Finally

I haven't posted in forever, so to catch up, here's a little summary of what's been happening:

Schools been goin good, and we just got out for Winter Break (YAY!!)

My sister, Coco, got the keys to her house, and we are in the process of painting it (which is fun)

My nephew, Talmage, is addicted to presents and my jacket, and is very healthy

We decorated for Christmas- 10 Christmas trees, reefs, and Christmas lights- with gingerbread houses

The Pep-Rally I was in turned out amazing,

And to end my list, I would like to say that guitar class was fun, I graduated from it with an A.

So today, I went to my sister's house to help paint. It was my sister and I painting, while my two little sisters were playing with Talmage in his room. Faith and Gabby got bored very quickly, so we took them home, and Coco, Talmage and I came back. Coco asked me to go behind the refrigorater to paint, so I gratefully squeezed back there and started my job. I bent over to get the bottom of the wall, when I hit my butt on the freshly painted corner. I got half of my butt covered in blue paint. I started laughing and Coco finally caught on to what I was laughing at.

A while later, I was entertaning Talmage while Coco finished the kitchen touch ups, when Talmage got the idea to play with some plastic in which Coco's phones had been in. It was clear, so I could see his face smooshed against the edge of the plastic, trying to fit it in his mouth. After a few tries, he gave up and cried for his nucky.

We got home that night, and were waiting for our dad to come through the front door, holding 3 pizza's from Papa John's. So while were waiting, we watched Cars, the movie. Talmage was not satisfied with the movie, so he headed toward the Christmas tree, where presents were awaiting to be opened. As soon as he got over there, he sat up straight, and started grabbing them one by one, tossing them behind him, as if he didn' like them. I hurry and grabbed him before he could throw any more. I held him as if I was rocking him to sleep, and then spun him around about 6 times. I put him in crawling possision, but he couldn't rawl staright. Coco and I bursted into laughter. I had never seen a baby do that before! I did it a few more times for the fun of it, and he enjoyed it.

I couldn't get the image of his big eyes, little smile, and cute round nose out of my head. He is the cutest lil thing!!!! I'm gunna miss havin him around, but they will be visiting. I just know it.

Fall Break

Monday through Wednesday, I babysat for the Pearson's. We mainly watched Country Bears, Care Bears, and Casper the Friendly Ghost while coloring in My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop coloring books, and eating apple sauce. They have 3 kids. Jordyn (5), Kol (4), and Payton (almost 2). On Tuesday, I went to my friend, Alise's house, after babysitting, and we had our Sunshine Generation group, and we went to Muchual. For Muchual, we had to wear our PJ's, so I had my Snoopy boxers over my blue jeans, and a red shirt. We worked in our Personal Progress books and laughed at random, stupid things. On Wednesday, I went to the sunshine Generation group again, but this time, Ashton and I stayed at Alise's house till her mom got home. We were cheering on the side of her house, which was really fun. Then, Ashton and I went to my house to grab my stuff for a sleep over. We watched Indiana Jones 4, scared each other with stories, went on the computer, and ate Marshmallow cereal till 1:00 a.m. We went to bed, but didn't fall asleep. We stayed up talking about anything to everything till 3:00 and then we were out. We woke up the next morning around 9:00 and went downstairs to eat. We ate the same Marshmallow cereal that we had the night before, and we went on the computer for a while. Then we went to Savers, Kohl's, Taco Bell (yummy), and Home Depot. I got 2 pairs of PJ pants at Savers, and they are Christmas Sponge Bob and pink Happy Bunny. At Kohl's, I got a green and a orange shirt with a striped under shirts, a Muppet 'Life Is Like A Movie' shirt, and a black with different shades of blue striped shirt. We went home, and had a sleep over at my house. We sleep on the trampoline in my backyard. We ate graham crackers, found constellations, and saw some shooting stars. It was really cool. In both ways. We didn't go to bed till about 1:30. It got really cold at about 12:00, so we went inside, and got a couple more blankets and jackets. We woke up at 5:00 and went inside. We were watching Jo Jo's Circus with my nephew, Talmage, and I fell asleep. I never found out if Ashton had fallen asleep, but we were tired. We finally woke up for real at 7:30, and we ate Rice Krispies Chocolate-Vanilla. It was tasty. We went outside, after eating, and played Apples to Apples with my little sisters, Faith and Gabby, and then she had to go home at 9:30 a.m. At about 2:00 p.m., my friend Courtney came over, and we walked around the subdivisions and elementary school. We went home and talked with Joey until her mom came to pick her up, and then I had to go inside.

This week has been fun so far, and I have Monday off also. I kind of have plans, but they have not been approved by my parents. I am certainly not looking forward to going back to school, but there is only one thing that is getting me ready to go back. The feeling of loneliness with out all my buddies there by my side.

Pull Ups

I was in the den with my mom and older sister, my mom sitting at her computer, my sister at her laptop, and me on the floor. My sister through one of the pull ups she was saving for Talmage, at me. She told me to keep it, so I put them on over my pants. Then my sister got the idea of putting dots on my face and going over to our neighbors house, like my little sister did, and saying, "Do you have a friend I can play with?"

Story behind this- when we first moved to Queen Creek, my littlest sister, Gabby, wanted to see if there was a next door neighbor girl that she could play with. Before she went over, she put red polka dots all over her body.

So Coco, my older sister, put purple polka dots all over my face and neck. We went over, and our neighbor, Melanie, said, " Ugh....no." in a really funny voice. My mom and Coco were standing behind their front bush laughing to the sight of a 12 year old wearing a pull up. When my mom first said to go over and do that, I said no, and I finally gave in. It was one of those times were your thinking, why me? ,but then think, ok I'll do it. Hopefully no friends are chillen out front. Thanks to Coco and my mom, we had our dose of laughter.

Finally Fall Break

School has been pretty fun, but thank goodness it's Fall Break! I have been doing ok in all but one class. I didn't finish a report, so I got a bad grade on my report card. I will do better next quarter. For Fall Break, I plan on hanging out with friends, and that's about it. My older sister, Coco, and her little family went up to Pinetop/Lakeside till Monday, and it is so quiet here! I miss them. I have been hanging out with my brother a lot lately, and this afternoon, we went to Taco Bell and I got the new Frutista Strawberries 'n' Creme. It was really sweet. We came home and hung out until m mom came home.

My New Style....?

I was sitting at the computer, typing my friends, when my sister comes over and says, "Can I do your make up?" I said sure, so she put lots of eye liner, some blush, and loads of eye shadow on me.




Then she thought it would be fun to do my hair. So she ratted my hair, put Aussie hair spray in it, and used bobby pins to put up the back. I looked a little scary at first, but i ended up liking the make up. But my mother, Bobbi Jo, wasn't.


A big thanks to Coco Lucas for the effort and time she put into making me look really funny!!!

School Dance

On Friday, the 26, was the first school dance of this year. It was ok, not the best, but it was good enough that I had a good time. We had a DJ, a mini colorful disco ball, and most of my friends were there. Hopefully, the next dance will be better, and maybe have better food.

Twilight Series

You have probably heard of the Twilight Series, there are 4 books out right now, the 4th just came out in August. My brother read the first 2, and I am planning on reading the 1st one. I have heard they are really good, but I have also heard that they aren't the best. I'm taking my brother and cousin's advise, and reading them. They have both said that they are really good, and they also said that they are excited to see the movie. I probably won't be done with all 4 of them when it comes out, but I will try.
