Beach Bums

I love the beach, I really think that I could sit around and sun bathe all day long. Pine view isn't the best beach around, but it's the closest and we always seen to have fun there! My brother has a boat and I get to practice my wake boarding skills.....I'm not so good yet, but practice makes perfect, right! I can't believe summer is almost over, but I am looking forward to the change, I love the fall too. One thing I love about Utah is the seasons, I love the changes, each season has it's own feeling that I love. It has been a very fun summer!

haha! I look so funny! I have to really concentrate on not falling down!

True Twilighers!

Okay, I know I am the biggest dork! But I love this book, like so many others! My sister and I got bored on Sunday and decided to take some Twilight pictures! We took a bunch, and like always, I can never pick just a couple, I posted all my favorites! I have been taking my time reading the last and final book Breaking Dawn in the Twilight saga, so far I love it. I have been savoring it, cause its the last book and when it's done....its done! Then I will have to find another book to read. At least there is only a few months till the movie comes out! Yeah!

If you look closer, we got topaz eyes! You don't have to remind me how dorky I am, I already know! I can't help it!

Look! We got cool book marks too!

BYU Church History Tour

We had so much fun on our vacation! We went on a 10 day tour and saw alot of LDS church history sites. We first went to Palmyra, New York and saw the sacred grove! That was my favorite day! We also saw the Hill Cumorah, the Palmyra Temple and Niagara falls there. Then we went to Kirtland, Ohio and saw the Kirtland Temple and the many of the saints farms, like the Morley farm and John Johnson's farm. Then we Flew to Missouri and saw Mark Twain's (Tom Sawyer) boyhood town, went to Nauvoo (I love Nauvoo). We got to go to the Nauvoo Temple, and that is now one of my most favorites! We saw Carthage Jail and Liberty Jail too. It was cool to see both temple lots in Far West and Independence. We took over 600 pictures, it was so hard to pick between them, but these ones are some of my favorites. We had planned and saved for this vacation for almost two years, and it was worth every penny.
