Hello clear waters

Bieber Fever?

I only love one boy right now.

And that's

Justin Bieber!

I went to the NeverSayNever

midnight premiere

with a bunch of friend's for

Maddie's party!

We had a ton of fun,

and who knew I could

become even more obsessed with him?

Now I need to get

rid of all that junk

I had this weekend.

Thank goodness for training tomorrow!

Aunt June

Today my great aunt, June passed away.

I'll never forget her,

she was such a strong lady and always so happy.

I'll never forget how she always

wore pink lipstick,

when we would talk about basketball,

when I went to visit her house,

when I brought her to a basketball game,

when she rescued a dog from Hurricane Katrina.

She battled lung cancer for a few months,

but it got to her.

But now I know she's in a better place,

and I can't wait to see her when it's my time.

I'm glad I knew when it was my final

goodbye this summer.

I knew it was gonna be my last

hug and kiss goodbye and I'll never forget it.

I got to talk to her through video chat

this Thanksgiving and at my sister's wedding,

and I'm so happy I had the chance to

before it was too late.

Aunt June you'll be missed

and never forgotten.

others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil"

Rewind Please?

"Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble

with the world, too many people grow up.

They forget."

~Walt Disney

8th grade year felt like a blur to me, now that I realize it.

It felt like it was such a long school year but

now I wish it went by longer, I miss junior high.

I miss all the teachers, not having a ton of homework

and just having fun.

I love high school, but it's not the same,

I have to focus more on school work

and there's countless hours of homework every week.

I wish I could rewind my life back when I was

younger, or at least pause it for a little.

My mom always told me to enjoy my teenage years,

and now I'm finally realizing that I should be,

because I'll soon be graduating and

I'll be on my way to the real world

working and going to college.

I always wanted to be older than I was,

but now that I'm a teenager there's

nothing special about it, besides

having more freedom. I wish I could

have stayed a kid a little longer and

wouldn't have looked into the present so much.

I'll make sure to enjoy these last three and

half years left of high school, because after

that there's not much fun for awhile.

Sunkissed

So me and this girl Sarah went to Mexico together,

for fall break,

and lets just say we had some pretty crazy times!

I had so much fun in Mazatlan and

laughed so hard!

That's the trip where we drove our parents crazy,

the trip where we went hunting for alligators,

the trip when we spied on celebs,

the trip where I almost lost my life,

the trip where I actually got a tan,

the trip I held a dead fish,

and the trip I'll never forget!

~Kylee Rae : )

Sorry for my blog being ugly right now,

I'm redoing it.

Again.

Love, Amour, Liefde, Dashuri, Amore,

So a post is wayy over due,

I've just been super busy with school!

Well I promised I'd post some wedding pictures from

my brother's wedding, and here are some

amazing ones that Christopher Paxman took!

I'll never forget the day my brother got married,

I had an amazing time,

it was the perfect wedding.

My sister is getting married in November and I cannot wait

to have as much fun as I did at my brother's wedding!

New York City!

I always love going back to New York ever winter and summer!

This summer it was even better because I got to bring my best friend Kendall!

I've never had so much fun in my life!!

We did so much in three days,

we got there on 4th of July and got to see the most amazing fireworks ever!!

The next day we went on a double-decker bus tour around the city,

go to a huge Forever 21,

visit 3 different candy stores,

walk around Times Square,

bike around Central Park,

eat in Little Italy,

and go on top of the Empire State Building at night!!

We did so much in one day and I am so glad we got to see most of the city!

The sixth was our last day there and we went to Canal Street

and bought purses for our backpacks!

That day we drove back to Connecticut!

New York City was amazing,

I don't think I've laughed so much in my life

and I will never forget this trip ever with my best friend!!

~ Kylee Rae : )

pictures of New York

Moving : (

Mayce & I

Maddy & I

Moving is such a sad topic : (

And two of my friends are moving this month

THREE DAYS after Christmas!!

And I won't even get to say goodbye to them on their last day because I'll be out of town!

Well these two girls are Maddy and Mayce

and I just met them this year and I've became very close to them in the past three months

It's sad for them to move....

I'll remember all the fun times in drama and art,

and when we went shopping together,

and the parties when went to together,

when we got in a lot of trouble at the movies,

and our memorable photo shoots

I love you girls so much!! And I never want you to move!!!!!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Awwhhh..... I just watched probably one of the best movies ever,

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I've only watched the second version once and I never really liked it, I preferred the old version

But I gave the new version a second chance and I loved it!

{ Even though I still like the first version better}

I wish I was still little when I thought everything was how it was in movies, and how I always

thought candy factories really looked like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

It's sad looking back and how naive we were and how we thought the world was perfect.

I want to go back being a little kid and have no worries.

I always thought growing up to be a teenager would be so much fun but it really didn't turn out how amazing I though it would be.

Being a teenager is fun and exciting but it's nothing like being a little kid.

Whenever you need to get away from the real world watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

It makes you feel little again, it makes your imagination run wild!!

When I was watching this movie I was thinking like a little kid again, how awesome it would be to visit a factory like this, and the cool glass elevator that could go up, down, and sideways, and chocolate fountains, and all the different rooms!

Let's just the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is

AMAZING

I love it now!

~Kylee Rae : )

IM BACK!!!!

I'm back!!!

And boy do I have A LOT to talk about!!

I am so sorry for not blogging!!

I am so busy!! Talk about a busy schedule,

basketball on Mondays from 630-830, Tuesdays at 5-6,Wednesdays off : )

Thursdays 5-6 then 630-830, Fridays off : ) Saturdays games, Sundays 12-130!

So I've been very busy between school,homework,basketball,and friends and family!!

Hmmmm well lets see the last I really blogged was when I was going on fall break!

Well San Francisco is AMAZING!!! I had so much fun!!

China town, cable cars, shopping, golden gate bridge, and just the city alone!!

It's absolutely amazing : ) I love San Fran!!

Well in Seattle we went to a lot of cool places!! We crossed the golden gate bridge 2 times : )

The weather could've been better but it was still so cool! I love the houses there very old but so chic and cute!! Oh and I forgot we drove down LOMBARD

STREET!!! One of the crook-idist streets!! And probably the prettiest street in San Fran!! After a few days in San Fran it was time to leave and go to Napa! Napa was pretty, with a bunch of hills,vineyards, greenery, and so many cute country homes!! I liked it there but I would never be able to live there, it's too small and there are too many retired couples there! Na

pa was fun though, I got to see my dad's new winery, and I also got to go to a release party, which was a lot of fun! I babysat the cutest girl while I was at the party, her name was Parker and probably the best baby I have ever seen!

Alright so recent news.....

~I got a new phone! : )

My dad got me an iPhone :D

~Me and Kendall had a good Halloween, went to a party, left went on a hay ride for about 20 minutes, and then had the most fun with her niece and nephews! I love those kids!!

~I'm so stoked for Christmas!! Yes I know it's a little too early

to be thinking about it but I can't wait!!! I want to have a photoshoot with my cousins playing in the snow!! And just taking pictures of all my family!!

~I need a new blog layout my blog never seems finished!! So I need to catch up on that!!

~I need new albums to come out!!! MGMT needs to come out with their new album asap!! I love their music but can their album come faster!! And the Ting Tings are amazing!! They need to get some new singles and maybe possibly a new album?! And a song I am obsessed with right now is "Wake up" by Arcade Fire it's a very good song and I think you should listen to it!! ; )

Well I think that's it for now!! I will keep you updated when I have the time : )

Here's some pics of San Fran, Napa, and Halloween : )
