pretty much professional.

since my dad is a painter....

you gotta love him.



automatic motivation.

when you do something uncomfortable your mind automatically tells you to stop.

and when you are conditioning you cant listen to that consoling thought.

you have to keep going and going hard if you want to become better and stronger.

if you stop even once, you will keep stopping.

i have learned this over my years of soccer and basketball.

it is a great lesson learned.

so, even if you think you cant keep going, you can. no matter what.

You Can.

back to basics

when you all week in a T-shirt and hair in a ponytail, you look forward to dressing up for Sunday!!

yesterday i was debating what to wear when i came across a dress that i got 3 years ago and  hadn't worn that much in those years. so i decided to try it..... and guess what?? I LOVED IT!!! i had never really liked that dress, but i guess something has changed!

i love it so much i took pictures...

now that i am content.

ok. finally came up with a blog design that i like.

summer is over half way over.
seems like it just started.
 don't get me wrong i am excited for school, but i enjoy the summer time too much to give it up for homework and utah snow.
i need to get the most of the rest of this sunny season.
so here is my bucket list for the last 4ish weeks of summer.

make the Varsity soccer team. (JV would work too!)

seven peaks. seven peaks. and then seven peaks.

finish the shirt i am making for the first day of school.

start a good book series ( any suggestions)

see Harry Potter 7 part:2 ( after an all day HP marathon, of course!)

get a new camera (what happened to my old one.)

photoshoot!!!

and.... anyone doing something fun this summer??

HELP!!

i am not sure if i like this new design...
so tell me what you think or any ideas you have!!

singing in the rain.

soccer practice cut short.

almost being struck by lightening with one of your best friends.

being soaked by the rain.

loving every moment.

cousins. oh, the cousins. :)

summer time.

You and Me.

yeah. if only i had someone that would be this cute around me. but, let's face it. we all do. don't we??

i am in Love!!

i was doing my usual blog stalking and went to one of my favorites.

 my sister's closet. and i saw an amazing video by an artist i had never heard of before!!

 Andrew Allen.. well anyway i fell in love.

can i get a new one?

we were hiking.
and hallie realized that her CTR ring had fallen off.
which then began the search.

we did find it.
but it got me thinking.

i really need a new one.

of course i have had CTR rings before.

but i dont currently do.
and i want one.

it's gone. forever.

rafting down a river with my besties Hallie Paige Valentina  and Shaylee
was told that there weren't alot of rapids.
stupidly brought my prize possesion. my camera. attached to me at all times.
realized that the rapids were much bigger than told.
and got scared.
not for me or my friends.
but for my camera.

i lost it in the river.
and almost cried. (i did cry)

i happened to save the SD card though.

and this was my last picture.

Fourth Year

this event comes annually for most of us utah girls.

where we all get together and forget about make-up and looking good.

we stay up late talking, just talking.

we all smell like campfire and have frizzy hair.

but still manage to be the most beautiful girls around!

testimonies. pranks. secret sisters. camping. matching sweatshirts. you know, the works.

GIRL'S CAMP 2011 here we come!!

yeah. i went there.

yesterday i had the experience to use my library card for the first time. i got it about 3 years ago.
but, i got some great romantic novels and have been reading non-stop.
please someone call me to hang out!!! :)

whoops! :)

it started out as a normal popcron popping experience.

untill the lid came off and popped popcorn everywhere

but i enjoyed it anyway.

how i cope.

i am pretty sure most of you know that i love editing photos. well i couldn't decide how i liked this one.

You tell me!!

dark blue?

this one riminds of twilight, for some reason.
vampire me!

sunny :)

some creativity!



this is all i ask.

please stop disappointing me.

stop letting me down.

i get really excited and then you dishearten me.

its happen before.

and it happened today.

you make plans, and never follow through.

you need to tell me whats going on. and not 5 minutes before.

please. just stop.

if you cant follow through on anything, then don't even try.

it drives me insane. but i cant seem to tell you.

this is all i ask.

i have cried over this too much.

just stop.

raining and running

middle of the summer. and guess what? it rains.

and most people might be the ones to complain about this amazing mishap, but not me. i loved it.

i thought it was incredibly perfect.

the heat of july. and the lightening/thunder and rain.

so, i sat outside with my family. and it was great.

then this morning, i had soccer, but then me and my best friend decided to go on a run. which was also amazing. though i realized that i am very out of shape, i loved it.

July the 4th. How we Celebrate.

You have got to love holidays. and family.
But spending your holiday with your family has got to be one of the best things in the world.

Fourth of July. Independence Day. A free country. Men and women who dies to give us freedom.

All of these must be celebrated.

How does my family celebrate??

Spending all day over at grandma's house. With mostly all of my cousins. Great food. Games. Waterslide. Movies. And fireworks, of course.
