A few weeks ago (I think it was about two...) the Young Women in our ward went to the temple in Mesa. Here's a pic of the people who went. There are about 2-3 more young women who weren't able to come. It was really spiritual while we were there! We went to Arby's afterwards (a favorite of all of us!) and that was the REALLY FUN part. 
Afterwards, we had a little picture session in front of the temple. This was the only decent pic of me.... let's just say the wind was blowing A LOT....
Here's a picture of me and my mom outside of the temple.

ANYWAYS!!!!!!!..........
I was looking through our pictures today and found these! They're pictures from Austin's 16th birthday party. During the party me, Julia, and Josh (some of our friends) snuck upstairs and did this to Austin's room. We toilet- papered his room, threw streamers around, put candy and flower pedals on the bed, and hung up signs. It was a ton of fun! Austin knew something was up when we came back downstairs... but we stayed cool. After the party he went and looked at his room, and I thought it was just hilarious!!!! Heee, heee!!!
This is Austin and mom at the Resturant by the Gaslight Theatre called.... ugh, I just forgot. Oh, well.

This past Saturday, I spent the day babysitting my brothers while my parents went to the temple. Or course Austin was there, but it was kind of like I was babysitting him too... Ha! This is Ryan eating some grapes. I asked the three boys to pose... and this is all they gave me. Oh well, it will have to do.
As some of you know, my dad has gotten his own motorcycle. I think it's hilarious when I tell people he got one and then they say, "Oh. Well, don't worry. It's probably just one of those mid-life crisis things..." Ha! Ha! Isn't that funny? Why can't a grown man own a motorcycle? Who knows what's going through their minds.
While babysitting, the boys wanted to do a race... okay, I didn't participate. BUT I did act as the ref. They were JUST FINE with that! Here's Reid in the lead at the very beginning.
Reid's showing off his... well, what used to be... grapes. He ate the last one before I could take his picture. The little stinker!
Oh! And last, but not least, here's Chase.... swallowing a grape....

Nothing new has really happened at school. I'm still adjusting to each teacher, but everything's fine. One thing that surprised me was when I was in World History today and my teacher asked for another copy of my research essay. I asked if something was wrong.... and she said that her dog got it and tore it up! Talk about a "dog eating your homework"!!! Now I have to print off another copy. Oh well, it's only life.
