The Story of My Life

LIFE....It gets away from ya!

2010-03-09T20:23:00.001-08:00

Its been so long sence I have be on my blog! I miss the days were I would sit and blog all day. So I decided to take alittle time and write what I have been up to....Well....Not much really except work work work. I work at Taco Time right now and that seems to be the only thing that I have done for some time now.

My grandma was diagnosed with cancer yet agian this past year. She had 2 spots in her lungs and one in her neck. She has been doing many cycles of Chemo treatment and I am proud to say that last time we were all in Salt Lake they said from the looks of the scans they could not see it in her lungs anymore and that the one on her neck was getting smaller. So that is a nice sigh of relef!

John has almost been gone for 2 years now and it still seems like just yesterday he left us. I hate to say it but its almost been a year sence I have been to his head stone, then just last week I went up there for the first time in a while. I sure do miss him.

I have also gotten my wisdom teeth out....Man did it hurt! It didnt hurt as bad as I thought it would but it hurt enough. I had 3 of them, 2 on the bottom and one on the top. It was not too bad the first day other than I was drooling everywere. By the second day I was playing basketball with the cousins and out visiting teaching with Candi McMullin. But I can tell you by the third day it all cought up to me.. LOL I am going to get braces in July so it was just a small step in getting them :)

Thats all that has happened that I can think of right now. I am just going to have to remember to stay up on this blogging thing. I really like it and missed it!

A year has already past. :(

2009-04-23T20:09:00.000-07:00

A year ago today I got the news that John had passed away. John was a good man that always thought of others before he thought of himself. He was a loving dad to 4 wonderful kids and he was married to the most amazing lady in town. The family has had struggles with the passing of John. He was everyones friend. I know that I would love to spend just one more day with him to tell him how much I love and miss him. He was the man in my life that I looked up to the most. He treated his wife the way that the queen of France gets treated. He was Awesome. John you are great. I sure do miss your smiling face down here. I can't wait until I get to see you again!

Here are some pictures of John, Some that you may know is John while others may just be funny to you......

I miss you John.............

McMullin Fun

2009-02-26T11:41:00.000-08:00

Matt and Candi left on Sunday for a Cruise, I got the opportunity to stay with their kids. I went over there on Sunday night before they left for a run down on all of the rules and what Candi and Matt wanted their kids to do while they were gone. Candi was so nervous to leave her kids. You could tell that she was very nervous because she was vacuuming the floors...painting her toe nails...and just talking over the same rules like 15 times....LOL I can't say that I would not do that if I had kids but I just thought it was way funny. Then to top it off Jade was coughing and so that made Candi even more nervous. They left their house at 10:30 ish and I was so tiered I went straight to bed! I didn't sleep very well that night because it was not my bed and I was just a little nervous that if I went to sleep I would not hear the girls if they woke up sick or crying. I finally got to sleep at about 3ish. Lilli had a bad dream and was came into Candis room and was in bed with me at 4:30am...Man I was so tiered but she was so scarred so I turned on the TV hopping she was sleep....no such luck. :) When the older all the kids got home from school it was homework time!

Monday was one of the funnest days I have had with the McMullin kids because of family home evening. I had the idea of making a fruit pizza. They were all so happy to get to help. McKinley was in charge of the dough., getting it into the pan and into the oven to cook. Gavin was in charge of the kiwis and the pineapple, peeling them and cutting them up. Jade got to cut the grapes in half. Lillian got to cut up the bananas. The younger girls were just so happy that I let them us a butter knife to cut up the fruit. That was fun because there were no fights and they were so happy!!

If you are going to have fruit pizza you have to have the real thing, so we did!

I would have to say that their favorite part of the fruit pizza would of had to of been the frosting. They all took turns licking the spatula and they each had their own knifes. They sure had fun decorating it.

They all had so much fun decorating the pizza. They wanted to make something for their parents so this was the end results....

Man I can't even tell you how much fun I had with them. They always seemed to be laughing and smiling. They really never fought and none of them really cried. It was super fun! On Tuesday we all went to the park and played for what seem like hours. All of the young Ercanbrack boys came and we had so much fun at the park. Wednesday was a crazy day. We just seemed to be running around all over, but over all I really had a good time! Thanks Matt and Candi for letting me come and hang out with your kids! They are the Best!!!

