Life's good:)

Thanksgiving

2008-12-22T14:56:00.000-08:00

Pedicures with the girls :)

Contrary to thought... this is not child abuse... just an innocent haircut :)

THE REAL DEAL!!!!

Maddy! You are so pretty :)

Okay, yes, I am very guilty, but it's been super crazy! I love Christmas Break, and I'm hoping I can catch up on the rest of the year's events, before December 31st. Thanksgiving in Temecula was awesome! We spent about a week staying at Shannon and Andrew's and we had a blast! In a week's time, Maddy got baptized (holy cow, time passes too fast), we got to have Thanksgiving together, the girls did some shopping on Black Friday, and just about everybody got sick. Some other highlights of the crazy trip included movie marathons, Rich got to play show and tell with his medal, Gavin's first haircut, and a crazy Turkey Bowl that left Dan and Andrew limping for the rest of the week. The girls went for pedicures on Friday. I asked the lady doing my feet to not file my feet. (I need the callouses for dance)... she misunderstand, and it took me about 20 minutes into the callous REMOVAL treatment to figure out what she was doing. ...And yes, I did get to pay extra for it, because she didn't understand my English. haha I guess it's just one of those things you have to laugh off. Wow! Can't wait for Thanksgiving next year :)

Oh the Places You'll Go!

2008-11-22T18:11:00.000-08:00

So, this last week, Cherry Creek Elementary has been doing a reading campaign throughout their school. They invited a bunch of SHS student athletes to come read their favorite picture books to the kids. Erica, Taren, Syd, Ashby, and I represented the Drill Team. Taren, Erica, and I read to Mrs. Boyer's 3rd grade class, and I chose, "Oh the Places You'll Go," by Dr. Suess. Some of my favorite "kid-like" comments of the day were, "My friend Braiden saw you guys at recess and said you were hot!" and later from Braiden himself, "Ah! The room over got the cheerleaders!" We had tons of fun, and I would totally do it again in a heartbeat!

Back to School Shopping :)

2008-11-21T15:23:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that the year is already winding down, and I feel like I missed posting so much stuff this year. It's crazy! Here's a cute picture of Ryan. We were back to school shopping in Salt Lake, and I'm sure this wasn't our first dressing room. Guess he'd had his fill for it :)

UVU Dance Day!!!

2008-11-14T15:01:00.000-08:00

So every year, UVU (formerly UVSC) invites a bunch of High School Dance Companies to take a workshop at the school... and yes try to sway you to coming into their dance program. Well, I decided to try a class that I've had very little experience with in my life. I took a modern class followed by an African dancing class. It was INCREDIBLE! Pretty sure also, that was the best time I've ever had dancing. We found ourselves laughing while we were dancing, just because it was so much fun. African was totally a contrast from the formal, quiet, respect the placement of things... modern class. Because in African you can shout things (ya ya!) while you dance, you try to just have a good time (and it's hard not to.) We learned a work dance and a celebration dance called the Bwanga from Congo. We seriously had a great time. After classes we got to go make up a little bit of movement, grab lunch, listen to college requirements, and see a performance of the companies. It was a blast! Oh, and by the way, we were totally spoiled and got live musicians to play the piano for modern and the drums for African :) Again, AMAZING :)

Scentsy :)

2008-11-14T14:50:00.000-08:00

So, my mom and I have recently started selling Scentsy. Scentsy is a wickless, safer version of the traditional candle, and I LOVE IT! It's been nice to have a flexible semi-job to help pay for my drill bills and to have a yummy smelling house :) We held our first party last month, and got our shipment from the party a week and a half later. Here are some pictures from the shipment (Ah, our family room was covered!)

SQUAD!

2008-11-08T07:40:00.000-08:00

So, for those of you who are drill boughs... or those of you who have become drill team boughs because of me will know the word squad. Because of injury, not making grades, sickness, and unexpected problems that come up with girls on Drill, Mrs. A has to choose a squad for at least Military and Dance. Each squad contains 12 girls, so that there are substitutes if something comes up. So, in short, you have to work hard for your initial spot in the dance to start out, otherwise you don't perform or compete in it when the time comes. This week, the pressure was on, it was squad week. We had to do fuettes (these crazy turns that I'm finally almost able to do), headstands with slaps (again, a lot of Drill jargon, but I think a few of you will get it :), and we had to show off our splits. Yesterday, after school, squad was posted in the locker room, and this year I was picked for BOTH!! The real pressure is on now in the next couple of weeks before our first competition. (Now, I have to get an arial....cartwheel with zero hands! Ah!)

Dancing Under the Stars!

2008-10-30T15:42:00.000-07:00

Okay, this post is for all of you So You Think You Can Dance junkies. :) I know I'm really behind, but I am trying to catch up. Towards the end of the summer a couple of the girls in my family had tickets to a show called "Dancing Under the Stars." I'd heard of it, but didn't think that it was going to be anything huge. I didn't have any plans the night of, so I decided to go with. Well, much to my surprise (A VERY GOOD SURPRISE) Chelsea Hightower, Gev, Kelli Baker, and Matt Dorame were all dancing in the show. There was Mandy Moore choreography in the show as well as a bunch of other big names from shows like "Dancing with the Stars." Oh my gosh, I was amazed by Gev, Chelsea, and Matt. Chelsea and Gev even did one of my favorites from the show... "These Arms of Mine." My time at the show was split between holding my camera to get videos of the dances that wouldn't even do the dancers justice, wishing I could move it like everybody on the stage, and actually taking it all in. And, yes, as you can see from the picture, I wasn't too afraid to ask for an autograph, and picture at the end. Matt is so tall! I felt ridiculously small:) I guess it kind of makes up for ditching out on tickets to the SYTYCD tour this year :)

1 Whole Year

2008-10-19T20:17:00.000-07:00

Snow Fun if ya know what I mean:) Don't ask...

Mom and I at Universal :)

Art City Days... It was late... again, don't ask :)

My girlies at EFY :)

Looking back I just realized that it's been about a year since I started this blog. I've loved it. It's been kind of a journal... just one I could share with everybody I know. Sometimes I can't believe how fast time passes and all the amazing things that could be crammed into one year.
Some of the highlights... and other random hilarious events have included:
-Meeting Benji Schwimmer
-Saying goodbye to Lauren :(
-Going to Newport... yes I still need to blog about this:)
-Everything and anything related to Drill
-Watching my own little sis at Stadium of Fire
-Singing in General Conference
-...and so much more!

