My Birthday and how it turned out THIS year...

Ok! Here we are again and I am so sorry that this is not on a Tuesday Meagan! Anyways I turned 13 last Tuesday and it was a great birthday! Monday Mom and I shopped for stuff and I babysat. I went and got some Mickey Mouse earrings that are so cute! And a Minnie Mouse shirt! All for my party! We got some other stuff to finish for Mom's errands and so I was basically gone all day! Monday night I made a sign for me and a sign for Dad since it's his birthday too.

It's pretty cool and took me awhile. You see, all of his kids (and Mom) and grandkids are holding the sign up and on top of the sign is Dad...sleeping. I'm really proud of myself and I really like the balloons! So yeah I know I'm pretty skilled like that! That night I went to bed around 11:40pm I was too tired to stay up till midnight AND Mom said to not stay up till midnight so I was really close but didn't. I woke up not by anybody by myself completely awake at 7:30am! Uh ok brain you wake up early on only holidays? Ok...Then I watched T.V and then fell asleep again. Mom came in my room and woke me up around 9...I think...Then I showered. And helped Thom set the volleyball net up for my party at 11am. I hung up my sign on the outside of the garage and it said, "Happy Birthday Madee, Party out Back!" and it was covered in a bunch of Mickey Mouses since my party was a Mickey and Minnie Mouse party! Half the time though, the people who came to my party just went to the door instead of in the backyard! Uh ok people I guess you don't know how to read! Whatever. Then I opened presents. I got 2 from Mom and Dad even though Mom said I was only getting one! The first present I opened was the one that Mom told me was mine! Which was in an envelope so I was thinking that it was like a gift card or something! Nope. Inside the birthday card was a receipt for a play called, "The Adam's family home evening" Mom said that it is a comedy and we are going to see it tomorrow (aka Saturday, June 30, 2012) then Mom gave me a smaller item that was an iPod touch! It's the 4th generation which is the most recent generation and it is so light! Much lighter then my old iPod touch that was slowly breaking...just like my old computer. It's white too! And there is a camera on it! It is so awesome! And I was playing with it all day! I am still playing with it all day. At 11 people started coming for my party! As soon as they came we had them start on their neckless and when everyone got there we started grilling the hot dogs. And yes since this was a Mickey Mouse party we had hot dogs because on Mickey Mouse club house at the end of each episode they sing, "Hot dog, Hot dog, Hot diggidy dog..." and it says those same words for the whole song.

I invited 13 people and 11 of them came! After we put Mosh Posh on top of the neckless, we had to let it dry so we played volleyball. Well some did. Others jumped on the tramp of just talked or squirted people with squirt guns. Then we had cake.

Thanks to Meagan for making me a wonderful cake and yes that cake is...well was homemade! It turned out delicious and Mitch helped me blow out the candles!

I actually think we opened presents first...oops well Mitch helped me open them too!

Oh and that hat on my head? Mitch made it for me! It's covered in Mickey and Minnie Mouse stickers and once I took it off and Mitch told me to put it back on not quite yelling at me but he sure sounded angry so I kept it on for the rest of the night. It's a pretty stylish hat.

I think everyone had fun at the party! Mitch and Ali sure did!!  I got a lot of presents!! One of my friends gave me 2 giant coloring books with 2 regular sized coloring books and markers and colored pencils AND a Mickey Mouse Pez container and a bunch of Pez candy! Another person forgot that the party was today and came in the middle of it with a homemade card and 10 dollars! Another person got me a T-shirt and 15 dollars. Another person got me a fancy scarf. One person went all the way down to City Creek and got me a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and a Mickey Mouse water bottle and a Mickey Mouse bag. Another person made me a pencil holder out of clay, painted it half black, half red and on the red were two yellow dots (like Mickey's pants). That same person also got me a Disney Mickey Mouse pin. One person got me a TON of candy and a Mickey Mouse puzzle. Meagan got me a jar with Mickey Mouse stickers on it and it was filled with black, then white, then black, then red, then black, then yellow m&ms. She also gave me a fat pen and Mitch gave me that hat. One person  gave me 2 bracelets. Grandma and Papa gave me a musical card. Another person gave me lotion and hand sanitizer. One person gave me a nail kit (like nail clippers and nail filers, etc.) she also gave me a pen and a bracelet and sticky notes and some cards with envelopes. Thomas got me a giant Yoshi figurine and a journal. Thom knew that I wanted the Yoshi figurine but he said that he got me the journal because he thought it looked nice. Haha ok Thom thanks! Emma got me an owl wallet which is so cute! And...I think that's it! Well for presents at least. After cake we all played outside until everyone left. It was really fun. Oh and grandma decided to come crash my party! ;) It was fun!