2009-02-13T09:47:00.000-08:00

This year my mom and I wanted to make our own chocolates. So we did. We dipped Marshmellows, gummy candy, cookies, and hot lips. It was a lot of fun. I think it turned out great!

Catching up

2009-01-31T21:11:00.000-08:00

WOW it has been so long sence my last post! I have not really done much to blog about. Right now I am sitting in Payson at my friends house babysitting.....I know what you are think....why am I on the computer while I am babysitting....Well she is asleep. LOL Her name is Gracie and she is so cute!

Yeah she is cute. Right now as we speak my friend Allison is bowling and my boy friend is partying and I am sitting here on this computer watching Fox 13......LAME well I am sorry this is so short! LOL

Our some what tragic yet happy Christmas

2008-12-25T16:29:00.000-08:00

Well I guess that I should explain the tragic part before I say anything about the Happy. OK so the 23rd was my cousin Madison's birthday. My mom and I went to my aunt Sara's house to give Maddy her gifts. When we got there Sara was not there. We asked all of the kids where she went. They said she was with he boyfriend Justin....I just laughed....John just died 7 months ago.... As she showed up with this guy...I was a little upset! My mom talked to him and to Sara for a long time. On the way back home she told me that we had to give him a chance and that it was Sara's life. I agree that Sara should date. Well come Christmas eve at a family party Sara announced that she was MARRIED!!! They have been married for 6 DAYS!!! they told no one! they dated for 1 week and now they are married..... That messed Christmas up....My Grandma was so hurt! Christmas was Johns fav. holiday and she was sad enough then found out that Sara was married.....UGH!!! IDK may I add that he has 5 kids and she has 4. Yes that is right she now has 9 KIDS!!

Well for the good. We still had the family Christmas party. This time we were missing John and Sara because she was with her new family. Hayden Corry Maddy and Sydnee came and we had so much fun. Here are some pictures.

My mom and Sydnee

Picture of Cody

2008-12-23T11:05:00.000-08:00

I had a couple requests to put up a picture of Cody from the previous post of our date at the temple. I had to ok it with him and this is the only picture he would give me. He said this is his fav. one. It is of him and his sister.

Holiday Candy

2008-12-20T11:48:00.000-08:00

As a family Tradition every holiday we get with grandma and make all of our fav. holiday treats. This year we made 2 batches of Fudge, 5 batches of peanut brittle, a bunch of chocolate candy cane covered pretzels, and about 9 pumpkin rolls.

It is so fun to make all of this candy every year.....But I hate to stir all of the candy! It is like 15 minutes for every batch! But it is great to get to eat all of it! :)

Temple Square

2008-12-19T19:10:00.001-08:00

I had the night of my life last night! I met this really sweet guy online of all places, and our first date was to temple square. I went up with a singles ward with my friend Allison and we met Cody there. The temple looks so cool with all of the lights. We walked around the temple until 9pm where we then went to see the Restoration in the Joseph Smith building. When we were walking my friends like ran away and left me and Cody to talk. It was nice just for us to talk. Cody is so hot...(right Allison?) Here are some pictures.

Our friend Katie acted like she was not a member. Every time we came to a statue of Joseph Smith she asked us who it was and why he was so important to our religion. It kept me on my toes....Because if I said the wrong things others looked at me funny. We went up to the tenth floor to look over the temple and there were missionaries up there and she kept saying that she was interested in the Gospel and she kind of got really board because she really was a member...LOL the movie I think was the best date that I have ever been on.... I think he loved it... He likes me by the way....LOL

It is finally up!!

2008-12-05T19:27:00.000-08:00

My Uncles head stone is up now.....

This is the front......

This is the Back.....

TWILIGHT.......OH EDWARD

2008-11-21T18:10:00.000-08:00

well I Had all of my wildest dreams come true on November 21 2008. I got to watch the movie that has been the talk of the world. I went with Matt and Candi. I must admit that at first I thought I was going to hate it, but in the end I loved it. Even though we had to sit on the first few rows and that the theater was full of all of these high school girls....it was good. I think it was so funny when Edward fist was shown....all of the girls let out sighs everything he came on and there was a kid that was making these farting noises threw out the whole movie.... I guess at the end Matt had told Candi and I that there was a lady that leaned over to the boy and said grow up..... I know you are thinking that it wasn't funny.....but you had to be there. It was a good movie.

College Update!!!

