2011-12-22T12:28:00.000-08:00

Sister love is precious(:

Me holding the cute little boy!

Awww him in his little super man outift! So cute!

This is the only picture we have of Case Gray Whipple! He is D and Britt's newest addition and I absolutely adore him(: So cute!

Finals

2011-12-16T16:10:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness I hate finals so much! They are seriously so frustrating. I have to go to A hour both Monday and Tuesday to take my math final. I'm really hoping I don't fail it! Luckily I got an A on my ASL exam, the first part anyways. Wish me luck with all of my other finals!!! \:

Club Volleyball

2011-11-20T13:04:00.000-08:00

I don't know why this is being dumb and won't let me upload any pictures! Oh well..

So we had Club Volleyball tryouts yesterday. It was the longest, most exciting, exhausting three hours of my life! We all played really well and hard. I ended up making the 16 2's team, and I have bittersweet feelings about it. It's the lower team, and I'm either the only, or one of two, Sophomores on it. Luckily, I LOVE these girls anyway so it'll be a fun season! I look forward to playing with all of them for Mesa Club! <3

Happy Birthday to...Me?

2011-09-26T20:33:00.000-07:00

Heck yes! Sweet sixteen and never been kissed! This post is mostly for my brother who wanted to see all my presents and such!

Petals

2011-09-25T12:57:00.000-07:00

So my brother Scott doesn't like these rose petals that are falling down periodically on my blog. He says they're distracting! But guess what? I like them lots and they make my blog a whole heck of a lot different than everyone else's! But I love my brother tons :) I think he should make his own blog...Not that he'd have time for one but then he could comment on my blog and things like that.
I also really liked my rose petals while I had the one background with the flower hanging at the top! It made it look like the petals were coming from it! Now I have a fall background and I guess it still works haha. I haven't found anything else like my petals though! Like snow (as Scott said) or rain which would be SUPER cool! If you find anything like that, let me know! :)

Lana's Home!

2011-09-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

We didn't get a picture of her coming down the terminal! My grandma was talking to me so I didn't even SEE Lana until she was almost out of the terminal! Haha.

Finally got my turn to hug my big sister!!

Standing there bawling my eyes out in the background haha.

Crying, Hugging, more Crying!

16 Already??

2011-09-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

My birthday is coming up in one week. But not just any birthday, right? My 16th birthday!!! 16 years of experience on this earth. Crazy, no? I'm not doing the whole big party thing cuz that kind of thing just really stresses me out. And I already have WAY too much other kinds of stress!!! I'm glad I'm not the oldest in my group of friends so that we can go on dates together!! :) Yay for dates...? I think it will be more fun just to go with my best friends than anything. I'm not experienced in the world of dating if you can't tell. Advice? Comments? Questions? Concerns? I feel like I'm advertising something haha. This week is going to be totally stressful but it will be oodles and oodles of fun!
Lana comes home in "3 sleeps!!" as my mom says :) I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably wouldn't get any sleep if it wasn't for my volleyball games this week!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Anyways! Should be a party-ful week if I don't die of exhaustion!!!

...Stress?

2011-09-18T09:15:00.000-07:00

So life is pretty much just one big ball of crazy that keeps on rollin'! I keep trying to stay in front of it but I'm pretty sure it's gonna lap me one of these days!

Volleyball-2 or 3 games a week, getting home late
Church-mutual, church, calling the girls
School-WAY too much homework, especially math and english, staying up all night after volleyball doing it!

Basically stress is my middle name! But hey, I'm a pro now right? NOT! Good thing I have such amazing friends to give me something to do that isn't stressful!

I love volleyball. No denying is whatsoever!!

Peace Love Volleyball

2011-08-27T09:45:00.000-07:00

Volleyball IS my life.

Blog Name

2011-08-07T16:17:00.000-07:00

So none of you probably noticed...BUT I did happen to rename my blog "High School Paraphernalia". There are a couple of reasons: 1. It describes my posts, 2. It describes my life, AND 3. I really, really, really, really like the word paraphernalia (: I just think it is SUCH a cool word! Not a lot of people really even know what it means, and most people can't spell it! That's why is holds a special place in my heart. Just sayin'.

Weight Training...Love It...And I Hate It

2011-06-12T12:19:00.000-07:00

I wake up before 6 am every weekday in order to get to weight training. That lasts for two hours. Then two hours of volleyball. Then one more hour of just Setting for volleyball. Now who do you think is sore?! That's right! ME! Plus on Tuesday, I worked out for 10 WHOLE HOURS. Crazy beans. I love it though because I'm getting buff! And who doesn't love that?! EFY is this week and I will be so out of shape for weight training the following week. I will probably die and I think that might be an issue. Wish me luck!

Stake Girls' Camp!

