I just got back from Summerland!! Grandma and Grampa came back for about a week and then they were going back. The boys were going with them and it was only going to be for 10 days so I decided that I was going to go too. The only sucky thing was that Y.W's camp was during the same week. I've never gone to girls camp and I don't think I'll ever get to, but this was going to be the last time I could go to Summerland for a while. Besides I had to go to keep the boys in check.
I had tons of fun.It was a little wierd not having Keltie there but still good. Our Grandparents forever friends the Bakers were there as always and thier daughter Marti with her kids. Her oldest is only 9 (Jesse) but we get along great playing cards and stuff. A few days before we left we had some more friends come ( I can't remember thier last name so I just call them the British people.) They had a daughter who was 12 and a boy my age. Abigail and I clicked really fast and Jesse and Sam got along too despite the age difference. You would think it would have been the other way around.
The British kids were obsessed with races. I mean, everything we did was either a race or a contest. I got so tired from racing to the bouy and back over and over again. Grampa bought a Kayak a few years back and they had one too so we were racing those as well. It was still a lot of fun.
One of my most favourite things about Summerland that is always tradition is that we play cards. A lot. This year we did something special and had a marble tournament. We had 2 marble boards and we drew partners out of a hat. Then the four pairs would split into two's and then the winners would take on the winners of the other board. I won them both. Don Baker and I were the champions and won huge Slurpees. That was so awesome.
Locklin said something so hilarious. He was like, " Grandma, can you teach me a new card game? I'm getting sick of playing Old May and Goldfish." Then Grandma said, " Well we could play Old Maid and Go Fish." I don't think he caught on until we all were laughing at him later.
Locklin made us go to Summerland Sweets. It's something that we've always done even though if you've done it once you've seen it all. It really sucked this year because they no longer do tours and thier movie i9s on VHS and really needed to be replaced. And they replaced thier ice cream place with wine tasting.
I went home with the Bakers 3 days earlier than everybody else. I had a dentist appiontment that we could't reschedule. That meant I had to sit in the backseat of thier truck with thier guard dog Doberman/ . She is wayy over protective and didn't seem to like me very much whenever I had come to thier campsite but she LOVED me on the 8 hour drive home. She basically sat in my lap the entire way. But I really like animals so I was okay with it Don and Karen didn't like the way she was sitting on the seats and crushing me and not listening. She is a very good dog though.
We are leaving Canada in less than 5 days! We have a flight for Mexico that leaves Utah on September 6. My Dad and Uncle Jamie are going to drive down to Mexico a couple days before so they can pick us up from the airport when we get there. I'M SO EXCITED!!

Ashlee, Jessica, Daylon, and Uncle Jamie were here for the long weekend! Jamie had to leave early but we got everyone else for the entire weekend. Ashlee went shopping with me and Jessica and we found out the we wear the same size of pants exactly! When they're in Mexico I fully intend to steal her clothes.
We got to have a bigger family dinner than we've had for a while with my Moms side of the family. We had the Creasons, Nathan, Hilary, and Great Grandma. Ashlee got Grandma some Jelly Beans and she was so excited it was so funny.
I've been having Harp lessons and I am so excited. I 've been getting new stuff and I can't wait to get more. I do alright by myself but actually having a teacher makes it way easier to stay on track and notice more stuff. I only have about 3 lessons left.
I GOT BREAKING DAWN!!! It's the fourth and final book in the series of my favourite books ever and IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!! I just finished it today alyough I got it on Saturday. I wouldn't let myself start reading it until my cousins left because I get totally sucked in. These books will be hard to top. They're making a movie out of it and I will be soo mad if they kill it. I don't have very high expectations for it anyway. Books are always better than the movies.
Granma and Grampa got back from Summerland last night.They are so much tanner than I am and they sit in the shade the entire time they're out there, reading. They brought us back cherries! They're only back for about a week before they go back.
I've been talking to Toni while she's down in PaaMul. Aahh I'm so jealous... I can't wait to get down there.

Jamin passed the Sacrament today!! Yay for our family's newest priesthood holder!!
I am SO jealous right now. Toni and Dani are going to PaaMul on Friday. I have made Toni swear to take an insane amount of pictures including our palapa, the ocean, all our friends, geckos and iguanas, palm trees, sun and sand. It makes me sad knowing that Toni will be walking around in my house and PaaMul without me. =,( I won't get to see Toni and Dani until Christmas when they come down.
I just noticed that I forgot to write about going to the Calgary Stampede! Keltie, Hilary, and I went on the Friday before it was over. Hilary doesn't really like rides and usually that's about all we do when we go to the Stampede. This time I got to see all the other stuff that goes on. We pet animals and saw the horses, llamas, goats, sheep, dogs, and cows and what was probably the highlight of it, we got tattoos. Airbrush ones I mean. They were so cool. I got mine to last for 4 days before I just let it finish coming off. It was really fun just hanging out with Hilary.
I will have to add some pictures. Usually I write up on my Grandparents computer and they don't have any of our pictures uploaded on here so when I get the chance I'll do that.

I HAVE MY LEARNER'S LICENSE!! Finally after 3 failed attempts over an entire year, I passed! What's funny is that I got 100% on it and it only took me 10 minutes to do! Sheesh. Daddy let me drive part of the way home. I was so excited I totally forgot to put my seatbelt on!
I woke up this morning and my first thought was I CAN DRIVE! YAY!

