Ballet in the Pool

I didn't have dance today so I decided to do some ballet in the Hatch's swimming pool. My dance teacher said it would be good to do when I'm on breaks so I gave it a try. It was actually a lot of fun! Kind of hard and weird, but fun! It was also slightly awkward when a bunch of teenage boys showed up to work on their yard. Oh well! Such is life!

Lawn Mower Days

So this is kind of boring, but the other day I was going to mow the lawn. I realized the mower was absolutely filthy and I refused to ride it until it was cleaned. So I got out the hose and... Waalah! It was still pretty dirty, but rideable now.

Fun at the Cabin!

Here are some photos from the cabin. I know they should probably be on the Seely's blog, but I I wanted to do them anyway. Mom made a beautiful plastic dress on Addie from the ping pong table box. It was so cute. She looked like a little Nephite princess.

Logan insisted on helping Dad and Nic put together the ping pong table! It was cute to see his more manly side!

I Made It!

So, for any who don't know I made it into Utah Regional Ballet II. This is the pre-professional level before Utah Regional Ballet. I had an interview with Jackie Colledge (director) today and she said they would love to have me! I'm super excited (and maybe a little nervous :)) It's going to be a busy but fun and rewarding year that I'm completely looking forward to! Plus, no more dreams, good or bad, that I will have to endure!

Just a Little Thought

So, I've gotten more into blogging and unfortunately it is now the end of summer. Oh well. Anyway, I have a little thought to share. The other day I was feeling somewhat down and I just had anger inside of me. All I wanted to do was be alone. I felt like a bad person for having these feelings until I remembered something that was said in a book?/movie. In the 5th Harry Potter movie, Harry tells Sirius Black (his godfather and only family) that he just feels so angry and frustrated all the time. He says he feels like he is turning evil. Well, the Sirius comes to his rescue and says(more or less),

"The world isn't split into good people and death eaters. We each have good and bad in us. The thing that matters is the part we choose to act on."

I watched this scene up at the cabin and I just felt so much better and motivated to act on the good in me. That is something I have been working on and that quote definitely helps remind me.
