Camping











This night was so hilarious I can't even tell you. My friends and I decided to go on this camping trip just for the night at the local campground. First we stopped at the homecoming football game to watch our friends from high school who were on homecoming court, then we had to speed over to the campsite because we realized they shut the gate at 10 pm. It was 9:40. Colin and I had to reach through the back window and hold on to the sleeping bags that were flying out of the back truck bed. Then one of the bags was slipping out so I held onto Colin's legs while he crawled out the back window of the moving truck to grab it and pull it in. We got to the campground on time and we set up the tent. Then Ethan, Colin, Pilar, and I went to go get food while Nate and Tyler tried to get the fire going. We picked up some Jack In the Box and drove back to the campsite to find that the gate had been locked and there were spikes on the exit. We thought about maybe pushing the spikes down and driving over them, but came to the conclusion that it would result in a broken foot and popped tires. Then Pilar made a discovery that we could go into the lower parking lot, drive up onto the sidewalk right next to the cliff that went down to the lake and drive up the grass hill past the bathrooms to get back to the street on the other side of the gate. We mobbed it. We all were laughing so hard after we did that! After talking around the campfire, we all slowly went to bed and Tyler couldn't find his pillow anywhere. Then the raccoons attacked. They were trying to get into the tent by pushing their nose through the tiny opening where the two zippers met. Ethan literally punched the raccoon from inside the tent. It growled and ran off. We looked through the mesh windows and saw six of them running from our campsite. They came back of course and the battle went on kept me and Colin up the whole night. I'm sure Tyler didn't sleep too well either because of his missing pillow. The next morning we packed up and still couldn't find the pillow, but we found out we had put our tent over a yellow jacket nest. The bees were so pissed at us. That made everything a whole lot more difficult. On the way back we were all talking and laughing about the night and we saw something in the middle of the street. I was going to make a joke and say "Hey look Tyler its your pillow" but when we got close enough to see it Nate yelled "Tyler its your pillow!" It had fallen out of the truck before we even made it to the football game. And that was my camping adventure.

Wake Up





Another post of my daughter. I haven't done much this past week and I had nothing to take pictures of. I swear I'll have some different photos very soon. Anyway, I woke up and Kylie was just sitting on my lap waiting for me to wake up. I didn't even notice she was tapping on my stomach to wake me. Exhaustion isn't even the word that describes how tired I am. The last picture was an attempt to get a picture of her with a purple bow in her hair. She decided she didn't want it there. And please notice the size of her ears. I have to admit she got them from me.That was my morning.

The Love of My Life


 First Born

4 Days old

3 Months old

6 Months old



10 months old

1 year 


This post is a bit personal, but I thought I would share with you all my beautiful daughter. This is Kylie. She's 1 and a half now. Time flew by so fast. All mothers say that but its so true. At times I miss my little baby, but the age she is at now is so fun! I try and take her to the park every other day. Her favorite thing to do is go on the swings. The days in between, I get her to practice some sort of art. She loves finger painting and coloring. Her favorite toy is our cat. Yes, a real cat. She drags the poor thing around the house. The cat loves her too though. Kylie loves everyone she meets. She's shy at first and gets quiet around people she doesn't know, but once you are around her a bit you'll get to know that she is anything but shy. Her favorite game to play with me is "horsey". Im sure you all know that one. She climbs on my back and I crawl around and neigh like a horse. Oh the things you do when you're a mother.. Anyway.. theres a little peak into my life. Hope you enjoyed <3

Yes



Me, Mikaela, Kayla






This is the rest of the post. Yay. haha. I decided not to put up the pictures of us in the fast food restaurant, In-n-Out to be exact. Best burgers on the West Coast. The photos didn't really fit in with the rest of them and we looked really dumb. Even dumber than we look in the pictures above. If you can imagine that.

Mr. Snuffles









This poor cat probably didn't want to be bothered by us, let alone be blinded by my flash, but Kayla insisted on making friends with this creature. I'll make another post tomorrow with the rest of our exciting night involving fast food, fake laughter, and leopard print wedges.

Carnival











I put this picture of Ethan and Sarah up because of that creepy ghost person next to them.


Once a year, the Catholic church down the street always has a carnival. Waiting in line was half the fun. Ethan and I talked and enjoyed having a break from homework (I tutor him in math). My sister Sarah was already there so she came and said hi and then went off with her friends, but only after I took multiple photos of her. She's used to always being photographed. I think Ethan is getting used to it as well. Its a good thing, otherwise I can imagine me being extremely annoying.
Well, I kinda like the feel of the photographs I took, but they aren't exactly how I want them. I have yet to get CS5. Im dying. So, they will have to do for now.
