Gotta love Brianna!

Disneyland Update

2011-08-05T13:40:00.001-07:00

It's now Friday and we are leaving for the happiest place on earth on Monday!! For those of you that aren't good at math, that's only 3 more days!! Ahhhhhh! It's extremely exciting and I can barely hold in my enthusiasm! I even convinced my mom to buy us girls matching Mickey Mouse t-shirts! They are quite adorable if I must say so myself. I also tried with no avail to get my dad and Bryce matching shirts, but I was assured that they would not be worn anyway, so what's the point? It's kind of pathetic how much I am looking forward to this trip, but considering the fact that I haven't been to Disneyland since I was a wee little 4 year old, I think it's ok. Some day I will take my own children to Disneyland and I will probably be just as excited then as I am now.

While in Disneyland, I plan to ride every ride I can find, despite the long lines to enter them. I am also determined to get an autograph from any and all famous characters I lay my eyes on. I want to find a cool souvenir that everyone will be jealous of when I get home and flaunt it. I will take pictures, take pictures, and take more pictures! My hopes are also high for some good food.

Amid all of my joy I also have a few worries. A very long car ride could unfortunetely result in a very sick me. I have been known for getting car sick, but hopefully I can sleep alot and keep myself occupied while I am awake so that isn't an option. Another one of my lovely qualitites is my uncanny ability to fry every time I spend time outside. It is almost guaranteed that I will get sunburnt, I only wish that it won't be too bad and that my many layers of sunscreen will prove useful.

I am also looking forward to seeing my amazing, fabulous, wonderful aunts Barbie and Shelly when we stay at their house the last two days of our trip. Because they live in California it isn't very often that we get to spent time with them, so that will most definitely be the icing on a very delicious cake for me.

Overall, it is going to be a vacation to remember and the last thing I have to say is...

DISNEYLAND HERE I COME!

Leo

2011-07-25T20:18:00.000-07:00

Pretty sure I have the cutest cat in the world! Just sayin'...

I think he may have been a model before we found him, because he is very photogenic!

Foam Day!

2011-07-24T17:58:00.000-07:00

We went to Lehi's annual Foam Day on Saturday, and we had a blast! Our two cousins Kymbr and Kalli came with us and I met up with a bunch of my friends. If you don't know what Foam Day is, the Lehi Fire Department comes and sprays foam out of their hoses for everyone to play in! They also have blow up bounce houses, music, booths, and, of course, food! This is the 3rd year they have done it, and it is a big hit! We got really dirty and I got sunburnt pretty bad, but it was worth it!

My friends and I were hanging out around the camera guy being crazy hoping to make the newspaper, and we succeeded! This is the picture that was in the Daily Herald with the article about Foam Day!

It's mainly of my friend Kezlyn, but I'm to her right and my friend Ashley is the girl turned around next to me! We don't know who the boy is....

So, overall we had a really great time and if you've never been to Foam Day you should definitely plan to go next year!

Today's Events

2011-07-18T21:54:00.000-07:00

Today was a bit of a crazy day! I woke up at 8:00, which is very unusual for me considering how I can sleep until noon, and I went to the first day of my basketball camp at Lehi High. After 2 1/2 hours of various drills and exercises I think it is safe to say that I am out of shape! My legs are sore already and I still have 4 days left, but I am enjoying playing basketball again.

After my camp, I hustled home and jumped in the car with my dad and we went over to Thanksgiving Point to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It was my second time seeing it because I went to the midnight showing the day it came out, but it was even better the second time! Probably because I was sitting in a better seat today!

When we got home, I quickly showered and we left for the zoo!! I love the zoo, but it's especially fun when the animals are active and put on a show for us! Today was definitely a nice day, and the animals were loving it! The monkeys were all hilarious, and the tigers were swimming in their pool right next to the glass! We saw lots of cool things including a very angry gorilla that actually hit the glass with his fist when my dad and Bryce walked by!

