VEGAS BABY!!

Two weekends ago, I went to play in Las

Vegas with my comp softball team, the Sliders,

and it was so much fun! We played very well.. Our coach surprised us with a limo tour of Vegas, and we got to go sight seeing. I love the Sliders, they are amazing!

Here is my team in front of the fountains..

We went and saw the old strip and wow, it was so cool! That was something I had never seen before!

Ode To The Canyon

(Nothing Better)

There is

Nothing better

Than

Being Outdoors.

Heading up the canyon

We

Pull into the

Drive and

Tumble

Down the

Road.

We

Quickly change

Into our swimsuits

And grab

inflated inner tubes

There is

Nothing better

Than

Floating a lazy river

All day long.

When night falls

It brings the cold

And so

We start the fire.

We

Will sit and

Warm ourselves,

Making S'mores and

Laughing.

Soon it is late

And the

Coals die into flinders.

We

Head into the tent

And climb

Into our sleeping bags

We

Are out

As soon as our heads

Touch

The pillow

Tomorrow we will wake

And do it all again.

There is

Nothing better.

Cali Here I come!!

I just found out a few days ago... I am going to Disneyland!! July 17-19, I have a softball tournament in Anaheim, and my parents decided that we might as well go to Disneyland.. I figured this out and realized that this means I will be in Disneyland on my Sweet Sixteenth birthday!!! I am so Excited!! :D

California!!

Haha we looked for a parking spot so we could go to

the beach:) It took us about an hour! And Kaysen fell asleep. This is right after

he woke up.

Kaysen got this at Wild Animal Park- His name is rhinoceros

Bonkhead:) He carried him everywhere with him!

Kate and I both got pretty good tans while in California:)

It was an amazing trip!

Mom and dad went out and bought a bunch of fruit and muffins

and good things to eat so we wouldn't have to be stuck with fast

food, and I do love my muffins!! :D

Flags at Seaworld

Kate the Great!!

One of our famous "sunset parties". We used to always go up to the Perry's house and watch the sunset during last summer. It was so fun:)
This summer really was one to remember.. From california to Wally's house, where we went all the time, we had a blast!!

There wasn't much to do at Wild Animal Kingdom, so when we found this huge nest, we were so excited! I love this picture because it brings back a lot of great memories!

One of our classic Halloween costumes:) You and I are very creative, I have to admit- last year we were Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter..I am excited to see what we come up with next year!

We were kinda established as the painters of the house last year when we were fixing up the house so we could sell it. Since then, we are pros:) This is my closet, probably the most painting fun we have ever had!

Our trip to Denver is something that I will always treasure:) Even though the show was amazing, it was nothing compared to the little adventures that we had in between. The river was so high when we were there, we got to actually walk in it! I think I even remember you sittin in it:) The picture on the right is of the trip there. One of the longest car rides I have ever been on, it was also one of the most fun!

On the way, we stopped at a rest stop and these adorable rock chucks we so people friendly!! They came and ate right out of our hands!! That is most definitely something i will remember about that trip for the rest of my life:)

Remember that fateful day when I first stepped into your grandma's house? I most definitely do. And never, in a million years, would I have expected to be this close to you:) Here is to my best friend and big sister, Kate.

I love this picture because this is always what we are like around eachother!! I swear, we can never have a serious moment. Whether it be playing at Grandma's or dancing aroung Wal-Mart, we can entertain ourselves with no help:)

KATE!! I love you!! I have known you since I was a little sixth grader, and while we have grown up on the outside, on the inside we are still just little nerdy kids who love to have a blast:)

Ah, muffins. They are amazing, but do you know what makes them taste even better? When they are muffins in California!! We all had a great time, especially with the oh so exciting Wild Animal Park!!

They don't call you Kate the brown for nothing do they? It amazes me at how different we are, yet we get along so well!!

Yes!! After an hour of parking, we finally got to the beach!! Which is where we spent most of our time stalking those twin boys:) Kate learned that even if some people don't seem like they can speak english, they can certainly understand it.






Haha, there are some repeat pics in here... but I am still getting the hang of this, so bear with me, I will soon be a professional:)

Actually, there were some pics that I had in here already and accidentally added more.. And I can't figure out how to delete them, so...

Salute to the Sliders!!

We win as a team, we lose as a team, we share laughter and tears. But through it all, we are there for eachother.

Sliders- Being a team for five years!!
