took me long enough... but I made it!

I made it to my 100th post! YAY!

I remember the day I wrote my first post

I was embarrassed about it

that is why I never told anyone I had one

but now I am not. (well, that's a lie)

On a different note...

My summer has just been wonderful!!! 

This summer

I went to bear lake for a few days with my aunt and her husband family! I had a lot of fun! I must say The Anderson family is a crazy bunch. They like to poke fun at each other, which is was comical.  I caught on to their sarcastic ways and had a little fun myself. It was great! I would tell, but frankly I am not up to publicly humiliating myself. (Yup, I am that good).

I rock at knee boarding!

I have spent a lot of time with this lovely lady. 

We are cousins

 and best friends. 

We done a lot with each other these past few weeks. 

I went to her tea party, her relief society. 

We went to seven peaks, and lots of sleep overs. 

Over the 4th we were in a parade!

We were doctors 

Super Hot doctors 

We still have a cabin trip planned

and another seven peaks adventure

before our school starts in 3 weeks 

Spontaneity is my middle name...(sometimes)

On a Monday I decided I wanted to to camping 

so I did, 

with my siblings 

We all squished in a 4 man tent

it was quite cozy!

Well, I have plenty more to tell, 

but I have been at this post for hours

and I am done (for right now).

Over excited!!!

I am super duper excited for the holiday tomorrow!!! 

I love the 4th of July

It is by far the best holiday. 

I am making a cute flag cake ( that is why I am still up, waiting for the cake to cook)

I am being in a parade, which I helped decorate the float 

I am spending all weekend at my grandma's 

I got an 82 on my test today! YEAH!!! 

Happy 4th every one!!!! 

Some people have dog...

While, some people have dogs as pets

and some have cats

we have sheep

and take them for walks.

My dad struggles, he takes videos instead of a  picture 

Also,

We ate outside for dinner! 

On of my favorite parts of summer.

a HUGE catch up post

I have been meaning to catch up on all the stuff that I did during the summer and the some during this school year. 

1st lets start with the temple walk

That was amazing!

 It was hard but 

so worth it!

I learned so many lessons that can be applied in everyday life

I can do hard things and with the strength of the lord I can do hard things

Right before we left
5:00 AM

Lunch time 

swollen hands

biggest blister ever!!

Next big event I went to the Tim Mcgraw concert!!!!

that concluded my catch up for now...but more to come later....

 p.s. today I bore my testimony 

As of late

The past few weeks have been pretty busy for me. Most of it was not planned busy but random and fun adventures. Last Wednesday I went with my dad and my sister to Kanab to buy a truck. Well I got to drive my dad old truck home. On the way home we decided to stop at Bryce Canyon. 

Since my dad is obsessed with elk we also had to stop and take picture of an elk breeding farm

After I got home from a 1 day road trip. I went right to bed because thursday I was heading up to my grandmas for a funeral and just to spend a few days with my grandma and my aunts.

Who knew that my grandma would be trying to set me up with so many boys. I am pretty sure my grandma is ready to have me get married....
At the viewing Thursday night I was sitting next to my grandma. out of no where she just started talking to me about all the good boys up in good ol' Oakley.
As I sat with her in sacrament she kept turning to me and saying.... "Oh kimmy! that Jones* boy is sharp. oh he is a sharp kid."  I would just smile at her.... (That Jones boy wasnt very cute.... but he did play the piano very well).
After church we ate Lunch. During most of the meal and a little after my family discussed the boys I should date.
The conversation went a little like this....

Annie(my aunt): "Kimmy you should go out with Steve*
Grandma: " yes Kimmy he is a good kid."
Annie: "or there's mike*
Grandma( mouth drops open) Oh! no! he is not a good kid"
Grandpa: " You dont want to get stuck with that kid he is to touchy with the girls."
* Names have been changed
Pretty much that is how the whole conversation went... just different names were brought up.It was quiet grand. Now I have a clear understanding of who and who not to date in Oakley.
The funniest part was my grandmas kept bringing up the Jones kid... She says she is going to talk to him next week and tell him that I thought he is a sharp kid (but really that is all her thinking)... so I will have to see if she really does say anything to him.

Summer adventure thus far

My summer so far has been kind of crazy! I figure that I was only at my house 14 out of the 30 days of June. A few hours after I graduated Alexis and I loaded up my car and drove to St. George.  I really enjoyed driving down with Alexis. I really love her. I enjoyed her company.  We arrived the St. George about 10:30ish.... but with the help of Alexis Mom and Sara Allen we didn't make it to condo till almost mid-night.  We learned how to use our common sense though  haha.  We spent most of the time by or in the pool. Make sure sunscreen is applied regularly. You just might end up a little red.

and we are off....

When our St. George adventure was over a another started shortly with youth conference the following Thurday.


Strawberry days is one of my favorite weeks during the summer. I went all four nights to the rodeo.  The parade was so hot.

When strawberry days ended I had Saturday, Sunday and Monday to get ready for camp.
Camp this year was great! I got to be a Junior leader. Pretty much I did the behind the scene work. It is so rewarding to see all my hard work pay off.

This is how we shop at girls camp

Meet  Annie

Girls camp wrapped up the next Monday I was off  to St. George with Alexis and her family and the lovely Allen family. It got up to 112 one day. I spent most of the day lying out on a floaty in the pool.
Sara, Jen, Alexis and I went to the St. George temple. It is always fun and exciting to see how each temple is ran just a little bit differently.

I came home from St. George friday was a day for me to relax then satuday off my grandparents house for the Fourth of July weekend.

Graduation!

538 names. 8speakers. 2 1/2 hours long. That pretty much sums up my Graduation. My mom insisted on going early to take pictures with my cousin. Her graduation was right before mine.

Tika and I so excited to graduate!!!

Right before graduation

We graduated!

All I asked for graduation was a cake

My Best friends

Being graduated doesn't feel any different... But as i reflect back on my high school years I am so grateful them. I have only one regret. I wish I wasn't so shy. My new goal for college is to make as many friends as I can and just talk to everyone!
