Lizzy!

Happy Belated 9th Birthday to Elizabeth Terry!!!!! It's late because I'm a horrible sister and since yesterday was Saturday I was completely consumed by work and didn't look/think about the date once. :( Sorry, Bibby! I hope you had a good day!!

Listen to Meagan's Christmas Concert!!!!!!!!!

So, I don't know if anyone who doesn't already know this will read it on time, but tonight the BYU Choir's Celebration of Christmas will be broadcast live on KBYU, which means you can listen to it online at kbyu.com! It starts at 7:30 mst, which makes it 8:30 for the Aase fam, and 9:30 for everyone else. The concert last night was excellent. I promise you'll love it. Also, it will be rebroadcast on kbyu on Sunday December 21 at 5pm MST. They are also taping it for byutv, but it won't be on until next Christmas since they have to edit it to make it look perfect. I hope you all are having a fabulous December! I'll be home in 12 days and counting!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It sounded like you did a lot of fun stuff this year. Don't forget to write all about it and put up some pictures!! Meagan and I are in Henderson, NV staying with Mom's family and it's been a lot of fun. Yesterday we met Sarah at a mall in Las Vegas and had lunch. (I brought my camera, but I don't think it was used at all.)

Have a wonderful weekend! Meagan and I will be home in 20 days and counting! I love you!

If You're Reading...

Greetings from Provo, Knudson Family!

I don't know if anyone ever reads this blog besides Meagan and Kristi and me, but I decided to let the family know what is going on in my life right now anyway.

I don't have a whole lot going on, just school. Homecoming is this week and it's neat to see the Y all lit up. I'm not going to any of the dances, and I wish I were going to the Spectacular, but I'll settle for the football game. GO COUGARS! Like Sister Samuelson says, this is a great season to be a fan of BYU Football.

In school, I just finished my 4th midterm of the past 2 weeks marking the end of the first period of extended stress. I do have another midterm next week...and one in volleyball as well...so maybe I should be a little more worried than I am. I like my classes and I'm learning a lot this semester. One thing that helps is that my geology and geography of landforms classes cover a lot of the same material, so I kind of learn it twice and that helps my grade in both classes. Volleyball is fun, and we might actually start playing in teams soon instead of doing drills to practice specific drills. Yesterday was the worst! The skill was blocking--probably the thing I'm worst at, and the drills are horrible. In the gym, there are three full volleyball courts side by side. For the drill, we learned the two-step block and had to do it all the way down the line of all three nets. Step, step, jump, step, step, jump...all the way down 3 nets. Then we learned a three-step block. We did that all the way down the nets: step, stepstep, jump, step, stepstep, jump. Then, we learned another three-step block. Same thing, all the way down: step, step, turn, step, jump. Finally, we had to go all the way down the net in combination! step, step, jump, step, stepstep, jump, step, step, turn, step, jump! I seriously wanted to run out of the gym screaming. Blocking is my worst skill because jumping is my worst ability. My teacher did say that if any girl gets a block, she gets an A. For me, it's out of the question as the nets we use are even higher than MEN's standard height. So, that was my 15 minutes of torture yesterday. I came out smiling though. Something I've been working on in volleyball is not getting embarrassed when I can't do something. I'm getting better, too.

My one activity outside of school is tutoring at a local elementary school. This semester, I'm working with an after school program to put on their school musical: ALADDIN! 2 weeks ago I helped some 6-year-old untie his shoes after he tied them together. This week, I learned a Halloween dance. It was a lot of fun, and I really like the group I'm working with. Some of the kids are a little crazy, but those are the ones who need someone to work with them the most.

That's pretty much all that's going on in my life. I have 2 new roommates and one that's the same from last year. All are sophomores and for the first time in my life, I'm the oldest! It's a weird feeling, but we get along great! In weather news: The snow has arrived, in the mountains anyway. All that rain that came just for Conference weekend translated to snow in the highest places.

Goodbye for now, family. I hope that you all enjoyed Conference. I know I did! Have a wonderful day, and KEEP BLOGGING!