A good laugh...

2008-10-19T17:13:00.000-07:00

This is pretty funny, and according to the press, "Joe the Plumber" was said 22 times in the course of this McCain/Obama debate. Anyway, enjoy!

Wearing Grandpa's Tie:)

2008-09-27T08:42:00.000-07:00

Last night Springville played Toelle and won!!! However, last night was really great for me as a drill-teamer especially. The dance we performed at half-time was a dance routine choreographed by the BYU Cougarettes. We decided it would be cute to wear over-sized dress shirts and ties with our dance pants. So, last night I got to wear Grandpa's tie. It was a little way to remember him, but it was a GREAT performance for us as a team, and I know that he was watching. Yeah, only grandpa would wear a tie that combined Tabasco and golf, but I loved it. It was definitely a performance that I won't forget any time soon!

The Heart of Autumn :)

2008-09-23T16:28:00.000-07:00

I once had a quote that I loved that had to do with the heart of autumn bursting and creating all of the beautiful colors on the trees. I've always loved autumn, and I love driving to see the leaves. (It's one of my favorite parts of the season) So this last week we drove up to Hobble Creek on Sunday, and then up to Aspen Grove and Sundance for Family Night on Monday. Some of the pictures are behind car windows, but Lauren I just don't want you to forget how pretty it is here so you'll come back someday:) Here were some of my favorites:)

AH!!! Golden Birthday :)

2008-09-23T16:10:00.000-07:00

So for years I've heard that the official term, for when you turn the same number as the date of your birthday, is called your "golden birthday". So this year when Emily and I said, "Oh hey, it's our golden birthdays." We all got the same response... "You guys aren't turning 50." Anyway, but I love the birthday week:) It's great to share something like that with my sisters, and it's a fun thing for the entire family to look forward to. This year mom made lunch for my friends and I to come home to. We had a lot of fun just chatting, and eating YUMMY food. We also had the family party on the Sunday before my birthday. Because I am so terrible at getting thank you notes out, I will both apologize and thank everybody who deserves one. Thank you guys for all of the sweet gifts, and just being there. I love you guys:)

Homecoming Week!!!

2008-09-23T15:18:00.000-07:00

Okay, so here they come... the long awaited pictures of Homecoming Week! I love Homecoming (aside from the early mornings every day for Drill), and here were some of the highlights. :)Enjoy
By the way, the theme this year was "A Hero's Homecoming"
A lot of the captions are directed at Lauren, but just for explanation's sake...
This year the S was lit by sending a pitchfork down on a zip line thingy. It was really cool!
We won our football game against Provo 21-51! Crazy stuff!!! The game was great, and this year is Mrs. A's 25th year as Drill Advisor, so we got to celebrate with her which was a lot of fun:)
I didn't get any good pictures of Royalty. (Meggie Savage(4), Callie Gandolph(3), Taylor Steed(2), Emily Eager(1), and Queen: Emily Young) All of which I LOVE!
The dance was way fun... even though the pictures weren't organized so much and half of the date was spent in line for the pics. Oh well:) We had a blast!!!!
Go SHS!!

Just thought I'd let you know...

2008-08-26T16:15:00.000-07:00

MY COUSIN WON A GOLD MEDAL ON SUNDAY!!! Yes, that's right, my cousin, and now that I look at it, there's at least three of you related to him too. haha Our whole family got together to watch Rich Lambourne lead the U.S. Men's Volleyball Team to their first gold in twenty years! It was so amazing to watch someone we all love reach the top of their game (literally.) We love you Rich and we're so proud of you! Here also is a really cool commercial Rich did for Johnson and Johnson thanking his mom. We love you Anne:)

NO TEMPTATION!

2008-08-24T14:13:00.001-07:00

The Week of Accents:)

2008-08-24T14:00:00.000-07:00

So one of our counselors at EFY, Derek, had this idea that there should be a funky accent for every day of the week. As he outlines in this video, there is Mexican Monday, British Tuesday, Indian Wednesday, The Tongue of Angels on Thursday, and France Friday. He kept us laughing, and made EFY so much fun! (No Temptation, No No, Temptation-tation:))

A Steal of a Deal!!!

2008-08-24T12:52:00.003-07:00

So my mom found this great yard sale going on in our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago, and I must say, we found a true bargain!!! It turns out the wife of the family used to own a bridal and prom shop up in Idaho, and after getting rid of the shop, she was trying to get rid of her leftover inventory. The four dresses that we picked out are going to need jackets to cover the sleeveless-ness, but we figured that and altering will be a lot easier (and cheaper) than trying to round up a whole dress for a dance. We picked up the four dresses and jewelry to go with it for a grand total of: $25!
Now I guess I just have to find some guys to go with the dresses, right? ;)

Girl's Camp!

2008-08-15T11:38:00.001-07:00

Okay, so basically I know I'm a month or two behind on events, but here is the long awaited slide show of Girl's Camp Pictures... I'll let the pictures tell the stories... It's better that way anyway.. Love you all, I'll try to get EFY pics and videos up soon:)

Cousins!

2008-07-22T11:54:00.000-07:00

#1. Best Buddies:)
Ryan: "I miss Drew":)

#2. Saving the world from chaos...or creating it?

#3. Isn't he cute?

#4. Audrey was our little hairdresser:)

#5. Drew's first haircut:)

From the 4th of July up until this last week we've had our cousins in town! From sleepovers, to movies, to the Children's Museum, it's been a blast! It was so sad to see them go home, and we can't wait to see them again:) I wanted to post some of the things we did individually, because they are such funny stories, but here are some pictures we took throughout the week of different things.

