Emma!

Recently, my other "little sister" Emma visited from New Mexico!  We had a fabulous time these past two weeks as we occupied ourselves with lots of summery activities. 



We went to see "The Secret Life of Pets" at the drive-in movie!

It is a cute simple family movie that I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to go see a movie with their younger siblings.  Please bear in mind, however, that it was rather intense for Willa so she sat in my lap for almost the whole movie and covered her eyes frequently.

Located in Green Bay is a cute quaint little amusement park. Every time I go I feel like I'm stepping back into the 1950s!  Willa is just exactly 48" tall, so she was able to ride all the "big rides" with us!



She had a blast!  I was kind of worried that she would cry on the roller coaster, but as soon as we got done, she said, "That was amazing!"  She also lost her tooth!  I think that missing front teeth is pretty much one of the cutest stages in all of childhood.  


Since the amusement park is pretty close to the beach, there are a lot of seagulls.  Pip caught a baby!



Possibly the most exciting part of our trip was visiting Heritage Hill (a living history museum in Green Bay) and seeing Allison Arngrim!  We are all avid Little House on the Prairie fans, so we were thrilled to see the actress that played Nellie Olson!



Willa even dressed up for the occasion.  


We were all sad to see Emma go, but we know we will see her again!

Love,
Lolly

What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, ...

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image
Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Image
Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope....