RISE AND SHOUT!!!!!!!!!

GOooooo Cougars!!!!!!!!!!! We're on a role this year with and undefeated record, recently concreted by TWO shutouts in a row! And I get great seats at every home game to boot! I'm in the North nzone, row 9 with my friend Sadie, who is in the picture with me below.


I tried hard to get you a video of the fight song in the sold out stadium, but I sadly found out that the video on my camera has no sound. The fight song is no fun without sound, so we'll just have to be happy with pictures. Next home game: October 11!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Sarah! Teenager no more! That was a long 10 years. ;)

The word is no

So, I didn't make it. See my blog for details

Callbacks for singers

So, about halfway through Nebraska I got this call from my friend Camille, telling me I am on the callback list for BYU Singers!!!!! Even though she told me, I still had to look at the list about 10 times before I believed it. I went to see Dr. Staheli on Thursday, and sang for him again. I think that went pretty well, as did my audition for Concert Choir the next day (just in case). The list that's going up today includes all those who were on the first list (we tried out during the spring and summer) as well as those who are returning to singers and those Dr. Staheli wants to hear again after this past weekend of auditions. I may go look at that list just to see how many are on it, but most likely I'll just wait until 12:30 when we are all together for the beginning of callbacks. It's really hard on my nerves to walk down that hallway, so I might save myself at least one trip. Oh, nevermind. I have to look at the list today to see if Dr. Staheli changed his mind about my singing soprano or alto. Today I'll have callbacks with the other girls in my section, and tomorrow morning I'll have to walk down that dreaded hallway again to see the final list. My friend Becca Whale and I practiced together yesterday, and we're hoping to walk down the hallway together for moral support. Going by yourself is the worst. Pray for me today! I'll let you know tomorrow how it all turns out.

First Day of School!

Well there's no avoiding it now. Classes start tomorrow. On the bright side, I only have one class on Tuesday and Thursday, and it's at 8 am. So tomorrow should be too bad.

In other news: Meagan and I made it safely to Provo once again. It was a long trip and we started crying when we passed the sign for Minneapolis (just kidding), but we made it. Also, Meagan found out that she made call backs for the Singers. She'll have to explain that though because we weren't sure exactly what happened next. All I know is that she'll be stalking the HFAC tomorrow waiting for the list to go up...I'm just not sure what the list is for. Needless to say, she's really excited. Especially since the Singers are going to Ireland this summer.

More news: BYU won their football game on Saturday against Northern Iowa. GO COUGARS! And there is another game this Saturday. We're definitely looking forward to that out here.

That's it for now. KEEP BLOGGING!!!!

No More Pre-K!!

Alright, I have successfully completed 2 weeks of camp with Pre-K and Kindergarten kids. It was a lot of fun, and the kids were so cute, but I'm ready to move on. I'll miss those kids, but I'll see them around. I love those kids, but teaching them was a big challenge. I definitely work better in a teaching capacity with the older kids...or at least I think I do. Actually, I haven't worked with any older kids. It might turn out that I'm better with the little ones. My teacher filled out an evaluation for me, and it was all good. I doubt people ever give poor evaluations...unless someone is really bad. Well, it's all over now. I get to move up one grade level at a time. My schedule has changed a little since I posted it last month:

Week 3 (June 20- July 4): Wild at Heart with 1st-2nd grade
Week 4: Sleuths with 3rd-4th
Week 5: Aquatic Odyssey with 3rd-4th
Week 6: Advanced Bay Quest with 8th-10th
Week 7: Nature and the Arts with 1st and 2nd
Week 8: Water Works with 1st and 2nd
Week 9: Storm Chasers 5th-7th

Yup, I get the full range and get to work my way up. It will be interesting to see how each group changes. Only a few things have changed and the camps that I really wanted to do, I still get to do. So, all is well.

