WE HAD A BLAST. Two days after it snowed we were again wearing shorts. Well thats Southeast Texas for ya.

WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON!!

Well I haven't updated in like 4-ever!! We have been so busy. First of all Adam was sick with the croup and after he recovered he broke out in hives and had a fever while Tamra was still recovering from the croup that she caught from him. My mom has also been decorating Tamra and Emma's new room. BABY EMMA IS DUE MONDAY!!! I am so excited! I can't wait to have a new baby sister! Also Jonathan, my cousin, is living with us now! Everything has been going on at our house!!!


School has been so much fun. I now actually enjoy math! I also just started going to brig practice again because of basketball season. We were put into groups and so now we have to make a dance by ourselves!! It is harder than it sounds I'll tell you that! Not even a little help from the grown ups! Thanks to that we fight amongst ourselves all the time!! I hope basketball season goes by quickly. Well that is about all that has been going on these past few weeks. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!!!!!

Halloween Party!!!!!

Waiting in line for haunted house.




Adam in his mummy costume.




Little Jasper as a Banana!



We had the cooliest Halloween party EVER!!! We had dancing,a haunted house, a cupcake walk, and tons of junk food to snack on!!!! It was a blast!

Hiedi is Gone....

My turtle ran away the other day and I am soooooooooooo sad. She was the cutest turtle in the world. Poor Hiedi. I hope she is ok. I put her in an outside pen and she climbed out while I was at school. tear*tear*tear*. :(

FIRST FOOTBALL GAME!!!!!!

Last night I went to my first football game as a brig. It was so much fun doing hand motions with the band and dancing in the field. I went down in my split for the first time ever. When I got home from the game I tried to split again and I could not do it (MAN!!). I really thought I had it. Other than that I had the best time ever!!! I will be sad when football season ends. Thanks for listening!! :)

HURRRICATION!!!

The last few weeks I haven't been able to update my blog because of the hurricanes and Adam spilled water on the keyboard so I could not log in so we just bought a new one so now I am able to get on!!! Any who. . . We just went through hurricane Ike and we got to visit our Aunt Ashna and Uncle Chad. We had so much fun staying at there house. They live 30 minutes away from where we used to live so we got to make a surprise visit to some of our old friends. They were so happy to see us. I am so glad we were able to see everyone. When we got home we thankfully had no damage. We had a few trees fall but none on our house. I am so glad that me and my family are safe. Well that is about all that has been going on the last few weeks. My prayers go out to those who have gotten damage or who are now homeless because of the storm.

JOSEPH IS 8!!!

Joseph just turned 8 the other day. He had his baptism cancelled because of the hurricane GUSTAV. It is now rescheduled and he is ready to get baptized. Three cheers for Joseph!

SCHOOL IS BACK!!!!!

Summer is gone and it is back to school. I am just started going to Junior High. I am in brigs, band, and spanish (I also have normal subjects). I am having so much fun at VJHS! The middle school was like a prison! VJHS you have so much freedom! But with that it comes with a lot of responsibility. It is actually very easy. Today I had my first after school brig practice. The gym was filled with us brigs, cheerleaders, and football players. The competition with us brigs and cheerleaders is very bad. We feel like we have to be better than each other all the time. I guess it has always been that way. I am so excited to go through the rest of this year with all my friends. Thanks for listening!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BELLA IS BACK!!!!!!!! Our neighbor found her and brought her home the other day. She was found at some ladies house a few streets away. She was missing for over a month and we are so thankful to have her back! Thanks for listening.

Baking Cookies

This is my favorite thing to do! I love baking cookies for my family and other people. Everyone loves them. It is so much fun!

Surviving another Hurricane

Two days ago we got news that there was going to be a hurricane that night. My mom went to the store to get a lot of supplies in case it was bad. That night it seemed like a normal rainstorm. That morning we went to see the damage (if any). The only thing that was ruined was my dad's garden (sorry dad). At least it had nothing to do with our house. WE HAVE SURVIVED OUR SECOND HURRICANE!!!

FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally finished the WHOLE book of mormon for the first time eva! I am so proud of my self!!!!!! I finished my goal! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! :):):):):):):):):)

COME HOME BELLA!

Our little Bella ran off and hasn't come home. We aren't the only ones that have lost a dog (the Johnsons). I hope someone just picked her off the street and took her home. She was a sweet puppy so I write the post in the memory of her. I hope nothing bad happened to her. Thanks for listening to this sad, sad, sad post.

Brig Camp!

Today was the last day of Brig Camp! I'm so happy!Camp was only during the day but it was from 7:45 am to 4:00 pm except for today because we went home after the performance at 11:00 am! I was sore the first few days but not now. I am so going to sleep in! I am so tired of waking up at 6:15am to get ready to leave. We had to learn 6 HARD dances in three days. Today we performed and we did a horrible job. Nobody really seemed to care because the audience was only family and they knew we didn't have a lot of time to practice. We were laughing so hard during the first dance because we forgot all of the kicks and we made up our own moves. LOL! Oh well at least it's over :). Thanks for listening.

Playing in the rain!

My aunt Tamra came to visit us and she brought her kids. We had a lot of fun. Here are some pics of us playing in the rain.

Bubble Bath

Aren't they so cute?

WE WENT TO THE BEACH!

We went to Galveston with the my Dad's family. We stayed in a beach house with all my cousins. We had a BLAST! Here are some pics that were taken at the beach. I also took a pic of a hermit crab I found in the water. I named him Hermit. Anyways, we did a lot of boogie boarding out there. After boogie boarding I came out with a cut toe (pretty deep) from a broken shell and I had soar arms! I still enjoy going though and I loved hanging out with the family. I can't wait until next year!

GIRLS CAMP!

Here are some pics I took from girls camp. The water slide you see was my favorite. It was the best water slide ever! There was another slide but it was boring so I didn't post the picture of it. Anyways, the first picture you see is one of the door to our cabin. We had the coolest cabin. We had streamers and balloons everywhere and we even had some third years come to our cabin and we had our own little dance party. We stayed up so late! My parents would never let me do that at home. I LOVE CAMP!!!!! I am so going back next year!

no makeup :(

I have had pink eye for a week so far and it is not fun. My dad probably enjoys the no makeup for 2 or 3 weeks. I hate not wearing makeup but I guess it's not the worst thing in the world but I have been feeling like a wreck waking up with my eyes glued shut full of green gunk. Yeah I said it, EYES. It's in both of my eyes and its viral. I have had it for 7 days and I am stuck at home doing nothing until Wednesday. On Wednesday I am going to Galveston with the Harris'.
We did it last summer and it was a blast. I will post on how it went. All I know is that it won't be as good as last year because of these darn eyeballs of mine. It will be hard but I WILL SURVIVE!

Water slide!

Boomchikalakalaka!

I made this video of Tamra trying to say "Boomchikalakalaka"! It is so funny. ENJOY!

Look what I found!

That is what I call a puppy face.


PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!

Cute? You decide.

Sweet dreams little princess.
I found these pics on the internet and I thought I should share.
