Formal 2011.

Helllllo! I had such a good time last night. So here's the story. We have this 'thing' called a formal in 9th and 10th grade. Basically, it's a chance for everyone to dress up all pretty and feel really cool. It's pretty much a mini-prom. It was a lot of fun! Here are the people I went with:
-Madison Thomas
-Drew Kaiser
-Nic Sanchez
-Hailey Miller
-Taylor Kusler
-Kennedy Hoop
&
-Kailey Collier

First, we went to Madison's grandma's house to take pictures because she had a really pretty staircase. We also came across a really good gazebo to take pictures at. Here, take a look!

TADA! Then, after that we went to Bonefish Grill! SO good. Here's the whole group!

And.. Freeze!

A couple of weeks ago my friend Madison told me about this flash mob in Paris, France. We looked it up on youtube to see what it was and it was sooo cool!! Here, take a peak.

Coool right?! Well, as you know I love Paris with a firing passion within my soul. I will go there eventually, no doubt in my mind. I've already looked at flight tickets and everything. I mean, there's the Eiffel Tower.. right there!! So beyond my comprehension of amazingness. (That's not a word.. but oh well..) I've wondered how all of that happened. They had to have called a group of people together and perfectly planned out everything. They had to think of who starts it, where you need to be when it starts, all the poses they were making, and how long to freeze. It just blows my mind. I've officially decided that I want to be involved in one of those. I mean how AWESOME would it be to do that?! And in Paris! GAH. There's lots of these; if you go to youtube and type in 'Flash Mob' all kinds of cool stuff will pop up. Anyways, I felt the urge to share it with all of you. (*ahem, my mom and grandma. I'm such a loser.)

Anyways, have a grrrreat day!
I'm gonna go to Paris.

Just Trust Me!

Everything.

Well there's not a specific topic for this post. We're going to cover several subjects today.
-My formal dress.
-My brother's dog is over!
-New baby Tyson!

Let's Begin.

Formal Dress.
Formal is approaching, and approaching fast. It's on February 26th, and it should be pretty fun. I don't have a date.. (go figure) and I'm just going with friends. I'll have a good time! Anyways, I wanted to put my dress on here because somebody (*cough cough, HAILEY..) didn't have picture messaging and wanted to see it. (:

TADAH.

Here's the top.

And.. the bottom.

Tres Bien.

Killer is over!

Gosh, gotta love this kid.

Now. New Baby!
My cousin Jenna, and my cousin in law, Greg had a new baby! He's perfect in every way!! They already had a 2 year old son, Caleb who is absolutely a DOLL. He was born during all that snow on February 8th, 2011. You have to see!
