Why, hello there...

 
Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. But thanks to my mother who pointed out my slacking on my blogging, here is a new post.

My last days of school were great. I was a little sad to have completed my freshman year, but I savored my last couple of days. Here are a few pictures:

 
It was a sad but great few days!

After my last day I had my friend Mikayla over and we went to take photos. They turned out really cute, if I may say so myself.

     
 The next day we helped my third grade teacher, Mrs. Wheeler.

 
I had a great time helping! Third graders are so funny. Hard to believe I was one of those.

The next Monday we left to go to Palm Desert and the day afterwards to Scottsdale. My mom, sister, and I went scrapbooking in Mesa on Tuesday. Then we went to Indulge Burgers, which may have been(no, it WAS!) the best burger I've ever had. So if you're ever in Scottsdale, AZ, I recommend it one hundred percent!

The next day we went horseback riding here. It was absolutely amazing! It was two hours long and we rode in a group along a trail up in the Sonoran Desert. I definitely recommend trying it out yourself. We had a great guide who was a cool little cowboy. He was very interesting and personable. If you'd like to see some more pics and read more visit my mother's blog here.

We went to Sprinkles a couple of times and got some shots(buttercream, of course).

 
On Thursday we went to Salvation Mountain. It was really cool and we got to meet the guy who built it, Leonard Knight.

  
 We went home on Friday.

Oh, before I go, thought I'd share a few pics of my wonderful grandmothers. We went to their house on Saturday for breakfast.

 
Pretty cute, right?

Thank you guys for reading! I'll try to post more often from now on! Thanks, Hailee:)

Summer is coming...

And I am ready! School has been so busy lately and I have been a terrible blogger. I just want to soak up summertime and travel, shop, hang out with friends, and just have fun. Classes can be so stressful so it's good that there's a nice long break.

Lately (like I said), I've been caught up in my studies. But now that things have been winding down I have some time to finally post. Here are a few cute things for the summer:

 
Cute shirts from here.

 

Shorts from here.

 

Sunglasses from here.
 
My favorite lip gloss from here.

 
And for fun memory keeping over the summer, I recommend the instax cameras from here.

Yes, that wasn't the most exciting post. But I'll be back soon (hopefully) to post some pics of the last couple days of school and other stuff. Bye! <3 hAILEE

Christmas...and my life lately...

I know, I know I'm the WWB (world's worst blogger). So I've decided I would post, but not by any force, of course. (Ahhemm...except a Ms. Bricky perhaps. =P) So here it is. Lately I've been up to my neck in exams and finals. But now that it's Christmas break I have a little time to relax and have fun. (Although I do have to read an act of Shakespeare. Procrastination, anyone?) One of my favorite classes this year actually has to do with physical education. Here is my P.E. class:

 

It's a really fun class I may add =P. Anyways, I have also been in the Christmas spirit. This weekend we went to Berkeley and San Francisco and had an awesome time. We went shopping, saw the Christmas lights in Union Square, and had quite a nice dinner at CPK. We also had Christmas tea at Crown and Crumpets. It was a very fun trip and I wish I had pictures to share with you but I'm afraid I flaked on the picture-taking.

I have been getting my presents ready for the holidays and I'm finally ALMOST done. Here's a look at the mess I make when wrapping gifts:

 
Yeah, it's a mess. And I STILL have presents yet to wrap. Yikes! Only four days left and I have a ton still to do. Humbug!

Hmmmm.... Well, I don't have much to say as of now. I'll post soon to give you a recap on Chritmas and stuff. Happy Holidays to everyone! TTYL, hAILEE

I was intrigued...

 
...and I had to try it.

Yep, Bubble Tea.  I have to admit, the tea was really sweet and had great flavor.  I'd definitely get that part again.  But I couldn't get over the tapioca balls in it.  They didn't taste like anything, but they were kinda slimy and weird.  I told my parents, "Well I would love to get the tea again," and got the, "Then it wouldn't be bubble tea," response.  Well, whatever.  I went to high school orientation today.  It was a bit different than what I'm used to, but it wasn't too bad.  I think I might want to go to the back to school dance.  Maybe... Well, I better go.  Bye, hAILS

And the winner is...

Hi everybody.  Sorry it took so long, but I picked a winner.  Before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that since yesterday we've had 170 pageviews and 32 comments.  I'm in shock with such a great turnout.  The winner is:

My Aunt Dina!  Her favorite candy is a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!

Thank you guys so much for participating!  It was really fun reading your comments.  I look foreward to more giveaways and anniversaries.  Hah!  I'll be back later with more.  Bye, hAILS

Random Facts About Myself

Hi everyone!  For my last post I thought I'd give you seven (my fave number, remember?) facts about myself.

1. I save the marshmallows for last when I eat Lucky Charms.

2. My favorite band is Green Day.

3. I had eye surgery when I was two. 

4. I want to live in this house when I grow up. It's in Pacific Grove!

5. Converse are my favorite shoes.

6. I want to get my doctorate in English Lit., then become a professor at UC Berkeley.  While I'm a professor I want to write books.

7. My favorite vegetable is Asparagus.

Well if that said anything about me, it probably was that I have many different tastes. (In EVERYTHING!) Thanks for reading.  I hope you enjoyed my seven posts.  Make SURE to leave a comment and post your fave candy.  I have a box of goodies to give.  I'll post the winner tomorrow!  Good Evening!  Mint Juleps are delicioso!  (That was random, I'm not even drinking one.) Bye, hAILS

Sweet Tooth

I asked you your favorite candy, so what is my sweet treat?  Well, I have a few:

 
M&Ms

Skittles

Reese Sticks

And last, but not least, cupcakes!  These are from Sprinkles.  Don't you just love Sprinkles Cupcakes?  If you've never been there, then you need too.  No, you MUST!  Haha.  More later, hAILS

My New Favorite Color

Fifth post: Mint Green.  My new favorite color.  It is so cute!  On anything!  Look at the nail polish:

Isn't it pretty?  I' have the Nicole by O-P-I.  It is SOOOOOOOO PRETTY!  I got it for graduation.  What do you guys think?

I think the polka dots are pretty cute too.  My mom painted my nails and used a white design pen for the dots.  I really like mint green nail polish.  But these things from Etsy are pretty cute too:

 

 

Pretty cute, huh?  I looooovvvvveeeee mint green!  It's so awesome.  I think my theme for Christmas this year will be mint green and red.  That should look cute.  More later, hAILS

Abby's Birthday

4th post: Abby's 11th birthday!  She's getting old too fast!  She had a party for family and a separate party for friends.  She went with a cute peace and owl theme.  It looked super cute!  She looked cute, too, in her David and Goliath T-shirt.  Here are some pictures:

Abby with her presents.

Happy Birthday Abbs.  You're getting too old.  Love you.  More later, hAILS

Dad's Birthday

3rd Post: Dad's Birthday.  The big 4-O.  We went to Monterey and had a really fun day.  We started by having breakfast at Famous Eddie's Diner in Los Banos.  It was pretty good.  Then we drove to Monterey/Pacific Grove.  We looked around, went to a lighthouse, had lunch at a really good chowder house, got cupcakes and coffee, and overall had an awesome day.  Here are some pictures:

The lighthouse.

Different angle.

Calamari.

Ewwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaa!  Tentacles!
