You don't have to be crazy to hang out with our family, we'll train you.

Yesterday morning my mother and aunt informed me that after work I'd be heading to Taber to a party at a mansion. You only live once so I decided sure why the heck not. Let me start off by telling you, us Parker's ya...we ain't normal and nor will we ever be. Enough said. Reed gave us a tour of the mansion and well...we couldn't help but be jealous of it. Overall we had a good time & a ton of laughs.

My dessert. Also testing out my new camera. Almost looks to good to eat eh? 

One of my many strange strange cousins. But we love him. Tyler.

Another weird cousin, we love her too. STEEPHAAANIIE!

I've seen birds perched on people's shoulders but this right here...that's a first. 

The Last Night

So yesterday as me and the guys (Dallin, Aaron, Colton, Kenzie and me, minus Austin) were driving to Waterton we realized it was the last night we had together before we all went our seperate ways for the summer. We decided we'd make the best of it, with no plan. As soon as we got to Waterton the first place we headed to was Weiners of Waterton. If you know us food is always on our minds, so of coarse we went some where to eat first. Let me say THE BEST PLACE EVER!!! They put crushed chips on your hot dogs and a full pickle, blew me away. After that we went to play tennis, we all suck except for Dallin so watching him play his dad made us feel cheap but we still had a blast. Pretty much after tennis we just winged it. If you got Aaron with you I'll tell ya we're most likely going to be up to no good seeing as he yells at any wild life and names each and everyone of them. Haley and I very much enjoyed having water fights with random little boys and trying to steal their water guns when they weren't looking. My favorite part of the night probably would be when we had the contest to see who could stand in the freezing glacier water the longest. I was in the final two, and I lost to Dallin...ONLY BECAUSE HE PULLED MY FOOT OUT! We stood in there for over an hour. Walking was difficult afterward, but overall an amazing last night with the guys. Here's some pictures of our night :)

Starting out the contest

This happened to be our signature pose. No idea why we just started doing it. 

The final two!...and we remained in that same spot for over an hour. 

This guy right here can make you happy no matter what. 

Me & Aaron...ya we can't just stand there and smile, it's not in us. 

Aaron: KIARA DID YOU ACTUALLY TOUCH IT!?

Kiara: Did you feel it?

Aaron: Nope

Kiara: Then you'll never know ;) 

3 years!

Yesterday was the 3 year mark for me moving to this small town Cardston, AB. I'm not going to lie 3 years ago I was miserable, I was going from living in cities my whole life to a small town. Thankfully I adjusted to it. I don't know how I would have turned out without this place. Yesterday also made me realize a lot, I have the most amazingly, crazy, fun friends out there. I spent the day with two of my best friends Charlie Weston and Kayden Kartchner. We were out of our minds bored and somehow I ended up braiding Kayden's entire head. He insisted we keep it in because he "liked the feel of it". My mom's reaction when she got home from work was one worth remembering. Kayden got a kick out of it at least. She walked into the kitchen thinking he was a girl, her reaction was even worse when she realized who it really was. We also went gopher hunting which was a good time right there. Like I said before I adjusted to this small town. I'mma hick now.
