Don't want summer to end!!

So yesterday was tons of fun. I woke up, and started eating chocolate, and dank banana bread that Meagan made. Then I went over to Rachel's house to see what she was doing. She said she was going to the beach, so I went home and she called like 5 minutes later. We went to Three Arch with Britton, Rachel, Kendall, Travis, Jake, and Chandler and her family - her mom. We played in the water and then came back up, and talked for a while. We called Dexi, and Cody brought her over. We played in the water, and Dexi found a rather annoying shell that was totally Harry Potter status that she splashed me with. I then splashed her 10x worse, so we were even haha. This pretty much repeated till the day was over. She worked on her scarf that she will still not tell me who it's for, and then we walked back up. I told her I would carry her, it was rather nice :) After, we went back to my house, and I catered to Dexi. I made cheeseburgers, and Adam came over in a hurry(: Then we got a call from Melanie, and she said they were gonna watch P&P at her house, so we made cookies, but they ended up having it at adams, so it was even better. We brought cookies over, and watched the first half, and then me and Dexi left. We took Dex home, and then the day was pretty much over. The next day (today) I went to church, and watched Psych all day. Lace came over, and Jordan and Lace played Supes, but I couldn't cause I was writing the previous entry. Anyways, lots of fun. Time for Heroes

The Before Background on the trip

Just recently most all of my family came down to California for Jordan's Mission Farewell. The farewell was really great. Jordan gave a really good talk, along with a high consul member, brother Marsh. The young men, young women, and I sung, I'll go where you want me to go, and the meeting was over. It was lots of fun. The next day, all the girls went shopping, and the boys except for me because I had to watch marrett and matthew went and played tennis. Around 12:00 I had a friend named Dexi that just recently moved to California come over. Me, her, Sadaf, and Adam went and played volleyball down at the Kite Hill Recreation Center. After that, Adam left for Marching Band, and me, Sadaf, and Dexi went back to my house and invited a friend over, then we played Mario Party. Afterwards, me, Dexi, and Rachel jumped in our pool. We then jumped over our wall and walked Rachel home, Came back, and stopped by our neighbors tree house. I gave Dexi a boost up, and she fell through it. We then went back to my house, and Dexi called her friend for her birthday.

And me and Matthew had some fun playing with each other while she was on the phone. After that, Cesar took me and Dexi to In'n'Out and we got some food. And had quite the adventure with Ketchup... Afterwards, we got a call from Sadaf asking if we wanted to go to the Kite Hill Pool. Me, her, and Dexi went down to the pool, and came back up. We ate some pizza, and Matthew gave Angela's friend Chantelle quite a scare when he dropped her phone in the toilet and broke it. After that little incident, we went to WalMart and got a Red Box movie and then over to Yogurtland and then took Dexi home. Watched the movie, and went to bed.


Day 1 Driving and Settling in

On the first day, we woke up, and had a filling breakfast. Afterwards, we got on the road. Me, Monica, Matthew, and Dad in one car, Mom, Mark, Jordan, Marrett, and Lacey in the other. Mom's car was ahead most of the way. We had to stop a couple times for matthew to have a potty break, and we stopped at In'n'Out for some food. When we found that we were far behind, be started going above the speed limit. I bet you can guess what happened next...

Yup, we got a ticket. They caught us at 91, but they took 10 off and we got 81. We all took it pretty well... and after driving for a couple more hours, we made it to the house we were staying at. We checked out the house, and found it very nice. We then went to Dinner at Black Bear Diner and all got some really great food. We came back,and went in the pool at the house. After, we went inside and watched a new movie that Dad gave Matthew, the Tale of Desperaux. I went into the other room, and threw up, and then fell asleep. Matthew was the only one that stayed awake while we watched the movie. I woke up about 3 in the morning and retired to my real bed in stead of the couch.

Day 2 Jet Ski Day



On Day 2, me, and Matthew made a Fort, and we played tons of Ping-Pong. We set off at around 12:00 after having a nice breakfast for the Lake. We rented some Jet Ski's, and went to a local beach. We played in the water, and went out on the jet ski's. First, Jordan and Mark went, and then Jordan and I, and Monica and Matthew. Me and Lacey then went out, and then it was lunch time. Mom ran and picked up Arby's. We finished and then me and Dad went out on the lake on the Jet Ski's. We came in, played in the water some more, and turned in for the day.
I took some nice pictures on the way back from the lake. We played Marco Polo in the Pool for about 4 hours when we got back, and we came back inside and turned in for the night. By early that day, my iPod was lost.

