(the picture for the album cover was a necklace he wore every day)

School Stuff..

2011-03-20T16:29:00.000-07:00

I sang the national anthem at a grizzlies hockey game!!! With a bunch of other kids from my school but still.:) The three advanced choirs get to go and compete and different things throughout the year, but one of the fun things we get to do is this. We got to go sing, see some players, and watch the hockey game for free! It was more entertaining than i thought it would be when they started fighting:) weird i know but i liked it!! the pictures are of my friend devyn and i, and all the choirs together outside of the building.

Technically it's not my birthday until tomorrow, but we celebrated it as a family yesterday and today. Yesterday we went to my Grandma's for Mother's Day and my Birthday, and had cake and ice cream. Tonight after my voice recital we went to my favorite resturaunt Tepanyaki! It was sooooo good! On Saturday, Mom and I went to Inkley's to get pictures printed. While we were there we were looking at camera's, and now I know my present now! :) Here's a picture of it! I'm so excited, it's waterproof!

Hail!

2009-05-03T19:14:00.000-07:00

Earlier today it was bright, sunny, and felt good outside.... now it's hailing!!! We just got home from our Grandma Cox's and we couldn't even see the road it was hailing so hard. There's lightning and thunder too!! Oh I wish it was summer, I was going to wear shorts tomorrow, but now I really don't think I'm going to all week. :( I hate cold weather!

Registration

2009-04-22T17:13:00.000-07:00

I registrated for Legacy Junior High tonight... I'm happy and sad. I'll have to leave my new friends at Central, and I won't see them until high school. But, I get to see my old friends from Sand Springs there so ya... I've been to four Elementary's and two Junior High's while living in the same house uggh.

Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-04-06T10:52:00.000-07:00

IT IS FINALLY SPRING BREAK!!!!! Oh my gosh I'm so happy now! Well, sort of... we don't get to go anywhere for it, but Ciera is in California for school right now. I'm hopefully going rockwall climbing tommorrow though! Hopefully we'll go somewhere fun during the summer instead.

Finally!

2009-03-29T14:56:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally remembered about the pictures Jeanette took when they were here. I just thought I'd put on my favorite one, so here it is! This was before my haircut.

Solo and Ensemble

2009-03-21T21:24:00.000-07:00

More about Ciera :) She sang a song for solo and ensemble, and found out yesterday she was the only one from Layton High to go to state!! Out of everyone! She went to sing for the state competition at Weber and did well. She's awesome!

Show Boat

2009-03-21T21:21:00.000-07:00

I just got home from Layton High's Musical "Show Boat"!! Ciera was in it and it was AMAZING!!!!!! She was one of the Chorus. I love that show and especially the music, good job Ciera!

Book

2009-03-12T15:52:00.000-07:00

I've been reading "The Naming" this week (my mom told me to read it) and if you're looking for a good book, read it!! Oh my gosh I love it!! I'm not done with it yet but it's a series and that is what I'm going to be reading til I am done! Nothing else! :)

Awww!!

2009-03-04T18:22:00.000-08:00

Sweethearts

2009-02-22T09:24:00.000-08:00

For the Sweethearts dance the Mahaffey's came from Missouri. Ciera had SUCH a good time! She just keeps on looking at the pictures, saying I want that week back. It was a really fun Valentines Day. Thanks Sumner, Mara, and Jeanette for coming to Utah! It was awesome!

Haircut!!!

2009-02-22T09:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I got my hair cut! I love it! When we get the pictures downloaded I'll put some on here.

Fish

2009-02-08T14:09:00.000-08:00

Saturday, my dad, jensen, my grandpa, cassie, and I went ice fishing at mantuea! It was so much fun! I caught nine fish (that we could keep). I felt bad for Jensen though, he went all day without catching something, then he got a giant rainbow but as he was pulling it out of the hole, it got off. We had fun anyway though!

