Ok...:)

I'm attempting to finish my earlier post... We'll see how this goes... Unfortunately, I have no access to my pictures, so this will be slightly lame.
6. Cleveland Days- Was AmAzInG, as always! The fireworks seem to be getting better every time! My purchases from Forbidden Fruit are the same way. Cleveland Days had many nice tributes to Darrell Gardner. One of my favorite things I saw was JR Nelson riding an electric scooter in the parade :)
7. Rachel!- Of course she came to Cleveland! It's a tradition! We even ate frozen yogurt. But this year Kaili and I visited Vernal too. We swam at the rec center (where Nikki was working), and ate some frozen custard. Yum! We also played Wii and did some intense karate moves :)
8. KIRSA COMING HOME!!!! - What can I say? This was the highlight of my summer! We've had fun talking, and I think Kirsa enjoys knowing too many languages, because she leaves me quite confused way too often:)
9. Moving into the apartment- The big official move was on august 17th. The apartment looks good, and i've had some adventures there so far... like the washer not draining after a load, so I got to pull water-logged clothing out of the washer... they took FOREVER to dry! And mowing the lawn gave me some lovely blisters on my thumbs, but they've pretty much healed. And then Carly and Maquel came over to play some N64. Pretty much uberly epic. Mario Party is still way fun to me :)
10. LSH- Late Summer Honors- My lovely one credit, week-long honors class. I took an illustrating journal class. It totally changed my opinion about journaling. It can be quite fun! My homework consisted of sketching (Kirsa was very helpful) and painting with watercolors. oh yeah. I hope I can keep in contact with my LSH friends for a long time :)

YAY!!! I finished! Now I will have to blog about college... later... :)

OoPs...

Well, I think we can all tell that I did an incredibly awful job of updating my blog for the summer, so I will just write about ten significant events of the summer (These will be in a random order)

1. Getting together with a bunch of friends before we all started to leave to live the rest of our lives. This was my first official desert bonfire. it involved a lot of off-roading, and literally uprooting a dead tree to fuel the fire. It was the most enormous bonfire I have ever witnessed. No one could stand within 20 feet of it (at least). To put things into perspective, here is a lovely picture of Lethi by the fire:

Nifty, huh? :) We also did a lot of dancing. I realized I remember so little from Darrell's classes.

2. Frozen Yogurt! My dad ordered a soft-serve ice cream maker online, and it's wonderful. We've made a few batches over the course of summer. Here are some pictures:

The lovely machine...

My cone of deliciousness :)

And Kaili's delight!

3. Bunnies! Many litters were born over the summer, and they all are quite adorable.

Here's a family picture :)

And this little guy is Mister JJ. He competed in junior stock show, and won best pet buck and overall pet. The judge was convinced that he was a purebred. I find it funny that what I jokingly called deformities (because he doesn't look like his parents that much) would make him such a prize-winning bunny.

4. The 4th of July! well, it didn't seem that significant, actually, but I made cool cupcakes for the break the fast in the singles branch. They were from scratch and an extreme pain. I accidentally left out a ton of the called butter, but it made them like angel food cake, which actually tasted really good. I am not going to be making cupcakes from scratch for a looooonnnnnnnggggggg time.

Ta Da!

5. I seem to be making a habit of this, but this will be the last one for the post. I will make a part two later, but hopefully not too much later. This one is the Miss Cleveland Pageant. Kaili competed in the Princess category and won... yay! Here is an adorable picture of her taken the morning of the pageant.

She is dressed up for the tea, which is where the contestants eat a cute lunch and do an interview with the judges. For some reason, the judges only asked the girls one question. I find this lame, cuz that was not the case for me... oh well.
