October is here, ftt rear!

So did i ever tell you how much i love this time of year?
Its the time when the leaves start changing, harvest is almost complete and best of all.....
General Conference!

If you haven't been watching, listening or any mode of technology...
You are missing out!
Seriously...

Well I can't believe it is october folks can you believe it?
Its the month of all things spooky {honestly not my fav}
But its fun to have a reason to celebrate and shtuff.
Why i love Halloween, is cuz it just so happens to be the start of the holiday season folks!
And because I am a big fan of dressing up!

Well I will try to post more!
But until then enjoy the heat and sunshine while you can!

Konichiwa!

Looky looky!

I learned how to write my name in Japanese today!

Our exchanged student Marina Ono is on our cheer team,

And today we made signs!

The first one means "Fight!"

I bet you wish you knew how to write your name in japanese...

Wrappin it up.

To wrap up my summer I decided to take a little vacay down to Utah.

I rode down with my brother-in-law Jordan and he was so proud because I didn't plug my headphones into my ears once! It really was an eventful drive we jammed to the oldies and we made pretty good time!Although we made Ashley believe we were running way late! Teehee:) We're so sneaky Jordan even fooled me!

Anways down in Utah we expeienced some amazing things such as J-Dawgs, 7 peaks {yes i mastered my fear and went down the three biggest slides}, Awful Waffle, I toured UVU and BYU's campuses {thanks to my seesters}, Paradise Bakery, and I went with Ashley to her back to school night! That week was a blast and a half! I didn't want to leave! The weather was lovely, and we just had a party the whole time, its rough stepping back into the real world

{while sitting in Ashley's desk at back to school night I sat reading Calvin and Hobbs and using up almost an entire pad of post its writing her notes}

{After 7 peaks}

Mami went all gangsta on me!

No no..

i know what you are all thinking,

she is wearing punk clothes, listening to hard rock, and spiking her hair.

you.are.wrong.

she's not like that.

What i mean is she turned to this book

To make us a truly cultured dinner tonight!

Woop! Also she can make homemade tortillas!

A proud daughter I am(:

Mom we've had a fun day!

Gracious por la cena madre!

Lessons Learned...

This past year I have learned a lot, I have lost four really great friends of mine,
three of those four rodeoed with me, and in rodeo...we're a pretty tight knit little family.
But the death that started it was Brody Newman, I had my drivers ed class with him,
he was a year younger then me...he died in a 4-wheeler accident checking pivots for his dad.
I couldn't believe it, i have never felt my heart actually ache until i came home and heard this.
About three weeks later, Mabry Neville and Loren Johnson were in a car accident about a mile
away from the junction they were on their way home from Rexburg and lost control of the car.
They were cousins and you never saw one with out the other.
They were like my sisters this toughened me up when I rode horses with them in 4-h.
They didn't take my crap and they pushed me and helped me over come my fears.
I love those girls, and I have missed their smiles, positive attitudes and never quit attitudes.
This past tuesday another District 1 rodeo member died in a car crash.
Marissa Bebe go here to read her story.
My first year in rodeo we were head to head to win all around girls rookie of the year.
I wasn't the nicest because she was competition and i was getting my head in the game.
I was determined to win that buckle.
I eneded up winning by just a couple points, it was really close.
This next rodeo season all she was, was nice to me.
She came right up to me with a smile on her face and said i think you beat me in for rookie last year! Good job!
Then and there i realized what a terd i was.
After that we became good friends she told me about her life, she needed someone to talk to because it wasn't the easiest.
We talked about our events and what our plans were.
She was going to move to Boise to play hockey, it was her passion.
She made it to state in rodeo this year in Barrels and Poles, Her first hear at state, She was very excited and proud of herself as anyone should be!



I guess what I'm saying is, be everyones friend, even in competition be nice don't get too into yourself and competitive and NEVER judge someone, you have no idea what they are going through, even if they come off a little harsh or strange because a life can end in a second, and it hurts and no matter how many times I go through it I am just glad i have the comfort of the gospel to make these situations bareable.


