For her birthday she took work off and went up to Park City, Utah, with her best friend, Nichole, and they got to shop ALL DAY, while I was at school! SO NOT FAIR!!! haha just kidding! After my dad got off of work that night, we went up to our cabin in Park City, with Ryan, Kaydon, and Keirsten Downs! It was pretty fun! We watched Scooby Doo and jammed out to Taylor Swift and Fire Burnin' the whole way up! haha Kaydon knew all of the words! It was SOOO fun and funny! When we got to the cabin, Em opened her gifts and we had cake and icecream! The cake and ice cream were DELISH!! The next day we all went to the Outlet Mall! It was a blast and I got a lot of cute, new winter school clothes! YAY! haha After we were done with shopping we went back to the cabin and went on a walk! It was pretty fun, but kind of boring since we walked ALL day anyways!!! haha When we got back to the cabin we ate then we played "Wacky Sixes"! We totally got wackin'!! haha (inside joke) I dominated, like always!!!!!!!! haha We sadly had to go home on Sunday, but we had dinner with the Downs when we got home!!! haha I had a really fun wkend and I hope that we'll be able to go to the cabin again, soon!!!

Maughan Family Reunion!

For the Maughan Family Reunion this year we went to Utah! Before heading up to utah me Bryton, Alex, and my dad and Emily went to Lava! Our friends, the McMinns', decided to go up to Lava too so we had ourselves a party!!! haha! It was so much fun! Me, Kal, Bryton, and Alex had a blast! The next day we headed up to Utah and we all decided to go to the Hogle Zoo!! I had so much hanging out with my cousins! We spent most of the day there and by the end we were all EXHAUSTED!!! We saw every single animal there! My favorites were the baby meerkats and the baby girrafe!! They were so cute!! haha Before we left me and Alex decided to go on the merry go' round with all of the little kids. Let's just say that we both agreed that it was funner to ride when we were little! haha Later that night we went to my aunt and uncles house and we had a bbq! It was AWESOME!! The food was delish, ofcourse! haha! There was a little bouncy house there that the little kids played, well wrestled, in. haha it was pretty dangerous in there! I went in there and i instantly got kicked in the face! haha While the little kids played in that, me, Bryton, my dad, and my uncles made up this game on the tramp! It was awesome and so much fun! It got pretty competitive because i got elbowed in the side, not only once, but TWICE!!! Ya i know! CRAZYNESS!! haha Later we roasted marshmellows!! They were delicious! haha O and i also learned a soccer trick that my cousin taught me how to do! I actually did it right too!! haha amazing!! haha The next day we did one of my favorite things... we went BOATING!! It was a blast! We did everything! Haha Me and Bryton set up a volleyball net, with no help! It was a pain! haha but we did it! haha it was pretty much a waste of time tho because we barely used it! haha o well!! The fun things that we actually did do was the wave runners! They were way fun and relaxing! haha My favorite part tho was the water weinee!!! Me and my cousins rode it and it was freakin' AWESOME! haha We also went tubing and it was crazy fun! Me, Taysia, and Aubrey went on it together, with my grandpa driving, and it was soooo much fun!!! HAhah well... until Aubrey and Taysia hit there heads on a huge wave we hit! YEah my grandpa is an INSANE driver!! haha but it was a fun ride! haha Thanks Grandpa :) haha I also went on the tube with my lil' cuz Cam! haha ya just call us Cam and Cam! haha it was way fun! It was hilarious too cuz all Cam did was laugh and giggle the whole time! haha my grandpa drove crazy then too haha even with a 5 year old! haha but Cam absolutley LOVED it!!! haha i did too!! After Aubrey's head felt better we went on it together again, just us! It was a blast! haha And we didn't get hurt! hahaha! IT was a WAY fun day!! On Sunday me, my dad and Em, and my grandparents went to the Oquirr Mountain Utah Temple Dedication! It was my first dedication that i've been too, and it was amazing! It was very spiritual and i loved it!

Well the Maughan Family Reunion was awesome and i had a BLAST! Thanks aunt Amanda and uncle Josh for planning everything! :) Here are some picture of the reunion:

First Day of 8th Grade!!!

