The Past Few Weeks...

The past few weeks have been pretty eventful. 3 weeks ago Mom, Nikki, and I went up to Bountiful to help the Jacksons clean their house and help make sure everything was ready for them to leave. Aunt Becky and Uncle Chris went into the MTC on the 21st then they left for Brazil on the 27th along with Amanda and Aimee. While everyone cleaned Amanda and I were the girls running the errands. It was so nice to just be together since it would be our last time for 10 months or so.
We washed Amanda's car
We did lots of shopping

Then Mom, Erin, and I headed off to Girls Camp...Wahoo! We went up to Camp Mia Shalom in the Wilderness Area. It was my last year of camp :(. But it was so much fun! I love the girls in our ward, they are some of my best friends!

Last week we went camping up the Alpine Loop in a campground. Tuesday night Uncle David and Jeana came up and had dinner with us then just played around. Wednesday we had to come back home for Young Women's because we had a Camp Re-cap. Thursday Nikki, Jeff, and Brandon came up and on Friday Grandma came. We packed up Saturday morning, went for a little hike and then came home and went swimming in our little blow-up pool. It felt so good! Then that night we went over the the Jacksons and had dinner. Yay for friends!

Tribute to the Jacksons

Last weekend we went up to Bountiful for two things; Saturday was Joy's baby shower and Sunday was Greg, Uncle Chris, Aunt Becky, Amanda, and Aimee's farewell. Greg went into the MTC on Wednesday, and in a few weeks he will leave for Spain where he will serve in the Spain Madrid Mission. Uncle Chris and Aunt Becky have been called as Mission Presidents in the Brazil Interlagos Mission and they will enter the MTC on Saturday. Their farewell was amazing. Greg, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Becky spoke and then Amanda and Aimee sang and played the flute. We spent the rest of the day hanging out at their house and eating food. It was so nice to just relax and talk with each other.

End of School!

School ended yesterday! Wahoo! I can finally say that I am a senior. Weird, but extremely cool! It is now time to relax, enjoy the time away from school work, and enjoy life!
Erin, Mr. Larsen, and I. Choir was so much fun this year! He says hello Nicole.
Erin, Erin, and I. :) We love Erin McGibbon! ASL was just amazing this year, and she is the best teacher ever!

Last night to celebrate the end of school all my friends and I went over to Megan's house and watched Batman Begins and just played around. Then we went to Kaal's house for a fire and just talked. It felt so good to think that we didn't have to go back to school in the morning!

This morning Casey, Michelle, and I went and babysat the cutest kids while there was a Book of Mormon class.
Casey and Michelle on the little slide thingy.
This is Finn. He and his family moved here not too long ago from Australia, he is the cutest ever!

Hiking the Y

On Monday for family night, we went and hiked the Y. Or as my friend calls it, the mountain of death! Haha. My cousins were in town to visit and my cousin's BYU ward was going, so we joined them. It was so much fun, and we made it all the way; some just went to the bottom of the Y but for the others we climbed all the way to the top.
Erin and Dad at the start of the journey.
