ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

This year what i wanted for christmas is a puppy, i didn't get that but i did get something else. i got a 46in. flatscreen tv with HD built in. it is soooo cool. we put it in our living room so now we can watch tv as a family together. now the tv in the basement is mostly for gaming. i also got clothes, a snowboard jacket (my favorite), shoes and other stuff. hope you all had a merry christmas and have a happy new year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

i just wanted to say that i hope everyone has a merry christmas. i am really going to miss everyone on christmas and i hope your christmas is terrific! all is well here with 1 1/2 ft of snow and warming up. i wish all you floridians could expereience our winter wonder land. i spend hours playing in the snow and usally the only reason i come inside is because i am too cold to be out there and longer. well i love you guys and miss you! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

LET IT SNOW

Today we had a half day because of snow. We also had a snow day on Fri., Mon., and we went home an hour early on thursday. On thursday, there was a huge ice storm. All thursday, night trees were falling (from the weight of snow and ice) and it was really loud. On Friday morning half the houses in our capital district were out of power. At around 7am my parents were up and my mom looked out the window for a second and just happened to see a tree branch fall on our main power wire. This had happened to us last winter and we lost all power, including heat. so needless to say my mom was worried that it was going to happen again.............but, it didn't. Instead, we lost internet, phone, and tv. (that's why i haven't updated my blog in so long) Almost all of our friends lost power and they were all freezing. One night we had a full house of people who lost power........aren't we nice? one of our friends that live one block behind us,lost power for 6 days. they weren't able to use their fire so their house was probaly the coldest. the girls slept over one night and ate dinner with us another night because they couldn't stand the cold. Now tonight they are having everyone over who helped them in their time of need. so that was my week. right now it is snowing really hard. we are expected to get 2-3 inches of snow every hour, and who knows how long it will last. i hope we don't loose power......wish us luck!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!

OH MY GOSH

well i just got back from the movie and it was one of the best movies i have ever seen!! it was soooooo good. it was about a girl who moves to a new school and she gets attracted to this boy, who is a vampire. they fall in love, but there is a problem. edward wants to eat her and so do the other "bad vampires." edward is what you call a "vegeterian". that means he doesn't eat people's blood, he and his family drink the blood from animals. bella has a certian scent about her that temps edward, should she trust him.
oh yeah and the picture of the guy is edward . (the boy everyone loves)

REPORT

Madagascar 2 was good. More for little kids, but it was funny. There were many jokes and most of them were funny:). I would give this movie a 7 out of 10.

In other movie news.....i am seeing TWILIGHT tomorrow!!! everyone has been obsessing over it and waiting for the movie to come out. i haven't read the book but i am going to see it with my friends. It seems like I (not inlcuding the boys) am the only person who has not read it. i think i am going to read them now, they seem really good.
People are so obsessed with the book/movie that some girls were wearing home made Twilight shirts and everyone is in LOVE with Edward. (whom ever that is)
Well I'll write about how it was after i see it! BYE

MADAGASCAR 2

since tomorow we don't have school, i am ging to see MADAGASCAR 2 tonight. i don't really know what it is about but, i am going to see it with my friend so it will be fun. i saw the first one and it was good. after i see it i will write about how good it was and if it was worth seeing.

MORE SOCCER!!!

Now that our school team is over, my travel team has started. now we play indoors and 5 on 5 (not including the goalies). the fields are tirf (i don't know how to spell that) so the ball rolls really fast and doesn't stop moving. the game is much faster and all the girls are better. we won our last game 8-4. one of our girls scored 6 out of the 8. i did pretty good. it was hard getting used to the indoors. and fouls were called really easily. that is really bad because most of the girls can score from theit side of the half. the ref almost gave me a yellow card. ( oh bad me...... : ).......) but all in all we did good.

SORRY BOUT MY GRAMMAR!!

i just wanted to say sorry about my really bad grammar mistakes. the blog doesn't correct them for you!! THATS CRAZY.....and i always forget to captilize things. i spell things wrong and put punctuation in the wrong spots. its usally not this bad, but im not in school so i don't have to do it correct. :) :) :)

PUPPIES

I REALLY want a puppy. i want one soo bad.i have convinced my mom to want one and i think my dad wants one but we can't get one now because we r too busy. if we were to get one, it would be a small lapdog. my mom likes the bage matlese mixes. (kind of like the one in the pic) i've been trying to convince my parents that if they get me a puppy for Christmas, i won't ask for anything else. you can tell that i really want a puppy!!oh i hope i get one!!!!!! but my mom said maybe in the summer.........................