Happy Independence Day! :)

2008-07-20T12:42:00.000-07:00

The 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays. To me, it is a day to reflect on the Lord's hand in one of our greatest blessings- our country. This year was NO exception:) We went to the Parade in Provo... Parade: slightly lame, but hanging with family was GREAT:) After the parade, we headed back to Diana and Kip's house to have a BBQ. I seems like it's been a while since we've had so much family at a gathering. The one person missing though was Emily. She decided to dance in the Stadium of Fire for the second year in a row with some friends. (We got tickets through her studio and through intense mouse-clicking in the 8 minutes that they sold out:) So that night, we headed off to Stadium of Fire. We got there and it was a little debatable- freedom pageant or Hannah Montana concert. It was a great show. Some of our favorites were the Dancers (obviously) and the Blue Man Group. Of course, the high-pitched screams were LOUD reminders that thousands of little girls were really there for Miley Cyrus. Emily actually had a chance to meet her, and talk with her for about three minutes. Out of all of the things they could have talked about, they chose to discuss Dippin' Dots.... She still says somebody snapped a picture, so I'm waiting for that, and then I will definitely post it. Not to mention, the fireworks were ABSOLUTELY SPARKLING! I can't wait for the 4th next year:)

Precision Dance Camp:)

2008-07-03T10:50:00.000-07:00

So last week, the Drill team got to have a personal dance camp with some members of the BYU Cougarettes. We had an absolute blast, and we learned a lot. Over the course of 3 days, we learned 5 routines, and went through a series of classes ranging from leaps to ballet. On Saturday, we had Kneader's cater lunch... (Can you say yum!?) The whole week was full of team bonding and lots and lots of HARD WORK! I won the "Most Hardworking" at the end of the week, and even though it was just a little slip of paper, we were all so tired that I took a ridiculous amount of joy from it:) I'm still trying to figure out how to put home videos onto my blog to show some of the routines we learned, so if anybody knows how please help me out:)

Saying Goodbye...

2008-06-30T15:23:00.000-07:00

The Whole Crew

How Sweet:)

Don't they just look all ready to go?

Little Buddies:)

So as you read in my last post, Lauren left last Thursday. We met her up at the airport to say goodbye, and to take some last minute pictures. After months and months of talking about this day, it was a completely different story to actually follow through. Of course for security reasons, we couldn't take her any further than the checking her bags and to the metal detectors, but it was so worth the final goodbye. On the way home, the radio played song after song- I swear- that reminded us all of Lauren.

It's been quite an adjustment in our home, seeing as Lauren and I were together 24/7. When asked where Lauren is, Ryan likes to say: "Lauren is at home."
Somebody says she's not, he just says, "Oh, Lauren is on the airplane."
He sits there and thinks about it for a second, and then he says, "Why?"
After thinking about it a little more, Ryan just says, "I want to go on the airplane too!"
Now every time anybody asks where Lauren is, Ryan's reply is, "On the airplane"
Sorry Lauren, looks like you're going to have to hang out on that airplane for the next two years....

We sure you miss you guys, but we're so excited to start hearing back from you about all of your AMAZING ADVENTURES!

We're Gonna Party Like it's 1999!

2008-06-28T19:23:00.000-07:00

Lauren left this last Thursday (yes, on her 17th birthday) for Tahiti. In case you haven't read previous posts, here's an update. Lauren is my bestest buddy, and she decided to go with her parents who were recently called as Mission Presidents for the Papeete Tahiti Mission. We decided that she absolutely couldn't leave until we had a party for her, so last Tuesday a bunch of friends met us at the park to hang and have ice cream. We had a blast playing games, signing a t-shirt for Lauren, listening to music, and just chatting. As I said at the party, the pictures in the slideshow have numbers for any of you that want copies of them. It was a blast. By the way, I have somebody's pan, so PLEASE call me if you are looking for it!

SnOw Fun:)

2008-06-24T09:13:00.000-07:00

I Love to See the Temple:)

Roomies!:) Chalyse, Lauren, and I posing for the camera in front of the mirror

Part of our apartment!

Our little buddies *It was kind of weird to be one of the older ones at YC this year:)

Last week, the Youth in our ward went down to Youth Conference at Snow College. We had an absolute blast! We got to live in Apartments (yes, apartments) for the weekend, and room with our buddies. Lauren, Beth, Chalyse, and I roomed together, and Brooklyn and Emma joined us on the last night. Let's just say that we had a little too much fun, and too little sleep.
We got to Snow, and started off with water games all over the field. I don't think anybody came back dry:)
At dinner, we discovered SUPER JUICE in the student center (Chalyse's mixture of all of the fruit juice that actually was quite delicious:) It became tradition for every meal!
That night, we went to the Manti Pageant. We had a few run-ins with protesters, but overall, it was a very uplifting spiritual experience.
The next morning, we played more games out in the fields. I totally biffed it in Ultimate Frisby and had a muddy, wet back and behind for the rest of the morning! :(
We got to go swimming at the Activities Center across the street, and then raced home to get ready for the rest of the night.
We went to a workshop put on by our counselors that was great on leadership. Our Sunday school teacher came up and gave an AMAZING fireside on miracles. We went to dinner after the fireside, and then went to the DANCE:)
We like to think that our ward dominated on the dance floor:)
It was also really fun to see Michelle there as a leader. We had fun mingling with the youth in her ward.
On the last morning we cleaned up, had breakfast, and went to the testimony meeting at the Institute Building. It was a really great experience, and it was a great weekend to meet our new leaders and some of the youth I didn't know as well:) Special thanks to our leaders, and our counselor Rachael for making this past weekend happen!:)

Art City Days:)

2008-06-24T08:57:00.000-07:00

So I've been really busy lately, and I haven't really updated anybody so far. A week ago Saturday, Drill participated in the Art City Days Parade. It was hot, but nowhere near as miserable as the year before! As the day went on, I helped Lauren pack up more of her room for Tahiti, then we headed to watch the fireworks with a bunch of our old friends. One of our YW leaders was participating in the Art City Days Survivor Challenge with her husband and a couple of other people from our ward, so before the firework show began we got a chance to cheer her on. It was so much fun, and we had a great time together:)

Where Should We Park the Car?

