Girl's Camp 2009

Jr. Leaders having a great time taking super crazy pictures. This is just one of many.
My group I was in charge of. Yes am dressed up as a pirate, because our theme was "seeking timeless treasures."

Showing off our stash.

My group again before testimony meeting.

This was my group for skits. Our principal was up there as a priesthood holder and so we had him in our skit. It was super funny. We had him be a student and we were all the crazy teachers. It was really funny. We were suprised how funny our principal can be.

Float Trip

The week before Girl's Camp I went on a float trip on Warm River on a big group date. It was so much fun. The water felt so good. It was really good to see everyone again, since school got out. Hopefully we will be able to do something like that again soon.

Cinderella Session

My mom's friend needed to use me for a photo session she needed to do for a photography class. She had me pose as if I were Cinderella. It was really fun to dress up again.

PROM!!!

Prom was amazing. For our day date we got these old looking bikes with the big handle bars and went on a scavenger hunt around town. We had to go to these different places and get our picture with it or in front of it. Then we went back to the park and played Imagine If.

After we got ready in our formals we went to his house for a super fancy dinner. His mom made it and his little brothers and sister served us. They were all dressed up in there church clothes, they were so cute. We had steak, two kinds of chicken, three kinds of shrimp, and two types of potato's and veggies. It was so good. For dessert there was two kinds of cake. German chocolate and this other kind with strawberries and huckleberries. It was so good. The dance was so much fun. We danced every dance and tried to make up dance moves to the weird rap songs. I had the best time ever. I don't think I could have asked for a better first date.

Ballroom

This was our ballroom group this year. We did a dance routine to High School Musical songs. We did the cha cha, two step, and my favorite, triple step. The costumes we rented from the collage and when we spin there was pink under the black. It was pretty fun. So we danced for the school and I was scared to death. I have never been so scared to perform before. I was shaking so bad. But when we performed at the Jr. High that night for our parents and everyone I was totally fine even though there was probably more people there. It was super fun and I can't wait until next year to learn more.

Sweet Sixteen

My cousin Elise and I. We were both born on the same day so for our first date we went to Gringos with our dads. Then when we went back to my house me (thinking were just going to have cupcakes) there was a huge surprise party for me. It was amazing. I walk in and there are people behind me to my right, and to my left. I felt to cool. Ihave to thank my mom for the most amazing birthday ever. She planned and did the whole thing for a couple of weeks just getting everything ready.

Prom

Everyone who gets e-mails from my mom probably all know this already, but I still want to tell because i am so excited. Last night I was asked to Prom. He dropped of a small bag of flour that asked, "Will you go to prom with me?" Then on the back it said, " Answer in the flower."

Yeah didn't notice that it was spelled wrong at first. So I was sifting through the flour getting it everywhere. When we couldn't find anything my dad told me I should go up stairs and brush my hair out because I had just gotten out of the shower. After I dried my hair really really fast I went down stairs smiling like crazy trying to figure out who it could be. When the door bell rang I went and answered it (with no make up on I might add). When I opened the door I saw Breanen Bean. He pulled a rose from behind his back. He said " Sorry I gave you the wrong flower. Will you go to prom with me?" Of Course I said Yes and gave him a hug. I am so excited. I still can't believe it.

Boise for State

Lately life has been pretty crazy. So, a couple of weeks ago I went to both girl's stat basket ball and the boy's with the band. It was a pretty good deal. I got into all the games pretty much free and just got to hang out with friends for a couple of days. Of course there was the fifty dollar fee. It was so much fun. One day we went to the discovery center to see what was there. It was really amazing. I even got to lay on a bed of nails.





This was a lot of the people on the bus down to the Boy's State. It was kind of funny. There was only six girls who went to the boy's. We all joked that we would get three boys to a girl. It was pretty funny.

Both our teams did really good. The Girls team had a perfect season and took state. Our boys also did really good. They took third at state.

I haven't blogged FOREVER!

Well this has been a while and a ton has happened. So lets see if I can think of the funnest and coolest things I've done in the last while.

Les Miserable

I was in the play at our school and we did Les Miserable. It was so fun to be in. The music and the story line are amazing. The leads were very good singers and actors. The only sad part is that I didn't get to see it.

