My Close Family...... I LOVE EM'!

Now the Hatch Family has left the building.... :( Their little family plus Ashley left around 9ish this morning to go on their long journey back to Indiana. Even though it is hard to say goodbye, we had some very fun times while they were here. We had tons of family parties, boating every weekend, Gpa Earls encounter with "dying" ( He had a mild heart attack) A Dorius/Tyler Party, Going to the pool, Gpa Earl and Roe's Wedding, Sleepover with Joshie and Megan and The Allen Boys, Going to the Gateway and seeing movies, Finding out that Megan and Josh are having TWINS!!!, Me babysitting, Plus, doing Alyson's nails and makeup. Whenever her mommy would leave the house, she would immediately start to cry and the first idea I would say was, "Aly, do you want to do your nails?" And she ALWAYS said yes!! I loved it! They are the cutest family and the best cousins and Aunt and Uncle anyone could ask for! I feel so lucky to have an extended family that is so close to each other! Sometimes when you feel "down" you usually go to your parents but I know I can ask an older cousin or even a close aunt to uncle (preferably someone who plays "C.O.D" if you know what I mean ;) ) and I feel so blessed to have that kind of relationship with my family! So I guess even though the Hatch Family is gone, (Plus Ash :) ) We are still so close that it will feel like they never left! :)

The Hatches Have Arrived!

The Hatch Family has arrived! Amanda, Brett, Jane, Tobe, and Alyson have made it here to Utah! They came on Wednesday, the 24th , and the party began. Even though Brett had to cut his visit short with some business needed to take care of at home, we will still party without him. Sorry Brett.... Some things we are thinking about doing while having them here is boating, (A LOT) Jungle Jyms, bowling, parties, sleepovers, and swimming! So I will keep you updated on those things when we do them! :) Until then, have a great day. (That was way cheesy)

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day everybody! Wow, that line was cheesy! Today, my extended family is coming over to party! We will eat... steak. Mmmmm... We mostly have everybody but a few are missing including.... Jenn and Scott, Sam, Manda, Brett, and the Hatch Kiddies! =( But we will try to survive.. :) Just kidding. My mom has put together some different memories about our fathers. Some from Aly to Jessie! Some specific are... "My dad ditched school to cut down a tree that he got his car stuck in!" -Tanner, "My dad sang in front of our young women's in the tightest temple jumpsuit!" -Manda, "My dad thinks his kids are Super-stars!" -Jessie, "My dad almost caused a stampede lighting fire-crackers in a horse stable!" -Ashley. So there is just a mini clip of some funny memories or quotes! I know we will have a fun time so to everybody else not able to come.. Happy Father's Day!!!!

Summer with a chance of Memories

As you know I haven't posted for a while.. MAY 13!?!? Well I made a promise to myself that I will post a ton its summer! Oh yes.. ITS SUMMER!!! I can't believe it! I am out of Elementary but i am deathly afraid for Junior High! Sixth grade was a fun year though. I moved during it but made a lot of friends I will a take with me through Middle School. Some fun things happened during sixth.. There was my Shakesheare play, "A Mid Summer Nights Dream" and that was Way fun, (mostly cause there was no homework for those two weeks... Plus, there was an eggdrop: you had to create a package to put a raw egg in and drop it from our school roof.. No bubblewrap.... that was hard.. The most creative one I saw was when my friend Abby put hers between two bags of Marshmallows and my other friend Jamie stuffed hers into a WATERMELON! They both broke but mine survived! Another fun activity was our talent show! We had dancers, karate, singing, guitarists, scooter tricks, and piano.. I did my guitar and sang too! I sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz and I won! So I had to perform in front of the grade, teachers, and parents during our Graduation! Graduation was very fun and touching for most.. of the teachers! Kids were just excited to get out of the prison hall..... well now i must go help Jessica do harmony on a song... Wish me luck!!!!

Many Things...

I am so sorry i haven't posted a new post. I have had a lot going on... I had my dance performance that the Allen's came to. By the way.. Thanks again Allens! Plus I have had rehearsal for our Draper Temple Celebration, and I have my up coming South Valley dance recital. This year, instead of having one book, we have six. There are soloists in each book. I am the soloist in Matthew's Dream. I am Matthew. A curious mouse with high dreams, my lover is Nicoletta. Played by Hannah... AWKWARD! :) Another magical thing is that... THE HATCHS' ARE COMING TOMORROW! I can NOT wait! My mom is going to check me and Mackay out of school and meet Josh and Meg down at the airport to see them... I will post pictures when I snap some. So Hatchs' be ready to SMILE!

THE HAPPY PLACE!!!!!

Sorry i haven't updated! We came home from St. George one week ago. On Easter! I love repeat LOVE! St. George!



