Photo Friday

I have some pictures for you all tonight!

All taken with my mom's I phone...

On the "Hipstimatic" app...

All taken this week.

So Enjoy!

My cute notebook I bought. I found it at Walmart. I love, love, love the polka dots!!
(You can't really see in the picture but there is glitter around the dots!)

And you've got to have some pencils to go with the notebook, right?

And I was really excited when I found some cute stuff at Walmart that was cheap!

(Were talking 99cents, people... and cute!)

Like Ink pads & Stamps...

And these darlings!

(Uh, don't know what there called, But they are way cute.)

In one of my classes for school we were challenged to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days.
(30 days. It's pretty quick. But, it's been an amazing experience!)

On Thursday I was able to go to my schools "Youth Conference". It was heald at a large park (You can even camp there) and it was an all "Outdoors day. It was amazing to be in nature on such a beautiful day!

Sometimes I just need a treat. Doesn't have to be fancy, just some sugar!

Here's what I made. Banana's + melting chocolate + Valentines day sprinkles = that quick treat I really needed.

Okay I got this cute flower in my hair last year from my cousin and I really like it. And I needed to show you. So here you go!

And tonight I got to go eat dinner with my Mom, my Sis in law & my Niece.

This is my Niece.

I think she is the most adorable child ever!

I mean really, look at her! :)

Have a great weekend everybody!!

What makes you happy?

Yesterday marked 6 months since my wonderful sweet grandma leaving this earth. I am sad. But I know I have much reason to be sad. One of the most elect lady's has left us and returned to our father in heaven. She is happy and I know wants me to be too, even though it is really hard. I know she is right now doing something that brought her much joy in her life. Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know she is helping others to learn of this wonderful church. She is being very patient and loving while she does this too I know. It is amazing to imagine. I will try to do my best to also share the gospel with others, so that they can feel the joy and peace that I have!

My Grandma was a LOT of fun. She was always telling us stories, or making us laugh. She loved to laugh! She taught me how to make her amazing brownies, and always showed us what she was sewing. A lot of the things she made for us! She was the queen of games and loved a good game of phase 10 or scrabble. She would always sing some pretty funny songs to me and she always encouraged me and was there to talk to me.

I Miss her a LOT. But I know she's busy somewhere on the other side smiling.... and when she smiles YOU smile. I know she would not want me posting about how sad I was here but instead finding something else to be happy about. So here are some things that I am happy about that have been going on in my life or have made me smile.

I am happy about completing our Classical acting play "Two gentleman of Verona". It was so much fun to do but the joy definitely comes in the completing of it! My mom was the director and she did an amazing job. She spent more than 12 plus hours a day for a few weeks on this play!

Evan, My mom and Me


Here is just one of me..... Don't you love that creepy hand in the background... Megan. :)


I was happy that I got to spend Natalie's birthday evening with her. It was on the night of the play. Here she is opening the gifts I got her. I got her a bunch of our "Favorite things" we like to eat or do. And just some random stuff too, but she liked it. Sorry the picture is blurry.

This picture So makes me smile!!


I am really happy because I now have a garden!!! For one of my classes we have to plant a Garden and I finally did it. It is a hanging garden made from shoe organizer. Sounds weird yes, but I think it it pretty cool! I am growing, 3 kinds of flowers, carrots, rosemary, cilantro, green onions, lettuce, and spinach.

I also planted this pretty flower that has an AMAZING fragrance!
And.... A raspberry bush! We havn't planted it yet, but it's outside and it does look better than it does in the picture. (That's a picture from when I first bought it.)

I am happy because on Sunday we are leaving for a little vacation! My dad has work in Arizona and we are staying at a really nice hotel! This is just ONE of the pictures (I found on there website) of the pools where we are staying. They have a lazy river too! I can't wait to go get in that pool....


In my new swimsuit from lands end!
Isn't it cute?!


But I'm smiling even more because some of my favorite people are coming and meeting up with us in Arizona!! Susan, Dave, Josh and Holly! Were excited!

Evan, Susan and Josh on new years eve.

I am happy for this pretty picture of some flowers in my Grandparents backyard after General conference. Conference was awesome!

And I was so happy for the great hike me and Evan went on yesterday. It was so pretty!



And lastly am happy to share a sneak peak with you of some cookies I made today!

Okay and now I am happy because I finally got got up with some stuff I've been doing! I'm not at all caught up with my flicker but at least I am with my blog! :)

Flowers

I have a little plaque in my room with a flower on it and it says "Where flowers bloom there is hope!" I love it!
Here are some pictures I took that I love of some flowers recently.









Hope these pictures make you happy!

Also right now my Grandma is in the hospital with Meningitis. (The same thing Evan got last year.) She is having a very hard time and is not doing very well. If you could please keep her in your prayers or fasting that would be appreciated so much.

10 things on the 10th

1. I have SOOO much to blog about!! Well kind of... I just have to blog about our visit to the northern rim of the grand canyon (Amazing!) and out trip to Utah, but I have a ton of pictures!!

2. For now here is a picture of some flowers I took at the grand canyon. I liked how it turned out!


3. Since I posted a pic from the grand cayon here is one from Utah! Here is my cousin's son Max. I love this kid!! He is so funny and he is a poser. (I also went to an awesome cupcake shop you all know I love.... but more on that later!)


4. A few weeks ago I started Seminary! I thought it would be super hard for me because I really don't like waking up in the morning till 9:00. Really! But so far it has been fine as long as I go to bed earlier than I used to. I have a awesome teacher and all of the freshmen girls in my ward are in my class!

5. On Thursday I started all my classes at the school I go to called MSA. I am taking two classes there. The 1st one is called "Pryrimd project". It's all about Math & science, patterns wondering about things (and learning about them) and then finding the answers. My 2nd class is called "Classical acting". If you have taken two years of Shakespeare you can be in this class. It's about acting, Shakespeare works and other classics. (I am taking other classes too, but the ones I'm taking at MSA started on Thursday. )


6. I am really ready for fall so I can do more baking and crafts! I have ideas from other blogs so I am going to make a list of great treats and crafts to make. Here's an Idea I love. Isn't that so easy but cute?!

7. Okay kind of boring but.... This is my Flicker page if you want to see my pictures. It doesn't have annything new on it but it will maybe this weekend!

8. So we went to the beach like twice this summer (Sad I know, but we forgot and there wasn't great weather for the beach. We'll be sure to go this month!) but one of the times I went I got this sunset shot I liked!


9. I want to get back to blogging regularly. Like once a week at least. It could be pictures or just writing. I just put it off a lot of times! I want to post a lot so someday I can make a blog book from all my pictures!

10. Okay I saved this for last! This great lady we know does musicals for groups of friends that want to do a play. She hasn't done one in a long time but she decided to and today were the auditions. (Everyone gets a part). Oh and the play she picked was "The wizard of Oz". The 2 people I wanted to be in the play was Glinda the good witch and The wicked witch". She kept the group super small so we could all have more parts and more lines.

I was picked for.....
Miss gulch (The mean lady)..........

AND the wicked Witch!
I have never had a super mean/bad part in a play before so it should be fun! I am working on my voices and my evil cackle! :)

More flowers, leaves, and nature

Here are some more pictures I took a little bit ago. I am getting into liking taking pictures of things outside. I was really happy how all of these turned out. I had two more pictures I wanted to put on here but blogger isn't letting me for some reason. Oh well! Here are my pictures.

Dew drops

I love rainy days, and I love going out side and finding all our yard filled with dew drops. Each dewdrop is different, unique and beautiful. Enjoy!
