bored. . .

HI!! Just wanted to say hi and that I'm REALLY bored!! Yesterday we went over to friends from Utah that just moved to Mesa. It was pretty fun. I was finally allowed to read some of Breaking Dawn. Let's just say, it isn't as good as I had hoped. And it's WAY different than I wanted it to be! I think Stephenie Meyer could have done better. :( Well that's about all I have to say . :)

What do you think?

Okay so I found this song and I wanna know if you like it. Here's the lyrics:

Does He Feel The Way I Do?

Verse 1
The way he walks, the way he talks has a way of givin' me that
feelin': butterflies inside, shy smiles outside. My heart beats faster
and faster, louder and louder. Again and again I wonder . . . (chorus 1)

Chorus 1
Does he feel the way I do? Do his heart have room in there for me?
If he could ask one question would he ask if I love him too? Would
he be proud to hold my hand? Would he kiss away my tears? Would
he show me that he loves me by telling me it's gonna be alright? Does
he, does he feel the way I do?

Verse 2
I ask him questions but my efforts go unnoticed. To him I'm just the shy
girl and nothing more. I wish he would give me a chance to prove I'm not
this mask that's hiding me! That's when I wonder . . . (chorus 1)

Bridge
I'd give anything for him to see the real me and not who I'm pretending
to be. If only he knew how much I care, how much I cry over him, how
much I wish he would wonder . . . (chorus 2)

Chorus 2
Does she feel the way I do? Does her heart have room in there for me?
If she could ask one question would she ask if I love her too? Would she
be proud to hold my hand? Would she kiss away my tears? Would she
show me that she loves me by telling me that is gonna be alright? Does
she, does she feel the way I do?

HOME!!

We're finally home!!!! It is SOOO good to be home! Two weeks is just WAY too long. Well its good to be in Casa Grande and to see my friends and my daddy. Sedona and Utah were way fun and I'm glad I got to go this summer. I can't believe summer is almost over! School starts NEXT week! It has come too soon, but it will be good to be back in school. I have about half of my school clothes bought. I got about 5 pairs of shorts and 1 shirt when we were in Utah. So I need to shop for shirts. I have bad news..... I was getting all my stuff ready to leave for home. I quickly grabbed my phone, my phone charger, and all the stuff that was at the table next to the bed I was sleeping in. We are about 4 hours into the trip and Chris calls and I find out that I took HIS phone charger instead of mine! So my phone is dead and I probably won't get my charger for another week. GRRRR!! So if you try to text me and I don't answer, thats why!

As almost all of you know, I have been taking singing lessons. In singing lessons, we are to choose a song that we want to learn/sing/perform for the class. Last time, I chose "Love Song" by Sara Bareilles. I have been looking and looking but I just can NOT find a song that would be good for me to sing! This is where I need everyone's help! I want to sing a song that is somewhat challenging, but not so much that I can't sing it. :) Preferably a song that I can sing in my chest voice range (which I can sing up to a high D without switching to head) . . . NO swear words please. Please help!! :) Comment with your suggestions. THANKS! Have an AMAZING day!

Right now at this very second, I am in Clinton, Utah at my grandma's house! YAY! The ride can, in NO words, be described as "fun" or "exciting". More like "LOOOOOONG" and "car sick"! After we said goodby's to our family in Sedona, we headed out towards the canyon. Not 5 minutes into the canyon and Morgan throws up [from motion sickness from the turns and stuff in the canyon]. About 15 minutes after that [we are still in the canyon], I throw up! Then not even 10 minutes after that, Mason throws up! It was inSANE! At least there were no other "accidents" after that fun half of an hour! After about 10-12 hours of non-stop driving, we arrive at Steph's house. We spend the night at her house. Baby Cameron and big-brother Noah are sooo cute! It was fun seeing them. Then we drove the hour drive to Grandma's house in Clinton. There we saw the rest of the family. We get to stay in Chris' room. :) Yesterday was the 2nd day at Grandma's house. Since it was Sunday, we woke up at 9:00 and went to church at Grandma's ward, which, much to my surprise, was REALLY REALLY small! I guess I had forgotten how small the wards in Utah really are! There were no more than 3 Beehives, 2 Deacons, and 10 Young Women all together! It was crazy. The chapel was a lot different than ours, too. :) After that, we hung out at the house. At 5:00, we had a family dinner with all the aunts and uncles and cousins. The hamburgers were delicious! After that, Whitney [my aunt] cut Morgan's hair short. It is so cute! But I think Morgan was a little surprised to find out that she can't fit her hair into a ponytail anymore! Then Whitney cut my hair! She only took 1 inch off the length, but she put in lots more layers. She also cut my bangs shorter. After the cut, she surprised me by saying, "I want to put blonde highlights in." It took some convincing on my mom's part, but at about 9:00, I was getting my first highlights EVER! I was sooo excited to see what they looked like. Although, I wasn't quite sure about the color of them. They were just blonde and I didn't know if I would be able to see them since my hair is blonde. Boy, was I wrong! :) I absolutely love the way it turned out! I will post pictures of my hair at a later date.

I am having a good time, but I miss Casa Grande, my dad, my friends, and Jasper! :) (Jasper is my cat). Well I hope everyone has a fabulous day!