         At 2 was when the party ended and Tracy Dad took me and Emma to the water park 7 peaks at 4pm well first he took us to dinner at Cafe Rio then we went to 7 peaks till it closed at 8pm then we went to Meagan's house to get some stuff of Emma's. Well before we went to Meagan's house we went to iceberg and got ice-cream and we were home around 11. Happy Birthday to me it was so fun!

Oh and P.S, that one paragraph is bolded or underlined or whatever because well I don't know on here it says it's underlined but on the preview it looks bolded so don't worry it's not for any apparent reason. And I tried to take it off or make it so it looked normal but it won't so yeah :) 

What's been um...going on

    So I haven't wrote in here for a while which you probably already know. I didn't plan to write in it for a while either. But, Mom is wanting me to write in this and so here I am writing it out. Last time I wrote was Christmas...yeah...it has been a loooong time.

    Spring Break happened and I did fun things everyday! Monday we had Grandma's easter egg hunt and the candy was gone shortly after. Tuesday Mom took Emma and I down to City Creek. We shopped and shopped and shopped until...we found the Disney store! I was so excited! Then....my dreams were crushed! Just kidding it wasn't THAT dramatic. It just was full of all these little kids toys and SMALL pajamas and SMALL swimsuits. It was so sad. My life soon turned happy though because we found the game store! Wow. That was all I could say. There were probably hundreds of games and toys!! I found so many wonderful things that I fell in love with. Then Mom found these things called Bucky Balls. Bucky Balls are small magnet balls that stick together. They are so addicting to play with (witness: Tara)!!! Emma later found Jenga and so I bought that too. And what I found? Silly Putty. Which Mom said I couldn't buy even though I was buying it with my own money! (Later I got Silly Putty in my Easter Basket.)

    After City Creek Mom dropped me off at Tara's house. We played and played and played all day long! At night I slept in Lily's room...on the floor. Not like there is anything wrong with that but it wasn't that comfortable. And I went to bed at 8 which isn't what I'm quite used to...it's usually 11 or 11:30. I woke up in the middle of the night around 1 am, and I had a pounding headache which made me stay up until around 3 am. I didn't want to walk over to Tara's bedroom because...well...that would be awkward. So I called Tara. I could HERE her phone ringing yet she didn't. So I went to bed and slept well for the rest of that night. Morning came and we played some more and had loads and loads of fun!!

    Then we decided to do a craft. We made these things called Boogie Monsters. They are little pipe cleaner Monsters that look like they are dancing! Mine was blue, Lily's was orange, Jackson's was green, and Tara's was red. They were so so cute and a lot of fun to make. We then decided to hide them around the house to see what Tim would say when he got home.

I hid mine on a shelf sort of thing above the door...so did Jackson.

  Lily hid her Boogie Monster on the stairs.

  Tara hid her Boogie Monster on a shelf by the candles.

    It was really funny walking around that house where almost wherever you looked there would be a Boogie Monster. After that we played games outside and inside, we danced and tickled and laughed and had so much fun!!!

   Until I decided to play the piano. I was trying to remember one of the songs I was going to play at my next recital (which turned out great) and I didn't quite have it memorized at the time so I did as much as I could. I gave up I couldn't remember parts of so I start playing that chopstick version of Heart and Soul. It's a really catchy tune and soon Lily came in. She told how she had always wanted to play that song on the piano, so I thought that I could teach her! (It IS a really easy song to play) and she practiced the whole night and was so excited to play it in front of her Dad.

                                                             Afterwards, Beth tried.


   So we had such a good time playing after all! It is so cute watching Lily and Beth play the piano and Jackson run around saying, "I'm going to work...come and catch and me!!" I love these kiddos so much!