NORTH CARILONA FUN IS OVER :(

over the summer, when we went to N Carolina, i had sooooo much fun. it is always my favorite vacation because i get to see my family that i never see! i also love it because as u can see we have a lake in our backyard. we always rent a boat and go tubing and that is really fun. this year they also put in a slide in off the dock so that is really fun. their basement is really fun. they have a pingpong table, a t.v, games, and blocks. (Raliegh's favorite.) once we leave i really miss everyone sooooo much. and i can't belive Raliegh remembers me Aunt Patti!!! i really miss u guys sooo much and i can't wait to see u again.

LYNX

Over the summer i participated in a premere soccer team. The Adarondac Lynx. We played most of the summer and it went into some of the school year. we went up to a soccer campus place where my team stayed for 2 nights. it was really fun. i made a bunch of new friends and i got a lot better. this Lynx team was made up of all the teams put together. when i first saw the other girls, i reconized some of them from other teams. some of them i hated. but the one i hated the most, ended up being the nicest girl i met on the team. in the top pic. u can see me anilating a little shrimp. she doesn't stand a chance against me!!!! The bottom pic. is of the whole team. i am the one standing up, 2nd in from the right. it was a lot of fun and i wish it wasn't over.

NOT SO IMPORTANT UPDATES

i just got home from babysitting. it was fun, and now i am bored.........................soccer is good. we have had 2 games so far and have won both of them. i scored in the first game and had an assist in the second game..............................today is homecoming for my brother. he went in early to help set up and now he is getting all ready.......................... im still playing piano, nothing exciting......................i had a s.s test on friday, it was easy................................the outside of our back poarch is done now. all we have to do is do the inside. today we were moving plants into garden boxes.................................i want some candy corn so i am ging to go now. BYE

NEW SONG

i just went to Aropastalle to try on a pair of jeans and they gave me a free song to downlead onto itunes. it's the Plain White T's, LOVE AT 10TH SIGHT. its pretty good. it should be on my playlist. and if i bring in proof that i bought the jeans to Aropastalle the day the album comes out, i get a free Plain White T's shirt!!!

SOCCER

I tried out for my school soccer team last week. the cuts were made this week. i think they cut about 5-10 people. we did a lot of conditioning....... so far i ran about 10 miles if you add the 2 weeks up.a couple of days ago we found out if we made the yeam or not. it was very hard to wait, but the results were good........i made the team!!!!!!!!!!!!! our first game is not that far away and we will be running a mile everyday (except fridays) until our first game. but what is good is that we don't have to run a mile on fridays.......................................we run even more. but other than the running, it is very easy. i have all my friends on the team. i think we are pretty good but we will find out after our first game. but i know one thing is for sure, we are not going to lose because we aren't in good enough shape! i will update this after our first game to let you know how good we are. :):):)

MY NEW ROOM

My parents just came back from a trip to San Francisco. While they were gone my aunt from Florida came up to watch us. I had a GREAT time. While she was here me and my brother redid our rooms. We went up to IKEA and got all of our stuff. I got a new bed, bed set, pillows, and curtains. We also painted my room and my aunt and I did many crafts. My room is now BRIGHT green, although it is bright it looks really cool. With my aunt we made a bulliton board out of ceilling tile and fabric. We also painted these wooden letters that spelled out my name so that every letter was different colors and that they all matched my room. It all looks really cool all put together. Now that we are done with our rooms we are on to our living room. We are making a storyboard for that right now. We went to the FURNITURE HOUSE Of saratoga Lake and took pictures. We also got pics from online. Our house will look sooooo amazing when we are all done but, I don't know how long that will take we are always doing something new. I will tell you when we are done with EVERYTHING.

LAS VAGAS!!!

After the Grand Canyon we went to LAS VAGAS!!!! We stayed in the MGM Grand and the first night we had a suite. It was AWESOME! Then we had to move to a regular room, but outside our window we had a awesome view of New York New York. For the next couple of days we walked around, swam, saw shows, and had fun. Las Vagas and the Grand Canyon was one of the best trips ever!! I had sooooo much fun.

