Day 282, Seminary Graduation

Yup, after 4 years of sleeping through Seminary, I finally Graduated! HAHA.. Just kidding. I actually really enjoyed Seminary, and I'm going to miss it. I learned so much, and I'm so grateful for that. Thanks to all the awesome Seminary teachers! You all are so cool, and you've changed my life for the better.

Thanks everyone!! :)

Day 281, Memorial Day.

   Today my family and I did what we do best on Memorial day.. we hung out with each other. We hung out with each other because we can... because we have the freedom to be with each other, and love one another... I'm proud to be an American :)
   Scott, Sara, Cameron and little baby Ali went to lunch with my mom, dad and I.

Aren't they both just so cute??

  I also took my wonderful dogs out to the park today. They are such great dogs. I couldn't ask for better dogs. :) I love my dogs so much!

   I hope you all had a great Memorial day! I hope you spent time to remember all of the Men and Women who gave their lives so that you can live yours. I'm so grateful for them.

Day 280, Almost done!

    This is a picture of me on the first day of school this year. I can't believe how fast it has all gone... it doesn't even seem like the end of the year.. it honestly feels like there should be at least 2 more months of school left.. WHERE DID THE TIME GO??? So graduation is this Thursday, and I'm so freakin' excited! I'm so glad it's finally here. Its kinda ....bitter sweet... I'm so happy to be out of High School... but in a way, I'm going to miss it... miss the people. It's going to be weird to start doing something different with my life. School is all I know...  Going to school in the fall.. with 7 hours of school a day... have the weekends off... and then have a summer break.. but that's going to change. There won't be anymore summer breaks.. when I have work and all..It's good to start new things, but it's also hard...It kinda..... bitter sweet...

Day 279, Senior Banquet

    Ahh.. who doesn't like a nice evening with delicious food, friends, no grown ups, and dancing? That pretty much defined the Senior Banquet tonight... It was so much fun.. But I got to say, I don't think it was worth $30... but I'm so glad I went. It was a blast! It was such a great celebration for all the seniors now that it  the end of the year. This is probably the last time we will all hang out together.. (besides the all night party on Thursday)...

Here are some pictures from tonight...

Marrissa and I

Erin and Rachel..

All the seniors dancing their little hearts out...

Erin, Sarah and me...

Chase and Justin..

Caitlin and me..

and more dancing...

   I wish tonight could have been longer, because I had so much fun.. and I'm going to miss... most.... of these people. We are such an awesome class of 2011

Day 278, SPRING FLING!

  Now since the school year is...practically over, it's time for SPRING FLING! Spring fling is where school is let out at 12 on the Friday before the last day of school, and the entire school goes to the park and has a huge party. I will be honest, I actually haven't been a big fan of Spring fling in the past two years.. but this year was so much fun.. I think it was because I'm a Senior. I don't know... it was just a blast!

Here are some pictures of Spring Fling. :)

My favorite thing about Spring Fling today was the photo booth...

Andrea, Bailey, and Jessica..

I got some Cotton Candy :)

Can you tell which character from Kung fu Panda I am?

Jessica and me on the bounce slide... HAHA

Jessica and Bailey...

Mitch and Gwen...

Jessica and me :)

   I can't believe that the school year is over! Now I can finally graduate next week! It feels like school just started! This has been the fastest moving year out of all of them... I can't believe it! But I'm so ready for summer!!!

Day 277, Sunsets....

This is a picture of the sunset that I took a few days ago. Sunsets are so amazing! Each one is different, but they are always beautiful. I love to watch the sunset! It's my favorite time of day.

Day 276, IT'S TIME!

Sara my sister in-law went into labor early today! I can't believe that baby Alivia is finally here. I'm going to have another niece, and Cameron is going to be a big brother!! I got the news that Sara's water broke when I was sitting in my 2nd period class... and to be honest I was having a really hard day, and I really wanted to go home, but I couldn't because I had a test in my last class.. I was texting my mom about my troubles, and out of the blue she text me... " SARA'S WATER JUST BROKE" I couldn't believe it. Now I had no choice but to leave school! It was so funny.. At first I didn't believe it, but it was true. While everyone was at the hospital, I me and Cameron got to hang out for the day! It was a blast, and it was also intense... waiting for the call that she arrived and all....