Day 3 Disastrous, yet the best, Boat Day

The third day, I have to say, was the best day. I woke up with a TERRIBLE hair day, and it made me laugh :)
The only problem with the day was that Jordan was grumpy for the first few hours. We had a really great breakfast, and then went to go rent a boat. The boat people were crazy. They took pictures of the boat before we used it to make sure we didn't put a single scratch on it.

Me and Lace were on the tube, and Ang, Ces, Monica, and Mark were on the Jet Ski's. We headed over to Copper Canyon and jumped off rocks for a while. Me, Ces, Mark, Jordan, Lacey, Monica, and even finally Angela jumped off the rocks. I took Matthew out for a "super slow" Jet ski ride for "5 minutes." In other words a fun Jet Ski ride for "how ever Matthew wanted" which was actually until I got bored(: After that we started wake boarding. I was riding on the Jet ski's around the boat, and Mom and Dad were on the other one. All of the sudden mom and dad pulled up to the boat, talked for a while and were on their way somewhere far away. I asked what was going on and Monica just pointed at them and Mouthed "follow them." I followed them, (I think my fastest speed following and going faster than them was 56 miles per hour.)I had a few minor problems with my ski that I didn't really tell anyone about, and I got a really sick like 5 foot jump that nobody saw, sadly. After about 30 minutes of Jet Ski riding, we reached a dock. I still didn't really know what we were doing, but after a while, my dad left, and my mom met up with me outside of the no wake zone and told me that Dad was going to get food, and then bringing it over to where we were most of the day yesterday. We were supposed to find the others and tell them that we were going to meet up there. On the way, I began to have some really weird troubles. My jet ski would start going really fast, and then stop working. After a while, it wouldn't even go 5 miles an hour, and then it finally died on me. I beached my ski on a beach that we were right next to that was abandoned except for 2 drunk people and their 2 kids. Mom went on to try to reach the nearest marina so that she could get gas and bring some back to me. As I came up on shore I pushed my ski up onto shore without any help or acknowledgment from the random family. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, the drunk guy asked if his son could stand on it. Random question, but I told him to go for it. Then the drunk people left, and I remembered that I hadn't reapplied sunblock in a long time, so I curled up into a ball and tried to stay away from the sun in the water. I was alone on a beach for 2 hours, and randomly heard what I thought was my brother's voice. Little did I know, it was a local boat Sheriff, who came to rescue me. He tied up my ski to his boat and toed me. He asked me some questions, I thought I was going to get a ticket for underage operation of a jet ski, but nothing happened. He told me that they found my mom just about a mile away also on a beach. She had also ran out of gas. They found her about 30 minutes after I had beached. They asked me how long I thought I had been sitting there and I said about an hour. They said I had been there for at least 2 hours. At that point, I began to get a bit annoyed. They then told me the rest of the story about how after finding my mom, they located my dad, and had him go for gas. After finding him about an hour after locating my mom, they went searching for me. After they dropped me off on a beach, my dad and mom were waiting for me and it seemed all would fall into place. WRONG. My dad put about 1/4 - 1/3 gallon of gas into the oil tank of our jet ski's, so it was messed up and we couldn't drive. In desperation, I found that there was pizza in the trunk of the car. I ran across the hot gravel (it was 120 degrees farenheight outside) to get the pizza, and found that it was mushroom. I mean, could the day get any worse? hahaha After that, We found someone to give us our phone and after about 10 minutes of calling, finally got ahold of someone, and had them come to the dock. At that point, we had about an hour left with the boat, so me and ang went for a "Wild Ride" on the tube.
Then Matthew, Ang, and I went for a "Matthew Ride" and Jordan went wakeboarding. After, Me and Ang went for a 5 minute "Death Ride." We came in, and returned the boat, and went home. On the way home, me and Matthew swapped hats. After, we went in the pool, and had some nice desserts, like Ding-dongs, and Ice Cream Cake. We then watched the Tale of Desperaux again cause nobody really watched it the first time, and then we went to sleep.