Following our lovely trip to the zoo, we went down the rode to Red Robin for dinner, and it was, of course, DELICIOUS! Then to top it all off I went shopping with my mom for a few hours!

Overall, it was a GREAT day today and I had so much fun with my family! More excitement is to come tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Dad!

2011-07-17T13:18:00.000-07:00

Today is my dad's birthday, so here's a big shout out for him! You do so much for me and I never thank you enough, so I hope you have a very special day today! I could never ask for a better dad! I love you most! Happy Birthday!

Finally blogging again!

2011-07-16T13:33:00.000-07:00

Well, I think it's safe to say that it has been FOREVER since I've blogged! Almost a whole year! A lot happens in a year, and I'm not even going to try to catch up on everything. I will, however, mention a few things. I finished 9th grade with all "A"s except for one "A-" in the third term! So, in about one month, I will be attending Lehi High School and I hope to make the girls basketball team there. Something that I am looking forward to- my family is going to DISNEYLAND in August! I still have the best friends in the world, and we love to spend time together watching movies and laughing a lot! We have a new cat in our family, also. His name is Leo and we love him so much! He loves to chase his tail, chirp at birds, play with hair bands, and of course, sleep! Overall, I'm doing great and just loving life! I'm going to try to do better at blogging from now on, but I guess we'll just have to see how that goes!

Wallets by Brianna!

2010-08-11T21:15:00.000-07:00

I got a little instruction booklet on how to make the cutest wallets a while ago, and so far I've made 5! They're really cute, and I think they're just the right size! They have six card slots, two bigger pockets, and a zipper pocket, too! I'm thinking about maybe selling them, so I thought I'd put some pictures of the ones that I've made!

This is the one that I made for myself!

I made this one for Sydney!

This was for my Aunt Barbie! We were going out to California for a family reunion with her, and I wanted to surprise her! She loved it!

This one was for my Aunt Shelly! She also lives in California, and her favorite color is purple!

This one was for my Aunt Heather! She loves skulls and pink, and she loves this!

I'm almost done with the one for my friend Ashley, then my Aunt Tara wants one... and so on! They're lots of fun to make, and it's given me something to do to keep busy!

Bucketlist!

2010-07-08T14:22:00.000-07:00

So I'm doing this bucketlist with my two amazing friends, Ashley and Celeste. How it works is that we all are going to do these things and as we do them, we have to take pictures. Then we post the pictures along with our success on our blog! Since Celeste just moved to freakin' WASHINGTON, our blogs are one of the few ways to keep in touch! I'm way excited to get started! Here's the bucketlist:

1.Make a bracelet out of grass
2.Go swimming at 10:00 at night
3.Get bread and feed the birds
4.Pick your favorite celebrity and celebrate their birthday... cake and all!
5.Write a song
6.Sleep outside without a tent
7.Keep a goldfish for more than a week
8.Walk in a parade
9.Fill your driveway with chalk pictures
10.Plant a garden
11.Climb a tree
12.Write a book
13.Make up a new recipe
14.Milk a cow
15.Leave your hand or footprint in wet cement

I've already done some of them, but I'm going to do them again! This will be fun!

Yearbook Camp!

2010-07-02T19:03:00.000-07:00

Holy Camoly yearbook camp was so much fun! Since I'm a main editor next year, I got to go to yearbook camp with two other girls and the yearbook advisor. It's where we go to have tons and tons of fun, and we also do lots of work to plan the yearbook for next year! It's up at Snowbird which is a way nice place! I had never been there before so it was super exciting! While we were there, we went on a tram! I must admit, at first I was really nervous, and pretty scared! But it was tons of fun, and I'm really glad that I did it! They also had a night where we went swimming, and there was an adwards ceremony at the end! The two other girls, Kenadee and Alexa, and I had our own hotel room. We stayed at the Cliff Lodge, and in the shower there was a huge window into the bedroom! There was a curtain, but we still thought it was hilarious! There's a picture of it below. Anyway, we had an amazing time overall, and the food was even good! We got a lot done for the book next year and I can't wait for school to start so we can get started! Here are some pictures...

