4th of July fun year 1!

Happy Birthday America!!!

It was really nice that I didn't have to work on the 4th or the 5th.  I enjoyed that break from work.  But then going back to work was kind of brutal after all the fun that I had.

On the 4th, we went the annual 4th of July breakfast for the ward.  After that, we went up to my aunt's house and had a party.  We ate and then played with water balloons.  It was a real fun time. I also got to met my grandparent's new puppy.  His name is Otto, and super cute!  After playing with water balloons, we went home.  After that, I went with my friend Alex and saw the Magna Fireworks.  They were some pretty great fireworks!!!  I thoroughly enjoyed watching the fireworks and catching up with him.

Such a cute puppy!!!!!

My awesome balloon!

So pretty

I love fireworks!

On Friday, Andrew invited me to go shooting with him and some of his friends from camp.  It was entertaining.  I shot some shotguns, and my favorite is Grant's gun.  Andrew was proud to call me his sister because I hit like 10 or 15 of the clay pigeons that they threw.  I think I hit more than I missed.  They other guys were pretty impressed too.  We finished shooting, went to lunch, and then went to Grant's house.  I discovered that with that impressive shooting, I got an impressive bruise.  With all the shooting I've done, I've never gotten a bruise until now.  It was quite nasty looking.  Then after that we ate pizza and then one of the guys asked me on a date.  So him and I, and then Andrew and Grant went on a date.  It was interesting.  We wanted to go to the arcade, but there weren't any, so we ended up watching Monster's University.  I really, really liked that movie.  Then after that, I went home.  When I got home, there was a letter from Missy!  That was soooooo great!  I love getting her letters!

My bruise.  It looked a lot worse than that.

The shot guns!

Then on Saturday, I finished making a skirt, and went shopping for my mom's birthday.  After that, I went to Despicable Me 2 with Marci.  It was a grand ol' time.  Oh Marci, you never disappoint me.  We enjoyed a great movie, and a lot of catching up.  It was real good.

My skirt!

Oh Marci!  Such a great outfit.

Then on Sunday, my cousin was blessed, so we went down to that.  My dear cousins, Alyssa, and Stormie and I have lots of fun when we get together.  Alyssa and I usually take pictures of us, and Stormie just watch us, and thinks we are crazy.  It's great fun.

We are real cool

And take real good pictures.

She wouldn't let us take her picture, but she didn't know that we got this gem!

I really liked my hair today.

Then I had to go back to work.  Boo work.  Haha, not really.  I would be real bored without it.
