B-Day/Christmas

This is for you Hanna. I am writing on my blog. Tee Hee.

So, Dec. 26th, a couple days ago, I wrote a super long, detailed post about my Christmas- NOTHING LEFT OUT. But while I was writing, I was practically at the end of my like 3 hour long post, I typed the word "Couldn't" and RIGHT as i was done with that word ever word of that post DELETED ITSELF right as i was about to post it. My mom says there is something wrong with our mouse or whatever. I was SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrated.

Anyway, I have decided to shorten up everything to what I got. Much Better that that huuuugggeee post, right?????

Caliente

This week I had an AWESOME 3-day trip to CALIENTE, to see my cousin, Hailey, get baptised. It was really fun visiting their cute little town-I love going there every once in a while. Although, the ride there and back is.....not so fun. (A 5-hour drive is alot for me....but then again, it isn't as bad as Lake Powell's 9-hour drive.) Right after she got baptised,  and we ate refresments, we had a BLAST of a Saturday at Cathedral Gorge. (Or however you say that!)

    Cathedral Gorge or however you say it, is I guess like a small Valley. At first i was a little afraid because Hailey kept going on and on about the Mountain Lions, or Cougars, that lived there. But then later Daniel said there was some kind of protective fungus that grows along the trail. First, we went thorough this big flight of steps. The we saw wells and diffrent cool other caves and things, then we got to the MOON CAVES where the real fun began.

    At Moon Caves I learned how to ROCK CLIMB!!!!! It was so fun, but then again also scary. first we went up a 30-foot cliff, then there was a small passage way to stand, and another 30-foot cliff down the other side. So the tallest dude went down first ( BTW, we broke the rules and turned the rope over and went down the other cliff. ) Then when the rope cut out of length half-way, we stood on the dude's shoulders and piggy backed to the ground. Then we SQUEEZED through small places and got on our tummys and crawled thhrough caves, it was really pretty cool. Then we rock climbed back up, and ROPPELLED down the other side. (See Hanna, you should of come-You would of had SO much fun with us!!!! Oh and I forgot a part, Only kids above 8 that wanted to go could go.) Daniel said that I was the BEST ropeller. (Krissi knows what that means!!!!)  ropelling is like go DOWN the cliff rather than up. (If didn't already know.)

   Over all the rating was.....AWESOME!!!!!!!! But, Grandma didn't take her camara, so we didn't get pictures.....sorry!

   1-10.......rating = hmmmm.......9.99
                                            BAD:  because no camara. GOOD: because the Hotel we stayed at, (it was cute, small and simple) the food, the activitys...pretty much everything else. Only a Quarter percentage or whatever for no camara.

THANKS GUYS!


P.S. Hope you like the new background and header!

Disneyland

As I was scrolling through my blog, I noticed i hadn't posted about our recent Disneyland trip.. DUGH! Well, Better late then never, right?

   This year we stayed at the Paradise Pier hotel. Tuesday, when we attempted to swim in the pool, Kelsey through up in the water. Nice, right? So then we had to get out and the pool was closed the rest of the day. My mom was SOOOOO mad.

    We went on almost ALL the rides....though Storybook Land is the only one I think that was closed...(If you've been there before, Storybook Land is the tiny boat ride by that giant Whale figure.) The best makeover, (for Halloween of course,) was DEFINETLY the Haunted mansion. Even though it was mostly dressed up for X-mas. But, there were Halloween decorations. That counts, right?
    
    The one my MOM hated the most was of course the awesomest one, CALIFORNIA SCREAMIN'!!!!!!! We went on Pirates, Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, Small World (now fixed-YAY!), (and something else I'm having a hard time remembering right now) twice. Kelsey wasn't tall enough for most rides, but we were surprised when she was good enough for the MATTERHORN! She didn't think it was scary at ALL, and LOVED it! (I was screaming at the top of my lungs, I will say.....too.)

    On Wednesday we went to the awesome Huntington Beach. The waves were WAY to close to the shore, (Giant ones right up to our feet. All we did was run up close, and run back. One of the times Cameron fell, but he was OK.) but our Grandma took us out into the middle, even though she had to hold us up when the waves came. While Grandma and Kelsey were making a Sand Castle, (Kelsey doesn't like the water much.) Grandma called us up to see-----
DOLPHINS
leaping up WAY high and playing. It was WAY cool.

         After that we went on a LLLOOONNNGGGG walk up to the pier, and ate lunch at Betty's. While we were walking around the place trying to find a good picture spot, we saw a PELICAN playing, (or I guess trying to eat the fisherman's fish poles,) and had to take some pictures by it.
 
     When we came back, Kelsey decided she wanted to make a "Sand Angel" where (she didn't see) a bee was. YIKES!!!! :0 :)

   After Kelsey got stung by a bee, my mom was done, and we left.

