Today I woke up at 4 in the morning because of a HUGE summer rain storm. For awhile I thought it was cool until I remembered Olive Oil ( our new tortoise's nick name you can see my moms blog to see more about her ) . For those of you who haven't seen her burrow it is like a big drain. Me and mom burst out of are rooms at the same time and ran out side. There was a huge puddle but barley any had got to her burrow. We where safe to brain storm on how to get her out. Or so we thought. Not five minuets later me and mom go check on her and she is completely covered in water!I stayed to watch her while mom ran to get something to pull her out. Meanwhile the rain is still pouring and that means more water. Mom woke dad up and then found a mop, fishing pole, and some electricians tape. I have no idea if she is dead or not and if she is alive how long she can hold her breath for. I held a flash light while mom tried to pull her out. Then Olive woke up and helped us by trying to climb out. We were so relived but what would have happened if we weren't home? Right now Olive Oil is in a small box in the boats, sports, and travel room sleeping away. and her burrow is completely filled with water. The rain has stopped now just in time for me to go to school. See you guess later and scroll down!

Hey sorry its been like three months since I've blogged! So you guys remember Jordan, right? The one who took me to Ms.America and to meet the Jo Bros? Well here is her latest unveil! She just joined the club and turned 13. She is Jewish which means she threw a HUGE bat mitzvah. It was at the Planet Hollywood Hotel Casino. She themed it like a club and called it JG-13. It was complete with a bar, DJ, dance floor, buffet, and a red carpet.

This is my red carpet picture. About ten minuets later we realized that we could go threw as many times as we wanted. I ended up taking 21 pictures this is just a sample......
The girl on the left is Jordan. You can see that after awhile we took our shoes off.
This is Katy and I hate getting my picture by her. I am 5' and she is about 5' 5". I am shorter than most of my friends too. Katy doesn't like to dance on the floor with us ( surprisingly she is a cheer leader though) and is shy. So she wouldn't strike a pose and as your about to see this is one of the mellower pictures.

This is me and Landrey doing our best imitation of Charlies Angels.

This is Emily the one person I am taller than. She can make a face like no tomorrow. This is one of my favorite pictures.

And this is Zoe she has the funniest personality ever! This was also one of the only times I will see her in a dress too.

Ok from left to right , Taylor, Jordan, me, and Emily.

These are my first best friends I made in Vegas. we've known each other since 4th grade.

From left to right, Landrey, Jojo, me, and Taylor.

In this picture we decided to pick someone up and i was the smallest!

This is all the people I knew at the party. Then later that night me and Taylor got to stay in the party suite. It had a view of the Beligio and one of the walls was just window it was so fun!

I saved the best for last, this is my favorite picture! Don't freak out the're Shirley Temples. This is me and Taylor.Kinda off topic but what i thought was so sweet was in the speech Jordan gave at the service she thank me and Taylor for being her friends!

For those of you that don't know I am kinda afraid of heights. Yet last year I went two times and I some how maneged to go climb a trail on red rock and come out unscratched. But that was last year. this Easter we climbed Ice Box Canyon, one of the hardest trails in Red Rock ( for bolder scrambling and it was 5 miles round trip). There was a small water fall at the end and deep ponds.

It didn't get to scary until the end, I lead the way to the water fall with every one truing to keep up at first. As you can see here we weren't even in the Canyon yet.
This is the bottom of the falls and even though it looks like me and Gage are higher up we are no more than 1 foot off the ground.

Then from where I was standing in the picture above I took this one. as you can see there is three levels to the falls. First where I was standing then the one above that then where the big pond is which is about sixty feet deep. It was about imposable to reach the top layer so we aimed for the bottom. ( which was about thirty of so feet up.)

Even though you can't see it here the edge is very close to me and this is where I officially went into semi-panic attack. In this picture I may be smiling but its just a cover up.

Well with mom and dads help I got up and over came my semi-panic attack. This is a picture I took of the smaller pond while mom & dad tried to figure out how to get the taller pond. Then mom came down to my level and waited for the next group of family's to come up. By that time there was just over ten people up there. Then mom says, " How are we going to get down?". There was four kids total up there now me and a boy from the other family being the oldest. We all got a little freaked out. Then me, having just recovered from my ascend up the rock, had a full fledged panic attack. I about refused to go down. But with Dad, Mom, a lady who I did not get the name of, and some encouraging words from gage I made it out unscratched.

I also made THE SWEETEST EASTER EGGS EVER but the pictures wont down load so I'll get back to you on those.

Hello! Just the other day my family went to Nevada Springs Preserve where they had all these cool exhibits about Las Vegas! This is one of the lizards that live in Nevada it is called a Gila Monster (its like 2ft long!)

This is a giant Tarantula it was so cool.

This was the worst part of the whole thing, it was so sad how they kept a fox pinned up like that.

I was so scared to take this picture I thought the flash would wake up the bats!

This is part of the flash flood exhibit which you will be hearing about later.....



That cactus was about as big as a house!


This turtle made us just want to get one more the stamp was sad though.
Me and Gage on a train with a bunch of statues that talked.

A little rabbit..


And this was the Flash Flood exhibit I was telling you about. Here in Vegas the ground wont soak up the water so it runs down the mountain. That causes floods like these and it can happen in minuets. ( P.S. not a real flood)