AHH!!! Today was my first day of officially being an 8th grader! School was pretty good today (we only had 15 min classes!!)! All we did today was go through our classes and socialize! I wish school was like that EVERYDAY!!! haha! Sadly tomorrow we start... learning:(. haha. I like my teachers and classes so far, but i guess i shouldn't say anything yet... things change! haha just kidding! haha Most of my friends are in my classes too! So i have nothing to complain about! haha! Also my cousin, Alex, is at my school now! He is a little 6th grader! haha. It feels so wierd being the oldest! All of the seventh and sixth graders are so small and I feel so TALL, except when I'm around kids my age, then i feel short again!! haha! 8th grade is going to be so much....... FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spending time with my Nana!

These past 2 weeks my Nana came down from Arizona! We did a lot of fun stuff together! We mostly just stayed home and watched movies, and ate her famous mexican food! Her mexican food is definately the BEST mexican food I have ever tasted, especially her salsa!!! YUMMY!!! I just wanted to tell her thank you for coming down and helping my mom recover from her surgery, and that I appriciate everything she has done for me and my mom. I had a lot of fun with her and I am glad that she took some time off of work and came down to visit! I Love you, Nana!! :) Love,
Camry

Erickson Family Reunion!

For our Erickson Family Reunion this year we went camping up to Willow Flats. It was a ton of fun!! We invited our friends, the Downs, to come with us! They practically are family! haha! Anyways we got there on Friday night, and right when we got there i went in my grandparents trailer with my cousins, Bryce, Landon, their cousin Alissa, and Kayden Downs! Let me just tell you that it was CRAZY!!! haha Me and Bryce started rapping primary songs, just call us the Mormon rappers:), and we were all just being goofy! That's how this wonderful camping trip began! haha The next day we played games, went four wheeling, and just hung out! The most popular game that we played was horse shoes! It got pretty competitive too! haha! My grandpa was the best at it, hands down!!

The food was DELICIOUS too! I ate so much food! It was crazy!! haha That night we roasted marshmellows and made banana boats! YUMMY!!! That's definately one of the best things to do when you go camping! Me and my cousin, Jared, also ate ALL of the muddy buddies that me and my friends, Kali and Timmie, made! They were amazingly delish! There was also a little creek, or crik ( that's what my grandma calls it! hehe), where we were camping! It was pretty tight! We accidently threw Kayden's football in it a couple of times, haha but it's all good we always got it back! Someone was always stupid enough to run though the water to get it, and once that stupid person was..... me!! haha the water was SOO cold!! haha There was also a little island in the creek that my cousin discovered! It was cool! haha Emily, Nicole, Keirsten, Kayden, and I went on a little hike one day too, it was fun, then it started to rain so we headed back to camp! haha! Well anyways, this Family Reunion was really fun and I was glad that i was able to spend time with my wonderful, fun, family!!! :)

Twin Falls Temple!!!

Today was awesome!! My ward went to the Twin Falls Temple to do Baptisms for the dead! It was so much fun! Before we went to the Temple we went to Shoshone Falls and ate lunch! The falls were beautiful! It was my second time going there and there was a major difference! There was a lot less water from the last time we were there. It was still very beautiful though! :) After, we headed over to the Temple. This was my first time ever doing baptisms at the Twin Falls Temple! We usually go to the Idaho Falls Temple! Ofcourse the Temple was beautiful and it was a lot of fun and an amazing expierience!! I am so grateful that i was able to go to the Twin Falls Temple and do service for the dead! I can't wait until next time we go!:)

Swimming and G.I.Joe!

Today was a pretty fun day! I went swimming with my 2 besties, Timmie and Jori! Sadly i didn't get any pictures, ofcourse, because we were swimming, haha but yeahh it was pretty tight! After swimming I went to the movies with my dad and Em! We decided to go see G.I. Joe. I just have to say it was.... AWESOME!!! It was very intense :) haha I have to admit that some of the lines were a bit cheesy but hey, most of the movies I like are a bit cheesy!!! haha ;) It was a really really really good movie though! haha and the main G.I. Joe, Duke, made the movie a whole lot better!! haha ( you'll find out when you see the movie) haha ;) Sorry that this post was a bit boring, my next post should be more fun to read! haha :)