   I come into the kitchen after I finish playing the piano and find Lily writing squiggles down a piece of paper. I look at her and than say, "Lily what are doing?" She than tells me that she is writing down what she has to do everyday.  She told me that everyday she has to brush her teeth, get dressed, play with Beth...than she let out a HUGE sigh and said, "It's VERY exhausting!" As she turns the paper over and it's completely filled with squiggles and dots.

   Beth is another whole cute story. She laughs and the strangest times and is nothing more than smiles and joy. Although she cries and begs, she is such a doll! Anybody that is with Beth for more than one second, can understand that she is so cute and happy...unless it's her bed time. Silly silly little things that silly little girl does.





   Lily, Jackson, and Beth what a load of fun to be with overnight. They all have done some cheeky things here and there but so have I so...it's okay. That was the main highlight of my week they are so darling and so cute to be with. Tara, I love your kids!! (don't worry I love you too)

   Now that is really all the pictures I have because after I was at Tara's house my camera died and I just barely recharged it! So just use your imagination for the rest of my week. I stayed at Tara's house until Wednesday night at 6:30pm. So than Thursday I babysat and Friday I babysat oh and Saturday I babysat some more. Yes I HAD a lot of money now I only have 45 dollars just joking that's a lot compared to negative 5 but I used to have 80 dollars. Okay now I am just bragging. Any who, Spring break was a lot of fun and I really liked it. Oh! Also, Saturday before I babysat Mom had her easter egg hunt and Amy helped Emma and I hide the eggs little did she know that the oldest was 3. No worries we found them eventually. Well that's all for now! I will write again probably in another um 6 weeks (you know the usual.)

Christmas and some other stuff....

Well Christmas finally came! And it sure was a great a Christmas. Mom's (most likely) favorite present was a camera with big lenses which was funny to watch her face when she opened it. Dad however I am not quite sure what his favorite thing was....he got a lot of random things that he would like, like a itouch, tub aware, and a bucket! Emma got the kindle fire which is basically a ipad that is from a different company. Thom....not sure about him either (maybe it's just the men) he got things and I don't know what most of them are called so...I don't know but he said that he had a good Christmas. Now for me....except I am going to tell EVERYTHING that I got:

1. a camera! A pink one and it takes SO great and clear pictures and I love it.
2. a record player. And it sounds so clear and I started to go through the old boxes of records in the garage.
3. legos...Harry Potter legos!! I got the bus (that's in the 3 harry potter) and I made it all in one day.
4. 2 yo-yos with a "How to do Easy Tricks with you're Yo-yos" book. I think I'm getting the hang of it.
5. a how to make puppets kit. Which I tried it on babysitting and the craft glue DOES NOT WORK!!! Oh well I guess I will hot glue it.
6. a bunch of little Angry Bird key chains! And I am running out of places to put them.
7. a Minnie Mouse watch!! (now I have a Mickey AND a Minnie Mouse watch)
8. Mickey and Minnie Mouse pajamas. I am so happy that I got them and I wear them almost every night.
9. a 2012 calender where you put stickers on it (removable stickers actually) 
10. a book called Little Women. Which is supposed to be a really good book so I'm excited!
11. a little homemade doll which doesn't look homemade. (that's how cute it is)
12. a Sunday outfit. (includes white tights, a white sweater, a skirt with flowers on it, a blue tank top, a white headband.)
13. some lip gloss and mascara. Even though I STILL haven't ran out of my mascara that I got from June.
14. Amy drew my name for Christmas and she got me a ukulele!! But one string on it broke (it won't tune) so I have to take it back and I am not going to get it for another 2 weeks!!!! 
15. Amy also gave me (for some reason) a headband (the knitted ones that look like hats) it's hot pink with a flower on it.
16. Dane gave me a stand for my ukulele...but sense I won't have my ukulele for another 2 weeks it's a empty stand sitting next to my (Thom's) guitar in my room.
17. Grandma and Papa gave me a book called, "My Garden" and it is such a cute book. They also gave me a charm and it's a light house.
18. some homemade slippers that are hot pink. They are so comfy!!
19. my friend got me a Mickey Mouse notebook and a bunch of Mickey mini candy canes.

