Talks

The talk went great! And I am so glad its over! So now I don't have to for a really long time..........hopefully!

Christmas Day!!!!!!!!!!!

Its so nice to have something to blog about!! Well I had a fantastic Christmas! Did you? I was woken up by Ari at 6:50. Actually thats not that bad, because our friends woke up their parents at 3:40! It was fun to go down and see the Christmas tree all nice and pretty with presents and stockings, before everything was covered with wrapping paper. The boys, especially Bram were very excited, as they should be. Santa had COME! Everybody got tons of presents, and I liked mine best. Among the ones for the whole family was Rock Band and Lego Rock Band. I got a shirt and a Jane Austen Guide to Manners. The blue rose is from my new headband. They are really popular right now, they are called rose wraps. I was being silly and took a picture of the straightener, blow dryer and the three barreled curling iron. Don't you just love the cheetah? But I am forgetting two of my other BIG presents! A Gone With the Wind gift set. Its a collectible for the 70th Anniversary. It has the movie, special features, little books and other fun stuff! And what did I take all these pictures with? My new blue Camera!!! Its been so much fun!

Do you like CoCo in her bow, or in her Santa outfit?

Bram got hurt today. He was at our friends house and was jumping on the trampoline. I am not sure all of what happened but he hurt his eye. He is fine now and likes riding his Spiderman scooter.

Thats pretty much all. Sorry for the overload, I was having fun with it earlier. It will be pretty fun. I can't wait to see everyone, I just am super nervous for Sunday!!!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas!!!

Its almost Christmas!!!I love this time of year, its the best time to be in Arizona!!I am very excited for Christmas, about three more days!!! I am excited for the presents, but thats not the only reason. My mom and I have been baking all day! Gingerbread Men,Sugar cookies, Peanut butter balls,and bowties! This will be the first Christmas in our new house and its been so much fun! The only thing to dampen the fun is.......I have to say a talk on Sunday!! Ahhh! I am so nervous! Hopefully it will be fine! Bye!

Babies.....

Well, its a boy. I might just have to resign myself to the fact I will always be the only girl! But its okay. Thats all for now!

October!!!

I am so happy!!! It is October Break!!!! Finally!!! I am so excited. The only bad thing....I have a report due Monday!! Yea....:(

But I will return to a happier note. The puppies are still so cute. They about 3 months old now. I think! :)

And we will see cousins. Hopefully.

And its almost Halloween. I have to design a haunted house/maze for the wards trunk 'n treat. I am having fun with that.

I don't know what else to write so I will try to think of something else.

"Get Both of Them!!!!"

We just got adorable puppies!!! They are so sweet. Mom and Dad promised that as soon as we got a new house, we could get a dog, something I have wanted for SO long. So on Thursday we went to the Maricopa Animal Shelter. But after getting lost and not knowing where to go, we got there right after they closed the kennels. So we went home very disappointed. But, luckily Friday was a half day!!!! So right after school we started driving. We got there and started looking for a dog. There was this one called Taco that we had seen online and he was a cute little puppy. But when we go there he was not a puppy. The picture needed to be updated!!!He was cute, but not what we were looking for. Then there was Cinder and she was cute, but not right. So we went to Walmart and Mom talked to Dad while me and the boys ate ice cream cones from McDonald's. I also showed off my awesome knowledge of Spanish. :) We had also seen this cute picture of a chihuahua mix. So we got directions from Dad to this Pet Smart all the way in Deer Valley!! But we went there on a very long drive! When we got there we went in and there she was! She was from the Arizona Humane Society and they had taken her to the Pet Smart. So we got there and she was so cute!!! But we almost did not get her. This other lady wanted her too!! But, luckily the other lady wanted a purebred and not a mix. So she left and we got to hold her. She is so tiny, not even 4 pounds! But in the cage next to Selma, (that was the shelters name for her) there was a equally adorable pit bull/ rottweiler puppy named Rainy!(Again, a shelter name.) And she was so playful and cute. Selma was more dainty and preferred to sit on my lap. But the boys loved Rainy! I was so sad because I loved both of them but I wanted Selma!! So after Mom couldn't decide, she called Dad. This was all after about 45 min. We couldn't leave! And so Dad looked at the pictures of them online and helped Mom decide. And guess what he said?? He said we could have both!!! We were so happy!!! So we got things all figured out and food and a crate for them. And then we drove home!! They are family dogs but Selma is more mine and Rainy is perfect for the boys. They both are so tiny. Also on the way home we picked out new names. Selma and Rainy are cute, but not for them. So now Selma is Coco and Rainy is.. well that's a work in progress, we are thinking about Starry. Coco and Starry are not potty trained so we will have to work on that. Wish us luck:)!!! So Coco is the one that is being held and Starry is the one all curled up. You will probably see the difference, Coco is petite and Starry is more stocky. Starry in the picture is all pooped out from the boys playing with her. The title is '' Get Both of Them'' because that's how a Dad told Mom. So now we have puppies. Hopefully they will stay small and only grow a little. And hopefully they won't destroy the house!!

