Christmas Ice Show

This year I got to skate in the 2011 Christmas show to Silent Night by Ali & AJ. It was really fun to skate but I miss being in the Club.

These are my lovely sk8r friends, they are great and fun people to be around!And these are the only 2 friends of the 15 that I invited. . . . I love your guys' guts!

STOP: to pray. . . .

On the last day of the trimester, I was walking to school and decided that the stop sign looked extremely pretty. . . with the help of photoshop! Haha :D

I remembered the lesson that Carol gave about 3 years ago, "When you are too weak to stand, KNEEL!" She taught us the importance of prayer in our daily lives.

Words of Wisdom:

"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful."

Roller Skating at the Fun Park!

A while ago the Mia-maids decided to go roller skating at the fun park. It was super fun, but it was oldies night so they only played old songs. Good part was that we played limbo. Have you ever tried to limbo with roller blades on? You have to have super talents, like Beka did. She won a free pass to come back because she tied for the last girl standing. So we decided to come back. We invited Brynlee and Darian and had a blast!

Hahaha! Great times!

Family Christmas Pictures ~2011

This year for our family pictures my mom wanted snow. . . so chilly! Haha, the pictures look fantabulous, but you don't see behind the scenes of our cold faces, gloves, and a heater in the car. :)

Make sure for your family pictures, find a true smile. It took me a while to find mine.

Grateful Journal #4

I am grateful for Trust. I have trust in the Lord.

Just think about it, if the Lord wasn't trustworthy, we wouldn't want to follow his commandments or live the Gospel. I am grateful that I was brought here in this time to my family that has taught me the gospel in my youth. (thank you Bro. Dub (seminary teacher) for the wonderful thought)

I am grateful for trustworthy friends.

Without them I would be lost. :)

Smile everyday because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile! :D

Special Needs Seminary

Last Trimester I got to be a Peer tutor in Seminary. Sooooooo fun! We got stickers if we read our scriptures and we got to feel the spirit with these kids every day! We would listen to Brother Condie then go to the students class room and play Ninja Destruction! :)

This is my partner Kaylee, she is known for randomly poking you in the side. :D

And this is Josh, He is known for his crazy expressions and wacky comments.

This bunch of lovely kids showed me more about the world with their light

Smile every day!

A quote Dallin:

"Wow what great memories this bring back! From the plainness of Juan to the random comments of josh. Sometimes I look back and miss the random (painful) pokes that Kaylee bombarded me with! Even sometimes I miss the pure excitement and craziness of Matthew! Man! What I wouldn't give to be back there. I think that the special needs seminary has changed me and left me with a stronger spirit and a more earnest desire to do good in the world. Just that simple giggle or smile from Kaya fills my heart with happiness for these awesome kids! May god bless all of us that served them and all of them who changed us. May we never forget these experiences that change us and help teach us what is truly important in life.

Mosiah 2:17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

The Christmas Shoes

Last week I was babysitting,and the piglets suggested that we watch this. During the movie, me and all of the piglets were squished on one couch crying. This is such a cute movie! It would be so hard to go through this, just imagine how strong their faith was to know everything was going to be fine.

Here's the trailer if you would like to see it: http://youtu.be/YFviZZv1MX8

Be grateful for the simple things in life! :D

P.S.(The Christmas shoes song is in my playlist)