So to me that was a GREAT Christmas!! I love my camera (welcome back pictures on my blog). My record player is soooo cool it even can go to the radio! I want to start collecting legos now because that was so fun building that and it looks so cool!! I love my slippers, I wear them almost anywhere!! I even wore them babysitting....I just put them in my bag then when I got there I put them on! My Wooden Yo-Yo is my favorite because....I don't know it just seems easier to do tricks with. I can't wait to see my puppet finished! Once I HOT GLUE it not craft glue it. Angry Bird key chains are so cute, I put 2 on my lanyard and one on my camera lanyard. I wear my Minnie Mouse watch everyday!! So far I have been wearing my Minnie and Mickey Mouse pajamas every night too. I already put on stickers for January and February on my calender (well Emma did February.) Once I finish reading my book(s) I will read Little Women (hopefully that will be soon.) My homemade doll sits on my bookshelf along with my sock monkey that Emma got me for my birthday and my homemade bunny (that also doesn't look homemade) that I got for Easter. My Sunday outfit is so cute! The skirt is a little big but I absolutely LOVE it!! I am glad that I got mascara because I will most likely run out of my other one soon. I wish that 2 weeks will go by fast because I NEED my ukulele!! My headband is cute too it looks good with my sweater. My stand is so empty and I sure wish Thomas would just give me his mandolin so I can put it on my stand (my stand is for ukuleles and mandolins.)

Thom started teaching me how to play the guitar. That's why his guitar is in my room (so I can practice) But his guitar is so big and some chords are hard to play on it but I guess I can try! Hopefully I will be as good as mom when I'm her age! Well that's how life is! (lets hope I will type in this more often.)

Christmas is in...

28 days (till Christmas if you didn't read my title of this blog post.) I am quite excited. I have a mini Christmas tree which is my first year to use it. I got it last year (when dad got it for me) but that was AFTER Christmas so I couldn't put it up. My mini Christmas tree is really short (24 inches tall) but not that small but Emma likes to call it "bite size" read with white lights and silver ornaments. Each year I plan to get a new ornament to put on it. This year mom gave me a little angle that is a ornament but I use it to be a angle on top of my tree. Then I have a candy cane (a fake one) and a snowman ornament. Then Dad put lights around my window. Crafts have been starting too. I made a paper count down which is how I knew that it is 28 days till Christmas. I really want a camera for Christmas though (well I want AND need) and I REALLY need a computer (which I want too.) But honestly!! My computer is slowly breaking! It is soooo slow at ANYTHING! It has a green line in the screen and won't go away with anything! If I'm watching a movie, on the internet, or whatever I am on, on my computer! I guess I should be thankful that I at least HAVE a computer. I really just want to get mom's computer so they don't have to buy one, but the only way is if mom gets a new computer so I am trying to convince dad with all my heart!! Lego's look cool too. But those are 150 dollars (well the ones I want) and so mom said that I either get the 150 legos or a camera and you might think that I will go for the camera but I'm honestly stuck! And for Thanksgiving we made a peanut butter pie with a peanut chocolate crust and we got 2 place!!! That is the highest we ever had gotten!! Next year we will get even higher and get 1 place!!! I was full Thanksgiving day and barely hungry the next day yet we had left overs which made me not hungry again! It was very delicious although. We made a ton of pies before thanksgiving and they haven't even been all eaten yet (shocking I know) in fact mom said that they might go bad so I have been eating a ton!! Because I would hate to waist such good pie!! I can't wait for Christmas though I love going upstairs and seeing the colorful Christmas tree (well colorful because of all the different ornaments) which brings me to why people have all the same color of ornaments on their Christmas tree! Not to be rude to anyone who is reading this who has all the same ornaments on their Christmas tree. But honestly it's not that creative and I don't like it. I can look at our Christmas tree for HOURS but others with matching ornaments I can't. Well that's all I have to say. So goodbye everyone or anyone who is reading this.

Um...just about everything...