I'm pretty much exhausted after two weeks of Pre-K. Everyone is congratulating me on surviving, so I guess this is normal. The most important lesson from the past two weeks is probably flexibility in lesson plans. The dynamic of our AM and PM classes were completely different from each other and Ali and I really had to figure out what to change to make it a good experience for the PM campers, and for us too. We decided on more unstructured time, and working in groups. For me it meant doing a lot of stuff without Ali. I lead my group of 8 on hikes, crafts, games, etc. It seemed like a lot to me, but it worked, so I stuck with it and really enjoyed it.

So, goodbye Pre-K! You taught me a lot and looking back, I promise not to remember all the bad times and just remember the cute ones...there were plenty of both.

There! Aren't they cute?? They were convinced that I couldn't see them when they hid there.

I'm home!

Well, I'm back from the Holy Land and wishing it wasn't quite over yet. My new adventure is finding someone to hire me for 60 days until I go back to school for my very last year. Hopefully I'll be able to see most of you while I'm here! I'm working on putting the best of my pictures into a working slide show so that I can give a presentation on my trip that should be worth seeing.

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was Dad's birthday!

Mom and I took him to lunch. Zac's present was his music. Last night was the night of his band concert so he decided that his present to Dad would be his concert. We all went with Sister Pelech from our ward. Afterwards we came home for some good old Oatmeal cake and ice cream. It was really good.

Mom told me to put up the pictures and a video from last night, but her pictures aren't cooperating with the computer. Probably because there are so many of them. I know that you're all disappointed, but I'll see what I can do.

Happy birthday, Dad! We love you!!!!

The Final Final!

Just one more final left. Then I get to spend a day packing and cleaning and hanging out with various people. I'm not too worried about this final, but maybe I should be. The class is fairly easy, but somehow Dr. James manages to put hard questions on the test. It's all about the weather and climate types, soil types, and what kinds of things can grow in each one. I have to know names of different winds and ocean currents including where they are. Completely comprehensive, but also completely multiple choice. I think I'll do alright since I don't have to be pulling names out of my head. I just have to recognize the names. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to handle that.

After finals I get to make the trek across the country...again. This will be my fourth time driving the distance from Utah to Maryland in two years. It's fun, for sure, but it's also very tiring. I'll be getting home about the same time as my friend Jessi and she won't be finished with school for another week. I guess it's a small sacrifice to pay for going to BYU instead of some Maryland school. Definitely worth it.

Meagan's Blog!

Just so you know...the mysterious letters on the right...that goes to Meagan's Blog, and the rest of the blog is in English. It's so that we can follow her adventures in Jerusalem and have a vicarious adventure of our own.

Our Day in Salt Lake

My roommate Catherine and I both got two tickets to the Saturday Afternoon Session of General Conference, so we decided to spend the day in Salt Lake. We left early in the morning so that we could sit in the Tabernacle for the morning session. Meagan came with us since she was singing in the choir (I hope everyone saw her! They showed her during The Morning Breaks and other times).

After the morning session, my roommates and I walked up to our car and ate our lunch.It was kind of cold outside, so we decided to put the seats down in the Jeep and sit in the back while we ate. It reminded me of a covered wagon with the widow up.

After lunch we went back down to the Conference Center. We were so excited (especially Laura). I was sad because where we sat I wouldn't be able to spot Meagan, and since I'm wearing my older glasses I probably wouldn't have been able to see her anyway, but it was alright because she was on the screen a few times.

We met up with everyone outside the Conference Center and took a few pictures with roommates and Meagan. Then Meagan left and we went to take more pictures!In October, Laura and I did a service project where we went and planted flowers on Temple Square. It was cold, wet, and REALLY windy, but fun. Well, part of the reason we wanted to go to Salt Lake was to see all the flowers! And so we did! They're beautiful. I'm still surprised they let volunteers go and do stuff like that. Maybe they go around at night and undo everything we did and then do it right. Either way, Temple Square looks amazing and it makes us happy that we got to have something to do with it. The weather was worth it! I was sad that the tulips haven't bloomed yet, but maybe we'll go back after finals and see them. Enjoy the slideshow!

Good News!

I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is all.

Family Night!!!

