Well, about the play that my sister is directing... We did our first performances today!!! It was so fun. Although, the first performance which was a mat-n-a ( I did not know how to spell that so I just did my best) did not go well at all. First off, in the beginning the whole back drop collapsed and then some people forgot their lines. But the performance that we did tonight was a HUGE difference it was perfect... pretty much no mistakes. I was really happy. Any way, my character is a NUTS russian lady who used to be a countess then her husband was killed by a wild boar. Revolutionaries through her out a second story window into a snow bank. She then had to walk hundreds of miles without shoes to the border. Her afghan hounds were eaten by wolves on the journey which she had to amputate her leg with a hatchet and eat grasshoppers raw. Life is tough. Any way she really is nuts. I hope our last performance tomorrow night is the best out of them.

Well my mom started a bright lights group and Emily my sister started teaching drama, so we're pretty busy (well I guess beginning's of school years are always busy), oh yeah we also started a wed. class even though that was a while ago I don't think I've posted about it. I've missed Santa Cruz a lot lately probably just because we haven't gone there in sooooo long (our house sadly but finally sold... like in june). If Gianna or Korin are reading this I MISS YOU!!!!!sigh... anywho. Hope to go there soon oh yeah and I hope to go to disney land because it's the happiest place on earth and we used to get year passes every year and go there all the time but we haven't done that in ages because they're soooo expensive... well gotta go bye.

Okay, so right know I'm in Lake Tahoe (I'm using the resort's computer) and we've had a great time the only problem is that I was really sick when we first got here but know I'm a little better but a couple other people got sick:(...we're still having fun though today we went to sand harbor it was like super windy and there were waves like 2 feet tall... a little high for Tahoe but not as high as they were in Santa Cruz, anywho tonight when we got back we went on a big bike ride to go see the Kokani (I think thats how you spell it) salmon in the Taylor River we rode back and it was practicly dark in the forest (where we were riding) but it was super pretty even though I knew that big black bears could be watching me, cause you know where we were is where prople come to just take pics of them okay well that was kinda weird... speaking of weird Emily is beside me stocking our pastors blog like the videos and pics and stuff alright gotta go... bye.

So were doing V.B.S this week so far so good I went to Santa Cruz to my bffs house and then brought her home to help with V.B.S and just hang out. It's been really fun doing V.B.S I'm an L.I.T (leader in training) same with my bff then my mom is the leader and theres one other helper whose really nice were all teaching 3-4 grade there's like 20 kids in other grades but in 3-4 grade there's 32!! So there's like this contest where you bring in cans to give to familys in need and all of the grades besides 3-4 had 13 and under like junior high had 8 and when they anounced it they were all like screaming and chearing but when they anounced that 3-4 grade had 91! they were sooo shocked but then later on we figured out we had 63 but still we won on that day!!;D 

Well I havn't written a post for a while but to catch up I had my birthday and turned 12 and today my mom and dad have been married for 20 years!! I'm so thankful for my parents they are both so kind and generous and thoughtful. Yesterday my sister Emily's friends came over and there staying till friday night to babysit cause my parents just left to Tahoe for there anniversary. Can't wait to have some fun... my mom wrote on our huge chalk board like 15 activities that we can do!! Hope my parents have a great time.

So yesterday I had my Birthday Party well it really started on friday but any way I had a great time. One of my friends had recently had kittens and she was going to give the two out of the litter that I liked to me for my Birthday but she changed her mind so my family just picked them up when we dropped my friend off at her house after the party. The kittens are sooooooo cute I love them so much, here are a couple of pictures of them and I.

                                                         All of us together!!

                           There's "Brave" or maybe "Rascal"... he's always
                                the first one to do anything.

                        And there's "Tigger" he's the calm one.
                          Even though there both so cute and
                          adorable they both have completely
                                  different personalitys;)
