san diego trip

we went to the san deigo zoo and i got to see the polar bears! :) they were playing with big balls and eating carrots.
it was so fun, they were my favorite!!! we also saw panda bears, elaphants, a baby gorilla, baby giraffe, and baby elephant. oh and the kolas were cool too,
then we went to an overdue trip to the beach, i boogie boarded the whole time, while every one else just hung out on land and came in every now and then though my sister charlotte, cody, and mckenna rented a kayak (oops can't spell) haha and charlotte and cody saw dolphins, apparently they weren't that far from where i was, that made me mad haha, you wouldn't believe how burnt i am!! i look so red and it hurts to sit! because i got burnt wear my swimsuit ends! and the thing that sucks about it is that i had so much sunscreeen on! oh well hopefully my wiked burn will turn into a wiked tan.... on only my back!!! haha.
then we went to old town and had a fiesta! (we ate tons of food) and then sunday we went to seaport village (have you been there?) it was great we looked around shops and then went to anthony's for fish and chips YUMMY then we headed home and i slept pratically the whole time, i had the whole back row to myself :) and now i'm home. overall it was a pleasant trup and i'm glad i got to spend some close bonding time with my family.

fourth of july

so for te fourth of july we had a breakfast/ swim party, my mom invited people from the ward and we ate lots of yummy food, went swimming and all that, till about 2:30 after that we went inside i ate some more and at 4 took a nap, after my nap we ate yummy burgers courtesy of charlotte and watermelon, corn on the cob, fries, the works! after dinner, what else but chocolate cake! wahoo! and then guess what...my mom bought fire works, really only two and they were more like giant sparkelers but they were cool, cody set them off at the park, when we finished our illegal business, we went into the backyard fro sparkelers. i kept getting really lame one, im not going to lie i was getting upset, haha. until i lit one and bam it was like harry potter's wand sparking out stars! ha! it was awesome. after all our mischief we went inside and just chilled, i ate more cake, and watched a movie and then later i got a smoothie thanks to charlotte who made us all one, well us older kids anyways! YUMMY!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY~!!!!!

!16!

i have finally made it to the prime age! 16~! and though im scared too death to get any older than this. im excited to be 16. on my birthday, it was only Cody and i at home, every1 else decided to go to Ok. ( i dnt know how to spell it, haha). so Cody was totally sweet, the day before he took me on all my errands including getting a 44oz. sonic strawberry limeade! YUM! i got all the supplies i would need for my big date! (which im getting to, hold on!) :) i even got some lipgloss, haha. i was almost so ashamed of how girly i was that day, it drove me insane! so it was the actual day of my b-day, i decided i wanted to watch the sunrise, and read my scriptures. when i got up on the ponywall cody left a note that read, Happy birthday Em, love Cody, isn;t that sweet, (he also cleaned up the house for me :)) i wanted to make sure i was in tune with the spirit that day. and plus i haven't ever really watched the sunrise, and why not then! it was an amazing experience and i'll never forget it! after my sunrise experience i went back to bed, there was no way i was going to stay up that early, i snuggled back into bed with Haggis! haha. i had planned on waking up at 9ish becasue Cody was going to take me to a movie and i wanted plenty of time to get ready for my big date! i know i was such a girl! so i took a shower for the day, and waited for my hair to dry, i wanted to test the rollers in my hair for the second time, epic fail! unfourtunatley my hair was too thick, and i didn't have enough rollers so the back looked really funny. i did a bit of make up, just so i didn't look like a Banchee, and charlotte and cody took me to Village Inne ( i got to drive :) ) for some breakfast for lunch! YUMMY i had the best pancakes ever. an enjoyed my older siblings company, which i don't get as often as the younglings!

i got home, to put my hair into to ponytails, becasue my hair looked really wierd, and helped Charlotte move her new rug. (this was an eventful day) got to see my pal, Charlotte's roomate steph and charlotte let me borrow her super hot top, and necklace. steph said it made me look like i was on the prowl! haha.

when i finally got home for good (not including my date). i took care of buisiness, unfortuanatley my friends decided we couldn't go ice blocking, so they were all trying to contact me. i checked the messages anf to my delight Katie Coon And Kourtni left me a happy birthday message :) i called back the people i needed too including Caden (my date) to get teh download on what was happening tonight, they decided on peter piper pizza and a movie at Kaylie's.

