Freestone's Party!





Ruby, Ari and I all had our 8th birthdays at the Lion House. I think it was my favorite Birthday party ever! I want to work there when I'm older, way older:). It is in Brigham Young's past house. The hostess tells pioneer stories; how the house came to be and other fun stuff. Did you know he had 56 kids?! No wonder the house is so big. We played Button, Button Who Has The Button? And ate little sandwiches, lemonade, pretzels and carrots and cake and ice cream of course! I love the cake, it is so yummy. The chef hides 1 gum ball in the cake and whoever finds it in their slice of cake gets a whole year of good luck! This time Tanner got it. Henry, Chase, Tanner, Jake, Ari, Ruby, mom, dad, me, Jackson and Collin and obviously Freestone came. The boys got to wear coonskin hats with real raccoon tails and the girls wore pioneer bonnets. Free got some cool gifts and he loved being the leader where ever we went. The boys had lots of fun, especially when we got to pull taffy! They all went home with a little bag of their taffy, a gingerbread/sugar cookie and a lion house bib. Brigham Young wore a bib type thing over his beard because he had a dream he was in such a hurry one morning, he gave a whole talk at church with crumbs in his beard, and the whole congregation was laughing. The boys thought that was pretty funny. Happy Birthday Free! Love ya!

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

Senior Flute Recital

*(I'm catching up)* November 21st Another rite of passage as my mom would say! Senior Flute recital! I had probably been practicing and preparing the repertoire for almost two years, not to mention the 8 years before that which allowed me to get to the level required to play the pieces. Cindy told me a Senior Recital wasn't required, but encouraged. It was good practice for auditions, stress and pressure management :) ;) and it was a good motivator to practice. I'm so glad I did it, even if it did seem overwhelming at times. I really started to love the flute during the months leading up to the recital. It was exciting to have something to work for and know that soon I could show what I'd been doing for so many years. I worked hard, but wasn't always the most dedicated student. Priorities often put flute behind school and ballet. Dance is my true passion and has been for so many years, but music has helped with dance and I'm thankful for the balance fl...

So my parents are off to Paris with Freestone and Tizzy. Lucky ducks! My grandparents are staying with us some of the time, but a lot of babysitting and homework is in-store for me this next week and a quarter so I was kinda stressed out. I spaced all my homework and remembered at 11 pm last night that I had a 100 question biology test, 2 Honors English assignments (That included reading) and 6 pages of math. So I woke up at 6, did it, planned to do the math during lunch and got ready in about 2.7 minutes. Luckily, I had tutorial so I went to get Algebra 2 help and finished that. Yay! And my science test turned out to be good, I could use notes and a textbook. I am so relieved right now and I think Heavenly Father helped a lot today. The Epic of Gilgamesh has nothin' on me today! :) PS Have fun in Paris guys! We'll miss you but not too much, I mean You're In Paris! :)
