Maiden Moriah

The dress is soooo flowy!
The water is so blue in this pic!
Well, I said I'd post pics of me in my dress that my amazing Mom made! There are a lots of 'em!!! This pic was taken right after I was spinning.
While I was spinning.
Smile for the camera! I love my dress!
Running......
Actually, I was getting ready to jump right at my brother in this pic! :)

I like these!
Look to the sky!
I love the mischievous look on my face! Priceless!!!
Spinning...
About to spin.....

Now I'm a wood elf..... yippie!
Hello!
You don't see me! No, you don't!!!!
I was hoping my Mom wouldn't see me so that I could jump out and scare her, but that didn't work out! Love ya Mom!
I really like this one.


Well, that's all the wood elf pics, back to the maiden one's.

My Mom wanted me to do some peaka boo pics so that's what this pic and the pic above are.

This one looks medieval to me!
So does this one.
And this one, except for the houses in the background.
This one was actually rather interesting. The medal globe thing that I'm in was really dirty so it was difficult to keep my dress some what away from it. My Mom suggested that I stand in the back and pretend I was shooting a bow, as Susan Pevensie. That's a big arrow.
The blasted sun was right in my eyes!
Walking.....
Posing.....
This was on accident. I was supposed to have my eyes open. Oh well, I like how it turned out!
I actually started getting wet from the over spray of the fountain. Oh, what we'll do for good pictures! Sorry about the freeway in the background. Just imagine it's not there.
I look so sad! :(
The grass was a bit wet that afternoon!
I'm trying not to laugh at my Mom in this pic.
Zac and Mom said something about me in this one, I forgot what, though.
Looking at Mom....
Laughing at Mom.....
Aw......
Sitting around....

Nature, Concrete, Girl in medieval dress...
My photographer brother, Zac, took most of these pics, including this one, and he almost fell off the narrow thing he was standing on.
Hi!!!!
We..eee......
Serious.... Zac kept telling me to look serious and Mom kept telling me to look happy. *SCREAMING*
Many thanks to my Mom for making this gorgeous dress, Zac for taking the pics, and the many bystanders who stared at a weird girl walking on the sidewalk, in a medieval dress, in the 21st century, good times, good times!!!!

What's Been Going On

I haven't posted in a while so I'm going to tell you what's been going on lately!
Where do I begin?!!
~Most of my time is spent on school, and outside activities. School has been going really well, and we added Spanish! *yeah* We have had this Rosetta Stone Spanish program for three years and we finally started it! *Cheers* Choir is going really well too! We have our Ministry Day next Friday. We are going to go to two places and sing. (Go figure) I really like the semi-formal I get to wear! I'm so excited to see Zac, my brother, in a tuxedo, but he won't be wearing the jacket!
~When I'm not doing school you can find me in my room reading, or at the piano. The last time I posted about books I told you that I was starting The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, well I've finished that and four other books! I've started/finished Sir Kendrick, Sir Bentley, Jim Elliot, and Do Hard Things. I am now reading Sir Dalton, Before You Meet Prince Charming, A Young Woman's Walk with God, and Gladys Aylward. I have also really excelled with the piano this year! I'm starting to take on harder songs instead of the easier one's.
~We, my Mom, brother, and I, went to the Narnia Exhibition in Sugarland this Wednesday! It was really cool! The wow factor was when you step into Narnia! :) We were able to see some of the actual costumes and props they used, which was also a wow factor. We bought some Turkish Delight at the end of the exhibit and it was disgusting! I think that in the movie they used Jello covered in powdered sugar! After the exhibit Zac, my wonderful photographer brother, took pics of me in my medieval dress! I'll try to get those posted ASAP.

Reformation Day

Let me explain this one! After the play we went outside, and saw the field!!! We thought it would be awesome to link arms and skip down the field, so that's what we did. It was very interesting..... thank God nobody got hurt! Although we almost had a couple of falls, none of us actually fell, I don't think! :)

Just encase you don't know what I mean by play, let me explain. Our church celebrates Reformation Sunday. Caleb, who you will soon see, and his Dad decided to write a play for us to do. So.... we ended up doing a play on Reformation Sunday with awesome dresses... including the guys. *Laughing*
This is my brother, Zac, and me in our costumes! My brother's name for the play was Viret, and mine was Elegant Young Lady. My Mom worked soooo hard on this dress and it is absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much Mom!
I love this picture!
This is Wilson, Jean Tandy in the play! He was a Roman Catholic.
This is Josh, John Calvin in the play! I think we all know who he was!
This is Caleb (I mentioned him earlier), Farel in the play! Someone who supported Calvin.
This is me, the Elegant Young Lady in the play. Actually, one of our friends said that I could be in a Narnia movie because of my dress! It made me so happy!!!!!!
This is a group picture of the cast and more!

Reformation day was really fun! I really enjoyed wearing the dress that my wonderful Mom made! I will try to get some better pics of it up soon!

Can You Believe It

Wow, when I first heard/saw this I was completely shocked! Who plays Gimli? John Rhys-Davies does! Who is John Rhys-Davies? Well, if you've ever seen Princess Diaries 2 or One Night with the King you've seen him! He is the uncle of Lord Nicholas in Princess Diaries 2, and Mordecai in One Night with the King, but he is also Gimli in The Lord of the Rings!



There's Gimli and there's John Rhys-Davies! It's amazing what make-up, fake hair, and a little editing can do to a person!
