Oh My Gosh!!

Oh my gosh! We just got back from seeing Avatar!! It was AMAZING!!!!! We saw it in 3D and it was, wow, it was one of the best movies i've seen for a while! Makes me wish i was a Na'vi and lived on Pandora! You'll have to go and see it for yourselves! My whole family loved it!

uh..

I'm so excited! Next week is Christmas! And only 4 more days of school and then it's winter break! YEAH!! We would have gotten out earlier if the weather man had been right about it snowing/freezing raining. I don't trust or believe the weather man anymore! Especially during the winter! He gets all our hopes up and then he's wrong! But i guess it did freeze rain everywhere BUT forest grove, where i happen to live. Oh well, there's always January right? I'm hoping that nothing will upset me so i can have and awesome last week of school(for december anyways). BTW: Did you know we are now in the 12 days of Christmas? This month has gone by so fast that it doesn't feel like next week on friday should be Christmas, but it it! I can't wait! =) (i know i've said that a lot already...but i seriously can't wait!!!!)

Christmas time is here...

I'm so phyched that it's Christmas time!!! I have alot of Christmas songs stuck in my head! Because in the morning our bus driver, Denise, plays Christmas music and then on the way home from school she turn's in up really loud, for the whole way. I'm not complaining though, I LOVE Christmas songs.

Speaking of Christmas, I walked in the door and find my mom just barley had finished wrapping some presents. Jackie's is HUGE! It seems like having the biggest preset switches off between us. I was thinking, too bad I didn't walk in while she was wrapping mine, then I would know what it is! But then again I really like surprises! I just hate waiting the 21 more days till I can open it!

HaLlOwEeN

So this Halloween i went up to forest gale heights to trick-or-treat with Rachel, Autumn, Chloe, Hannah, Elise, Lily, Emilee, Jacob, and Adam. It was awesome! Aot of the people in forest gale heights gave out the big candy bars!(not the minis!) It sucked though cause Rachel was sick so she couldn't go with us.(sorry Rachel! we missed you!) Then after we went around the neighborhood we went back to Rachel's house and got cupcakes. Then Emilee, Jacob and Adam came back to our neighborhood with me and Tayler (and out chauffeur, our mom.) We then went around our neighborhood! It was awesome because one of the houses gave out a bag of chips, a big handful of candy and a toy!(kinda reminds me of the kids meal at McDonald's!) At one of the houses the dude told me and Emilee that that was the biggest load(of candy) that he's seen all night! Over all I had an awesome night!!! =)

p.s. I was a football fan! i carried around my teddy bear(who was the player i was a fan of) and he had a little football helmet on.

p.s.s. I also saw Karimi and Murimi while i was up in Rachel's neighborhood!

Dance

Last Thursday we had a tri-ward dance! It was alot of fun! First we learned how to 'cha-cha'. Then the girls lined up against the wall and the boys against the other wall. Then the dance instructor person gave the boys a pep talk to ask us to dance. The boys then came to ask us to dance. Ammon asked me to dance first. Let me tell you it was kinda awkward! He's also really tall so that made it a little difficult to dance with him!:) Then we switched partners and I ended up with Jacob(Emilee's brother) and we learned how to swing dance! Me and Jacob didn't really know haow to do it so we were just doing to basic stuff and laughing because everyone else was doing to complicated stuff. Over all it was a really fun night and at the end of the night my cheek bones hurt from smiling and laughing so much! I can't wait to do this again or go to the stake dances! The bad thing is I have to wait till I'm 14 till I can go to the stake dances, i can't wait!

Song

This is another good song by Taylor Swift I think it's my new favorite! Oh and the music video is really good! So here it is:

Your on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
she's goin off about something that you said
'cause she doesn't get your humor like i do

I'm in my room, it's a typical tuesday night
i'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
and she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, i wear t-shirts
she's Cheer Captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
that what your looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that i'm the one who understands you
been here all along, so why can't you see?
you, you belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn out jeans
i can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
laughing on the park bench, thinking to my self
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
you say your fine, i know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, i wear sneakers
she's Cheer Captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
that what your looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that i'm the one who understands you
been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by here and waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know
baby, you belong with me, you bleong with me

Oh i remeber you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know your bout to cry
and i know your favorite songs and you tell me bout your dreams
think i know where you belong, think i know that it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
been here all along, you why can't you see?
you belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
all this time, how could you not know
baby,you belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me
have you ever thought just maybe?
you belong with me
you belong with me

So now that I've gotten into the swing of things everything is great! I love going to school and not just hangin' round the house doing nothing. The school is still confusing but since I'm on a schedule, I have the same classes everyday so I know where they all are now. I don't like homework though. That is probably one of the only things I hate about school. Especially now that I have 7 classes!

This is the perfect picture to show what I mean!

I should post a map of the school on here so you guys can see what I mean. I'm sure you guys understand how confusing it is but I want you guys to actually see a map 'cause then you will completely understand.

