Long Overdue Post!!!

Its hard to keep up on a blog when you are so busy. I got behind and never wanted to catch up there is just too much. So sorry no catching up.

Wednesday was my 18th birthday, I am officially an adult. Among the many perks of being an adult my Dad keeps reminding me that now I can go to jail so I better be careful.Yesterday was my last day of high school EVER!!! It is so wierd for it to be over. I don't know how I feel about that. huh? I graduate on Wednesay the 27th. So I still have a few days (and the summer) until everyone goes their seperate ways.

I got my senior pictures done a few weeks ago. My mom's cousin Michelle came and took them. It was the funnest photo shoot ever, she is so funny, not to mention amazingly talented. This is my favorite picture

The Most Stressful Week EVER!!!

It is the end of the semester on Thursday. For some reason every one of my teachers thinks they need to have a huge semester project due and that they are the only teacher doing it. So I have been working on all sorts of reports and projects, including an art project (and I'm not even in an art class!!!) I also had to teach primary this week. I gained a lot of respect for the people that have to do it every week, those kids are crazy!!! One more thing to add to the list, I have been rehearsing for Little Women this week, next week rehearsals are supposed to get even crazier though, as the opening of the show is getting closer!!! The show opens February 2^nd, I'm getting more and more nervous but excited at the same time. Well I just wanted to update really quickly, even though this has not been the most exciting week.

I just have to add this little tidbit… Emily and I were trying to pop a balloon with a broken pair of scissors that she had and… they got stuck in the ceiling!!! I thought that it was pretty hilarious. What can I say we are pretty much pro at getting things stuck!!!

Government Class Adventure!!!

Today was our first day back to school after the 2 week break. It was the longest day of my life! To say the least. My Government class was by far the most exciting! First of all the fire alarm went off for a half an hour (not even exaggerating) they told us to stay in our classes because they were "just having a problem with the alarms" but then the sprinkler in the library broke and they decided they really did need the fire department!... well the fire alarm has a a very bright flashing light so some kids put a garbage can over it to block the light and unintensify the noise!:)

Here is a picture of their "beautiful" work, it was so funny. We probably wasted a good 20 mintues with that alone.

Then as soon as it stopped and we were getting back into Griffen's lecture, the clock started freaking out! So Griffen decided to somehow work that into the lecture... we still really aren't sure how he did that! p.s. Delite... don't tell Griffen that there is a picture of him on my blog!:)

Then to top it all off... I was fideling with my pen and then my leg got itchy...so I scratched it... with my pen (yep the writing side) and they were new pants!!! It was sad and I had to go to school with a huge scribble mark on my jeans! Oh well what can you do.(I was going to put a picture of that on here too but when I took the picture you wouldn't really tell what it was)

Christmas and New Years!!!

Christmas was great!!! I love the Christmas season :) We had a very simple Christmas this year, we were to busy to put up decorations, I thought it was kinda sad until I realized how easy it made cleanup!!!:) New Years was fun too. We went to GG's and Gpa's to celebrate with them and the Hillmans. We had Ruebens--one of my favorites!!! We played games and just enjoyed each other!:)

Kelsey stayed with us the whole week, I don't think I do justice how much fun we had in words so I'll just show pictures!! I love it when cousins come to visit!

We went to one of Bri's Basketball games to watch her play. She is fun to watch. This is Nicolas... he was really getting in to the game. Its probably not a good idea for him to watch games with my dad!:) He learns to yell at the refs!:)

We went to see the festival of lights one night, these are some pictures of us on the way there!!!

Here is Sam, Em, and Kelsey...

... and here is Lindsey, me and Camille, we were really excited!

The last night Kelsey stayed with us we pulled an all nighter so we didn't waste any time
(and also just to say we did!) We had a very interesting night!!!

I chucked a candy cane at the wall because Emily wanted it in little pieces so it was easier to eat, I thought it would help but it didn't. The only piece that broke off is the one still stuck in the wall!

We also took pictures of ourselves in the dark! in this one we were opening our mouths as wide as we could but it looks like we are eating each other or something!:)



Anyway it was a lot of fun and I'm sad its over but I will always have those fun memories! Thanks Kels!!!