Comparisons

2009-02-05T18:47:00.000-08:00

I was looking at some pictures of our cats when we first got them and now! They were so tiny! Here's two pictures of Smokey. One when we first got him and the other is his most recent. (The other cat in the picture is Oreo) By the way I took that picture when he was little and I love it to death! I love the way the sun is on him, and how his shadow looks.

I was wrong...

2009-02-01T19:52:00.000-08:00

Well the Steelers won. I wish the Cardinals could have! It was a close game. I bet you anything school will be loud tommorrow about the game!

"Pre-" Superbowl

2009-02-01T14:48:00.000-08:00

Just thought I should let everyone know that I'm predicting the Cardinals will win the Superbowl!!! Go Cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!

14 month burger fast :)

2009-02-01T14:39:00.000-08:00

My dad has been on a burger fast for 14 months! He and I went to Pocatello yesterday to end it. He had heard about a place called "Big Jud's" that had a HUMONGOUS hamburger and he wanted to end his fast with it. So we drove for two and a half hours just to get that hamburger in Idaho. We get there and we can't find it! We stopped at a Maverik and asked for directions. The lady there said "Oh, we don't have one here anymore. The nearest one is at Twin Falls" Ahhhh!!!!! So we drove all the way back to Utah, went to the big Maddox to eat (the fancy one), and drove home. Even though we didn't get the burger it was fun to drive there with just him and me! So next Saturday we're going to Twin Falls... Just kidding! We'll go some other time.

16!!! AHH

2009-01-20T16:08:00.000-08:00

Ciera is now officially 16. It is way scary! She can drive without an adult and can take family places but not friends. She was elected royalty (2nd attendant) for the Sweethearts dance, and a family friend from St. Louis is coming at that time so they're going to it together! Her dress is BEAUTIFUL! She looks like Cinderella. I'm so jealous!

Birds

2009-01-05T17:53:00.000-08:00

We put out more bird seed the other day in the backyard. The birds eat out of that and on the tall grass in the backyard too. They're puffy and fat, they are so cute!

New Years

2009-01-02T08:25:00.000-08:00

This year we had New Years at our house. We ate, watched t.v., listened to music, and I slept! I fell asleep on the couch at 10:45, and my dad woke me up when they were counting down for the ball to drop. Then I went to bed. (That morning I had fallen asleep at 3 a.m.! I was at a sleepover) I was really tired.

Christmas

2009-01-02T08:17:00.000-08:00

Christmas was so much fun! My two favorite things I got were an exercise ball and a new ipod! I know an exercise ball seems pretty weird to ask for, but Elliot showed me how fun they can be when we went to Arizona! The ipod is a new ipod nano, it's pink and when you shake it, the songs shuffle and the song changes! Also, when you put it on its side the screen flips. I love them both! :)

Only hours to go!!

2008-12-22T19:56:00.000-08:00

Now it is 51 more hours until Christmas!!!!!!!! I'm SOOO Excited!!!!! Christmas music, decorations, and shows!!! (By the way, my clock below this is wrong)

School's Out!

2008-12-19T16:13:00.000-08:00

Today we are finally on Christmas break! No more school for the rest of the year! And when we're back at school I can say that I haven't been to school since last year. I'm so excited for Christmas! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yay!

Still Snowing

2008-12-19T16:11:00.000-08:00

It is still snowing!! I'm so happy! Minus the cold I love everything about winter. Snow is probably the best thing that can fall from the sky! I hate rain and hail! Tommorrow I will probably be making an igloo with Jensen in the backyard!

Ciera's Concert

2008-12-16T20:15:00.001-08:00

Yesterday night was Ciera's concert. She's in Lace so they did the program that we get to see every year in elementary school. It was really good! Jensen and I think that her group sounded the best. Right now she's in Temple Square singing with Lace (her group), Lyrics, and Laytones.

Sorry!

