Sunday games night

I feel like blogging.
Today is Sunday. Well actually now it is Monday but I'm still going to blog about the night. 

Tonight my dad made lasagna (he makes delicious lasagna) and homemade ice cream. I helped cut up the strawberries- and learned that strawberries are my favorite fruit.

Tarl, Ashkia, Bryant, and Annie all came over to enjoy the Sunday evening with us. We all ate our lasagna and homemade ice cream and had so much left over (as usual, we always make too much).

Once it got dark, and we got bored- we decided to play games. We played Bang, which I never REALLY played, since I'm not a big fan of card games, but we played. Bryant, Annie, Ashkia, Tarl, Ollie and I. 

I thought that since it was a card game, I would be bored laying down cards the whole time but let me tell you, I got into it. We played round after round after round- we all had such a fun time laughing at eachother and just being happy. This lasted for a while but then we moved on to another game called Quelf.

Quelf is a more interactive game and SO MUCH FUN when you have a lot of fun people playing with you. We spent the rest of the night answering ridiculous questions, putting on little performances, laughing and laughing. Ashkia and I had to slow dance, Ollie did his own version of "belly dancing" for us- mom wrote a funny poem, the list continued of different ways to make us all laugh.

I like spending time with my family, and it's so much fun to see Ashkia and Annie come over tonight and add their own part in our big (and still getting bigger) crazy, weird, happy family. I like us.

Bits and Peices

Every summer, my porter cousins come to Utah for a month or so for a reunion. I have a few cousins that are my age- so it's nice for them to come because they're pretty much just like my best friends. My cousin Emmy took a lot of pictures of us this year, so I thought I'd share some with you guys. 





Here  my cute cous Gracie and I in PC. After a journey to the closest smiths- we found some glitter and decided to take some pictures at da park. 



We went to sweet tooth fairy and bought some cute cookies


Took some more pictures at the park



Our great grandpa wanted to take us all out for lunch at BYU 


And for dinner we went to a "chrishna" temple. In the back they had lots of llamas and parrots and peacocks. 


The parrot was SUPER creepy. So what it would do is it would stick its foot out and motion for you to put your finger in it. So of course I made my cousin savanna do it. So she put her finger in and it held for a second and then it lifted her finger up to its mouth and started trying to bite it off. So...traumatized. 

Here is the temple


Anyway- that is a little part of my summer. So far so fun.
