This summer i was lucky enough to spend some time up in utah with my family. It was great seeing my grandparents and all my aunts, uncles and cousins that i dont get to see very often. These are just a few pictures of the things i did while up there. Some fireworks, crazy pictures with McKinley, And the Family Reunion!! Thanks, everyone, for letting me stay with you, i had a great time!:)

GiRlS CaMp!!!!!:)

Yaaaaay!!!!:) i got home from girls camp today, and i'm wiped out. I haven't slept in three days, and i didn't take a shower either, but that was the first thing i took care of:)But we had sooooo much fun. staying up all night and eating so much sugar that it'll take MONTHS to get all out of my system. Unfortunately, my camera was dropped in the creek and RUINED FOREVER!!!!!:( So these are the pictures i salvaged before the accident:( But All in all, we had an amazing time:)

Flagstaff trips!!!:)

A while ago, i think it was May 1st, our orchestra and choir went on a trip to flagstaff for a competition. Seeing as i am in both Choir AND Orchestra, i Went 2 days in a row. It was sooo much fun!!! For choir, our three different ensembles took the first 3 spots in the STATE! so that was pretty cool. Then the next day, we went and did the whole thing over again, but with different people:) We played at NAU and the auditorium is AMAZING every note we played sounded so loud and beautiful, i loved it. At the ABODA orchestra state Junior high festivals, the highst rating you vcan get is a 1, the lowest being a 5. We performed very well and our clinitians gave us 1+ and a 1++!!! YAAAAY!!!!:) So these are some pictures of my crazy friends...

Okay, so i got it to work, FINALLY!!!!! This is my 8th grade promotion ceremony thing, it was pretty awesome!!! All except the fact that it rained on us... but that's okay:) Then After promotion, me and about 10 freinds got in a HUMMER LIMO and drove down to this really cute breakfast place called Mimi's Cafe. It was soooo good!!!! they have the most amazing blueberry muffins on the planet!!! then we drove home and had a pool party at my friend Lauren's house. so all in all, it was an AMAZING last day of school:)

OH NO!!

for some reason, my posts haven't been going through, and i can't figure out why... i'll try to figure it out soon, so you can see everything you've missed. there's alot!!! i'm working on it(:

Courtney's Visit to the Hospital

for me, This New Years day was spent in the hospital. Don't i look just so so so excited??? 9 hours of my day was spent in the ER doing tests. Anything from blood tests to ultra sounds to CT scans. After all these shenanegans, we finally found out what was wrong. They told me i have a 4cm Ovarian Syst (sist? who knows... ) i'm doing alot better now that i'm not in as much pain. and anyone who knows me knows how rolly and deep my veins are so blood tests really aren't my thing. 2 different doctors and 3 needles later, they finally got the one simple tube of blood they needed. i was pretty much traumatized. anyway, just thought i'd tell you about my exciting day! love you all :)

HAHAHA... :)
