Picture Perfect

OK, so I may not be picture perfect. This week at WestSide was parent week so all the parents could come and watch their children dance. So naturally my dad brought the camera and took some pictures while I was dancing. I know there is a lot of them but I couldn't decided which ones to put on the blog! 



Thats me on the left, my friend Aubrey in the middle, and my other friend Courtney on the right. They were in my ballet class when I was still at Ballet Arts of Southern Utah.


I am the one behind the first pair of pointe shoes.







Me and my friend Courtney messing around trying to see how far we could go.

28.5 things

I told you that I would take some pictures of something else besides flowers and instruments. Here they are!




As you can see, I really like photography. I have decided to do the 28.5 things about me thing (I have really nothing else to do).

1. I really like photography (see above).
2. I love doing Baptisms for the dead!
3. I have a large collection of purses and jewelry.
4. Once when I was about six my dad, Maria, her friend Sammy and I went on a camping trip and I almost fell off a cliff.
5. I can throw a perfect spiral with a football thanks to my brother Tyler.
6. I hate it when people from Hurricane say, "Down in St. George..." instead of, "Down in Hurricane..." Its like Hurricane doesn't even exist when they say that. Except when they are actually referring to St. George.
7. I absolutely do not want a Walmart in Hurricane. I like our town just the way it is. I have issues about people calling Hurricane, "Hurricane City" instead of "The town of Hurricane"
8. I tend to ask really random questions at really random times. Such as, "Have you ever wondered how dark it is in your body?". That is my ultimate question that I ask everyone.
9. Once I ate an equivalent of 500 cherries in 4 days. You don't want to know the result.
10.  I have a tendency to sneak up quietly on my sister Maria and scare her. I've probably done it ever since I learned to walk quietly. I still enjoy seeing her jump, even if it means getting beat up afterwards.
11. I read about a book a day and always complain that I read too fast.
12. I absolutely love fantasy books and that is why I dressed up as a gypsy for Halloween (one of the characters was one).
13. My favorite number is 8. Our mailbox number is 8 and that's probably where I got it.
14. Jeez! It's getting hard to think of things! Um... I have never had a white Christmas and always wish for one each year.
15. Each year on my Christmas wish list I always put that I want a stage. It's so I can preform my plays on it. I think this year I'll ask for my own craft room. They will both never happen. Never hurts to wish it!
16. I once almost died from dehydration. I had to get an IV and everything. I make sure that I drink water now.
17. I am a pack rat. I can never throw away anything. I'm getting better though.
18. I hate talking on the phone. That's why I don't say much when you call me. I also hate answering the phone and calling people.
19. I was born on Easter morning.
20. I personally like to think that I am my nieces and nephew's favorite aunt :)
21. I love the movies CATS, Phantom of the Opera, Starwars, Pirates of the Caribbean, George of the Jungle, all Disney movies, Annie get your Gun, Calamity Jane, Harvey, etc.
22. Ever since I was born I have seen almost all of the plays SGMT has put on.
23. I used to be a tomboy. I still am, I just wear girl clothes now.
24. I used to never show my feet. I always wore socks. I even wore socks when I got baptised! I almost never wear socks now.
25. I absolutely, positively, hate change!
26. I refuse to fold fitted sheets.
27. It drives me nuts when people enter pictures of people way close up or children with dirty faces with snot all over them in the Washington County Fair. Or any fair for that matter!
28. It also drives me nuts when someone sees some kind of bug, shrieks, jumps on a chair and screams at someone to squish it.
28.5. I hate writing essays.

And thats that! I now tag Monica, my sister-in-law Lori, and my dad.

Happy Halloween!

Now hows that for scary!!

Happy Halloween! I was a gypsy this year. I was going to be an aviator but I decided against that. Our ward had a trunk-or-treat and me and my parents went there then me and my friend Deichae went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It was fun! Hope you guys had fun too! Well, got to go and read a really good book!

