Church Dances

I love church dances! They are so much fun! If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to dances put on by the LDS church. They are not every week, but I always try to go when they happen! I love seeing my friends, and I really, really love to swing dance. It is so fun! Since my blog is basically my journal, here are some pictures from past dances. :)

My first dance! I went to the New Year's Eve Dance with my awesome cousin Franklin.

These are some girls from my ward. I drove to the dance with them.

My friends Nathan, Elizabeth, and Kraig. The dance was in August 2010. It was casual dress, so you didn't have to wear church clothes. I remember it being very fun. :)

This picture is from last November on my birthday. The friends I usualy drive with and I met at Cold Dtone, got ice cream, and then we drove to the dance. It was a fun birthday!
Kraig and I on the way to the dance. My friend Ben was being crazy, so no good pictures of him, and Nathan was taking the pictures, so none of him. :P


Before the New Year's Eve Dance 2011 with my cousin Franklin and my friend Kraig. (Kraig is my age and in my home-school group and happened to be in Utah at the same time as my family.) We were in northern Utah, and it was very cold but fun!

Before the above dance with Franklin

A dance I went to 2 weeks ago. It was my friend Claire's first dance, and it was really, really fun! (Haha, I look really short compared to my super-tall friends);)

I have been to waaaaaaaay more dances then I have pictures of, and I have so much fun at them! I have only ben to a few where they weren’t fun, and that was because the music was too loud, or the lights gave me a head ache. Other than that, they are always fun! Well, thanks for reading this post!

Owl Rocks-

This Friday I did a fun craft with my mom, sister, and friend Katie. We made these cute owl rocks. They are simply regular rocks painted to look like owls! They turn out really really cute, and its really fun to pick out the colors to paint them. Yesterday I made some more with my sister and brother while watching Conference. Here are the ones we made on Friday-

I think we like cats......

We have a new kitten!!!! No, the old one didn't die.... But my brother has been wanting a grey kitten for a really really long time, so we now have one! We haven't named him yet so we have been calling him Little Meow, but he is Orlando I and Orlando II's little brother. He is soooooooo cute! Yesterday was my brothers birthday (he's now 14) and we were able to get the kitten yesterday, so it was a perfect Birthday present. It was also special because I have a new baby cousin that was born yesterday. Happy Birthday Corry and Keton, and welcome to our home Little Meow!

Insert cat *HERE*

On the floor....


On the windowsill....


Under the couch...


On the kitchen table...


On the dining room table...


In the bathroom sink...


And on the kitchen counter...

Yep, this is our new kitty, and he likes to..... be in places he shouldn't be. I have an unfortunate habit of taking pictures of him when he get on the table, instead of taking him OFF the table....

Ode to Orlando

As some of you may know, my kitty Orlando passed away in June. I thought I would post some picture of him to show you what a pretty cat he was. He also used to make very weird faces, as you can see. We now have a new kitty, named Orlando Too, so I will post some pictures of him soon. I miss you, Orando!

The evening sky

These are some pictures I took from our deck. The sky gets so pretty every evening, I love it. I am glad I took these pictures, I think they are really pretty. :)

McKenna is home!

As many of you may know, my little sister McKenna has been very sick lately. She had to stay in the hospital for 9 days, but now she is home! We are very happy to have her home again, we missed her a lot!


She is recovering fairly quickly, and is feeling a lot better. She did not like staying in the hospital (who would?) but she was very very brave, and is a super awesome little girl. We love you McKenna!
