I am finally done with Cheer and the first few months of School. The first few months always seem the craziest. During cheer I seriously felt like I had no life, and I was glad that as soon as Cheer ended, break started. I can finally not be a home body and not be too tired to hang out with friends on the weekends. So far break has been pretty fun. It actually started a day early, because we had a snow day due to the ice. The roads have been crazy here. The first two days of break we baked and baked and baked. It was quite fun until I ate way too much junk food and was not feeling well for a few days. It was also the weather here too that made me sick. Then on Sunday I had to speak in Church on Christmas, for the second year in a row. At lest it is an easy topic. On Christmas Eve we went over to our friend's, the bliss's house. There were a couple other families there and it was fun to just hang out. We played wii, guitar hero, and ate. Also Brother Bliss's companany gathered money for a lady that works with them. (without her knowing.) She has four kids and is divorced. She has two beds so she lets her kids sleep in those two beds and she sleeps on the couch. The Bliss's went out with the money that was collected, (over $1,000) and got food, toys, and a few clothes for the family. We got to go with them to deliver it. They weren't home so we left. We went back to see if they were home and they weren't so we waited. While we waited my dad, brother Bliss, and two other guys that were at the party, helped shovel her driveway. Soon after, they got home, and it was so cool to see their reactions to everything that they got. I will never forget the experience. As we drove off we rolled down all of our windows, waved, and said, "Merry Christmas." They all waved and were so excited! On Christmas morning we all woke up at 6am and came down to open presents. I got ugg boots, a new cell phone, My Best Friends Wedding, a big Edward poster, a new CTR ring, (it's in like cursive letters.)some sweaters, a vest, hat, gloves, scarf, socks, lotion, a sweat outfit, scene it (disney channel style, for the family) and my parents got Me and Ellie into Ice Skating lessons. I am excited! I think it will be really fun! Christmas Day was super relaxing. We all stayed in our new pjs all day and just ate leftovers from the night before. I am super excited for New Years! Happy Holidays to everyone! Here's some pictures of Christmas:

Update...
I finally have a moment where I am not doing homework, at cheer practice, stressing out about school, or as tired as can be. I started cheer a couple of weeks ago and I have been sooooo busy it's not even funny. I also somehow in school started new chapters/lessons in all my classes at the same time. That means that for the past twoo weeks I have had homework in EVERY SINGLE CLASS. It has been making me crazy. Especially on Wednesday nights, because I have Mutual. I usually have a lot of homework and at 5:00 I have piano. Then I come home for a half hour and go to mutual. Our church is a half hour aways so it takes forever to get to and from the church. And when I try to do homework when I am at the church early, someone is usually there and they end up talking my ear off because they have nothing better to do. So I usually get home at about 9:00-9:30. Every other night is okay, but I feel like I have no life. This is school year is dramatic, boring, and my classes seem to get extremely harder by the minute. It is making me crazy. And when I am not getting good grades I am as stressed as can be. Anyways, last Saturday we went and got pics taken. When I was in Arizona I went to a photoshoot with Miah. I saw the pictures and they turned out beautiful of Mariah, but not of me. So I got some shots taken just of me and they turned out REALLY good. I was excited, because most pictures of me don't turn out very good. So here's some pics:

New Post!!!
I finally have time to sit down and write a post. I kept meaning to blog after mexico, but never got the chance with my birthday and school starting. I am very very busy with school and will get even more busy when cheer starts. I have had so much homework and so little sleep. I think I am going to die. Eighth grade so far really sucks. I don't have any friends, I don't like my school, I am always tired, I am always sick, because I am so tired, and I have A TON OF HOMEWORK. I never thought it was possible to spend more than an hour doing homework. Last night I only had two things to do and it took me three hours, becuase you have to write out EVERYTHING or you don't get any credit. It makes me crazy! So to be more positive, we got new uniforms for Spirit Squad, which are very cute. I started the book Twilight and absolutely love it.(Now that I am at a good part.) Dancing with the Stars has started, and I have started babysitting a lot again, so that means that I am not broke anymore. By the way Thank You to everyone who got me gifts for my Birthday! I keep meaning to call everyone, but I like I said I have been busy with school and babysitting more, so I have no time. Last night at Family Night we made a goal to make our Sunday's more spiritual and more productive. So be expecting a phone call or a Thank You card. Well I am off to do my homework, take a shower, and clean up my room, because it is MAKING ME CRAZY, and I have very little homework so tonight is a good night to do it!
I will post some updates, pictures, etc. as soon as I get sometime to be able to sit down and do it!

