Fun stuff :D

I had felt like I had done a lot of stuff so far this month, but then when I went to put the pictures on here for all you lovely and amazing people, that feeling diminished. Ever happened to you? Maybe I just need to take more pictures haha. I guess you don't realize how much (or how little) you do until you go to blog about it. 

Anyways!! Earlier this month I hiked Saddle Mountain with my Mom and sister Hope. It was a lot of fun and definitely a workout! This hike is uphill practically the whole way so yeah, I was just a little tired when we finally got to the top ;) When I went to my sister's house last week, we decided that we need to go on a lot of hikes so that we can get me in shape for Trek (Pioneer Trek) this summer and break in my hiking boots that I have to wear on Trek.. 
All of us almost to the top
Last Saturday there was a Stake Dance in Beaverton so a couple of my friends came over and we got ready together! It was a ton of fun! This was my first dance and the theme was "Hawaiian".. Nobody dressed up Hawaiian or anything but the whole gym was decorated with flowers and grass skirts ect. 


Me and my friend Tess! We were trying to jump together but we couldn't
get it right so I of course am laughing :) 

From left to right: Alyssa (she came to my house to get ready too!) Rachel, Olivia and me :)
yes i know we're in the bathroom but it was the only
place light enough haha
More nails...
I tried zebra nails again... haha these were the one's i had JUST finished after my last
blog

Stripes with splatter paint! 
I never know how to end my blog posts! I have always had problems with endings! In essay's concluding paragraphs are the hardest for me!!! Maybe I'm just weird... ? lol Food for thought ;)

Update! :)

Soooooooo i of course did my nails quite a bit and i must say i am quite proud of myself!! I tried some new things out and had lots of fun with it!! For mutual this week the Mia Maids got to do manicures and it was super fun!!! i did my friend Rachel and Alyssa's nails! That was a new experience too, i hardly ever do anyone else's nails!! i think i did alright tho ;)
i call this my curly-cue-thingy nails ;) i used a paint pen for the curly-cue
on my nails and it was SOOO much easier than trying to use a little
brush!

paper airplane nails!!!! the little flight path was harder to do than i thought..
lol

a close up of the paper plane :)


my abstract nails!! i used tape to get the squiggly line, and i was
having problems cutting the tape so they are all totally different..
oh well!! i still think they turned out cool ;)
We had a BEAUTIFUL weekend a couple weeks ago, so on Sunday, Hope still had to top off her Jeep Wrangler so she took me to Seaside! :D It was super fun and the water felt aMaZiNg!! :)
Walking to the water :)


Hope being a lame-o and not getting in the water (she's in the pink shirt)

in the water!!!!! since it was so hot, the water didn't feel as cold :)

waves!! i wanted to go out further but i hate wearing wet jeans
so i decided to just go to my knees.

My funny looking burn that i got on my arm from the tulip festival! lol i had
my jacket sleeve pulled up half way up my forearm.. oh and i had a hair tie on
my wrist so i have TWO funny lines hahaha :)
I have been doing this bun a lot lately! you just pull your hair up into a
high ponytail and then twist your hair around the pony tail and secure
with bobby pins! :) i <3 it!
You are now up to date on my life ;) OH! and i literally JUST finished doing my nails again so i'll have to post pics soon!
