and whenever i talk to my friend brooke i always call her mrs potts so just recently she decided that i needed a name too! so we thought about it very deeply because its a very serious matter and have come to the conclusion that my name is muriel :) we figured it was a very beauty and the beast name...so now whenever someone asks me who i am in the play i say muriel the village cosette and everyone thinks im pretty cool:) hahaha

on thursday was the first read through of the play and it was fun to see everyone's parts and how the play would work out :)
plus i got to read over a couple peoples shoulders to see the script :) hahaha

and last week on monday and tuesday after school i took a french mini course!! it was SOOO much fun! me and amanda had fun trying to pronounce the french words and then we would just laugh at each other and get out the camera to tape each others facial expressions...it was pretty good...and then we recruited dayna and micayla and we had a BLAST!!!!

then on saturday me my mom and sister draeger took a vacation and went on a road trip to UTAH!!!!! it was way funny cuz all the way up to utah the car had troubles starting but it started everytime...then we get to amanda draegers house to drop off sister draeger and when we tried to leave the car WOULD NOT start! we literally were sitting there for a half hour trying to get it start and then a nice boy came down from his apartment and finally got it to start...by the time he came down to help us there was probably a crowd of about six or seven people there already adn when he got it start everyone started cheering and it was a very fun, adventurous start to our vaccation PLUS we made new friends!!!! :0)
then we just relaxed on sunday and today we went to salt lake despite the fact that it was snowing pretty hard and went shopping! it was fun!!!! so were enjoying ourselves and our vacation but we do miss all of you in california!!!!!
Charlie has been CRACKING us up!!!!!! he gets so excited every time we go into the snow and dances to his favorite barney songs :) ill have to upload all of my pictures and videos when we get home...from utah AND show choir AND beauty and the beast AND lunch and pretty much all the adventures of life :) goodbye for now!!!!

Happy New Years!

2009-01-03T13:33:00.000-08:00

I could not have asked for a better year. I have made so many new friends this past year at sowers and have become even closer to my friends that have been with me through elementary school, HB 4th ward, and the adventures of life and they are such great examples to me. I could never ask for better friends and would never trade our memories together for anything.
My family is the best family I could ask for! This past year I have gooten even closer to them (if thats possible) and I love them sooooo much!!!!! I am so happy that all of my brothers and sisters were able to come home at some point during this thanksgiving/christmas season and that I was able to spend more time with them. I love you guys!
I hope everyone has had as wonderful of a year as i have and I hope everyone has happiness in the year to come. Even though life can be a roller coaster ride at times, I know I am never alone and that no matter what happens i have friends and family that can pull me through just about anything! Happy New Year everyone!

YAY!!!!!!!

2008-12-17T15:06:00.000-08:00

ok...so yesterday we were in show choir and im pretty sure we convinced mrs. wilson to do another play this year!!!!!!!!

it probably helped that mrs wilson was in such a good mood which was not expected...we were not exactly quiet in room 402 during the concert on monday so we were prparing ourselves to die a very painful death when we were lectured ont very calmly.....but the first thing she tells us when the bell rings is how proud oshe was of us...we figured we could go with that and listened tro her say how proud she was of us for the next 1/2 hour :0) and since she was in such a good mood we decided to pop the ? and after some pretty good persuading on everyones part and some memories from last year she finally admitted that she has been dying to do the sound of music as a play...she's just been waiting for the right year...someone also suggested beauty and the beast and she liked that idea too...so now i think shes feeling pretty confidant about it...if so i am SOOOO excited :0)

hahaha

2008-12-12T18:07:00.000-08:00

so on wednesday we get to school and the morning announcements came on. (our morning announcements are on tv) Near the end our principal congratulated "the sowers show choir and concert band" on their "amazing performances" at landmark. then right before she was done talking, she said, "now to start off your day happily, we have a very amusing clip of our performers" right after she sais that me and allison looked at each other and were like oh shoot! so they switch over to the video clip and sure enough it showed us all in front of the oscar mayer mobile. luckily the sound wasnt working. so whenever i went into a class, either some of the kids or my teacher would be like "i loved the dresses!" (yep, the ones that are blinding and sparkly) my core teacher told us that he thought our choir teacher had an interesting taste in the fabric. hahaha...