Also today is Ari's sixth birthday! And Bram's second birthday last week, so the joke is one is for Bram's birthday and the other for Ari's!!

(Sorry the pictures are not very good, they were taken with Dad's phone.)

Well, the first week has passed. On Monday, I got the whole rules lecture in 6 out of 7 classes. One thing I miss about the elementary, is that since there is one teacher, I don't get 6 different lectures. On Tuesday, we started to do some real work with EESI testing. On Wednesday that was done except for in math, of course. Thursday was real work with note taking and receiving assignments. That night I came home and found my history notebook missing with all my stuff in it and the study guide that was due the next day!!!! I was freaking out. More to come on that. Friday was same, and I think I have gotten my schedule down. There was many times over the week that I wanted to follow my old schedule, only to remember and hurry back to the right class to get there on time. Oops! Well, that day after school, Asher cam up to me and lo and behold, he had my notebook!!! Yeah!! He said some girls found it in the bathroom. Why it would be in the bathroom, I have no clue. Oh well. I will have to go but I have more stuff to say and will just have to write later!!!!

A few more days......

Where has the summer gone?? I must once gain feel sad that summer is almost over! Three more days and then school starts. Well, I don't know what else to write.I might have a few friends over tomorrow and go swimming. But I am not sure. And we meet teachers tomorrow. To meet the adults who will torture us for the next year. Actually, they are awesome teachers, and now that all the really horrible ones are gone, it will be okay. So....thats all. Bye!

School starts so soon!!!

What am I to do, school starts on Monday!! Actually, I am really excited to be at school with friends, but not so excited to be with schoolwork, oh well, what can I do?? But we had a lovely end after having Grampa and Grama Green over and the Snells. Fun Fun! And now we must get back to a long 10 months.......

Correction

My Mom was reading the next post and she realized I did not explain how I almost ran over Bram, well I did because he was messing with the tires so when the truck started moving........ well thats all. Sorry if you were confused.

Catch Up Time!

Where to begin?? I don't know! [We moved into the house July 3, that was the first night there. Well maybe I should start with the 4th. ]

We did not do much, spent the whole day moving, went to Applebees and saw 2 tiny fireworks, nothing like the Stadium of Fire. It was not a very big day. We all missed being with cousins. We did read the Declaration for FHE on Monday though.....

Sunday was the last day with our old ward. Very sad. I almost cried thinking that I was leaving the ward and people I grew up with. Nine years is a long time. But I got through it with no tears, mostly because all my friends were like " Kat, don't cry." In Young Women's we were having a little testimony and my friend stood up and said that she was going to miss me and I just almost broke down and cried. I am getting a little teary thinking about it, excuse me for a moment.......... Okay I am done.

Wednesday was the last mutual with them and that was because they were doing a service project and cleaning our old house. I cried there. I couldn't help myself. And the older girls who use to babysit me were telling me all these stories about when I was little. I was just so Sad. I just am going to miss them, even though I will see them, and hang out, it just won't be the same. I can't just walk to their house if I wanted to. Okay, you don't want to here me cry so I will move on to a different part of the week.

