H2O MADNESS

So I keep talking about H2O. It's a mermaid show that all of my friends are obsessed with! It is the best! You know how I feel about mermaids! Anyway these are so picks from the show!
In season 1&2 these are the main girls Rikki, Cleo, Emma! 
In season 3 they added a new girl named Bella! 
Carlie made all these for me! 
In the show they become mermaids in a moon pool on an island called Mako. 
I know it's completely cheesy! But I can't help it! I love this show!! Haha!!!! 


Ariel vase

So while I was in Philmont I was on Pinterest and saw this BEAUTIFUL painting! I can't read the signature but all I know is that is is gorgeous! 
I thought I would try my hand at drawing something like this and this was my attempt! In my opinion it's not to shabby! Especially for me, because I'm not an artist! 
Anyway I loved the picture so much that while I was in the craft place I bought a vase and painted her on it with the ocean surrounding her! I just finished it! Well I plan to put scales on her tail and outline her hair layers but here it is! 
And this is the back side I know there not the best pictures but you get the idea! 

COLOR ME MINE

Color me mine is a place where we can go and paint ceramics and get them fired! Anna, Dee, and I went! I chose a converse shoe, Anna chose a vase, and Dee chose a turtle! We had so much fun! 


This is Anna's vase!! Isn't it cool? 
We all signed it with our H2O mermaid names! Anna's says Cleo! 
This is Carlie's Turtle! She is so artistic! The shell is a ship! 
Hers is signed Emma! 
Here is my shoe! It's the ocean! The very bottom is sand and it has sea foam and then it gets darker and darker!! 
There's my mermaid name! 
We made a huge mess! But it was TONS of fun!

July 16 
Today I went in to get a mold for my new retainer...yes I lost mine in New Mexico. It was an accident! After class I went to meet with the fam, and as usual dads class went over time. I was starving so mom got snacks and I put it in my pocket then we went to lunch. When I went to get it...it was gone. Anyway so that's coming on Wed. We did a photoshoot with Addy today! So cute! Mom took the pics! I'm gonna edit!!! OH YES!

Today we had a late night (with Anna dee) while her babysitter went and picked up Anna's parents from the airport! They were in Israel! Her babysitter was super fun and cool! She took us shopping ! Anyway at night we made cookies messed around listening to music, watched H2O and almost went on the roof but it was wet! 
Oh ya! So get this I was at Orem high and it started pouring! I was drenched! Then there was a huge puddle at the end of the coldesac and we layed and rolled in it!! Man! CRAZY FUN!!!

July 15, 2013

Today we went to my dads cousin homecoming! Then I watched Ice age with my sisters then we played at the cabin! Don't tell but Carlie and I found this like rope bridge that went across the river and we went across it like 6 times! 
Honivah got all tangled and it was hilarious! 

Philmont Trip 7/5-7/12/13

After Fourth of July we left in the morning and drove to New Mexico. There's a Boy Scout camp that puts on a 2 week Lds conference! Only stake presidents and YM stake presidents can go in those weeks and people in the church offices can train them. While they are being trained their family's do activities with age groups. I was in a group called the Broncos my leaders were Caroline and Cameron! We had the funniest time!  

Here's the girls in the car! Watching movies and eating snacks! 
On the way there we passed a rock and it totally looks like a Bull Dog! 
This was our first moment at Philmont!  We are next to the fountain! Yes they have a pond with a fountain. This was luxury camping! 

These were our 2 tents! 215-216! 
Mom and I shared a tent! This was our space! 
They gave us all name tags and this was mine! 
We had to make a family flag! Ours ROCKS!
On one day it poured and poured! I got so soaked! 
We did tons of activities!! Even archery!! I got a Bulls eye! 
We also went on a hike and I climbed up on the huge rock! 
We also went to a handicraft building and it had millions and millions of crafts! I made a dream catcher and a painted a vase with Ariel on it!! 
Overall this trip was amazing!! I was so sad to leave! Thanks Dad for the great trip and life long memories!!! 

On our way home we stopped at Mesa Verde, it's Indian ruins!

4th of July 2013

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE! 
I am so grateful for the chance to live in America! I think I take it for granted because I've never known better, but when I learn about other countries and how horrible some are I realize how blessed I am! To start the day off we had breakfast at the cabin! This year instead of doing our tradition where we go to BYU and watch the fireworks then drive home in the back of the truck and hope we don't get caught by police ;), we stayed and had coldesac of fire!! 

Heres the twinners Addi and Grace! 
Ali and Evie enjoying their breakfast meal! 
We all sat outside and ate in a big circle! There's my dad, Amy and baby Taft, grandma and me! 
I think Ella's had a little to much orange juice ;)
So skip forward a couple of hours and now it is night time and everyone is outside messing around! SO FUN! This is me and my bestie Anna who I met when I was 5! And the other is my friend Aubree who I met when I was like 10ish I think! I have such wonderful friends! That lady one is of me and my cousin Carlie or as I call her Dee! Known all my life and is like a sister to me! 
Last but not least is my family! Well not my dad but there's Gracie, Evie, Mom, and I! 
At night dad shot off fireworks well small ones and we danced to music and had the best time and made tons of fun memories!
