  • I was Born!

    I was Born!
    At 5:48 pm on December 6, 2002 I was born at Trinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota. My dads cousin was actually having a baby the same day that I was born, and the whole day the joke was that they were in a race to see who would have their baby first! So my second cousin and I were both born on December 6th, 2002, but she was born a few hours before me.
  • Dilly Bar Day

    Dilly Bar Day
    In Minot, my mom and aunt owned the Dairy Queen in the Dakota Square Mall. My cousin Ana and I always loved helping them whenever we could. This photo is of me helping them pass out Dilly Bars to residents at a nursing home. Ana and I loved talking to all the people and asking them lots of questions!
  • My 5th Birthday Party

    My 5th Birthday Party
    To date this is my most eventful birthday party! We had it at a hotel waterpark and about halfway through my party the water in the pool started overflowing and eventually flooded the entire swimming area! Despite this I had a fairy-themed party with cake, cupcakes, and pizza!
  • First Day of Kindergarten

    First Day of Kindergarten
    My first day of kindergarten at Edison Elementary School in Minot, ND. After attending 2 years of preschool at ING, I was not scared at all to jump right in to real school! My mom said I was very excited because I got a bunch of new school supplies and put them all in my desk at school a few days before school started.
  • Getting Norman!

    Getting Norman!
    We got Norman from a friend of ours whose dog had 2 puppies. Norman was so so so tiny when we first got him! Potty training Norman was quite the challenge seeing as it was the dead of winter! Needless to say I will never get a dog in the middle of winter again!
  • Meeting Josh Duhamel!

    Meeting Josh Duhamel!
    There was a Black Eyed Peas concert in Minot to raise money for people affected by the 2011 flood. Josh is originally from Minot, and him, my mom, and dad were actually close friends in high school, my dad even shared a locker with him their junior and senior year. So when we heard that Josh and his wife at the time, Fergie, were coming to Minot my dad got in touch with him and we got to go backstage and I met Fergie too!
  • Won National Grand Champion for dance

    Won National Grand Champion for dance
    My team and I at Studio X won National Grand Champion in Wisconsin Dells at Celebration Talent Competition National Finals. Our winning routine was called "Below My Feet" with a total of 17 of us in it, choreographed by Joshua Wise.
  • Getting Birkley!

    Getting Birkley!
    One day my mom and I were at West Acres Mall in Fargo, we had no intentions of getting a dog, not even a little bit. We wandered in to the pet store as we usually do to see all the cute puppies and when we saw Birkley we couldn't resist! We brought him home and he's been living the dream ever since! He even had his own photoshoot!
  • My 16th Birthday Party

    My 16th Birthday Party
    My 16th birthday party was held at Elevation, a restaurant in Minot. Even though my birthday is December 6th, we weren't able to get everyone together until the 27th. I had all my close friends and family their. My aunt put the whole thing together and planned everything, it was so fun!
  • Starting my Bird Project

    Starting my Bird Project
    I have officially started my Bird Project for Mr. Toppen's Biology class! It is hard to find birds and take pictures of them without them flying away! I am very grateful that I get to use my moms nice Nikon camera, so I have gotten quite a few good pictures! So far I have gotten pictures of 12 different bird species. Happy Birding!