We spent the whole last week cleaning. And cleaning. Did I mention we cleaned? It actually was not that bad. Well I got lucky Thursday and Friday I went places with friends and went swimming. Then on Saturday Mom, Dad, and Asher and Rhys went to the Calders to finish the clean-up and I got to stay home with Ari and Bram. And I am very thankful that I did not have to go, but I had a very boring day without any good books. And there wasn't much to do. Oh well.

Sunday was the first Sunday with Cortina First. I was super nervous, this was not just my cousins ward in which I knew at least them. I did not know anyone. But it was okay and I think I am going to like my Young Women leaders.

So that is pretty much everything. There is two more things. We did not have water from Thursday or Friday to Tuesday. That was miserable!! Its horrible, we lived on about 15 gallons of water a day. Which is not that much for a family of 7. Well, it was a good learning experience that I can look back and learn from it, not any time soon.

And the second thing is, I almost ran over Bram, yes, it was horrible. Let me explain. It was on the 4th and we were about to go to Applebees. And I got in the Uhaul and was pretending to drive. Now I know you have to push the brake to move the thing into drive, [thats a different story] and I was showing the boys, something happened and it got stuck and started rolling down the driveway. I opened the door and Dad was yelling "The brakes, the brakes!!" So I slammed on the brakes, got out of the car and hugged Dad. He told me that I almost run over Bram and I started crying and laughing, I couldn't stop. I got in the other car and just sat there. And my contact was coming out and I did not have solution to clean it with or a container to out it in because we were at the Calders. Well I did joke about it after we got out of Applebees. Because my Mom was saying what if I had not slammed on the brakes and it just rolled through into out neighbors backyard? That would be a nice way to meet your neighbors, " Hi, we just moved in and have crashed through your wall. Its nice to meet you."

But its all over and I can laugh about it and it will be fun to tell Bram. And Rhys and Asher were in the car to and their faces!!! LOL! Well, you are probably tired of this so I will stop now and post later. Bye!!

Moving!

I never realized what a chore moving is. The last time we moved it was during school and Mom did most of it. And the time before that, I probably made more trouble then help. But I am really excited to move. I just wished we were done with the cleaning and packing! I am sure everyone knows what I am talking about since most of you have probably moved once or twice:] But at least we have a place to go. Oh, I could just scream from excitement! the house is so cool! The kitchen is HUGE. It has double ovens and like 500 cupboards and it has a butlers pantry. And thats just the kitchen! I won't tell anymore so you will be forced to come and see it, meaning that after we are all settled in, you have to come visit! He he! But that is all for now!

What I learned today.......

What I have learned today is to not put potato peels down the garbage disposal. And yes, the hard way. It was very gross, but thankfully, my awsome Dad cleaned it up. I had to do very little. Thats all. But we are going down to Tuscon tomarrow!!!!

Random Stuff........

I don't know what to right-or I don't know where to start writing. I could write about Girls Camp or how I got contacts or I could write about.......... I guess I should start with Girls Camp! It was so much fun!! I loved it. There was so much to do and I wish it could've gone on forever minus the dirty and the toilet septic tank overfilling because 200 girls used when the camp is supposed to be for 80....... but that is a different story:] Our theme was the values so we had classes and stuff on them. And the skits were amazing. I loved them. I do have pictures, but not all of them and so I will post the later.

But, I got contacts!! Yea!! I am so happy!! I got them on Monday and I am in the process of "breaking them in." I was really good at putting them in and taking them out, in the words of Mom "She just popped them in!" But that doesn't matter. So I am excited I don't have glasses because mine were pretty beat up. I wonder why with only 4 brothers...........:]

But I will just think of some more stuff to put on my blog.

Girls Camp 2!!!!

I just got back from Girls Camp. It was so much fun. We did so much fun stuff. I was a second year! We had to go on a 5 mile hike! It was fun, but up hill. And there was a monkey bridge and zip line! I will have pics of everything as soon as I get pics from my leaders. Well I got to go unpack! How fun! :[

Girls Camp!!!!

