I got roped into being in the Stake Talent Night (this is what happens when the Stake RS knows who you are... It's ok though, I love my Stake RS, they rock!!). And since I was not going to do a talent all on my own, I signed up my presidency as well - HAHA Suckers!! Luckily they love me enough to look past the fact that I didn't ask their permission and agreed to do it with me.
It was a BLAST!!! We did a routine to Buttermilk Biscuits by Sir-Mix-Alot. It's a rap-esque song, so we dressed up like gangstas with aprons and rolling pins as our props. We cut it in half and only did 1:30 of the 3-4 minute song. We came up with actions to go along with the lyrics and practiced the whole hour beforehand, none of this actually being prepared stuff for us!
Laura, Marcia, and I warming up our gangsta attitudes
In action with our gangsta-ness (In order it's Laura, Me, Marcia, Alaina)
While we did have a blast, we completely forgot what we were suppose to do.
We just danced like gangstas and threw our biscuits at the audience (we made some and put them in bags so we didn't make a mess when we threw them)
All-in-all, it freaking ROCKED!!!!
Marcia and me
I forgot to mention the fact that we had a flour fight outside the Institute just before we went on - we had to complete our look ;)
Alaina (or Al as I sometimes call her) swaying back and forth to a song being sung from another act.
Sister Topham (the Stake RS President), Marcia, and me.
Sis Topham and her presidency sang Dancing Queen for their talent.
They were amazing! It was awesome to watch them and cheer till my voice was raw.
After Dancing Queen, Sis Topham and presidency sang another song and invited everyone and anyone to come and join in the dance. Marcia got asked to swing by some guy I don't know. Alaina and I jumped up and danced our hearts out.
Us with the Dancing Queens!
This is most definitely my favorite Talent Night E-V-E-R!!!!!! I love my Stake leadership and my ward! This past year as been the best year. I can't express how much I have loved living and enjoying it!

I am certainly sorry that I missed your performance! By the way, are those red aprons SUU Nutrition aprons???
That's what ya get for going to CA without me ;)
yeah.... about those aprons... I... uhhhh..... borrowed your apron. (Alaina and I switched cuz she is not the frilly apron sort of person) Don't worry I'll wash it before you get back. Sorry I didn't ask permission!
Looks like a LOT of fun - and fun is not allowed, even Shelly knows that!!! You had better get washing that apron :-). Thanks for sharing!!!
Are you driving back with us?
Oh, it looks like you had SUCH a great time. I love the play-by-play pictures and narrative. :-)
Oh, I don't mind that you used by apron - I just wondered if your friends were in culinary (was the other red apron an SUU apron?).
