Happy Birthday Ron!!!/Constellations

So last night was pretty much the best night ever. 

You know you've done robin egg lipstick before ;) I think everyone has :D

Beautiful 

Oh dear... 

Hailee fell up the stairs... twice... in one trip... we pretty much balled our eyes out from laugher because her, Ash, and I were all trying to run up the stairs so we could see Karlys' expression as she looked into her room because... 

Gavin asked her to prom last night!

Here is how he did it- 

He bought the glow in the dark stars you put on your celling and glow in the dark tape. His idea- to write "they will see us waving from such great heights" on her celling with the tape and stars. So cute right?! No. You don't even get why it's so cute. Karly is in love with constellations, astronomy, and stars. She also loves her music as we all know, so the song lyrics were a perfect idea. I think the song has some meaning to them behind it as well... 

I'm not done with the cuteness yet guys! 

The theme to prom this year is- SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS. 

No. I'm totally not kidding. 

Plus- Gavin thought of this all on his own! What a champ! 

He knows her way too well, don't cha think? 

So he came over while Karly was at her dress rehearsal (which lasted 4 hours... so we had plenty of time). At first we were going really slow. We put the stars on first and then connected the dots with the tape. So we had one star at every point in the letter. It was taking forever. We would measure how far away the stars were with our tape, then cut the tape, the unstick the tape (it was kind of two sided so it took a while to get even a little bit off), then stick it on the celling. Sadly, it was only about halfway through that I figured out it was much easier to just pull the tape apart and put it directly on... this probably makes no sense... you know that tape where it is kind of like a sticker? You have to pulling it off and then there is a wrapper.... ok... this still probably makes no sense.... haha never mind. 

So after 2 hours (this is so not an exaggeration) we finally got it done! It took 4 people and still took that long. I'm so glad Gavin didn't do it by himself! He was so happy about it though. You could tell. He was just beaming the whole time. :) they kind of like each other ;) 

Then he also put rose petals all over her bed and then one rose. He wrote something on a paper (I'm too lazy to go and get it) about her finishing it... hahaha I can't remember. Oh well! It was really cute and it was fun to see how personal he made it, and how excited he was to make her happy. 

This is the celling in the light... 

Here it is in the dark. I wish a camera could actually capture what you see. This looks nothing like it... 

We waited and waited and waited for her to get home. 

While we waited we made this amazing cake for Ron Weasly's birthday! We were planning on making it for Hailee as a birthday cake before I left (even though her birthday is in June) and we thought yesterday would be perfect because it actaully was his birthday and she was sleeping over :) 

The beauty 

How cute :)

All of us blowing out the candles... we did this 3 times... until the candles had melted completely. And sang Happy Birthday every time. :)

 So now we are at the part where Hailee falls up the stairs. When Karl got home we waited for her to go upstairs. She took a while... but when she did we didn't notice at first so we ran up the stairs. We have a gate so our dog won't go upstairs. It's not too high...  for most people ha. Hailee didn't quite make it... hahahahaha we almost peed our pants laughing. Karly didn't even suspect anything. Probably because we were already acting like we were on crack... haha we videoed (is that a word.... I don't think so... oh well!) it as she walked in. But it's not that interesting so I didn't take the time to post it. She walked in and saw the rose petals on her bed and just gasped. We laughed and she tried to shut the door. She wasn't noticing the celling so we turned off the lights. She was still like... what the heck guys? The we yelled, "look up!" She looked up and was speechless. She loved it! We giggled and then ran in and laid on her bed gazing at it. We loved it so much. Hahaha. She was completely surprised and didn't suspect a thing!
We heard her say 30 minutes later, I don't even want to get into the shower because I'm so happy. That is true happiness right there people!

Look at her face:)

 You know how we have issues with fire... we left this candle burning when we chased Karly up the stairs. Good thing we didn't burn our house down! My mom sent us all a text saying- "do you want me to blow this out?" we freaked out and laughed pretty hard ;) 

In fact.. we have so many issues with fire, I had to make a label for it.

The sequel to- If you play with fire you will probably burn something (or someone this time)

Here is the sequel to If you play with fire you will probably burn something

We seriously do not know how to jump a car. Here's the story:

Karly is still kind of learning how to drive the stick. My mom has started making her drive it every single day to school. 

