What's really fun...

It's really fun when you have people over for the night and you start Just Dancing. Jessica, Hannah, Rebecca, and Helen were awesome at dancing. We got some amazing videos that I have to figure out how to upload on my computer (too long). Then I go to check the clock...oops. It was already one. Stayed up for a few more hours after that. And played Curses when we remembered between conversations. :)Then I went baby-sitting today. I'll be suffering from lack of sleep soon... :)

Two of the new Starfishes

{Mae: she has a cleft lip and I really like her name. Partly because Mae is a family name}

Amanda went and got 7 new babies from the "Big O" a couple of weeks ago. 

They are so cute! Counting down the days until I get to see them. 

I did just get my passport picture, so we can get my application in soon. 

{Robyn: she has a cleft lip too and is so cute! I saw her in this outfit 

and thought "hmm... that looks familiar." Wonder why?}

Figured out. Mia wore that outfit tons while I was there because I put it on her tons. :)

Yum...

I'm going to eat a gazillion of these when I go back. It'll be my birthday treat. :) 

The custard ones are the best.

Funniest video ever...

Things I'm already missing about summer...

1. blue skies (we seem to lack those in Oregon)

2. random trips to the beach with friends

3. no school

4. girls' camp

5. hanging out with friends all of the time since they don't have school

6. flip flops (i feel like i can never find a pair of socks!)

7. being able to wear short sleeves without having to find a sweater to match my outfit

8. just sitting around doing almost nothing

Cookie Time!!

Today Makayla came over and we made ginger snap cookies for personal progress. We learned something cool: the reason why you chill cookie dough is so your cookies are fluffier. The house smells good now and we have some yummy cookies. The best thing about ginger snaps: when you burn them they still taste good because all the spices drown out the burntness.

Promised picture from Disneyland...

Here's me with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. My one regret in life: not getting a better picture of me with him. Rapunzel had to ruin it all. :)

Unified Sports

{the girls on my basketball team: Jo, Me, Sayla, Jasmine, Beth, Jensen, & Emilee}

 I have the opportunity of doing this awesome thing called Unified Sports. I started at the beginning of this year doing basketball, which I have no talent at. All the kids on the teams are so sweet and are so nice to each other. I had so much fun and made new friends. The best part: no one judges you for how you play. I decided to do soccer this fall because that is something I'm a lot better at and I felt like I could contribute more. Emilee and Sophia did it with me and it was a blast. My team (your worst nightmare) was amazing. I hope I'll be able to do it next year. I love watching them all play and they play really well. Some of them have an amazing foot. 

{this is Jasmine. she was on my basketball team and is the sweetest cheerleader ever even when they won't let her play because of her wheelchair}

Do you know what's gross...

When you are cleaning out your room and going through your old toys that you still keep and find that a gross bug has been making one of them it's home. Ugly fat larva in my stuff= not cool. On a side note: I'm super proud of myself for not screaming my head off. What's extra sad is that is one expensive belonging of mine. :(

Love this video...

Love this...

Halloween 2011

 My "starfish" pumpkin

Halloween this year was super dooper fun. I started off the day by going to piano early (not so fun). Then I got to go get my hair cut (fun:pictures to come). Then there was crazy stuff that I don't remember...and the awesome Halloween dinner at Hannah's house. After that we came up to my house to go trick-or-treating. Emma, Hannah, the Knaupps, and the Woodwards joined us this year. Lilly lasted for about one street before she admitted that she wanted to go home and was done. Elise lasted a little longer after that. I was a cowgirl this year. Just used the outfit I wore to the trek kick-off and added a hat. Simple costumes rock. 

 Hannah: Kaya (an american girl doll that's an indian)

 Elise (sailor sweetie)

 Autumn (Mary Poppins)

Lilly (little bo peep)

this was my personal favorite cuz it included spray painting my dad's cane

Chloe (poodle skirt girl)