2008-11-06T09:10:00.000-08:00

Well the term ends in like 3 weeks!!!! I can not wait! I have had a rough time with these 20 credits! I should have listened to others when they said that it was to much. I am so glad that I did it in a way. I am passing all of the classes right now with my lowest grade being a B-.... that one is going to come up!!! I know that next term I am only going to take the max of 15 credits, which is still a lot to take being that all of the classes that I have left to take are the Math and the English classes, which I hate the most! I can't wait until I am all done with school all together! LOL

The Corry's Halloween Party!!!

2008-10-21T08:58:00.000-07:00

We had a family Halloween party on Saturday night. We had Witches, Vampiers, Fairies, Nerds, and many other fun costumes there. My Favorite was my uncal Matt's. Matt Corry is a goof ball! He was a Basketball player with a FAT belly.... Here see for your self!

Hayden was a Nerd and that was a fun one too!

When we got to the church we started out by having some of the best cream of brocolli soup any one could ever make!!

Then we all got together and played many diffrent games. We had a cake walk, a fishing pond, and we also had a ring toss. The ring toss was so fun... it was this little spider that was inflateable with many diffrent numbers on the legs of it. The kids really loved that game the best!

Then like every year we had a pinata. We always have two of them, one for the little kids and one for the bigger kids. We always start with the youngest and go to the oldest. I am kind of out of luck on that because I am like the second oldest, so I never get to hit it..LOL. It was so fun to see all of the younger kids faces when it was broke because they had no Idea that there was candy in it.

It was a fun way to visit with family!

Week with Cousins

2008-10-21T08:45:00.000-07:00

As many of you know my Uncle passed away 6 months ago. My Aunt is having a hard time getting over the fact that her eternal companion is not with her here on earth. She has her mom stay with her 24-7. Her mom had to go down to Arizona to see her other daughter Julie, so I got to stay with Sara and help her. It really has been a blessing to be with them. I have got to know each one of them individually. They are the sweetest kids.....Unless you ask them to do something.... :) I have 4 Cousins. Hayden is 14, Corry is 12, Madison is 8, and Sydnee is 4. They are so fun!

We had a fun time together. We went on a lot of four wheeler rides, and played rock band. Those are their favorite things to do. It was fun, and I look forward to having more fun this week with them.

The Crime in Nikkiville

2008-10-17T14:17:00.000-07:00

One fine day, oh I would say about a month ago, a pro princess soccer player was showing off some of her moves to some people that we across the street from her castle. This pro princess decided to kick the ball up agist the house and much to her suprise........

She kicked the ball with such grace she broke the window.....The Queen of the castle was not to happy with the princess so instead of the maids cleaning it up the poor princess had to clean it up all by herself. The princess feels that CANDI MCMULLIN is partly to blame for this horrible accident. You see Candi gave the princess a very special gift for Christmas one year which was also the weapon of choice......

So in the laws of the land of Nikkiville Candi was partly to blame! But the Princess was so kind to her fellow friends that she insisted that Candis life be spard for the princess knew that Candi is a good friend and would die for the princess any day so in tern the princess saved Candis life.

Models for a day

2008-10-17T12:23:00.000-07:00

As many of you know I have a best friend name Allison. She is the bestest friend that any one could have. We love to take pictures of ourselves and each other. We decided to go up to Maple lakes to get some pictures done now that all of the leafs have changed. I really felt like a model. I think that all of the pictures turned out so cute! I had so much fun.

We found a lot of fun places to get them done. First we found a big log to take them on.

Next there was a BIG stump in the ground and it was really pretty!

The next spot was the bridge....We had a lot of fun here. Allison even dropped half of her tripod in the water and guess who went and got it...ME...I volunteered.

Then we each found a tree that we liked...

It was so much fun! Here are a bunch of other pictures!

Then we went to a spot were the Indian is painted on the rock..... it was night... it was fun!

Alanna is rolling over and crawling!!!!

2008-10-14T20:36:00.000-07:00

I got to watch Alanna the other day and much to my surprise........SHE CAN ROLL OVER AND CRAWL!!!! She is getting so big so fast! She is so fun. The only thing that I can't stand about her is that when she is going to sleep the person that is holding her has to be standing up. It is so crazy that she can tell when I sit down! She is now 6 months old and she is going to be one of those heart breakers when she grows up...Just like me.....Yeah right!!!