then today we were rehearsing for our christmas concert next monday and we started the jingle bells rock where we have to wear the hats and someone wore it wrong and they were not there on saturday and asylin was like "you better put your hat on right!" and they were like why? and asylin was like we already had this problem with emily. we wouldnt want mrs. wilson to get mad at you too. and so i said thanks asylin...and then i put on my hat and started dancing and mrs wilson was like emily i think you just pick the retarded hats every time so rachel had me switch out hats and mrs wilson was sitting in the corner laughing....it was pretty funny!

my amazing weekend

2008-12-09T20:11:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness i have had so much fun lately :0) On Friday i presented my sciece project to my class and right in the middle of it, an announcement came on over the PA system saying that they were going to announce the winners of the viking pride drawing and it lasted 10 minutes! so is stood in front of the class with allison (who was holding my poster) and waited for 10 minutes before i could continue. at least i wasnt dayna. during her presentation the day before, the fire alarm went off as a false alarm cause someone thought they'd be funny and decided to pull it. it happened 2 times in her presentation. haha

On Friday night me and kelsey babysat for a family in our ward and then i spent the night at her house. On Saturday we did all of her chores and then hurried on over to my house to get ready to go to Barnes and Noble. Show Choir performed there and kelsey wanted to come see us. So i threw on my dress, got all ready and my mom and dad drove us to Bella Terra. they stayed and watched too. It all went really well, but during Jingle Bells Rock i realized that whenever anyone looked at me they started busting up laughing. well the people i knew at least. everyone else would simply smile and try to hold it in. i could not figure out what was so funny. i figured maybe the dance moves, but nope. When i asked my mom what was so funny she said that i was in the front row and i was the only one whos hat was on wrong. i asked her what she meant and she said that everyone elses santa hats went to the side but mine was bent the wrong way so the little white ball was sitting on top of my head right in the front. I told them that mrs wilson told us that once we were on stage, we were not allowed to mess with our hats cause that was not professional...i was the only one who listened and look what i get! ;)

After Bella Terra, Amber picked me up and took me to the FV Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony where show choir would also be performing. so alexis and carter and amber watched us and then after that amber took me to haley's uncle micheal ray's for her nutcracker party. it was a blast. we decorated gingerbread houses, played some games and just talked and had fun. i won one of the guessing games and ended up leaving with 327 pieces of chocolate....it was a pretty big jar.

Haley's dad dropped me off at chad and ambers and i went grocery shopping w/ amber cause she needed m,ilk. we ended up staying an hour and a half cause we realized that we needed to get the food that we needed for alexis's bday dinner the following night. when we got back to chad and ambers, amber showed me how to drink hot chocolate through the costco mint holiday cookies. it was SOOOO good! then we watched some old school ice skating, laughing the whole time and then we went to bed. The next morning, we kinda forgot it was fast sunday cause we were making alexis breakfast so we decided we'll fast next sunday...haha i went to church w/ them and then after church i helped tara sillasen babysit for the parents who are in ward choir.

when i got home, i slept and then we went to chad and ambers for alexiss bday dinner. we had roast, potatoes and artichokes. Ambers sister melanie came too and we had a lot of fun. That night when we got home i did a whole bunch of hw.

That brings us to today. today was a BLAST! show choir and band performed at the landmark community retirement center. So everyone in band or show choir ate lunch 4th period instead of 5th. after we ate, we changed into our costumes and walked to landmark. after performing, we started walking back, but the parents told us that we were going to walk down atlanta instead of indianapolis cause there was a surprise waiting for us. we thought oh yay well get ice cream cuz its so hot outside. we kept on thinking this until we walked into the vons parking lot and saw the giant oscar mayer wiener mobile waiting for us. we didnt get to ride in it. instead, we sang the jingle, got to touch the truck and grabbed a sticker and whistle and walked back to sowers. it was a pretty awesome surprise! hahaha

2008-11-11T10:57:00.000-08:00

YAY for four day weekends!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVE them! no school and just lovin life :0) on friday night i spent the night at baileys house (it was the first sleepover that shes been able to have at her house since april, when avery was diagnosed) so that was exciting! adn then we went to target on saturday and we got dariy queen and enjoyed our blizzards while walking down the christmas isle at target...and then i came home and kelsey and renee came over adn we had a blast. On Sunday, after church tara, chad, amber, alexis, carter, and grandpa came over to have dinner with us. Grandma has been staying at our house for about a week now since she came home from the hospital, but shes going home today...it was fun to have her here :0)
Then yesterday, my mom and grandma took me to get my character shoes for show choir...they have heels! even though the heels are only like 1 inch...thats a big heel for someone whos never worn them before! dancing in them should be fun ....:0) and then i went to DISNEYLAND with allison!!!!! fun funfun! we had a blast and later on that night elizabeth (allisons sister) came and met up woth us....we ahd a blast. Today, im just realxing. it feels really good too!