2008-06-21T23:50:00.000-07:00

Every year, the Drill Team has a yard sale to help raise funds for our Drill accounts. My family and friends are always really great about giving me their D.I. pile to sell, but this year, they really went over and beyond! We were all ready for the yard sale, but it got canceled due to a crazy rain storm. So instead of getting rid of a garage full of junk on June 7th, we get to wait until the rescheduled date (August 16th or so...) I am going to have to say that this year will probably be the most unique I'll ever get as far as items go. There are some really great pictures of these hand chairs that the Parsons gave me to sale. My mom thinks they would go great in a dorm room, while Nate would rather just keep one for his bedroom. While I want nothing more than to just get rid of everything, it would be kind of a hysterical way to ask a guy to a dance. My mom, bless her heart, couldn't take it anymore, and made it her Saturday project to get the garage cleaned out before we got back from Youth Conference. So if you happen to be in town in August... or have some insane desire to pick up a hand chair, just let me know:)

Ah! I'm Blonde!

2008-06-21T23:45:00.000-07:00

For quite some time, I've been getting sick of my hair. It's been one length and the same natural color for the last 5 years. So, I decided with all of the transitions that are occurring in my life anyway, why not switch up my hair a little bit. We layered it and put some blonde highlights in it. I have to admit that when I first saw it in the mirror, I was a little shocked and scared, because I definitely wasn't used to seeing that much blonde. However, I really like it now. I don't really have a good picture of it for the moment, so you'll just have to wait in suspense until I get it up:)

Drill Has Begun!:)

2008-06-07T14:10:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I'm back to getting up at 5 every morning for 3 hour practices, but I'm also back to dancing every day, and seeing my friends on a daily basis. We have a great team with a lot of potential this year. Our new members have totally meshed in with us, and I am so excited for this year! So this last week, we decided to all pile into my car after practice and go to breakfast at Magleby's. The only rule was: NO going home to get cute! When we got there, almost all of us ordered the all-you-can-eat French Toast. When we got there Syd held the Drill record for eating 8- 1/2 slices of French Toast. She challenged Ashby to a contest of who could eat more. Their competitive drives got them through 10- 1/2 pieces of French Toast, and then they called a tie. Needless to say, we laughed way hard, and had tons of fun!

Erica, Me, and Syd loving our breakfast:)

This much energy in the morning...How do we do it?
Ashby, Brielle, and Jess posing for the camera:)

Syd finished a little faster, and attempted gagging noises to get Ashby to stop.
This was Ashby's tactic to eat and not be grossed out...

She Finally Did It!

2008-06-07T13:46:00.000-07:00

It's true, after 23 years of teaching, Grandma finally retired! We had a big celebration (:against her wishes:) for her last Saturday in Diana's backyard. It was great to see all of her friends and family come together to celebrate the difference she has made in the lives of all of these kids. My job involved sitting at the book and smiling at everybody the whole night while Aubrey ran to get my food. (Not bad, eh?) By the end of the night, Lauren, Aubrey, and Gracie all wanted to help, so I kind of just ended up being supervision. We had BBQ sandwiches, fresh fruit, and BYU brownies...YUM! It was great to have so many people there, and I think that grandma enjoyed herself despite the unwanted attention.

Here's the girls and I sitting at the book (um actually a picture mat that everybody signed)

The brownies that I ate too many of...and am still working off!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?

2008-05-24T13:06:00.000-07:00

American Idol is over, and Cook has been crowned (woo-hoo!), but no worries, I'm not having withdrawals. This last week Season 4 of
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
premiered. The try-outs began in L.A. and next week they start up in Salt Lake City:) Okay, so I may be a little more partial to the show after dancing with Benji this last November, but dancer or not, everybody should watch it! It's so entertaining, and amazing to watch the kinds of tricks that people can pull out!:)

Some of my favorites:
Robert Muraine: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QLgKDJPtvRA

Last Chance:)

2008-05-18T20:00:00.000-07:00

Last night, we went to the Last Chance dance and had an absolute blast! We started the evening by making pizzas at my house and eating them outside. We then headed to the Arts Park for the dance. While in line for pictures, Rachel borrowed the car keys to go get something (I assumed her wallet, but no). We got our pictures taken, which by the way, were posed really cool:) We had tons of fun showing off our moves at the dance, and then were ready to head out. As we all walked to the car... it was GONE! Let's just say, I was slightly frightened and confused (to say the least). A. Everybody else agreed that I had parked in the place, where now sat an empty parking space, and B. Who in their right mind would steal a blue minivan when we were parked right next to a white mustang. About 5 minutes later Rachel fessed up and admitted that she moved the car as a joke when she went back to the car. Let's just say I've found some other jokes way funnier than that. We headed to Fat Cats and went bowling. It was kind of hilarious to see everybody's unique bowling styles... yeah, we'll just leave it at that. To finish off the night, we headed over to Hogi Yogi for dessert, where we kind of got into an ice fight. (:You kind of had to be there to comprehend:) It was so fun! Here are some pictures of our group! Thanks for comin' with me Chad! It was so much fun:) Enjoy!

At one point, I had a funny face too, but I ended up laughing too hard to keep a straight face:)

Chad and Me with our orange hats! haha

Let's just say this is basically how it was all night. :)

Lauren and Ben...aww!

Keilani and Brian being...thoughtful?

Keilani and Brian:)

Twilight the Movie!

2008-05-13T17:42:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I think by now most of you know that I am absolutely obsessed with Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's been a long time coming for a film, and finally the official trailer is out! Personally, I think Henry Cavill (who they originally wanted for Edward) looked a little more like Edward, but tell me what you think:

We Miss You Britt!

2008-05-08T14:16:00.000-07:00

This last Friday, Britt Dalley, a senior at SHS had a seizure while driving home. He crashed into a house, but miraculously walked away with only a bitten tongue. To find out what caused the seizure, they checked Britt out and found a brain tumor. While in surgery a few days later, the large egg-sized tumor was completely removed, but Britt had a stroke during the surgery. On Tuesday night, Britt had another stroke, and yesterday afternoon, he passed away. Within a week, we were all reminded how short and precious our time on earth is. Although I don't believe I ever talked with Britt personally, we knew many of the same people, and he touched many lives. Last night a prayer meeting was held. It was first intended for praying that Britt would get better, but turned into a meeting for everybody to unite and to remember Britt. At school, many people wore their Sunday best to show love and respect for Britt. It never ceases to amaze me how much one person means to so many people. Our love and prayers go out to the Dalley family, and Britt will be very missed!

