Hockey Game

I had the time of my life last night!

First Josh and I went to the Peaks to see a BYU Hockey game. It was both of our first times seeing a hockey game. He got each of us a puck to throw for one of the activities. Durring the game we kept hoping that the hockey players would get in a fight but everytime they got close they were seperated. A little boy with a toy gun started to come over to us and play with Josh, and evertime he came back he had a differnt gun, it was cute to watch. We learned several new things about each other while we watched the game. He taught me how to whistle using my fingers... and i'm still trying to get it right. Near the end we took the pucks he got and with a bunch of other people chucked them towards center Ice. I had tons of fun. Right after that we left and picked up Aileen.

All three of us then went to the Center for some country dancing! We met my deaf friend Gideon Neilson there who's friends sadly were unable to come. I introduced my friends to him and then Aileen was immediately asked to dance by someone. After Gideon reminded/ showed me the dance moves from before, Josh had asked me to dance with him. It was TONS of fun!! and alot easier to dance without the big dress from the last time we danced together. Dancing with Josh was more fun then most of the dances i've been to, it was never boring to dance with him either. He certainly knew how to country dance. We did some country and some waltzing with lots of spins and turns, which got me dizzy, in a good way. :D
At one point I ran into Erica from dads work and she helped us with a spinning drop and my favorite dip. Josh wanted to try some lifts but we only tried "around the world" it was fun and quite a challenge for me. Gideon showed me a step that he made up for a line dance, at first it was hard to get but after a while it was fun. He is very creative!
I've been in dreamland all day long! Just unable to get last night out of my head. it was too much fun! :D

Lesson with an Olympian.

My coach Rory was gone for a week with her son Remmington and my friend Jacq at the California pacific sectional competition. While she was gone she got all of her students a sub coach for the week like she alway's does. Let me tell ya now, I Love my Coach. Rory had asked Surya Bonali a French Silver Medalist to come and coach.

I first met her when It was just her, Jacq and I at the rink, While she was here with us we had a few photographers show up at the ice rink to take photos. Well later that same day after club practice the photographers showed up and she was at a table and there was a line. It was then that my Aunt informed me that she was doing autographs, that's when it dawned on me that she is kind of a big deal. So of course I've got her autograph now.

Later that week for my lesson, Surya helped me improve my Axel by a ton!! I enjoyed the reactions I got from her by my no fear just go jump and do it. She mainly stressed my prep/ entrance and try to jump more in hieght and not distance, then we stuck in my head 1...2.3 to get a rythm going. It was a great and very helpful lesson. Through out the week we would all ask her to play the music on her Ipod, because she had a great mix of music. Also throughout the week she always said hi to me and asked how I was doing, which was very kind of her. On the last day she got a picture with me.

It was a great week having her at the Peaks Ice Areana and a great experience!

Reception

Before the Reception we were at home playing "It came to Pass" and we didn't leave till the last minuet. It was strange driving the van with my sisters in the back, it's always been the other way around. The reception was held at Le Chateu it was a very cute place. Though personaly I would have preferred the ballroom and dinning area in the same room.
Once there, Hailey and I went right away to stand at the doors to tell those arriving where to go. We were supposed to be switching it up with my other sisters but they were being stubborn... finally after a good hour Kelsi and Brenden helped out. So Hailey and I got to have some dessert.
They played a movie of Meredeth and Colin from them as babies to there engagement then we went to the ballroom and danced. It was pretty fun, the Acting up people that meredeth knows was there and helped make it fun. They had the song Dynamite play just for me. I had the chance to decorate their car with Kelsi, Brenden, and Aileen. Also caught the flowers along with two other ppl.

After everyone left, Aileen, Hailey, Colins sister, and I went to the ballroom and started dancing on our own just jamming it up. Then Party in the usa came on and colins sister was really getting into it, so I joined her and we all had tons of fun singing and dancing!!

Wow I look TIRED!

Sisters Wedding

Day of Meredeths wedding. We got ready and drove to the temple. Linda, Melissa, Hailey, and I stayed outside of the Temple to keep an eye on Chase, Paxton, Bailee, and Mylee.
Chase and Bailee enjoyed running around and playing on the fountains. Chase was inseperable from my binoculars too.

All the little cousins together.

Pax was getting quite fussy so I took him for a while to calm him down.

Hailey ended up with Mylee for most the time and they enjoyed each others company. They had fun together.


Finaly Melissa took Pax and he fell asleep. this is us just waiting around for everyone to come out of the temple.

In my red high heels. Chase and Bailee were just so cute sitting together.

Everyone finally came out of the temple and now we just had to wait for the happy couple.

Family

Savanna and her girls came down a little ove a week before the wedding day, so we had sometime to do things together. One of the day's while she was here Bailee wanted to skate with me. Since it was just before halloween the ice rink was having a costume day (hence the outfits). Bailee and I played with some bubbles and with the walker, even Mylee got a few rides with me. We had alot of fun. I'm proud of Bailee for getting out there again and she sure has improved!

With Halloween arriving I asked Bailee to help me decorate, so we put a grave stone in the yard and some skeletons in the windows...

We also got into the halloween dressups for the ward trunk or treat party. Have you ever seen Cinderella with a blanky and a cell phone? Savanna kept looking for something to wear and was making quite the combinations. I have always loved this wedding veil, and I believe it was once upon a time my aunts.

The day before the wedding Linda, Mom and I went to the airport to pick up Hailey and Melissa. Hailey payed for her own plane ticket cause she wanted to come really bad. I'm glad she did too. It was nice seeing them both.

As soon as we returned, Hailey and I went Ice skating, it got boring real fast cause there was mostly just girls there practicing and less of an actual public session. I informed Hailey she could be a great Ice skater, she's good at dancing and balance, all she would need to work is how to figure out how to do that on ice. We had fun.


I just thought this was cute, and had to get a photo. With everyone together we had our usual card game "it came to pass". For the first time I won, and not only once but twice! We get so competitive in this game and I love spending time with family. We also watch a few movies together.

Mylee found the doughnuts and started to help herself. I was shocked to see her take her time in putting the whole thing in her mouth and then eat it. He cheeks were so huge!


On the last day as my dad was taking people to the airport I stayed behind with Hailey and we had some fun playing with our cameras. I really enjoyed having all our family in town and can't wait till we get a chance to get together again.
