I am starting back to (home) school today and I am feeling rather good about it, I am sad that summer is gone but I am really hopeful about this fall and I have a good feeling about everything that has to come. :)

Here are some recent pictures of my life and what I have been doing to help catch you up on things.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

I don't really have much to blog about right now, it has been such a busy summer for me and a fantastic one at that! I have so many awesome memories from this summer so I thought I would tell you guys a few off the top of my head:

1. The fair was so awesome this year!! I went on a few rides that I really didn't think I would go on and those 2 rides were the SKYMASTER (left picture) and the ZIPPER (right picture).
                                    
              
                                                        (The zipper is my favorite!)


2. A few nights ago I invited my friends Amy and Katelyn to my house one night, they only live a little more than a few blocks away so they walked to my house and I kinda met them half way, we walked back to my house and then went for a walk and that was pretty great, :) the sky looked like it was gonna rain so we ran back to my house and made it back just in time. But in the end we decided to go out in the rain and dance and we got wet anyways. We got back in the house and watched a movie and ate icecream and strawberries. :)

3. And last but not least going on a shopping spree with my auntie and cousin one weekend!

I'm sorry but that's all I can think of right now.

Star gazing is beyond amazing!

Last week I had a sleepover with my friend Regina, on that night we slept on her trampoline
and star gazed until we fell asleep, it was so much fun! -unfortunately I fell asleep before most of the stars were out. But even before I fell asleep it was still really beautiful.





"You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you." (Nehemiah 9:6)

Some pictures- :)

                                    2 pictures from a mini photo shoot I had in my room :)
                                     
                               ~Pictures from my sleepover over with Regina

                                          ( I have said this before but I'm going to say it again)
                                            I LOVE SUNSETS!!

                                        I like taking pictures from all kind of views ;)

                                          I loved the color of the sky at that moment!

                                           More sunsets

SUPRISE!!

So who here likes suprises or giving suprises to other people?? I do!! There is just something about giving someone a random suprise that just makes me happy. :) Well yesterday I just felt my sister Rachel needed a suprise, my mom sent me this cool link about something called a "suprise ball". Here is the link: http://sometimesshesleeps.blogspot.com/2011/07/surprise-ball.html

What you need:

-small-ish gifts, or at least flexible ones and at least 10, but it really doesn't matter
-paper streamers, the more colors the better!
a label or sticker to hold it all together

It almost took me a hour to make, but it was worth it. :)
That night she opened it in our living room, it took her
 more than a 1/2 an hour to open it!

                                      unwrapping...

                                      still unwrapping..

unwrapping some more..

                                         I'm getting there..

                                      I think we struck gold!!

                                     Haha nope it's just a zebra

                                         What is in this thing??

                                        This is cool...

                                        Wow! That's a lot of streamers!

                                  ( I love you Rachel! <3 :) )
                                 
God bless and always love!!