i turned on my curling iron that steph let me borrow, and laid out my clothes for my big event, my first date! :) with my best friend Caden Carpenter! when the phine rang again. it was sis porter, she wanted to know if she could come over real quick. so while i waited i took off my make up to put the new make up i bought on, and the there was a knock on the door, and guess what she had a whopper for me, haha it was my b-day cake suprise, everyone know i love BK Whoppers! they are the best, well w/o onnions (yuck) and even better w/cheese. but anyway we chatted and when she left i stareted to curl my hair, i thought it was going to take foreever but it only took like 30 min. to my utter horror though, i looked like an eighties girl! after i painted my face (haha) i didn't look to bad, infact i thought i looked pretty smokin. i put on my clothes and sat on the couch waiting for my date to pick me up. and waited. and waited. the deal was 7 but he came a 730. but never fear it was becasue he is pratically the only one who can drive in our group so he was picking every one up and their dates! what a gentleman! haha.

we got into the car and drove to our destination, Caden wouldn't let me buy anything!!! at all! the best part of my dat though would have to be that i was with all my friends :) thaks guys. though we were missing a very important person, KATIE T and KATIE COON, :( but we did have fun. after we ate and decided that we were done a ppp we went to kaylie's and Kaitlyn and KAylie gave me my present, 16 things! haha. i got straws too! :D and Preston gave me movie tickets (Thanks guys!!) after we watched Taken which was awesome but also really sad, caden drove everyone home!

when it was just Preston, Caden and me, it was my turn to be walked to the door. can i just say something...it doesn't matter who your with, even your best friend, that moment isnt just terrifying, but also so nerve racking, he opened the door for me to fast for me to do it for myself and helped grab all my stuff. walked me to the proch which i might add was dark! i know right! so i thanked him for my wonderful date, and he leaned in a gave me a nice hug! What did you think we were going to kiss! NO WAY! especially not on the first date, plus my lips are special and they will wait for the perfect...sorry i forget no one really cares about that. haha. so i went inside steph cody and charlotte wer in their eating doughnuts and asked me how it went, i told them my spoils got into basketball shorts and a tee and came back down to chat. at twelve, my birthday was over and i went to bed, i was exhausted!

sunday i must mention, Charlotte made me dinner, Quesidillahs! haha and for dessert Carmel Brownies! :) YUMMMY!
thankyou everyone you made my birthday remberable! :D i can't believe i'm this blessed to have you all!

love em!

princesses!

alright! so i thought i had gotten everyone, but i have (sadly) forgotten a very important memeber of our crew, Kourtni, (please correct if i spelt that wrong) is very clever girl, she sings her way out of "messy," situations. she is friend to all, even vermin! and has a very clear way of showing off her own personal style! because of all these reasons, Kourtni has to be Giselle from Enchanted.
sorry i forgot Kourtni!

i now expect everyone to put a video about their princess on thier blog! haha

disney princesses

okay, so i was just cruising you tube and stumbled upon disney princesses, and i thought to myself, omgosh! we are so much like the disney princesses, a few i knew right away, others were a little tricky to place. i'm going to explain each one! ready?
Cinderella is...katie coon. katie is cinderella becasue she makes the best out of every situation, and always where's the most beautiful ball at the gown that she has to have little mice making her clothes!
Belle is....kaitlyn, the brain! also belle is so forward,idependent, and isn't afraid to date a beast. sorry had to be added in! haha. she's beautiful and smart, and is always reading ahead.
Jasmine is.... Kaylie, kaylie was the toughest to place i wanted esmarelda but she wasn't really a princess, so i went with jasmine becasue she's sarcastic and independent like kaylie.
Aurora is....Katie toolson. because she has three little fairy boys (alex, joey, and nick.) always following her trail. also becuase she doesn't care what she's doing as long as she is doing something, even sleeping. i almost did snow white becasue she has seven little men, but snow white seemed to fruity for katie.
Snow white is...aubrey. since i don't know her, i just had to guess! sorry. but i bet she is the most beautiful in all the land!
Ariel is... me! wahoo! i'm arial becasue the most obvious point, im a swimmer! also becasue i'm so determined for romance and prince eric is my favorite. and even though i have had legs all my life im a cluts! lastly because i can make anything akward like arial!