Alanna was a little mad that night, because she just had got her shots before she came out to my house and so she came and she was bawling! I cheered her up of course. She is so fun!

Nightmare on 13th street

2008-10-05T13:49:00.000-07:00

No joke.....this is the scariest thing that I have ever been too! My friend Bryce is leaving for his mission on Wednesday, so a bunch of us got to together and went up to Salt Lake to the Nightmare on 13Th street. I will admit the whole ride up there I was really nervous! I was kind of scared! When we pulled up we went straight to get our tickets. While we were waiting in line Allison, Brittney, Tennasyne, and I were talking about how afraid we were and of course the boys were laughing at us!

When we all had our tickets we started towards the opening of the haunted house. While we were walking towards the line they had people that were dressed up scaring people while they waited in line. Tennasyne saw one of the guys and took off running. She ran right in to a man and kept running. I laughed so hard. We were in line only for about 10 minutes I thought we would be there a lot longer. Tenasyne was really afraid of the guys that kept coming up too us in line We decided that we would all just start singing I Love to see the Temple when we got really scared. I think they came closer when you sang that. I was taking a picture of the three of them and one of them was right behind me. Right when I snapped the photo they were all saying watch out and there was a man behind me......

They had this really cool looking headless horseman on the building it looked so cool at night.

When we got inside we could see on the wall a big screen where they had placed a camera in the middle of the maze were someone jumps out at you with a knife. It was so funny to see all of the reactions of all of the different people. When we got in there we had to go through this other room were they were showing clips from the movie the ring and other really scary movies and then Freddy was there....He is creepy!

Well we all went through it holding on to the back of the person that was in front of us. I got stuck close to the end with a kid named Chase behind me...He was worse than the people who worked there. He would scare me every chance that he got. He had the craziest laugh! It really was funny when we went through the clown part........ He would laugh when he saw a clown and all of the girls would scream......There where some ugly clowns!

I think that the worst part was going through the body bag room.....They had these bags hanging from the roof and they were wet and cold.......They probably were really bodies! You had to walk through the room and the bags were everywhere! You had to touch them and move them...NASTY!

The best part was at the very end......The man with the chainsaw!!!! I got scared though....I put Allison in front of me so that he could not get me....Sorry Ally.....I still love you!

I had a fun time...I am so glad that I went!

P.S. Can you believe that they only had one bathroom......Yeah for all of Utah they had one bathroom with a line that went to Canada....!! No Joke!

QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!

2008-09-23T19:34:00.001-07:00

My Life from new born to Now (19)

2008-09-22T19:20:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that so of today September 22 I have been alive for 19 years. In the beginning I was a problem child. My mom thought many times that she was going to lose me. I had many problems with keeping my little heart beating and to keep my unformed lungs for collapsing. I was " a fighter" as my mom would tell it. I held on to life for quite a while and I would slip away and my heart would stop and I would not breathe. I spent the first 3 months of my life in the hospital. When I got to leave at the end of November I was on all kinds of monitors. I spent my first Christmas in the hospital... I guess we had just had family pictures done and I stop breathing on the way home. This is one of my fav. pictures because it is of me and my sister.

Life was good after my first birthday. I was off of the monitors and was a healthy baby form what the doctors could see. I was like any other child...Crazy and wild as ever. I loved to go to school when I was younger. It was something that I liked to do. I loved to learn and grow. This is my second grade picture that my mom loves because I was her little cowgirl.

This is a picture form JR high.

As many of you know I played on The basketball and the Soccer teams for payson... I love to play soccer. It was my life for a long time. I went threw some hard times in high school and I can honestly say that I think soccer and all of my friends and coaches kept me going.

I also even got through Graduation......Crazy I know...Now I am 19 years old. Wow how the years fly. I have had so many good friends that have helped me threw some tough time over the past3 year with My grandma and the passing of my uncle..... I want to thank all of you for helping me live to be 19! Thanks

New Laptop!

2008-09-22T13:23:00.001-07:00

A few days ago I join what is known as the cyber world when I bought a new laptop. I now have no excusses or not getting my homework done! I love the laptop! I think it works great and I also love to colors. It is white so I put some soccer stickers on it. I love it!!!

P.S. I am on it now!!!! LOL

RATTLE SNAKE!!!!