Monday nights have become one of my favorite parts of the week. First of all, Monday is over. What else could you ask for? Second, FHE is always an experience. Since I know you all love hearing about my crazy Family Night experiences, I figure I'll blog it out and tell one or two other amusing stories while I'm at it.

On St. Patricks Day we just played games. This happens quite often in my family. We're a pretty casual group and usually planning is not our strong point. So, we played a name game where everyone writes their name, puts the paper in a hat, and then picks another name. Whatever name you pick is the name you go by for the game. Then, you sit in a circle and try to get 4 team members in 4 specific seats (our goal was the couch). There is one empty seat in the circle and whoever is the the left of the spot calls a name and whoever they call has to get up and go to that seat and that continues until you get your team members in their desired seats. After that, we played Mafia. It was fun. After that, we ate shamrock cookies with green frosting.

Last week we went to our Bishop's house with another group where we ate dinner and then talked and played games. For that party we played "Do You Love Your Neighbor?". It's kind of a knock off of fruit basket upset. I ran into Kenny and still have a huge bruise on my knee from that collision.

Today we are going to be playing "outside games" as Kenny put it, with another family. It will be interesting. It's really cold outside and it snowed yesterday, so we'll see how long we last running around outside.

For today's funny story, I'm giving you a taste of how easily amused college students really are (photographs included):

Once upon a Sunday afternoon, my roommate Anne and I decided to give our other roommate some peace while she did her Visit Teaching and Anne suggested that we go outside and blow bubbles until we get cold. I like bubbles, so I agreed!

(Anne)

Well, we went out and started blowing bubbles and we noticed that they were really cool colors, especially when you look at them against the snow or the trees.

We also noticed that they tended to float upwards, and we thought that was cool. Well, apparently the people on the third floor thought it was cool too. They came outside and started trying to pop our bubbles. Then more and more people came out, all because they saw our bubbles. Eventually we had a good 20 people outside. Probably 5 people had bubbles and we basically had an impromptu bubble party! Yup, that's right. About 20 people, out, in the cold, to blow/pop bubbles.

And there we all are. No one from my floor joined in. But that's ok. We like the third floor, even though they're in the other ward. So, that's the story of how a bunch of college students ended up having a bubble party. THE END! (More evidence of our simplemindedness to come at a later date. For now, just enjoy some more pictures...further evidence that we are much too fascinated with bubbles for our own good.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Grandma's birthday was on Monday, and Zac's birthday is today! Happy Birthday guys! I hope you had an amazing day! Love you!

Easter Pictures

Will Somebody PLEASE tell Mother Nature that it is not nice to have an Early Easter and then plan Snow in MN.....It really makes for funny pictures with the white back drop....

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Family!
I hope you all had a wonderful day. Lets see some Easter pictures! I might even put some up tonight after I take a few. I'm singing in church with some friends in my ward today, then Rebecca and I are making cresant sandwiches, oatmeal rolls, macaroni salad, and whatever else we can think of for our college Easter feast. Last night i colored eggs with some boys in my ward, and they were really pretty (the eggs, not the boys) but sadly I had only boiled them about half as long as I needed to, so I couldn't eat them. There was also a ward talent show last night, and my room mate and I did a hand puppet musical to some japanese tango. I had planned on singing, but I have been too involved in my research paper this week to prepare anything. Good thing I'll have my chance to sing in church today :)
I love you!

Meagan

...and a Steamy 55 Degrees!

Hey, Family! I figured I had a few minutes to spare to give a short update on my life. I'm still chilling down here in Provo, but there are only 6 weeks left of classes (not that we're counting or anything), and then finals and I get to go home! Going home will involve my fourth drive across the country in two years, but it'll be worth it. I'm anticipating a good summer and I even think I know where I'll be working. I'm in the process of getting an internship with the Audubon Naturalist Society being an assistant teacher at their summer camps. It's basically a bunch of nature camps in Chevy Chase, MD. I'm pretty sure that I'll get the internship and I have a phone interview set up for next Wednesday! *fingers crossed*

Tonight Meagan and I are going to "An Evening of Concertos". Our friends Ashley and Nicole won a concerto competition earlier this year so they get to play their concerto in the concert! It'll be really fun.

