Summer is here and it's time to hit the pool!!! I've already gone a couple of times, and it's weird seeing Kelsey at the snack bar stand. Summer's going by WAY too fast. It's already July and it seems like summer break started just a few days ago.
We've had a couple of nice days, but alas, Moscow is still wet, very wet. This is not good. Especially when your celebrating the 4th of July. The upside is my grandparents on my dad's side are here. They got here Tuesday and it's been a ton of fun. We went and saw Toy Story 3, and amazingly it was a good movie (but not Kung-Fu Panda good) !!! It was well done and actually had a thought-through plot. It didn't need to be in 3D though, there was nothing popping out at you, so I suggest waiting to rent it instead of seeing it in the theater. We've done other fun things too. Such as going to a river and park, going out to eat at Sella's, going the the arboretum, and even just talking to them is great. I expect everyone to follow their example and come down to visit us too.
For the 4th of July we're not doing anything especially grand. We do have our grandparents over, and we did go and see Toy Story 3 and those are cool. We almost went to a lake to hang out and go swimming and tubing with a couple of other families in our ward (one of the families had moved away but was coming to visit), but it was too cold for us so we skipped.
Aunt Lora visited us a week ago and I was also doing basketball camp that same week, and both of those were fantastic. I think the camp really helped me get better at basketball event thought it was only five days, but to put it the short way, there weren't very many kind people there. I'm really glad I had a friend there with me. It was also fantastic to have the Strawns over. They are just a load of fun, and I'm so happy they live close.
Happy 4th of July!!!

Seven More Days of School
ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL!!! I am so excited! This year, unlike last year, has gone by very fast. Nonetheless I am ready for Summer Break! There's no school tomorrow, because it's Memorial Day, and then there's three days the next week. Which means, because of our weird schedule, I only have 5 more days of each class!!!!! Which is especially exciting because that means I only have exactly 5 hours and 30 min. left with Mr. Lawton, my Science teacher, FOREVER!
I don't have anything too big planned out for the summer. We're going camping a couple of times, I don't know how fun that will be, but I'm trying to keep open mind. Then there's Girl's Camp, and we're going to Spokane with Aunt Julie to go shopping and other fun stuff. I'll also be hanging out with friends a lot, and going to the pool. And No, I'm not going to be working on my tan, because I don't get tan, I get sunburned. So I will be wearing sunscreen at the pool, and the real kind, not the tanning kind, unlike all my sunburn-free-tan-lovin friends. But besides that my Summer is totally care-free, and I can tell you right now, I am going to LOVE it!!!

Spring Break
For spring break we all went to St. George to visit our grandparents. It was only 48 degrees when we first got there, which was very disappointing, but quickly warmed up to 78. Which was good, because the whole way there it was snowing, and we got stuck behind an accident that took 45 min. to clean up, then drove 15 mph for 5 min. before getting stuck behind another one, which also took a long time to clean up. We decided to stop at the next town, Beaver, and stay at a hotel, since it was getting pretty dark. Everyone else had that same idea too, though. We were very lucky though, because we called our grandma and she gave us the phone number for the 2nd to last room in the entire town. Everyone else had to sleep on a church floor. Not fun. Especially for someone like me who you could say has sleeping disorders if you felt like being nice that day.
It was definitely worth it, though. The week was a TON of fun. We went hiking, went to parks, to an actual, real, authentic, bookstore, with real books! We went to their Rec. Center and played Racquetball ball (which I was awful at. I've decided my official excuse is that it was my first time), basketball, bump, ping-pong, Foosball (which I creamed my Dad at), and air hockey. And we did lots of other fun things. It was worth the long, hard drive, and would do it again any time.
We got home Sat. afternoon, and a half hour I got home my friend that moved to Pullman invited me over. She said she had "shicks" she was really excited to show me. I tried to figure out what shicks were, and the only possible explanations I could come up with is they got another dog, and that was his name, or it was some stick game. Dad said she probably said "chicks", and he was right. They live in their own little area, and have two dogs, are getting horses, and now have chicks! They were SO cute! They had yellow ones, black ones, and dark brown ones, and one special one that was light brown and had a white stripe going down its back. One went to the bathroom on my hand, and i have to admit they looked slightly less cute after that.
Mom's birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and we celebrated Dad's yesterday. We went to Lewiston and he and Mom went to look for lamps. They didn't find any, so we went to this pizza place that was okay. We decided Sella's was much better. Then we went and watched the cartoon movie How to Train Your Dragon in 3D. It was very cool,and everyone really liked it, especially me. I really like cartoons. They're so simple and happy, and always have happily ever afters. I also saw the movie the Illusionist (not in theaters) though, which is not a cartoon, but a mystery and suspense movie. I really liked it, it had cool special effects, and it was really well done. Everyone's faces were always in the shadows, and the edges of the screen were always dimmer, so it looked like you were looking through someone's eyes. I recommend seeing both those movies.