She drove the whole way to school with the emergency break all the way on... I don't know how someone could do that, but she said that she was too distracted to even notice. Ashley even had to tell her to turn on her lights... that one is understandable though. Our other car has automatic lights, and I guess you don't have to put on the emergency break hardly ever either. I asked her if she noticed the bright red light that said break on it... she said again that she was too distracted. 

So they made it to school... both of them said that it smelled SO bad... (the tires were like burning of course).

But Karly left the lights on. 

The car died.

We had to come and jump the car for them after Ashley and Katelyn were done with practice (Karl rode the bus home). 

I called Brock because... well... he was a boy and thought that he could help. I had jumped a car before, but I couldn't remember how to do it exactly. He said that he hadn't really done it except for once a while ago, but we could figure it out.

We got there... started hooking chords up, but the last one sparked so bad Brock couldn't even clamp it. 

So then he called his mom and she said that we were doing it right. We had the Mazda on and were hooking them the right way. So- we did it again and it worked. 

Brock's mom said to let it sit for a while. We did before turning on the dead car. But we wanted to sit in the car because it was really cold outside.
30 seconds later I see Lexi, Katelyn, and Ashley just sprinting from the car... I looked and saw that the chords were smoking!!

Here is it smoking... (Yes, we were taking pictures the whole time. Just like the candle incident )

We ran out there but didn't know what to do because they were hot but we needed to get them off! Brock found a sock and got one sort of off... but it burned through right away... I scrambled and found an ace bandage (don't know why that was in the car...) he wrapped it thick and then got the other chords off. 

They had melted all the way down. Almost all the plastic was off the chords... 

We called our mom. She didn't believe us for a while. 

Brock burned his thumb from when it had gone through the sock. It smelled of beef ramen noodles... 

Then we tried to push start it. 

We pushed it up and down the parking lot at least 5 times. We were so tired! It almost worked twice... then as we were about to go up the hill again a nice man (I think he was a principal or something) asked us if we needed help. We asked him if he could jump the car. 

He had a huge truck and all he did was hook the chords up the SAME way Brock did, but he didn't have his truck on. It started right up and was fine.... 

The reason that the chords melted was because our Mazda had too much power with the car on. Plus it had a bran new battery sooooo that's why the chords melted.

Stuff like this always happens when we hangout with Brock ;) 

It worked :) 

If you're wondering how my mom felt about this... it was also the same as the candle incident... she laughed. Hard. She thought it was hilarious that we almost blew up both cars and could have potentially killed ourselves (if we want to go that far ;)) 

We just know how to have fun I guess... haha 

If you play with fire- you will probably burn something

The 3rd of July was a big adventure for us.

I spent the day shopping with my mom and Ash for my birthday. 

Then I talked with Makelle, Christina, and Ash for a while. 

We then went swimming at Jackie's pool. 

Then we went skinny dipping (not really. We took off our bottoms and swung them around. 

We planned our bear lake trip. 

We planned when we would really go skinny dipping. 

We planned to make a bucket list. 

We then drove around looking for a place to skinny dip and swim. 

We couldn't find one. 

So, we tried to visit someone, walked into their house, and they weren't there. Embarrassing.

Then we went to the store to get chocolate for smores. 

Here is where it gets interesting:

We didn't have any firewood (later we learned that we really did), but we still wanted smores.  So, we got some little candles that we had and sat on our table outside to roast them. It wasn't working very well because the marshmallows were really stale. But, Brock had this genius idea... we were doing sparklers that were huge and they had wood on the end that we could break up to make a little fire. So then we could roast our marshmallows better (hardly). The only problem- I stuck my legs out and felt hot wax drip on my leg. We all freaked out because the candles were burning through the table! Ash is so smart and grabbed the hose. But, when she sprayed it on, it just got bigger! Luckily one of us that wasn't just standing there watching was actually smart enough to go and get some flour. Thanks to Jackie our house didn't burn down. Brock took the flour and poured it on it. Good thing it worked. We basically just made a huge hole in our table. Good fun. 

Then we laid on the tramp for a while wrapping each other up in the blanket and whipping them out like a ride. Then we had like 7 blankets and we all put our feet in the middle to stay warm. It was so much fun! 

It's a really good thing that my mom is chill about the whole thing. I'm just glad it was a holiday the next day, I think that helped.