We made it!!! Whoooo hooo!!! After a very fun time at the grand canyon, we came here to Sedona for a family reunion. We had rented a HUGE house. When we walked into the house we all gasped because it was SOOO much better than we had expected. There are 7 bedrooms (about) and each room is decorated differently. Our room is at a lower level and there is a window as the wall so we have a surrounding view of the trees around the house and stuff. The house is gorgeous. There is an upstairs and a huge backyard with a swimming pool. In the backyard there is a hiking trail and a maze and a kiva with an outside room and everything! When I get home, I will post a video tour and a bunch of pictures of the house. I have to go right now, but I will post when i can! :)  

Happy Birthday to me!!

Yesterday was my 13th birthday! Katie slept over Friday and helped me out with my party when it came around. I got to open my first bday present at about 10:00. And it was a cell phone!! I love it soooo much! It is a Samsung Myshot. Here's a picture:


I love it so much! Isn't it amazing?? My birthday party was fun, too. Everyone came and we had chicken enchiladas for dinner (made by mom). Then we went to the mall and started the scavenger hunt. There were two teams. My team ended up losing, but who cares? It was my fault! :( When I wrote the scavenger hunt, in one challenge they had to find some items. And I didn't check if they actually had the items in the store because I didn't think it would be fair if I knew where everything was! But in one store, they ended up not having some of the items . . . oops! :( But I think it turned out to be fun. Afterwards, we had cake and I opened my presents. Thanks to all my friends that came!! You're the best!! I got a lot of Bath and Body Works stuff (which is good, cuz I LOVE Bath and Body Works), jewelry, and iTunes gift cards! Awesome, awesome, awesome!! I got A LOT of calls from family members, so THANKS!! I had an amazing birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy birthday to me! In about 3 days, I will celebrate the day of my birth. 13 years old on July 5 at precisely 11:04 a.m. I am having a party with some of my friends. It is themed "The Amazing Race". Here's what my invitation said:

Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in the Amazing Race! Compete against other teams for the prize. Join your friend, Kennedy Nightingale, on her special day in fun, clean, competition. The challenge will take place on Saturday July 5 at 5:30 p.m. Be prepared for a Mall Madness race of wit, speed, and endurance. The first leg of the race will be held at 1251 E. Prickly Pear St. in Cottonwood Ranch (the neighborhood across from Cactus Middle). So, are you game? If you have the courage to participate in this amazing race, RSVP to 520-426-0477 ASAP!

P.S. It IS a birthday party! :)

I wrote it and I thought it turned out to be pretty good. What we're going to be doing is we're going to the mall. They are given a list of different things they need to do in each store. And the first one done, wins. That's my party in a nutshell! :) I'm excited for my party. I think it will be fun!

Two days ago, I spent the day (literally) with my BFF Katie. She was having a party and I helped her get ready for it. The party itself was a lot of fun. We ate junk food, stayed up late, prank called boys :), and played party games. It was a lot of fun.

Memories

Story Time...
Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2.Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Background

Just so you know, my background is just plain white! My blog is experiencing some minor technical difficulties right now because no matter what layout I put on it, it always turns out to be white when I publish it. So, until I get it figured out, you're stuck with a plain white background! :)

Girl's Camp

I had so much fun at Girl's Camp! It was an amazing experience. I had a lot of fun spending time with my friends. The spirit was so strong. It was at Mount Lemmon in Tucson. It was a beautiful view. I got car sick on the way up the mountain and I threw up, so that wasn't fun. When we got there we took all of our gear to our campsite. We were at the very bottom of a hill. It was tiring to get up to the the stage and the Lodge (cafeteria) but we had a good view. I was roommates with my friend Sarah at first. Mikenna and Shanci were sharing a tent but they found a big spider in it so on the second day, Shanci slept in our tent. When Shanci went home because of a twisted ankle, Mikenna moved into our tent. It was fun staying up and talking and goofing off. The hike wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm a second year so we got the 5 mile hike. We went up the mountain and then came down, so coming down was easier. It was so pretty! There was a river and a bunch of trees and big rock formations.

Testimony Rock is a big ledge that overlooks the valley. A couple years ago, there was a fire that went in a complete circle around our campsite and you can see the burnt trees. You may not think it was pretty, but it was! Being there was an amazing feeling.

Thursday night, our bishopric came to camp and we had a testimony meeting. It was the most spiritual experience I have ever had. Everyone was in tears because of all the emotions. Our friendships were strengthened and we all grew to love each other more. We had KRISPY KREME DONUTS afterwards!! I hadn't had a Krispy Kreme in forever! It was delicious.

Friday on the drive home, we stopped for something to eat. I had Panda Express. We also bought Eegee's. Eegee's is delicious! They are kind of like slushies but they have a smoother texture. The orange flavor is the bestest!

I had a great experience at camp. I can't wait to go next year. I have a bunch of camp songs stuck in my head though! :) Arickabamboo! . . . . :) Here's just a few pictures. I'll post more pictures later.

My Mummy Brother

Okay, so today I was babysitting my brothers and sister while my mom was at work and we were doing our jobs. I was cleaning the downstairs bathroom, I come out and I find out that Mason has found the toilet paper. It is ALL over the house and he is wrapped up in it. "Look, Kennedy, I'm a mummy!" I was so mad that he had trashed the house AND wasted a whole roll of toilet paper, but it was so funny that I couldn't stay mad! I took a picture of him.
