Happy Birthday Lucianna!

Yesterday was Lucianna's birthday , and she turned 1! She was super cute eating her cake....   :P

My VERY first wedding!

I think any photographer gets excited about doing their very first wedding, and I got that chance today! I even did the " brides" makeup and hair, and it was AWESOME although the bride went crazy an took the flower girls flowers and threw them everywhere, making the flower girl cry. :( Now, you are probably thinking " What in the name of might? " but it is actually kind of funny...here are the pictures...

I like this picture best. :)

Camp Hamilton !!!!!!!

Hey, I just got back from camp, it was SOOOOOOOO much fun!!!!!! I had a BLAST and met some really awesome girls that are super nice and a joy to be around, while I also was thrilled with hanging out with one of my good friends Jessie!!! Some of the things we did were: Kayaking,riding in canoes, sail-boating, swimming in the 80 acre lake, going hiking to the top of Mt. Store, earning beads on my eagle including the St. Francis Cabrini bead, Sunrise bead, Flower bead, and Green -berry Bead, Going on the overnight and digging the h.i.f.f.y. a.k.a. hole in forest for you, waking up at 5 to watch the sunrise over the cascade mountains- it was SO pretty!!!- , sleeping on the beach, going to campfire every night and acting crazy singing, dancing, and chanting cabin cheers, hanging out with my Klickitat buddies ( The camp is organized by 5 groups, Klickitat, Washougal, Klamouth, Palouse, and Tatonka, which all except for Tatonka have about 3 cabins with 10 campers in each cabin, and Tatonka was older kids ) , roasting marshmallows, doing a reading at mass, going to mass twice this week, going to reconciliation, going to adoration, and doing the challenge course, where all of the girls in my cabin had to get in order of birthday without speaking, and getting numbers 1-10 and memorizing them but not telling anyone, and not talking OR seeing, which we both completed successfully! I also did medium ropes, which is also called TNT =, kind of like an obstacle course, but going UP into the trees, climbing ropes, going through tires, walking up ledges, and getting onto a square thing at the top, which I finished in an actually short amount of time, tie dying shirts, and laughing and being silly, and a TRILLION more things! I had the most fun EVER, even though I had a slight cold. Oh and I also made a collage and did painting, and made a rosary! Here are a bunch of pictures, and this time I kinda have to make an exception because it would just be cruel to not show you them all, almost a sin!

Tuesday Tip

Here is today's blogging tip :

When you blog, don't put boring things up that will make people yawn and not want to read your blog anymore, put things that will out them into suspense, or really cool pictures that will keep them coming back. You can also post stories, so that they will want to read the next chapter, or anything else that isn't something that people will say " Come on, I want something better " to. Good Luck!

St. Therese Tuesday

"The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily
do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm.
If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."
St. Therese of Lisieux

Do We Have a Mozart?

Lucianna has taking on playing...or slamming her fingers on ...the piano! It is really cute and she laughs the whole time, and LOVES the attention that we give her. : P She will just be sitting on the piano bench and play her heart out! Haha it is really loud though . . . :)

She is SO cute!!!!!

Mindless Monday

Well, right now I am at camp, probably in the midst of playing a game, or doing an activity, and wearing some out-doorsy clothes, and having a WONDERFUL time! Can't wait to write an OFFICIAL mindless monday next week!

Weekend Getaway

For my parents anniversary, they went out from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, and they went to Portland! I assume they had a very nice time, and they got us a million books from this cool bookstore down there. They got me The Story of a Soul, ( the life of St. Therese ) which I have been wanted for a while, and a book on Saint Margret Mary, and the Mother Daughter Book Club series, which I was most excited about! I have read the whole series, but I still like having the books so I am re-reading them so I am up-to date with the book coming out in October, called " Home for the Holidays " which I am extremely excited for. While they were gone, I also received a book in the mail from Amazon called " Olivia's Gift" which is the second book in the " Olivia " series.  They are VERY good books, and I highly recommend them for girls over the age of 9. I also puled Arianna's tooth out, which she has been wanted out for a LONG time. And one of the babysitters, Claire, went out and bought Arianna some candy while she was sleeping to put under her pillow, which was VERY nice of her. We had a lot of fun, but for now I would like my parents to stay home! :)

Camp Hamilton

This week I am going to be visiting Camp Hamilton with one of my friends, Jessie. We are leaving Monday morning and will not return until Saturday morning, so I will #1- be taking lots of pictures ( my camera has a very long battery life ) and #2- scheduling a bunch of posts for the rest of the week so you can keep on visiting my blog every day! Hahaha. The camp I am going to is called " Adventure camp" with all of the traditional camp activities like campfires, swimming, archery, canoeing, and TONS of other fun things. I am super excited, and have my bags packed and ready to go, so wish me luck that I have a great time!

Thnx for reading,

Mariners Game!

Last night me, Anne Marie all the way down to John Luke, my dad, and Katie  went to a Mariners game to help support Gloria's Angels! The Red Sox won- woo hoo! And it was really fun. There were some people to the stands next to us who were either REALLY big baseball fans or a little more than tipsy . . . but it was really cool because they started a wave over the ENTIRE stadium, and EVERYONE did it, even this guy who was all alone way up high...hahaha.
