Happy Birthday to WHO?? OH! To me. :)

I had a birthday! haha and it was a very nice one, might i add. We decided to go up north for my birthday (state baseball...) And i had a good time. It was kinda sad because that was the FIRST day I missed all school year, and It's going to be the only day as well. But it was nice to not have to worry about school. I got to relax! I guess I could say that certain aspects of my birthday weren't that great, but overall i had a wonderful day... I will not give you a full cover on my birthday. Whether you care, or not. And if you don't care...That is seriously fine with me. :)

I was the first one to wish myself a Happy Birthday. I finally fell asleep a little after 12. I slept...a little uncomfortably (due to sleeping on a couch cushion...) But it was OK. At about 6 in the morning my cousin Jess's alarm went off and she wished me a very happy birthday and sang to me. The song she sang though...maybe you've heard it: "Happy Birthday HUH Happy Birthday HUH, There is sickness in the air, people dying everywhere, but it's your birthday. so happy birthday HUH." A great way to start my day ;)

It was about 8...I think when i finally rolled out of bed. (or cushion...) I stepped out of the bedroom and was met with very enthusiastic Happy Birthday!'s. It was happy :) My parents went off to the baseball games and i basically hung out at my Aunt Valerie's house with cousins.

At eleven we went to my cousin Jake's preschool graduation, and it was really cute! One down-side to me about not being at school on my birthday was the fact that i love having XPress come and sing to me. It's been done nearly every year that I've been to school on my birthday!

Last year (it was at a track meet) :


But during the program when i had this random 644 I had NO idea who it could be and just ignored the call. Then i get this text from my mom a couple minutes later... "XPress is calling you! Answer the phone" So i told her to have them call me back and i went outside to wait. They called and sang to me, which made me pretty happy. *And next year i will be IN XPress!! WOOH!*

After that...Well i don't think we much except hang out... :) When my parents got home from the baseball game they took Me, Merill, and cousins Jess and Danny out to Olive Garden. Danny had never been to Olive Garden before! The food was delicious! I LOVE Olive Garden. The waiter found out that it was my birthday, and My loving family and him decided to embarrass me. So he went and got 6 or so other guys and they came to sing to me. It was a really kinda...Slow time, so when all these guys started singing to me EVERYONE stopped talking and it got suddenly quite as they all looked over at us. It was kinda embarrassing.... And you can tell from my face in the picture!



Jess and I at Olive Garden...


Then after the wonderful food... I got my birthday present! It was a new phone!! A Samsung glide to be exact. Although to most of you, that's old news. I've probably shown you. :)





Yes, I know, It's beautiful.... Or at least to me! haha

I love it, as you can see from these photo of me loving it on my birthday...




And then...We had cake. Now this is where it probably was a LITTLE bit sad. I didn't get to have my traditional cake. the one that i love. a lot. Cinnamon Cake. BUT the alternative was very good.



(all the kids present + Grandma and Grandpa who where there as well...)






All in all, very good! After that, or a little while later...Jess and I went to the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was really cute! But on the way there, i kid you not, we hit EVERY single red light. EVERY single one. If you dont believe me ask Jess ;) But we actually didn't end up missing anything vital to the plot, so it was good.

SO...

Now for a story about Mice. When we got home, it was pretty late. But Jess wanted me to have something better to sleep on. So she and I went out into the garage and got this foam pad-or we tried to. Jess saw a mouse and screamed and went running inside. And I, having NO idea what was going on screamed as well and followed her in. Aunt Val though...Well she didn't believe that there was really a mouse. We finally went back out and got it, brought it into her room, and saw that there was mouse droppings on it... Then my Aunt and her mom was a little more believing... haha. For some reason we still opened it and a MOUSE ran out of the foam. Both of us SCREAMED and ran out of the room shutting the door behind us. Valerie came to see what was going on, and then got the cats the get rid of the mouse. We stayed up for an hour or so after that looking for the mouse, Me, Jess, Valerie, Suzi Q, and Tootsie...But we never found the mouse.

Now, you may be thinking "McKenna and Jess are delusional, there was no mouse!" and if that is what you are thinking...Then you are wrong. There is (or was) a MOUSE in your house Valerie!!

Needless to say, Jess and I didn't sleep in her bedroom that night.

State Solo and Ensemble

So as you must know...Or you don't? State Solo and Ensemble was awhile ago--on Mace's birthday! It was a fun trip, I loved near every minute!!

The way up... Sara and I being a little crazy:

(Played with our faces?)




(Wax ON, Wax OFF! haha)


(I don’t know why we decided to pose with fishy's so much...but yeah-long, tired, crazy bus trip, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! :D)





(Then Matt joined-our fishy cracker pics expanded...)




(Then Blaine got in on it too...)


THEN... Kelsie AND Courtney joined! Although this time we had teddy grams.


Again...Don't ask me why we did this :)

Later when got to the hotel, we were amazed. Or I was. It was a NICE hotel. My roomies where Courtney, Sara, and Kelsie. We decided that since the place had a kitchenette we would make smores. It was pretty fun! Then...there were pictures on the wall and i commented on how much i liked them! And wondered if they were bolted to the wall randomly. I went over just to look...And i think we all got carried away with posing for pictures! haha

As you might be able to tell-they weren’t bolted...









SATURDAY...

So you may have noticed that it's taken me awhile to post this...Maybe that’s because I'm lazy-maybe that's because I'm not all that happy with the results. I was very nervous all day for the event... I was WAY excited to have Katie and Tyler come hear me, made me feel pretty loved. I was sad that other family up there couldn’t come-but I understood! :) I had many friends come and listen to me that where there, and that was great!!

The actual performance was one of my best. I thought i did extremely well-although i knew i had many follies. My judge was a college professor from UVU. Eh..The outcome was a 2+ Which is basically a B+. If you know me...you know that I'm not much of a B+ girl... I had people come and tell me afterwards that they thought I did better than that, and I think that that’s what i want to take from this. That it was a GREAT experience, and I like what she had to say on the judging sheet, but it’s not all about the actual grade...Keep telling myself that?

I don’t know what I'm actually talking about anymore... O_o

Xpress got a 2+ as well-and the judge who gave them that was the husband of my judge. I think they just might have had something against us Kanab people ;)


The bus ride home was okay. My favorite part was probably when my friends Patrick, Ben, and Matt braided my hair. I'm so glad my mom got some documented pictures of it! haha





LOVE Ben's face here. :D


Finished product (looks kinda like a braid-right?):




All in all a great trip. I had a few moments of some pretty sad things...But it was still great!

Happy Birthday MACE!

Mace's Birthday was on the 24th of April, and I failed to give him a much needed shout out! So here is my birthday shout out to Mace. :D (these are just some random pictures that i really like)

Some things about Mace!

He NEVER turns away an oppotunity to pose for a picture with me

He gets along great with the cousins his age-and not his age! They are always playing together and having a good time.







He's done some pretty cute things!

SPORTS? He's your man! He can do it all-football, baseball, basketball, (newly) soccer. He is one great athlete!!

And overal, he is just probably the cutest boy in the world! haha





I couldnt even BEGIN to post all the many many cute pictures of him, so I'll leave it at that. But he is so cute. I LOVE YOU MACE!

I like to post but i never know what to post aobut... So this is a random post.