Girls Camp is on Monday, thats all I really wanted to say. I am so excited! Ya-hoooooooooo

Home Alone...... well with Mom and Baby

This last weekend was Father and Son Camp out, so Mom and I decided that we were going shopping. [I got some new church shoes and a cute scarf.] When we got home at about 10:00 pm, we were just watching t.v. [Jay Leno] and then we went to bed. I read a little and went to sleep, but mom kept reading. This all happened at about midnight. At 12:30 am mom hears a coo-koo noise. She just relaxes and just is like whatever. Then at 1:00 am she hears it again. so she comes in my room and asks me if I heard it and wakes me up. So we went thru the whole house with dads pistol and we did not find anything. So I went up to her room and slept in her bed while she was reading. Then at 1:30 am I hear it also. So we did the whole routine again. And this time we stay downstairs. I watch t.v. and at 2:00 am she sees this little box and it does that noise. It was a game the boys were playing and when they left it was still going. So it started to do that every half hour to try and get some one to play or something. But we did not get to bed till between  2:30 and 3:00 am. And we did not get up till 10:00 am!! There is another story but I will let Mom tell that one if she feels like it.  But now the boys are back and church is tomorrow. Good night........

Who knows what I should write about........

Oh wait, I do know what to write about!!!!!!!!!!!! School is out for the summer!!! I am so excited!! This has been a really hard year because I have had to juggle with a few teachers and their totally different personalities, I had never done that before. Although  I'm sure most everyone knows what I am talking about. The math got harder and since math is my strong point, that was not a very good thing! I am not a genius like my dad when it comes to that stuff although I would like that. But I am going to work at the stuff I am having problems with over the summer. Yay!!!! :] So this really seems more of a relief that there is summer then in other years. No more projects for about 2 months!! But I am sad that its ending because I won't see my friends for that 2 months. :[ 

Oh well. But I can read and write and shop all day long!! and see cousins  at least twice a week!:] Well there is not much else to write about so bye..............

Baby Bram and HMD

I know Bram is almost two, but I will probably call him baby for a little longer. Now why is this all about Bram? Because right now, he is screaming and crying. He went outside on the rocks and stuff in the Snells front yard and he wasn't wearing shoes. And now his feet are burned and blistered and its gross. And I know I should be helping mom, but I don't do good with that kind of stuff. We might take pics, but I make np promise.


By the way, Happy Mothers Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby and my Violin!

I was practicing my violin when baby came along. I think its pretty cute!

Uh, nothing really! [Ok, maybe a lot more then nothing!]

I had not posted for a while, so I thought I would. I have been having a nice time because.........

1. School is out in 4 weeks

2. The Marbles came down

3. I have been taking it easy at school, yesterday, I didn't even  have to go.

4. School is almost out! Did I mention that??? 

I am really excited for summer because I am sick of school! And at the end of the year is all the hard stuff you've been working up to. Example,  in English, we have to write 12 paragraphs instead of 3-5.  And the reason is,  its 2 compositions in one. So its taking forever! and we have school testing next week, tests in every subject etc.  Enough of school, lets move on. 

We have a new little cousin! Grace is finally here, and is a week old today! I think. Or was it yesterday? Oh no, I need to get it straight! 

Another subject is orchestra. We have a competition this week, and apparently, none of my black skirts are long enough. They don't cover my knees when I sit down! Oh no! How could I have gone to church like that?? Somebody  should've told me! [Annoyed\Horrified\Sarcastic face and tone:]  Mrs. McConaghie, my orchestra teacher, is really stressing out about it. Half the kids in orchestra are fed up with it, especially the eighth graders who can't wait to give up orchestra. The competition is this Wednesday, so it will be over soon. But I still have to get a black skirt over the weekend. But enough!

So after all this, I hope I made you smile and laugh and say, '' Silly Katherine, she needs to grow up!'' Just kidding. Well please post and I hope I can see everyone Soon!!!! Good night!!

New Dress!

Aunt Danette requested that I put a picture of my new dress on my blog, so, here it is. I am trying to decide what kind of shoes to wear with it.......