eighth grade

2008-11-04T18:32:00.000-08:00

HAPPY late HALLOWEEN!!!! this year was sooo much fun! i went trick or treating with kelsey and ashleigh in my tract for about an hour and then we met up with dayna, erin, allison, risa, devyn, ayslin, and jon....poor jon, he was the only boy. he probably was about to die in a group of about eight girls all on a sugar high. haha. it was alot of fun. sadly, allison and jon and someone else (i dont remember who tho) left early but all of us other girls went back to dayna to trade candy (aka throw the candy we didnt want across the room to someone we hoped did) no one was too ecstatic about the granola bars so they were neglected. and there was this one house in my tract that is SOOO freaky (me and kelsey and ashleigh were whimps and decided not to go to it) there are these teenage boys and they go ALL out for halloween. They set up a haunted house and they have baout two fog machines going and they jump out at you holding REAL MEAT CLEAVERS!! dont tell me you wouldve been brave enough to go THERE! but halloween was a blast!
ok...my 8th grade picture will not scan....the scanner is not working. so you'll just have to live without that for now :0) YAY!!!! we're done with volleyball in 0 period PE...and the volleyball was not my friend...i got hit in the head 3 times with that thing! it was really funny...but hopefully my bad days with getting hit in the head are over cause now we're starting golf, and even though that would be funny, it'd also be a lot more painful than soccer balls and volleyballs....but my friends seem to like to make me their target while whenever they have frisbees, and not my hand...more like my back, shoulder and legs. They told me it was fun to see my reaction since i never get mad...so i guess i should either get mad or just learn to deal with it :0)
All of my classes are sooo much fun! and we finally switched seats in my science class so im not isolated in the back corner away from allison and bailey and all my other friends. yay! and in math i sit at a table with allison, ashleigh and savannah (ms. maccarelli let us pick our seats) so we get to talk and have fun (and help each other with math) hehhe....and in core, everyones good friends so thats fun....and my teachers aide class is awesome! when i hear what other kids do for teachers aiding, im glad i signed up for ms. zientek. during review days before tests, she blasts music, and not bad music, the good kind (jack johnson, jason mraz, and colbie calliat) and then just to make the other kids mad, she balsted country music :0) its fun...and so i guess that leaves show choir...
show choir is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone is pretty much best friends...and we have been doing choreography lately (im not the most coordinated, but hey! i didnt fall off the risers like some people...hahaha) and i tried out for a solo, but mrs wilson hasnt given them out yet, so i guess well find out soon. and sometimes, if we're lucky mrs. wilson will dance for us :))
i guess i better go finish hw...just thought id give everyone the update. see you later!

hello again!

2008-10-10T22:03:00.001-07:00

i have just realized that i have basically abandoned my blog now that school has started again...hopefully i take more pictures this year. But just for the updates, even though pretty much all of you already know...i am in eigth grade and it is SO much fun! I am taking zero period and it is a blast, despite waking up at 6:15 every morning :) we still have loads of fun. And me and erin discovered that no matter what sport we play in pe, i always end up getting hit in the face with the ball. it is really funny when it happens. its always in a new way. Top of the food chain at sowers definately makes you feel special too. One of my electives is show choir and i am SOO glad i decided to audition. Mrs Wilson is awesome and it feels like one big family. I cant wait for the rest of the year and hopefully you'll hear about it too. :0)

The River was SOOO much fun! Thank you amber and the Millers for letting us stay! Wakeboarding, wake surfing, intertubing, boat rides and jetski drives were the best part!!!!!! and the card games, wii games and board game were also a blast!

Charlie's in huntington Beach!

2008-06-23T21:54:00.001-07:00

Aunty Em

2008-06-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

Carter has been wanting to wear this Winnie the Pooh costume for the LONGEST time!!!!!!!! He finally got to wear it and right after I zipped it up he started screaming! I had to catch a picture.

these are their interesting styles during one of our famous fashion shows. Carter is sporting an upside down, inside out ten sizes two big for him bathing suit and the dress Alexis is wearing is a blanket that i helped her with so she could be modest :)

these two just love to pose for the camera (well, Alexis more than Carter) They crack me up sometimes! i love them!

