Photo Dump || July

Hello lovelies! 

Wow. I can't believe we're practically already to the end of July. Where has the time gone? It seems we were just starting this crazy year and now it's already half way over with? *shakes head in disbelief*

The beginning of this month, I received my very first phone and am l.o.v.i.n.g. it!! *laughs* I can take way nicer pictures and text my friends so now I'm happy. xP (not that I wasn't before, but you get it *winks*)

For Independence Day me, my sisters, and some other people that would take too long to name, all went up in the mountains for a hike. We got up there around 10:00 am maybe and hiked to the top and ate lunch. It was pretty foggy but I still enjoyed it. It was nice to get up in the mountains and forget the rest of the world. *winks*
Then, later that night we went to my aunt and uncle's and hung out with family until it was dark enough to shoot fireworks. They were beautiful, as always. *winks*

Took tons of pictures this month! *laughs* So.... you were warned. *laughs again* I won't put all of them on here because well, there would be at least 250 pictures. *chuckles*

Kate is getting so big!! She says, "mama", "num, num", "puppy", and "baby". *melts* She's just too cute for words! So, there are going to be a lot of pictures of her. xP

Me, my mom and all my sisters decided it would be great to hand paint our house. So we did. *winks* It took us a few days to do it, and we did it in sections so it wouldn't look too weird. *laughs* I think it makes our little old house look way better, and I love it!

Went on a spontaneous trip to the beach one Sunday with my sisters and two aunts. It was really fun and I think we should did it again sometime! You can watch a video of our little trip HERE

Started to get our wood supply for the year so that means, lots of work! *laughs* But it's not too bad so that's good. ;P

Went blueberry picking! I've always loved to pick blueberries and with Kate there this time it was even better. *winks*

And.............................. *drumroll* I finished all my drives!!! *does a happy dance around the room* Now, all I have to do is pass my test drive on Wednesday and get my hours and I can get my license! I'm kind of nervous about doing my test drive, mostly because I just hate being tested on things. It always makes me so nervous. But I've gotten almost perfect scores on all my drives so I should just fine. Right??

My very first picture on my phone. <3

For Independence Day my sisters thought it would be fun to 

decorate their car. So we did. *winks*

All ready to go hiking <3

I took tons of pictures when we went hiking so it's amazing how many 

I didn't put on here. *laughs*

Me and my besties! *winks*

Isn't my grandpa just about the cutest thing there is? *hugs him*

I only got like two pictures of the fireworks because 

I'm not that skilled with my camera yet *winks*

After church one Sunday we went and got BV and coffee. *sunglasses*

Isn't she the cutest?! 

Kate and her cousin Mathew. <3

(they were born three hours apart but on different days)

Headed to do my freeway drive! 

(can you believe it?! I got almost a perfect score on that drive!)

Did some drawing...

Started painting!

One night me and my sisters went to "the aunts" and played old 

video games and chatted. <3

Going blueberry picking!

Ready for church!

 This kid is enough to kill you!! *dies because she's so cute* xP

  

Doesn't it look so nice?! Way nicer than before that's for sure. *winks*

Headed to the beach!

Me and my girl <3

 After my last drive my mom took me to get coffee. <3 

(it was mostly because it was hot. but I like to believe it was celebrating xP)

 Threw a surprise party for my step grandma

Bonus Picture from last month: Just because my brother sent it to me and it's so 

cute. <3 He's teaching me how to shoot. Isn't his smile just the cutest? 

Whew! That look awhile! I hope you enjoyed it and weren't bored. Until next time, God be with you all!! <3