I love you Brody, Mabry, Loren , and Marissa.

I had the BIGGEST cheering section!

(Running in Leadore)

Yep my family loves me!
Thank you all for coming!







Well it is the IHSRA state rodeo this entire week.
I made it to state in barrel racing 2nd place in my district.
I got a pretty little buckle and everything(:




Well on tuesday I had my first run at state and a lot of my relatives came to watch me!
And after I turned third on my run home...
Well lets just say they cheered really loud and...
I.LOVED.IT







I ran 17.8 seconds on the 1st go and 18 flat the 2nd go
Way to go Sonny! (My horse) <3


I have another run tomorrow morning wish me luck and i will keep you posted!




Again thank you so much for coming made my WHOLE week!
I love you all! <3

To End The Silence.

Once and for all..i hope i can get better at this blogging thing!

Well life has been great and busy, i went to Utah for my spring break!

I rode this lovely vehicle.

Yeeeah thats right that's my rig!

And it took about 5 hours to get down to cute little provo ya we took our sweet little time. But you know once I saw my seesters smiling face i cheered right up! I was so jacked to see Hailey, Ashley, and Jordan! We had such a good time! Hailey and I went to a cute little french bakery, it was legit and so cute I loved it. I also went to Mrs. Furness' (aka the best teacher ever my sister Ashley) school :) I loved it! The students gave cute presentations and we had a fun lunch out on the grass with all the other teachers, it was such i nice warm day! Then to celebrate Hailey's birthday we went to Jump On It, they had a foam pit and everything! And a little advice, if you are a guy and you like going places in short shorts, please decide against it and keep situations not awkward for everyone thank you much. The next morning we ended up waking up to snow but i love snow because it sparkles in the sunshine and is so pretty! Too bad it isn't warm when the snow is sticking to the ground. But we were going to conference and so it was a very good day! I loved every talk, i felt the spirit so strong. And I kept thinking about how these words I was hearing were coming straight from the Lord and I gained a stronger testimony that these men really do communicate with Him and that their council is not to limit us, but to protect us and keep us safe because they do love us and care about us all.

{Me & Hailey...Hailey & Me...WE}

Well when spring break ended I was bummed because i had so much fun but it's always refreshing to come home!

Then this passed week I went with my FFA group to Twin Falls! I had the opportunity to judge horses for about 7 1/2 hours. It was a very long time. But so worth it! I had such a fun time. My team got 18th and I got the highest score on my team! I was pretty excited. We did pretty well :) Also on this trip we took a drive up to the beautiful Shoshone falls. And a cute little lake near it.

Well have a lovely weekend.

P.S. Rodeo starts in exactly two weeks!!! Oh my I'm way jacked! Just hope this weather warms up and dries out the ground so I can ride outside.

Back to the grind.

This morning i had a hard time waking up at 7 instead of the 10-10:30 times i woke up during the nice long break we had. I didn't end up getting out of bed until around 7:30 or later..i'm not for sure. I had to toss my hair up in a fabulous little ponytail and run out the door. On my way out i realized i hadn't started my pick up so it was all sorts of frosty. So my wonderful daddio let my drive his little unfrosty number to school and he was so kind to gas mine up and drive it down for me and trade me off(: Thanks Dad!! I owe you one!

School seemed to drag on for me today..and i didn't really like it. i kept thinking of all the better things i could be doing if i was at home. But i got through it..too bad its only monday. Sigh**

I hope you had a good monday..

But look how clear and pretty it is today just out of my window!

2011 here i come.

Every year I make new years resolutions and I never stick to them so this year my resolutions are things that I can actually keep.

• My brother coming home
• Get night license
• Stay in school

These are some of my real goals :)

• Save money better
• Go to state in rodeo
• Get all A's
• Get in shape {i have been wanting to do cross country, but i have felt like i wasn't in shape enough so i kinda want to get in shape before i do that so i don't pass out while running 5 miles.}

Anyways i hope your resolutions go better then my probably will.

Have a wonderful new year!
