Young Womens

This year I am turning 12.

Last night was our tithing settlement. The bishop asked me, my mom, and my dad what our personal goals were for '09. My goal was to keep all A's.

He also asked us (like every other bishop would) if we had payed a full tithe. I said I had.

He also asked me when I would be going to Young Womens. I said this year.

He was amazed to find out that I had all A's, had payed a full tithe, and I was going to Young Womens soon. I don't really understand what was so exciting about all this, but atleast he was happy!

Christmas Is Here!!!

Christmas is ALREADY here! I can not believe it came so fast. It's like I have been asleep for months, not aware of the time flying past me.

Anyway, for Christmas (from Santa), I got a video camera/camera/MP3 player, 2 shirts for school, 2 CD's (one is David Archuleta, the other is some religious songs), candy, a pack of chap-stick, an I SPY puzzle (only 63 pieces; easy), some erasers, a new straightener, a locket that came with locket earrings, and some pajamas.

This is what I got from my family...

Ella: High School Musical crayons (Yippee!)

Josh: A Tootsie Roll piggy-bank with Tootsies in it

Mom+Dad: The movie, "Prince Caspian"

Grandma+Grandpa: A very short and fat red scarf w/ a very big purple hat

Aunt+Uncle: The book, "A Christmas Carol"

Gifts! (that don't cost money!)

I have decided that I need to write more posts. I know not many people come to look at my blog but I know that the ones who do are always waiting for something new. I haven't written in about nineteen days! I need something new.

Christmas is in four days.

I have decided what I am getting my family for Christmas. (MOM DO NOT READ ANY FARTHER!!!!!!! DAD YOU TOO!!!!!!!) The kids are all getting some time with me. Mom and Dad are getting something I am going to do for them.

For Isaac I am going to spend an hour playing with and spoiling him.

For Ella I am going to let her sleep with me for 2 days straight.

For Josh I am going to let him wear any of my pajamas for 1 week.

For Mom I am going to prepare dinner for the family for 2 days.

For Dad I am going to do everything he says for 1 day-I mean EVERYTHING-and see if he notices a difference.

They all get to choose when I do this for them. I hope they all like their gifts!

MOM YOU CAN READ NOW! ONLY BELOW THIS!

Tell me what you are all getting each other! I want to know! No, you don't have to say what you are getting me! he he!

And The Season is Finally Here!

Tis the season to to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la! Tis the season to decorate your house, fa la la la la la la la la! Our family has finally gotten out the merry christmas decorations and put up the (3) trees! Here's what is looks like so far:

The second tree is our family tree and the last tree is our kid's tree with all of our ornaments we made on it. I think our christmas decoration mission is acomplished? What do you think?

Another Piece of Goodness

I have had a request to tell another funny story. OK, here how it goes.

Our family was watching Dancing with the Stars one Saturday night, and my mom was giving me a lesson on how the ladies were technically naked and how we don't ever dress like them.
****
I was in Sunbeams and told my teacher everything. So when it was time to go there for sunbeams, I told my teacher all about last night.
****
When my mom came back to pick me up after her class was over, my teacher walked up to her and said:
"Madison told me you guys were watching naked ladies dancing on TV."
Fortunately, the BISHOP'S WIFE was my mom's friend and knew to ask before she believed what I said. :)

Funny Stories

OK, Mom and Ella walk into a shoe store. Ella walks right up to these "BEAUTIFUL" pink boots.



Ella-"MOM, I was BORN to wear these SHOES!"



How Ella learned talk like this I do not know, but really, whoever did, MAN, they are busted! Just Kidding!
*


A neighbor is baby-sitting Ella and Josh. Ella had just taken a nap and was being very cute and cuddly. Our neighbor was holding Ella.



Neighbor-"Ella you're so pretty!"



Just then Josh walks up to her and sais:


Josh-"She has brains too!" =D

*

Ella was 4 years old when this happened. One day Ella came downstairs and sat on the floor vent to warm up. A few minutes later Ella comes up to mom and sais:

Ella-"Mom, feel me, I'm smokin' hot!" =D

*

Dad was puuting Josh to bed. Josh was about 2. Dad gave Josh and kiss, pulled up the blanket, and said good-night. As he was leaving Josh sat up.

Josh-"Cookie?"

Dad-"No Josh, go to sleep."

A second passed, as Josh got a very queer look on his face, and sweetly smiled.

Josh-"Birthday cake?"

Dad couldn't control his laughter. They laughed together until dad could finally pull himself together and say good-night.

Those were a bunch of funny stories told in our family, I hope you liked them!

