Apple store fun

Me and ashtyn went with my dad to the Apple store earlier today and we played around with the new iPods (that have cameras) and computers... and we emailed ourselves all the pics we took :) here's some (or all) of them...

those were the ones taken by the iPod... and now the ones w/ the special effects >:D

Oh the joy of picture taking...

My Birthday!!!

Soooo i know i haven't posted i a while, but i WILL REDEEM MYSELF!
by posting about my birthday party on Oct 15th  :D yay!
It's going to be a halloween party becuase we can't go trick or treating this year :(
and i'm inviting people from my church mostly... and one of my other friends and Ashtyn... OH AND ASHLEY! (Landreth)
we're going to be making haunted houses and watch The Villiage... which i heard is REALLY creepy.
it was either The Villiage or E.T., and that alien thing creeps me out SO much so that was ruled out:)
here's a picture of the haunted houses we'll be making~

it uses like 12 chocolate bars per house (plus melted chocolate for glue) so we might substitute some choc bars for gram crackers.
BE SURE TO WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY:)!!!!!!!

oh and HAPPY (early) BIRTHDAY Tommy!

I also found out today that one of my friends was ALSO born on October 10th, so that was pretty epic.

school...

like everyone else, i am TOTALY pumped for the 1st day of school! (*cough* not really *cough*) my open house is tomorrow, along with tennis and piano lessons. so fun :(! when i was at Grandma's and Grandpa's house with the Wilkinsons and Ashtyn, my mom called and said that she got a call from my school... and i got the hardest science teacher they have! yet another reason to be PHSYCHED for the 1st day.
hope you guys have a great year!

mockingjay

mockingjay is coming out in 2 days!  i cant wait to read it but my mom said that she had to read it 1st :'( and i have to finish my essays for school before i can start anyway...so sad:(
if you have read the hunger games series, comment and say who you think Katniss will end up with! (Gale or Peeta)
I personaly want her to stay with Peeta he's so much sweeter and he was in the arena with her!

thanks!

hadads lake

yesterday (monday) my friend Kristen invited me to go with her to Hadads Lake (hey- dads :) because her step- dad had some police convension thing there.  it was lots of fun!  Rachel (someone from my 4/5th grade class) also came, and it was good to see her again too.  it was three different pools, two small ones with a slide and volleyball in the water. the big one was as deep as 20 feet and had 2 rope swings, 2 floaty trampolines connected by a floaty bridge, and a tower with two giant yellow squishy things bellow it that you jump onto, and then you go to the end of it and someone else jumps on and you go flying! TONS OF FUN! but it did hurt a lot when you jumped onto the squishy things because it was usualy a face plant... oh well:)

painting the fence/ deck

on saturday me and my family woke up early and started staining the deck/ fence before it got too hot.  after 20 minutes, we lost Marley and Curtis, Courtney came and left thru out the day, and Eli quit after like an hour.  so for most of the day (into afternoonish) me, my dad, my mom, and dallin were all working on the fence.  we got slushies in the middle, and talked while we broke our backs staining every last inch of our huge fence.  we used about 10 gallons of stain (EXPENSIVE) and played games and had treats after the kids went to bed. we also got gelati:D my favorite part!
