Something to think about..



"It doesn't matter. They'll get lost, and that's the best way to discover interesting places. Try to fill your life again with a little fantasy; above our heads is a sky about which the whole of humanity has given various apparently reasonable explanations. Forget everything you've ever learned about the stars and they'll once more be transformed into angels, or into children, or into whatever you want to believe at that moment. It won't make you more stupid–after all, it's only a game–but it could enrich your life." -The Witch of Portobello

What I've Been Up To


haha here I have pictures to catch up with some of the things I have been up to lately...


New York


For a week in October me and my parents went with family on my dads side to New York. We did kind of a church history tour which was really cool. I saw were Joseph Smith lived and grew up, Sacred grove, Hill Camorah, were the priesthood was restored, the Palmirah temple, were the book of morman was published and many ther places. We even went into Canada and saw Niagra Falls... It was so awesome and I wanna go back cause it is so beautiful out there.



Our Birthdays

Me and Myles have very close birthdays... Both in October, his is on the 23rd and mine is on the 25th. So we always celebrate together. He turned 8 this year and im 17 now. haha yeah I know Im a baby but thats just how it is i guess... ha one more year! ;)



Family Pictures

Our family finally all found a time to get family pictures done. It was basically a miracle because we are all so busy. We had them taken down by the river by the farm. They turned out really good i thought. I think its so pretty with all of the color and pine valley mountain in the back.



Senior Ball

Ha this is me and my Senior Ball date (Erik Bylund). Hes quite the guy... haha We had so so much fun. People kept coming up to us and saying, "You and your date are hilarious!" We were just running aroound bein our crazy selfs. I really had a blast and I felt so pretty. Josie did my hair and it was freakin rad. It was up high and to one side with a peacock feather coming out of it. haha but we did kinda look like we were goin to a fineral in all of the black but whatev ha



Dixie State Fall Dance Company Concert


Well i've been dancing with these guys since school started and I have loved it so so much. It was just are final dance concert and it turned out so well.. Being at the college just about all day everyday rehearsing isn't the funnest but it definately worth it. The concert has all different styles of dancing, from ballet and point to hip hop. There is group peices, duets and even solos. It has so much variety that I love. All of the dances are choreographed by all different choreographers. So there is no one dance anything like another. Its over now and have been enjoying the break but i'll definately be really to start dancing again when school starts back up. I already miss them so much.. they become like your family :)







Christmas Tree Huntin


About a week after Thanksgiving the whole fam drove out to the Kaibab to get a Christmas tree. Except Tyler and Macy because Tyler was taking his EMT test. But just about everyone from my moms side of the family ended up going. It was seriously so so much fun... We haven't all been together like that in a very long time. ha me, laura and the nephews drove around in the rhino... haha with laura driving, it was quite some adventure hahaha

Oops..


haha ok I haven't been very good at this lately.. and im sorry! haha im really going to try and be better this time... umm nothin really happening lately.. just studyin for finals, getting ready for school to get over and it snowed in st. george, which like never ever happens. that was kinda crazy... we made a snowman in the backyard. I've been playin with the boys lots and thats just about it. Oh yeah i need to update what has happened since I blogged last. Um, well it was my 17th birthday on the 25th of October. I know im still a baby... haha but i got the privilege to take the ACT on my birthday. Which is a four hour test that is soooo sucky... not to mention I got back the night before from New York the night before. ha ya... not good.. Then Thanksgiving was good.. Surprisingly I got to see my grandparents which like NEVER happens. So that was cool.. Tree hunting was fun also all of the aunts and uncles were there and it was a blast. The only people who weren't there was Macy and Tyler.. That sucked but ya.. They the Dance Company Concert went so well.. It was on the 5th and 6th of December. The only thing that sucked was the long long hours of rehearsals. I would be at the college somedays for like ten hours. By the end I was so tired... I can't wait to start back up next semester. It has been so so awesome.. I am having a blast. Now it is a week before christmas, oh how time flys... Moms got all three Christmas trees up.. I can proudly say I helped decorate. :) I went sledding the other day.. it was so so fun.. It was me, isaac, ammon and dan. By the end we were soaking.. haha it was freezing!! but it really was so so fun... Today I basically have just worked most of the day.. April and I went to Olive Garden for a lunch break and got to see Macy. It makes me sad cause I hardly ever see her anymore cause were usually so busy.. but im gonna try harder now that school is basically out for a little bit. haha i already know the break is gonna be over before I know it.