Spring is in the air and everyone is loving it. It'll probably snow this weekend, but we'll take what we can get. Last night for F.H.E. we made paper airplanes out of giant sketch paper and raced them. Mine WON! It was really fun. Then we went on campus trying to find a higher place to throw them from. We settled on the R.B. stairs and my team still won. Then, we played a version of Ultimate Frisbee, except with the paper airplane. Good times.

Well, I have to run and give Meagan her ticket before I go to my classes. I love you guys! Keep blogging!

wow! who set up the new layout? Thats really cool.

The exciting life of Meagan

I've been waiting to hear for sure about this so that I would have something good to write, so here is it!
I'm singing in the Saturday Afternoon session of General Conference! I've known for a while that the BYU choirs were singing then, but since there are so many of us, women's and men's chorus had to make some cuts. Monday night I found out that I made the list, and I'm so excited! We figured that they would make the list by seniority, but it turns out that wasn't the case. I don't really know how they picked us, but apparently I have what it takes :)
Also in the news is my countdown to Jerusalem... we're down to 55 days! Last weekend I got my schedule in the mail, so I know every day until the end of this semester exactly where I will be in 2 months. Its very exciting.
This weekend I'm flying home for my friend Nicole's wedding. She's having an orthodox jewish ceremony, and she asked me to be a bridesmaid. So, I get some kind of a spring break to speak of. More than the rest of BYU anyway. I'm excited to be home for a couple days.
That's all for now. I'll let you know next time something exciting happens. Love you!

Sarah Joins family blog!

Greetings from Arizona!
Now that I've finally figured out how to use this thing,and have some time to breathe (a rare occurence this semester) I thought I would give you all an update on my life.
Past year has been chock full of classes and extra-curriculars. Last semester I got to be in an original play, written by our director, called "A Cry For Love." It was an experience, original script, music, and choreography. All were rewritten very often. We competed to got to California in the regional drama festival, but sadly the show didn't make it. We the actors got to go though. Which brings us to what i call "Sarah's stressful months of traveling and sickness", which some of you might know as January.
After getting home from break, I got to spend a week in school, then choir went down to Mexico. Yeah, 12 hours on a bus; not a nice bus. A school bus. Then despite everyone's warnings, I drank the water (i was sick of soda) and was sick on the 12 hour drive home. After this I got another week in school, then the Theater department went to LA. It was an adventure, filled with workshops, watching other people perform and auditioning for schools and companys. I got an offer from a nice one in california, but have decided to stay in Arizona to finish my degrees before I consider transfering.
After getting home from school, I got a weekend and one day of classes before leaving with the Music Department on our highschool recruiting tour for four days. And again, I got very sick on the way home. Apparently traveling and I don't go very well together.
Anyway, I'm now just in classes; 25 credits, and two plays, both of which i have a lead in. (Finally)There we go. My first blog.
(P.S. Sorry i don't have any cool videos or pictures like the other blogs. If anyone has too much of a problem with this, they should talk to my dad about giving me a digital camera :))

me on youtube!

so i am on youtube. i have three vids on there and if you want to chekum out just type in dainknudson just like that and you will get my vids.

Sledding

Going Sledding

Wow, I love to see everyone jumping on to the Blog.

We had a good Saturday not 45 degrees but also no 2 hour test. We went over to some friends house and played games. The girls went sledding, they have a big hill that than goes out on to the frozen lake. They had a lot of fun.

In Like a Lion...

Happy Month-of-MARCH, KnudsonFam!!! Here in Provo, our temperatures are in the 40s and we're absolutely loving it. Pathetic, I know. My roommate called me a wimp yesterday because I wore a light jacket to class instead of just a short sleeved shirt like her. IT WAS ONLY 45 DEGREES!! Anyway, we're pretty excited about the sunshine and the coming spring. Laura and I are especially excited because at some point we're going to trek up to Salt Lake to see all the flowers that we planted back in October!

