More Boating

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry about being such a slacker on keeping this blog updated! I've just been so busy with family in town and with tons of babysitting. Anyways, we've been boating some more so here's more pictures over a course of 3 trips to the lake.
Adam and Kirsten wakeboarding together.
This is the running joke in my family, everytime I think or know I'm going down on the wakeboard I plug my nose. My dad usually says to not plug my nose and I'll stay up longer.
This is just a random picture of me getting on the board, I just like this picture. haha.


Kirsten is just about to catch some air off the wake.
Adam always looks so cute on the wakeboard.


Dad the awesome waterskier.
Kirsten catching some air.
I thought this picture was really cool.

Premier of Harry Potter





Last night some friends and I went to see the premier of Harry Potter at 12 am! We waited in line for 1 1/2 hrs. but it was worth it. We also got Golden Spoon while the boys waited in line. yeah! The movie was a long 2 hrs and 18 min. but I did stay awake through the whole thing even though it was so late at night. And since I hadn't read the book I was so nervous at the end of the movie I didn't now what was going to happen I was freaking out in my seat. It was actually kind of funny but the movie was awesome I highly recommend people to go see it.

So we finally went out on our boat for the first time this summer! We've just been so busy that we haven't been able to go out. It was a really hot day, it started at 76 degrees and up to 110 degrees when we got off the lake, despite the heat we had fun. Heres some cool pictures of the day. My dad is a really good waterskiier. I grew up with a boat as a kid and has continued to ski ever since. He loves it so much and is always "feelin' his oats" when he's out on the water. He sure shows us up!
Kirsten is happy as can be!
My mom loves to swim with us kids. Plus the water was really refreshing since it was so hot. It really cooled us down.
Travis is the major wakeboarder in our family as you can see. He likes to catch some air and show off his moves.

Check this out! Kirsten and Travis can get up and wakeboard at the same time! I got some cool footage of it and will try to put some of it online tom.
I told Kirsten to wave to te camera, she's really good too!



Dad beautifully makes those sharp turns.


And then there's me who can't do a single trick! I can hardly get outside the wake. Although I can board "goofy" or "regular" Notice: In this picture I'm riding "regular" I have my left foot in the front.
Dad loves to drive his toy. He seriously loves his boat so much and he should since it's his and he worked hard to get it.




Adam and his sweet new "do" after he wakeboarded.
Notice: her I'm riding "goofy" I've got my right foot in front this time.



Travis, recieving instruction on how to barefoot off our barefoot boom.
At the end of the day my dad let me drive the boat! It was seriously so fun! I got to go super fast...well maybe...I was a little nervous since I can keep only one hand on the wheel and the other on the gas stick thing...whatever it's called.

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.