It was a long but worth it drive. Mackay and Molly did have like seven naps though! :)













But when we got there we did lots of fun things like going to Great Grandpa Ralph's grave. (Gpa two) and swim (hayden managed to fall asleep in a towel at the pool!) ... and go to Pancho and Lefty's :S But we loved it and going home wasn't fun at all...




Here are some extra pictures of our trip!


here is my Easter basket!



Mackay LOVED the pool....



Here are our Easter Eggs...



Even though Molly is a Mama's girl...



She managed to make a friend next door! :)



And those are some pictures from St. George a.k.a THE HAPPY PLACE

Our Soon-to-be Awesome Trip!

Time is going so slow for us kids in the Hall Family! Tomorrow we are going to ST. GEORGE! We are super excited. The last time we were there was for our Great Grandpa's funeral. That was like in 2006! We are a little bummed that the pool isn't open yet but we will live! I'll post pics soon of our trip!

Joshie and Meggie's House.......

Right now I am blogging from Josh's house. I usually come and hang with Josh and play video games until four in the morning. Our favorite game probably is Call Of Duty on the X-Box or Wii. Mackay is with me and we are listening to Josh and Megan making a funny discussion. About folding clothes and putting a pot in the sink.. Now Josh is singing a "Daredevil" song. Bring Me To Life by Evanescence. He is singing in the highest pitch I have ever heard! Ouch! :D

Mad Mom

Today I stayed home from school to babysit my brother with strep throat...... And then my mom was going to take me to get my shots and then go straight to school. So when she got home, we all got in the car and my mom had a feeling to call the doctor. She was told that walk-ins were welcome. But they changed. The doctors needed to know when my last check-up was. And it was at least three years ago. But it needed to be in the past two, so my check up in on June something! My mom is mad..... But I am not! I am not at school! Wooo!!!

My Partner

Since you probably already know, I have to do a dancing thing WITH A BOY..... scary huh? Well since I not like someone who is fine dancing with the other species, I was nervous to see who my partner would be... Turns out my partner is not so bad at all. Kinda. It is still a boy but it is ironically my older cousin Tanner! So at least he is a relative! :D

Temple Dedication and New Blogger!

Hello Everybody! Today was church and I thought once we come home, we can get into comfy clothes and just be lazy, but no... My mom and I have to go to a special fireside kickoff for the dedication of the Draper Temple. So at seven o'clock, I must get back into nice clothes and go to church all over again. :) Our stake is doing a big program in May for the dedication. We get to choose either singing or dancing.My mom and aunt Jenn are in charge of one of the billion dances. So I will probably dance. Plus I love to do it!!! Speaking of dancing, my cousin Jane has started her own blog!!! And she is what 5? Or 6? So for all of you who think your too young or just to lazy to blog.... THINK AGAIN!! :D her website is janeybug.blogspot.com

Beautiful Jessica :)

My cousin went to Riverton's prom on Saturday... Her dress was purple with a black shrug and very beautiful. He date's shoes were the bomb in my opinion! :) You looked amazing Jess!!!

Gma, Temple, Fun....

As you can see, i posted three pictures. They are all in a line because I have no idea how to write above them or move them down. The first picture is Jessica, my cousin, and Steph, my soon-to- be aunt, at the temple. That is right. On February 21 2009, my family went to go see the Draper Temple. It is soo amazingly beautiful! I could go there again, even though it was three hours. But I enjoyed it. The second picture is Gma Kathy. Yesterday was her birthday, February 28, 2009. We celebrated it with the last picture. My family wrote happy birthday notes to her and sent them away to "heaven". We went to the cemetary and but some ballons on the gravestone and let our ballons fly to her. Although Hayden cried because he didn't want his ballon to go away, it was a fun "Birthday Party" Plus, I went to my first JAZZ GAME LAST NIGHT, I tell about that later...

Writing Assessment Test, Jazz!

Today was my 6th grade writing assessment test.... It is counted for so many things including if I am able to get into Honor's English in 7th grade. I don't know how well I did... That topic we had to write about was just about the dumbest thing I had ever heard off. It was used for 2nd graders for crying out loud!!! I will tell you how I did once I know. The waiting is now killing me... But one good thing that is coming out of this week is that I might get to go to a Jazz game with my Papa. :) on Saturday. Let's hope I get to go. It is for like a daddy-daughter or father-son. My brother's father-son date was going to some other jazz game and mine was.. drum roll please...... Shopko for milk!!!!!!! Yeah, so he better choose me.

Bangs, Bruises, and Brats

Hey, so my daddio just sprained his ankle!! Ouch! " His" story is that he was jogging and then wanted to go in the road so he stepped off the sidewalk and slipped on some ice and took a tumble. (Can you imagine that??) My mom's story is that there was a little puppy that was coming after him and so he did not want to deal with it, so he stepped off the curb and biffed it! Then the little puppy came and licked his face to make it better. :) Well another fun thing is I got my haircut. I got bangs! That's fun! And, my class is doing a Shakespeare play. A Mid-Summer Nights Dream. All of my friends tried out and they all got leads. I didn't try out but I gave a note to my teacher saying I will be anything but a narrator. I got Narrator #1. I am sad.