Best breakfast: Lilo and Stich place, or Chip n' Dales
Favorite ride: Hmmmm....Between Tower of  Terror, or California Screamin'.
Favorite store: DEFINETLY the DISNEY store. (World of Disney.)
Favorite restaurant: Ihop. (we went there on our way to the beach for breakfast.)
Disappointing!!!: The Blue Bayou was booked the ENTIRE week. Also, Kelsey puking in the pool.
Overall trip: 9/10



*****I'll post the pictures ASAP. Don't worry.

P-I-O-N-E-DOUBLE T-E-S

One day while coming home from school, We met a couple of High-School students, giving out flyers. I accepted, and took one. When we got home, I looked it over, and decided I wanted to do it. (I had done It two years before. Even though it was totally different this time then last time.) When the sign ups were up, we signed up for me, and Kortney. The gave us a note saying the times, and the days the clinics were, and the day of our preformance.

     Well, we were going to dance at the Lehi High School, at half-time at the football game. Yesterday, was the day we did that.

     We were dancing to "Let's Get Crazy" by Mylee Cyrus. And the boys danced to some hip-hop song. It was totally awesome. When we got there, we got our hair done, by Paul Mitchell school. We also got make-up and face paints. Kortney took everything out before we could get a picture of her. (Lehi LOST BTW.) But she had her hhair in ponytails, and a P&L painted on her cheecks for Lehi Pionettes.

But, Here's me:

Movie Night

Yesterday we had Movie Night. We had  it with my aunt Krissi, My cousins, Hunter, Maddie, Alex, Austin, all us 4, and my grandma. At the end though, my Grandpa and Uncle Travis came to pick us all up. We watched Monsters VS. Aliens, and had Pizza and snacks. By the time we were home we were way tired.

  Oh Yes, and another thing, it is fall now, and here it is getting FREEZING. I absoulutly HATE it. I hate this cold time of year. It sucks.

     Today is also Confrence. Whoops.....I have to go watch it!

BYU Game! (A.K.A. Saturday.)

On Saturday I started off with going Painting. I went to my Aunt Lindsey's house to paint with my grandma, and my Aunt Cristi. I painted a heart shaped box, and some pumpkins to put in the garden. After the wait for 30 hours, my dad came to pick me up, to go to the BYU game.

    Now we go back to Friday. The BYU game was extra special because on Friday the BYU team, (Not ALL OF THEM. That would be WAAAAY too many.) came to MY SCHOOL, to talk to US ONLY. It was totally AWESOME! They came to give a presentation on "THE BUFF DON'T PUFF." See if you can figure it out. (clue: answer at bottom of post.) Thing of STRONG or MUSLES then think of PUFF. Think about it.

    Anyway, I had answered a question, and so one of the players on the team, RILEY NELSON, infact, gave ME a SPECIAL pen saying on it: The Buff Don't Puff. It was totally awesome. Just had to include that part. Some of the players included Riley Nelson, (WOOH HOOH!) Bryson something, (He's starting the team next year,) JoJo Plii, Manase Tonga, and, I don't know. I can't remember the rest. So Anyway, After I got picked up from painting (I just have to include something else.) A helicopter landed in the middle of the road in Eagle Mountain, right in front of us. This stoped us up. But we managed to go through the back of Walmart and go around it.

       After we got there, BYU IN THE LEAD (!!!!YAY!!!!) It was half-time and we went to go get a football for the players to sign. At like 8:00 at night, after the game was over, we waited for the players to come out and sign autographs. We got most of the players, (A TON.) and 2 cheerleaders. When Riley Nelson came out to sign our football, my dad told him he came to my school. And He said "Oh, Yeah!" and told me that he remembered that from YESTERDAY. Then he told me to remember "THE BUFF DON'T PUFF." (Keep thinking.) It was so cool. (EVERY time they made a touchdown, we had to stand up and sing the BYU football song.)

        Well, now I will just have to wait for the big BYU-UTES game. That's going to be awesome. This year it is at BYU stadium. (BYU won BTW. The end score was like 42-23 I think.)



THINKING TIME!!!!
THE BUFF DON'T PUFF:
The Buff Don't Puff means that
famous people DON'T SMOKE.
That was the Object of the lesson
was to not smoke. We all signed
a poster in class saying we
would be tobacco free.
I signed!

That was Totally AWESOME

So, My dad Went golfing for the weekend, (He's coming back tomorrow.) In St. George, and here's what we did. (Besides school.)


Yesterday we got to go to my cousin Hudson's birthday party. He had it at Wines Park, so we played on the playground. My favorite was the chocolate cake....Yum.


Also, on Friday we got to go see Cloudy with a Chance of  Meatballs. It was REALLY Good. You guys should see it. My reveiw is 5 stars.
The Amazing......FLINT....something or other.

Some day, any day now, I am going to tell about my awesome Lake Powell Trip. It was so cool....I'm just gettting lazy...(ha ha.)

Lake Powell 2009

This year, I decided to go on the anual Lake Powell trip. It Wasn't easy talking my mom into it, but in the end I got to miss school to go on the MOST AWESOMEST vacation EVER. We did so much, and it was sad to come home to boaring old school. Here's what we did:

Moon Shadow

Our swim after Rainbow Bridge

09-09-09

Yesterday was so cool.....It was September 09th, 2009. Otherwise known as 09-09-09. I stayed up last night and watched it when my watch face said 9:09 and the date in the top corner said 09th and the seconds said 09. It was all nines. It's too bad i couldn't post this yesterday......I had boring old school....If only I could still be at Lake Powell right now! Keep coming back...That update will be arriving soon! (As soon as I can get all the pictures.)