DANCE YOUR HEART OUT!!!
So right now my life is just the usual. Eat, sleep, breath. OK, so it's a little more interesting than that, but nothing too exciting has happened lately. I hang-out with friends, try to help them out with all their boy drama stuff, which I luckily have chosen not to get involved in except to give them advice and listen to them. I go to school, go to mutual, go to church, go to b-ball practice. And that's about it.
OK, actually here is something that's bugged me.I learned that for mutual that we we're going to learn how to swing dance, and with boys too. So that might sound fun to anyone else, but to me that sounds like torture. I begged and begged my parents to not make me go, but apparently it's my duty. Finally they partially gave in and said I only had to stay there for 25 min. Which means at exactly 7:25 I could call them if I wasn't having fun.
Luckily our neigbors we were car-pooling with came a few minutes late, but that didn't help too much. So I went there, and to put it in short, it was awful. It was a tri-ward activity so there was like 30 people standing in front of me so I couldn't see the instuctors, they were going super fast, me or the guy I was doing it with didn't know how to do it, and pluss I hate dancing unless you're just totally goofing off with your friends or family. So after we switched partners a couple of times I went and hid in the bathroom for then next 5 min. Kelsey wouldn't let me use her cellphone to call my parents so I used the church phone to call them.
When I got home I went and changed into my Pjs and then Jenna came down and said my leader, Sister Kreihbel, was here to see me. I thought she was going to make me go somewhere so I threw on some clothes and went up to see that she had made me a huge cookie in the shape of a heart, that was beatifully decorated. Sister Kreibel is a wonderful leader and I love her so much. She is so sweet and dedicated to her calling.
So, the next day guess what we did in PE. We had to go up to the mat room and watch and do a DANCING video. It wasn't as bad though, because it was all these weird, funny dances and I was with my friends, so me and my friend, Olivia, just totally goofed around.
And today is the family dance at the church. I never knew that Valentines Day was a time for dancing. So I give all of you a challenge. Show your love by going home and dancing your heart out tonight. and Happy Valentines Day!

