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.