The window in the shower!

Schools Out!

2010-07-02T18:29:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I've posted, but first off, I can't believe schools out! 8th grade flew by, and next year I'll be a FRESHMAN! Can you believe it? I'm super excited! I'm going to miss all my friends a ton next year! With lots of kids going out to Westlake, I'm losing lots of people that I know! Anyway, the summer's almost already over, and so much has happened! I just wanted to put a few pictures on from the last days of school!
Friends from pe!

French buddies!

Yearbook crew!

My BFFs!

Track meet pics

2010-04-27T19:58:00.000-07:00

Track has gone by so fast! It's almost over! Since I got my new camera, I was able to take it with me to our last track meet! Here are a few pictures of us having a great time while we weren't racing...

It was pretty sunny out, so by the end of the meet we were all really sunburned. Alpine Days are tomorrow and Thursday. It's like a track tournament with all the schools in alpine district. It's pretty huge, so wish us luck!

Sleepover at Ashley's!

2010-04-09T14:27:00.000-07:00

We had a sleepover at Ashley's house on Wednesday night. We played a fun game that tested how well we know each other, and we ate a ton of chocolate! Ashley has a movie called "The 10th Kingdom" that we watched. It's close to 7 hours long with 3 discs! We started it at about 9:00 and by the time it ended it was around 4:00 in the morning. Celeste was the only one who stayed awake through the whole thing because she's just crazy, but I borrowed it and watched what I didn't see at my house. It is a wierd movie!
It has everything from trolls, dwarfs, and a half wolf man, Cinderella and Snow White, and an evil witch with magic mirrors, to Kissing town and all the popular fairytales like Jack and the Beanstock. But overall, I liked it! In the morning Ashley and her mom and a few of her sisters made breakfast for us. We had blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice. It was lots of fun and hopefully we can do something like it again before Celeste moves to Washington! :(

Natalie having her turn during the game.

Celeste and me wrapped up in our blankets! I'm going to miss her so much!

So cute! Don't you love my Christmas blanket?!

New Craft!

2010-03-20T13:42:00.000-07:00

I pulled out an old spool knitting kit that my grandma gave me a long time ago, and I started playing around. There were instructions to make a butterfly, but I wanted to make a flower. This was the first one that I made.

But it was a little big. And it still kind of looked like a butterfly to me. So I started again, this time making it smaller and adding a little extra so there would be 5 petals. Then I just made a really long black piece, and attached the flower to make one very cute headband!

I made Sydney a yellow and pink one for her birthday. I also made a purple flower, and then just put a bobby-pin on it. They're super easy, and I love them!

Sunflower Cupcakes!

2010-02-13T15:59:00.000-08:00

We made these super cute cupcakes at young womens! They're totally easy, and if you're looking for something to do, you should try them! All you need is some Oreos, yellow and green frosting, and a cupcake! You can make them however you want!

Basketball team pictures!

2010-02-11T15:10:00.000-08:00

Basketball season is over, and I'm so sad!!! All those girls are my best friends, and I'm going to miss playing with them! A few of us will be at the school again next year, but all of our 9th graders are of course going to high school, plus, a lot of the 8th graders are going out to Westlake! But it was a great experience, and I had the time of my life! My coaches were amazing, and even when they were mad, they were still hilarious and really nice! Here are some fun pictures that we took together....Here are our post players... (the mean ones!) We've had so many stories come from these guys! Annika (#10) bit Megan (#32) during one of our games on accident. Megan was given a black eye once, and poor Micala (#21) pulled a bunch of things in her knee and was out for most of the games at the end of the season. She goes in for surgery on the 18th, then still can't play or dance (she's in dance company) for 6 months! These are our guards. 2 main point guards, and some of our post players play guard too. Here are our AMAZING managers! Brittini and Karen! They are so cute, and we really, really, appreciate them! We have such a wierd mascot. :)Getting pumped up before a game.