SHS Dance Co.

2008-05-01T15:30:00.000-07:00

This last Monday, Dance Company try-outs were held at the school. I'm really excited to say that I made it, and I am really looking forward to Dance Company this next year. I already know what you are thinking... It's true I'm a mad woman. I'm a little addicted to Dance, but there are a few critical differences between the two that make me really excited to be doing both. 1st of all Dance Co. is more artsy (if you will) where Drill is sports aspect of Dance. Dance Co. doesn't compete, but we get chances to choreograph, learn from guests, attend dance performances elsewhere, and so on. It's been a long time since I've been able to dance modern and contemporary since Drill doesn't really do that. I'm so so so excited! Hope you guys can make it out to one of Dance Co.'s shows next year:)

D'Velles '08-'09 Historian:)

2008-05-01T15:14:00.000-07:00

We recently held elections for Drill officers with the new team. I really wanted Historian... it will give me an excuse to scrapbook:) The next day, our adviser Mrs. A sent flowers to all of the new officers to let them know, and I GOT HISTORIAN!!! The rest of the new officers are as follows: Kris and Syd, Drill Mistresses; Bre, President; Katie, Vice President; Ashby, Secretary; and Taren, Public Relations. I'm really excited for this next year. We've got a great team, and some great new additions this year! GO D'VELLES!

P.S. If you have any great scrapbooking ideas, send them to me! I'm in need of some cute ones:)

An Eventful Yoga Session

2008-04-08T21:45:00.001-07:00

Ryan wasn't so eager to stick around when mom pulled out the camera.

For the past few weeks, I've been trying to gear up for the upcoming Drill season. I've been trying to run a little more, and have been stretching a lot. So, the other day, I came upon some yoga video podcasts on iTunes. I thought, why not? Some were good...some not so much. As I was finishing up one of the sessions, I heard somebody join me. It seems that Nathan just couldn't resist. It wasn't too much longer when Ryan wanted to be let in on the fun. For a few minutes there, we were all doing downward dog, and all of that good stuff together. I love those little guys. They keep me smiling, and they are so darn cute! All of that quiet meditation you are supposed to be feeling at that point of the session kind of evaporated into bursts of laughter. It was a really unique and unexpected place to make a memory with my brothers, but we had a lot of fun. Note: Sorry about the picture, my mom did say that it looked like more of a crime scene than an activity:) Loves XOXO

Drill Try-outs...AGAIN!

2008-04-04T14:27:00.000-07:00

Our Team:)

What our kickline USED to look like!

Ashby and Me with Nate:)

Parade...it seems like a million years ago!

This week we had Drill try-outs again. It seems hard to believe that I've already been on the team for a year. To be fair, EVERYBODY tried out, not just new members. So with sore muscles and incredibly tired eyes, I write this post. All of the old members made it. Plus 6 new members: Ashley Lancaster (our manager last year. LOVE her!), Jessica Washburn (Wash-B:), Alyssa Sawyer, Erica Mehl, Alexus Poulsen, and Brielle Woolsey. We kidnapped the girls and had a sleepover last night...Yes, I know, a school night. We got probably a max of 2-3 hours of sleep, and came to school with no make-up and pajamas. (Drill tradition!) When we were sitting in Drill this morning, Cass (Mrs. A's assistant) realized that we had made a HUGE mistake! One of my good friends, Kiera Spencer, had made the team, but her number hadn't been posted. We drove to the jr. high before drill ended. We took her out of her Seminary class, and told her that she had made the team. It was great to see such hard work rewarded. Her eyes really lit up. GOOD JOB KIERA!;) Good job to everybody else too. It's going to be hard to see DeFreese, Chalyse, Katherine, Furner, Joelle, Tiff, and Breanna leave, but we have some real talent and passion coming to the team next year that will be great for us.

Preference:)

2008-03-30T14:11:00.001-07:00

My "Cinderella" Dress:)

Don't worry Em...only a few more years:)

Awww...Precious!

How cute!...and that's us WITH our heels on!

Preference was this last Friday night. We had an absolute BLAST! I took my friend Geoff, and we doubled with Lauren and Ben. Lauren had her eyes dilated at an eye appointment the day before, and something went wrong, because they were still dilated 5 or 6 hours before we were supposed to get the guys. Luckily, a nap did it for her, and she was feeling better in time for a great night! Her sister, Brooke, took some more candid pictures of the night for us when we were at her house. I wish I had some of those, but for now I only have our pictures. We went to Ottavio's for dinner, and there was even an accordion player to add to the ambiance:) We then headed to the dance, and had to so much fun, and then went to Lauren's house for dessert. It was such a fun night!

Jr. D'Velles:)

2008-03-21T10:13:00.000-07:00

For the past two weeks the D'Velles have held a mini Drill Team Clinic. I got to teach Aubrey's group. Our little number was to a High School Musical Medley, so the little girls got to have basketballs. It was a little crazy, but we all had such a blast! My girls were so good (for the most part:). It was so good to be able to go back to teaching dance for a while. I really love it! Last night the girls all got to perform in front of their parents in the same show as us. It was really sad, because it was one of our last performances as a team. Gracie also performed with the Hannah Montana group. I'm so sad, because we would have had pictures, but Em took the camera with her to St. George.:( Oh well... I am going to post a video of the D'Males (a bunch of Senior Boys mimicking us.) It's pretty hilarious. I'll also post one of our hip hops. (I should be in the back right corner) xoxo: meg:)

Life comes at 'cha fast!

2008-03-08T21:57:00.000-08:00

This morning (yes, Saturday) I was at school at 8 a.m. No, I wasn't being crazy with the Drill team, or even going on a class trip. By some insane idea in my mind, I decided to intentionally put myself through 4 straight hours of ACT Prep. I learned about pronoun antecedents and the area formula for a trapezoid. I learned that 23% of my math questions will come from Pre-Calculus classes. (woo-hoo!), and I also learned that cell phones are considered a prohibited calculator during the ACT. (Thank you, Captain Obvious!) I have a b'zillion hand-outs, websites, and books to check out in the next few weeks. Get this, I will be taking the ACT the day we leave for Spring Break to California. This should be interesting... The ACT always seemed like such a future event, and it's weird to finally be prepping for it. I guess it's true... Life comes at 'cha fast!