2011-06-04T10:14:00.000-07:00

Girls' Camp was pretty good this year! I have always personally liked Ward Camp better than Stake, but it was still fun! When we got there we set up our tents and then had to go on a hike! We came to a little creek and went crawdad fishing. I didn't catch any, but that's okay!

I ended up doing SO many girls' hair in cute braids! Go me, I guess.

Our ward theme was "Doing good to all men" so we were super heroes!!!!

At night I would tell scary stories!!! We are crazies :D

Overall, definitely fun! Wish I could've had fun without a sunburn :/

What to post, what to post.

2011-05-22T12:36:00.000-07:00

I never post anything on my blog anymore. Want to know why? I have nothing to say. Sure things happen to me, as they do to every normal human being, but what should I write? Well, since I'm so unsure, I shall be typing random things in this post. Enjoy!

I cannot wait for July 17th...HARRY POTTER 7 PART 2!!! Midnight showing?? Ohh, I hope so.
So You Think You Can Dance? 's new season starts Thursday!!!!!!! Love it! Wish I could dance.
Summer will be AU-MAZING. Weight Training, TONS of volleyball, swimming, shopping, friends!, summer job???, NO SCHOOL!
Finals. Ugh. 'Nuf said.
WHY is Lana not home yet??? I am in Definite need of shopping...like, right now.
Reading the 7th Harry Potter-I cry every time.
My friends and I are KrAzY. No denying it. Well maybe if...nope. Not even then.
I still can't figure out what to say in a post.
I talk about cheese when I have nothing to say. It freaks people out a little. That's okay.
"Do you like cheese?" "Why yes, my favorite's gouda."
"You have been majorly deceived." "We have been decepted!!" "..."
"We'll need a goat and someone to go like this (fingers moving)" "Well, I know a man with a goat." "And I can go like this! (Fingers moving)"
The 4th Pirates movie was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing! The 3rd one was boring...The 1st two were the best.
"Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?" "Of course not. They could be carried!"
"I fart in your general direction."
"You sons of a silly person!"
"What is the airspeed velocity of a swallow?" "African or European?" "I-I don't know that!" "AHHHHHH!"
"A shrubbery!"
Monty Python and the Holy Grail CAN be boring...but it's oh so funny if you watch it with me :)
"And there was much rejoicing...yay."

This post is now ending. Goodbye.

Guess Who?!

2011-04-17T14:19:00.001-07:00

ME! I got my permit and I'm way excited to be driving all around town! I'm the best there is so far. Haha! (But just in case, don't drive anywhere near me :)

Healthy Hair? Yes!

2011-03-11T15:34:00.000-08:00

I officially have short hair! I STILL don't feel used to it.....but I like it! It feels so clean and healthy! Yay for healthy! My mama and I also went shopping at Forever 21! I love that store with a fiery burning passion only found in...fire.

Skype ♥

2011-02-26T18:29:00.001-08:00

Skype is probably the best thing that happened to us! Now we can see D who's in Grenada, Britt and her kids who are in South Carolina, and Scott who's in New York! Also, we skyped Lana on Christmas! It really is awesome! Plus, with the camera, we can take pictures and videos straight from the computer! I really love it and it's definitely been a big help to the family! :)

2011-01-31T14:46:00.000-08:00

So much to do!

2010-10-24T09:55:00.000-07:00

Lot's goin' on! School, volleyball, and church occupy all of my time! Oh and my friends of course. Plus, you add in babysitting, chores, and "ME Time"! What IS "ME Time"? I don't think I've ever been apart of such a thing. I read a lot...but I don't believe that's as relaxing as it should be! I just get so into the story and I start to feel anxiety if the people in my book do or I'll feel scared or whatever!

English Reports? Uhhh, not! Gross things, they are. So annoying too! I don't have time for "reports" on dead people. Plus my mother is gone and cannot help me! Bah!

Last week of volleyball. Sadness! Three games this week too. Hope we kick some serious booty!

My mother is in Utah! Ahhh, I wish I could be there too for Skyler's Farewell and see people's! But my wishes are in vain, for it is today! I would never make it even if I hopped on a plane at this very second! TOoooooo bad.

I love this weather! It's pretty kool! Fall reminds me of PURPLE! Which I love. Mesa High is da bomb dot com! Heck yes.

2010-10-24T09:17:00.000-07:00

Awww how cute!
Pretty Flower? Yes!
I got my braces off! Finally!

Volleyball Sleepover :)

2010-09-19T12:19:00.000-07:00

I love my volleyball team! We went to Stratum and played laser tag then after we had the coolest sleepover! We were insane. Here are our names: Julie, Ashlee, Ashley, Paige, Shannon, Megan, Maricella.