This is Ms. Flake, our assistant coach, with Sam and I. Ms. Flake is the best!We had a great season, taking 2nd place in our Payson tournament, and 7th in our last tournament! It was tons of fun! GO WOLVERINES!

Fun new hairstyles!

2009-12-24T10:00:00.000-08:00

Olga and I had a sleepover a while ago and she had a new hairstyle that she wanted to try in my hair. She watched a video of how to do it on You Tube, and thought it was really cute. The next morning she came with us to my cousin's baptism, and she did my hair for me. It turned out really cute!

Here's the back of it. It was kind of like two big twisty things. :) There was one on each side, then they came together into a cute messy-bun!

When we got home I did her hair too. I did two french braids on top, then one up the back. It was the first time I had done it, but it looked super cute!

Yum! Yum!

2009-12-03T17:29:00.000-08:00

I really wanted some ice cream the other day, and my mom had just gone to the store and bought some bananas and strawberries. So, I decided to make one very yummy BaNAnA sPliT! One banana on the bottom, (broken in half) two scoops of vanilla ice cream, lots of cut up strawberries, some chocolate syrup and also carmel syrup, then top it off with a scoop of cool whip! I know your jealous....

It was pretty good too...

Braces are NO MORE!

2009-11-28T21:32:00.000-08:00

WHoo Hoo!! I got my braces off last Monday and I am L.O.V.I.N.G. my beautiful pearly whites! he he he! Seriously, they look so good! I didn't tell any of my friends, so after basketball practice my mom picked me up to take me to my 8:00 appointment. When I got there I was so excited! The secretary lady said that it wouldn't hurt and it would go by really fast. Well........ it did hurt when he actually pulled the braces off, but after that it wasn't that bad. For those of you that have never had braces, when they take them off, your teeth are still caked with that gross glue. So they have to use this drill thing on all your teeth to get the glue off. Talk about one wierd feeling!

When I got to school and saw my friends they were totally shocked! It took them a minute to figure out why I was smiling non-stop like a complete moron..... but they finally noticed! I couldn't stop smiling all day long, and my teeth felt really slimy! Then I had to get my retainer on Wednesday. It's polka-dotted but still super annoying! My orthodontist says that I can only take it out when I'm brushing my teeth, so I have to eat with it in too! I'm beginning to get more used to it, but I still hate it! :)

I would have lots of pictures but I'm still camera-less! I don't know if I've mentioned it on here or not, but my camera broke and we had to take it back. We still haven't got a new one because whenever I find one that I like, the store doesn't have any in stock. It's very frustrating but hopefully I can get one soon because I'm really missing having one. Sydney has a few pictures on her camera so I just have to get her to email them to me, then I'll post them!

Free iPod shuffle!!

2009-11-14T18:07:00.000-08:00

Well, because of my amazing 4.0 for first term, I got to go to Honor Roll on Friday, and miss 4th period!! I have algebra that period, so I was a little nervous that I would miss something important. (which I probably did, but oh well) Anyway, I am so glad that I went! I ended up winning a new iPod shuffle! The student counsil did a raffle with four iPods, some iTunes gift cards, and lots of chocolate. It was the very last drawing that they were doing, and while everyone was doing a drumroll, I said, "BRIANNA BEAN!" and then right after that, the girl said, "BRIANNA BEAN!!" My friends and I were screaming so loud! It was so awesome! The iPod is so cool, and Jennifer is already after my mp3. This is what it looks like.... It may only be a 2GB, but my mp3 was only 1GB so I'm upgrading! And it was FOR FREE!

Totally and completely hilarious!

2009-10-29T15:55:00.000-07:00

You'll never guess what happened at lunch today!.... To start off, by the end of lunch Olga and I both had chocolate milk all over us!