It's been a busy one!

2008-02-27T18:50:00.000-08:00

If you're used to reading my blog, you know that I'm good at it for a few days, fall behind, and then take one post to update everybody about a month or so of my life. I'm in that last stage, so here it goes! This last month Drill went to State. We did pretty good, but because of difference in some interpretation of rules we didn't place. It was a really great experience and it was great to get some really good competition experience. Both the girls and the boys basketball teams went to state. The girls made it all the way to semi finals and the boys just finished up yesterday. We lost in a really close game (it was sad!) A cheerleader in the game right after us was killed in a car accident on the way home, and our prayers extend to her family and West High. I inherited a really beautiful mahogany hope chest this month that we have moved into my room. Right now, it is just holding bedding, but eventually I'll get my keepsakes in there! I was able to go see Young DanceMakers this month and Ririe Woodbury Modern Dance Co. and Vibe last month. I'm so lucky to live in a culture so conducive to dance. It's been really fun to rub shoulders with Benji Schwimmer again, and to see him perform. The most important thing that happened this month, though was Lauren's family's mission call. As many of you know, her dad has been called as a Mission President and they have been anxiously waiting to know where their French speaking mission would be. I was lucky enough to be there when they opened the call. They have been called to Tahiti (her dad will be returning there after serving his mission there!) While we're all going to miss her lots, it's going to be an amazing experience for her and her family!

A Play on Words....

2008-02-16T21:41:00.000-08:00

I have a fabulous English teacher. I am convinced that she knows everything.... at least about British Lit and everything having anything to do with the English language. I had to share some of her insights, because I think they are brilliant, and they really get you thinking. We were talking about connotations and what emotions words seem to invoke in us. She said something like this, "How come we can have so many words for red: crimson; scarlet; ruby, And then there is only word for love, as powerful as it is. Love between brother and sister isn't the same as love between a married couple, so how do we think that we can cover it all in one word?" I kind of planned on writing about this on Valentine's, but then... well you'll know if you read it.
She brought up a very powerful point the other day, that actually helps in scripture study if you can believe it. She was talking about formal and informal forms of words and specifically brought up: thee, thou, and you. She asked us which one we thought was the more formal in biblical times. Obviously we voted for thee and thou. We stood corrected! You is the more formal. This is where it clicked. She said, "So when you pray, you are in a sense saying Daddy." I wonder if we really think about that when we consider our relationship with our Heavenly Father. I really love this way of thinking. Anyway, just some food for thought.

Happy Single's Awareness Day!

2008-02-14T18:17:00.000-08:00

My friends and I have interesting and somewhat humorous conversations around the water cooler, and the same subject comes up on an annual basis.... Valentine's Day, or as many of my acquaintances and I have known it as: Single's Awareness Day. We'll talk about how obnoxious it is to walk the halls of the high school (or at least attempt to) in the masses of PDA and oversized stuffed animals. We also have a wide array of personalities in our group... some choose to dress up in an assortment of hearts, while others celebrate the day wearing black. (:You know who you are:) Upon the preparation for this great holiday, my mom gave me a book, because sadly, it reminded her of a few of my friends and I. It is entitled, "The UnValentine" by Sam Beeson. This is a poem combined with hilarious illustrations that tell the story of Lily. Lily does not believe in love, and is quite disgusted by the "holiday half-way through the frigid month of February." Upon reading this, I must admit that humor met reality. I thought back to a tradition in the YW of our ward. For the last few years, the leaders have made it a point to have a flower or small stuffed animal in the front office of the schools for all of the YW in our ward. The even sweeter thing about this is what is attatched to it: a quote, usually from the Prophet, reminding us of the Savior's love for us. As I thought back to this the other night, a light bulb struck me in the head. Who ever said that Valentine's Day is a day to solely celebrate the love between couples? How shallow would that be? The only difference is that this is the focus the world puts on the holiday, and in turn we faithfully follow the concrete word of what our televisions teach us. To me, Valentine's has become more than "Single's Awareness Day." It's a day to be grateful for the loving relationships we have with parents, siblings, dear friends, and most certainly the love that we share with our Savior and Heavenly Father. I can tell you that this change in perspective has made all the difference today. I don't have to be a mopey statistic who buys herself flowers and chocolate, because I have so much more at home and at school than that, and for that I am grateful.
Happy Valentine's Day! I love all of you!

Glenn Beck talks about President Hinckley

2008-02-06T20:25:00.000-08:00

Hey guys.

It's clear that their has been a huge wave of love outpouring in the community for President Hinckley. While browsing around, I have found a number of touching tributes to him and thought I would share.
FM 100 put together a wonderful musical tribute that I can't upload yet, so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you check it out on their website (FM100.com)
There is also a link to "The Cane Wave Tribute Blog" on my Friends and Family List.
Finally, Glenn Beck did this awesome piece on President Hinckley recently and I really wanted to share it with you. It's very emotional I must warn you, and it just goes to show how many people the Prophet touched in his lifetime. I am so excited for the new Presidency. Remember to keep them in your prayers!

XOXO: meg:)

p.s. Sorry about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Remember to scroll down and and pause it on the ipod.

President Hinckley:)

2008-01-29T16:10:00.000-08:00

I have some great pictures of Aubrey, Nate, and Ryan sledding and at Nate's Star Wars Party, but since I can't get those up right now, I just wanted to post about President Hinckley for a minute. We were so sad to see him go, but are so happy that he is finally with his wife again. When we found out on Sunday night, it was only a few minutes until the whole world seemed to know. I turned on my cell phone and had already missed 9 texts from people. The texts were a bunch of forwards saying thank you to him for his great life and also asking that everybody wear church clothes to school to honor him. It was overwhelming at school the next day to see half of the studentbody dressed up. It's no question that he was loved. We will miss him, and will never forget his great sense of humor and love for the people of the church.

Plies, Placing, and Puking...Oh My!