If you look at this picture closely and with light, you can see Ashlee in the background meditating.
Making fun of cheerleaders :)

School...Yeah

2010-08-22T09:39:00.000-07:00

School. Four AP classes. Volleyball. It's all so insane! Biology A hour is probably my favorite class! I sit by one of my bestest friends, have the coolest teacher, and have tons of other friends in there! I love it. Art it pretty good, especially when I've got a pretty crazy girl to sit next to. Math...well math is math. The teacher isn't so bad, and I sit by my friends. Seminary! Is just plain amazin'. World History, is hilarious. Too bad my right hand buddy got moved out of the class! Lunch...hot and sweaty! English, well he should smile a little more :) Volleyball! From 2:00-5:30. Sweeeeet. Homework-ick! SLEEEEP!

I got a haircut!!!

My parents will pick me up Friday night, and then we have to be at the airport at THREE A.M.! Toooo early. But my dad and I will be flying to Texas, then this island, then another little plane, then a boat to our resort on Utila Island which is part of Honduras! We get to go scuba diving!!! I'm way excited!

This is going to be awesome! I'm still freaking out a little bit, trying to let it soak in...but it's not working! I still can't believe that I'm going! Wish me luck, and I'll see you in a week!

Hey, I had an awesome Christmas and New Year's!!! I went to a New Year's Eve Dance with my sorta kinda cousin Olivia. (Brittany's little sis.) But anyways, I was just wondering WHY I have a blog when no one looks at it and none of my friends have blogs because they all have a facebook. So, I cast my question into the void of the computer, "Why do I have a blog?" It's strange, I suppose. Ya know, sometimes I talk like I'm from a time before now. I say perhaps, and suppose, and a bunch of other silly words, but I like them. They make me feel...more like me, in a really weird way. My friends think I'm just being funny or whatever, but I'm not. Random thoughts, random typing....

Man, I'm fourteen now!!! My birthday was about eight days ago. Can you believe it??? Mia Maids. Phew. I miss my Beehives, though. The next one to come in is Codi, but not until December!!!!

School is here!!! It's so much fun, and I'm glad I got to see all of my friends again!!! Ugh, P.E. We start swimming tomorrow and I'm NOT excited. My hair will be wet ALL day since I have it first hour. Hopefully my friend Taylor W. will do my hair in a french braid like I asked her to...I bought some water proof mascara so that I don't have to go to school without it. I do NOT like the looks of myself without it and don't try to tell me otherwise!!!! I do like swimming though. I get a tan...hopefully...I need a tan so badly! I feel so white. Not a normal feeling for me. Lana's all tan now except she'll get skin cancer...Not my fault!!!! Can you die from skin cancer?? I hope not. Baby Mak is adorable!!! I love her so much!! Brittany's having a boy;what will they name him??? Cayden wants to name him Luke Skywalker, but we'll see how that goes. Olivia was down here for a week and even though I only saw her twice, we had a blast!!! I made some cute flowers for my hair, and everyone likes them. Whoo-hoo! I love my book series that I'm reading!!! Tennis Shoes Adventure Series. Ever heard of them??? They're awesome!!! Look for them!!!

Hikes

2009-06-27T11:48:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty view This is a random pile of rocks in the water.

Whew! I made it up that! It was only 1 1/2 miles up and down, but it was super steep and hard.
This is the gorgeous Rainbow Bridge. The hike is more like a 10 minute walk. (amanda, me, jade)

Houseboat

2009-06-24T12:42:00.001-07:00

These are some houseboat pictures from my 10-day trip. I was so homesick by the end of it. There were 3 fridges, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and a HUGE tv. We had jet skis, a speedster, a trampoline, kayaks, a big floaty thingy, and a slide. There were about 35 people on the boat and it was a little crowded. The food was amazing and we even had a cake baking contest. We did some hiking and I'll post some pictures of that later. We went on a Rainbow Bridge hike and the Hole in the Rock. <- That one was very difficult and steep, but totally worth it. It was such a good experience. The pioneers used dynamite to cut it out so that they could go down with 80 wagons, livestock, and over 100 people. You can see where wagon ruts are and a drill hole in the side. The pioneers were just really amazing people.

Marissa and I gave eachother "makeovers". Don't we look gorgeous? My forehead says Goof but she couldn't fit it on 1 line so it actually says Goo then F.

Marissa

This is my best friend Marissa Allen. We painted shramrocks on our faces for St. Patricks Day. She comes over basically every day now that we're out of school. She's the best!

The Perfect Guy

2009-05-29T18:46:00.001-07:00

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep.... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'"

Anything in bold is what I've done

Summer Excitement

2009-05-24T18:44:00.001-07:00

Finally school is out! Finals went well. I got an A on my science and social studies final. (yay!) This summer is going to be awesome! I can't wait to go up to Utah and see Julie and Don! I have to make sure I put on a TON of sunscreen this summer, or in the fall I'll be BURNED!!! And who wants that? Nobody. Tuesday I head out for Stake Girl's Camp. I'm uber-excited! We're going up on the Mogollon Rim, and it will be FREEZING!! Hopefully I don't get eaten alive by all of the bugs.
