Halloween!

My Halloween was so much fun, I had a couple of friends over (see in pic) and we went trick or treating. After going in the COLD weather, we wacthed a Halloween movie! Than after that, instead of exchanging our candy, we played a game called "31" and and gambled out our candy... we're bad kids:). I was Lady Mogana from the movie Merlin, Sophie was a goth and I forgot what Madeline was.     

I hope everyone had a safe, fun Halloween!

Good Works Value Project

For Young Women in Excellence, we need to do a value project to show. These projects need to take at least ten hours. I'm doing mine on good works. This is how my personal progress book explains it: Prepare to be a homemaker by collecting recipes, shopping for food, and preparing meals for your family. So far, I have spent three hours collecting recipes, shopping for food, and preparing two meals. I will continue making dinner every afternoon  until I have completed ten hours worth. I think this is a really neat kind of project to do, and it's fun too. I like making dinners and setting the table to make it look pretty. It's really neat.

Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center

Yesterday, since we had the day off of school for parent teacher conference, my mom took us up to West Yellowstone and we spent the day up there, We first went to an amazing hotel where our cousins were staying. The hotel room was actually more like a hotel house. It had a separate kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. Also, in the living room, there was a bed that pulled out from the wall. Anyway, we talked for a while and ate lunch, and then spent about an hour and a half at the swimming pool and spa. It wouldn't have been as fun, though, if we hadn't brought our two beach balls with us. They served as our flotation devices.

After swimming, we went across the street to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. This was a really cool place like a zoo, but it only had grizzly bears and wolves. The bears were so much bigger than I ever imagined, but they looked so soft. Don't worry, I would never go up to a bear just because it looked soft. The wolves were snowy white, and they just walked around the rocks in there habitat. One even walked right below the platform we were standing on. They were BEAUTIFUL! Inside a little cabin to the side, we could see a wolf walk by the windows. Clara absolutely loved the statue of a wolf inside the cabin. She especially liked sticking her finger up his nose. Oh well, it's better than sticking it up her own nose.

The Temple

After church today, I was interviewed by the first counselor in our bishopric for my temple recommend. My last one was only one use and I used it, but I also lost it. So, I needed a new one. I did "pass the test", and now am able to go do baptisms at the temple as much as I want for one year. I've decided I am going to go, and as often as I can get my parents to let me. I'm so glad!

This is SO true!

Fall Pics

As you can see, there's a total stranger in the picture, yes, that would be my grandpa. Yesterday, we went up into the mountains and took some family fall pictures. My grandpa came from Denmark and is with us now. I love showing him Utah and all the wonderful places to visit here. So don't be surprised when you see him in some of our fall pictures. So, just here are some of our fall pictures...

My friend, Sophie, from school wanted to see my grandpa so atleast here is a picture of him. This is for you Sophie.

All the folks in my family except for my dad (who was taking the picture).

Me

My dad and my grandpa.

This post is seriously all for you Sophie. I keep on telling Sophie about my grandpa at school, so I think it's fair that she get's to atleast see some pictures of him:).  

Yes, Welcome!

Thanks for that introduction, Emma! She pretty much said it all. This is a best friend blog, and we hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy writing it. I live in Rexburg, Idaho, and Emma lives in Provo, Utah. We'll try to post about anything and everything we could possibly need to write about, and we hope it's fun!

Welcome to Sophia and Emma's Blog!

Welcome everybody! This is Sophia's and Emma's "Best Friends Foever" blog. How this idea came up was that Sophia had to move to Idaho before school started which was the sadest thing ever because we were going to go to Jr. High together; and my family bought our house so we're not moving anywhere. One night I (as in Emma) came over to Sophia's house late the night before she left to move to say goodbye. So ever since she moved, we would write letters, emails, and comment on each other's blog more often. So by email, we wrote to eachother that we wanted to make a blog together where we can both post post's. Don't you think it was a good idea?!? Anyway, I miss you Sophia so much!
