a peek inside

     A year ago my sister got me a Smash book for Christmas. A Smash book is like a scrapbook and a journal combined. I love it. Its a great place to record memories and add bits and pieces about yourself. I least thats how i use it. Hobby Lobby usually has these with lots of accessories. I love coming up with new ideas for it. I even have a Pinterest board for it. The page I am working on know is about my love for snail mail, with a few letters and packages I got this summer. There are endless possibilities for a Smash book.

For a great summary of what a Smash book is click here.

'I'm Awesome'

My brother Ethan hangs out with a neighbor friend almost every day. Max (the friend) thinks Ethan is really awesome and Ethan knows that. I overheard this conversation:

Ethan: "I'm not cool. Am I cool?"

Max (eager): "Your cool!!!"

Ethan: *superman smile* "Yeah, I'm cool."  

You could say Max is too much of a confidence booster...Ethan was told by my Mom to tell Max he was cool, too. 

Love you bro!

Cast party

  Several months ago I preformed in Beauty and the Beast. I was Chip, and it was a fun and delightful week of preforming. It was so much fun to spend the week with all of my friends from co-op. We made so many good memories, that I hope I will never forget. Such as the midnight party after a performance when we went to I-Hop, and I got a rather large (huge) stack of pancakes. The boys finished it off for me. :) And spraying 'tea' (water) at Lefou. That was probably my favorite part of being Chip. And of course the thrill of performing every night. A part I could forget is my human again costume. I think I prefer being a tea cup rather than a boy.  I can hardly wait for next year's show to be announced.

THING'S I'VE LEARNED

snow can be in CO even in the middle of the summer heat
new memories are the best
tie dye T-Shirts help keep track of everyone when you are touring

THINGS I DID

Ate at a litte coffe place where they claimed to have the "best donuts ever"...not true

climbed (drove) 14,110 feet

was in a mini horse show

went on the biggest zip-line on the left side of the Mississippi river
visited friend in CO
hiked a lot

THINGS I'VE LOST
a pair of flip-flops
bobby pins, of course
my dignity when it comes to singing out loud

THINGS I MISSED