Cheer Clinic

Today we had the cheer clinic, which was really fun. There were 8 cheerleaders and about 105 girls! No big deal! [Also, when that many girls don't like oatmeal raison  granola bars, you get a WHOLE bunch!] It was really fun but I got sunburned, which is going to be fun. Thats all really about that except they did this really cute dance at the end. 

But on another note, I got a Easter dress, it is white and the has blue roses all over it and ties in the back with a dark blue sash. I am exited to wear it. 

I am all better now thank goodness and I can go places!!!

I don't have much more to say so I will say Good Night!

Summer, Sick and Boredom

  I have been sick, and its almost been as bad as that.  The other picture is what I am looking forward too since school is so close to being out.  Not necessarily at the pool, but with all the cousins. The other picture of Bram is of being goofy and having a case of boredom. It's so boring at your house if you haven't  left it since Saturday. [Although I left for 20 min. today.] Well thats all for now. 

Babies in Shower!

Today, I went upstairs to grab nail polish. Ari came up to me and said,''Kat, you better come here!'' I got a little scared and followed him. Well, Bram was sitting up on the counter and there was fish food Everywhere! Not even funny!  So here is where I draw the title in, while I was cleaning it up, Bram got in the shower, and was pretending to shower. He was rubbing his hair and everything! It was hilarious! Bram is so cute and I love him. 

Last Friday I went to Tucson and saw Bradeigh!!! She is so tiny- Bram wasn't even that tiny the day he was born! She was so tiny and precious. I can't wait to see her again. I have pictures of somethings and I can't wait to show them. Maybe I will get them today! Well I have got to go!

New Babies!!!!! [Well one really]

I have been eagerly waiting for a new cousin and she has finally arrived!!!!!!! I am kind of sad I don't hold March all to myself[Just Kidding] But since I have too:], it is a fun thing to share it with Bradeigh! I can hopefully see her soon! I love little babies and they are so sweet, especially Girls! Well I can't wait to see Melanies post on her!! But of course I will just have to wait! Well I don't have much else to say except I am going to the Easter Pageant for mutual!

Ice cream Sandwiches, Gum And Mutual

There must be something about me that makes me want to get frosting and cake and ice cream all over my face!  For Example.........

On Monday night for the treat was ice cream sandwiches. They were melting and then ta-da, you have a chocolate covered katherine. Then on Tuesday night I got gum all over me, [still trying to figure that one out] and I was all sticky. Then on Wednesday, I went to mutual where we were having contests. There was one where they put a piece of gum on the plate, and they put a TON of whipped cream on it. You had to find the piece of gum and then blow a bubble. Guess who was one of the ones to do it? ME!! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures.  Well, so far nothing else has gotten all over me.

Bolt!

Today we went and saw Bolt. It is a really cute movie. I liked the cat best! This is a short post but I just wanted to say we saw Bolt. Well, see ya'll later! [Is that how you do it?]

Ending of Spring Break......Sigh

Well, its almost the end of Spring Break. Monday is school again. On Wednesday we went to Tucson. That was very fun.  Then on Thursday and Friday, I spent the day reading and playing with Bram. It was extremely peaceful. Today I hope to go see a movie or/and go to the library. I don't know what to post anymore. I guess I will have to end now...........

P.S. Hope to see you all soon!

Karab

Hello! I can't believe some people thought I looked cute with cake and silly string! Well here is day one of Spring Break. We went shopping all day and ended it up at Walmart where we got...............Karab! He is our new beta fish. K stands for Kat, A stands for Asher, R for Rhys, A for Ari, B for Bram. Its pronounced Careb though. Hopefully tomorrow we will see all the Tucson people here for this festival thing we are going to. Well its time to go.  So long, farewell...............

Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!

He was so excited had fun looking at all the presents and cake. You can't really see it as much in this picture though. 
This is the gorgeous cake Mom made!
This is the beautiful apron GG made me!

This is me in all my birthday glory!!

