Lagoon Day

I went on this and LIVEDDDDD












This Lagoon Day was a little different......I went on the rollercoasters!! I am usually a huge scaredy-cat, but I decided it was kind of now or never, and I had a lot of positive encouragement. Like my six-year-old brother going on the rides haha-good motivation!
 I went on the White Rollercoaster, Colossus, Wicked, and the new one Cannibal! I still can't believe I did. I told myself when it was being built that I'd NEVER go on it, EVER. But there was a cute, tiny little girl in line that said it was her favorite ride, and her dad also was very convincing in the ride's fun-factor and smoothness. Plus he was wearing a Superman shirt, so I had to trust him right? I'm so glad I took the kid's advice and went-it was so much fun!! Afterward she gave me a high five :)

Jeremy will be working in Arizona during my farewell, so this was the last time seeing him before I leave for a year and a half! My first goodbye! I got a little teary-eyed
Grandma being escorted out ;) We were the last ones to leave!




With my new found bravery, I wanted to go on Wicked again (this time opening my eyes) and so Jeff came with me. It's not often I get one-on-one uncle time so it was fun to talk in line together and hear all of Jeff's mission stories in Mexico. (Plus a few business India trips)  I HAVE THE BEST UNCLES!
Lex, Jackson and Juvol. Juvol was quite the support on Cannibal. His sarcastic comments definitely made me less nervous ;)

I'm in front of a Chinese ride and going to live in China soon, so the pose was necessary
This peacock had us all in awe!
A few years ago, seven to be exact, all the grandkids took a Wild West picture. At the time, these six cuties weren't born, so they finally got their big chance. It turned out deadly in its adorableness!

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...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...

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...
