At Last

At last we finally went out on the boat yesterday! It was so much fun riding the tube and water skiing. At first we had two tubes going at once and we would try to hop across when one got close. Well I was on the smaller tube and when I went to jump onto the bigger one I didn't make it all the way so my body was half on one tube and half on the other. I was laughing so hard I couldn't pull myself on and I finally just fell. It was hilarious. We were out there all morning and when we finally went back Analise and I rode the tube. The water was like glass and my dad was being pretty crazy with us (cuz we're pros hahah). Well finally when he did a really sharp turn the tube went flying it flipped over and when I hit the water my body was like a rag doll. One leg went over my head and the other I don't even know but it hurt. And Analise literally rolled on top of the water. My dad calmed down a little bit after that and the rest of the way back Analise and I sang (actually more like yelled) Taylor Swift songs. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go again!

PERMIT!..... finally

Yes that's right. I got my permit, so watch out fellow drivers! My mom and I went in this last Monday to Mesquite. I had been studying really hard and I was pretty confident. I ended up only missing one. I was a little upset that my mom wouldn't let me drive home but it was actually probably a very good thing...... I think I would have killed us both. But I've been doing alot of driving around town. I need to have 50 hours of driving time and then the next step will be my LICENSE!

Happy Birthday America!

As we all know yesterday was our country's birthday. Our family celebrated it the same way we do every year and it was alot of fun. We all woke up early to go to the fairgrounds for the breakfast. After we all ate we layed out on the grass and enjoyed the water games, candy drop, and firetrucks. Analise and I actually went home after the candy drop. She finally has her license!! When we got home we watched The Prestige. It was an awesome movie about these two magicians trying to get revenge on eachother and I highly reccomend it. So after that got over our family went up to my grandma's pool to swim and have a barbeque. We ended up being there for about 2 hours and when I got home I slept until about 7. When I woke up our family went back up to the fairgrouds for dinner. We layed our blankets back out and after they served dinner they did the fireworks. It was so nice laying there, surrounded by family and feeling that sense of pride I think we all have on Independence Day. When we got back home my dad started fireworks of our own in our driveway. My uncle Steve brought Wyatt and Emma over and they brought some fireworks too. Analise and I were sitting on the grass fairly closer to the fireworks than everyone else and actually got pelted a couple of times by pieces of fireworks. We didn't even know what some of them were supposed to do and I'm sure there were a couple illegal ones in there hahaha but it was alot of fun. And I'm so proud to be an American!