2008-01-25T12:36:00.001-08:00

It's been a wild week. Okay, you're right... it's actually been insane. Region Drill was last night, and let's just say everything leading up to it included no sleep, and lots and lots of work! The whole team's been feeling sick, but after dinner at competition last night dancing happened to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I threw up about 3 and a half minutes after we finished our slot in the Military category. (Perfect timing- I know.) Luckily, I wasn't dancing in the next category, so I got a few minutes to sit out and calm down. We then moved on to Novelty, Drill Down and Awards. Springville took 3rd in Region and landed a spot in State Competition. I got home, and crashed. I woke up this morning wondering the last time I felt this sick. Luckily, we didn't have early morning Drill (that actually would have been humanly impossible.) We had a short practice, which actually involved more half-conciousness than practicing anything. Upon finishing that, I came home, and have tried to sleep, but have managed to find myself immersed in the sick trap of lame daytime television. (Re-runs from the 90's or Spongebob Squarepants...you take your pick.) Anyways, I didn't get on my blog to whine about my life, but really to say thanks to my parents who really have supported me. My mom honestly is a superhero. My dad suprised me and made it to the competition (he ditched a meeting for me:) Grandma was awesome and made it out too. Another shout out to Mrs. A, Cass, and the administration- "You guys are awesome!"

Too cool of a post to have a name!

Vibe's Sweet Logo
Some Snapshots from "Evolutions"
Rick Robinson!
Another one of our choreographers, Kellie Messerly,
she's the most incredible dancer I've ever met!
Alan Salazar...the king of hip hop!

I have to tell you about the most amazing experience I had this weekend! Bear with me, because for those of you who aren't dance fanatics may not appreciate this as much. As I told you last time, the D'Velles were invited to perform with Vibe in two of their shows. (The first being at their studio's theater, and the next at the new Covey Center for the Arts.) We performed in Lindon this weekend at Vibe's studio. I had no idea that this incredible studio existed. We walked in and were greeted by their fabulous secretary (I cannot say enough good about all the people at Vibe) and were escorted to our dressing room (one of their EXTRA studios!) All of the walls are vinyl quotes about dance, and for those of you who know me well will already know that I was in hog heaven! Rick (the director) then took us on a tour around the building. The theater, which was unreal, consisted of a beautifully lit stage and only a couple rows of bleachers and chairs in order to make the setting intimate. The rest of the audience sat on the ground or in a bean bag chair in order to keep it very personal. Sound systems and mixers were on a floor above overlooking the stage in order to make it as professional as possible. The studio's were not only lit with flourescent lights, but also with dimmed lights on the sides of the walls to use if the feel of a lyrical, or any other dance called for it. I could not even believe all of the detail that Rick Robinson and the other directors put into the place! And did I mention the cafe? The cafe was stocked with all sorts of things for the dancers to eat! They truly thought of everything. For Evolutions, they bring in guest artists and performers. Friday's guest was an artist (who's name escapes me) was a very talented man with experience with today's hottest names (Fergie, John Mayer, Clay Aiken, and Kelly Clarkson... to name a few!) He wrote an original song for the show, and impersonates many icons of the different decades portrayed in the show. Drill performs again a week from tomorrow, and I wish I would have known and told you all to come to the last performance, but the next show will be just as great, if not BETTER! And for all of you SYTYCD fans, Benji Schwimmer will be the guest performer the night we perform. (:WE MEET AGAIN!:) Tickets are about $14, so you probably either really need to love Benji or dance in general to pay that much, but for anybody interested, it is more than worth it, and talk to me for friends and family discounts. To check out all the stuff that I so inadequately described check out www.utahvibe.com
xoxo-meg:)

D'Velles and Vibe!

2008-01-14T20:00:00.001-08:00

Rick Robinson and his dance company Vibe have invited the D'Velles to perform at their annual show, "Evolutions of Dance." This show is incredible, and I can't wait for it! We perform in Lindon on Friday at Vibe's Studio Theater, and again (I think on the 28th) at the new Covey Center for the Performing Arts. It's shaping up to be an amazing show that combines Ballroom, Jazz, and Hip Hop. If any of you are dance fanatics like I am, and are interested in tickets, keep checking my blog. I'll post more info as it becomes available:)

Love Songs:)

2008-01-14T16:44:00.000-08:00

I found this great website on a friend's blog. It's called myflashfetish.com. It's a site where you can get a pseudo ipod for your blog. I've put a few songs that I love. I probably should get some "love songs" on there since Valentine's is coming up. Right now, I'm sure at least half of them are break-up songs.:) Oh well! "I'm rubber, you're glue" is a song by Chelsea Williams. We saw her perform at Universal City Walk in California, so totally check out that song. I'm a little addicted to it. Don't freak out though, and click on the ipod a million times. It takes a second for the songs to load and then it plays. Enjoy!
p.s. I don't know if I passed finals, but I survived them. I got the state certification for my computer class by 1.4%! I'm pretty sure though that my lowest grade came out to be an A-. It's a miracle! Hope you guys are all doing so good.
xoxo-meg:)

What a Month!

2008-01-06T15:09:00.000-08:00

Wow! It's sad to think that the only time I have to blog is right before end-of-term! Ha! You're right! I don't have time. What I should be doing is studying, but I've been marathon studying for like the last 36 hours, minus church. It's been a wild last month, and I wanted to update you guys. December has been filled with many things to be grateful for. This last month a new cousin was added to our family, Gavin Thomas Dixon. (Check out Shannon's blog to see the adorable pictures.) Christmas was so fun. It was two straight weeks of sleeping in, eating junk, and hanging out with friends and family. And then (duh-duh-duh!) reality hit and school started again. For the life of me, I can't figure out why we couldn't just finish up finals BEFORE we left for Christmas. I take 3 out of 5 of them tomorrow, and I'm only honestly ready for like 1 and a half of them. D'Velles are participating in an invitational this weekend, so it's "big time, crunch time" as Mrs. A would say. Life's unbearably busy, but there's so much to be grateful for. This picture is of Ryan after nursery today. He had a cute little hat that said, "I am a child of God." When I get more time, I'll fill you in about the rest of everything.:)~meg:)

Guess what? It's 2:30 AM

2007-12-27T01:30:00.000-08:00

So....hi! This is Lauren and Megan! In the middle of our AMAZING sleepover. And due to our sugar induced energy we are still awake. Please blog me guys, because I want to know how your Christmas was. Santa brought me a nano, and unfortunately I wasn't able to use it Christmas day, because I wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own. (Thank you Scott for helping me!) Sorry this was short, and I'm sure I'll regret any weird stuff I wrote on this in about 6 hours.:)

What a Month!