THE GRAND CANYON

For our vacation a while ago, we went to the Grand Canyon. The first day we walked around and were stunned by the canyon. On the second day we rode down the Grand Canyon on mules. my mules name was Smirfy. It was terrifing. The path was really small and the drop was really big! I was the first one since I was the youngest. I was behind the rangler who was testing out a new mule who spooked really easily so the made me even more nervous. And to top it all off at the very beginning when I was the most scared, we saw 2 deer in our path. The rangler said that they like to run inbetween the mules so we had to keep our mules really close together. My mule was being really sturborn and wouldn't get close enough to the other mule in front of me. Thank god the deer ran away but I was still terrified. Once we got to the bottom we had lunch on a peak over looking the Colorodo river. It was a 6 hour hike on a sturborn mules back and once you got off the mule it feels like your legs are molded to the mules back and you can't move them. It was great and I don't think I am afraid of heights anymore!! Oh and just to let you know these people on the mules are not us it was a pic on the internet. It is just to give you an idea of how high we were : )

Concert Update

Our concert was good. And of course we were last so it took a long time until we went. It was a little boring. Then we finally went. I stood next to one of my friends who is a little taller than me but not that much. Well she was wearing a little heel, so I felt really short. The whole time I was standing on my tippy toes. On the first song we were pretty quiet but then we got better. While we were waiting for our turn my dad told our chours teacher what I said about her in my blog, how she was nice and funny. She said I was going to get a 100 in her class. There is nothing wrong with sucking up.

Chours Concert

I have a chours concert tonight!!! I think this is our third this year. I really like chours because I like to sing and our teacher is really nice and funny. We are singing Send Down The Rain,(that one is my favorite) Da Pachem, Sing a Song of Sixpence, The Water is Wide, and Over The Sea To Sky. I have a while until it starts so I am kind of anxious right now. BYE!!!! I will tell you how it went when I get back................or the next time I can.

Syesha Mercado

This year on American Idol it has come down to the top 3, David Cook, David Archueta, and Syesha Mercado. I think each one of them is really talented and I really like them all but, I think Syesha Mercado is amazing. She has such a beautiful voice and she is a good actress too. I really liked it when she sang " One Rock And Roll Too Many," she did really good in that one. If anyone of you don't watch the show, the preformances are on Tuesday and the results are on Wednesday on FOX. I am glad Syesha has made it this far and Hope she gets even farther. I followed her from the start. She was my favorite from the beginning. Her voice is amazing.

Lilly

This is my pretty kitty Lilly. We had gotten her last Summer and we all love her. She is the funniest, cutest and smartest cat I have ever met. My dog had died last December and I missed her a lot and I needed another animal. My parents didn't want a dog right away because we aren't home enough to take it for walks and let it out, so I really wanted a kitten. There was only one problem though, my mom is alergic to cats. We knew there was a lady that lived down the street that did cat rescued and my mom told me we could go talk to her. After a long time of waiting on our home we saw her working outside and we asked her about the idea of having a cat. At that time she was fostering Lilly, the one that was really hyper and another cat that was calm but needed medicine every day. of course I like the hyper one, (Lilly) and we worked it out that we would take Lilly for a week and if my mom wasn't having huge reactions we would keep her. My mom was fine with Lilly. Every once and a while she will have a small reaction, but only because she was proably holding Lilly or she was close to her face. Lilly has been great and we all love her.

Mothers Day!!!!

Today is Mothers Day if you didn't know already. This morning for my mom we made her home made waffles from our waffle iron and put strawberry yogurt and blueberries on top. ( I made the waffles.) We put the food on a tray and brought it up to her room there she was sleeping. (or so she claims to be.) We each gave her our presents. I got her a picture frame that held 5 pictures in it and took pictures of flowers and put it in the holes. She really liked it. My brother got her a CD. We all went downstairs to eat breakfast and my dad pulled out the last gift that we all chipped in for. It was a necklace with rubies in a curved line hanging down. Then we all ate my DELICIOUS waffles and then went to church. It was a good morning. Now my mom went to take my brother to his soccer game so me and my dad will probably make dinner and decorate the dinning room. Happy Mothers Day to all you moms!
