what would i do without this kid?! he makes me laugh so much. and is always good for a lot of entertainment. this summer i got to spend a lot of time with him. some of our favorite things to do is play soccer, go on bike rides, and cut sticks. and have some great chats. surprisingly enough he has some great advice when it comes to boys so i always tell him all my secrets. i love it. haha

i sure do love this kid and am going to miss him so much when i go back to college.

someone turns 20.

i cant believe i'm 20 years old. i dont understand how i am that old. i'm not a teenager anymore and i'm kind of freaking out. 

i had such a good birthday this year. started the day off by going to the pancake house which is always so delicious! then we went to the beach and ended the day with my favorite meal and opening up presents and having cake! it was such a good day spent with my family in McCall. 

i loveee this pictures. it was our last present we opened. and can you guess what we got?!

an iphone!! i was so excited. i've wanted an iphone for a long time so i was super happy.

bring on the 20's. 

favorite place on the earth.

i've had quite the summer in McCall. i've had so much time just laying on the beach with my family and going swimming. the weather has been super nice and the water has been so warm. so i go swimming quite a bit while i'm there. i love itt. i love just staying down at the beach. and i loveee watching the sunset at night. 

trips to Aspen to get me the besttt strawberry lemonade ever! 

rides on the dingy with these cute boys. 

the beautiful sunset <3

i love McCall, Idaho.

McDermitt, Nevada.

i will never forget this small town in Nevada. our ride home from California was a NIGHTMARE. we left at 7 in the morning and didn't get home until 2 in the morning. it was the longest trip of my lifeee. but quite an adventure. we got stuck in McDermitt, Nevada for 5 hours. there was big fire that was on the road so we weren't allowed to go through. luckily tho we were stuck in a town, other people just had to stop on the road with no water, food or bathrooms. anddd we got to go in a library for those 5 hours where there was AC and a TV.

yea it was a long day. but we made it fun and had quite an adventure.

after 2 years.

my cousin is home! Kyle Nielson. and man am i happy! he is seriously hilarious. we went down with our grandparents to listen to his homecoming talk and see him and what a great trip that was! he still is the same old Kyle just a little nicer :) haha it was so good to see him tho and spend time with him. I also havent seen all his siblings for 2 years so it was soooo good to see all of them! they all have grown up so much and are all so fun to hang out with! 

has such a good trip with these kids. now for the ride home was a different story.

i participated in a soccer tournament this summer and it sure was fun to play again! especially play with my friend and sisters again. we didn't do so hot. but it was fun so thats all that counts right?

summer camp.

i decided to put a summer camp on for girls for two weeks and i absolutely loved it! i had so much fun. i'm excited to be a teacher and use these things i practiced when i become a teacher.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday were 4-7 year olds. then Tuesday and Thursday were 8-11 year olds. each day was filled with different crafts, activities, i fed them lunch, they had outside time and just many fun things to do! it was a good two weeks and i'm glad i put on this camp. here are just a ton of pictures of what we did. sorry there's no organization of the pictures i just dont feel like doing that.

some of the things we did: made name tags, decorated bags, decorated crowns, i put tinsel in their hair, we danced and sang, i showed them how to french braid, they decorated a picture frame, showed them how to make a friendship bracelet, made a cute fly, they planted a seed, they played pictionary in pudding, they danced, played with chalk, we did science experiments, they decorated blocks with rub ons, made bows from duct tape they made bracelets, plus many many more activities.

got to hang out with these cuties for two weeks and had so much fun! <3
