Today's Events

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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...

Schools Out!

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!