New Hairstyle!
While I was in Arizona my hair was not looking pretty. I met my cousins girlfriend, and fell in love with her hair. I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now, which surprised me, because I absolutely LOVE long hair! I have been telling my mom for quite some time that I also want to go darker with my color. Everytime I metion anything about coloring my hair darker the answer is always...NO. So after talking about my hair, my mom finally admitted that my hair is not a very pretty color, mostly from the sun. Of course Ellie and Gracie get the good hair. My cousin Mariah has not flat ironed her hair for about 2 months. I figured if I had short hair I wouldn't really have to flat iron my hair either. Her hair has gotten so much thicker and healthier. My hair, because of a flatiron was DEAD. So I decided to cut my hair short and my mom finally gave into letting me color my hair dark. My hair lady just colored her daughters hair a chocolate color and she said it was really pretty, so that is the color we decided to do. So here this is my hair before...
...and here is my hair After

Catching Up!
This may be a long post, but I have a lot I would like to share! So here it goes:
Girls Camp 2008
Our Girls Camp this year was so amazing! I couldn't ask for a better ward. I love all of the Young Women, they are all so amazing! Girls Camp was so much fun, despite the Bugs, Racoons, Bug Bites, and little arguments here and there from being together for too long! One night a bunch of were really freaked out, because last year our cabin got attacked by racoons and none of us like racoons. So all of us said a prayer and read my favorite scripture, Alma 37:37. After reading it all of us were teary eyed and knew that we would be okay. It might sound like we were scared of nothing, but trust I am deathly afraid of racoons. Once of the girls came and scared us one night, and I had pushed a girl off of her bed and was standing on it with a flashlight. I get it from my dad! He saw a racoon at scout camp and jumped on the Young Men's President's lap. He is now the Bishop. Anyways, everyone made the best of everything! No one was left out or picked on. The last night was Bishop's night. After he gave a little devotional we had a testimony meeting. I have never felt such a strong spirit before. Every single girl got up and bore their testimony. Everyone was crying and some girls got up more than once. It was so amazing! Now that we are home from Girls Camp, we are so close and for the most part we all get along. Like I said I could't ask for better Young Women in our ward!
Venetian Night
The day we got back from Girls Camp, we went to the city for Venetian Night with our neighbors. It was so much fun, despite being more tired than ever. We brought food and made it on a little grill, watched a boat show, and watched AMAZING fireworks. I have never seen such cool fireworks in my life! They were awesome!
Here's some Pics:
Cheer Camp
After making my school's Spirit Squad (Cheer and Pom Squad) again, I of course had to go to the summer camp again. This camp started on Monday and ended on Wednesday. It was three days from 9am-4:30om. Last year it went by really slow, so this year I did not want to go. Like last year we hosted the college cheerleader intructors that teach us everything at camp. It's really fun having them stay with us, becuase I get extra practice, we get to stunt with ellie and gracie, and they are really fun girls! This is year we learned a lot, and got to do some really cool stunts! Luckily I was not a flyer this year, so I didn't get hurt like last year. Anyways, on the last day of camp we hold a showcase for the parents to see everything that we have learned during our longs hours of camp! The intructors also give our awards to us girls. The award I got was an invitation to dance on New Year's Eve at the Capital One Bowl during half time. It's really cool, becuase you go to Florida for 6 days to learn everything, you get to go to Disney World, and you get a cute outfit! So I am really excited to go! It will be really fun!
Sorry about the LONG post, but I am just having a fun summer! And Can't wait for the rest of it! I leave on Sunday for Arizona!

Well it has been a while since I last blogged, and it won't be a while my blog will be updated after this post. (If that makes any since.) Our Summer is completely CRAZY! It all starts this week while my Mom and I prepare for Girls Camp! I am really excited to go, because my Mom will be there, I will be a 2nd year, and my friend Shelby will be one of my YCL's. We go to camp on Tuesday and get home on Saturday. Then on the Monday after camp I have a Cheer Camp for 3 days, from 9:00am-4:30pm. Two college girls come and teach us a few dance routines, Floor Cheers, and Sideline Cheers. The two girls will be staying with us, so I will have extra practice! Fun Stuff! After Cheer Camp I have 3 days to get ready to go see the Martinsen's in Arizona! I can't wait! I have not seen them in 3 years! And I haven't been swimming ALL summer! So I will most definately swim there! We stay there for 9 days! Yahh! Then we come back for 3 days and get ready to go to MEXICO! FOR A WEEK! I am so excited! I have been there before, and I know what to expect, so it makes me even more excited! Once we get back from Mexico, we have 5 days until we start school! Our Summer is PACKED, but I can't wait for it!

So You Think You Can Dance
I know it's a little late, but So You Think You Can Dance Has Arrived! I have never watched this show, but for so long I have heard MANY people say they absolutely LOVE it! I am definately a dancer so you would think that I would be the shows biggest fan. So after hearing about the show AGAIN, I decided I was going to watch the next season that came on. So American Idol ended and I was a litte depressed knowing that there weren't any shows that were on during the summer. I love sitting on the couch doing laundry and watching a show with my mom once the little kids are in bed. Once So You Think You Can Dance started I was literally GLUED to the TV. There were some AMAZING dancers. As always I never like the Auditions for shows. So I was very excited for the top 20 to start. It started about two weeks ago. Again I know I am a little late. This is my new favorite show! Anyone who doesn't watch I would definately consider watching it. Here are some pictures from So You Think You Can Dance:
