Cat tree

I have a good friend named Kraig, and for Christmas, he supprised me by making a really cool present. He made me a tree for my cat Ella! It is a really awesome stand, and it is almost as tall as I am. Ella really really loves it, and climbs on it all the time.

Here is Ella (I'm holding her), the new cat tree, Kraig, and I.

Ella looks really funny in this picture!

Here's Ella telling Molly to go away! When Ella is at the top of her tree, she thinks she is Queen of the world, and nobody is allowed to get near her. Its super funny! Thanks Kraig! :)

Anne of Green Gables

Today I promised my awesome friend Marianne I would blog, so I am! Last month, I was in a play called Anne of Green Gables. It was the second play I have had a part in with more then a few speaking lines (I had abt. 30 lines for this play) and it was the FIRST play I have ever been in that I had a real solo. In Oliver Twist and Pirates of Penzance I had small singing solos, but in this play I had to sing two pages of song all by my self! I was soooooooo nervous before hand, but I think I did a pretty good job! This year for the play, we did performances a little differently for two reasons. 1, we had three shows, a Thursday and Friday night show, and a Saturday morning show. We also had understudy parts that we could play on Saturday if we wanted to. My main part was Mrs. Allan the preachers wife, and my understudy part was Aunt Josephine Berry, who is Diana's aunt. My sister got a pretty big part as the little girl Josie Pie, and her understudy part was the main role Anne, but she decided she didn't want to play that part. The play turned out really really awesome, and I was really happy to participate in it this year. My brothers were stage crew and they also did a great job at that. Way to go everyone!!!

Guess What???

I got braces! I am trying to sound excited in this post, but really the excitement is for when I get them off in 18 months. I got them two weeks ago, and they have almost stopped hurting! Yay! They are blue, because that is my favorite color. The above picture is from two days after I got them, and I was smiling kind of funny because it still hurt a lot to smile. I am finally almost used to them now, though, and I am glad of that. :)

KITTY!!!

Guess what!!! I GOT A CAT!!! I am super excited!!! Some friends of ours have a cat, and she had kittens in mid-August. So, I have always wanted a cat, but my mom is really allergic to them, so I was never able to get one. Then, after much convincing, my parents said I could get a cat, and I promised I would take care of it. So now, I have a cat!!! Yay!!!


This is Ella, my kitty. :)

Yeah, if he was wearing lipstick......

They would look a lot alike!

Or maybe its just that they both need hair cuts...

Saturday, July 3rd. Left for Utah!

Saturday started out with going to our stakes Independence Day celebration. It was lasted about an hour, and it was our stake choir singing different patriotic songs. It was really good! After it finished, there were muffins and fruit to eat, and my mom and I stayed an extra hour talking to friends. When we got home, we finished packing, then off to Utah at about 12 noon. We dropped off our dogs at the dog kennel, then off we went! It was a long, long ride from my house to St. George, but we made it there safely (and without any form of tv whatsoever)

Here are some thing we saw in the car:

We saw lot and lots of mountains.

My awesome new shoes.

More rocks/mountains

This is such a weird name for a road!

A castle.


A tower

A pyramid.

I really liked the look of this mesa, I thought it was supper pretty.

That evening we arived in St. George and we went to... Cracker Barrel!!! Yum! This is my familys favorite restraunt ever,and we go everytime we go to Utah. We usually go to dinner the night we arive in St. George, then the next morning before we countinue travling. It is the best!


After dinner we went back to the hotel, hung out, then went to bed. It was a good day as far as traveling went!

Molly was helping me roll up my Sleeping bag...

I think this is one of my favorite pictures of Molly, even though she looks like a half starved mangy beast in it and it is a little blury:)