I figured that since I have nothing else to do in my life and that I haven't written in here forever that I should write in my blog, just to touch things up a bit. Okay so...we left off at my best birthday ever! Man this is going to be a lot to talk about! School started (I guess I should start there) and well it's good...i guess. It's too early in 1 and 2 period that I can hardly think!! And don't make me mention the homework!! There is too much homework! I can't stand it!! Lets get into the classes first though. 1 period I have Science, we do labs almost everyday!! They can be fun but most of the time it's not (but most of the reason is because I get tired.) Then me and my friend Kaylee walk to our 2 period which is Utah Studies and it's in a portable. Usually we just talk in that class for the WHOLE time and mostly it's about food! I don't know why but it is what it is and I don't like that because it just makes me hungry!! Then me and Kaylee walk to our 3 period which is Music. He is so strict in how you sing, what your posture is and the way you pronounce every word!! I mean I know that he wants us to sing good and all but he is too strict!! Then it's lunch which is good because for some apparent reason I always get hungry in Music. Lunch is really short though you have to wait in a super long line (I bring home lunch, but I wait in line with my friend Kelsie) and that takes up most of your lunch time then you have 10 minutes to eat IF you want to go outside if not then you have 15. If you go outside then you walk around and talk and when they close the doors no one can go in and no one can go out so we have to walk around the whole school to the front doors but that isn't too long because you are talking the whole time! Then you go to 4 period which for me is CTE there are 3 different CTEs so they split it up during the year right now I am in Wood shop, but I won't be for long. The teacher gets really annoyed because we talk a lot. So far we have made a sticky note holder it is plastic that you bend when you heat it up and it's bent the perfect size for a sticky note to stick on. Then with some nails we screwed the bent piece of plastic to a small block of wood, then we drilled holes in the wood and that's where are pencils are supposed to go. Right now we are making a spinner which is much harder, but at least I'm trying! Then right across the hall is Health which is 5 period. Sometimes it can be really interesting but other times it can be super gross and when it's super gross it makes my stomach hurt! Next is Math and that's 6 period. Math is easier then it used to be and it makes the day seem like it's almost over but yet again it's really boring. And last but most definitely not least is 7 period which is Language Arts. I used to sit by my friend Kimber which was so much fun because she is happy and funny but now I don't but we can still talk before class. That's how school is going I guess. Nothing else to say (about school.) 

So next, mom finally gave in to let us spend the night at a hotel with Tracy Dad!!!! But not only was it over night it was at a very fancy hotel called Grand America!! Yes I know what you are thinking how lucky am I!!! We ordered room service once and they gave us a rose with it! We were on the 27 out of 30 floors! This was our view from our room!

                                                   Our room was so fancy and clean! It  was great!!

 The night of we went to Meagan's house for a late night. For dinner we really just had junk food but it filled us up! We stayed at Meagan's till like midnight.

 From looking outside up at the hotel it looked so high!! (well it IS so high.)

 There was even a door bell outside our room!!

 Fancy clocks and chandeliers were everywhere!!








It was so much fun! I broke my camera that I dropped in one of there elevators though! The morning of we woke up and Emma, Tracy dad, and Thom were arguing about something about Shakespeare. We didn't start walking to Denny's till about 10:00 and then when we got there we waited for our food till 11:00 and the little stuffed animal machines that don't work. Yeah they do! Emma got one that had 3 legs (weird I know). But I got a cute little elephant and the claw caught it by it's nose and it was just gracefully gliding and then dropped down the hole!

Um...now family: Ali and Mitchell are still cute and little Allison turned 1 last October. Mom made her a darling coat with a matching hat which she looks awesome in!! Then she got a cute little dolly from Meagan and another one from someone that I can't remember! I loved it when Ali was trying to play patty cake! She is darling!

 Mitch is cute too though. His birthday was in July and he turned 3. Man that kid is growing up fast!! He is talking so much better too! And when he goes into the playroom and cooks and says to me that he made me ice cream, soup, cookies, and a ton of other things! It's so dang cute!!

And I have been really loving the old Mickey and Minnie Mouse!! Also Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches because of that peanut butter and jelly song that Dad gave me. Well I guess that catches us up till another 9 months. Well that's it.

My absoulutly favorite birthday ever!!!