Family Pictures

This week we had our family picures taken at a graveyard. Ya, I know, it's a pretty spooky place, but my mom thought it was pretty, so we had them done there. Anyway, enough of my yapping, here's the pictures.

Halloween is here

This Saturday is our ward's Trunk or Treat. And I still haven't figured out what I am going to be. Any ideas? And fast please!

Brace Face and Metal Mouth

Today was my big day, I got braces!
My appointment was a 9:00AM, so I had to hurry. First I got up and got ready, then went to the building they work at. Then I got to choose the color braces I want. I got light pink color. Then, my favorite part, I got to go with my mom to get a milkshake. Then right after I had to go to school, because I couldn't convince my mom to let me stay home and watch the wonderous T.V! I am not happy.

What to be...

I have been thinking ahead of today. What do I want to be? I have given it some thought, and.... I can't think of anything. Maybe a doctor, a dentist, or a lawyer? I know I still have alot of time to think it over, and I mean ALOT of time, but I like being ahead of the game, or in other words, knowing before anyone else knows. What do I look like to you? A teacher, an engineer? What do I look like to you? What's your opinion?

THE CUTEST EVER!

I am so lucky to have a little brother named Isaac. He is the cutest little baby ever.

Don't you think?

Oh no!

Ok, tomorrow I get my cholesterol checked. So far, Ella has had 200 something, same with Josh. So I have to have mine checked so that we know if I have to go on medication. I hope not. Well we will just see. Wish me luck!!!!!!!

School Started

OH NO!! School. Oh well. I miss 5Th grade where there were no lockers, and no breaks, and a homeroom. It is hard in Middle School. I am going to have to survive it. Just wish me luck! <3

3 days

Three more days until cousins FINALLY come. I am so excited. So I am going to be counting down the days for new blogs. (this picture has nothing whatsoever to do with anything.)

Dialoge

Ok, Ella and Dad are in the car and dad says, "Ella would you like to go somewhere special with me?"
"What?"
"No, just tell me if you would like to go somewhere."
"What??"
"No, Ella, just say yes or no!"
"What???"
"Ugh! Like the park,"
"YES!"
"On a walk?"
"YES!!"
"Playground?"
"YES!!!"
I mean come on Ella, if you are going to say yes to everything, then what is the point of asking what?

Twilight

So I just finished Twilight and am on New Moon(the second book of the series). Twilight is an amazing book and I recommend it to ANYONE who likes adventure. Don't worry, its not boring.
I think this has been the best book I have read ever. READ IT!

Dance Class

So I started a dance class. In the classes we learn about African culture. Culture as in their art, dance, etc. It started Monday, and ends Friday, and is 4 hours a day. We have had lots of fun. Our teacher studies African culture and is VERY good at dancing!

We have learned many dances, but my favorite has got to be the traveling dance. It has many, many different moves in it. I have become an expert. (Atleast I think.)

I've had alot of fun and am excited for tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Dental Care

Do you see my CRAZY teeth? Ya, well I am going to get braces in 12 days. The orthodontist said my teeth were not growing in straight, and that there was not enough room in my top pallet. So first I had to get spacers, which are little blue rubber-bands that go between your back teeth. Second, I got an expander, which expands your top pallet. That will hopefully make room for some teeth to grow in. Then I will get braces. You know what those are for.
( the picture is nothing about graduating from 5th grade, it just shows my teeth )

Isaac,

and more isaac,

and even more isaac!

Well, that's all for now folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOH-LA-LA!!!!!

Ok, so I just got fake nails! And you know how fake nails are "the big thing" this year.

My aunt and uncle came and took us to the mall. My mom said we each had $10.oo to spend. I tried to save my money for claires. We went and I found this thing that shines up your nails for $2.oo! Then I found the fake nails for $4.oo. I had $4.oo left to spend. I was looking around and I found really cute earrings for $3.oo. They are blue frogs that are smiling, and they are REALLY shiny! My earrings are dangly earrings. So, now I am all set for the summer!!!! Hopefully!

Oh ya, and we went to GATTITOWN!

Best of Friends

This is me and Sami. Sami is my BESTEST, BESTEST friend ever. Although we have known each other for only 3 yrs, we couldn't get better friends than we are now. 3 years ago, we both lived in Utah, and played almost EVERY day! But after 2 yrs, things happened. Sami's Paka got cancer. My dad found a better job in KY. My dad didn't like his job in Utah. Him and Mom decided to move. We moved. Sami's family was miserable. They moved to Texas to be with their Paka. He died. Everything was going the wrong way until last Spring Break. MY FAMILY WENT TO VISIT THEM IN TEXAS!!!!! We did everything we could in 5 days. Our hearts were broken when we left. Well, at least we left some good memories!
