Horses

So my latest summer project is horses. My brothers are into horses, me and my sisters not so much. But I decided that I wanted to try again. So I started helping my brother train this horse and it just got to be to much. So last month my other brother told me that his horse, the one that he has had for tweleve years or longer, he was thinking about selling it. I jumped on that , I love this horse, he is pretty old but he is a really good horse, I rode him yesterday and it had been so long since he had been riden he was troting when I got him in the arena.

I'm still working with him but I really want to do it. School is going to start soon and I need something to do this year. It will make the school year barable. Anyway, sorry that I have not been writing much, like I said I have been pretty busy.

Parasailing in Hawaii

So I have been back from Hawaii for about two and a half weeks. I had so much fun, we went to the beach, snorkling, and alot of other fun stuff. I think the funnest and scariest think that we did was parasailing. What that is, is you sit next to a partner that you pick and the captain gives you a harness to sit in, your harness is straped to a parachute. When you go into the air you sit on the back of the boat and your rope is on a pully system. As you go into the air your a human kite. However, if your rope snaps, you unhook yourself from your parachute and free fall to the water. When you land in the water you swim away from your parachute, if you don't the parachute can drown you. Then they come a pick you up. Our Captain told us that your rope never snaps, it's very rare if it dose.

While we were out on the boat another boat had a couple up in the air and their rope snaped. I had second thoughts, but Bailey was with me so I had to be brave for her sake. It was fun but our rope was seven hundred feet in the air. That is taller then the tallest ride at Lagoon, if you can image that. And free falling seven hundred feet into the water, I don't even want to think about it.

If you love thrills, parasailing is the way to go, if you are scared of hights, well, don't do it.

Falling Behind in my blog.

I know it's been four weeks since I blogged last. I have just been so busy. My parents were in St. George this week so I have been changing sprinklers since Wensday. On Thursday I moved them, it was a nightmare, I had them all put together and I turned them on and they didn't come on all the way, I checked down the line and saw that one pipe had come undone and the end cap had poped off.

After spending a good hour putting the pipe back together again, they were running. This morning I went out to change them and I had old faithful in my back feild. Come to find out one of the sprinklers had popped off. So frustrating. My dad came home and we are going to either have to buy a new sprinkler head or barrow one.

Just so you know, I'm very clumbsy. This just goes to show that I should not be trusted with anything breakable.

Hawaii!

So last month my mom decided that she was going to shop for a hawaii trip. She found one and she bought it. So I'm going to Hawaii. Best of all my mom bought my niece a ticket to go with us. We are going next month. I'm so excited.

Play is over :(

The play is over. I know you might think I'm crazy but I want to do it again. It's weird having so much free time. My family came to see it twice, my brother came and that's the first time he's ever come to see me in a preformance. I know he is really busy but if he reads this I hope he knows how much that ment to me. One thing I can say for my brother, even though he dose not come to things that I'm in, his wife and kids come and that means alot to me to. My nephews were so cute, when I came out on stage I could hear Cy in the audiance saying "Erica's a chicken"! I love that kid to peices.
I just want to thank my family for supporting me in this play, espically my aunts sherry and jolene. They sent me some junk food and balloons. I had alot of fun. Thanks.

Finall week before the play!

There is only one more week to go until the play starts. I would say that I'm excited but not really. We are not ready. There are still things that we need to fix and it's hard to get anything done when we are constantly telling kids that they need to stay still. There is one girl with red hair that is really annoying. She causes the most trouble.
Oh, well. I like my part a little more. I didn't think I would be on stage much but I'am. I'm not crazy about my lines but I can't do much about that. I will try and get excited. Tell me to break a Leg. I don't mean that in the literal sense of the word. That's actor lingo for good luck. It's bad luck to say Good luck to an actor or actress. So I hope I "Break a Leg" ;)

More Babies

Our family go good news yesterday, my older sister Nikki is going to have a baby! I thought she might be pregnant and not telling us yet. I was right, I'm so excited, that means that we are going to have thirteen grandchildren. I can't beleive it, it seems like yesterday that we had the first one. But with good news comes bad news. My sister-in-law Emily found out that she was pregnant but now she is miscarrying. I feel so bad for her. She always had trouble getting pregnant they were lucky to get the two kids that they have, but one thing about it is she knows that she can get pregnant.

I hope that she can get pregnant soon. Anyway, I will keep you posted on whats going on with the rest of the family later. Have a great week.

Explaning pictures

If anyone saw the pictures and were slightly confused about what they ment, I will explain. The first two are of my acctuall birthday, My mom, aunt, and I went to Applebees and my aunt told them it was my birthday! I could have died. Our waiter (who by the way was cute), decided that he was going to sing as loud as he could. When he found out how old and that I just got back for Vegas from seeing the Lion King, he told me that he wanted to take his GIRLFRIEND to it, there went my chance of having a guy friend. Oh well. The next are pictures my mom and aunt when we first got to Vegas, that was after we got stuck in the elevator. My aunt and I tried to convince my mom to get in the elevator but she would not get in. Thank goodness she didn't because we got stuck because we were never told that you had to slide in your room key then press your floor number. If you don't then the elevator stops and the lights go off to save energy. When we got stuck it was bad, it was even worse when the lights went off. My aunt and I both said at the sametime (pardon my french) Oh SHIT!
When we finally got out we found stairs and when we got up to our room, we laughed our heads off. The picture of me in front of an actor who plays the adult Simba, that was the night we went to the play, I bought a Lion King shirt and the hotel had a Lion King display, so I had my picture taken. My companions and I walked down to to the Beligo and we went in and they had their christmas decorations up, the reigndeer in the picture are make out of pecans. The last pictures are of me and my mom on the strip. There were a couple of guys in the picture. They told us that they didn't mean to, but by the look of the picture it's obvious that they did it to be funny. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Got in a Play

Before school ended right when I was doing finals. I auditioned for the community play. I got a call a week later and I got a part as a chicken. The play is called Honk. It's a musical about the ugly duckling. I was a little disapointed because I got the script and I have one line and I'm in one scean. Oh well. I will just have fun with it.
