Pep Band!

Pep Band was forever ago...But i dont feel like backdating this post! Sooo.... I just wanted to say that I played in Pep Band. And then post some pictures. Pep Band is probably the only area i can letter in. Maybe i should get my own letterman jacket when I'm a senior, JUST for my pep band letter! hehe









More Cowbell!!

Did you know that I was once an angel?

Yes! It's true! I was once an angel. (besides the angel that I am allll the time. hehe)

A few weeks...okay months...Ago when i updated my blog, i wanted to be sure to post about being an angel!! But that didnt happen, so here is my "Fun Size!" blog post about being an angel. :] (sorry, my camera's quality sucks)

My young women's was invited to go be in the Live Nativity at Tuacon at the beginning of December! And I got really excited because me, being the dramatic person i am, was all over the idea of being on a stage like that! So we went to Tuacon, and it was the best!! There was such a spirit, just being apart of it, and being an angel. Because I was an angel when Jesus was born! The whole thing was really spiritual, and fun.


The ride up!


The Dressing Room! (dont think I'm lame for this picture, it was really cool!)




So heres the thing, there were many angels, but i was one of two that was a trumpeting angel. Now, this is a high, high honor, and please don't confuse me with a normal angel. ;) But i let Emma borrow it for one moment during a photo opt so that Maddie Lydia and i could pose,
Us Being Awesome! (Me Maddie and Lydia were angels, and Marissa was a townsperson!)


And we had to get a Charlies Angel pose!

X-Press! and Honor Choir!

I loveee being apart of X-Press. I've watched the High School X-Press sing for most of my life, and every second of it yearned for the day when I would be in X-Press! Well that has come this year. The only downer is that all my good friends that I've been wanting to be in with are leaving me next year. So I'm trying to enjoy every second of it!!


Elementary School in August

Event in September at the park for Glazier's Market

Traditional X-Press pinky prayer :]



Singin in the Rain!




My X-Pression kids =]

HHHHHONOR CHOIR!

This was seriously the best thing every. I loved every second of it and would go back and do it all again in a heartbeat-and am hoping too! Honor choir is when high school students across the state come together. There is a women’s choir and a men’s choir. I believe there were around 700 people in the choir all together. I hope that next year I can do it again, seriously the concert was amazing.

So there was an all day practice Friday, and the concert was Saturday. In the beginning, I felt really weird because I was sitting by these weird girls that already seemed to be friends...or was just weird. But after singing amazing songs and having a few bonding moments, I became really good friends with two girls next to me. We had a blast and I wish I could have gotten a picture with them. It's funny because one girl, Josee, is a cheerleader at Parowan so I was able to see her again at a Kanab vs. Parowan game awhile ago.

Kelsie and I during the practice day at Taylorsville High school....We look possessed or something!



All the girls except for some soprano 1's and Alto 2's. At Abravanel Hall


Kelsie and I were in the Balcony which was sad, because Mrs. Tawa didn’t lead to us only the people in front of her, and we felt very excluded from the group, no lights were on us, we were just the dark sopranos, and yeah... But we sat by some pretty interesting girls! It was fun up there because we actually had seats, which came in handy for the rehearsal!








Mrs. Tawa!! She was amaaaazing :D


All the boys!!




After the concert, all of the people who went in X-Press (minus Ian who got sick)

Also, My cousin Jess came and hung out with me and had a sleepover while we were up here, It was a lot of fun and I'm glad she came and supported me :]

Cross Country!

So This year I was the Cross Country manager! It was a lot of fun, I made new friends and had fun with my old ones! It was awesome! I used it for one of my personal progress projects. I got to write newspaper articles, take pictures, take times, be supportive :) It was so much fun!


Last year I didn't post anything about being the girls basketball manager, and I wanted to make sure I said something about this (which I liked a million times more than I liked basketball managing last year)




And for anyone thinking I'm lame for being a manager - I get to go on the trips, be apart of the team, have fun, support and help the team. And I don't have to run the 3 miles every day. Although I'm thinking about doing it next year. IF I can convince myself. haha



The Kanab Cross Country team ROCKED this season!! Boy's team won region, won other meets, did amazing... Both boys and girls consistently got in the top ten. It was a spectacular season!







VICTORY Lap!!


Boy's Team :)



The trips where crazy fun!


Me and Mariah! She is still one of my good friends since we bonded with Cross Country haha


Me and Dalton with the trophy we got at a meet! Dalton was the assistant coach before he left on his mission

Thanks for letting me be apart of this season Cross Country!

Into the Woods!

In November, our Drama department put on Into the Woods! It was sooo fun to be in, and I got a semi-main part. Into the Woods, if you dont know is a story about a baker and his wife that have to go through a journey to get many different items from classic fairy tale characters. A cow as white as milk from Jack (beanstalk Jack), a cape as red as blood from Little Red Riding Hood, Hair as yellow as corn from Rapunzel, and a slipper as pure as gold from Cinderella. I played the Baker's Wife who, although she lacks a name, is ultimately the main character along with her husband...the baker. My husband was Josh Barton, one of my good friends since middle school.

Because the drama department has too many participants all wanting the same parts, most people in the play were double casted, myself included. It seemed that anyone who was double casted had a lot of drama in the drama between them. (except guys who are completely and totally emotionless) In the whole process of double casting, my alter ego told me that she wanted to kill me. Trust me, DRAMA.

Anyways, I had a lot of fun doing this. It was amazing and I learned to love the play! We only did the first half of the play, otherwise I would have died a tragic death. So I like the version of the play were I dont die! It was all in all a lot of fun. I got to make a lot of the sets as well as be a character. It was fun to be apart of a drama production and actually feel included and have fun.


I enuciated my words to an art form


Getting hair from Rapunzel


Talking to my hubby about some beans


Trying to steal me a slipper! This scene was a lot of fun, but so much more when I was trying to get a shoe from someone about two feet taller then me. Sadly Scott and I could not do this scene together. Drat that double casting!


The group song at the end, notice my oh so amazing baby bump! (that didnt look very good)


No one gets into the songs quite like I did...


Joshua, my baker husband!


This picture is so great on so many levels. I think Mace was telling me something about the play. He was so cute because he really did like the play! And had some interesting opinions on everything...



My beautiful Valley cousins came to see me! I love them so much, Thanks for supporting me girls :]



Kelsie and I after the production. She was the best narrarator in allll the land!