So it all started when Olga was taking a drink.... I all of a sudden got an urge to mess with her. I tapped her milk from the bottom (clearly not thinking!) and it spilt on her face and pants! She then got a wacky idea, and I think she obviously wasn't thinking either, because then she gave me a very wild look like, "you did NOT just do that!" and she dumped the rest of her carton all down the front of me! I was drenched in chocolate milk, and my white shirt was definitely stained! It was hilarious, and Olga and I both could not stop laughing! Even now while I type this I am cracking up! Everyone around us couldn't believe they had just witnessed that, and Olga and I weren't even close to mad at each other! The way I look at it..... I started it, and she had a right to get me back! (and oh, boy, did she do that!)

Anyway, I called my mom and she brought me a new shirt. What great memories!! I just wish someone would have pulled out a camara and taken a picture.....

Homemade bread at a sleepover!

2009-10-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

Olga and I had a sleepover last week, and it was tons of fun! We went to Walmart first and while we were there, we decided that we wanted to make some homemade bread! So with some help from some employees, we found the yeast, and went home to get started. She had this really good recipe that she made at young womens once, so we made that. It's called "Amish white bread." Here are some pictures...

STEP 1: Mix yeast and warm water

STEP 2: Add flour and work the dough until soft (something like that)

Olga's beautiful heart shaped dough-

He He... i put flower all over her face... He He!

Ok, so even though we weren't making pizza, we wanted to try throwing the dough in the air like you do when you make pizza. It was hard, but way fun!

STEP 3: When dough is ready, shape into two loafs, and place in pans to rise.

STEP 4: Cook in the oven for 30 mins.

The one on the right is mine.... Olga's is way more professional!

This is Olga's- so beautiful. This is the one that I brought home for my family. Olga and I ate most of the loaf that I made.

STEP 5: Eat it up! Good with jam or toasted with butter.

Seriously, it was so good!! And it was even better because it was still hot from taking it out of the oven!

Well, after our bread-making Olga did my nails for me. They looked so awesome!! She did every nail a different color, and then she put zebra stripes on them. I don't know if you can see them very well from this picture...

She also wanted to try to make my hair go curly. So she wet me down, (seriously! She was getting everything wet with the spray bottle!!) then she put a bunch of moose in my hair. To keep it in over night, she french braided my hair and sprayed it all with hairspray.

Then in the morning we took out the braids, and it kind of worked! Not as good as it does when she does it to her hair... but I have a lot more hair then she does...

She came to my volleyball game that morning, and she was my good luck! We were playing a pretty hard team, but we won! It was lots of fun!

My hilarious conversation with Olga!

2009-09-21T21:03:00.000-07:00

Today Olga and I were definetly on one.......

I asked her, "Olga, why does plucking your eyebrows make you sneeze?" (I know I'm wierd, but it's true!)
She answered me with, "Because it's sensational and it tickles!

I tell you, that's one of the funniest things that I've heard in a long time! I don't know where she comes up with all this stuff, but I love it!!! You're awesome Olga!!

Welcome back dance!

2009-09-12T13:11:00.000-07:00

Everyone always loves the school dances! Friday was the "welcome back" dance, and of course we had an awesome time! I tell you, those things would be so boring if I didn't have any friends to dance and be crazy with! Ashley is hilarious and she definetly makes everything more exciting! I think that we were kind of scaring some of the 7th graders..... A few times we would see someone just sitting or standing around so we would go up to them and ask them if they wanted to come and dance with us.... It was funny because they would give us this wierd look like, "why are you talking to me- I don't know you- get away!" But at least we tried, right?

This picture is so cute!

Ok, I am extremely hesitant to put this picture on here!....... But I just think that it's hilarious! Ashley and I were running and then jumping and hitting our hips together....... you know what I'm talking about... and Natalie had my camera ready to take the picture. ha ha ha ha! Look at my face!

Singing along is of course always fun! They played "Thriller" at one point and we all lined up and did part of the Thriller dance! It was hilarious and boy did we get some wierd looks! I should of had someone take a picture because it was awesome!

This is Sydney and her friend Senja. It's fun to have Sydney coming to the dances now too!

These are just a few more group pictures that I had our friend Nikki take.