Alexis and Carter wanted to go to the park but Alexis thought it would be a great idea to first take a picture of the three of us with our hoodies on our head, so we had a little photo shoot before we left for a very dramatic 10 minutes at the park :)

2008-06-23T21:33:00.000-07:00

I am SO behind with my posts...but now its summer so i will be catching up, even if its not in chronological order cause that would be really hard to organize all my pictures that way. here goes nothing :0)

Aladdin: the Sowers Musical :0)

2008-06-23T21:25:00.000-07:00

I know...there's no need to say it...we all look gorgeous under the 5 layers of makeup they caked on our faces...ick...=P It was soooo much fun to be in the play. Despite all the backstage costume and some cast members missing performances drama, it was a blast. Everyone was friends and got along great. The two or three months of rehearsals definately paid off. And even though Mrs. Wilson scared us quite a bit on opening night it turned out to be one of the best things during seventh grade. The cast party on the last night after the show was definately fun :0) Everyone was dancing and singing along to the music, we even busted some moves along to Hannah MOntana...oh yeah :0) aas you can see my friend Devon was dragging me all across the "green" room to take pictures with EVERYONE! They all looked at us as if we were crazy but she was definately enjoying herself. There are definately more pictures to come as well as more explanations but my camera died as I was uploading the pictures...sad day...after girls camp, this blog will be loaded with more posts :0)

STAGECOACH!

2008-05-04T14:29:00.000-07:00

This weekend was the best!!!!!! On Friday after school we left to go to stay at a hotel in Palm Desert cause the drive to Indio is about 2 1/2 hours. We missed an exit and got lost for a couple minutes , but we manged to get to the hotel. At the hotel we went swimming and watched tv. The next morning we went to a free hot breakfast in the Lobby. We sat down on the couch to eat our food. While we were sitting there a man who was probably in his 70s or 80s came over stood at a distance and stared at us (looking very confused) for about 1 or 2 minutes. Then he snapped his fingers very slowly and turned around very slowly and walked away very slowly. That left me and Jana histerically laughing. Then we got our bathing suits back on and went to lay out by the pool. We played a couple card games at a table by the pool and then jumped in because it was SOOO hot! Then we ran to Albertsons to get a pad of paper and a spray bottle to keep us cool. Then we were on our way to the STAGECOACH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We saw Luke Bryan, Bucky Covington, Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, The Judds and RASCAL FLATTS perform! and I got Bucky Covington's autograph as well as my picture taken with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When Bucky Covington (an American Idol star) performed, it was revealed that his twin brother plays the steel drums in his band. (me and Jana thought that was pretty awesome) Right in the middle of Taylor Swift's performance Jana's friend Justin (who got us the tickets) got us VIP RESERVED wristbands so we got to be about 2 or 3 feet away from the stage~! We stayed that close the whole night despite tiny hunger and other miniture disruptions but it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STAGECOACH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL!!!!!!

2008-05-04T14:23:00.001-07:00

THE BEST VACATION EVER!!!!!!!!!!

2008-03-30T20:56:00.000-07:00

This was the first night on our way to our hotel. I was in the xar with Tara, Kierstin and Bishop Ritter. We had fun playing games and relaxing. This was our dinner stop at Wendys. I ordered a dinner that was a bit too big (just like Tara) but we managed. :0)
This is us getting some stuff out of our "watertight" bags to take into our hotel room with us. We were supposed to be four girls to a room but that didn't turn out too well. in one room there were two girls and one leader another room two girls and in the other room all the other leaders. But in OUR room it was a par-tay!!!!!!! There was me, Kelsey, Renee, Kierstin, Tara, Jenny and Ari...so much for the four girls to a room theory~! Before watching some mystery tv shows we went down to the casino area and watched a very "entertaining" ten minute informational movie about the Hoover Dam which we visited the next morning.
This is a group picture we took before going on our Hoover Dam "tour." It was a very interesting start to our trip but we enjoyed every minute of it.

