Ballet Recital 2011

And of course we had to celebrate with Yogotogo!

Nothing to do with recital. just a gorgeous pic. of a sunset:)






We've been at Weber almost every day for 2 weeks and I love it! This year the theme was Once Upon A Time. I was hoping I'd be a Princess or Fairy, but I was Seaweed, a Rat and Christmas Feast! That's okay, it was so fun and I still got a Princess costume for my ballet dance! In my favorite colors! :) My teacher Marsha gave our everyone in our class a rose, which was so nice! Sara's mom was a lifesaver in Lexie's quick change and my mom helped me with mine too. This was my first recital en pointe and it was slippery and I couldn't breathe in the corset, but when you are on stage you forget about that. It was so much fun and all my friends are so fun and nice.  I'm going to work really hard next year!  I can't wait!
I guess this is the end of Once Upon A Time 2011 Ballet Recital. So... The dancers lived Happily Ever After!

And here are the funny quotes from the recital. Only Ruby, my mom, Ari and I and a couple other people understand them.

"Dry ice."      "Gasp!"       "Okaaaaaaaayyy..."
"How do you  try?"
"Why did they lell, why did they yew... Why did they do that?"
"There are more germs on the envelope than on my eye lashes!"
"CLYTIE, DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE SOME OFF THE CROTCH!?"
"I'll just get that off my foot later."
"I need three more pennies!"
"Ohhhhh, magtania! Is that French?" "That's magenta Lex."
"I've raised four kids, five if you count Golda."

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...
