Christmas!!!!!!!

Yesterday was Christmas, and it was very fun.


Amy got this game called Guitar Hero, and everyone got into it.
Allyson and Dad. (Dad won't say it, but he's hooked.)
Brian and David(and Lauron).
Julie and Angel rocking out!
Loretta and Allyson were jammin'.

(Mind you all, these pictures were all taken courtesy of Camille, my wonderful, new pink digital friend.)


(My camera I got for Christmas.)

Hooray for Thanksgiving!

I really like Thanksgiving. It's fun and the family(or most of it) gets together. Dinner is always good. Plus, it means it's almost my birthday! And Syd's birthday was yesterday. She's one! Oh my gosh! (The only bad thing was that I was limping around because I hurt my ankle.) Happy Birthday, Syd!

What Can I Say? I Like Ice Cream....

You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

You are kind, popular, and generous. You tend to be successful at anything you try. A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd. You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream.

What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?

Mom, Pay Attention Now............

You Should Own a Beagle

Low maintenance, very friendly, and sturdy.

What Kind of Dog Should You Have?

This proves it! We need a dog!

Well, It IS My Favorite Planet.........

You Are From Jupiter

You are exuberantly curious - and you love to explore newness. Enthusiastic and optimistic, you get a kick out of stimulating intellectual discussions. Foreign cultures and languages fascinate you. You love the outdoors, animals, and freedom. Chances are you tend to exaggerate, so try to keep a lid on that. If you do, you'll continue to be known for your confidence, generosity, and sense of justice.

What Planet Are You From?

Bensons! Yea!

I got to babysit the Bensons tonight. And yes, mom, I did end up enjoying it. Although I sincerely doubt that I'll be able to talk for the rest of the night. (I read Jared 2 1/2 Magic Tree House books while Avery was napping. That's right, 2 1/2!)
When Avery woke up, I called mom to see if she and Allyson and Syd wanted to go to the park with us. They said they did, so we got ready to walk down to Broadbent Park. Well, I thought we were walking. But once Jared was done in the bathroom, they went outside and hopped on their bikes! Avery has a little tricycle and Jared has a bike with training wheels.
We rode/walked down to the park. Mom and Ally weren't there yet, so they started playing. After a while they came. Turns out I was supposed to wait for them and we would walk down together. I thought we were meeting them there.
I remember thinking, What a small world. Because guess who came riding down the street on a pink scooter, with Grandma D. far behind? That's right. Nathan.
Well, he and Jared played together really well. I went up to Grandma and said,"I found you a friend for Nathan."
So then we walked back and Brother Benson got home and took me home. Then me and mom(and dad..... sorta) watched You've Got Mail.
Then we went to bed.
THE END.

4 DAY WEEKEND! HOORAH! HOORAH!

Four day weekend! whoo hoo!
I'm soooooo happy that we have one. Cuz' school is boring.
Plus, it's almost Thanksgiving! (That also means almost my birthday...wink wink) But Amy's coming home for Thanksgiving! Hoorah!

Primary Program Blues

I'm scared. The Primary Program is today and I'm singing. All by myself. Luckily it's just one verse. But still..... Aaaaagghhhhh!

Chili Cook Off, Halloween Carnival and Cake Auction(Yummmm!)

Last night was the wonderful everything you read above! Allyson made the coolest cake. It was a volcano(see Ally's blog for pictures). Also, Dad entered the paper airplane flying contest and won the ward-famous Gloria Miller flan cake! The carnival was fun too. Some people even guessed correctly what Bohdees was!(Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She had a sharpened stick that was her "stake".)

Bored,Bored, Bored

So I'm sitting here a the computer, being, as Amy and Abby would put it, a "Bumptsty" or something. So now I will be downstairs. Goodbye.

I got to babysit the Bensons' tonight and they were perfect, adorable little angels, as always. I read probably six(or more) books to them. But they are the best kids(sorry Julie, children) ever. Jared says the longest prayers in the world, but they are so cute. Then there's Avery who just sits there sucking her thumb and looking cute. I practically had to wrench it out her mouth so she would eat her enchilada(which were delicious, by the way). It's always an adventure a the Bensons'!

Congrats to Manda, Ivan, Isabel and Asher!

