Halloween!

I have not done a blog post in a while but now i will do one about Halloween!!!! Reagan was a pirate (Elizabeth Swan from Pirates of the Carri bean!)

Kobe was Obi Wan Knobi (if that's how you spell it!)

Jackson had to be a BYU football player!

And I was a bumble bee!

Can you see the sparkles in my hair below????

Two of my friends named Alex and Emily invited me to go trick or treating with them in their neighborhood. So, I went with them. They had a big fire truck that gave out tons of candy!! I had a bigger bag for my candy this year and it was filled to the top with candy! After we finished sorting our candy and trading it, we went outside on Emily's trampoline because it was really warm outside!!!
(That's Emily, Alex, and me!)

Halloween was very fun and I am pretty sure I had too much candy! by the way please leave comments about Halloween for you!

Girls Camp!

I just went to girls camp for my first year and it was altogether pretty good. I enjoyed it. Especially ward night! That's when all the girls in our ward come for a campfire at night and play games and sing songs. Also, Brother Collit from our ward came down to girls camp for that night.
Well first of all I really wouldn't call this "camping," because there's cabins with bunk beds and mattresses on them. Also, there's ceiling fans and showers! Yeah, not really roughing it, but it was fun doing it that way anyways.

We also had certification groups where we learned to make donuts, set up tents, tie different kinds of knots and a lot more!

Also, we had skit night and the theme of camp this year was "Camping with the Stars" so there was skits like "Camping Idol," "Dancing with the Stars," and such. Ours was supposed to be "Star Wars." But, only a few people really knew what they were doing in it so we came up with a skit in ten min. for our ward and it has to do with this person just watching television and she flips to scuba diving with a star fish, star wars, and dancing with the stars. Ours was successful though! All of the first years, like me, got blankets that the young women secretly made. And they presented them to us at camp!

Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I got a bee sting . The bee went into a hole in my crocs and stung me on the foot. My friend Lilli was the one to notice that it was a bee sting. I just knew it hurt! I had to go to the nurse's office except it was air conditioned!

I met a lot of new friends but I made three really good friends from the buffalo ward named Rachel, Joslin, and Magoli. They are really nice to me! My name is Jillie and I have a friend named Lilli from the same ward and they really liked how r names rhymed and everything so they made their names like Milly, Billy, and so on. It was cool! Like the Jillie and Lilli club!

We also got paper plate awards and mine was Non-Complainer!

I had a really fun time at camp, but the best part was being with my mom!

July 4th!

On the fourth of July we had a great time! We had some friends from different parts of New York come down to our house! Our friends from church, the Brandt's came too! We played a lot! First, we went swimming.

We also had a water balloon toss! My dad and I were partners, and we won!

Then, we had lunch! Full of potato salad, hamburgers, watermelon, and more!

But best of all we had dessert!!!!!!!!!! We had homemade ice cream, chocolate chip brownies, cakes, and just look at these pictures!

Bounce house time!!!!!! We had a bounce and the Brandt's had a bounce house! That's fun! And while the kids played in the bounce houses the parents played name that tune to 80's music blah! But, I actually knew some of the songs, surprisingly!

Then, we went to a parade that Reagan was in, waving a flag in color guard and we stayed for fireworks behind the middle school!

Then, we went home and ended the 11 hour day with friends with our own firework shooting show with fireworks from PA.

Happy 4th of July and oh, more importantly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE NATHAN!