Okay, here are all the pictures of my birthday. I had a ton of fun. My friend, Ashleigh, took me out to Olive Garden for lunch,

 that was yummy! I got a ton of clothes. That huge box is filled to the top with clothes! I got a motorcycle, a little toy one. Its a very long story. And I got my inspiration piece for my future room. Its a little blue box and its so classy. I got a white alarm clock which I had desperately needed. I got the 60th anniversary edition of Gone With The Wind. I got charms to put on necklaces and mascara. I got an adorable apron from GG and it is Adorable! One of the pictures is me wearing it.

But now for Spring Break. It is going to be fun. On St. Patricks Day the Snells are suppose to come down, the Wednesday and Thursday we will be going down to Tucson.  Then Friday and Saturday we will be going camping. Then school. That will be fun.[Said Sarcastically] I don't know what to do tomorrow but it will be fun. The first picture is of Bram. He looked do cute so I had to put this picture on.  This last picture is of me with the cake and silly string. Don't I look gorgeous? I will have to post later. So long for now:]

Birthday

Sorry, I have not been blogging!!! I was SO busy with school! Finals, projects due, math....... well its my birthday! I am now 13 and can wear mascara which has been the highlight so far!! Yesterday my friends got together and surprised me with a little party. They kidnapped me and took me to the park where there was cake and streamers! When I got there I got a can of silly string sprayed in my hair and a little cake shoved in my face!  And it wasn't a slice, it was a mini cake! Don't worry I got a picture! I couldn't get a picture of all of us but I  did  get one of one my friends.  But I had a ton of fun! Tonight I will be able to open all my presents and have cake and ice cream so there will be more pictures later. I am so excited and i can't stop thinking about! Well here is the pictures! Uhh ....... on second thought the camera  needs to charge but I will get them!!!!!

Happy!

Mom and Dad and Bram are finally back from Georgia! I couldn't possibly tell everywhere they went so you will have to look on their blog! I am excited to see them all again. Bram was so funny last night, he was going crazy seeing us all again! It was cute.  

I know I've said this millions of times but I will get pictures by tomorrow. See if I don't! But remember, my cheer coach has more so there will be only a couple till then! Well I have got to go! Bye!

Technical Difficulties

We can't get the pictures so we will have to wait on that.

 

But today we had our ''Cupids Canter''  Finally!* Well it was extremely boring and I about died of boredom! Well Happy Valentine's Day! I will update later about the pictures.

* See later post. Its a long story!

Pictures

I will get them soon! I wish I could see them, I haven't even seen them! They are on my Grandmas camera. I will get them in a couple hours though, hopefully. Well I don't know what else to write about so,.... See Ya!

Answers

There were some questions on the whole good and bad cheerleader thing. It's good to bad and it's bad to be good. Do ya get what I'm saying? And it wasn't part of the routine, just something that we had fun with. That would've been a good idea though. I wish I had pictures to show but I ned to  download them. SO good night everyone [or at least on my part] I will post more about this stuff tomorrow!

P.S. This ''split'' happened on Tuesday!

P.S.S. For the competition, we had little paw prints to put on our faces!

P.S.

In the next post there is a sentence and it says ''the girl who wouldn't get it'' and then the next sentence. They aren't the same girls. Sorry, didn't want to confuse you:]

Today!

I am so excited! But added to the drama of yesterday, remember the girl who wouldn't get it ?? Well our flyer, base,  and tumbler hurt her fingers! So I will let you know how that goes! But it will be fine, I mean she's only like half of what happens! Hopefully that will work out! But now I will babble on like I always do before stuff like this! Well today stuff happened and it was really fun! Oh yeah there are bad  and good cheerleaders and I am in the bad cheerleader group haha! And we shoot each other and it's so much fun! [Insert evil laugh] There are only two other bad cheerleaders and there are other cheerleaders and  they are so like ............ oh I don't know Good! Oh and apparently the bad cheerleaders are so full of themselves  and that does NOT sound like me! [Insert annoyed sigh]  

Well that will end my confusing babbling.

For more info in why its like that look under the title!

And now I need to go get ready!                                                                                                                                                          

P.S.   But here is a picture of me in my uniform. The other girl is a good cheerleader,but that was before good and bad cheerleaders. See above if it doesn't make sense!  The other picture is..........me!

Tomorrow!