Speaking of Asher, Congratulations to Manda and Ivan! We have received a new cousin(or 2nd cousin, I don't know) into our family! Hooray! (I love new cousins. But then when I try to explain whose baby it is it just confuses my friends but I don't care!:)

Random Info Post

So, here I am, sitting at home with nothing to do. I have nothing interesting to say. Well, except tell everyone what everyone else is being for Halloween. (I LOVE Halloween. Sorry, but I just do!)
Bohdees- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Julie- A gothic person(?)
Me- medieval woman
Mom- ? I don't know
Dad- Magnum P.I. (Hooray!)
Savannah- she's not sure but she's narrowed it down to a hippie or a make-up addict(I'm rooting for the make-up addict!)
Becca- a scarecrow(although she said that if someone wanted to, she'd be Thing 1 and Thing 2 with them:)
Baby Syd- Minnie Mouse(so cute!)
Tyler- Peter Pan
Asher Samuel(new baby cousin)- Peter Pan also
Manda- Wendy possibly
Susan and Aubrey- a bee on a flower
If I forgot you or got your costume wrong, comments welcome!

Cleocatra

As I'm sure you all know, Cleocatra, our beloved cat, has died. I'm not exactly sure how to say this, but all I can say is that I loved her. No other cat could compare to her personality. She was family and I'll always miss her.



(This is me and Cleo when I was little. I was surprised to see how much she had grown since this picture. I vaguely remember taking this picture. I think this is, as Son-Son puts it, 'documented proof' of how much I loved this cat.)

Amy, just know that I would love to come down there and visit you. I would, but no one would ever drive me. Maybe I'll tag along some weekend when dad goes up there:)

Maybe I'm a little obsessed with changing the template. But they get boring!!!
P.S. I like this one better than both of them.

Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, people, you've taught me a lesson. When I wasn't posting for that long stretch I know how you felt. So post! Now! People who need to:
1. Bohdees
2. Sarah
Maybe there's more but I haven't finished checking! So beware!!!!!

I Miss You!

This post is dedicated to Amy.
I miss you more than you could ever dream of, Amy. Sometimes when school gets boring I think of you and my eyes fill with tears. Thank you for being supportive of me and putting up with me.
It's just not the same here without you. Some days I'll come downstairs in the morning and almost say hello to you, even though you're not here. After the nights when mom says prayer and dad asks whose turn it is, I wish that I could say Amy and that you would be here to say it.
I love you so much. Too much to even comprehend.

Like the new look?

Fun

T-Bone and Bowski with green tongues!
Syd being just a little spelunker.

I put Syd on the computer table and this is what she typed for me!

Cuteness Times Sixteen

Look at this Syd! Adorable! I don't even think she means to be cute. I think it just happens:)

You can tell I'm not good at this yet...

Okay, I didn't know what this picture was,(I thought I was putting a picture of Aubrey on) so take a look! It is a cool picture, by the way. I think it's Fairview. Anyone with info please leave a comment on this post!!!!

Alias Addicted

I think my parents are addicted to Alias. Heck, my whole family is addicted to it(not including me) Note: It's the only show that if I even perchance see anything funny on I don't tell anyone who'll listen! I mean, B-Syd is even named after Sydney Bristow. What the heck people?

Movies I could watch again and again!

In case anyone's interested, I could watch these movies over and over:
1. Balto
2. A Bug's Life
3. The Little Mermaid

I Hate Cold! Alot!

The daddy daughter camp out was this weekend. Dad took me and Julie. It was fun riding up there because we were gonna sleep in the car so the seats were all folded down. We just rode up there on the floor! When we got there, however, it was pouring down rain. Soon after it started hailing. Julie, Becca and I took refuge in the car. When I got out again Savannah had arrived! She and I went to the car too and we all four sat in there and talked for like an hour! We went to sleep. At about four thirty this morning, dad woke up and told us we were going home. So we did! It was a rainy, cold adventure featuring three jackets for each of us and no umbrellas!

Here It Is

So, people keep telling me to update, so here it is!

DISNEYLAND RULES!

OK, OK, maybe I'm just a little obsessed with Disneyland. But then again, who isn't? I love going there. It truly is the happiest place on Earth. When we go there, it is fun and exciting. I just love the feeling of being there!
We also went to the Crystal Cove Beach. There were tide pools. How cool is that? Unfortunately, the came in before I had a chance to see much of them. Boedies and I both got buried in the sand up to our necks. Tyler kept trying to scrape the sand off of Boedies as I was burying her. I got a little frustrated at him. Sorry 'bout that, Kiddo.

The Salee Miller Files

I will probably not update this a lot, so get used to it! By the way, it's said like sally, not Saely.