We're standing in "our corner!" It's where we're always at........ I don't know why, but we just like that spot!

Happy Birthday Ashley!!

2009-09-11T16:26:00.000-07:00

The 9th was Ashley's birthday, and we did all kinds of fun things! We were all going to go see a movie together, but there really wasn't anything good out, so we ended up just having a little movie night over at Ashley's house, and it was lots of fun! I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few....

Me, Olga, Celeste, Natalie, and Ashley! It's harder than you think to fit everyone in one picture by just sticking your arm out!

Me and Olga--- best buds!

This picture was just too funny to not put on here....... ha ha ha ha ha!

We also did some fun things at school for her on Wednesday. I brought this crown and we made her wear it all day long! I also decorated her locker for her before school with some cute little letters and my hand drawn balloons! We had Natalie open it for us, so that we could put her little presents in there along with her huge card that Celeste made!

Such a princess! And I must add, the Batman shirt adds to the fantasy quite a bit....

Olga is modeling the amazing card that Celeste made. We all signed it on the inside, and it was so cute!

This is the front of her locker.

Here's the inside... We were all waiting for her when she came up the stairs, (I know, not suspicious at all...) and she loved it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!

School has officially started!

2009-08-20T16:20:00.000-07:00

Today was 8th and 9th grade day and it was so cool to see all of my friends again! It was kind of a long day other wise because we have to go to all eight of our classes and you do the same exact thing in every class! You go over the emergency procedures, you walk out to where you would go in case of a fire, you go over the rules in the planner, and then you talk about the grading policy for that class.... and so on! Super boring!!! But it's important so you just have to deal with it!

I'm really excited for the classes that I'm taking and some of my teachers are so funny! My yearbook teacher of course is amazing! (you'll never be bored in her class) My science teacher seems pretty nice and he has a good sense of humor.... my english teacher is really funny! She's totally into fashion and our classroom is decorated like some fancy house! With a big mirror, gold drapes, a little fountain, lots of plants and wall hangings...... I'm sure you can imagine! It doesn't even look like a classroom! Then there's my algebra teacher........................ that class will be very entertaining! She's not the most positive person in the world, but she's pretty funny! We had some people absent and she said, "Their friends must have warned them and they already transferred out of my class." And we were talking about who leaves first in a fire drill and this is what she said, "Of course the students go first because no one cares about the teachers!"

Anyway, I'm also taking French 1 and Ashley and Amber are both in my class! And I'm being a peer leader. That's where you help out in the office and do service projects.... It should be lots of fun! Here are some pictures from today-

Celeste, Ashley, me, and Sadie! Brittany's in the back not knowing about the picture...

Lunch is always a fun time! That's Natalie in the middle telling a story with lots of facial expressions! :)

Olga, me, and Amber!

Celeste and Tiffany! I'm so sad because Celeste is moving to Washington around December!!

Tomorrow is when it's all the grades together at school! It's going to be sooooooo crazy!

Yearbook staff and 7th grade day!

2009-08-20T15:43:00.000-07:00

Am I the only one that can't believe summer is already over!?!?! That's nuts! Well anyway, there's nothing that I can do about it, and I've had fun so far! Amber and I had to go on seventh grade day because we're on the yearbook staff this year, (WAY EXCITED!) and there was a huge training meeting that day! I have to say, "Holy cow there are so many seventh graders this year!!!" That's why some of the ninth graders had to go to westlake..... I feel kind of bad for them becuase they're all so lost and nervous being at a new school, and then it definetly does not help having all the eighth and ninth graders making fun of them!

Amber's mom came out and took our picture before we got on the bus....... Finally we're all three in the same school again! But unfortunetly not for very long becuase next year Amber goes to HIGH SCHOOL!!

It seems like whenever I try to take a picture of all three of us I always cut Amber's face in half! I'm really sorry Amber!

