the life!

Top Ten Reasons why i haven't blogged in years, and my crazy life!:

10. I have completely lost my taste for homework, period.

9. I have something at least every single night after school except thursdays. And i still don't manage to get much done then!

8. I'm getting used to seminary! And, it's fun!

7. I can't wait for November. Swim Team!!

6. My english teacher gives us LOTS of homework, and he speaks in a monotone 24/7 so its pretty much impossible to actually understand what he's saying.

5. I miss Utah, like crazy.

4. There are no dang mountians here.

3. I wish i was going to Utah for General Conference.

2. I'm actually swimming again! Yay! I haven't swam since my summer team, almost three months! But im getting into shape for the Mustangs. (:

And the number one reason i haven't blogged in a million years,

1. I never really know what to say!

School?

C. Miltons going good.
It's a lot different than Middle school, im not gonna lie. But i like it way better!
The days just seem to go by a lot faster. (Considering we have only four classes per day and they are each about 85 minutes long.)
At Southampton we had like seven or eight classes i think and they were like 40 minutes long. So its a big change.
I take French I. :) Its pretty fun too! I don't think i have any teachers that my siblings have though, which of corse isn't as fun! haha. But my teachers are great.
So in case any of you were wondering, I just got finished six pages of English homework that took me about two hours and three pages of Earth Science which took me about a half hour. ha! And i still managed to finish my homework at 5:15!
Just how do I do it? I'm really not to crazy about my English teacher. (see enormous amount of homework on the SECOND DAY TEACHING US above.)
And I can't wait untill November when swimming season starts!!!
C. Milton's swim team is going to rock this year. :) I can feel it.

by the way, any of you like my new fancy background??????

Update!

My family is amazing.
that's all.

EFY =)

Yes, I just got back from Utah this MORNING. Might i add, 5:00 am. I slept untill 1:30 pm. in case you were wondering. haha.

Anyway, I had a FABULOUS time at EFY. Gosh, it was just so amazing. I can't wait untill next year!

This is all of us. We had the biggest session of the summer and the biggest company of the session! Our company name was Terrified and Affrighted!

Our councelors...Gosh, they were the best! Hillarie, Michael, Heather, Brett, and Michelle. My councelor was Hillarie, the first girl on the left.

All the girls in my group with Hillarie, our councelor. Ahh! I love them all so much, and they're so beautiful! and I miss them like crazy!

The fourth of july was our last day. We had a huge banquet before the big dance. :) Which was fantastic, by the way.

Okay, More random pictures of people and us!

Our service project was knitting hats. So we took a group picture. haha.

Ahh! I just love it all!!! :)

So after EFY i spent a couple of days with Chris Tiff Brielle and Dean. Which was amazing! They're awesome. I love you guys!

Girls Camp 08!

Ah, yes. The huge tree trunk in the middle of the cabin. Seriously, tree growing through the middle. CRAZY! :)

Blackbird girls. All the kids in our cabin except me. (I was taking the picture.)

Our cabin...Its name is Blackbird. Its even awesomer from the inside. :)

The 2 hour car ride wasn't so bad. We watched Meet the Robinsons the way there. This is the back seat. Ciara, me and Gracie.

Sorry, the pictures are a bit out of order. My blog pictures weren't cooperating very good for me.

I have more. I'lll post them later.

Oh D-d-d-dear!

Tiffany brought Max and Oliver over for a bit this afternoon. I was in the family room when mom started chuckling in the kitchen.

"Amanda, you have to see this."

I walked over, and this is what I found:

Don't even ask me HOW he managed to do that. But it was pretty stuck!

"and we just couldn't help but laugh"

Gather everyone up and watch!

Here's a great idea for next family home evening!
A good old song memorizing night!



Isn't that great?!