Going Foreign
We had a Weber family reunion and it was very fun. We didn't really go in the snow though, except for one day we went sledding. We, Anne,Samantha and me went into the hot tub a couple of times. We'd go and run around in the snow then run back into the hot tub. We had Family Night and we we're in charge of the awards. Some we had were, the biggest bruise, the person who's changed the most since the last Family reunion,the person who can do the most push-ups, ect.
We played lots of games, ate lots of food, and I had a blast! We left Thursday and spent New Years Eve in Salt Lake with some cousins on are other side. That was fun too. We played on the Wii, ate food, watched Spider Man 3, and Jenna, BreAnne and I did some makeovers where we made ourselves look scary, even if sometimes it wasn't on purpose.
My b-day was two weeks ago, but we're celebrating it today. We had french-bread french-toast, and german pancakes (which we got from Heather's blog), I guess I just felt like going foreign. It was very good, we also had orange juice. I got a cute skirt that was beige and had pink and brown flowers all over it and a brown T-shirt to go with it. I had actually picked those out myself before when my mom and i went shopping and i got to pick out two things, reasonablly priced I wasnted for my b-day. She wrapped them though. I also got a cute green shirt, a tote to carry my scriptures in, (which I had wanted for a really long time) it was white with orange polka dots and would match my new skirt too. I got a little book with three pictures of me that Nate had drawn that were very well-drawn,and Kelsey's old, blue ipod she's found that still has a few songs on it. I've wanted an ipod for a long time too, and at a couple of points I had enough money to buy one, but I've always decided there were beter things to spend my money on and refrained, so I', glad I got one. For my b-day we're not doing anything big with the fmaily since I'm having a b-day party.
We're going to have a Mario-kart tournament, and play some other games. We're havinng our own cake, we're having at lunch. It's a kind I've wanted for a really long time but we never have it. It's a chocolate cake with a layer of this pudding thing, then a layer of chocolate frosting stuff, then another chocolate cake, and more frosting. Or something like that, and you add strawberries or cranberries, or raspberries on it sometimes. It's SUPER good.
Then 5-9 is my party. We're doing blind-folded makeovers which are really fun, the playing this game where you roll dice until someone gets doubled then they try to unwrap and eat as many Rolo's as they can with chopsticks until someone else rolls doubles then they stop and the other person goes. We're playing spoons, but the person who looses has to go in a room and everyone else makes a disgustion concoction they have to drink. And the Flour game where you pakc down flour and put a penny in the middle of it and you cut a piece of the flour off and whoever makes the penny fall has to get it out with their mouth.
The only problem with that game is it's no fun if people try to make it fall, and you can only play it like twice, or it makes a big mess, and the penny has been touched by too many people's mouths.
We're also decorating cupcakes and eating pizza. And watching the movie While You Were Sleeping. And if you haven't seen that I want you to know that it's not a horror show, or a gross show, even if it sounds like it. It's sort of a chick-flick comedy. And I can't remember it that well, but I remember that I thought it was very funny. I recommend it.

Sunday, December 6, 2009
Sigh, my blog won't let me change my background and it's been that way for like 6 months. Sigh, again. I don't really have too much to say so I'll make this short. Here's what happened and what's going to happen.
Happened
1. Kelsey went to debbs
2. I had the usual week, went to school, went to friends house and watched a movie, got in trouble, slept, ate, went to church.
3. We fasted Thursday because we're doing this ward fasting thing. It was hard to fast at school, but worth it. Afterwards we went to the Mongolian BBQ, which was delicious and I brought the leftovers to school for lunch the next day.
4. My friend that I saw at The Mongolian BBQ was sick the next day so I really hope she didn't get food poisining or anything.
Going to Happen
1. There's a field trip Friday where all the 7th graders get split up onto two ferries and go watch eagles fly around. Sounds fun right. Wrong! First of all it's the middle of December, in Moscow, and your on a boat, on a lake, with lots of wind. I don't know about you but that sounds just a little cold to me. Also most of my closer friends have the other science teacher so they won't be on my boat because the boats are split up by classes. Also my hands get cold really easily. They even turn purple. Also sometimes I get car sick, and I'd be on a bus or boat all day. Pluss everyone who went on it said it was boring and no fun. So me and my friend, Ameena, talked to our teacher and we're going to stay home and have tons of fun. He's going to give us an assignment as punishment for not going, but it's going to be worth it because I'll be able to sleep in on a Friday when everyone else has to get up early and go be miserable at school! Also we're going to go shopping, and they'll be like no one there and we're going to make cookies and watch a movie, and other fun stuff.
2. There's a temple trip on Saturday, which we'll be I think the 4th one there's been since I've went into the YW, but the second one I've ever been on. I'm excited, it'll be fun.
3. The Cresh is coming up, Wednesday. And for all of you who don't know what that is it's where people go and look at all these Nativity sets they have set up.
4.The Weber Family Reunion is coming up, which I am SO looking forward too.
5. And CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
6. and New Years
7. And my (and Trent's) Birthday. I'm turning 14! It's so weird!
As you can see alot more will be happening then already happened. Which kinda seems how it always is, even though it's not. (except for this instant of course) We just think life will get more interesting as we go on.