2008-09-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

Ok, so on Saturday after mybirthday party with some friends.... My friend Allison and I went up the canyon to take some pictures and to have some pizza... the pizza was GREAT. We then went up to the top of the mountain to a spot called Look Out Point.... At least I think that is what it is called... anyways.... were coming downt the mountain and when we got down almost to the bottom Allison said there was a snake in the road, I didn't believe her so I told her to turn around. We did and sure enought there was a nice BIG RATTLE SNAKE in the road.... It was cool but at the same time I feared for my life!!!

Relief Society

2008-09-15T12:27:00.000-07:00

Well as you all know I am getting old.....so old that I am no longer in young woman's (which I hate) I had to sit in Relief society for the first time in my life, and I have one thing to say about that............BORING............... I could not learn a thing in there.... I had this one lady that sat right next to me (OVARD) and she would not leave me alone! I was trying so hard to feel the spirit while she was in my left ear talking about drunk drivers in Santaquin. I would not recommend relief society to any one................Unless they are 97 years old.

Not enough time in the day!!!

2008-09-04T15:27:00.000-07:00

WOW!!!! Time has gone by so fast since the last time I posted anything! I thought I would post a little update on Nikki. Well classes are going well (so far!). I now know why I see all of these people sleeping in the halls at the University....IT IS HARD STUFF!!! I have already had a test in all 7 of my classes and all of them have had at least 3 quizzes. My grandma was not kidding when she said that college was nothing like high school. I am also feeling the crunch that all students feel regarding money, School books are way to much money! someone somewhere is a millionaire just off of the 9 books that I had to buy!!!

I am glad that I have the chance to go to college! I hope that someday I can look back on this all and just laugh! I am glad that all of my life I wanted what was best for myself so that I could someday provide for a family of my own.( that might come sooner that most think....I met this cute boy...story for another time)! I also want to say thank you to all of the influences form all the people in my life...You know who you are! THANKS!!!!

Mommy for a day

2008-08-21T18:40:00.001-07:00

Today I got the opportunity to be a mom for the day. The baby's name is Alana and she is so cute!

I had to give her a bath and I found out really fast that she doesn't like to take a bath. She was so mad at me! After she was all done with her bath.... she was just so cute that I had to take some pictures!

And then we were finally done! She was not to happy.

When we were all done with that we went to Candi McMullins house to hang out. We had so much fun. Candi's baby is four years old, and it was so cute to see her with a four month old. Lilli, the four year old, was kind of shy at first when we got there, but every minute after that she was always holding her. It was so cute to see....I wished I would have gotten a picture. Alana is such a good baby and can sleep threw anything! That was very nice when she was sleeping!

I had the best time at Candi's playing with Lilli and Alana..... Alana dose not like it when you are holding her and sitting down....she has a sixth sent and she can tell when you are going to sit and she cries!!! I know that by the time I came home from Candi's house I was so tiered!! I fell right to sleep and Natasha my sister came in while I was asleep with Alana still awake!

A baby is a lot of work......79 million bottles and 52 million diapers later I was so tiered! And this also made me realize that I don't want a child for a while! So hats off to all of you moms!!! I don't know how you do it.

I think I am ready.....:0

2008-08-20T13:00:00.001-07:00

I am so not ready to see what college has to bring!!! I have been talking to a lot of people and they have all said that I am going to have a tough time doing 20 credits all at once..... I hope that is not the case. I hope I can go into school and show everyone that I can do it. I know that the books are so much money!!!! I couldn't believe that they were as much as I payed for them. Now that school is one week away........I am praying that I can do it.

Santaquin Rodeo 2008

The Santaquin Rodeo was OK this year. There seemed to be a lot of people there because of the fireworks after the rodeo. I know that one of the best parts of the Rodeo was the sunset. I took more pictures of it than of Hot Cowboys! It looked like a fire!

There was this one little boy who was there with his family and he came up to Allison and I and he would just sit and talk up a storm. His mom would tell him to come back down were they were at but he always came back. He was so cute!!

The next best part was the Fireworks...They were way good this year. The only thing wrong with them was that there were these two girls sitting behind me...I mean right behind me say oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh... The whole time...Not just once or every now and again but the WHOLE TIME!!!!!........I wanted them to run away and play some were else! They would roll down the hill and kick me in the head and they would not just hold still. All of the people on the other side or the arena came to our side because we had the best view....it was crowded! But other than that it was great! This is a clip of the great ending!