Anyway, I am way excited to be on the yearbook staff!!! The yearbook is going to be awesome this year and I'm so excited to help make it! I'm in charge of the school dances page, the faculty fun pages, (wierd funny pictures of the faculty) and also the foreign language pages! And then of course we all help take lots of pictures for the various pages and the cover and back of the book too....... Some things that we did all day- We learned some picture taking tips, we talked about the book, (obviously) we checked out the yearbook room, we assigned pages, we played games to get to know each other, and we practised taking pictures! Here are a few of them....

Practicing shooting from a "birds eye view." I LOVE this picture! I think that it's way cute!

One of the things that we talked about was using the surroundings as "leading lines" to your subject. In the picture above I was trying to use the bleachers, and in the picture below I was using the track and the bricks on the wall.... They're definetly not professional, but I think they're kind of cool...

Cassie and Elora, some other awesome girls that are on the staff!

The girl in the light blue shirt that's talking is hilarious! She was telling us stories from yearbook camp (only the main editors get to go to that) and we were laughing so hard!

I also LOVE this picture! It's so cute!!! I'm way glad that Amber's on the staff with me, we're going to have so much fun!!

Sydney and I

2009-08-11T18:14:00.000-07:00

Sydney and I have been hanging out together (as usual) for the past few days and we've had lots of fun! Of course taking lots of pictures and laughing! We had a sleepover last night and watched movies on her bed. I had a ton of pictures of us together so I put them in kind of a comic strip and it's really cute.......

We put headbands around our heads and we looked like hippies, but really wierd. I don't know why I turned this picture black and white, but oh well!

Don't ask...

Sydney's dog Jasmine was hanging out with us. We were eating popcorn and she kept jumping on Sydney trying to get some even after we gave her one of her treats! She's so cute!

Sydney can be a little wierd sometimes..... just kidding! I love her!

Sleepover with Olga!

2009-08-09T20:46:00.000-07:00

I had a sleepover with Olga last Tuesday and it was lots of fun! We spent lots of time just sitting in her room talking and laughing about the summer and all kinds of other things, then we watched "Just like Heaven" before we went to bed. In the morning we watched "Bride Wars" with her nieces and little sister and then she made us pancakes for breakfast. Her little sister had this rainbow blanket, so we wrapped it around our legs and pretended that we were mermaids! It was hilarious and her little nieces were getting a kick out of it! After that Olga curled my hair for me, and since I have so much hair it ended up taking around 2 hours! But she did a really good job and I absolutely loved it!

Those are Olga's two nieces at the top right. Sofia is the oldest and Sky is the little one. They are so cute and Olga is such a good aunt! They really wanted to come into Olga's room, and when Olga would say "no," Sky would get really mad and say, "Olga I'm not going to let you come in my room!" Then she would slam the door and walk away. About three minutes later she would come back and say, "Olga, I'm not going to give you any of my baby food!" And then slam the door and walk away...... She did that a few times and it was so funny! Olga and I were trying not to laugh, but it was just hilarious!

Olga curling my hair! I do curl my hair sometimes, but I never do ALL of my hair, becuase it would take way too long! I just do the top layer, but Olga wanted to do all of it, and even though it did take a while, it looked so cute when it was finished!

Blog makeover!

2009-08-09T20:23:00.000-07:00

I was getting sick of how my blog looked before, and then I saw Senja's blog and it inspired me! :) So, as you can see, I gave my blog a makeover! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

The clowns are in town!

2009-08-04T10:18:00.000-07:00

I had this really funny picture of me and Syd, then I went on picnik.com (where I make all of my collages) and I doodled all over us!

BEFORE:

The little worm guys are getting beat up by the tombots at the bottom! I haven't decided what my clown name is yet, so if you have any ideas.............. :)

AFTER:

Kadee's birthday party!

2009-08-03T16:47:00.000-07:00

I went to Kadee's birthday party last week and it was lots of fun! We had a BBQ, then we played lots of games and roasted marshmellows over the fire! This is everyone that was there... Kadee is the one sitting next to me on the ground.

My friend Ashley was there too so we hung out most of the time. She had p.e. with Kadee and I last year.