   Cameron and I got to have lunch with each other... we watch Tangled (which is his new favorite movie) and we watch Monsters Inc. twice! HAHAHA It was a fun day... Scott finally text me with a picture of the new baby, and told me she was here! Cameron and I packed our bags and Scott came and took us to go see her...

Isn't she so sweet? She is just so little! I can't believe that she was just in Sara's tummy, and now she is out in the world.. it's so weird. I love her already!

   Cameron is such a sweet older brother... It was so cute when he saw her for the first time! He gave her a kiss, and said hello. Also little baby Ali started to hiccup, and Cameron laughed every time! I'm so happy that baby Ali is here now! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY BABY ALIVIA!!

Day 275, I miss my Grandma...

Over the past few days, I've been missing my Grandma more and more. I really wish she was here to see me graduate next week.... I wish that I could have sent her a graduation announcement.. I wish she could have sent me a birthday card, and taken me to lunch for my 18th birthday... I wish she were here.

I love you Grandma.

Day 274, Random Picture

This is a picture I took when my family and I took a trip to Denver a few years ago. It was taken in our hotel right outside the room we were staying in. This really made me feel safe! HAHA... Fire is one of my biggest fears... can you imagine if there actually was a fire, and we couldn't pull the fire alarm? Yeah.. never staying at that hotel again!!

 

Day 273, A cake for Kaily....

    As you have heard, I have started to make cool professional cakes... I made my 2nd cake today. I made it for my friend Kaily. It was her birthday on Friday, and I promised her a cake. She wanted a beach themed cake, so I did my best... so here it is....

   So, I must say, it's not that bad for my 2nd cake.... right? It took me two days to make. You can eat everything on the cake except for the umbrella. Kaily really liked it, it's really fun to make cakes, but it's also very frustrating. But I enjoy doing it, and practice makes perfect. If you guys ever want me to make you a cake, just give me a call, and I will see what I can do. :) 

Day 272, Puppies and Chickens...

Lauren and Aaron came over to the house today to hang out. They really enjoyed the hammock. Aren't they just so cute? They loved to swing in the hammock, and they want one of there own now. My Mom, Dad and I decided that we wanted to go see there new house, their cute little puppy, and their chickens.. so we headed over..

This is Lauren with her new puppy. Her name is Lilly. She is such a great dog, she is so small, and she loves the kids so much. It's so cute how she runs and plays with Lauren in the yard.

Aaron is such a cutie with the dog, Lilly is the perfect size for him... and she loves him so much. It's so cute...

Aaron will just sit down, and she will jump into his lap, and start licking his face, it's so funny to watch. They both are just so cute.

Lauren and Aaron also have Chickens. The chickens hatched out of there eggs early spring, and now are getting so big. They live in the back yard in the chicken coop... I'm actually really jealous that they have Chickens, I want some now.. but my neighbors would freak. LITERALLY.

This is the chickens eating out of my hand. I've seen a baby chicken, and an adult chicken, but I've never seen a chicken in between like these ones are... it's kind of interesting. Also their little puppy chases them around the yard.... I wonder what my dogs would do if I had chickens......? Hmm..

Day 271, It's a date..

My friend Rachel asked me on a date the other day, and tonight was the night of the date. It was so much fun. It was all the Young men and Young women of Rachel's ward, and they got to ask someone on a date for a "Date Night".. We had dinner, played night games, and played some other games.. It was so much fun, the best night I've had in a long time I must say...

It actually got me thinking that school is almost out, and I won't hang out with some of these people ever again... it was fun to hang out with them... I kind of regret not going to more parties during High School, and just hanging out... maybe I'll do more of that in College.

This is Rachel and me. :) I'm so glad to have a friend like her... THANKS RACHEL!

Daniel and I had the same shirt on... just a little embarrassing... :S

One of the games we played was this weird marshmallow game... we had to put 3 marshmallows in our mouths, and say a tongue twister. It was so funny to watch.. I didn't do it, but it was still fun to watch..

Oh Chase, you are such a funny guy!

Rachel saying her tongue twister... HAHA..

Chase asked Sarah to the date... and this is Sarah playing the marshmallow game.

Tonight was so much fun!

Thanks again Rachel!!

Day 270, My favorite sport...

