!

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!
