My First Jump Dive

This is my first time jumping then diving!! I learned to do it this summer and I am having a ball with it!

Fun at Hogle Zoo!

David Archuleta

I am so sad that David A. didn't win! I like David Cook but I LOVE David Archuleta. In this picture he is sending a text to someone about how he was having dinner with his beautiful future wife named Lauren Poulsen! hahahahahahaha!!

Cousins

Here I am with my cute cousins and Becca after Jake & Jed's baptism. Kelsie is posing, Ashley is leaning on me, Katie is covering her eyes, and Becca is up front looking cute! I love my cousins and I am so glad that they could come to Richfield. I am also happy for Jake & Jed - congrats you guys!

Temple, Ocean and Wicked

While we were in California, we went to the LA Temple, Culver City, and the Beach! I love the ocean! We were also able to go see Wicked again! I LOVED IT! I liked Elphaba better the first time we saw it but this one did a good job too. After, we went to the back of the Theater and got autographs and pictures when the cast came out. This is a picture of us with Megan Hilty, who plays Glinda. She is soooo good! It was such a great trip!

My American Idols!

I went to dinner with David Archuleta! My cousin Jessica is good friends with him so she was able to arrange for all of us to hang out with him after American Idol on Tues., April 22. It was sooooooooooooooooo much fun! I can't even describe it! He is so nice and cute! He had just eaten french fries and didn't want to get grease on my shirt so he made a fist for the picture! It was funny! When we took him home, we met Brooke White! She was so nice and sweet and talked to us for a while. Then, when we were leaving, Syesha went by and we said Hi to her and she said, "Hi you guys!" It was such a fun night!

Volleyball

Volleyball is a blast! We have a great team and we are getting better and better. We won both of our games yesterday. I just love volleyball!

The Cutest Puppies Ever!

Tali and I had fun visiting Dekes' cute puppies. They are so playful and it is so much fun to have them chase after you and play. They have named them all really cute names like Bell, Tuff, Violet, Chief, Doug, Speedy, Tank, Quinn, Kiss, Blackie, Daisy & Slugger (I can't believed I remembered all of them!) We are going to keep either Blackie or Tuff. They kept untying Tali's shoes and playing with her shoelaces. Becca was running and screaming every time they chased her. My favorite puppies are Violet and Bell because they are so small and sweet. They have started going to their new homes now and I will miss them! They are adorable!

Chef Lauren

I love to cook! Today I made homemade rolls from start to finish all by myself! They were delicious! I also made chocolate chip cookies and they turned out great too! My favorite thing to make is french toast and pancakes and whenever I have a sleepover, my friends and I make breakfast. Cooking is so much fun! I love it!!

Laguna Beach

Becca

Becca is the cutest three year old in the universe. She is adorable and always keeps us laughing. She has the biggest blue eyes and the cutest mouth! Becca loves to suck on her thumb and hold someone's ear at the same time(a unique habit). I gave her new shoes for Christmas and whenever someone asks to see them she jumps and lands with her feet apart and her hands on her hips! Becca loves football and she likes to play with the boys! Our family always tells her that she is too small for lots of things. Whenever we do, she always says"lotion not to big for me"(ocean isn't to big for me) or "I bigger to Cannon"(I am bigger than my friend, Cannon). She always tries to be a peacemaker and says "Guys, Jesus wants us to be nice". I LOVE Becca with all my heart and soul!!!

Wicked!

Am I the only person who can't get Wicked out of their head? But really, I don't want to get it out of my head! Going to see Wicked in Hollywood over Christmas break was more than I could ever imagine! I LOVED IT! I've been singing to the soundtrack ever since - I listened to it before but now it has really come alive! My favorite song is "The Wizard and I". We were in Laguna Beach and my mom told me to look at an envelope on the counter and see what was in it. I had just woken up and I was tired but when I looked in the envelope and saw two tickets to Wicked I just didn't get it! I just looked at my mom and said (not very excitedly) "there's two tickets to Wicked". She smiled and said "Yup!" and then it clicked - I said "NO WAY!!!!!!!" We drove to LA and I took my first taxi ride to the theater and drank boiling hot hot chocolate and ate a yummy cinnamon roll at the deli next door. I had butterflies before the show because I couldn't believe that it was really happening! The theater was huge - we sat on the 4th row on the left side. The story was pure magic and the singing incredible!
