I had a Choir Concert. I found out my mom went out on a few dates with my Choir Director - Mr. Abbott - WEIRD!!

I have a red flower in my hair on the 3rd row.

Last week during gym I hurt my finger. I thought it was broken. My dad took an x-ray and it wasn't broken. It swelled up and turn lots of beautiful colors. It HURT!!

Me and My Swollen Finger

Today is Easter. We watched General Conference. My dad made me take notes.
For Easter, I got Pajamas, white sandals, a "M" necklace, flowers for my hair, and CANDY!

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!! July was my last post. I guess being a teenager with a blog is difficult work! (: Sooo many things have gone on! Umm.. Where the heck do I start!? August- School started.. 7th grade is very different that elementary! More classes, no recess):, and more SCARY odd teachers. I took French, mom says it a feminine language, I saw its the Devil. But now that I am in my second tri-mester. I am thinking again. Pretty sure that German and "Frau" Miskin is Satan. Lets just see what Spanish has to offer-since I chose that for my Language ALLL year next school year.. It better be good. Ha. September..Uhh.. October.. November.. December. CHRISTMAS(: Yah. That is all i got. A new year began.. 2010. I have such difficulties writing that. I will start writing 09, stop at the 0 and squeeze a 1 in there(: January was a crazy month! Umm. January 9, the twins were born! My twin (ADORABLE) boy cousins. Ben and Colin(: Now, I just need to meet them... It was my daddy's birthday so my parents went on a cruise! Mexico-without me(: Dang. But Jessica came and babysat! That was the funniest weekend. Got to do a lot of Dance Parties with my best friend. Short Shorts, V-Necks, Knee-high socks, blasting music! Ahh. Good weekend. Except I sort of became a women that weekend...Yeah, that was a downer. BUT I thought of the positive and kept it a secret. Ha! When my parents came home. It was sorta like "Disneyland Depression". No offense mom.. January, you could say, when down hill. On the 28th my great gma Betty died. :( She was so great and I will miss her. We all will. So my family went down to Reno for her funeral. I was able to stay with the Allen's. Thanks Jenn! That was a way fun weekend too!! Late nights watching movies(: But I had some Valentine drama during that. My BEST guy friend asked me to be his Valentine! But I rejected him. Didn't want to make it awkward was my excuse(: I told him if anyone else asked me, I'd say no.. Another guy asked me. I said yes. I lost a friend.. DRAMA! Ugh. I'm 13 for crying out loud, wanna give me a break!!! Yeah. So i have a valentine(: .... I am not sure what else to say.. So I am going to stop here.(:

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!
