Everybody Loves Bear Lake!

I went into this trip with the goal of getting pictures and I think I've done it! Everyone in my family is a fan of Bear Lake! Of course, Kami and Kami's little sister/ Mary's friend, KC, joined in on the trip!

Day 1: The trip started out with a long drive full of singing! Then Heather took over the job of entertainment by starting up some acting game. It was pretty funny!

We started the trip being obnoxious dorks and ended the trip being even more obnoxious dorks!

I think this was them trying to act out big foot.

Day 2: Nobody knows how we have such bad luck with boating. As soon as we got in the lake the lightning appeared and we got out of there in a matter of minutes. Then as soon as we got back to the condo the sun came out. We gave up on the lake and just headed for the pool! Then conveniently as soon as we got out of the pool it was time to dance in the rain again.

It looks a lot warmer than it was!

I have a quick story, Look at my yellow napkin..Little did I know some guy's number was just waiting for me in that puppy. I opened it up and found the number about 2 minutes after this picture was taken! CREEPY!!!!

Day 3: Sundays in Bear Lake cannot just be church and a nap. Nope, that would just be silly. It's more like meet cute boys in Sunday school, get yelled at by mom for not getting their numbers, flat tire, photo shoot/ Sunday walk, nap, then drive home.

When you walk out of church and see this, what's your first thought? Mine was- "LET THE PHOTO SHOOT BEGIN!"

Their first thoughts were- "Where should we sit around and wait."

We take our photo shoots very seriously!

That photo shoot just inspired us to do a real one so here is our attempt to be models. Please notice how Mary and KC get cute photos effortlessly while Kami and I struggled.

Treking through the mud

I've got the best little sister in the world!

I told you we don't know how to be normal!

But these two know what they are doing!

This was our last attempt!

Thanks parents for the fun trip!

Don't try this at home!

I made a mistake. A big mistake. See, when I'm bored, I think about random stuff. This time thinking led me to the idea of waxing my legs....ouch!!!!! Naturally, I talked Kami into joining me. I resisted shaving for 1 week, bought the stuff, and began this painful adventure. Words cannot describe what this adventure made me feel...so I'll just show pictures and let you guys get grossed out. Hopefully they convince you that waxing is not glamorous AT ALL!

First step: apply wax

Second step: Wait patiently and freak out a little bit

Third step: rip off wax and scream your guts out! OUCH

Final step: Notice that you're legs look like they have a disease and freak out even more for about 2 hours until the red bumps are gone.

4th of July!

I love the Fourth of July! It's just one more reason to get the family together. Plus you get a to watch fireworks. Plus America is freakin amazing! This year we went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game! I got the chance to bring Kami along so all in all, it was a pretty good day!

I'm obsessed with this girl!

A little red, white, blue, and some cowgirl boats is all you need!

Most of the Barton Clan!

Summer!

June has flown by! It's crazy how fast it's gone! Last week I got to spend my week playing with kids at a Camp for kids dealing with cancer and their siblings! It always is the best way to kick off summer. The week was pretty much spent swimming, doing arts and crafts, eating A LOT of sugar, and dumping water, pudding, or shaving cream on eachother. I loved being able to just go crazy and focus on making these kids have a good time. This year I went with Haley R, Alyssa, Matt, and Steph. It was fun to be able to really bond with so many cool people! I love these guys! I can't wait for camp next year! I wish I was allowed to put up pictures of the 9 and 10 year old girls that I was assigned to! They are eight of the funniest girls in the world!

Other than camp my summer has been full of roasting marshmallows, hiking, SKATING, babysitting, and just having a good old time with my amazing friends! Hopefully July will be just as exciting and hopefully I will get to spend a little more time on a lake in my boat.

One Heck of a Good Birthday!

Today was my birthday and I got beyond spoiled! My day started off with a 5:00 am wake up call, followed by a very successful skating lesson! As soon as I got to school I got dozens of hugs from my amazing friends! Right as a was walking into 1st period Kt attacked me with jewelry, sunglasses, feather scarves, and a RIDICULOUS amount of sparkles! I was covered from head to toe! So walking into 1st period late and in costume was a bit awkward but as soon as I took one little piece off someone got mad! I was stuck with that costume all day! At first I was self-concious but by the end of the day I really didn't care.

When I was walking to seminary my car was looking a little odd so we investigated and I found cute notes all over the windows! MADE MY DAY! All that reading made me late for seminary, but when I got there Kt was sure to announce my entrance! AWKWARD...right when the class had finally stopped looking at me, two girls ran into the classroom yelling "special delivery!". They had a note from the office and had been told to sing to me...yes, Hailey somehow got these girls to bring me a birthday card and a song! My next mistake was opening the card during the devotional because I soon realized that the card sings when opened...oops! Maybe that's why my seminary teacher always says I need to stay focused! He doesn't like me.

Third period was just another mess of sparkles! My random teacher couldn't stop laughing at the fact that everything around me had sparkles on it! I couldn't move without sparkling something!

Lunch was awesome! My poor car got attacked for the second time! It was kinda the talk of the school! :) Plus Kami sluffed school to come eat lunch with us! Thanks Kam!

The last 2 classes were just as fun! My teachers just laughed at my struggle to contain the sparkles!

After school I was supposed to go on a date but it turned into talking on my lawn because my friend showed up to give me a gift right when he came to pick me up. Then as soon as she left I had to got to work. So that date was a fail!...Sarah owes me ice cream now!

After work I got to go to dinner with my dad! I love spending one on one time with my parents it makes me feel so close to them! I really can tell my parents anything.

My day ended with late night homework and a yummy treat from Steph and Alyssa! These girls completed my birthday in the perfect way!

This was at lunch when I saw the final attack of my car!...The school cop was not impressed...

The masterminds behind the second attack!

Even the kisses on my car were drenched in sparkles!
