Hello, sun.
It's the first day of summer.
I think I'll go hit a ball with a racket, then jump off a bridge and relish in the fact that I don't have to shower, cause obvs the canal water is plenty sanitized!
**Note to self - remember mosquito repellant! 'Cause West nile = crap.

ME&MYDAD
We like to pretend we're athletic.
We're posers.
We love to dance.
We're strong believers in some rest and relaxation.
This is my dad.
His name is Dale.
Scary looking, isn't he?
But he's not.
At all.
He is the strongest, kindest, nicest, sweetest, hardest working man I've ever met in my whole life.
Ever.
He is also one of the most frustrating people to have a conversation with.
But.
He is my daddy.
And as long as he wants me to be, I will always be his 4 year old.
Even though he can't be here today - he's up working in Slave Lake - it's still his day.
And I hope he is having a great day.
primary :)
i am loving primary these days. if you ask me, i have the best calling in the ward. because i get to just sit and listen to the children learn, sing, and teach. today was definitely my favorite sunday in a long time.
every week, the primary president asks us to hold up our hands if we've read the scriptures that week. then, she counts the hands and puts (x) pennies in a jar. those pennies go towards the purchase of Book of Mormons for the missionaries. since we've raised enough money for 2 BoMs, today they asked the kids for tidbits of their testimonies to write in the front cover of the books. oh, how sweet are little children.
in junior primary, it was a lot of: "i'm thankful for my dogs." "i love my parents." "i like my brother, even though he is mean to me all the time." "i know the church is true." "i share my toys." and, my personal favorite, "Jesus made crackers so i can eat them." it's so incredible to me that these children are so confident in the gospel, that even the simplest of treats - a cracker - was given to them by the Lord.
in senior primary, it was more of: "Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father in the sky." "the Book of Mormon is true." "i'm grateful for my friends and family." "i love coming to primary and learning about Jesus." and, of course, a favorite.. "i am so thankful for the temples so i can live with my family - and my husband and my kids and my dogs - for eternity."
then, to top it all off.. we sang my #1 ultimate favorite primary song of ever. "I Love To See The Temple." every single child knew all the words to that song. even the little sunbeams!
For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
I'll prepare myself while I am young;
This is my sacred duty.
oh yeah, then i got to listen to boyfriend give a talk on the role of fathers in the home and how he is excited to raise a bunch of little carter juniors... and i fell in love with him all over again.
the church is so incredible. in no other religion will you go to a meeting to find 12-17 year old boys blessing and passing the emblems of the Lord. in no other religion would you see young couples teaching the gospel to the congregation instead of an old(er) man pounding the pulpit. in no other religion are 8 year old kids baptized - BY CHOICE. in no other religion do you find 19 year old guys giving up two prime years of their lives to go to foreign - or not so foreign - countries for the purpose of saving other people's salvation.
i love the gospel. i am so grateful that i was born and raised in the true church. i am so glad i am able to go to church every sunday and take the sacrament. and i can't wait to be married for time and all eternity in one of the above temples.

I love to see the temple.
I'm going there someday
To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.

I'll go inside someday.
I'll cov'nant with my Father;
I'll promise to obey.
I'll go inside someday.
I'll cov'nant with my Father;
I'll promise to obey.
For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
As a child of God,
I've learned this truth;
A fam'ly is forever.

justin bieber.
“It was like, Usher and Timberlake want to meet me? Are you kidding?
There was no point in trying to tell anyone at school about this. It would be like telling them I was going to meet CHUCK NORRIS, and we all know that guy is untouchable. I mean, c’mon. It’s CHUCK NORRIS. He doesn’t need Twitter, he’s already following you.” - The Biebs
“It was like I opened my eyes one day and noticed that the world was full of beautiful girls. And I’ve had a hard time hard time thinking about anything else since then.” - The Biebs
Watch this!
And this!
"If I can do just one-tenth of the good Michael Jackson did for others, I can really make a difference in this world."
What a kid. I legit love him.

oh myy.
Kari. Thank you for this song. I've listened to it 8+ times.. Since I read your blog about 20 minutes ago.. Haha! :)
Last night was sweet. A bunch of friends that I've been missing [Sydnee, Dustin, Maddie, Adrian, Ethan, Kelsey(Beans), Dahlin, Christine(also known as 'Beans', 'Brad', or 'Chris'), Dillon.. And, of course, me and Carter] went and had a great time. We ate at Moxie's, then went bowling. Then everyone else went to Chris' to eat ice cream sandwiches and mix Diet Coke & Mentos. Buuut I had to take my mama up to the hospital. :(
Back to bowling. I suck. Trash. It was so embarassing. Seriously. I scored 63. Chris had 174. Booooo. Hahahah. I'll have to practice up.

oh, hey blog world.
it's just nicole, coming at you with another story of my family being amazing.
my car is a pain in my butt.
don't get me wrong. i love it. i love independence and being able to go where i want when i want.
but i HATE the upkeep.
i hate filling it up with gas.
and starting right now...
i hate flat tires.
i just had my first one ever. and of course, it was when i was in a huge rush to get to lethbridge to put my knife orders in.
luckily for me, curtis and grampa and jen and dianne love me, so they saved me from eternal torment.
curtis and grampa changed my tire while jen and dianne drove me into lethbridge.
however, now i need 2 new tires.
suck.

don't be hatin.
i might have been a bit naive today.
i assumed that since it was only 23º, it'd be great suntanning weather. TANNING.
but i forgot that the UV index was 7+/high.
this is a result of sleeping for legit like 45 minutes.
but then we went to st. mary's reservoir. and i wore the same thing.
uh oh.
oh well, i love it. :)
YES!
summer is here.
i have proof.
exhibit a - carter and i spent 34 consecutive hours together. all nighter? i love that.
exhibit b - carter and i did 3 hours of yard work today. in the sun. 26º of sun to be precise.
exhibit c - carter and i spent 2 hours on the trampoline. from 10 until 12. and we weren't even cold. score!
exhibit d - we had a bbq. just the two of us. jealous? you should be. he is a dang good grill master.
my feet are stained green from mowing the grass.
my eyes are drooping from the lack of sleep.
my legs are shaved.
my hair is as up as it's gonna get.

this morning, i discovered that alarms clock sound ridiculous when you're already awake.
i also discovered that 15 minutes of extra sleep is better than waking up right on time.
[ps. a hearty congratulations to my darling cousin heather {and her husband, justin} for their newest addition - Barker Moxley - who was born yesterday, weighing in at 7.14. i can't wait to meet him!!!]
