Crazy Kids and a Cowch

So the other day Jessica was driving down Brown and Horne and saw this awesome Cowch.

She told me about it and we KNEW we had to go take pictures.

And here's what we got: Yeah its blurry but at least they're in the air.

And daaang Rusty's got hops!

I'm laughing by the way...

His face made my day.

I thought of the wicked King Noah when I saw this.

B-ritt and Sammy playing patty-cake.

My friends are so cute!

Flexing their triceps brachii, heck yes I've been paying attention in anatomy!

Rusty was naughty.

No comment.

Can I just say that I have the best guy friends ever?

This one made me so happy!!!!

I love how Brittni's the only one making a normal face.

Have a happy MLK Day!!!!!!!

Hollerrrrrr!!!!!!!

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!

I RatalieNose, will be playing the part of

Madame Thenardier!!!!

If you haven't seen Les Miserables:

Madame T and her husband Monsieur T are the villians that you love to hate. They're sleazy, crude and funny as heck!!!

The boy who plays my "husband" is HILARIOUS!!!!

He should be really fun to work with!

I'm super excited for this chance I've been given!

Another awesome thing:

My younger sister Annie was casted as Young Eponine!

You know what that means????

I'm her mother!!!!!!

So our family is very excited with how things turned out!!!!

What good news do you have????

If I Were Anymore Irritated, I'd Be Dead

Image from here.

It's true.
At this moment in time, I am from the land of the
EXTREMELY IRRITATED.
However I will set that aside.
I will set aside the fact that:

My ipod went through the wash yesterday.

That is the exact same way my last ipod saw death.

If my little brother talks me again, I'm going to rip out his voice box.
(Not really, but I'm annoyed.)

I think I left Cammie in Ed's car.

My New Moon poster is all messed up.

I have to go to school tomorrow.

I was woken up early this morning by being told that my house got TP'd last night and I had to wake up and clean it up before the sprinklers came on.

Yes I'm going to set all that aside!
And we shall play a game.
Yes I stole this idea from the one and only Lauren.

So here's how it goes:
In the comment section you leave an anonymous comment giving some hint as to who you are. As they come, I will try to guess!
I've always wanted to do this and see how well I know my readers!
Ready. Set. Go.

Out With the Old, In With the New

(No, this collage has nothing to do with the post other than the fact that it's goofy and it makes me happy.)

It is a new year.

2010.

What's really trippin' me out is that next year is 2011.

THAT'S THE YEAR I GRADUATE.

MY LIFE STARTS IN A YEAR AND A HALF.

As exciting as that prospect is....right now, I'm going to focus on the present and the near future.

It's a new semester and some things have had to change.

Those things being my study habits.

My grades last semester left something to be desired, so I've made a commitment to put my education junk first which means less blog time.

So if I haven't commented or posted in forever, it's not that I hate you or don't love and miss your face.

It's because I'm trying to pass my classes.

Anywho....

2010 has alot to offer me!!

Auditions for Les Miserables are this coming Monday and Tuesday.I will be auditioning for the parts of

Madame Thernardier and Eponine Thernardier.

The two characters are COMPLETELY different, but I feel confident in my ability to portray both.

But if I'm being completely honest, (which I always am) Eponine is what I really want. Her songs are

OFF.THE.CHAIN.

Not to mention that it'd be fun to be tragic.

I love tragedy.

However, Madame Thernardier would be SUPER FUN as well.

So we'll just have to see!

Also this year is Girls Camp and I am a YCL 2 so I get to be more involved with the planning! I'm STOKED about my responsibility that I was given today but I don't know if I'm allowed to say anything yet...but when I get the ok I'll definately let you know!

I have finally finished my Personal Progress!!!

I will recieve my recognition in Sacrament meeting in a couple weeks because one of my family members won't be available and I need them there.

For those of you who don't know, Personal Progress is a program that all the Young Women (girls ages 12-18) participate in in my church.

There are seven values and for each one we do 6 "value projects" which usually entail reading scriptures, writing in journals etc. Then we're required to do a "ten hour project" for each value.

Basically it teaches you how to set goals and work to achieve them.

It truly is an inspired program!!!

Now that I'm done however, I'm not done done.

I'm going to be a Personal Progress "mom" for one of the girls in my ward who could use a little extra push. I'll just try to keep her motivated and check on her progress and such.

I'm so thankful for this experience and the things I've learned from it!

And the last thing that 2o1o has to offer me....

THE FINAL HUNGER GAMES BOOK COMES OUT IN AUGUST.

OH.MY.GOODNESS.

I AM IN LOOOOOOOOVE.

With the books themselves and with Peeta.

Oh the boy makes my heart sing!!!

I never thought I'd say this....

BUT I LIKE THESES BOOKS MORE THAN TWILIGHT!!!

*GASP*

I KNOW RIGHT???

You all KNOW how much I love Twilight......

So this is huge!!!!

I love the substance that these books have!

It makes my heart happy!

If you haven't read them,

GO.REPENT.NOW.

That is all.

P.S.

Please go vote on the poll on my sidebar.

It is highly imperative.

Houston, We Have a Problem

Well I'm home!

And I had the BEST time ever!!!!

This trip was just what I needed!!!! The first night I was in Houston, just so stoked to be together again!!!

And we got a little slap happy!!

Okay I lied.... a lot!!!

The next day we all went to Galveston Texas which is perfectly beautiful!!!

It's a little beach town with a bunch of really old mansions!

I thought of my dear friend Ann Marie as we drove past them all!

Unfortuantely I didn't get pictures of any of them.

Sherlock and Watson freezing on the beach!!!

My guy, Gabe the Gorilla!

Julie with her Frog Prince, Ferdinand the Fifth.

Mamma and Pappa Dub with long faced guy.

Then we took a ferry ride across the Gulf which was so cool!!! (Literally!)

Katie Lou! My "sister!"

K, on the ferry if you hold up a piece of bread the seagulls FLOCK to it!!! And they just fly in place until you feed them!

Julie told me to do pilates on the bar to keep warm.

No comment.

I'm not gonna lie, I make a great hobo!!

Julie keeping my legs warm for me!!

The twins feeding the gulls.

This yellow ferry made me happy!

Afterwards we went to Keemah Boardwalk which is like an amusement park right on the water!

Soo fun!!!

Got our tickets for Boardwalk Bullet!

Before

After

No explanation necessary.

I felt way too comfortable behind these bars.

Whoops!

Wednesday night was the big tri-stake New Years dance and it was Sam's first one!!!

New Years in Texas is BEYOND awesome because Fireworks are LEGAL!

So everyone does them and if you stand outside it sounds like downtown Bahgdad!

For the first hour I had to convince myself that no one was gettting shot!

I'm a cheap drunk!

Our first picture in 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robin's hands were cold, so she stuck them in my armpits?

Then came the dreaded car ride to the airport. :(

Yes it was 4:30 in the morning.

It was a great week!!!!!!

I'm so glad I got the chance to go!!!!!