Ashley is so awesome!

Kadee opening her presents... she's wearing the scarf that I gave her.

She got so many cute bags! My favorite was the one on the left, and the one on the right was really cool becuase it folds into a little pouch thing. (Sorry you can't see them that well.)

I think she liked the scarf...

Happy birthday Kadee!

SHOPPING!

2009-07-28T07:04:00.000-07:00

During school Olga and I would talk about how during the summer we should save up our money so that we could go to the mall together before school starts. We didn't go to the mall (mostly just because things are more expensive there) but we did go shopping together and we had a BLAST! First we went to Ross, then we walked over to Rue 21. When we were at Ross we would grab anything that looked cute, then have a little fashion show in the dressing room. I feel bad for the girl that had to put away all those clothes when we were done with them!

Always love crazy shoes!

You can't notice from the picture, but that shirt was actually HUGE on me! I'm holding it tight from the back...

I really liked this shirt, except part of the back was open.

Olga couldn't decide if she should get this shirt or not... (she decided not to) And I made her try on these really small skinny jeans, and she couldn't even get them past her thigh. It was really funny!

We tried on lots of really wierd jackets.... The only thing that I didn't like about the orange one is the huge collar. I felt like I had wings or something.

These were the only pants that I could find that weren't skinny jeans! I thought for sure they would be too small, but they ended up fitting perfectly! When I was trying them on these two ladies looked out of the dressing rooms and were saying things like, "Those are so cute on you! You should definetly get them!" I did end up buying them but it was just funny because I didn't even know them!

These are the shirts that we ended up buying... But the next day I was looking at the striped shirt, and there was a hole in it! I was so sad! I went back to look for another one but there wasn't anymore orange ones, and the ones that were different colors weren't my size anyway. So I ended up returning it and buying this purple jacket instead...

These are the things that I got when we went to Rue 21. Olga actually bought that scarf for me for my birthday. (which was a long time ago but she felt that she needed to give me something.)

Then I made these scrapbook pages with Sydney. They were actually supposed to say "adorable" at the bottom, but I changed it so that I can put these pictures on them!

SLeEpOvER!

2009-07-15T10:15:00.000-07:00

Sydney and I had a SLEEPOVER on Monday night! We had so much fun! We watched "While You Were Sleeping" and "27 Dresses." Sydney got out all of her ducktape so I could help her make a ducktape wallet. I already have one, so I decided to make something else. I printed off a picture of a super hero mask, and traced it onto some ducktape that I had put together. Sydney was very jealous that I got to be a super hero and she didn't!

Sydney is such a tan monster! I'm so jealous!

Yes, that is my mouth next to her face... we were laughing so hard over this picture!

Sydney making her ducktape wallet. I gave her the idea of doing a bumblebee wallet, and it turned out looking really cute! She still has to do a yellow pocket on the other side of it.

Super Brianna! My mask turned out AWESOME!

My wierd best friend!

The luau!

2009-07-13T09:07:00.000-07:00

We went to a luau for the Westlake football teams fundraiser. Since Bryce is on the team is so is Sydney's brother Mitchel, we both went. Sydney just bought these two really cute dresses, and the one that I'm wearing didn't fit her, so she gave it to me! (thanks syd!)

Sydney crimped Jennifer's hair, and it looked super cute!

Two of Sydney's other friends came with her, and Senja was hilarious! (She's the one next to me with the braids.)

They had a really cool show with some Hula-dancers, but the music was WAY too loud! We stayed for the whole thing, and by the end we all had huge headaches!

The Owlz game!

2009-07-08T21:17:00.000-07:00

I went to the Owlz baseball game yesterday with Sydney, her friend Kassidy, and Sydney's dad. Jennifer went with one of her friends, so I saw her there. We had lots of fun!

So exciting!

2009-07-08T20:47:00.000-07:00

Yay! I got my own blog! This way, I can blog about all of the fun things that I do with my friends, and I promise that I'll still post things on the family blog too! ENJOY!
