taylor....

So... my grandma this week called all of her grandchildren blank pages except my brotehr because she never hears from them BUT my thinking is I may be an empty notebook ready to be written in.... but not a blank page. Just thought I should clear that up.

Last night I tried for the first time in my life to make a sculpture for my dads birthday. It was cute and all but when I was baking it it tipped over in the oven and I didn't know so when I pulled it out it was broken but I have toothpicks holding it up so no problem. I also made a teddy bear which turned out a million times more adorable. My sister, Daylene, and I also decked out our house before he got home. Last night I stayed at my cousin Heidi's house with the littte girls and we stayed up till around four watching movies and just talking about a lot of stuff and then today we went to the fabric store to buy a ton of tulle to make tutus. Mine is freaking adorable and I love it even though it took almost three hours to just tie it all on to my elastic waist band. Other than that I should be packing to leave to Utah to take Daylene home and go school clothes shopping but like usual I am procrastinating. I'm wayy excited to go though cause Saturday my dads side of the family is going to the Everetts cabin to see the youngest brother on my dads side and his wife and kids. I'm mainly excited just to go back to where I met Taylor. Woohoo!!! Go family connections introducing me to thee most amazing people that become my best friends.

Until then.....

Peace, love, understanding.♥

lately....

I've been to the Hillman family reunion... that's my dad's side. It was great... super tiring and i got a major migraine but i loved it. I got so much closer to some of my cousins that I haven't been so close to... ever. We were up at Heise so we got this awesome place to stay. Right next to the driving range and on saturday night/ sunday morning we played glow in the dark caprture the falg with glowsticks until like two in the morning and it was awesome. Sure the ground was super uneven and many tripped and got hurt (including me) it was the bomb. Now Daylene is staying up here for a coupld weeks and when we go to take her home in American Fork we're going to go to seven peaks and play in the water up there. (Michael and I decided this before we left the reunion.) Also... I kinda broke my pointer knuckle on my right hand playing volleyball. It gets VERY intense.



Last night I hung out with CJ.... took my sleeping meds... not a good idea when people are there watching a movie with you. HA! He stayed until like one and when Kung Fu Panda got over. I honestly don't remember a lot of that movie... or that night actually. But I hear I was just great to hang out with he says.

pitch-ures.

Well.... I went to Harry Potter. They forgot a lot of stuff... but it was alright. [: I think the date part about going to the movie was wayy more fun. I guess I did like the movie.... just left out important stuf f . Um.... today I had a photo shoot with the sister. Senior pics people. She may be fifteen but boy can she shoot em. [: I love how it all turned out. they seriously rock. She's sooo proud of herself too. see!? <------Woohoo. I also found out I have four cavities. GRR. and.... I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out. soon. UGH! I'm not a happy person about that little information. But I'll be knocked out the whole time so I guess the only part that sucks is the whole looking like a chipmunk thing, yeah... not excited. Oh well... I guess they were saying it would have happened eventually and if not now it would have been worse later.

I'm also never taken MiKayla to a midnight premiere ever again. She can NOT handle the not sleeping part of the deal. She has taken two naps today. Each being about three or four hours long and is already going to bed. It's only ten. [: I finally got addresses for John Taylor. Now he gets to stop complaining so there.

Anyways... I'm in the middle of a project... putting about 300 pictures on my walls.... it's very tedious but it looks so cool when it's all finished. I already have one wall covered and I'm working on covering part of my red wall. My fasha is not happy about my printing all the pictures off though. OH WELL! What's done is done and now... I'm printing more off and since he is in bed.... he will never know. [:

Peace, love, and understanding. ♥

fourth of july.

so.... i was going to add another post earlier this month but... i hurt all my fingers and right on the tips where all the nerves are so... it hurt like hella a lot to type at all. so NOW i'm great and can fill in allll the stuff i've been up to [: fourth of july week was hard. a lot of working... at the fireworks stand that terek and heidi had mikay and i working at with them. wow... i never knew how much work those took and how much B.S.ing comes in handy when you're selling fireworks you've never seen and you're telling people how awesome they are just to sell them so you can go home. it was interesting and quite the learning experience but now i've got to fill out my application for barnes and noble and hope i get that job. which i really want. badly.

now all i have to worry about is to stop being sick so much, get a job, and finish school. which i'm realy looking forward to. i seriously cant wait for the summer to be over. i'm tired of staying up late and not getting up early. weird. i know. but for real.... id rather get up and complain about being at school rather than getting up at noon with no job or anything to do except stuff for my parents. although not having anything to do has given me the chance to play the piano again. even though i'm still not good at all. [: but thats okay. i enjoy being at the level i'm at.

what else.... oh john taylor is doing amazingly well. this month he has been moved to a spanish speaking mission. which personally to me is hilarious. but yeah he's so good. other than him bugging me about getting addresses of his friends to keep in touch. hmm... oh ive also been waiting on letters from a few missionaries. have you ever noticed when you WANT a letter it never gets there fast enough but when its like bills or something they come way too often and too soon. ANNOYING MUCH!? i think so... immensely.

the fourth... well to start was the third and i helped many people decorate our girls/boys(mens) fed float for the parade. ugh.. it got rained on so we had to redo it which amazingly enough went along a lot more smoothly with five people working on it rather than about twelve. oh well. so we got it done at chances house and the next day we played on it in the parade which was fun cause we all just messed around the whole time. and then i went to work from about 12 to 7 and then went to the river. walked around forever which could have killed me. saw my favorite jakob in thee entire world. ah i miss him so super much. and then walked to zach grandmas house and zach and i watched tv until about five minutes before the actualy fireworks started. nicole sprained her ankle super bad while running to his house to make it on time and so that was the drama of the fireworks and then it took us about two hours to get all our stuff together for our "camping" trip. we found out... i'm the only one who can start a fire, use an axe, be prepared, pack food, and go camping. kinda sad really. people were lighting paper on fire and then putting it on the wood so i'd blow it out crumple it up and put it under the kindling i had. wow. it was fun and i basically was the mom about fire safety and staying awake and keeping everyone warm with the fire. then at around five- thirty in the morning we packed everythign up and went to dennys to eat which we also always do. ah.. it was fun and tehn i went home and slept till about threeor so.

ah... yesterday we had the annual girl's pudding slip n' slide. this year it ended up being more like a food fight. and i never knew how hard it was to wash pudding out of your hair. glad i have a bud to scratch my back or at least scrub. thanks lis. it took forever and i was sure i'd be a brown woman forever but i'm clean and it was awesome. although i have an ear infection now because i got sooo much in my ear. oh well... it's so SO worth it. [: after that i came home and took another shower after scrubbing at gem lake for a long time and then took a nap. i've been cleaning our vehicles all week too. still not done but cj came over to "help" clean the van.... i din't let him though. i'm just that way. and then we watched the lion king. which is one of my favorite disney movies... behind the little mermaid and a few others of course. oh!!! also i found out my amazing cousin brittney is getting married. sure she graduated a couple months ago from high school but whatever. she might be getting married on august 9th which leaves me lost because thats the day after skylars fun run and i SO badly don't want to miss it but i'd hate to miss her big day. i don't know... skylars my brother. so i can't decide.

today.... nothing. at all. i finished washing the outside of the van, water the front yard and thats it. i feel super sick for some reason too. must be all that delicious chicken cordon blue i've eaten the past two days. and the pudding and running nonstop all last week. well until probably later tonight.....




peace, love, and understanding. ♥
