Prom Dress



Well everyone, This is my Prom dress. We still have a few changes to make. And I may still need some jewelry. It's a lime-green color. I have silver sandal heals to wear with it. I actually borrowed the dress. So thanks Shari!

St. George

Well, I spent 12-14 of March in St. George. Oh the weather was great. I could wear my Capri's and short-sleeved t-shirt without getting cold. I wish I had gotten a tan though. Gosh dang it Brynlee... 

I went to St. George for State Academic Decathlon and State Speech. Both were fun! I had some pretty interesting experiences though. During my interview for Acadec the lady told me I looked nice coming from a small town. How do I take that? The tests were hard. Maybe I should study more. Dianna Knight was my chauffeur. She took me between the 2 events. THANKS A BUNCH!! 

The speech team did well. None of us made it to the final rounds though. At the end of the 1st day we went to a play. I think it was called 110 Degrees in the Shade. At the end of the play they had it rain on stage. By the end all the actors were drenched. After that Becca took Heather and I to get some food. Becca made Heather and I walk through the drive through. I'm not kidding either. We literally got out of the car and walked through because Becca didn't want to order.  All in all it was a good trip. Remember to Live Long and Prosper!

The temple was beautiful. This was the best pic I could get.

During speech a couple of us had to kill time. During this time the National Anthem was sung on a loud speaker and this flag flew over us. It was pretty cool!

We got bored. So when we went shopping I bought a frisbee. If you look close you can see the frisbee too.

Meg's Birthday

I know, it's been forever since I last wrote. But I wanted to do these pictures of Meg. We just barley got them on. Meg came home for her Birthday early. It was on Friday February 20. It was a surprise to all of us. We didn't think she was coming home at all. Here are just a few pics from that night.
Look Cassy, cards. Do you think this has anything to do with Christmas?

Another cookbook.... Charla, you must think I am my mothers daughter.
Hide me! NO more pictures!
Ah, it smells soooo good!
Look it's Christmas again :)

Don't You just love the Candles
 The Mishap. Mom told me to get some spices from the cupboard. As you can see, some ended up as Meg's candles

Party Party

This is my last post for the night. Friday night I went to a party at Gordons. Emy and Rachel were having friends over. My group played lots of mind games. We played pass the scissors, Chinese writings, and psychiatrist. Oh it is fun to play these games with people who don't know them. MuHaHaHaHa :)

Prom

After the funeral we went prom dress material hunting. Oh what great fun.... My Aunt Mary was with us too. If you've ever been in a fabric store with those 2 you'll get what I mean about great fun. Actually it wasn't to bad. I have 2 types of material. 1 is a purply silvery material with silver sparkly designs on it. The 2nd material is a clear material with sparkles all over. This will go over the 1st material. It should be gorgeous!!

Funeral

On Tuesday we (Mom, Mandy, Mary, and I) went to my mom's Aunt Mary's funeral. It was sad and funny. The only sad part about it was Grandma didn't realize it was her sister funeral. When she did she said, "You mean my own sister died and they didn't tell me?" Her sister Elaine then said, "Helen, of course they told you! You just forgot." On the last call for looks Grandma went up and stared at Mary for a few minutes. No one else went up.
Now for the funny things. Mary's son talked. He started his talk by saying, "Electrons, electrons, electrons, are no longer electrons." He was talking about the email he wrote of his mother's life. It was an excellent talk. The lady who sang did well too. My favorite was the piano playing. Man, she just could have kept on playing!
After the funeral Uncle Stan brought Grandma a walker with a seat. Oh buddy. Grandma was not happy with Uncle Stan. She told him SHE DID NOT NEED THE WALKER! Then Aunt Ann sat in the walker. Uncle Stan pushed her around the foyer. They were showing Grandma how to use it. Aunt Ann started waving as if she was in a parade. It was hilarious!!
When we were outside getting Grandma in the car Aunt Jerilyn got into the walker. She told Uncle Stan to push her to the car. Uncle Stan started to push her. Not long after starting Aunt Jerilyn stood up. Uncle Stan then said, "What are you doing? You're going to make us wreck!" Aunt Jerilyn replied, "I know you're going to make us wreck!" After this small argument she sat  back down. Uncle Stan then pushed her the rest of the way to the car.
Sorry there aren't any pics. I keep forgetting to take my camera with me.

DANCE DANCE DANCE

I don't know if you folks remember a post I had posted called Decisions...Decisions... Well in that post I was debating about a dance class. Well I decided to take. I'm very glad that I did. I have a blast and I really like all the people in it and the dance instructure. One of the dances we are doing is a Pas A Doble (I think that's how you say it). This dance is a Spanish Dance. I am one of the trickster girls. I have bruises from doing this. Well I guess I only have 1 bruise from the death fall. Scary sounding I know. The guy and girl lock arms. Then the girl just falls. The first 3 times I did this I had to close my eyes. The other trick I've learned I call it the Peter Pan trick. The guy flips the girl onto his shoulder. The girl looks like Peter Pan when he is flying. We just sit on their shoulder, until they flip us down. I lied. I learned another trick. The guy lifts us over their heads. It's kind of hard to explain. So hopefully I will get some pictures so you can see.