Well my cheer spectacular is Tomorrow! I am really excited but worried about this one stunt, this one girl just won't get it! It's very frustrating! She keeps falling because she is sitting instead of going up! I have gotten hurt many times because of this, not to mention my glasses! But the rest of it is good! I will be getting pics and videos as soon as Miss Arnold[my cheer coach] gets them to us. And when I can download them with Dad.

It's been fun doing cheer and will probably do it next year too. And in High School.......

 I will hopefully be able to post tomorrow but if I don't, look for a post on Thursday. 

Post Later:]

Rain!!!!

When we went to school today, it was raining and now its starting up again! This is really nice because its well.......  Arizona! 

At school every year we have a "turkey trot''. Its where 20 boys and 20 girls run half a mile. I don't enjoy it but some people get real competitive about it. Well it rained on the day scheduled for it and so they didn't do it. Then they changed it to "reindeers run'' for Christmas. Guess what? It rained on that day too! SO now its '' Cupids Canter''. If it rains this Friday, which hopefully it does, it will be the ''bunny hop''! Then they might give up. Its funnier if your here and you see all the people get happy and then sad when it rains!  

 Two more days until I have my cheer competition! I am so excited and can't wait for it. We are doing a cheer, and a  dance. The dance is to the song ''We Want it All'' in HSM3. And we are doing a dance with Higley cheerleaders too which will be fun! I am probably boring you with my silly talk so I will stop now. 

Bye!

P.S. Don't you love the cupcakes?I think they are so fun!

Excited!

I am so excited! This next Wednesday the 11th [I think] I am having my cheer competition! The only thing is that Mom and Dad won't be there! I would like everyone to come! It won't cost that much because 12 and under are free and tickets are only $3.00. There will be dances and cheers from 2 or 3 different schools, and then a finale with all the schools and the high school cheerleaders. But if no one can make it, I will put the video of my dance on here. There is not much else to say so I will  go!

I have not been on the computer for a while unfortunately. Thus I did not see that Tyler, Ethan and Maryn got blogs! Congratulations!  Well I hope I will be able to post some more later! Bye!

Uh, Fire and Police

In our neighborhood a house burned down. And so can you guess who is up at 9:00 p. m. gathering up supplies, yep it's the church. The policemen think its a person who burned it down on purpose. They have nothing but the things on their back, not kidding. SO they have gathered shirts and shoes and all this other stuff. For the girl there is makeup, brand new shoes and school stuff and more is to come. But on our way home from the fireside we were taking home my friend and her brother. He was going on about the game today and all of a sudden the policemen lights flared! So we all had to hurry to put our seat belts except Mom and we got pulled over! She didn't get a ticket thank goodness but it was a scary thing! She got a verbal warning, and so we teased Dad about it when we got home which was fun! So now I should go but before that happens I heard Maddie came home! So I hope I can see her soon! Goodnight everyone! [Even though none of you will read it tonight!]

Happy

I'm so happy! I read Jeanene's blog and I was soooooooooo happy to hear Maddie is fine! I was worried that day and was really sad. But now I know that she is fine! [Thank you so much for the update Jeanene!] Now I can just wait, impatiently I might add, to finally be able to see her again! So now I can go to sleep with the reassurance that she is better and I can sleep with a smile!

P.S. This has nothing to do with what I'm writing about but I figured out how to put paper on my blog and without Dad or Mom's help so I am pretty proud right now! :]

Hair!

True to my word here are the pictures of Mom and Asher. Asher is on the right and Mom on the right! Hope you enjoy! I thought they turned out well! Though the one of Asher does not do justice to how funny it looked! Enjoy!

Gardens..

Last Saturday, my Dad got me seeds to plant a garden for my Faith project in Young Women's. I started digging up dirt and am on my way to gardening! It will include bean, corns, basil, and cilantro. I have my Grandma Murphy helping me since she had a garden in Alaska. When the plants start shooting up, I will take pictures. I hope they make it that far, because last time I tried doing this, Ari cut them up. Yep, he went out there with scissors and cut them up when they were a couple inches high. It was a very sad day for me. I was very proud of them and had fun watering them and all that stuff. But I will stop now and move on. [Wait one moment while I have a last cry.] Okay. all better now:] Well, I'm going to Young Women's volleyball soon which will be fun. 

