Girl's Camp

Girls Camp 2007...on the last night it looks a little something like this... This is the group picture with our Bishop because on the last night the Bishops come for dinner, testimony meeting and Bishop time with their ward.
One of the games we played was the paper game...it's hard to explain but here is a picture (above)

This is my favorite game that we play every year. It goes something like this...there are two tables and two teams per table. There is a pan with marshmallows and VASELINE! on one side of the table and two buckets on the other side. The object is to get the most marshmallows in the bucket as possible. It doesn't sound that easy...You start by putting vaseline on your nose then you have to pick up a marshmallow with your nose that has vaseline on it then take it to the bucket.


As you can see it isn't very easy. The first time I went the marsmallow fell off my nose 6 inches away from where I picked it up. So you really have to coat your nose with alot of vasiline. Sometimes it doesn't help much. Then what sucks is that the vaseline can get up your nose and in your hair(if it's down). So some of us like me had vaseline up our noses. We wiped off the vaseline with wipes but it felt like it was still there! No big it was totally worth it we had so much fun!


Another game we played is we take a "Big Red" gum wrapper lick it and put it on our forehead. We had a contest to see who could keep it on the longest. The only problem was that they didn't stay on that long. Oh and it doesn't look that easy because after a while it starts to burn really badly...so badly that some of the girls were screaming it was pretty fuuny. Notice: my friend on the left thought it was a dumb contest and decided not to do it.


Check out the gang with gum wrappers on their forehead. They all look so funny!


One more game we played was the "scissors game" and all it invloves is a pair of scissors. I don't want to give out how the game works but its fun to watch everyone figure it out. Notice: Sister Dunnings face as she passes the scissors after her turn and she doesn't understand how it works...so funny.


This is another one of Sister Dunning trying to figure out the game and laughing at herself.


Dinner on Bishops night. We had roast beef which was actually pretty good, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad bar and brownies.

Cute Sister Dunning whipping out the fancy camera.


These are the four awesome people who took time away from their families and spent four days with some crazy but good girls. Thanks you're awesome!


We sure loved singing those good old camp songs...haha.


Sister Dunning working the craft station which was a great success!

Kirsten and I having so much fun at the mini towne fair.
Overall camp was so much fun even though I wasn't there the whole time but I know the girls had a blast!

Grad Nite!

On graduation night the seniors go to an all night party from 10 pm till 6 am! We don't know what it is until we get there...it's always a big secret. This year it was at Dave & Busters at the irvine spectrum. We got to play all the games almost all of them were unlimited! They had other games going on and stuff but one of my most favorite things was, they had was a station where these girls from a hair salon do crazy hair. I was so excited and couldn't wait and I got it done and I told the lady I loved it...no joke I really did. haha. check it out... This is when I had just gotten home at 6:30 in the morning!
I was so tired that I took my pillow and went to my bonus room and fell asleep on the couch. My aunt caught me and took a picture while I was sleeping. Whats funny though is that I went all day long with that hair. I went to PEI WEI for lunch with my family and my hair was like that and we went to other stores and people just stared. I didn't care though because I liked it so much and because I was so tired!

Graduation!

Last thursday I finally graduated from high school! I thought those 4 years were never gonna end! haha. I have lots of pics...





































The End! I would put captions but I'm super tired and I don't really feel like it. I'm sure you can figure out where I am in the pictures with alot of people although some not.



YW/YM Combined pool party

On the 20th the ym and yw had a combined pool party and it was tons of fun. We swam, celebrated Kirtsens birthday, celebrated the seniors graduating etc. So as you can tell the leaders gave those of us that are graduating some gifts all having to do with college. We got all kinds of stuff we'll need etc. It was really nice of them. Notice:the graduation caps. haha.

As usual the laurels and priests have a competition this one being who could keep there hand in a bucket of ice the longest...it hurt really bad after a while so bad that we were all screaming and yelling. haha. But no one would take their hand out because we all wanted to win of course so it was worth the sacrifice.
Vanessa and I proudly beat the boys and being the last ones to take our hands out and we did at the same time. We thought we were pretty cool for beating the boys. haha.





Happy 10th birthday Adam!

On the 13th Adam turned 10. We had a little party for him at our house and another party for him an his friends at Lamppost pizza... Adam got a PSP(playstation portable). My dad hadn't gotten it yet so he just explained that and put a picture of it on a paper.
I made Adam pose for the camera before he blew out ALL of his candles. By the way the ice cream pie thing was so amazing!..my mom made it. :)
Adam showing no enthusiasm for the camera eats pizza with his buddies.
Cupcakes!
Adam and all his buddies! so cute!

prom

On June 2nd I went to my school prom. I went with a guy in my ward and it was really fun (except all the dirty dancing that was going on.) Sorry that I forgot to flip the last picture...I'm still learning how to do the whole blog thing.


Thanks to my mom for adding sleeves, doing "tan in a can"(thats what she likes to call spray tan), my hair and make up. You're awesome!

Hawaii

Almost 2 weeks ago we went to the beautiful island of Kauai! It was so awesome! Everyone was so nice and friendly. We just had a blast. Here are some pics to show off our fun we had... We stopped at one of those fruit stands on the side of the road and Adam got his very own "baby pineapple"
A raft that we took along the Na Pali coastline took us in a few caves like this one and we were able to take a quick shot.


Enjoying a bumpy but fun ride on the raft.


Look how close the dolphins got to our raft! They were so close I could've reached out and touched one but it's against the law...I think. Plus I didn't want to fall off the raft from dipping down to low.



As we wait to go on the raft I cover my head with a towel to avoid a bug that would not stop following me! I hate bugs!
oops! I forgot to turn the picture! This is cute little Adam about to get into "Queen's Bath."

While Kirsten, Travis and I relax in the sun dad decides to take a picture and Adam poses for it.



It was really windy when we went to the "Grand Canyon of Kauai"


Here's dad with his tour book!



Travis enjoyed how comfy the beds were in our hotel suite. They really were so comfortable!


On one of our few little hikes to a waterfall.

Adam has always loved trips but one of his favorite things is the hotel we stay at. haha.
Kirsten and I at Waimea falls. Unfortunately it's not safe to hike to this waterfall so we had to go to a look out point.
