Hello!

Hello everyone! Well now that my schedule has calmed down a bit, my blog is back in action! Sorry that it has been A YEAR scince my last post so, let's catch up:

Well, I have been in three theater productions since my last post. Honk! which was in May and I was Penelope Swan, Beauty and the Beast in June as Babette (the feather duster girl in the movie) and Wild West Tales as Pricila Anne Wallace and Mrs. Pryor. And now I'm in the Highschool production of Joseph and the Amazing Tecni-color Dream Coat!!!! Whew! Since last year I have turned 13, I'm towards the end of 7th grade, and I have gotten my braces off! Last summer I went to California with Mom, Craig, and my cousin Marti. We went to Hunnington Beach over the week of the 4th of July. We also went to Universal Studios and rode some rides there. Over the past year I have made LOTS of new friends! Some of which are now considerd BFF's. Here are some pics from last year to help catch us up:

"The Best Christmas Pagent Ever!"

Hey everyone! So sorry it's been so long since my last "Post".
My schedule has really been extremely busy and so much has happened.
As some of you know, I've just finished a new play "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"! I played the mean, rude, Claudie - one of five bad kids, the Herdmans. This play was a really fun one and a touching one too! On The last night of the play my friend Tiana did my hair and it was awesome!!! Here are the pics:

Friends: Kristelle and Elisabeth. Luv them 4 ever!

Elisabeth and I have been in every single play together!

Longest piece of bread in history. Mom, Craig, and I went to the "Pizza Parlor" and got a HUGE piece of bread.

"Do I have to wear this?" Mom, Craig, and I went on a boat ride in Rainbow Lake and the sign said "Children under twelve must wear a life jacket"

Grrr so close!

Look at all of that seaweed!

So that's what got stuck in the motor.

Uh-Oh! School is Almost Here!

Uh-oh indeed! School is almost here! And this semester I'm in 6th grade, which I've heard is hard.  Not only that, but this year we are also Homeschooling my cousins Marti, Cassy, and Harleigh. Marti is going to be in 6th grade with me, Cassy is going to be in 4th grade, and Harleigh is going to be a Sophomore in High School! WOW. That is a lot of work to teach four kids who are in different grades.

  So Mom "hired" Aunt Angela to help teach us kids! Although, on top of that we have some activities in the afternoons. 
We have Art class, Piano, Writing, and of course, Theater (our next play is "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever").








 I also have Bookclub and I'm going to attend a girls only Bible Study! On Fridays Mom and I clean the house. Whew! That's only week one! =)

Show Low Cabin Fun!

Last week, Mom, cousin Zoie, Craig, and I went up to Show Low to our new cabin for the Fourth of July. It was a lot of fun going up in the mountains in the cool air and enjoying the trees and nature. Zoie and I had so much fun seeing the wild horses and cows! There was no t.v. when we first moved in, so late at night Zoie and I would go out back on the porch and watch our neighbor's t.v., the only problem was they liked to watch HGTV.  So we decided to watch the stars instead!  Zoie and I also liked to make (short) movies with our dolls when it got too hot to go outside in the afternoons. On one day, Craig took us to The Family Fun Park and we raced go-carts! Zoie and I got very competitive!

On the Fourth of July we went to Show Low's Fourth of July Parade with Mr. and Mrs. Johnson (Zoie had gone home early).  It was a lot of fun seeing all of the cool floats. The only bad part about that day was that I was sick with a cold and couldn't go to the cookout afterwards!  =(  

The other thing that happened up in our little cabin, which we have named Sweet Retreat, was that we finally got a t.v.! At night, we watch movies like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. On the last day of vacation we drove back down to Phoenix and now we miss the cool weather.  The temperatures up there are in the 60s at night and 80s during the day.