P.S. Mom got her hair cut and its now cut like Alice from Twilight, which is what I think, though she wasn't trying that. It's now platinum blonde. It was shocking when I saw her because, before she got it I saw her after school, then when I got home from cheer, it was blonde and short! Well brothers are nagging so I have to get off.  I will post again soon though!

P.S.S. Asher just went to light the grill, and well lets just say his hair is burnt! Its so HILARIOUS! Well I will have pictures of both soon! Check back tomorrow to see them!

Stitches, Pens and What Else?

Okay, I have to apologize for the last post! I didn't realize it was so light! But, the main part of the article is to arrive. Today in school my friend, Tessara, was trying to break a pen. Jilline and I were in the bathroom washing our hands. Tessara walks in with blood in her hands. When the blood is washed off, I see that it is very deep, like stitches deep! When we go to the nurse, the nurse looks at it and says "Stitches!" SO she had to call home and is probably getting the stitches right now! 

  Moral of the story: Don't try to break pens!

Frogs!

Okay. when I posted that I was going to dissect a frog, everyone wanted details. Well , if I don't describe it as much as you wanted, there is a website called froguts.com and it has a virtual tour of dissecting a frog. Okay, here is the details! 

  We started out by getting the frog and observing the hands and feet. Then we started  cutting it up! We had to stop just as we cut up the stomach because the class period ended. The next day [today] we opened it up the whole way. There we found out it was a female because of all the eggs. Those were nasty looking. We took them out and finished dissecting it! One of the boys in our group kept saying some of the parts looked like food, so I don't think I will be eating pasta soon...  or cotton candy. We didn't finish again so on Monday we will finish up Finally! All in all I guess it was wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and I even touched it! the only person that didn't really touch the frog was a girl. Me and my friend started poking it with the knives and other tools that there was. It was kind of fun. [You were right Aunt Danette, it wasn't that bad.]  Well I will see if we do more on Monday. Have fun at froguts.com!:]

     P. S. Thanks for all  the comments you post!

Starting School

Today I started school which was a Blast! Ha Ha! I changed seats in a lot of classes. I am tired of school already, and excited about cheer! Cheer was nice and it felt good to stretch and do the big 12!  The big twelve is 12 different stretches we do for a minute each! It KILLS. I will be really sore tomorrow and won't be able to move. But it feels really good!  And when I do it I feel all tough:] Well I should start homework and study for tests............

P.S. I have to dissect a frog on Wednesday!

South Mountain

                                                         This is in the bigger building.

                                                                                           

This is Ari with the hat,then Asher and Rhys. They are at the smaller building.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            Yesterday we went on a hike to South Mountain. It was really fun and enjoyable.  It was a slightly hard hike because, being Arizonian mountains,  it was extremely sandy and rocky. There were many steep areas and and on the way down from the peak, they were so slippery, that Ari fell down and then pulled me down also when I grabbed his hand. I also think Dad is amazing because he did all this  with Bram asleep on his back.                                                                                                             But it was very fun and along the way there  were many rocks  that the boys climbed and that had tunnels in them.  There was also a fort looking building, made out of rocks. One was like a one-room house and the other like the gathering room. It was big with benches and two mini  fire-places. Also, there was this big rock and it had Indian hieroglyphs, [hopefully I spelled that right], which were fun to look at. 

   When we were almost done with our hike and we were heading towards the parking lot and Asher was leading  the way when my Dad saw a coyote. He yelled to Asher to stop and I yelled and then Asher looked up. He didn't see the coyote though and both Dad and I were surprised. The coyote was twenty feet in front of him.  Dad concluded that the coyote saw Asher and might've been hungry  and wanted to get him because the coyote didn't stop until he saw me and Rhys walk up behind Asher. It was amazing and we saw its footprints in the sand when we got closer to where the coyote was. 

 All in all, it was a pretty fun hike and I had tons of fun!