Only 46 days until my birthday and hopefully until I'm back in Mexico! My last scheme didn't work but now I've figured out that if I get everybody to get me the stuff I really want for my birthday then I can use all my money for a plane ticket. Or if I can get my parents to get me a plane ticket for my birthday then I can just buy the stuff I want anyways. It would really help if I could get a job then I could just do it all myself. I'm going to get more applications tomorrow. I've been inspired by Keltie getting her first paycheck ever today! We made her take a picture in her Petland uniform with it.
I was happily suprised yesterday by the sun. It was actually kind of nice. Me and Keltie (my Mother has been bugging me saying that it's Keltie and I. I had to go back and change all the other times I wrote me and Keltie in my other posts) we tanned in the backyard on the trampoline for a few hours. We slathered tanning oil all over ourselves and the next morning I didn't feel any tanner although I did find a new tan line on my stomach from my swimsuit being slanted on one side. Today it was pouring rain, hail, and we had a lot of wind, thunder and lightning. This was the next day. In Playa it was raining as well but it was 36 celsius. Here it was 9 and now it's 4. I can't tell you how depressed I was today.
I went to work with Dad in Cranston. He didn't want me to be alone all day. Mom and the boys had gone to Fort McCleod to see Aunty Ashlee and cousins. Keltie and Dad were going to be working and Grandma and Grandpa are still in Summerland. So instead of me being bored by my lonesome I got to be bored in Cranston with Dad. I studied my learners and learned how to do the first 2 layers of a Rubiks cube. I also picked flowers from outside the van but the died before we got back.
For the past 2 days it has been my life's mission to be able to do a handstand. I've never been able to do one before and I don't know how I got the idea in my head to want to. So far I've pulled 2 muscles fallen on the tile and bruised the top of my foot and still not be able to do anything past a really slow flip into the shaggy bag. I'll get it eventually. I hope.
I've got to get to bed so I can be awake for my learner's test tomorrow.I had better pass this time because I've got to pay for it myself ince I failed the other 3 that my parents paid for. I feel way more confident this time. My manual looks like a 3 year old coloured in it with every colour they could find. I don't think I can study it any better than I've got it now.

We are in Canada. We've been here since the beginning of June and we'll probably be here for the rest of the summer, until the end of August. I'm not happy to be here this long. The only problem I really had with coming to Canada was how long we were going to be here. It's really draining and stressful here even in the summer. I think that 2 weeks every 2-3 months would be just fine.
Four days after we got back I had a Harp Ensemble and end of the year concert. My Dad and brother Locklin had driven the van up to Canada with my Harp and the cats. They had dropped the Harp off in Arizona for my Grandparents to drive up with so there would be enough room in the van for Dad to pick us up from the airport. (The rest of us got to fly to Utah.) We then drove the last 15 hours together. We got to Calgary 2 days before my grandparents so I only had 2 days to practice on my harp all the brand new Ensemble music for the concert after I hadn't played Harp for about a week and a half. Needless to say I did a lot of practicing and gave myself blisters because my calluses had softened up. I did pretty well at the recital.
I haven't had much to do. Keltie, Mom, and Dad got jobs and gramma and grampa left for Summerland B.C. I also tried to get a job but it turns out that most places you have to be 15 years old. I, however, am only 14 years and 10 months. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get enough money to buy stuff and a plane ticket out of here. I figured out today that if I leave July 20 It's only $519.00 for a plane ticket. I have an I OWE U from my parents for around $540.00 so it would totally work! I would just have to find a way to convince them to let me stay by myself in Mexico for a whole month.... maybe if Keltie came too...
It seems like last minute flights are waaayy cheaper.
Our aunt Hilary has been hanging out with us a lot. She usually picks Keltie up from work then hangs out with us until bedtime. She's been going to school in Hawaii and has a "almost Fiancee" there. We get together and talk about warm, humidity, sun, the ocean, how cool it is living somewhere tropical and the language and culture differences. On Wednesday and Thursday nights we watch So You Think You Can Dance ( SYTYCD) My favourite T.V show. The only one I really like actually. I feel like I watch a lot of T.V here because there's nothing else to do. We haven't had T.V for at least 5 years. I'm convinced it sucks out your brain until you can't do anything but eat, sleep, talk about, and watch T.V.

Happy Mother's Day! Yesterday we had the Hopsias kids over and made mother's day cards. Mom had found this cool card on the internet where you make little flowers and stick them in a pot on your card. On the back of each flower we wrote chores we can do to help around the house. ( can you tell why my Mom liked this card?) The kids had a lot of fun making creative flower chains with ribbons and paper punchers. All I can say is that my flower pot looked more like a flower explosion. We just got back from church and had the traditional holiday/birthday food. Waffles and pancakes. It was so good. Mom got us to do free chores, Dad not to 'talk back' to her, me and Keltie cleaned the whole palapa last night, season 6 of Smallville, and a microwave. Our last microwave died about two weeks ago and it's really sucked not being able to heat anything up or defrost the butter when you need it. Mom wanted it so she could make popcorn.
One day when me and Keltie bumming around and to lazy to go swimming we decided to take some pictures. We got some pretty sweet ones if I do say so myself. It took so long for Keltie to figure out how to take the picture while I was still in the air. We had to take tons until she got it. I think she just thought it was funny to see me crash into the sand again.
My new favourite past time is climbing trees. We've got some awesome ones to climb. Although while I was in one I got bit by this wierd fly and it made my foot go all red and poofy.
Construction is done! We've got our stuff moved back over and the boys are sleeping in thier own room. Me, Keltie, and Dad are so happy because we don't have to sleep at Ian and Deb's anymore. I didn't have to go over there that much because the one night I did I got sick from sleeping in the air conditioning with no humidity. I'll post some pictures when it's all put together.
Me and Keltie went to Yan ten to suntan and got burnt. I'm not burnt so bad, just in strange places. I also have what looks like a white thumb print in the middle of the burn on my leg. At least it doesn't hurt.