Day 4 The Day we go home

On day 4, we went in the pool all of the morning, and took some nice pictures.


After, we had a good breakfast at Black Bear Diner. Me and Jordan shared the strawberry pancakes, Lacey got the French Dip, Matt and Marrett shared a pancake, Monica got a steak and Mark got all you can eat fish. Mom got fish, and Dad got pancakes, Ang got a turkey club, and Ces got a Ruben Club. Breakfast was really good. We then went and rented movies for the car ride home. Lacey picked Hannah Montanna, and Princess protection program...
Enough said. But it was fun. We had a good ride home, and all got home safe.

EndingTime After Time

Well I am super glad we took the trip. Time after time, family trips are crazy, time after time, family trips are fun, but most importantly, Time after time, family trip makes memories, and this is one I won't forget. I hope we can have another time where the family is all together again. I love all you guys <3

Time for the Heroes :)

Family Reuinion/Moms Birthday

We just got back from a fun weekend. We had a family reunion with the Jensen family for my mom's birthday. We had lots of fun. There was tons of food, cake, toys, 4 wheeling, and motorcycle riding. For most of the time, I was show-furring the little tykes around the backyard on the 4 wheeler. I actually kind of enjoyed it. Later that day me, Angela, and Cesar went motorcycle riding. Angela tried to learn how to jump on a motorcycle, and I was just getting the hang of it. It was tons of fun, though. We went super fast. The next day, we woke up and went to Aunt Vicki's home ward. Dingle... Joy :) Lots of fun interesting people there. We spent most of the later day talking, and cooking. We had a delicious dinner prepared by Aunt Vicki and Mom. We had creamed corn, salad, bread, green beans, cinnamon bread, and I think Ribs, not really sure, some kind of meat, anyways, it was delicious. From there, we began to leave. Had some nice conversations, and lots of fun. We all loved it.

Family Fun(:

Okay... SO!!! For my Mom and Dad's anniversary, my Dad thought it would be a good idea to make all of our immediate family, and some extended, come up/down to Utah to celebrate it. So my dad made it into a surprise party. This sorta made it difficult for me and Jeremy (my brother) to make it to Utah, though, because we were supposed to be on the same flight. Well I went to seminary dressed in normal clothes (with a spare change so my mom wouldn't recognize what I was wearing) and changed. Then I went to the morning side that was put on for us by Barbara Lamprect. It was a pretty good lesson. It was about how our testimony is like sleep. Anyways, so all my friend's left, I was sitting there waiting for Jeremy to come pick me up to go to the Airport. So me and sister Lamprect sit there for a while waiting for him, and about 45 minutes after I got out of seminary, Jeremy comes into the parking lot. We go and have a nice breakfast at Ted's, and then head over to the house and wait for Mom and Dad to leave. After a while, we get sorta restless so we call dad to see what's up, and naturally, they are still getting ready to leave. So we wait till they leave, and we go up to the house. I grab my bag that I hid underneath my crap in my closet, and we are off to Jeremy's house. In order to make our flight at about 11:30 I think it was, we were making pretty good time, but Jeremy's house was out of power, and he couldn't get his bag that was in the garage or something like that, so I sat there in the car for... lets just say longer than we should have... and he comes out with a bag he threw together in a couple minutes. At this point we think it is possible that we can make it to our flight. We get stuck in a little traffic on the way there, but there is still a chance of making it. We are about 5 blocks away from the airport at about 11:05, and we hit every single stop light there. We go to see if our car can get valet parked, but the valet isn't there. We then go to a parking garage pretty far from the airport, and begin running. When we get in the airport at the baggage drop off, it is about 11:20 or so, and we ask if we can get on. Unfortunately we were too late, so we took a layover flight and set off for Las Vegas. By about half way through the flight I think for a second and realize that the only pants I have are some old pajama pants. This is really bad... Haha(:

That picture is on the plane, before I realized that it is probably illegal to be taking pictures, so I put the camera away... So anyways we get to Vegas and have like 6 hours down time till our flight to salt lake. We head over to a nearby Denny's (by the way, the Las Vegas airport is like a mall...) and have a bite to eat. It was pretty yummy. We sit for a couple hours, Jeremy finds that he doesn't have his Cell Phone Charger, so he goes and buys one. We head over to our gate, there is a lot of downtime, I take some pictures to occupy myself. Walk about 100 times on the walking escalator (which I was quite amused by) I mean... LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE!!