OKAY so picture this... you're driving to the place where the Hoover Dam tours start. It is 7:05 five minutes after the Dam opened. You get to the stairs where the tour starts and it's roped off. You look down on the street next to the highway and see someone walking there so you have a great idea. That is exactly whaat happened to us. Except nobody got the idea except for Bishop. He told everyone to hop back into the cars (he and Sis Jensen were driving) and everybody did kinda bummed because we thought we wouldn't be able to take a tour...but we had our ways :0) So we got in the cars and we were driving down the highway and we (everyone in Sister Jensens car) saw the car in front of us (Bishop's car) stop suddenly and everyone got out. He was saying "go! go! go!" so everyone in our car followed them (accidentally leaving the doors open so sis Jensen had to get out close them all and then drive away) anyway so we get out of the car door and take all these amazing pictures from on top of the dam but we paid a large but well worth it price. Right as we're looking over the dam wall we hear someone yell "Hey! what do you think you're doing over here?" We spun around and saw a patrol car and a police officer leaning out of the window. He started yelling at us telling us we weren't supposed to be here until the dam opened which was at 7. We told him that by now it was 7:15 and he still yelled at us even more telling us the person walking down here was a certified employee. So then right as he's yelling us our drivers drive back up the highway and see the police car. They automatically look down at the steering wheel and try to look innocent (hahaa) so then the police officer asked us where our rides were. Sister Baltzer said "if we tell you will you give them a ticket...?" "No" "okay they're right there" She pointed to Bishop an Sister Jensen and told us to meet him over on the other side of the dam. SO we all got back into the cars and went to meet the officer. He gave us a long lecture and let us off with a warning. IT WAS SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so now we have a joke. The dam is positioned on the border of Arizona and Nevada. We were in Arizona while being yelled at so when we drove past Nevada we all went let's get out again so we can be outlaws in 2 states..!!!!!!!! we had fun...

So we got in trouble with the police to do something we were allowed to and to get an amazing view only to find another breathtaking view where we launched our canoes (the one above)

Our first stop was the Sauna Caves. It was damp, hot and dark. Sister Jensens headlight was definately needed

This was the first hot Sprngs we stopped at. The hike up to the biggest one took abn hour and a half but rock climbing and slipping was worth every bruise :0)
Next to of the hot springs was a really warm "shower" it felt really good

this was one of the rocks we had to climb up to get to the big hot spring. Luckily, the really big rocks had rope attached to them to help you up.

This was the beach where we ate lunch. It was called Boy Scout Canyon. Right after lunch we went cliff jumping off of a cliff that was probably about 20-25 feet. It was awesome! Although it looked a lot higher when you were actually on top of the rock.

We floated down the river and relaxed after lunch before cliff jumping. All the canoes got in a line and everyone held onto the canoes next to them. We had 45 seconds of silence. Most of the girls lovedf it but there were a couple that could not stand it...haha...that night we camped on a beach. there was a hot springs a little ways behind our campsite. We had tacos for dinner and then before bed all of the girls came into our tent (mine, jennys, aris, rennees, kelseys, kierstins, cassies and taras...a little bit too much for one tent...there was plenty of room in the other tent with all the leaders and the two maddys but nnone of them wanted to go) and we had a truth or truth game as well as i'ver never. It was a fun g irls night and the next morning we hhiked through 108 degree water to see indian petroglyphs. We rock climbed and then we set off on our 12 mile paddle. At the very end while we unpacked the canoes we had a HUGE water fight. Idont mean to brag or anything ...but I got EVERYONE wet...yeah and all the girl gained up on Bishop and we just had a water fight fo r the last twenty minutes

So to sum all this up...it was pretty much THE BEST VACATION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the night before Halloween. (Halloween was on a Sunday that year) Kristy came downand Haley came as well. I was a gumball machine, Haley was a witch, and Kristy was the statue of liberty. Afterwards, we went down to Don Jose's for dinner. After dinner we went to Grandma Pitt's house and started to roll around, trying to pop all the balloons in my costume.

In the summer we (Chad, Amber, Alexis, Carter, mom, dad, Alissa, and me) went to Utah as a family to drop Alissa off at her dorms for BYU. I had never been to Temple Square before so we stopped by and took a couple of pictures in front of the temple.

Whenever Alex and I get together, we go crazy. We act weird, we take random pictures, and best of all have fun. This night was the craziest of all. We were dancing along to music, taking a midnight run to Del Taco while blasting the music, and hanging out in my room!
