It's been too long...

Holy cow, this is gonna be a long post. Be prepared!

Alright it has been WAY too long since my last post. (OVER A MONTH!)
Since summer has started, I've been home for 7 out of 19 days. I feel like summer's leavin, whether I'm havin fun or not. haha.
Well, The monday after school started, I was home-Until about 6pm. At 6, I went to Lehi. I was goin up to my sister's house in Lehi until my sister, her kids and I left to Wyoming two days later. So, I just helped her and her husband with the kids, for a few days, then we left. Wednesday morning at 7:30 everyone was woken up. Then, we dressed the kids, fed them, got all the bags in the car, and we took off at about 8:30. We were on the road for Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The Car ride was interesting. Between changing movies, to passing out drinks and snacks, it was great. It was a long 7 hours, but we got to my other sister's house by 4 or so.
We were there! Woot woot! We made it. The whole reason for going to Wyoming was to attend my nephew's baptism--which wasn't until Saturday. Tori was going up earlier than the rest of our family and I went with.
While we were in Wyoming, we helped watch 9 lil chillins at and under the age of 5. It was hectic most of the time with meals, snacks, and activities, but we all survived.
When Friday rolled around, relatives started arriving throughout the day, and I was anxious to seem my mom and dad. They finally got there---just in time for the kids' bed time. (Technically I am a kid, but I didn't have to go to bed with the others) The next morning everyone was everywhere, trying to get ready for the baptism. We drove the long distance to Candi and Mike's stake center, and we witnessed the baptism of my nephew Tighe. (Tighe was baptised on his birthday, cause it happened to be a saturday. :D)
After the baptism, and some lunch, we went to Lions Park. We canoed and played on the playground. It was a very fun filled saturday.
On Sunday mostly everyone was going home. BUT--before we could leave, My sisters braided my hair for Girls Camp, which started on Tuesday. Taraleigh, Tori, and Candi were all diligently working on my hair as I complained at how long it was taking. In the end, it was very cute. But, because it was done, that meant mom, dad, taraleigh, jordan, lilly, and I were all heading home. We packed the car, said our goodbyes, and heading toward the road home.
Once again it was a long ride, but we all survived. We left Candi's house at about 2 and got home at about 10. (We stopped along the way for dinner, which was about an hour long.)
Monday was a packing day. Crunching to get everything for Girls Camp was stressful but I lived. I was all packed and ready.
Tuesday morning I finalized last minute things and I was off. Mom dropped me at the stake center at about 11:15, and the bus was to arrive at noon. Ofcourse, there were lots of goodbye hugs and kisses, but I was ready.
Now, the buses are never on time. The bus got there at about 12:45. It was rediculous, but what can ya do?
We got to Mia Shalom at 2:30, and we all unpacked. I slept in the attic of the A frame Cabin, by the window in the back.
We did various crafts at camp, and it was great. We even helped put a styro-foam replica of the Salt Lake Temple together. It was a fun and spiritual expirience. (Even though it poured almost every day and it was FREEZING! Not to mention the ice cold water...)
Then last saturday i got back from girls camp. I was glad to be home and I was most excited about a warm shower. ;D
Now, this week so far, I have babysat. On monday I babysat Tori's kids for 5 and a half hours, then another 2 and a half on tuesday. I earned 40 dollars, so hey, it was worth it.
Last night I slept over at my bud Kate's house. We played bomberman, mario kart, and mario party on her game cube, then we made popcorn and watched Sleepless in Seattle. It was a good first 15 minutes of the show---until I fell asleep.
Now, today I have been lazy and sat on the computer pretty much all day. And later tonight, I have to go to the church for Young Womens/Young Mens. Yahoo!
Well, now that I have updated you all, I think it is time for my fingers to take a break from typing!
I promise I will post more often!
