life can't get better

**can i begin by saying thanks for the followers!? 24 (in my mind) is pretty good and i can't wait to get more! **

so, what have i been up to lately?

honestly, i've been having a good time! i can actually say i like all of my classes. chemistry might be an exception but i'll make the best of it! dance is amazing, loving every practice! except for drama. it really sucks. the sad part is it isn't even the drama within the team it's drama outside of that! ugh!  friday we performed in the homecoming assembly and i think its safe to say we did really good! now we are getting ready for our concert which i'm so excited about. our theme is "astrology" so we will be dancing outside! it's going to be "totally wicked!!!" cross country is awesome! yesterday we just got back from a cross country meet at BYU! i got a personal record (PR) there and placed 42/127! it was so much fun! i can't wait for our next meet!

here is my goal for my blog: to post at least twice a week. life is crazy, but i really want to improve this blog! so, on top of the posts from me, if any of you would like to guest post on my blog we can swap and i guest post on your blog and get more followers! yay for followers! email me ok?

how's your life going?

plank and swim!

so one night i got together with borgey and ju! we were honestly so bored and COULD NOT find anything to do. so we went downtown and planked. have you heard of this new thing? it is honestly the dumbest but also funnest thing to do. i wish i would have gotten pictures, but i didn't have my camera! borgey got some, but she won't give 'em to me! go youtube planking if you haven't heard about it yet!

after that we went night swimming! we did some stunts because they decided it would be fun to throw me in the air. 

funniest story: 

for some reason the city Chicago was brought up and borgey was convinced that it was in California. she said that in the show Victorious they have a song that goes, "Chicago, Chicagooo." Or something like that. i haven't seen the show so i don't know for sure and we were like, "Ya that means they are in Illinois." Borgey was convinced they were in California. Oh dear, what are we going to do with her?

talk to you later!

sweet sixteen... not mine though!

on july 20 it was my very, very good friend's sixteenth birthday. 

her name is ashley.

we (dance company) call her borgey. 

she dances with me!

read about this day here!

her older sister planned a surprise party for her. we kidnapped her and took her to Denny's to eat. then we came back and had a spa day. we put avacado and banana mix on our face for a facial. can i say GROSS!? then we went to sadie and lindy's house and rode four-wheelers. we went to a pond and swung on the rope swing. then drove a half hour just to get a snow cone. waste of time but the scenery was great. after that we went to lindy's house and had dinner. it was delish! following that we went to one of their neighbors' house and swam. that was cool. we tried to plank by lifting each other up. it was crazy! then we came back to lindy's and watched Despicable Me, because that is a cool movie that makes me laugh everytime! it was super late and so i had to go home. :/ here are the highlights of the moments!

leaving borgey, say whaa?

we blind folded ash so she wouldn't see where she was going. when we showed up to denny's the waitress took us to the table. soon we heard "guys, guys where are you?" OOPS! we forgot her. everyone was laughing at us. it was uhhh, grand? we were quite the site. not gonna lie.

facials...

eww. never put water, banana and avacado together and rub it on your face. just never do it. first it's stinks, real bad. second, its chunky, poop-colored stuff all over your face. and lastly, listen to me and don't do it. 

we kinda get lost.

so sadie and lindy live in a super small town like twenty minutes away from us so there is nothing there. so in attempt to find something* to do we drove through a scenic view to get a snow cone. the snow cone was so good. i wish i could remember the flavor! then on the way back we were trying to find a faster, more efficient way to make it back home. not smart. we got lost, but don't worry obviously we made it home safe! 

swimming.

well thats a long and another story...

so overall it was a very fun day and we partied it up!

yupp!

stay tuned for a post on trek!

*obviously, we found a lot of stuff to do in the end and who needs a big city? we don't!

4th of July festivities!

for the 4th of July i had a lot of fun with my family! we didn't do anything special, but we sure had a blast!

to start it off we went swimming. in the summer we swim everyday. it's awesome! after that we came inside to chill and have dinner. fireworks down town were at ten. our town doesn't do half bad with the firework show! here are some pictures from that...

i used the "firework" setting on my camera and it did some funky things. i found that while it is "Processing" if you shake the camera it is crazy! below are some prime examples.

i missed out on taking pictures of the finale (which was AMAZING) because my camera ran out of batteries... LAME! 

yesterday was a blast!

HOW WAS YOUR 4TH OF JULY? WHAT DID YOU DO?

--taylor--

oh it's summer time!

and i'm loving it! this summer has been awesome and what's weird is i'm a little excited to start up in school again. this year is my first year at the high school! last year was kind of a bummer. i was dancing with the high school dance team (i was the only one not at the high school) and being at the middle school sucked! so this year is going to be bomb, i just know it. 

anyways this last week i had dance camp. it was an awesome experience and i learned so much. even though i woke up every morning and could barely move because my muscles were so sore, i am thankful! it was very fun. i love my dance co. and i couldn't ask for a better group. i LOVE them so much! wednesday night after a long day at camp we had a social. we went to some red rocks and had sandwiches. when the sun started setting we took pictures of us doing jumps. they were cool! after that i came home and SLEPT! thursday was the last day of camp. it was a FUN day! 

thursday night Mo and Borgey from dance, and i had a sleep over. Mo is the new freshie, Borgey is a junior, and i a sophie. Oh and Borgey's older sis and her friend joined us! --borgey took these pictures--

borgey's lil' bro had made a fort... so we slept in it!

at two in the morning we decided to do exotic makeup!

after the makeup we put tooth paste on our face. let me tell you, it might sting and make your eyes water, but it is SOOO refreshing. it makes your skin smooth.

we woke up and made some pancakes. yumm! then my mom came and i had to leave.

i came home and chilled for a lil' bit and then i fell asleep. i had my friends birthday party at four and i woke up at 4:30. whoopsie! anyways it was chey, kaylee, danielle and me. it was fun! we swam, ate DELICIOUS cupcakes and watched Tron. since i did not get any pictures of this occassion i will be stilling them from kaylee.

me, chey, and danielle!

that was a great week!

speechless

actually, i can't say i am speechless cause i can say SO much about the Parachute concert! it was about an hour a drive away and on our way we stopped for In-N-Out. i love that place and we srsly argued for 20 minutes on where to go. we finally settled. jancyn and i had fun with the papers they give you.

we got there a lil' late, but that's okay. here is us waiting and waiting...

funny story! so the drummer on Parachute is fine! there was this guys that came on coming from backstage and jancyn and i were like is that him? ya, turns out it was him and we totally missed out on talking to him!! bummer. here's him:

then Parachute performed!!! ahhhh it was so awesome! so twice, TWICE, Will (lead singer) came out into the crowd. and both, BOTH times he was right directly by me. this may sound freaky, but i touch him! he even elbowed me! haha 

he was srsly that close!

so they did really awesome. personally, i think they sound better live then recorded! they are so good! here are pictures of them performing. my camera (well my sister's) didn't do good with the lighting. i tried every setting. so here's the best of them all!

oh and at the end i got Will and Johnny (the drum) to sign my CD and get a picture with them. jancyn has those pictures so i have to wait for her to give them to me...