2008-12-15T17:18:00.000-08:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've been way busy! The camera didn't work to put pictures on the computer, so we'll try to figure that out. Well I got to go to Ciera's concert now. I'll try to post when I get home!

Funny Duck

2008-11-05T14:58:00.000-08:00

I was looking through our pictures from August and I found this one! We were at the park and we found this duck who looked like he had hair! look at the fluffy stuff all around his head! Jensen and I thought it looked like a white wig on him!

Snowy Sunday!

2008-10-21T15:41:00.000-07:00

This is a video of October 12th 2008! It really did snow a lot! (For October)

Braces

2008-10-20T14:52:00.000-07:00

On November 17th I'm getting braces! I'm excited though because I don't like my teeth. I told one of my friends and they said "Brace Face, Metal Mouth, TIN GRIN!!!" Ha ha! I wonder what I'll look like.

Snow!!!

2008-10-11T11:07:00.000-07:00

YES!!! It's gonna snow today!! I've been waiting for snow all year! Haha! I'm so excited for Christmas!!! Only 75 more days!!!! SNOW! I'm so excited I've even started getting on YouTube and watching all these Christmas video's! This is a picture of last winter.

Arizona!

2008-10-11T11:04:00.000-07:00

This year we get to go to Arizona for Thanksgiving! I am so excited! Last time my family went to Arizona I wasn't even born! It was just my dad, mom, and Ciera. Yay!

Awesome Shoe!!

2008-09-23T15:34:00.000-07:00

Look at the awesome shoe that was in the newspaper a while ago! Its a "Monopoly Board Shoe"! The shoe looks like the board and the laces are dice! They're awesome!

Ciera's Homecoming week

2008-09-20T12:07:00.000-07:00

Ciera came home from a homecoming activity this week looking like this! She was COVERED in paint!!! I'm excited for when I'm in highschool! :)

......

2008-09-07T11:10:00.000-07:00

:( I'm sick today :( I don't feel good at all! I have a cold, a sore throat, and a headache. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Jr. High...

2008-08-31T20:14:00.000-07:00

Jr. High started on Monday. WOW. It is a lot different than elementary. Right now I still like elementary school better but hopefully it will get better. Bye!

My Toe :(

2008-08-18T18:48:00.001-07:00

OW!!! Today I was at Syaracuse Jr. High with my cousin. We were coming inside from the portables and as the door was closing it ripped off about a fourth of my toenail! It hurts SOOO bad! OUCH!

SLEEPOVER!!!!!!

2008-08-17T19:54:00.000-07:00

I'm having a sleepover with my cousin Beth!!!! We're going to watch the movie Summer Magic and eat candy! Ha Ha! Check out her blog at bethtalksalot.blogspot.com

Trooper

2008-08-17T15:06:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of my kitty Trooper! She has always been funny since the day we got her, so here's a funny picture of what she's doing right now! I saw something on T.V. that said that when they're laying on their back (like this) that means they're relaxed. She must be relaxed all the time because she's on her back all the time! Her real name is Trooper but we just call her kitty all the time! The funny thing is, since we always call her that she only listens to us when we call her Kitty! I love her!

Olympics

2008-08-16T19:16:00.000-07:00

We're watching the Olympics right now! If I could do anything in the Olympics that I wanted and be good at it, I would either do swimming or gymnastics! I can't beleive that Michael Phelps won by 1/100 of a second!! WOW! I like what Google has been doing for the Olympics! Everyday they write google in something to do with the Olympics! Look at the picture I have! It was the first picture they had on for it! It looks so cool!

School-- blah

2008-08-16T19:09:00.000-07:00

Can you beleive that school starts in 9 more days?! I'm scared out of my pants for Jr. High! I got my classes on the 14th. It looks like my favorite class is going to be spanish because I have a good teacher! I'm so scared!!!

I cut my hair!

2008-08-12T18:50:00.000-07:00

I cut my hair last week! It's a lot shorter than it was but I like it better this way! It feels good! Here's a picture of it before I cut it.