2007-12-21T12:57:00.000-08:00

It's been a pretty crazy month. In fact, it's been so crazy that I really haven't had that much time to talk about it. On Dec. 1st, the D'Velles competed at the Utah Classic. We placed in every category, and it was good to finally start to get a feel for what drill competitions are really like. Basketball and wrestling started up as well so this means that I am either performing or attending a match or a game with the team at least once or twice a week. School has been crazy, and sometimes I feel like I'm barely scraping by, but I still love it! The Christmas dance was last Saturday, and I had so much fun. A big thanks to Ben for taking me!:) and another big thanks to Shannon for lending me a beautiful dress. I'm going to try to post pictures so that you can see it. I've been sick this past week, but I've kind of had no choice but to suck it up. D'Velles will be performing in Rick Robinson's Evolutions of Dance at the end of January. This has meant 3 amazing guest choreographers and a huge exercise in memory this last week. Our routine honors the 60's with a combination of jazz, ballroom, and hip hop to 2 of James Brown's most famous songs. I hope that this Christmas Season is filled with joy for you and your loved ones. I think that Christmas makes me miss everything a little more. I miss all of you who have moved away, all of our good memories together, and it makes me look forward to more! Merry Christmas, and I hope to talk to all of you soon.

California Drill Trip

This is a slideshow of the California Drill Trip! It was so amazing! I hope you like it!

Rose Colored Shades

2007-11-06T17:21:00.000-08:00

Over the past few weeks, my life has seemed to fall into the Groundhog Day Routine. What I mean by this is my life feels like that Bill Murray movie where he wakes up and every day is exactly the same. Furthermore, I've noticed that I've been complaining about EVERYTHING! So, I've decided I'm really sick of complaining....something needs to change... I need to change. My English Teacher assigned us this novel, and my logic won't make sense until I explain it. Just hang in there. There is a point in the book where one character is working to convince the main character to do something that she knows isn't right. She replies by basically saying that the commandments (like the ones that tell you to be grateful) are not just for our times of convenience. And if they were... what would be their worth? What I have realized is that being grateful isn't just a commandment for my convenience. It's not just for the times when everything seems so unalterably perfect. In fact, just the opposite, when we look at life, it's so easy to see that life really is unalterably perfect, despite the little imperfections we let get in our way.

Update of my Life! AAAAHH!

2007-11-01T20:32:00.000-07:00

Because this is a kind of journal, I feel like I should keep it updated (which I haven't done such a good job of lately.) So, I'll just debrief and then fill in the fuzzy details later. Today, I got my grades (4.0). (P.S. I got a 96 on my Pre-Calc final) This is proof to all of the cynics in the world, miracles exist today too! Tonight my mom and I went to the most amazing speaker, Judy Brummer. This incredible woman had the oppurtunity to translate the Book of Mormon into her native language. (I can't remember what it was called or how it was spelled, but it's supposed to be the most challenging language on the face of the earth.) Last night for Halloween, a few people came over and hung out. It was really fun! We've had early morning practices (at the school by 6) almost every day this week. Tomorrow's the last one this week! woo-hoo! Oh yeah, the Drill Halloween party was last week. *This is something else that I'll have to tell you about later. The Stake Dance was that night too and it was a blast. Sorry this was so hazy, but I have to be up at 5, and I'm REALLY tired!

Please Pray for Southern California

2007-10-25T17:41:00.000-07:00

Everybody please include the fires of San Diego in your prayers! As you can see from the news, plenty of people could use them. About a billion dollars of damage has been done and thousands of people have been displaced. I'm going to try and find some links where you can help the victims this weekend and post them on this blog. We recieved great news today, all of our family and friends in Southern California have been able to return to their houses. All of them are still standing, even though some of their neighbors houses were destroyed. My heart goes out to all of those people!

Drill Team

2007-10-25T17:36:00.000-07:00

If any of you know much about me (which you probably do if you're looking around on my blog) you know that I'm on Drill. We just finished up our performances for football season, because (shocker...not) we lost again, and for the first time in 25 years, we're not in the state play-offs. Dumb! These are some of my favorite girls, and I'm trying to upload a picture for you to see, but once again, my computer is being way stupid. Oh and did I mention that we're going on tour to California in a couple of weeks? Thus the... 20 days until, 19 days until, etc. We're going to a bunch of amazing places including Disneyland, Wicked, and the Tolerance Museum. I can't wait!

My Crazy Week!

2007-10-21T18:22:00.001-07:00

It's been a wild week. I finished all Pre-Cal and Honor's English Tests this week, and I'm getting ready for finals next week. (AARRRG! END OF TERM!) Anyway, it's been Make-a-Wish this week. This year SHS is working to raise money for a little girl. I don't exactly remember what she has, but she is the third girl in her family to receive a wish. (Sad!) At the assembly on Friday, I got the oppurtunity (with a bunch of other girls) to cut my hair and donate it to "Locks of Love." I donated about 8 inches and after we styled it I had lost about 11 inches. I missed my hair until I heard the little kids at the assemblies talking about their lives and their wishes. (It was SO worth it!)
That night we went to the baptism of a former Drill girl. She was completely glowing! It was so awesome to see the whole Drill Team supporting her. I'm so proud of you Cameron! By the end of the baptism, the football game had already started. We raced to the high school, and got ready. We didn't really feel like performing hip hop after such a beautiful baptism. It was our best run through, and we play again on Tuesday (AAAARRRGGGH!) We finished out the night at Bre's house watching Transformers and eating Two Jack's breadsticks! (That's the Drill Team for ya!)
Sadies was on Saturday, and I had so much fun!

Sadies!

This was Sadies! Chelsea, Ben, Mike, and Me. We started the night out at my house. Chelsea and I decorated the dining room like a "Pirate's Lair" and ate yummy, yummy food! (Thanks mom!) We then had a pumpkin carving contest. Ben...I still think Mike and I won! We went to the dance after that and had so much fun! When we were done at the dance we headed back to Chels' house and ate desert. The view was so pretty from her window.
