New Craft!

I pulled out an old spool knitting kit that my grandma gave me a long time ago, and I started playing around. There were instructions to make a butterfly, but I wanted to make a flower. This was the first one that I made.

But it was a little big. And it still kind of looked like a butterfly to me. So I started again, this time making it smaller and adding a little extra so there would be 5 petals. Then I just made a really long black piece, and attached the flower to make one very cute headband!

I made Sydney a yellow and pink one for her birthday. I also made a purple flower, and then just put a bobby-pin on it. They're super easy, and I love them!

Sunflower Cupcakes!

We made these super cute cupcakes at young womens! They're totally easy, and if you're looking for something to do, you should try them! All you need is some Oreos, yellow and green frosting, and a cupcake! You can make them however you want!

Basketball team pictures!

Basketball season is over, and I'm so sad!!! All those girls are my best friends, and I'm going to miss playing with them! A few of us will be at the school again next year, but all of our 9th graders are of course going to high school, plus, a lot of the 8th graders are going out to Westlake! But it was a great experience, and I had the time of my life! My coaches were amazing, and even when they were mad, they were still hilarious and really nice! Here are some fun pictures that we took together....Here are our post players... (the mean ones!) We've had so many stories come from these guys! Annika (#10) bit Megan (#32) during one of our games on accident. Megan was given a black eye once, and poor Micala (#21) pulled a bunch of things in her knee and was out for most of the games at the end of the season. She goes in for surgery on the 18th, then still can't play or dance (she's in dance company) for 6 months! These are our guards. 2 main point guards, and some of our post players play guard too. Here are our AMAZING managers! Brittini and Karen! They are so cute, and we really, really, appreciate them! We have such a wierd mascot. :)Getting pumped up before a game.

This is Ms. Flake, our assistant coach, with Sam and I. Ms. Flake is the best!We had a great season, taking 2nd place in our Payson tournament, and 7th in our last tournament! It was tons of fun! GO WOLVERINES!

Fun new hairstyles!

Olga and I had a sleepover a while ago and she had a new hairstyle that she wanted to try in my hair. She watched a video of how to do it on You Tube, and thought it was really cute. The next morning she came with us to my cousin's baptism, and she did my hair for me. It turned out really cute!

Here's the back of it. It was kind of like two big twisty things. :) There was one on each side, then they came together into a cute messy-bun!

When we got home I did her hair too. I did two french braids on top, then one up the back. It was the first time I had done it, but it looked super cute!

Yum! Yum!

I really wanted some ice cream the other day, and my mom had just gone to the store and bought some bananas and strawberries. So, I decided to make one very yummy BaNAnA sPliT! One banana on the bottom, (broken in half) two scoops of vanilla ice cream, lots of cut up strawberries, some chocolate syrup and also carmel syrup, then top it off with a scoop of cool whip! I know your jealous....

It was pretty good too...

Braces are NO MORE!

WHoo Hoo!! I got my braces off last Monday and I am L.O.V.I.N.G. my beautiful pearly whites! he he he! Seriously, they look so good! I didn't tell any of my friends, so after basketball practice my mom picked me up to take me to my 8:00 appointment. When I got there I was so excited! The secretary lady said that it wouldn't hurt and it would go by really fast. Well........ it did hurt when he actually pulled the braces off, but after that it wasn't that bad. For those of you that have never had braces, when they take them off, your teeth are still caked with that gross glue. So they have to use this drill thing on all your teeth to get the glue off. Talk about one wierd feeling!

When I got to school and saw my friends they were totally shocked! It took them a minute to figure out why I was smiling non-stop like a complete moron..... but they finally noticed! I couldn't stop smiling all day long, and my teeth felt really slimy! Then I had to get my retainer on Wednesday. It's polka-dotted but still super annoying! My orthodontist says that I can only take it out when I'm brushing my teeth, so I have to eat with it in too! I'm beginning to get more used to it, but I still hate it! :)

I would have lots of pictures but I'm still camera-less! I don't know if I've mentioned it on here or not, but my camera broke and we had to take it back. We still haven't got a new one because whenever I find one that I like, the store doesn't have any in stock. It's very frustrating but hopefully I can get one soon because I'm really missing having one. Sydney has a few pictures on her camera so I just have to get her to email them to me, then I'll post them!

Free iPod shuffle!!

Well, because of my amazing 4.0 for first term, I got to go to Honor Roll on Friday, and miss 4th period!! I have algebra that period, so I was a little nervous that I would miss something important. (which I probably did, but oh well) Anyway, I am so glad that I went! I ended up winning a new iPod shuffle! The student counsil did a raffle with four iPods, some iTunes gift cards, and lots of chocolate. It was the very last drawing that they were doing, and while everyone was doing a drumroll, I said, "BRIANNA BEAN!" and then right after that, the girl said, "BRIANNA BEAN!!" My friends and I were screaming so loud! It was so awesome! The iPod is so cool, and Jennifer is already after my mp3. This is what it looks like.... It may only be a 2GB, but my mp3 was only 1GB so I'm upgrading! And it was FOR FREE!
