Spring Break

Okay, these are all the things we did during spring break. Good luck getting through all of the pictures.

This is when we went skiing during break at Lookout. Noelle and I went with my dad. We listened to Britney Spears while speeding down the freeway and had a great time going down some hills that we had never tried out before.

Just about ready to go.

Zoom, zoom. This is on Quicksilver Lane, or something like that.

We have to take this one every time.

Just another one of my many, many pictures.

Noelle and her faces.

Before Bonanza.

For the first 5/7 of Spring Break, we went to Boise and Melba, Idaho. Here are some shots. Well, a lot of shots.

David and our other cousin his age, Lily, always fought over Nana when she started dancing with one or the other. They loved it.

The day before April Fool's, we ate fried turkey, so for April Fool's Day, my grandma sent out e-mails to all of my aunts and uncles, telling them that my mom got 400 degree burns from the oil in the frier. To make it more real, my grandma also told everyone that my dad had drilled into the main water pipe at their busines, a retirement home, and that my great grandma was in the hospital, both of those being true. So, my mom had to play along.

We went to my great grandma's house to help her out by cleaning up outside, trimming her giant pine tree, and replanting her beautiful fake flowers. This time, we made sure they looked pretty real. Afterwards, we climbed the butte about two acres behind her house with my grandparents. I had a wonderful time.All my siblings and me with my great grandma, Grandma Ball. She isn't doing too well and might be passing away soon, so Noelle and I got to ask her some questions about her childhood and stuff like that. It was a great experience.

Alrighty then, next picture. Don't look...please.

Steven and my dad taking some tree branches to the burning pile.

This is one of the many very old sheds in my great grandma's yard.

Um, yeah, see that huge hill thing called a butte behind the shed? We got to climb up that bad boy.

The edge that Noelle is on is about one foot wide. One slip of the foot, and one of us would have been...well, either dead right after landing fifty feet below, or a miracle could happen and we could jump right back on our feet and keep climbing. That probably wouldn't happen though.

The view was breathtaking, and we will somehow hopefully get my mom in this one, don't worry, 'cause I know you were.

I was supposed to look like I was all mighty and majestic, looking down upon the other side of Melba, Idaho while I'm on the top of the world, ruling the earth, but instead, it just looks like I'm catching breath and looking away from the camera while wearing my beautiful, roasting hot, filthy sweats. Phew, what a breath taker!

Nana, Pops, my sisters, and me at the top of the butte.

This is a National Treasure 2 moment. You can't tell, but my hand is in a hole and "something's" got ahold of it.

Yeah, it was pretty steep. I almost fell, and my 67-year-old grandma climbed down this thing with an arm she couldn't move (she tore her rotator cuff). Oh, and my 70-year-old grandpa climbed right down like it was no big deal. They're pretty much studs.

Steven surfing down "Devil's Slide."

My First Drive

I got my permit last night!!! (March 23) I got to drive home from my class with my dad in the front and my mom in the back. She isn't quite used to this whole thing yet. :) After that, I got to drive Noelle, my dad, and Noelle's dog, Beanz, to a gas station and we bought slurpees. Here are some pictures:

My dad told me to do that.

Noelle and Me as Young Kiddos

Some Pictures WARNING: There are a lot

Here are some older pictures. Actually, here are tons of older pictures.

Steven before church.

Steven, Cambrie, Noelle, and me dressed up to go May Day ding-dong ditching. We decided to dress up for the occasion to make it more fun.

Noelle and me in a white limo in Seattle. Cambrie, Steven, and my mom also were there along with my mom's friend, Tina.

My cousins Kelsey, Mandy, and Jeffrey. He's pretty funny.

Almost everyone with Elder Richard G. Scott.

HSM 2 premiere night.

My aunt Jill, Nana, and me. We were together as a team for Emmett's Most Excellent Triathlon.

Steven, my lil cuz Tyler, and his cousin...her name slipped my mind. I helped them find a frog on the beach.

My cousin Kaylee and me.

My siblings-David with me after I got back from D.C.

On my way onto the plane, all by myself to D.C. That was the summer of our Mexico vacation.

Breakfast in bed!!!! That was the nice, long summer that we had a couple years ago.

Noelle, my cousin, Connor, Steven, Cambrie, and my other cousin, Janessa at Yellowstone.

My siblings and me in front of a nice creek. It the coldest water I had ever felt during summer and was as clean as Aquafina.

Sydney, Emmalee, TeAnn, and me wearing our skirts we made to church.

Cambrie and me being weirdos.

Noelle, Cambrie, and me being weirdos again.

The party girls of the play "Little Women."

Mark wearing make up with his hair done like a girl. Good times.

Kendall, Emmalee, and me on our way to the Hilary Weeks concert. Noelle, Courtney, and Caitlyn also came.

Kendall, Emmalee, Cassidy, and me.

My favorite Korean buddy, Bonnie with me in the band room.

Once upon a time, I went to Jordin's house and we took pictures.

Emmalee sitting in a flower pot.

Shopping

Here are some amazingly weird pictures from the mall. There were many more, but, for the sake of everyone, I just posted a few... times 2. (that would be six) :)

I have no idea what I was doing, so yeah.

Walking over to Old Navy from the mall.

Yeah, these are some of my hill billy buds.

Poor Kendall; getting beat up by Emmalee. I know, very ironic.

Emmalee and Abby.

Kendall, Cassidy, and me.

Young Women's

Here are some pictures of my kind-of-new ward. I have had a pretty fun time with them.

I guess these music stands were a bit of a load for Noelle.

Barbara started singing "Money, Money, Money" from Mamma Mia!, so I helped her out with some dance moves, even though I can't dance to save my life.

Sadie, Abby, Sydney, and me sitting on Santa's lap. I guess Sydney is his granddaughter or something.

Sheila, our victim and YW 2nd counselor, really deserved this. She started "bullying" Sadie's mom, so everyone chased her down and tackled her. My mom said that when she came running through the cultural hall with us following her, she actually looked like she was scared. That never happens with Sheila. :)

This was our 80's workout mutual activity. We were stretching to warm-up for Paula Abdul's "Get Up and Dance" workout video.

The only moves that I could do in that video were probably the resting walk-in-place move, and this one other thing that was pretty fun. Other than that, I looked horrible attempting to dance.

We had to get a picture together...before everyone got sweaty. :)
