"Brad's Not Afraid of the Dirty Work"

Our dear and my favorite uncle, (don't tell anyone else that!) Brad King, is running for the Utah State Senate, and because he is doing this, he is gathering his forces, namely his family in Price, and having them be in parades for him. I have been in two of them so far, and I love it! Uncle Brad, in both parades so far, has been placed right behind the horses. So his lucky job gets to be the pooper scooper! However, he has made a clever slogan to go along with it. "Brad Is Not Afraid of the Dirty Work"!
In both of these parades I had the "privelage" of handing out candy. It is actually really kind of scary. Here you are, being nice and throwing out candy, and here these little short kids run up to you screaming "GIVE ME CANDY!! GIVE ME CANDY!! CANDY!!!". It has made me pretty much terrified of little kids; at least ones during a parade. But I would rather hand out candy and deal with the little people than pass out flags to all of the old people. That was the other job option and I had no desire to talk to old people and answer all of their questions about Brad King. They are far worse than the screaming kids. Lucky for Mom, that was her awesome job, and she did incredible at it, although a few times, she did fall behind. But who could blame her when she has 20 questions coming from everyone?

DISCO

Well here are pictures from the Homecoming dance last night. Many of you know I went already, because Mom tells everybody everything about my life. So here they are. My date was Dayton Martindale and I had a blast with him! The theme for the dance was throughout the ages, as this year is Carbon's 50th year. So anybody could go and dress up in any of the last 5 decades. We chose to dress up in DISCO style. It was amazing. Plus, if we dressed up in full costume, we got a $1 discount. Woo! But anyways, here are our pictures from last night.

In this picture, our faces look kind of odd, and that is because we were trying so hard not to bust up laughing. We were not succeeding very well.

PS- The white thing around my neck is my ID badge that we have to wear at school now. It is totally lame. They made us even bring it to the dance, otherwise we would not be able to get into the dance. LAME!

"My Little Buttercup"

Here it is! My homecoming video talent performance! I must say though, it is not near as good as the one we did at the actual assembly, but it is still good and hilarious. Unfortunately, we had very limited space so we are crunched together, and you cannot hear our tap shoes. Sigh.. but overall, you still get the same effect. For homecoming queen, by the way, I did not win anything, but I also did not really care, but I still felt especially honored that my peers see me that high up there. So thanks to them! Love you all!

(I apologize for the sound effects. My camera does not work the best and it has problems recording things. I did not want to use the one on the video camera, because that would require extra time and effort to convert it to a digital setting thing. At least, that is what Dad says... ;D)

Homecoming

As many of you know, I was nominated for Homecoming Queen. Well here are the pictures of the assembly where I had to "gracefully" walk across stage (I wasn't so successful in that part), answer a question, and perform a talent. My talent was tap dancing to the song 'My Little Buttercup' from the Three Amigos. It wasn't really tap dancing though, mostly just making a bunch of noise with the shoes. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties witht the video camera, so I don't have the actual dance...yet. The camera recorded everything else but the dance, but my friends and I are going to re-dance the dance. As soon as that is done, I will post it here, but until then please enjoy the few pictures we have of it.