THEY ARE JUST SITTING THERE. NOT EVEN WALKING. Complete abuse of the walking escelator... See now this lady, though you can't tell by the picture, knows how to use it. She is actually walking on it, and going faster that 2 miles per hour.

Anyways, so I thought that was pretty funny. I took some pictures of myself while we were sitting there... There were some pretty good lighting areas, and also some pretty cool statues and views...



So anyways. Lets fastforward several more hours to when we get off the plane. First of all I am freezing my butt off... Anyways, Jordan and Lanchey come to pick us up, and of course they are in the Audi... We load our luggage, and make our way to the Rodesio's (spelling) parking lot to wait for Monica, Mark, Matthew, Marrett, Angela, Cesar, Mom, and Dad. There is some creepy cop that keeps passing our car and doing noting, just passing over and over... we were a bit.... Frazzled, to say the least. Anyways, so the family (besides mom and dad) run over into Rodesio's (which by the way is a Brazillian restraunt where there is a huge variety of meats that the waiters come around with on skewers and ask you if you want it, then cut off a slice for you.) Okay so we are in the restraunt waiting for Mom and Dad to show up. I am playing with Matthew, and talking to him, saying stuff like, "isn't it exciting to see grandma?" and he is like... "YEAH!!! THERE SHE IS!!" And whaddaya know... there's mom. Looking straight at us... I am sorta panicking... So I am just like, "umm.... heyyyy... O.o" and so of course Jordan says I ruined it... But whatever. So there was some pretty good food there. We had a good time, I got a picture with everyone there, had a "rawr-fest" with Matthew, played with Marrett, and ate some Chicken Heart... it was surprisingly pretty good...





So, we finish dinner, and head over to Uncle Brad's house for some more fun...
When we get there, we set up our beds, talk for a while, give some nice hugs, go downstairs and play air hockey, throw jelly beans, and then head off to bed



When we wake up, Jordan, Jeremy, Dad, Angela, Cesar, and Mark go to "play basketball" (set up for the surprise party) While me, monica, mom, matthew, marrett, and I think Lacey... go over to go shopping... Some guy at the Kitchen Applience store intrigues mom with some solar oven piece of junk, and in the meantime, Matthew is BEGGING for some gummy worms... Dad calls to let us know that the party is ready and to come over ASAP. Monica tells me to do some quality whining and saying I am hungry, and Dad calls mom to tell her to meet them at the church where they are "playing basketball." After a while, my whining gets to her, and we leave. So we are going to the church and my mom has her GPS and we are freaking out because we think we are entering on the wrong side because she would see all the cars, but it didn't end up happening like that... Then Mom like half circles the building just to be nosy, and we head in... We have some fun at the party, and see some relatives, Mom says she was surprised. I don't really buy it... But whatever :) We have some snow fights, One of which ends with me getting snowballs shoved down my pants... Which you should not try at home... it was horrible... So we leave the party and it was fun





Later that night, me, Angela, and Cesar make a snowman for an hour or so. It is a fun time, it actually looked pretty cool... later we play a family game... Which obviously comes with some fighting, but it was really fun. It was a game where you all have lots of dice, and you have to try to fight for the top... Okay., I'm not gonna try to explain it, cause it would take forever... Anyway, we finish the game. Play some more air hockey/foozeball/pool and then me, Lacey, Jordan, Angela, Mark, and Monica play a game called sequence. It was super fun, and you couldn't talk, so we didn't fight. We all go to bed after a night of fun games, and get ready for a leave the next day... (for most of us, that is)





So we wake up and have some down time, then head over to the salt lake center and such. Have lots of fun. Head over, get a bite to eat at Rumbi's. It was yummy. Everyong except Mom and Dad leave to go back to their respective homes, and everyone makes it back safely.





It was a really great weekend, I loved it!!