P.S. The book that I'm reading is Circle of Magic: Daja's book. The author, Tamora Peirce, is a really good writer and has written about 19 books. I only have 3 more of her books left! (That means that they are really good and you absolutely have to read them!)

My awsome shoes

Hm... Now where have I heard that before?


If you know my mom, this is almost exactly what she says everyday! These are some other things that we ask each other during the day:

1. Have you seen the phone?
2. Have you seen Dad?
3. Has anyone done a new post yet?
4. Is Maria coming over today?
5. Are you ready for ballet yet?
6. Have you cleaned your room yet?
7. Where are the Funnies?
8. What's the temperature?

Those are just some of the things we ask :) I saw this comic and thought it was hilarious! I told my mom I wasn't going to post this but I couldn't resist! My mom said that she will start posting again someday. That reminds me of the song from Snow White, "Someday my Prince will come". Anyways, I havn't taken any pictures to post yet. They will probably be the same thing I usually take pictures of, flowers and instruments. Your probably getting tired of those. I'll try and take pictures of something else.

This week at school is Red Ribbon week. We have a theme everyday to help us remember not to do drugs. They are:
Hawaiian Day- "Lei" off of drugs
Sports Day- Kick off drugs
Crazy Sock Day- Sock off drugs
Camo Day- Join the fight against drugs
And Friday we dress up in our Halloween costumes. I forgot to tell you, I'm an Auntie again! My new baby niece, Ava Espyn Murset was born two weeks ago! She's so cute!

I will post pictures of our new and improved bathrooms once they are done, which won't be for a while :(

Ramblings

So... nothing really exciting has happened. Except that we are getting all of our bathrooms redone. I guess you could call that exciting :) We also got the office redone. It looks really nice!

So, as my family may know I get REALLY excited for Christmas! I have already started to count down. I believe there are about 60 more days till Christmas. I can't wait! I have already started Christmas shopping :) And I am happy to say that I found a present for my brother Tyler! I have his family for Christmas this year and he is impossible to shop for! Now Monica is a different story :) I've gotten her some pretty nice stuff. Anyways, if you want to get on my good side then you can give me a bunch of Sobe drinks and clothes :) OK, that sounds really selfish... never mind about that. Well, I've got nothing else to write about so... Have a good day!

Noodle...

This post is mostly telling you about what has been going on lately, and to tell you about an awesome noodle :)
I was making spaghetti yesterday for dinner and I found this noodle. (It was uncooked) I thought it looked so cool that it was worthy to be on our blog! So there's an awesome noodle to look at.
My mom bought this so we would be more organized. She got me one too.
Our griddle stopped working a few days ago. My mom was so happy! So she bought a new one. It tilts so if you are frying bacon then all the grease will just slide off the pan!

The wonderful pancakes she made us today on our new griddle.
My mom bought us each a Sobe so when we drank it up it would be our new water bottle! She read this thing were when you leave your water in a hot car then the water gets contaminated or something and that it can lead to cancer. I don't know if she wants us to carry our water bottle everywhere or... never mind.
This morning the temperature got below zero! Can you believe that?! There was ice all over our car this morning and you could see your breath! The high today was 57 degrees. Just a few weeks ago it was still in the ninety's!
Here is me huddled up in my blankets. I've been freezing all day! If you look closely my eyes are open really wide and look kinda weird. (I get twitchy and jumpy when it gets too cold for my liking)

The result of boredom...

My dad went to California for my grandma's birthday so I didn't have him there to help me with the crosswords that I've been doing lately. So, I made a quilt! It took me about three days to do and it turned out pretty well! My mom's been using it to keep her warm during General Conference. Now here are the pictures that my dad took while he was in Cali.
Eating at Phillipe's
Obviously nobody wants you to park there!



Visiting Grandpa's grave.





I don't know why it underlined that last sentence. Anyways, I suggest you make one of those quilts, they're really fun!
