Christmas Decorating

I am finally on my Christmas Break and I am able to get caught up with all the things we have done recently. We put up our Christmas tree not to soon after Thanksgiving. We got very festive and even put up our Christmas lights. We were one of the only people on our street to put up lights at this time, but it was that big of a deal. Everbody else had problems because of all the snow we got after that. We did it while it was still a clear blue sky. These pictures are all from Christmas decorating around the house. We had so much fun! It was so exciting to get the Christmas decorations out and all.

Amber and Ryan came last night. Their flight was delayed about 3 hours. We got home at about 2 am when they finally got in. It was so much fun to see them again. Well, I will tell more later.

VooDoo

So, Mike had another band concert, and this one was... what's the word(s)... OFF THE HOOK!!! They did this awsome piece called VooDoo!It was absoultely amazing. Mike did an amazing job. They also did The Phantom of the Opera, but I probably won't put it on here. In the middle of the song a girl screamed in the middle, but we missed it on the recorder by like a second, too bad you can't rewind time. It would have been awesom, my brother says they added that part though. By the way, all the extra noises are either on their instruments or they actually made them.

Cooking Mishap

The cookies

The Bowl

Yesterday, Stephanie went babysitting and was gone all afternoon. As a favor we decided to make her cookies that she would need today, Sunday, for her branch she goes to. Dad told mom and I to triple the batch so we would have extras for us, so we did. Dad and Michael were downstairs and never realized how big of a bowl we had to get out to cook. We started in a smaller normal size cooking bowl, but then we had to get the big metal stirring bowl out to miz all the ingredients. We transfered the 12 cups of sugar and brown sugar and crisco to the bigger bowl and continued. We used a dozen eggs and now we don't have many eggs left in our fridge. We had to go buy more vanilla so we could finish. We thought about starting over, but then thought "no because we were so far along." We finished and started baking. We were up late watching Hairspray and Star Wars episode 6 Return of the Jedi. We never finished the cookies and ended up freezing a lot of extra cookie dough. Dad later told us that he was just kidding about tripling them, but he was a little too late! The picture above doesn't even include the leftover cookie dough. ANYBODY WANT COOKIES?

Roadshow video

This video is one I tried to put on earlier, but it didn't work quite as well as I was hopping :) It messed up majorly, and strange enough, my dad actually figured it out and fixed it. The Christmas video from earlier was a test, but it still was a good video, that I planned on posting later anyway. Well, hope you enjoy it. If you don't remember I tried uploading it and it was from the roadshow me and Michael were in. I forgot to take my camera and just recorded it off the TV. It is pretty good.

Halloween

Hey everyone, it is Halloween time again! Man this year has flown past quick! I didn't realize it till yesterday, but I will actually be 14 in 21 days. Yeah! So, we carved some pumpkins. We got a pumpkin carving kit, but it didn't work to our advantage. I guess we aren't that talentedly skilled! It was a little confusing. We all carved a pumpkin. The one picture with all of us, it shows us all leaning over our own pumpkin. Angel is just in there because we consider her a part of our family. Well, here are some pics of that!
(Also you can barely tell, but Michael got his braces off on Monday!)

Roadshow and Homecoming

These are some pictures from the roadshow. We took more, but a lot came out blurry. Also, sorry about the last post. There is supposed to be a video, but it didn't work. I wonder what I did wrong?! Anyways, these are the best pictures we got.

The first pictures are from me and mike's homecoming. I'm not in HHS yet, I am wearing the green RMS band shirts. I play the flute and he plays trumpet. We make a great duo. Well, hope you all like these ones.

Acomplished

Hi everybody, again. Mike and I accomplished our roadshow with no trouble at all. This little video is from the roadshow. We put the video camera on the TV and I recorded it onto the camera. Jenny Wright, our main character, got sick at 2 am the morning before the performance. She had puked 9 times before the performance and once an hour before the performance. I felt so bad because right after the curtains closed she was shaking like crazy. My dad said she looked like she was going to faint on her way back to her seat. But in the end she pretty much toughed it out. I think her sister said she got a blessing before the performance. That probably helped a lot. During one of our songs the music was turned down at the beginning and we got really messed up. They finally turned the music back up. When we could hear it again, three people had missed their lines. It was tough, but we got back on track. Overall, the performance was GREAT!

Stephanie's branch (ROCK 3 Branch), performance was over a half hour. Oh my gosh, that took forever. It was hilarious though all the same. We all did pretty well, some didn't even have a point though. The theme was "LOVE IS AN ACTION VERB: WHEN THERE IS LOVE AT HOME" wow ours went from a home setting all the way to a school setting.

It was fun!

Random

Michael and I are going to be doing a roadshow this coming Saturady. We are way excited because we get to be gangsters and in a bully gang. We our doing the skit called NEW KID ON THE BLOCK!!!! We sing the songs LOOZA ON THE BLOCK, I BELIEVE, and NEW KID IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!! I am planning on taking pictures and putting them on here.

Also, just to inform you, you probably have noticed it is not Sunday yet, but I will be posting stuff on other days if I don't have homework and I have time! I will be posting on Sunday's with the week's notices and adventures.

This blog is going to be awesome when I get music so remember if you know how to get the music on blog's please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Here are some random pictures I found.

New Year's Eve Fun!

So now I will take you back to December. We went to the UTAH JAZZ basketball game in the EnergySoulutions Arena. It was very exciting and we got to trade off 4th row seats. We had two of them and we went with our cousins. Our Uncle Bob got those 4th row seats from his work. It was exciting. The rest of us sat in the nose bleed section as we describe. Jazz took the win against the Portland Trailblazers. It was 111-101 as Michael remembers it. Here are some pictures to take us back to that moment in December.

Pictures of our car

So as I said earlier Stephanie wrecked the car, and I promised pictures so here they are.