Ice Fishing and Saddness

Sorry I have not posted anything. Yesterday was super busy. Well, the past two days has been pretty busy. On Friday, Sam Allen and I got to sleep over at Grandpa Earl's house. Then next day, we all went ice fishing in Saratoga Springs Boat Dock. That is where we all go boating in the summer so it was a shock to see it totally frozen! It was really cool thought. At the beginning, there was no luck for any of us. Then this wonderful man shared his lucky secret. He looped it some different way, after he told gpa, he did his special way on Sam's pole. After the man did it, Sam caught 3 in 4 mins.!!! The score when we were done was, 8,4, and 1. Sam was the eight, Gpa was the four. But the cool part was that we were all catching Bluegills but then Gpa caught... a croppie! It was huge compared to the Bluegill. It was really cool. And guess what, I got the one fish! :( It is okay thought. Once we got home, we gutted the fish and I got all the meat off of Grandpas fish. We had a really fun time together. Sadly thought, Today is the last day Mackay and I are off track. We have been off for five weeks! Now we will go on until March 30! That is downer. Oh well... The pic is of my fish that I caught.... :) eww

Pictures From Hawaii!

These are some pictures from Hawaii my parents took on their phone and sent to me!
The first pic is of my parents hotel's pool. I think it is very cool looking!!! :) The picture next to it is of my dad looking at ocean. The one below my dad is a pic of a view from their balcony! Next to that is a huge tree!! It starts with a "B" but i dont remember what it is called. The last pic is of The other pool in their hotel! It is so weirdly shaped! I love it! I will post a pic of how well they did on there tan and do a vote on who got tanner! So keep checking in!

Fun is Almost Over but Just Beginning For Josh and Megan!

My parent have been gone for six days now. Us kids are missing them but having a blast with Gma Becky and Gpa Tom and Remy! We have done so many fun things including, my first time bowling and getting second place( Gma Becky got first), buying 12 fish and a fish aquarium, killing six fish (Not so fun for the fish), going to Walmart four days straight, eating pizza and staying up late, having Gpa Earl come over for dinner, going to Petco and much more!!! My parents are sort of feeling home sick but not a ton! They come home tomorrow morning. Six A.M to be exact!! Once they come home, the party is over, NO OFFENSE MOM AND DAD! But today was just the start of Josh and Megan's fun... They got to go to Indiana to visit my Aunt and Uncle and Cousins. Manda, Brett, Jane, Tobe, and Aly! They are so lucky! They have been super excited! They got plane tickets for Christmas and I bet they have been counting the days until they get to get on their airplane and fly off! :) Hope you guys have a blast there!!!!! Say hi to the Hatches for me!!! Bahahaha!!!

Ahoy Whale Watchers!

Today is Tuesday and I am sicker than a dog! I think I have a cold and a cough and a sore throat! I dont really know! I hope my parents are having a more fun time! I know that they are! They are in Hawaii for goodness sakes! Today they went whale watching! My mom was scared to death because there was a big whale ten feet away from her boat!!! Then it slapped the water with it's tail and they said that it splashed them! That would be fun but a little bit of a downer to be wet the rest of the day... That is okay though, they are still lucky people! :)

Bye Mom and Dad, Hello PARTY!!!!!

So my parents, as you probably know, are on their way to HAWAII!! Lucky ducks, I know!! They left around 10:00 and their flight leaves about 11:10 And they will arrive in Lahaina around 5:30. We will miss them a lot but we will have a party here too. :) We are going to have fun with Grandma Becky and Grandpa Tom and Remy. Their chocolate LAB! Last time I said lad. Your welcome Manda! ;) By the way, the picture is before their awesome tan! Hope you have fun Mom and Dad!!!!!

Fun Filled Week Ahead of Us!

This is my first real blog so wish me luck! Some fun things are about to come to our family, including... My parents are lucky enough to have a fun filled trip for a week. And guess where they are going... HAWAII!!!! The bad part is that they are not taking us. (me, Mackay and Hayden) But we still get a treat. My grandparents are coming for a week to watch us! They live in Nevada and they are driving here. They have never been here, well to our house at least, for a full week! I bet they will like our new house, but boy, they don't know what they have gotten themselves into! Another fun thing is that they are bringing their big puppy, well not really a puppy. It is a big chocolate lad named Remy. She is the sweetest thing but she can put my brothers to the ground in two seconds! When they get here, I will post some pictures of them, so stay up with me! :)

The Test Begins... NOW!

Hey! I am Kenzie Hall and this is a blog about what is going on! Are you happy Manda??? :)
