Spotlight Dance Competition

Over this weekend I had my Spotlight dance competition. It was insane. I performed really well, but there was some rough spots. For example, a girl was throwing up so bad that she couldn't go on stage. Another girl had an asthma attack after a dance. Another girl got dropped on her butt on stage. It was pretty crazy but still we ended up doing really good. Our Jazz (Glitter) got the highest award and 4th place overall. Our Tap dance (It's Not Unusual) got the highest award and 3rd place overall. Our Contemporary dance (Seven Nation Army) got the second highest award. My hair afterwards was a mess. It was put into a bump and sprayed with Aqua Net, the stiffest hairspray ever. It was a pain to get out. Even a day later, my hair still smells like Aqua Net. I managed to take some pictures, though.

All my yucky make-up.

Me with my make-up on. It doesn't even look like me!!!!

The line of dancer stuff. Our dressing room tables were littered with three things: make-up, hairspray, and junk food.

My hair once I took it down from the bump.

Lucky for me, I was able to collect our jazz awards and take pictures with them. Notice how this is my hair AFTER I brushed it.

I got this amazing shirt. It says,''My dance season never ends''. I love that t-shirt.

Cash & Guns

Oh yes, Cash & Guns. This is an interesting but fun game. I know it sounds weird, but once you get to playing it, you can't help but say,''one more time!!!'' Cash & Guns is when everybody receives a foam gun. Then you point it at somebody and all this stuff goes down. Whoever doesn't get killed, gets money. Money makes you win. Guess who won the very first game??? ME!!!!! That's right, I surprisingly won. I couldn't believe it either.

Zombie Brother

One day after family home evening Ian left the room then came back looking like this. He randomly started acting like a Zombie. I just had to snap some pictures of him. It is so Ian. I know it will make you smile because I did. Or maybe it is a ''you had to be there'' moments.......

Go Away Sun!!!!

The past couple of days there has been the lovely weather of rain. I love the clouds and all the rain spilling down your window. It is like a breath of fresh air. However, on Thursday the sun started to show. :( I took pictures of the sun through the window at about 6:30 p.m. I just want the storms to come back!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!!! Or, as I say, Happy Single Awareness Day!!!! I am single and proud!!!! Even though I believe this holiday has gone very commercial, I still love all the heart shaped candies. For Valentines Day my parents got me a card, a Resses heart (which I don't have a picture of because I ate it so quick), and The Breaking Dawn Part 1 DVD. I LOVE that movie. Of course besides those things there are other romantic things you could do on Valentines Day. Such as roses and Pride & Prejudice movie night. Anyways, I hope you all had an amazing Valentines Day!!!!

Breaking Dawn is a great romantic movie for Valentines Day. I don't care what anybody says, but this is a great movie!!!

Or, if you prefer a toned down still amazingly romantic movie you have Pride & Prejudice. Boy, Mr. Darcey is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing and cute!!!!

Candy Time!!!!

There is always something that makes my day no matter what. That thing is our holiday candy bags. My grandparents send us candy for certain holidays a couple times a year. On Tuesday, we received our bags in the mail for Valentines Day. They are always stuffed with candy. It made my day to see it so of course I took these pictures.

The bountiful candy.

Loli-pop yummiess!!!

Sneak Peak

I have a sneak peak for you guys. I have most of my dance costumes and I wanted to show you a little sneak peak of them. Once I get all my costumes, I will put them on and take pictures of them for you. Then, you will be able to see them full on. But, for now this is what you get.

They aren't the best pictures but sneak peaks aren't meant for the best quality stuff. You just can see all the fabrics and sparkle. Oh, yes lots of sparkle.

The Ultimate Nerf Gun

On Saturday, my brothers got extremely board. When boys are board everybody knows weird ideas spring up. So, what do my brothers do??? Build an ultimate nerf gun. It is composed of three new guns taped together and strapped to a toy box. They get a long piece of string and string it in front of all the triggers and all at once pull the rope and the three guns go off at once. Then, to my stupidity I agreed to video tap them shooting the gun. What I didn't know (or figure out until they strapped the goggles on my face) was that I was going to be in the line of fire sitting at the end of the hallway, being shot at. They claimed they wanted the 3D effect on the video. Here are pictures of the crazy gun.

All the left over bullets.

Word of advice: if your brother ever wants you to shoot a 3D video involving nerf guns, say no.

A Day with a Friend!!!

Over the weekend, my friend who moved to Utah about six months ago visited. It was great to see her!!! We of course, hung out and had lots of giggles. I mean, who wouldn't???? I miss her so much!!! Not only did we hang out but we also went to a wedding reception with more of my friends there!!!Being myself, I couldn't resist taking pictures so here are some.

Oh, yes of course I put this picture up!!!!

During the day not only did she come over to hang out (one of the far right) but our other friend who lives here came over to hang out. We defiantly had a fun time.

In this picture the friend from Utah was behind the camera and in front of the camera is me and my other two friends from here!!!!

It was great to hang out with everybody!!!!

Young Womens Craft

For mutual our young women's made this super cute craft. We got to paint them ourselves and everything. It is a wooden frame and then on the inside it says, ''Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you.''-President Herold B. Lee

This is on the front.

On the side.

Fitness Tip

In the past one to two months I have realized I have the WORST upper body strength. I am just pitiful. It's so bad that I had to use the same bowling ball as my 10 year old brother just because I am weak. You might be like, but shes' a dancer of course she has strength. Ya, lower body strength!!! One dance class our teacher recommend these rubbery bands. She gave us workouts you could do with them and I just wanted to show you some.

These are the magical bands. The pink is easy, green is medium, and blue is hard. I am happily at green!!!

So you put them under your foot and pull them up to shoulder width.

Or put your elbow into your side and pull it up and down.

Or put it under your foot and pull it up over your head as if you are doing a fist pump.

These are great for any athletes or if you just want upper body strength!!!

Beatles Love

This week, as a reward I got to see Beatles Love. Let me just say that show is INSANE!!!!! There is all this dancing that really got my attention.I really don't know how to describe how awesome and crazy it is. I am a huge Beatles fan. When I saw this I became a bigger fan. I told my mom I was trippin the whole entire show!!!! I really recommend it for anyone. Need a show to see on the strip? Beatles Love all the way!!!!! Now I have Beatles songs playing through my head. 

These are the tickets that you got.

My new super cool Beatles t-shirt!!!!!

 You might be thinking,''No way!!!! Aubrey's on crack. She was down on the strip......'' But no!!!! This proof that I was going slightly insane. This is the part when they take the bed sheets and spread them all over the ground floor. At this point it is not even extended all the way. There still is more!!!! See, I am not messing.
