YSA Camp

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

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!

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!

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

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.

GRADUATION!!!!

I can't believe that I graduated from High school!!! That has to be one of the coolest things that has happened to me!!!

This is my dear friend Myriah, she is one year younger than me. She is so FUN!!!!
These are some of my other friends! Candi McMullin, Myriah Jensen, and Erika Hinton. They were all so nice and came to support and cheer for me as I got to walk across the stage!