School...Again!

School is starting yet again. Yesterday we had Back-to-School night, and I met Mr. Trout, and he was actually Kind of funny. Kortney met her teacher, Mrs. Shedden, and she really like her too. (And she said she just LOVED her clothes. Ha ha.) And Cameron already knew his teacher, so it wasn't much for him. He got Madsen, AGAIN. Then we payed for school lunches, had a peak at the new (AWESOME (BTW)!)laptops for our computers subject, and a look at the school shirts, so we could buy one for Kortney.


Tomorrow is the first day of school, (Bummer!) and I am going to....try to get used to eating school lunches again. I can't believe I'm going to do that again...It is going to be...Weird.







Kortney doesn't start school until next week because she has to be tested. (And she doesn't like the Idea of it.) She is going to be tested Thursday. (Tomorrow.) She is so eager to just start already....And Me and Cameron don't want to start until she does! We all want to switch places...



Today was also the end of our golf lessons. (Me and Cameron) We played 3 Holes. (I think.) And We got prizes today, too. Cameron got a pair of fingernail clippers, and I got a dollar. (There was 5 things to chose from but when it was our turn, there was only 2, so we got what was left.) My dad said I needed to play on the high school golf team...Yeah right. (But I might try For the Tennis Team.)

I love this song.

More awesome today

Today I also, also got to have a sleep over with my cousins from Nevada. I get to see them (I did yesterday, too.) today, tomorrow, and Sunday.

I also got a new desk. When we have put it together, I will take some pictures and show them.

It has been a fun day.

Teachers

Today we also found out who our teachers will be. I got MR. TROUT. Iam really bummed. I GOT A BOY TEACHER. Whatever you say, boy teachers are NEVER as good. Well, I will look on the brightside. I admit that I DID say that I wanted Mrs. Reveria, BUT I did say that if i didn't get her I WOULD rather have Mr. Trout than any other teacher. (The plus side, He LOVES Snoopy, just like me. INSTANT CONNECTION. AND he is really funny. But, Mrs. Reveria was a pirate lady and a really good teacher.) AND I am greatfull that I didn't get Mrs. Blackburn, The MEANEST EVER teacher in the school. Ask ANYONE.

The Awesome book

So, Today I finished the 7th Novel in the Harry Potter series. It was good, THEY were good. They were THE BEST books I have EVER/WILL read. If you haven't read them, DO IT NOW! Read them! And if I can spoil it, Ron and Hermione got MARRIED, and so did Harry and Ginny. They would all be in one family. I found this weird. Well, All else i have to say is, TAKE A SHOT AT IT! Even if you think it is LAME, like I once did. If I must I will tell you my story, that turned out to be a very good thing to happen. I am glad I read the series.

MY STORY:

One day, when we came across talking of books to read, and Harry Potter came up, (at the time,) I thought it was the LAMEST bookI could ever read. But I was wrong. My aunt Hanna told me that I had to atleast TRY them. That I would get to read the first 50 pages, and if I was a total weirdy, and didn't like them, she would never ask me to read anything again.

I accepted the challenge.

Later that week, we went to the library, and checked out the first book. I read it in 4 days, I loved it so much.

I got into the series so much, that I read book after book, and here I am now. Done with the last book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.

And there you have it. Seriously people, read them. I now see it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually not enjoy them.

FREEDOM! (Of 1-and-a-half days.)

So, for the weekend, everyone but me, and my mom, went camping. We had an Awesome Girls weekend. Which included:

1. Going shoppoing at the mall with our Aunt. I got Some pairs of earings, And a TOTALLY cute headband.
2. We went to the movies, and saw, DRUM ROLL PLEASE, the only, the awesome, the TOTALLY COOL, HARRY POTTER!!!!!! Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince. (speaking of Harry Potter, I am on BOOK number 7. Name: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. The last one. The movie was only the 6th movie, (the book i finished like a week ago,) So, there is still more awesomeness to come.) It was AWESOME. I loved it.
3. Then we wnt to Target, And i got a matching outfit for my headband.
4. The next day, we went to Park City. I got a 80's STYLE NEON HOT-PINK PEACE SHIRT. It is so Awesome. My mom doesn't like it though...(ha ha. :)
5. Then, From there we went to camp. We arrived at like 4:00, and then we ate dinner after a little while, and at about 9:30, after sitting around the campfire for an hour, we all went to bed.
6. After that, It comes to Today. We woke up, ate breakfast, packed up, and left. :eaving only Cameron and my dad. Then we stopped for Lunch, and came home. And that brings me to now.

I have to admit, It was a pretty Fun weekend.

Sunglasses- TO THE MAX!

So, We recently went to, the awesome, KOHL'S(! :) And, i got me some new sunglasses...I LOVE them. (But now i am the only one WITH sunglasses, 'cause Cameron stepped on my mom's this morning :(.)











The Awesome me, rockin' my new sunglasses!

Oh Yeah!

Rock On! Rockin' the Sunglasses!

Peace out!
