The Lot

This is the best tree house in the world. You can't argue!




Last weekend we went to the Cabin with all the Dopps. Even though it's much more than a lot, the name kind of stuck since calling it that when it was just a piece of land.
Now we have an amazing tree house complete with A.C., heating, lights, a loft, and a slide, and a deck! Pretty darn cool. Ruby, Ari, and I slept in it the two nights. We had an air mattress that blows up to about four feet high so we were very comfy!:) We also have 4-wheelers, a little pool, a swing set, the slide, and crafts!
Thanks so much grandma and grandpa for building all this, for cooking for us, loving us, and giving us amazing memories!!
BTW: In the first five minutes I got there my hair was messed up, I had marshmallow in my eyebrow, and I smelled like mosquito repellant.
Grandpa's newest creation is the Snak Shak. It's an adorable shack for all things s'mores and also had compartments for chairs and marshmallows-roasting sticks. The table that comes out is covered with a kayak and you can tell by my face that I'm pretty impressed...
 
 
 
Another awesome memory. All the sudden it started raining in sheets, then hail! Some brave Dopp souls stood out in the downpour and made our delicious hobo dinners (While mt dad made fun of them and refused to help) Since Ryan was already drenched he decided to jump into the pool. Even grandma jumped in their with him! Pretty soon everyone was soaking wet in the pool. Jeff and Ryan threw my dad in, and he deserved it!
Clint knew it was coming, so he decided to jump in himself. Brave Clint!
 
Lex and Ruby even did it! Luckily they didn't throw me in. I would have jumped, but I didn't have any extra clothes. It was fun to watch everyone though!:)

The Logan temple. Where grandma and grandpa were married. We stopped to see it on the way home. So pretty!

 We watched Father of the Bride one night in the Cabin. It's the first time I've ever seen it! I loved it! So cute! Lexie, Ruby, and I are so excited for our weddings!:)

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...

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 ...

Italia

Ciao! We are in Italy! We woke up at four and went to the airport. We cut it close, which means we just didn't have two hours to waste in the terminal;) the flight was so short! Luckily everything with our bags worked out which had been a little worrying since we took EasyJet. We arrived at the Argenti's and almost immediately left to take a train to Venice. Another American family is here staying nearby who are friends so they also came to Venice. It was weird to speak English to someone besides Ruby! Venice was amazing! It's so pretty and colorful. It was very hot and kind of crowded so we didn't stay in touristy parts the whole time. The water is turquoise and the buildings are intricate and charming. It's kind of like Paris but sassy. If that makes sense. We got yummy pizza and gelato. I told the dad my and Ruby 's order for gelato and he thought it was just mine. So I got two scoops! So much ice cream! Italian is so beautiful and basically a combination of...
