BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

You'd better brush your teeth regularly, or you might have to be BRAVE like my adorable (minus the rotten teeth) little sister! She had to get 4 teeth pulled.... OUCH! For two days she could only eat things like apple sauce, mashed potatoes, and ice cream. Ice cream is one of the ULTIMATE foods, but I would suggest finding an alternate excuse to eat it.

Tennesee

We went to Tennesee for a week to visit my mom's family. It was a blast! I got to spend time with my grandpa and grandma, a couple of uncles and aunts, and some cousins. We got to go out on my Uncle's boat! We went tubing and wakeboarding and had lots of fun. On the 4th of July we were able to set off (somewhat) real fireworks too! We loved waking up in the mornings and going out to G&G's garden in our pj's to harvest what had grown overnight. Tomatos and squash out our ears! There is park in their town that is SO cool. We had a memorable time with our cousins there. I'm so excited to visit again!

Pink Feet!

My sister just got some super cute gray and flourescent pink mesh converse for summer. Unfortunately, the insoles dyed her feet pink! It was hillarious!

Fathers Day

This year for fathers day we gave my dad some grilling tools and made him burgers and fries- dessert style. The burger is made by cutting a vanilla cupcake in half, putting a circle cut chocolate cupcake between, and decorating the edge of the brownie with red, yellow, and green icing. The fries are made from sugar cookies. They turned out sooooo cute and my dad loved it! I love you, Dad. You're the BEST!

Girls Camp

My second year of Girls Camp is only a month away and I can't WAIT!!! I loved hanging out with my friends and staying up till midnight (or later), all of the devotionals, and testimony meeting. I also loved pulling pranks on the miamaids (they better watch out this year), and when they put the dead fish in our cabin ;) I just can't wait for another year of girls camp! Here are some pictures that will bring back all of the great memories from last year.

Cubs Game

On Tuesday I went with my family and some of my dads co-workers to a Cubs game.  It was so fun and they won 5-4! One of my dads co-workers bought us some funny Cubs hats, and he made sure to get John Alec (the son of one of my dads other co-workers) a pink one!

Parents- Gotta Love 'Em!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I am so grateful for my parents and all that they do for me, and I am so happy that we have Mother's Day and Father's Day to celebrate them! When I was little I asked my mom why there was a special day for moms and dads, but not one for kids. She answered with a laugh and said, "Sydney, everyday is Kid's Day!" I was confused then, but now I understand. My parents never stop serving us. Whether it's by making us dinner, driving us to our sporting events, listening and giving advice, or teaching us important principles and always doing their best to set a great example. Love ya mom and dad!
