Happy New Year 2010

Happy New Year to you all!!! I hope the new year brings happiness and joy to everyone!! This year on New Year's Eve, we traveled to Alta Ski Resort to watch the Torchlight parade and fireworks!! We had a great time, but got very cold. On New Year's Day, Grandma and Grandpa Carter came over and visited us. We had some yummy lunch. I barely beat Grandma at a game of Battleship. She wants to play again to redeem herself! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Catching up...

Time for some catching up!!!! Below are some pictures of events that have happened the in last couple of months from most recent to least recent.

We met up with the Sorensens (not on purpose) and had a great time! It was very cold but very very beautiful!

How "HOT" is your tongue?

Mine is hottest! :)

At the beginning of November, I went on Marching Band Tour to California. We went to many places and had loads of fun!!

We stayed at an absolutely beautiful hotel where we enjoyed the beautiful courtyard and bedrooms.

We also had a blast at Disneyland where we stayed an entire day! I love the magical feeling and fun rides!!






My family took a trip to East Canyon in the fall and got lots of beautiful pictures.

This one reminded me of Narnia without the snow!It had just snowed so the trees were covered with a thin layer of snow at the peak of the mountain.
Life is a Highway! :)

Hope you enjoyed my mini short version of the past couple months!

My life....

Hey howdy hey everyone!! What a great day it is! Since I haven't posted news for a while, I thought I'd cover it all! I'm going to be brief, so if you have any questions, just comment and I'll answer back!! :) Okay? Good. Marching band is officially wrapped up, with two first places, one at Bingham and one at USU. We took a marching band tour to Riverside, CA, Anaheim, and Balboa Beach. I had a BLAST!! We spent one whole day in Disneyland, my home away from home! ;) I loved it. School's going along okay, with many hard classes and many great friends. I recently helped fill in for my sister in our school production, Fiddler on the Roof! It was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Our first major snow was Sunday, with some minor layers before. I'm excited for the snow and the beauty that comes with it, but the cold and the earliness is quite surprising! :) Bingham High School's football team won the 5A State Championship last Friday beating Davis High School! We did amazing and I am so proud to be a Miner!! Our school is officially 101 years old! :) How cool is that? Halloween was wonderful. We had a competition that day where we won one of our 1st places! I then went trick-or-treating as a clown with my friend and her little sister! We had a blast! I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and the mountains of food that await! Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Memory Slideshow

This is a slideshow I made about the adventures I've had with my family! I love all of my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and parents and thank them for a special life! I know I will continue making more memories!
P.S. The video is a little fuzzy because of the software I used. Enjoy!

Second Place!

Hey Ya'll! Just thought I'd let you know that last night during my marching band competition at Davis High School, our band took second place in our class (4A)!! We were so so happy after two third places. Plus, we were beat by .25 points! In marching band that's like a tie because .25 is like someone wiggled or blinked out of turn! :) So the .25 was mainly the tie breaker! We felt so proud of ourselves! We never thought we could even get close to the normal first place band! Plus we won two of the four captions. We won Outstanding Visual and Outstanding Percussion! Our drum line is third over all in the state! And our band is in the top five!! How AWESOME is that! We did amazing and are working hard so on Saturday, our next competition, we can place FIRST!! GO BHS Marching Miner Band!!! YAY!! :)

Marching Band and Eagle Court

Hello everyone! It's great to be back to the blogging world!! I just got back from marching band and it was tiring but rewarding none the less! On Saturday, we had our first competition at Payson where we placed third in our class! We didn't do our best and there were quite a few mistakes so we could have easily placed second or even first if we tried hard enough! We did great though! We have a football game on Wednesday against Copper Hills High School where we will be performing our pregame march and our halftime show! It'll be a blast as always!! Also, coming up, is my Eagle Court of Honor! On October 14 at 7:00, I will be receiving my award. There will be a cool Eagle presentation with the Hogle Zoo bird manager guy! :) It'll be fun. So if you are family and would like to attend let me know and I will look forward to seeing you there! We'll also be sending around invitations. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to make the second edition of Summer Fun, but it will, come....eventually! :) Have a great day everyone and keep smiling!!
P.S. I saw UP on Friday for my second time and I absolutely loved it!!!!! If you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE IT! :)

Marching Band and business!

Hey everyone! I've been very busy so I haven't had time to update my posts! Last night I went to a marching band review at 3:30 and returned home at 12:00 midnight!! It was crazy but fun! That's mainly what I've been doing is marching band, homework and school! Part Two of Summer Fun should be coming soon! (if I can! :)