Utah Fire of 2008

2008-08-03T18:01:00.001-07:00

Well as most of you know there was a BIG fire here in Utah county in Spring Lake. I got some really good pictures of the fire and I also got some of the helicopters filling their buckets to dump.

Spanish Fork Rodeo

2008-07-23T22:43:00.000-07:00

I went to the Spanish Fork Rodeo with my friend Allison. It was so much fun! The first thing that we got to see was these two guys jump out of a plain and come and land right in the middle of the arena. The first guy had a can of smoke that he let go and made all kinds of circles and different designs. There was wind so we all thought that they were going to miss the arena but they both made it safely.

Then we all got to pay respect to Old Glory......

These are some of the many pictures I took.

I think the best part was the Wild Child..... he puts on this act that he doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle...and he gets on it and rides it around the arena and jumps a truck and trailer. It was FUN.........................

That was the trip to the rodeo.!!!!!!!!!!

Fort Douglas Museum

2008-07-12T22:53:00.000-07:00

After were we were finished at the zoo we then went to the Fort Douglas Museum. We got to see a lot of cool old guns and uniforms. I really liked all of the guns and amo that they had to look at. I think it was also cool that they had a section of the museum of the capture of Sadam Husan. They actually have the boots and the coat that he was wearing the day that he was captured. Outside of the museum there were a lot of old tanks and air crafts. I can not believe how big they are! It was a good museum.

Hogle Zoo 2008

2008-07-12T22:41:00.000-07:00

The Zoo was so much Fun! I have not been there for about 10 years. I got to go with on of my best friends, Erika, and her sister, Bonnie, and her husband, Caral. I would have to say that you should never use Map Quest! That is were we got our directions off of and lets just say that we got lost. I would also have to say that there are some really CRAZY people that live in the Salt Lake area. We were having a wonderful drive to the zoo when to old guys drove up next to us. The passenger was flexing his muscle, well what muscle he did have, at us. We told Caral that they were looking at him because they were gay. Then the driver was like staring us down when they passed us..... CRAZY!

I would have to say that the coolest thing about the zoo was the bird show. I have never had so many diffrent types of birds fly so close to my head before. When one of them flew over head I oould feel the rope that was around his legs. I am so glad that no one stood up....they would have lost there heads! The other cool part was the built in cool down stations that were threw out the whole park. It was fun.

UVU here I come!!!!

2008-07-10T14:05:00.001-07:00

Well as of today I recived my acceptance letter to attend UVU as a freshman for the 2008-2009 school year! I can't wait. I really am so excited because I was not going to go to college for a while. I thought that I really didn't need to go but now that I am I just can't wait to start!

I am going tobegin with my generals. I hope that I can get good grades so I can be accepted into medical school. I hope that some day I can become a surgical tech. or maybe even a doctor. I just can't wait!!

YSA Camp

2008-06-28T11:04:00.000-07:00

Wow I never thought I would have so much fun in my life! I got to go with one of my best friends up to Camp Koholowo for a Young Single Adults camp out. Wow that is kind of crazy to think that I am a Young Single Adult.....I mean the young...kind of, the single......most definitely, but the adult part......I don't know about yet. I know that this camp was one of the best I have had up to koholowo (except the year I got to go with Santaquin 1st ward and I could not get up on the bar!). We went up knowing that there were going to be many RM's so Allison and I made out the whole time with these two guys! It was great............................JUST KIDDING no kissing was involved. We went up there and had a nice drive to the top of the mountain.

When we got to the camp we went and put all of our stuff in the cabin of our choice (on the girls side). We then went to dinner were we had chicken the size of your head, rice, and grilled pineapple. It was a Hawaiian theme. After dinner was over we played apples to apples with a group of YSA. There were about 15 of us smashed at this little table playing the worlds funnest game. When dinner was over they had these dancers come and show all of us how to dance diff rent dances from their culture. I would have to say that for a YSA camp out there was some butte shaking that I thought was way to much, but in all it was fun. After the dancing thing was over Allison, Jared, and I wanted to hike up to a spot called Look Out Point. I have been up there quite a few times but I never have sat on the rock out there because I am so afraid of heights, But this time was diff rent. I told my self that I am a young single adult now and it was time that I stated to acting like one. I went out on the rock and I could not believe the view. Allison and I sat there for the longest time taking pictures of us because she wanted one of us both smiling but I had other ideas.

