My Summer...

was awesome!! Fantastic!! Inspiring!! I had a wonderful summer that just didn't last long enough. Here are some of the things I got to do:

Abbey and I met Taylor Lautner!!


I went on a hike for Girls Camp with the Young Women...

I helped pass out all of these and tons more at Ironman...

...with the help of these Roman/Scottish guys:

I enjoyed the 4th of July with barbecued ribs and fireworks at our Nana and Pops Smidt's house!

My family and I went to Boise and spent every single day by water at some point. On one of the days, I learned how to double ski, then slalom ski... it was hard, but I finally got it!

And we went to the zoo and had fun being crazy! Oh, and we got to see my grandparents' neighbor's newborn calf.

I had to be with these freaks... :)

I celebrated my birthday with a party with Jeff and went to the airshow at Fairchild.

I got to babysit these awesome kids, Brookey and Austin, with Noelle.


I finally got to go to Glacier!!! I went with Linda and Dave, Shawn, Chelsey, Callie, Reese, and Laurel...


Laurel, Callie, and me:

We floated the river with Linda, Laurel, and the Fagans...


Jacqualine, me, Laurel, and Noelle:

Cam, Jacqualine, Noelle, Kayla, me, Jaynie, and Laurel:

I went to Girls Camp!! Cassidy and I got to do our "Bagle Quest" too!


Those two, Olivia and Brook, in the upper left corner are hilarious!!! All of the princesses did a fantastic job and made me cry. Fred, Earl, Sampson, and Bubba reunited and... I got a picture of some friends :)


We got to shoot rifles too!! And in the bottom right corner, that's me, Abbey, and Jessie with our tent sign "The Other White Meat."


Upper Left Corner: Buddies!, Upper Right Corner: More Buddies!!, Lower Left Corner: Even more!!, and Lower Right Corner: My running buddy during Girls Camp, Malia!

We went to the Sharp's cabin and rode their "ski doos," as Sheila calls them :)


I spent most of my summer with these two crazy cute boys!


My mom's friend, Tina, visited us and we picked her up from the airport dressed like so in the upper left picture... then, later that day, I got to go with Tina and my mom to the Highlands spa as a birthday present from Tina. It was so nice and I loved the foot massage stuff! We spent the next day at Boulder Beach and Silverwood!

We played some tennis... I know you're jealous of our looks right now, whoever you are.


I attended Princess Emmalee's royal Sweet Sixteen birthday party!


I had a fun day at Kendrick Nagel's cabin with the Cross Country team and we played an intense game of Duck, Duck, Goose!:


And my family and I got to go to Boise again for my cousin's wedding! This was her cake:

The candy bar (there was also popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, french fries, watermelon, and corn dogs):


The beautiful ceremony: Nicole was such a gorgeous bride!


My family: The cute little girl in the upper right (Olivia) was the most adorable flower girl ever! And we had a blast dancing and being the crazy people we are :)


In the upper left corner: My cousin, Trevin, holding one of the neighbor's chicks (the same neighbors with the calf), Upper Right: Me with my cousin's wife, Debbie, in my uncle's Jeep, Lower Left: Noelle with our cousin, Kylie, wearing awesome Asian hats, Lower Right: Mandy, Noelle, Kylie, and Me (Our names for the night were Emma, Roxy, Angelica, and Georgia) at a Boise Stake Dance... it was SO fun!

Our last day in Boise: (Upper right corner is Knightley, one of the cutest little boys ever, and his little brother below him, Mason who is just as cute!)


The cross country team at Gooey's (the theme was 80s prom night, but not many of the girls dressed up. the boys did though!):


Just me being crazy with team buddies!


And that's my summer up to this point!! I hope yours was just as fun!
P.S. I went on my first date too!! It was super duper fun!

For Memorial Day weekend, Cambrie and I camped with the Priebes, Jeskes, Caudles, Westovers, Gunnersons (minus Bro Gun and Alex), Smiths, and Bryant Baird (sorry if I forgot anyone; there were tons of people!). We had a blast playing soccer, tag, Mexican horseshoes, mafia, statues, and Ultimate frisbee, pushing kids on swings in the park, sitting around the campfire for half of the day, being bit by mosquitoes, eating deliciously prepared meals (couldn't miss one!), listening to Bryant fiddle, teasing friends, roasting marshmallows, enjoying bonding time, catching water skippers, taking mud baths, waking up to birds crowing like they were dying, enjoying a beautiful Sacrament meeting, sipping Fresca soda, eating Ian-caught fish, stuffing ourselves with tooth-rotting, but delicious candy, picking dandelions, and having a good time doing tons of other things. I can't wait for the next camping trip. Thank you so much for sharing your food and caring for us while we were there everyone. Thank you for the efforts you put into letting Cam and me go, Priebes! I truly had a blast, and I could tell Cambrie did too. I don't know how I will ever show my appreciation enough for all that you guys have done for us!


Mandy, Emmalee, Courtney, and I all covered ourselves in mud. It was really something!


Cam on the beached dock.


Courtney, Melissa, and Caitlyn, enjoying the cool river.


Having fun! (Caitlyn, Cambrie, Rachel, me, Courtney)


Smiling!


Mandy discovering an amazing new fact! Well, she probably isn't, but it looks like it... to me at least.


Melissa told me to look like I was being daring, so I tried.


Rachel, Cambrie, and Kimberly. Those silly girls!


Jessica chillin' in the hammock with an amazingly bright sun shining in her face.


Matt putting on bug spray.


Adam fishing with his buddy, Ian.


Kinda blurry, but fun.


Yeah, we were brave enough to rub mud all over ourselves and walk through half the campsite on the way to the bathrooms and our campground.


Courtney being Courtney. You can't help but love that girl. :)


A sunset on the beautiful Priest River.


Melissa with a bright, burning fire behind her. And her two plates.

Rachel and me swinging on the hammock.


Aaron and Livi. So cute!


Cam and Rachel eating Rice Krispies and smiling for the camera.


A tiring trip back home.
