So wednesday I left for stadium of fire!!!! I was so excited! On thursday we had our first practice at 6:45 am! all day until 10 pm! and of course it was 103 degrees and no clouds in the sky. I do not belive in sunscreen cause it doesnt work on me so therefor.....I got burnt to a crisp!! AGAIN! but good news! I am finally kind of tan! YAY!!! :) When we had a water break we were showing everyone our sunburns and this large lady came up and said to me....YOU NEED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY BURN UNIT!!! ha ha she was freakin out!!! it was crazy!! But funny so we all joke about it now :)

So friday morning we had anotherlooooong practice until the show that night! IT WAS SOOOO COOL!!! they had the blue man group and Miley cyrus!! YAY!! it was so awesome! the fireworks show lasted a half an hour! or longer! The whole family came up including Teri and Sarah so it was fun! Karyn and Jessica were there too! it was great to see them!!!!

Even though i didnt get to meet a celebrity this year like a did last year it was still so cool!!!

So this whole week all the kids went to phoenix! and Teri went to New Jersey to see her boyfriend and micheal stayed here to hang with craig. so here at the house it is me, mom and dad! I AM SO BORED! without all the kids to entertain me and get on my nerves i dont know what i will do!!! :( ha ha hopefully we can just have fun this week!

I had to work the day shift at Arbys so I didnt have to work the night and be so so so busy!! I was really glad! So Me and Sydnee walked around and hung out with Jaylen's cousins Dillon and Hunter and their friend Luke. We sat on a bench for 3 hours!!! THREE!!!! But it was so much fun! We were just doin dumb stuff and ya

I wore my hair stickin straight on top of my head and wow....the comments. This one really really obese kid told me it looked like I got stuck in a blender! YA....THANKS. Well it looks like you got stuck in a resturant!! He was so rude! All the kids my age said they liked it but ya.....all my family hates it so............

Yesterday mom went to cedar so while she was gone...I got my haircut!!! I absolutley love it! I mean ya its a little on the short side but hey!!
I did hear it from the fam no doubt about that...yesterday was "bash trichelle day".
"you look like a boy with a mole!" (because of the mole i draw on right by my eye)

"you look ugly" "its too short!" "you look weird!!" YUPP. thats all i heard all day long. so ya i was feeling pretty bad about it.
THEN. Mom got home... all she had to say was "well if thats what you want your hair to look like." YEA. i was expecting her to say YOUR GROUNDED! GIVE ME YOUR PHONE! BLAH BLAH BLAH.
But today i got up and did it and i reassured myself about how much i love it! Ha Ha
Mom thinks i look like a punk rocker. but CMON. i am a teenager! thats my excuse for everything!

Its my hair right??? Ive got to be craazzzzy while i can! your only a teenager for so long.....then you are old and cant have any fun...... cough cough...mom...cough cough

I MEAN.....

So me and Dillen had fun takin some pictures today. at least i know Dill will ALWAYS love me. since everyone else thinks im a man!!!!

We went canoeing a lot and made up funny skits and sang some songs.....it was really fun actually...except my ward was annoying 3/4 of the time. I tried really hard to ignore them though! Ya there are a lot more details but they are much to hard to describe!!!! Just fun fun fun!!!

Well right after i got back today I went to cedar with kayla and teri while austen watched the kids at the lodge. We went shopping then we went hot tubin!!! It was very realaxing after a long girls camp. I am going back up tomrow and we are going to go canoeing again probly and ya just hang out while mom and dad are down to St. George. :)

THE LAKE

2008-06-12T10:10:00.002-07:00

Well today was the Quilt Walk and yes of course I had to work. It was pretty busy!!! But I had fun. Of course you cant work a day without a visit from the WHOLE fam....so in comes the whole 17 man parade of the Armstrong kids coming to get some roast beef sandwiches. Like I didnt get enough of it at work...I had to come home to roast beef breath infested children! YUM!! Gotta love that good ol' arbys roast beef.

Anyways. So after work Kayla Teri Ethen and me all go up to the lake to have a bbq and go on the lake. and kaylas parents and her brother and sister in law. WOW..... gotta love those taggarts!!! JUST KIDDING. So me and teri decided that we were just going to go in the canoe since we got "special instructions" from the "ring leader" that only 6 people could fit in the boat so we would have to wait. haha well their boat didnt work anyways!!! HAHAHA so me and teri just paddled away then floated. We had some difficulty getting back to shore cause it was very very windy but overall...it was fun.
Then we went back to the lodge and went up the hill to swing and then we ate food that Kayla's mom and dad made. IT WAS GOOD. But of course i love food!!! Then we watched a movie about the trojans and greeks fighting or something. ya......so me and teri decided to come on home. ....and here I sit!! Bored stiff....

But I did play some good old "fill it in" crossword puzzles! what an adrenaline rush!! Just to feel that excitement that IT FITS IT FITS. And the great nerdy feeling you get when you realize.....I HAVE NO LIFE. So I sit home and play fill it in crossword puzzles on a Saturday night....
Yessss....well I know I made you all on the edge of your seat with my exciting night but now I must retire to my nice lumpy bed! Goody!!

CaTcHiNg Up

2008-06-12T10:10:00.001-07:00

So this is my first post on my new blog! I guess I will catch everybody up on what goes on in the life of a teenager. Recently we had cheer tryouts and I made varsity! YEA!! I am going to be dancing in Stadium Of Fire this year. So we have just been practicing every morning at 6 a.m. Yes i said it...6 AM!! I mean really! Its summer! I have started this 6 week excercise program so after dance practice I just come home and excercise for a wopping 47 minutes!! Can you say BURN!!! But its all worth it in the end for a beach body! Anyways.....

Yesterday was an eventful day! We had our new nanny come! Her name is Terri. She is a lot of fun and the kids already cant stay away from her! I only got to talk to her for a while before I had to head to work down at the old Arbys! It was pretty busy but other than that...uneventful. Besides the fact my friend Jaylen slapped me with various food items...bacon, fry sauce, curly frys, etc. Being slapped by food is not as glorious as it sounds..believe me.

And mom asks me why im so grumpy all the time??? No sleep due to SOF (stadium of fire) and work! Yes...I AM sleep deprived! Well thats about it going on in the life of a teenager besides the norm......weirdo family and CRAZY friends!!
