Summer Activities

Wow! It has been a little while since I last updated. I was going to be so good about posting, but we all know how that turned out. Anyways, since it has been awhile, I don't know what to post about because I have been doing so many projects and activities! Soo... I will just highlight a few of my favorites and coolest! Well in my opinion they are, I hope y'all agree! :D

First: I love doing toenails! Sarah and I always buy at least one new color of nail polish about every time we go shopping. So, we have a beautiful collection! The biggest problem is what we are going to do when we go our separate ways... fight to the death I guess! ;) Anyways here are a few that I've done that are pretty fun.

Ruth - we came up with the idea together and I helped with the hardest part! We thought it was very patriotic.

Sarah

Hannah - my favorite! I've had this for about a month, which is the longest I think I've gone all summer without repainting.

Second- Food! The last week of July was fair so we hung out up there a few times. And what is a fair without funnel cake?? So we got some the last day of fair when we went to go see the motorcycle show (which, unfortunately, was a fail because of the weather) and got some funnel cake and I wanted more, so that night for scripture study we made some!

Then I saw a recipe for cheesecake on Pinterest and wanted to try it out. So that was our scripture treat tonight. And I have to say... it was ah-mazing! Best cheesecake I've ever made from scratch. Also it was incredibly simple, only 4 ingredients. The hard part was the crust. I thought we had graham crackers at home, but I was mistaken. So I took some cookies that we had (generic version of oreos) and scraped the cream out and used those. Turned out pretty good! Final evaluation of cheese cake: SUCCESS!

I made a normal pie size and had leftovers so I made some little cupcake size ones.

Third: Craftiness

This cute little painting is for my dear friend Lizz. Saw it on Pinterest (surprise, surprise hehe :D) Thought it would be fun to make and ta-da!

And this project came from NOT Pinterest! I thought of it all on my own! We have these really cute hot chocolate canisters (sadly, the hot chocolate is not my favorite) anyways I needed something for hair stuff. So I cleaned the label off (with help from my mom: Thanks Mommy!) and then found some really cute scrapbook paper I had and mod podged the paper on. It had a little 1 to 2 inch gap so I just added another small piece of paper. It turned out so great and I LOVE it!

And best for last: Sometime in July Sarah, Mark, and I went to Ogden so that Sarah could take her personal trainer test. She is now officially certified. Yay Sarah! Anyways after that we did some shopping, had lunch with some friends from camp: Seth, Spencer, and Richard. That was way fun! Then we went to this place called Get Air. Its a place full of trampolines that you just jump around on an

d can do tricks and stuff. Except I was too scared to do any fun tricks... but it was still fun! And then after that we met up with Alan at the mall to get our outfits for his and Laura's wedding. Sarah's friends Michael met up with us there and then we went and had ice cream. Last we went to a mattress store to meet Laura's parents and then we went home. It was a very long but fun day! The point of this story is that we always see such interesting people at the mall. This trip was no exception.

He had pink hair that was in a fo-hawk and those skinny jeans and a purse and like 6 inch heels that had like spiked rhinestones on the back. Very strange. We went into the store to take pictures. I was like papparazzi or a stalker or something haha but it was fun!
