The wear and tear of tech week...

The first day of tech week, I looked very happy and bright and excited! (because I was) Also, this was at the beginning of rehearsal, so I wasn't worn out yet. I had not yet learned how difficult it is when you have a lead role....

The third day of tech week (I didn't get a picture of the second) I am looking rather tired, and you can see the remains of makeup on my face.

Forth day... We were experimenting with my hair, and it wasn't working.....

After the first performance!!!! YAY!!! I look tired!!! As you can see, tech week can take a lot out of you, but it is still really really fun!

The Happenings of Late....

Since I haven’t posted many pictures lately, I thought I would post some.... wait I have put a lot of pictures up lately..... but that sounds better than "since I have been posting so many pictures, I thought I would post some more".....so.... never mind, I wanted to put some pictures up to show you my exciting life!!! Hahaha. :)


I started off the year by going to Knott's Berry Farm in January. I went for a class trip, and it was really fun! There were no good pictures of me, (I took most of them) but there was this funny one of my friend Brandon I thought I would post.


Here is one of the roller coasters, call Ghost Rider. It was very bumpy....

I took this picture after youth temple baptisms, and I think it looks neat. It turned out pretty good considering it was taken with a cell phone camera!


In February I got sick and I had to go to the hospital and it was a pain :P I'm glad I'm better now! Oh, and one arm band says "Fall Risk" cause I fainted, but that's a long story.... The other one says "allergies" because I'm allergic to some medicines.

Here is what took up most of my life..... Rehearsals!!! Here is one of the first dress rehearsals, and that is Silvia and I. Fun fun fun!


On the first day of tech week, it hailed really hard, and it looked like snow. Here is Even holdinging a "snowball"

A close up on the hail. It look really cool!


I think this was before a dress rehearsal, or our first performance. We were getting all fancied up. :)

After the play was over and there were no more performances, we went to DISNEYLAND!!! It was really fun! We have year passes, and some of our really good friends also have year passes, so we all went together. This is our picture from Space Mountain. I'm the one in the blue shirt screaming my head off, my friend Kraig is behind me making crazy faces, and my friend Lulu is next to me looking very calm. (Lulu is my sister's best friend, and loves loves loves roller coasters, and I that’s funny because my sister hates hates hates roller coasters.) Anyway, Disneyland was really fun and we went for 13 hours and didn't get home till after midnight. It was awesome. 

Well, that's been my life lately, pretty good, but very busy! Hope you've had a good year so far!

Bake Sale!

This coming Summer, I am going to go on something called Trek. Trek is something the youth group at church does every couple of years, where we drive far away from our homes, dress up like pioneers, and walk. A lot. We walk 3-5 miles a day in full pioneer costume while pulling real sized handcarts with all our stuff in them, and we do this for three days. People generally end up hot, sweaty, exhausted and with lots of blisters. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, I am sooooooooo excited!!! (not for the blisters,) but for everything else, I am super-duper excited!!! When I was little, I always wanted to be a pioneer, and I loved reading about Laura Ingles Wilder in her books. I also have multiple Pioneer Ancestors with some really neat stories, and I think that will make this Trek extra special. The only other bad thing about Trek is that it costs a lot. Almost 200 dollars per person to go, and that tis a large sum of money. The Young Women had a fundraiser (washing cars) a few weeks ago, but we didn't earn all that much so each girl still had to come up with over half the money by themselves. The tittle of this post is "Bake Sale" so you can probably see where I'm going with this. A few of my really good friends were doing a bake sale to earn money for trek, and they invited me to do it with them. I of course said yes! It was last Saturday, and it was really fun! We made A LOT of cookies, and we made a pretty good amount of money. There were a lot of nice people that gave us tips, and everyone was really nice to us. Afterword’s, we went to one of the girls' house and divided up the money fairly, then we went to someone else’s house and swam in their pool and watched movies, and all together it was a very good day. Here are some pictures from it, there were lots and lots of cookies!!!

The Menu, lot of yummy things!


Yummy-ness

More yummy-ness

Even more yummy-ness!

Claire examining the yummy-ness.

Rachel hiding behind the yummy-ness.

Miriam and I getting ready to sell the yummy-ness to lot of nice people.

Oh, I do have one tip if you ever hold a bake sale- make sure everyone participating eats a good breakfast. For our bake sale, no one ate a good breakfast, so we were all rather hungry, which can be a bad thing if you're trying to sell food to make profit, and the salesmen (er, saleswomen) keep eating the product they are trying to sell. (don't worry, we were completely sanitary, we would just open up one bag at a time when we would get really hungry, finish it off, and pretend we didn't do it. :P