  So my birthday was the funnest!! It was so much fun Thursday was my birthday party and for some reason I got a ton of lotion!!!

We made journals...

we ate hoggies....

and decorated cake pops then for the rest of the time we played night games!





Friday mom took me to get makeup and after that we went to the cheesecake factory and had a cob salad. Saturday was Dad's surprise party where everyone came over for cake, then mom took dad out to dinner and so Thomas babysat me and he gave me his present which was just dance 2 and we played it for the whole night! Sunday was my birthday and we went to grandmas house and here is what i got:

A cellphone!! (crazy I know) from mom and dad
just dance 2 for the wii from thom
a little pink address book and lotion from amy
a really cute sock monkey named Sadie from emma
a sunday dress with matching shoes from mom
a minnie mouse T shirt and looney toons silly bands from meagan
a mickey mouse birthday card from grandma

                             
                                      It was so fun and it couldn't get better than this!!


    

My life

   So I have not wrote in my blog for a long time, and I blame that on my lovely camera because I had to put the pictures on my computer and yet I was still in the process of taking the pictures. Then finally today I put the pictures on my computer to find that half of the pictures (the ones that I needed too) were not going on my computer so, my so very helpful brother named Thomas deiced that I had enough with this nonsense!! So he willingly helped me and got my pictures on my computer.

   First Mitchell, I have never seen a person who loved to soak himself in water so much. Emma got out the hose once to clean off the tramp. Mitchell sees the water coming out of the hose and takes it out of Emma's hands! Emma turns off the hose because we didn't want Mitchell to get TOO soaked! But then mom sneaky turned on the hose and we were all so confused. But we just deiced to let Mitchell get as wet as much as he wanted. He is drinking the water, pouring the water on him and pouring the water on us too!! Finally he got too cold (because eventually we had to take his shirt and pants off because they were too wet) so we wrap him in a towel, and set him by the fire, but Mitchell wanted to play so I take him downstairs in my bedroom wrap him up in my fuzzy blankets and we watch Beauty and the Beast. We were so comfy and Mitchell got warm.

 Mitchell LOVES temples now! He is so cute! Mitchell goes up to Meagan and says, "semple mama semple!!" and points to the piano at our house. Meagan says, "oh you want to sing the temple song?" "okay" says Mitchell as he ran to the piano. Meagan is playing the song and singing to it, then when she stops Mitchell turns the pages on the piano and starts to play the piano (or try to) and sings, "oh semple adfhada semples oh mama shfad ifahdfieha semples oh dada adhfaidfhas semples" and it was just so cute. He also sang a song about me and Daisy.

  

Plus now that he loves temples so much he builds them too with the blocks at our house. This temple that he is building now he built all by himself.

Now second, Ali. Ali is smiling whenever you smile at her. Even if you just say to her, "Hi ali ali!! how are you oh you are so cute!!" she will start smiling and sometimes laughing! She never stops smiling that cute little girl!! I love her so much!!! Even when she is tired she is smiling!!!

 And then one day I walk upstairs and i find mom and Meagan both crawling with Ali whenever and wherever she goes.....I don't even know how it started.....





  Now third, school. School ended!!! Yippee!!! No more homework!! But I have to admit that I will miss the lovely 6 grade with my all time favorite teacher Mr. Rosansky he taught so well and was yet so much fun!! There is so many memories that we did in 6 grade. Like all the parties, such as dance parties, movie parties, holiday parties, and we also had a hippie day!! We also did a play called Les Mis. We played games outside and inside and we had a blast the whole year through!! Even Mr. Rosansky said that this class was one of his favorites!! At the last day of school we played softball, it was against the teachers and the 6 grade. We lost (of course) and it was such a waist because it was way hot outside and we knew that we were going to loose.

  Now for last but most certainly not least my Birthday!! Don't worry it hasn't come up yet but now only 13 more days till it does!! I will be turning 12 years old which means i get to wear makeup!! And so mom and I are going shopping for makeup on Friday. My birthday party is on Thursday, which is going to be so fun because we are making journals!! Then Saturday mom goes with dad. And then Sunday is my birthday!! And we hope to go to grandma's on Sunday too!! I can't wait I am so excited!!!
