A few weeks ago Emma asked and asked until mom said yes, she could go to a friends house. Emma was so excited! She went to play at her friends house for a few hours that evening. Mom and Dad had taken Kaytlyn Joshua and Maria out for a graduation dinner. And Peter was at work.
So Gabrielle, Mara and I where stuck at home. And Samuel was here by choice.(:
Mom had asked me to make Grilled Cheese for dinner, I burnt myself on nearly everything possible.
As Mara Gabrielle and I sat at the table eating we got 5 phone calls from Emma and her friend "Prank calling" our house. Oh boy did we get soooo frustrated!
While Mom and Dad where out with the other kids Emma and her friend had called my Mothers cell phone 3 times as well. My mom got worried for why she had been calling, cause my Mother missed the calls. So she called back in some what of a panic reminding Emma that she would pick her up at 6, and asked why she'd been calling. Emma replied with a lie saying "What? I didn't call..."
Mara Gabrielle and I where so annoyed of the phone calls we'd been getting from Emma at home that we took everything, including the sheets, off of Emma's bed and shoved them in a garbage bag, then placing the bag on the back porch.
When Mom and Dad, along Maria and Joshua (Kaytlyn went to work after eating out with them), came back after dinner, and after picking up Emma, everything was normal.
Until Emma went running up to her room and came down in tears! She was so shocked by her beds appearance! She went straight to my Mother crying and crying trying to tell my Mom through her tears what had happened to her bed. After Gabrielle had told Mom and Emma what we had done, surprisingly Mara and I didn't get in trouble!
Mom told Emma that what she had done by prank calling her cell phone during a dinner was rude. And that calling the house 5 times was unnecessary and not nice. After the talk my Mom gave her, and after we gave her bed set back, she still continued to cry.
It all turned out great though. The next day we where all laughing about it.
We taught her a lesson. Now she knows not to prank call, ever again.

Above: The firemen came and sprayed water into Kiwanis park. It's a tradition they've been doing for years. All the neighborhood kids, including any other kids that happen to be near by, love to go running through. The firemen seem to enjoy watching too.
Above: Maria and I spend a lot of time together. One day we where out in the back, she picked up my feet (As seen in the picture) and almost flipped me over on the hammock!
Above: camping out. We spent the night in the Tent a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun.
Above: Again, in the tent, after everyone had woken up.
Above: haha okay so Maria and I stayed up watching a movie, and then went out to sleep in the tent with Gabrielle and Emma. It was around 11pm. And very very dark outside and in the tent. I brought out the camera and turned the flash on to get some cute pictures. It was.. a little too bright for the both of us, but mainly Maria.(:
Above: We all have daily jobs that we should be doing. One day Maria signed up for "Weeding". She wasn't very excited about being out there weeding, in the hot sun. So I went out to keep her company.
Above: haha. I love my little brother! Before trek we went to drop our buckets off for the final weigh in. After we dropped them off we went to 5 Buck Pizza to get something to eat. Mom and Maria ran in real fast, while Joshua, Mara, and I stayed in. I told Joshua to turn around so I could get a picture of him and this was his face reaction. hahah!
Above: This was right before we went to the Utah Lake. In that jar was sand and some clams from the beach. It looked so cool and way nice until one of the clams opened! Then it started to stink. So Kaytlyn convinced Joshua to pull the clams out. It was really funny to watch. (The little blonde girl is our neighbor Avery Jane.)
Above: Again, one of Joshuas faces for me and the camera.(: Thanks for putting a smile on my face Joshua!
Above: This was the puzzle that took Mara and Maria just one night to finish. They did it crazy fast.
Above: When I get to the point where I just don't know what else to do I make cards for people that really touched me that week, or someone that I've been meaning to thank. It took me such a long time to make 3 cards. I couldn't decide how to decorate them. Then I couldn't figure out how big to write and... yeah. You get it. I worry.(:
Above: During the school year instead of a class play Gabrielles class did this "Wax Museum" thing. They all picked someone in history to learn about. Then all the family and friends come, press a button, and then the kids would talk about their person as if they where them. That sounds confusing... But it was soooo cool and creative!
Above: Gabrielle also participated in the "Hope of America" at the Mariot Center. The flag in the picture is tons of children from 5th grade in elementary schools all over Utah I believe. The Hope of America concert is so much fun, and very interesting to watch.
Above: Oh you've got to love Sundays! Here is Mara helping Emma with her multiplication cards. Joshua just laying around to be involved and not left out. And Kaytlyn goofing off with the 3 of them. Maria was in a different part of the backyard trying to throw a tennis ball in the air and hit it with a baseball bat.