Oh and thank goodness for lockers! They are AMAZING! This is basically what our lockers look like except we have combination locks and there is no handle. After you do your combo you push in and turn till it tightens and then pull out. It's pretty annoying sometimes, especially when you have sweaty hands cause then you can't get a good enough grip on it. So lockers are not feared any more they are my friend!

school

I start 7th grade on Thursday, and I am soo ready! I have all of my school shopping done(for now!). I have practiced opening locks getting ready for my locker.I know what I'm going to wear on the first day. I have my binder all set up except for one thing. What else is there to do? I'm sooo ready to get out of my house because I have run out of ideas to keep myself entertained. I have my locker buddy set in mind. This is going to be my first year of 7 periods(I'm used to just a homeroom). Also my first year of a locker. Oh and NO RECESS! I didn't really like recess. All last year I spent recess in the library because there is NOTHING for me to do outside on the playground. I went outside on the few days that it was sunny and warm and talked with Karimi or just walked around with her. So I can't say I'm going to miss recess. I'm pretty nervous about school though. When I get the same response, "Oh your going to be fine." or "After the first week your going to be wondering why you were nervous at all!" or "Your going to love it there, there's nothing to be worried about." I think that's all the ones she's said to me. This happens every year when I get a new school because I'm moving up. I'm sure it will be the same when I go into High School. But other than being nervous, I'm really,really excited!!

Pictures

Here they are, the pictures I promised.

This is the craft it forward gift I received. My Aunt Heidi made the necklace and the bracelet for me. Really cute huh!

This is Brooke's apron. There are cakes on it because it's probably going to get to her around her birthday.

Just a close up on a cake


This is Halley's apron. I don't know if she like grapes and purple at all, but there was a limited towel section so yeah. A close up on the button's that are at the top of the apron

A better picture of the cluster of grapes at the bottom


This is Rachel's apron. This was the first one I did.

The sunflower.

The buttons on the top of this one are flowers!=)

I hope you guys will like the aprons that I made for you! I'll get them to you as soon as I can.

Craft it Forward!

I just barley finished making my craft it forward gifts! Boy let me tell you it took ALOT of work! But I think they are very cute and I hope that Halley,Rachel K. and Brooke like them. I made aprons for them. They are made out of 2 dish towels each. I will post pictures later.

As for the gift i got for craft it forward, i will post pictures of that later also!=)

School shopping!

Yesterday we went school shopping clothes edition! But before we did that we had to go to this place to get our car fixed. It took 3 hours!!! It felt like way longer though. Then we went to game stop to get Tayler a late birthday gift, he was there to pick it out though so it wasn't a surprise. Then we went to Wal*Mart. I didn't get anything at Wal*Mart because I didn't see anything that I liked. So then we went to JcPenny. I found everything there! The sucky part was that I'm an extra small and alot of the shirts didn't have any. But I still found alot! There was a really big sale going on, buy 1 get 1 for 1 dollar. Even with the Jackets, so it was pretty awesome. Today we are going to Freddies to get shoes! Yeah for school shopping!=)

I'm back from Utah!

After we went camping with Uncle Russ,Aunt Jenni,Krissie, Katie,Daniel,Cody,Kellie and Kara and Aunt Judy, me and Tayler went to Nevada with them while Aunt Judy stayed to help move. We were in Nevada for a week having tons of fun! Then Krissie and Katie drove us to G&G's house. We went to Lagoon and then the cabin. At the cabin, we did rope climbing, karaoke,the swing and movies! It was alot of fun. Trevor, my cousin, broke his ankle the first day rock climbing. Then at the end of the week I found out that my cousin Ty died. So we went to Delta for church on Sunday. Then we hung out with family for a while until the viewing. Then of course we went to the viewing. Then on Monday we went to the funeral. It was really really sad.

Dad said that in a couple of months we might go back to Delta to hang out with them! I'm excited 'cause hanging out with Akayleigha is really fun! Well hanging out with all of them is fun but Akayleigha is my age so it's funner to hang out with her.

I will post pictures sometime soon!

Camping

We are going to be going camping with my Uncle Russ,Aunt Jenni, Aunt Judy, Krissie, Katie and her boyfriend, Cody, Kellie and Kara! I can't wait! We are going to be going to a state park called Cape Lookout! My mom told me that it's really close to the beach. Hopefully it's going to be warm and not cold. They are going to get here tomorrow evening, I think, and then we are going to go camping Tuesday-Friday. I'm really really excited, cause I love camping , AND I haven't seen my cousins for a really long time!

Me in line for breakfast.

Allison and Hillary

okay so now we're on our six mile hike. this is only the beginning!

Oh I forgot to mention there was a part in this hike we had to hold on to a rope because it was narrow(only wide enough for 1 person) and there was a big drop off through out the hike. It was really pretty though!=)

This was at the end of our hike. We got water guns and then this nice FREEZING river to play in. The water felt really good though!

My mom took a picture of me while I was eating!=)

Isn't it beautiful? It was called the Punch Bowl. AMAZING!!!

Jackie with her water gun!
This was a part we had to cross a stream. People said they thought the round stepping stones look like cookies. I think so too!

Cassidy again. Cassidy and I became really good friends! She is really nice!



This is CassiDee.The other one. She was nice to, she was a second year though I think.

Sister Couch did my hair on Thursday so I just left it in till we got home on Friday and then I took it out when I took a shower. It looks pretty cool though.

Those are all the pictures I took. Girls Camp RULES!!!!!