This picture is of my friend Carly and I on stage during the Master of the House song. We didn't have to try to hard in that scene to act like we were having fun. Everyone on stage was laughing, dancing, singing and just having a good time.

This is a picture in the green room of everyone who wanted to jump in from the cast.

At one of the many times our cast went to Dairy Queen, Patrick and I made up a game with cup lids and straws. You had to suck the cup with the straw of the table before the other person could. We were laughing so hard. So, that night we took a ton of straws and lids so we could play it during intermission. It was a big hit with everyone there. I am surprised the audience didn't hear us laughing. The picture below is of us playing the game.

Drama and Speech Tournaments

Besides the play I have also gone to speech and drama competitions. I have done pretty good, but mostly just had a lot of fun. In drama I did a humorous ensable called Almost the Bride of Dracula, and a original serious duo called My Mom Loves Me and it was written by Burkley Rudd from my school, and I also modeled a dress Paige and Sarah made.

This is a picture of my friends Drew, Carly and me.

This is Garry Chang our exchange student from Taiwan. We don't know his real name he just told us to call him his nickname, Garry. He is so funny. He is so much fun to hang out with.

Christmas

Christmas was so much fun. We just stayed at home.Got up around 8, yeah our family get up late, opened one present. We got Beautiful quilts from my grandma Cheney.They were amazing. Then we went and ate a big breakfast and went back and opened the rest of the presents. I got tons of socks. I LOVE SOCKS. I got socks with bells on them, socks with pink stripes that go to my knee, and tons more. One Christmas present none of us thought we would ever get we got. My mom and dad took us on a scavenger hunt to find it. All over the house and town were it ended at my grandma and grandpa Parkinson's house. There we just sat and talked for almost and hour, until Brooklyn saw the Wii. Then she asked "Grandma you guys got a Wii for Christmas". My dad just said, "No, we got a Wii for Christmas." We couldn't believe it. and we didn't forever. Until it was at our house and playing it. It was so funny.

Christmas Breakfast. I think we're all a little excited.

At Grandma and Grandpa Parkinson's house after getting our Wii.

Well this was fun. I will see if I can do it tomorrow.

District Drama

Yesterday, our school went to Rigby for District Drama. We had a huge team. I had two pieces. Almost the Bride of Dracula, which is a humorous ensemble, and My mom loves me, an original serious ensemble. My favorite was Almost the Bride of Dracula. Then I was a model. So I wore a dress that Paige and Sarah made while they did their interview sort of thing. It was all so much fun. Sugar did and amazing job and I get to go to State. YAY! Almost the Bride of Dracula got 3rd I think, My Mom Loves Me, is an alternate, and the dress got 2nd i think. Every one was so excited. I am so excited for state. Last year I didn't even go to districts because I didn't have a piece, and then this year I get to go to State. Well that is what I have been up to this weekend.

Great Day

Natalie, Me, Bradly, and Sierra.

After the performance we were dipping each other. This is a picture of Jana dipping Kent and me.

Here I am dipping Kent.

This is a picture of all the girls. We had so much fun together.

This is the Great day group after the performance.

Well Great Day is the name of the Swing Choir at my school. It is so much fun. It is one of the classes I am taking this tri. Last night and today are our performances. We had a lot of fun last night. We sang and danced to the Beach Boys, Abba (Mamma Mia), and a bunch of Christmas songs. It was a dinner show so we got REALLY good food afterwards too. BONUS!

Football Games in Idaho

Last night I went to a football game at South Fremont with my friend Kameron. It was 30 degrees outside windy and not very fun. We were wearing so many layers we could barely move and we were still freezing. It was an adventure all right. When we got back to her truck we couldn't feel our toes and fingers. We thought we looked so funny we decided to take pictures. I am sure we looked pretty funny from the outside, because right then the other schools team was walking by. You could only see our eyes and a flash going of every ones in a while. We were laughing so hard, for some reason. Afterwards we went to the gas sation and got some goodies. I have never wanted hot chocolate so much. It was really fun, but I don't think we will be doing that again any time soon. Today hasn't changed much, but it did start snowing. The first snow fall of the year. I'm not sure if I excited for winter to come or not. Oh well, I am sure my friends and I will still have lots of fun.