I was so proud of myself deciding to stop acting so childish.......that we all decided to go snip hunting. I have never been snip hunting but that was a time I will never forget....snips are the ugliest things in the world. I swear if you saw one it would give you night mares for a week. We only caught one.....But me being the YSA and all had no night mares that night. When we let the snipe go and returned to camp Allison and I thought we would go up the the cabin in which 3 boys were staying......don't worry like I said there was no kissing! We sat and talked for hours! The stake leader came in and told us that we should not be there and that we should go back to our cabins, But I am a YSA now so we went and for these other friends of ours and we talked until 2 in the morning. When we got to the cabin we sat up and talked for another hour putting us to sleep around three in the morning with breakfast being served at 8:30 this morning. Well needless to say we were woken up by and nice gentle man and he told us that breakfast was ready. We thought it was 8:30 in the morning and that we were running late. When we checked the clock and it said 7:40 me being the rebel that I had became over night (LOL) decide to sleep until the real breakfast time. They weren't going to gip me of another 15 minutes of sleep. We had a great devotional and a wonderful breakfast.

Coming down the mountain we stop ed to go bull shouting. That is were you pull up next to a bull and you scream as loud as you can to see what the bull would do. Well there was a BIG black bull and we scram at that bull..... I think I almost gave it a heart attack because it was not a happy bull. I am so glad that Allison York is the best driver ever or i think I would be dead because that bull was charging for me inside the car and I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.

Now I am home...................Luckily! plus I am a YSA now!

My Graduation Night!

Opening Day of Orem Owlz

2008-06-17T23:23:00.000-07:00

Today was the Opening day of the Orem Owlz baseball season. We thought it would be cool if the whole family got to together and went to the game as one big family. We had Grandmas, Aunts, Cousins, friends, Nieces, and Nephews. It was so fun. The best part about the whole day was all of the complaments I got on the shirt I was warring. It was my "I hate NY Mets" shirt

This is the coolest shirt ever. A lot of people would come up to me and ask where I bougth it from but I had to tell them that I made the shirt. I topped of the outfit with a New York Yankees hat.

All of the Owlz players did really good in this game here are some of my snap shots.

Sydnee is my Uncal John's baby. I think she looks just like me. She is the youngest so of course she gets what she wants. She is a very big help when it comes to taking care of the youger ones she is always willing to hold the baby even if you really don't want her to.

My other favorite part was that I got to be with my family! It was Alanas first baseball game so we had to go up to Hootz and get her picture taken with him.

Caleb loves baseball. He is the funnest kid to take. He is only 1 1/2 years old and he loves to set and watch the game, although he has a very short attention span.

Of course with all of the younger kids we had to make a few trips up to the play ground.

At the bottom of the 13 inning so second inning of over time the power went out and so they got to light all of the fireworks early. The best part of the fireworks was we all thougth Alana would hate them but she fell in love with all of the colors.

The Fireworks lasted for a short amount of time but they when very colorful!

When they finally got the light in the stadium to come back on again tha Orem Owlz still had a chance at bat. They got the bases loaded and won the game with a grand slam. We never expected the game to go so long. We got home around 12am and thankfully all of the younger kids were asleep.

R.I.P John!

2008-06-14T18:30:00.000-07:00

As many know John Brereton passed away back into the arms of Hevenly Father. It was really hard when he first passed leaving behind a wife and 4 kids, but I think we are all doing good because we know of God eternal plan. This life on earth is temporary and we have to live it the way we know God wants us to so we can live again with all of our family members that have passed before us. LIVE...LOVE....LAUGH!!!! I love you John!!

Chickens!

2008-06-14T18:24:00.001-07:00

Well I got some chickens from one of my teaches that was trying to get rid of them. I got 4. 2 black ones and 2 red ones. They are so much fun to watch. They are the coolest things in the world.

Senior All Nighter

2008-06-14T18:15:00.001-07:00

The night of Graduation was so fun for me! I got to go back to the High School and stay there until 11:30 the next morning. It was so much fun!

Everyone could come to the stomp that was held from 9:30 to 11:30 and then they had to leave. I got to hang out with Erika and my friend Myriah for the hole night until they had to go home. We all had the funnest time. We danced and took a lot of pictures.

The boys sat there most of the night. They would only dance to like every other song. that was dumb. It was fun though.

The next morning I was so tiered!!! I got to hang out with Myriah on the last day of school.