Well, have a wonderful Saturday, everyone! I am going to spend the next 2.5 hours being tested on the thoroughness of my knowledge of the Koran, the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, Shakespeare, Levinas, Virginia Woolfe, Petrarch, Machiavelli, and Moliere. JOY! After that, I plan on having carpal tunnel for the rest of the day and attending a volleyball game tonight.

Michael

This was one of my favorite trips to DC. I love all the statues and museums but going with the family is always memorable. I think we should have more trips with the family, if for no other reason than to amuse me for the rest of my life. Just kidding, without you guys life would just be average and dull. I love you all.

Thanks for the picture Becca. I found one the other day too.
Guess who this girl is.?

And then there is the one of the 2 rag-a-muffins on the Merry-Go-Round.

Man, times travels fast.

Remember When...

I found this picture and it made me laugh. Those were the good days. Whatever happened to all those cute kids?!

Saturday Afternoon

This is what I call a great Saturday Afternoon.


Abby and I had an early morning going to a swim meet. Maddie had an early morning at dance class and Kate had an early "Vision Therapy" class. So after we all got back home again....it was nap time. Love it

Tonight Maddie is in a Dance Recital, pictures to follow.

Meagan Knudson in Concert!

So, I went to my geography class this morning and after turning in my journal to the front of the class, I heard the TA say the magic words: "Ok, everyone...class is cancelled today because Sister Knapp is sick. Turn in your journals and you can go." Great, I don't have class until 1. My next thought was, YES now I can go and write on the family blog!!! Congratulations, family. You take priority over reading Moliere.

My roommate and I went to the Men's and Women's Chorus concert on Wednesday night and it was AMAZING! I have a couple of videos and some really bad pictures, but hey, better than what you all have, so why not contribute? Sadly, I did not get pictures of the best entertainment of the night: That kid in men's chorus who fainted 3 times before he passed out and had to be carried off by 4 guys. Sorry. I know you all would have loved that. I did get a fuzzy picture of Meagan and one video from Women's chorus and men's chorus each. ENJOY!
Meagan is all the way on the right and she is on the end of the third row from the top.


Sha-la-la-la-la-la Kiss the Girl!


Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight!

Wow...it takes forever for these videos to load (guess I'll be reading Moliere after all). Tonight I'm going to a volleyball game with my roommates. I'll try to get some pictures from that. Even if it is just me and my roommates acting excited.

The New Wave of Knudson Musicans

This is a video of Zac and Liz (and Dad) performing at the Ward's Talent Show.

I'm not really sure why I was in charge of putting up this video. I wasn't actually there. Credit of the filming of this masterpiece goes to Mom. It features Zac on the trombone, Liz on the piano, and Dad singing.

Well, since I'm here...My roommates and I received tickets from our Home Teachers to go to the Jazz concert last night. It was a lot of fun, but SOO long! It had a group called BRIJE (pronounced like bridge) and the BYU group Synthesis. Then, after the intermission we got to hear from the U.S. Army Blues Band. They were amazing! Sorry, though...I didn't get any pictures from that.

Manilow Video

Ok it has taken me 10 days to finally get this video on the "Blog" Enjoy!!!

The Manilow Concert

Wow what a night
For those of you who have not heard....I won front row seats to the Manilow concert this past Friday night. I had to sing a Manilow song on the radio and than I started screaming when I won. As soon as I won I called the second biggest Manilow fan I know, My mother, and wanted her to fly out to go the concert with me. All well and good until her flight got delayed. So Flemming ended up going with me and tried hard not to complain.

It was a fun fun event. We went with another couple from our ward who had been given tickets and so we played Manilow Trivia at dinner and had a great time with them talking about our (ok my) Manilow memories. I totally remember dancing on the trampoline to "Day Break". I remember screaming out "I made it through the rain" after surviving a rough week... Basically every song brings back a memory. I have a bad flashback, that I am sure did not happen, It is a flashback of Tim throwing my Manilow tape out the window at a stop light and it shattering on the ground, but he wouldn't do that to his only sister would he???

I hope you enjoy the pictures and video clips. It was a fun weekend.