6th, 7th, and 8th days of our Vacation! (the last)

2008-07-27T15:12:00.000-07:00

On Friday we left for Bear Lake!!!!! I was the only one of my family who hadn't been there before. It is HUGE! We spent the day at the beach, we tried out our raft, swam, and built a sandcastle! I love Bear Lake! When we were in our raft we kept on floating backward instead of forward so Jensen finally just turned the boat backwards and we went forward! We swam for a long time and then Ciera, Jensen, and I built a sandcastle. When we were done with the sandcastle we went over to a place where you can scoop up handfuls of pure seashells, and we covered our sandcastle with them! We dried off and went to our hotel. On Saturday we went back to the lake and rented a boat, we went tubing and knee boarding! I'm a wimp, I screamed the whole way for them to slow down or stop! (they didn't listen to me) I still loved it anyway! Ciera and I got burns our elbows and knees. After that we drove for three hours through Idaho and part of Wyoming 'til we got to Jackson Hole! There we went to a river rafting place and we rafted down the Snake River! On the ride we saw twelve eagles, cows, a beaver within 6ft. of us, other different types of birds, and LOTS of mosquitos!!! It was really fun! After that we drove around Jackson looking for a hotel to stay in, but all of them said "No Vacancy" so we had to drive to Idaho falls! By the time we got there it was 2:00 in the morning and, all of us kids were in the back laying on top of each other asleep. We walked to our room and instantly fell asleep! In the morning we took the 3 and a half hour drive back to Layton and here we are! Well thats the end of our trip!

5th day of Vacation

2008-07-27T15:08:00.000-07:00

On Thursday we had a semi stay at home day. We were home all day until 6:30 and then we went to the Ogden Pioneer Day Rodeo! I had never been to a rodeo before so I was excited! We stayed until 11:00 p.m. and then went home! I LOVED the rodeo! It looks so scary but it's fun to watch!

Third and Fourth days of Vacation

2008-07-24T13:29:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday we went to Salt Lake all day! We went shopping at Gateway and I got a new shirt! Then we saw Kung Fu Panda! Later at night we went to the Bee's game and my brother and I got our bats signed by Chris Walker #14! The Bee's lost but it was a fun game anyway!
Wednesday was amazing!! We spent the whole day in Ogden at the Salomon Center. First we got an all day pass to go to iRock! (rock climbing) Then after that we watched the surfers go on Flowrider! After that we walked to an Italian resturaunt and ate some of the best food I've ever had! Then we went back to the Salomon Center and did iFly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS BEYOND ANY GOOD WORD YOU CAN FIND!!!!! It was indoor skydiving! You had an instruction class before you did it and then you got in a tunnel that's vertical and air is blown up to you at 60mph! Then you get in on your stomach and are floating through air!! I did it with my brother and sister!

First and Second days of our vacation

2008-07-21T18:48:00.000-07:00

This year for our family vacation we are doing things here in Utah. We will be staying overnight at places 2 times, but for all the other days we'll be coming back home at night. Yesterday (Sunday) we went to Heber and stayed in the Homestead hotel overnight. Today (Monday) after we had breakfast we went swimming at the hotel. We checked out and went to Park City. We got to go down the Alpine slide! Then we went down a zipline they had there that went down the mountain! Before we went on it we were waiting in line and I thought I was going to die! We kept on hearing people yelling as they went down and you couldn't see them when they went down because of the doors they had there. When I finally went on it I had my hands up almost the whole time! We left there and went shopping at the Outlets in Park City. After that we went to Coldstone and got ice cream! Then we left for Salt Lake City to go see a Bee's game! When we finally got to Salt Lake we found out that they weren't playing tonight. So we headed home, and here I am! I'm so tired! Post more tomorrow!!

Family Vacation!

2008-07-18T21:53:00.000-07:00