  Now, you know me, you know that I'm not the biggest guy into sports. They.... just aren't entertaining to me. I actually find them quite boring, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WATCH THEM ON TV... But the one sport that I like to watch... in person... is Baseball. I love to go to the Baseball field and watch a game with popcorn and a hot dog.

   My favorite Baseball team is the Boston Red Sox. I went to a Red Sox game last summer, and I loved it! It was such a blast, and WE WON! I also like the Angles.... but the Red Sox are still my favorite. I hope to go to more Red Sox games in the future. What's your favorite team??

Day 269, What's your dream job?

   Everyone has a dream job.. maybe it's a Vet., a Doctor, Actor/Actress, Singer... It could be anything. The only thing bad about those dreams is.... is that dream obtainable? Can we actually reach those dream, and have our dream job? Well, it's all up to you. "If you can dream it, you can do it."... My dream job is to work at Disneyland. I actually don't really care what I would do in the park, anything is fine with me.....except picking up the horse poop... or cleaning the bathroom... other then that, as long as I'm in Disneyland, I should be fine. Disneyland is like my home away from home. I love it so much, and I feel so happy when ever I'm there.. I couldn't think of a better place to work. Now if you want to get real technical, I would LOVE to be one of the performing characters in the night show "Fatasmic" at Disneyland. Now that would be really cool. I would be in Disneyland, and performing! Maybe one day I can work at Disneyland..... I would love that.

Day 268, Grey's Anatomy

  Thanks to my friend Sarah, I have found a new favorite TV show. It's been around for a while now, but I haven't really ever watched an episode until now. It's Grey's Anatomy!! .. I HAVE SO MANY TV SHOWs THAT I ENJOY!! Sarah loves the show, and we started watching the first season.... and to be honest... SHE GOT ME HOOKED.. it's weird, you actually crave the show. If I'm not watching the show, I'm talking about it, if I'm not talking about it, I'm thinking about it... hahahaha... well that was just a litte exaggerated.... but I still really really enjoy the show. Each episode is so intense, and then it just leaves you hanging for more. I can't believe that it took me this long to finally start watching this show! There are so many shows that I love, and need to start watching... its insane!

Day 267, Mondays?.....

What is it about Mondays that everyone hates? Is it because the party of the weekend is over? Is it because after sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday now it's time to wake up early? It's the day we go back to school... or work... Why does everyone hate Mondays?? When it's Monday morning, does it seem like eternity until Friday?

......Why?......



When it comes to me, I hate Mondays. But I don't understand why... The best answer I can come up with is... I hate it because everyone else hates it. But why hate Mondays? What is truly to hate? I mean... It's a new week, a new start.... don't you think we should start over, and make this week better than the last? Do something different.. make your week forth while... drink a Mountain Dew on Monday mornings to keep you going if you need to... Make plans... Smile... Laugh... Live your life.. Turn that frown upside down, and look at the bigger prospective.. breath.

Don't get me wrong... Saturday is still my favorite day of the week.

It's just... Monday and I have somethings to work out between us...

Day 266, I love my new hammock!

I love to be outside. I love to just sit relax and just enjoy life... and what better way to do that then to do it in a hammock? I bought this new awesome red hammock from Target for just $30. My family use to have a hammock, but it broke a few years back. I've been missing it ever since. I really like this hammock, but I must not lie, it could be just a bit bigger... but oh well.. it will do. This is where I will be spending most of my time this summer... maybe reading, star gazing, and maybe a nap or two... I love my new hammock! :)

Day 265, Chalk art.

  One of the many things I love in life is art. I love al different kinds of art, and I love to learn more about it. The only bad thing is I'm not very good at it. But some people are so amazing at it, and it just blows my mind. I see all the different kinds of art work, and I think to myself, how are people so talented??
  Well, my family and I went to the chalk art festival down in Bountiful, and it was so amazing.. as it always is. I don't understand how people can draw such amazing drawings with just CHALK, and on the sidewalk!

 Cameron got to bring his bike to ride around while he looks at all the different peices of art work, he is so cute, and had so much fun.

HERE IS SOME OF THE AWESOME DRAWINGS...



Amazing right?

Maybe next year I will give it a try, and draw something... It might look like a kid did it, but at least I tried. :)
