My First Professional Photoshoot

One of my Young Women's Leaders wanted me to come and take pictures of her family today, so I did! I was so excited to do it and the pictures turned out super cute! If you want family pictures or know anyone who does, I am available, and I need plenty of practice! :)

My Amazing Party!

We finally had an Amazing Race Party with my friends, like the one that our family did in Lake Tahoe. It was super fun, and definitely AMAZING, haha!! My mom planned the whole thing and I wasnt allowed to have anything to do with it, so I couldnt cheat. But we still won first place. I was on a team with Jenessa, Kaden, Nate, Caleb, and Connor, with my dad driving.

Another team- Jesse, Jessica, Ashley, and Kordell, with Brother Compton as a driver

A third team- Ryan, Courtney, and Maika, with Kris Compton as a driver.

There was a fourth team, too, with Morgen and her friends Madelyn and Bethie, and my mom driving, but I dont think we got a picture of them.

All the teams had a different order of clues, so that we weren't at the same place at the same time. But our first clue was to go to Fox Hollow Elementary and do everything on the playground. Second, we had to go to our house and shovel a wheelbarrow full of mulch to the garden, third go to Mike and Kayley's across the street and eat a caramel apple.

Fourth, we went to the pumpkin patch and had to find a pumpkin that was the exact diameter as a piece of string attached to the clue, and the last clue was taking our picture in front of the T-rex at the dinosaur museum. It was sooo fun! Thanks mom for doing such an awesome race!!!

After the race we went back to our house for soup and other food. It was a lot shorter than we thought, so we hung out at our house and played night games and stuff for about an hour. It was pretty 'amazing'!

Me and Maika

Caleb, Kaden, and Nathan- It was so adorable! The boys loved Kaden! Caleb had to go to bed before Kaden left, and the first thing he said to me in the morning was, "Where did Kaden go?" Also, I am no longer Nathan and Caleb's best buddy, Kaden is. But thats okay, I guess.

Me and Ashley

Aah I love the Amazing Race. It gives awesome party ideas! And thanks a ton to my amazing mother for all the hard work she put into it!

Youth Conference

For Youth Conference in September we went to Heber Valley Camp again. It was awesome! We had an amazing fireside, really really good food (and lots of it- we probably all gained 5 pounds) and the challenge course was way fun.

On the zipline

This is the high part of the challenge course- you go up a spiderweb, across the planks, and then you zipline down. Its way fun, but a little scary.

Sports

I have been playing volleyball for Lehi High School's 8th grade team. We have been doing really well and its a lot of fun, plus I will go to High School with all the girls I am playing with! I am usually setting, but lately my coach has been putting me in as a back row passer and I love it!


Haha I think I was trying to get it out of the net!

Digging is my favorite!!!

Nate has been doing really well in football, too. Oma and Opa Meinzer came out to watch Nate and Connor's games, and I admit that 3 hours watching football in the freezing cold is not fun, but usually they are really fun. The coaches get really excited, which makes for an interesting game.
