We ran through the whole play starting on Thursday. It was really fun to see what the rest of the cast had to do. That's what we did for the rest of the week. On Friday we went to the high school where we would perform on Saturday. On Saturday we had to be at the high school by 10:45. We didn't get to go home until 9:00. I was really nervous on Saturday. But after the dress rehersal I wasn't nervous. My nerves came back for the Wonderland Ballet, but by the time I had to do my first entrance I didn't feel too nervous. After the first performance I went out to dinner with my parents. Then I had to come back for the sencond performance. Afterwards I just went home. Well, today (Sunday) was the 4-H sign up fair. I signed up for 17 projects. But I probably won't exibit 17 projects at the fair. That's all the news for now.  |

Yesterday I worked on the Lobster Quadrille. The little kids (Lobsters) are so cute. I had a lot of fun rehearsing that scene. In the second shift the whole cast came and we practiced the songs and the Wonderland Ballet. The Wonderland Ballet really isn't a ballet, it's when all the characters come out at the beginning of the play when Alice first discovers she's in Wonderland. That's all I can write right now. |

Yesterday I rehearsed from 4:00 to 9:00. I worked on the scene with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, the scene with Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. I also worked with the Flowers and the Caterpillar. Rachel enjoys being a flower, even though the Flowers have to sing a really annoying song. I'm trying to memorise all my lines. I have to be off-book by tommorow. |

Well, I did get a part. Teddy and Meghan got parts too. Teddy is a card, the 2 of hearts I think, and Meghan is Tweedle-Dee. I got one of the Alices. I'm the Tall Alice, and I have eighty lines to say. I was afraid to get Alice because I don't like singing in front of people. But I actually only have a couple of lines alone in the songs.Well, I'm just really glad that most of my friends got a part. They did have to make cuts, because there were only 60 parts and 104 kids. I feel really bad for everyone who didn't get a part. After the auditions I had to stay and practice to 9:00. I looked at my schedule and I am going to be practicing every day from 4:00 to 9:00. On Saturday there's a dress rehersal and two performances. It's really nice that I'm the Alice who meets the flowers and Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. My friend Rachel is the head flower, a Rose, and as I already said, Meghan is Tweedle Dee. Over all, I'm really happy. |

Right now I am waiting for my mom to ask me to make lunch. I can't wait till we go to the auditions. I'm not so nervous as I was last year because I know what they'll want me to do. It was really fun doing the play last year. I hope they don't have to make cuts. Last year in the Little Mermaid they almost had to make cuts. This year Meghan, Teddy and me are doing it. Last year Meghan was a seahorse, Teddy was asisstent director, and I was a sea scout. Oh, Hunter is doing fine. I forgot to say that he was lethargic and not really eating, but he's doing better now. School started a little more than a month ago, but we've been on break since Mom can't really teach us when she needs to rest. I'm not in AWANA anymore, since I'm in 7th grade now. I like CROSS this year. PE is fun, but I think I might like art better. My class is working on animals in art, and I think it is really fun. Well, I can't think about anything more to write, but I'll post updates. I'll try to write later today, once I know what part I'm getting. |

God has blessed my family a lot in the past month. The biggest blessing is my new baby brother Hunter Louis Stumpf. Here are some pictures of him.
Everyone came to visit at the hospital
Brigitta loves her baby brother
Meghan loves holding him
Jakie's not the youngest boy anymore!
My family has also been blessed with a barn! We can finally get horses, motocycles, and rabbits. I don't have very many good pictures of the barn, but here's what I have. |

A lot has been happening lately. Baby number 8 was born on September 23 at 8:41. His name is Hunter Louis Stumpf. Also Jacob (5) and Caleb (7) had their birthdays. We've been skating and we started school, AWANA, and CROSS. Monday are the auditions for Alice in Wonderland. Last year I was in The Little Mermaid. I'm really excited. I hope that all my friends get parts. A part for me would be nice too :). I want to go play games with my parents now, so I'll say bye for now. |

Alright, I haven't posted in a while, so here is the latest news. In 4-H, Teddy got red on his Shooting Sports target and blue on his Photography poster. I got white on Shooting Sports, blue on Scrapbooking, and blue and honor group on Horsemen Without Horses. My favorite part of the fair week was either watching Horse and Pony events or watching the IJRA Finals. I'm excited that I might be able to go and watch the state finals in August. Right now the big event in my family is the trip to Holiday World on Thursday (which is also Teddy's 11th birthday). Well, nothing else is really going on, except the barn for our horses is going to be built in mid-August!!! That is so exciting! Well, I better stop before you get a headache. Bye for now. |

Hi everyone, just a quick update before dinner. Horse camp was a blast, and so was swim lessons (I'll post more about those later), but right now our focus has been the 4-H Fair this Friday. I had my last project check-in last Friday, and Teddy's Photography judging was today. He got a blue ribbon, but he might get Honor Group. I need to go now. |
