snow fort

these are some pictures of some fun times we had in the snow. 2 of them are pictures of our snow fort that we made. it was really, really, really, huge! we had lots of fun. at first i thought, oh, wow! i just love the snow! i wish it could be here forever! but now i am starting to think hmm....maybe i shouldn't wished that... because now it seems that it is starting to come true(the snow is still here from like, 2 weeks ago ).... and its kind of getting annoying....:( but, anyways, the snow is still ok. :)

im getting tired of the snow

i am goin' to be so excited when summer comes. i am getting sick of the snow, and i have nothing to do because of it. i don't really like spring, because i have allergies then. and its already starting to happen! my mom says thats because the snow is melting. but i still can't wait for summer because i love the heat! :] the cold-its the worst temp./season(which is winter) ever for me. again-i am getting really tired of the snow.

saturday(the 20th)

on the night of the 20th, after my dad picked me up from my friends house,our ward had our adult dance. the 10-11 year olds got to baby-sit all the little kids while the moms and dads had the dance. it was super duper fun. at first, there was only me and my brothers and sister, but then, little by little more and more and more people were coming in. my friend hannah came finally and the, one of the parents of the little kids came and brought in Curious George. after a few minutes of watching it, i decided to pop the popcorn that hannahs mom brought in for us to pop. so then i went into the kitchen to pop it. at first i did just like 2 bags, and decided to just bring in cups of popcorn. but then hannah came in and suggested that we use the tray that we can roll into the room where everybody was. i agreed. then we got down to business. then one of the people who were helping with the dance asked us if we needed any hep and said that we could use some of the grapes, too if we needed. so we did. then we eventually got to the room and passed out popcorn and drinks and people got grapes if they wanted some. we kept on having to go back and forth to pop more popcorn. along the way we heard some of the music that was playing in the gym, and we danced to it in the hall way. then another baby-sitter that was helping out in the room came with us and heard a song that she knew and started dancing the dance that goes with it. hannah knew it too and she also did the dance. then they both went in the gym and started doing it. apparently almost everybody knew it except me, and my mom and dad who were dancing along but didn't know it ether. then they invited all 3 of us to dance. so then we all just danced our own dance for the rest of the time. but, we did take a few breaks and we had little snacks in between songs. we also checked on how things were doing back in the nursery(where everybody was). it lasted like a really long time, from 7:00-9:30. but, we didn't get home until 10:30.

still saturday(the 20th)

saturday was the most funnest day of my life. it was so fun i don't know were to start. first of all, i woke up thinking that my friend, melanie would come over then my mom woke me up and said that i had to hurry and get dressed and eat breakfast then get out the door. i was thinking, what?! then she explained that i was going over to her house, not she coming over here. the other night my parents were talking about melanie coming over, and then i guess that they decided to let me go over to their house, because they had a meeting. so anyways, i went over to her house at like 8:30, and at first we just did my scrapbook page for WAGS. wags is a little dog in activity day girls and every week some one else gets to bring here home and do certain things with her until next time(we go to activity day girls). so this time i got her. anyways, after that we did some origami. by then, it was nearly noon. then my dad called. then after we ate our snack, and played outside for a little, we finally decided to do something actually fun. we got some snacks and drinks for a picnic that we were going to have. then we put that in a bag and then we went to go get our bikes and were off. when we got there we first ate our snack and had a picnic. then we just talked and then, we had this amazing idea to go walk to the beach and name our own islands. 1 was called MC, and it was a really small. all we had to do was jump over a little bit of water and you're there. but unfortunately after a while it started to get flooded :(. then, our 2 other islands were named melsea, and chelmel.(they were all named with the combination of our names.) melsea and chelmel were 1 island, but they were still kind of separated. after a while, melsea and chelmel got really separated. water separated the 2. so we got rocks and put them in the water to jump on to get over from 1 island to another. we also did that to get to all 3 of the islands. (they were all close to each other). anyways, we stayed there for like 2 hours and then we went home to use the bathroom and then we were going to go back, but then Melanie's brother came out and asked if we wanted to go to Riverview, a restaurant in their neighborhood, and buy some fries. so we did. after we got back, we expected my dad to be there already waiting for me. but he wasn't. he didn't come until like 10 minutes later. then, when he did come finally, i got all my stuff and said good bye and thanked her for having me over, and we were off.

going out to lunch at Lonestar

on saturday ( the 13th)i went out to lunch with my friend to Lonestar. she brought a few other friends of hers, too. we had a really fun time, and i already knew 2 of them. we had lunch for like 2 hours,( but we didn't really keep eating for 2 hours, just talking mostly)and had a appetizer, and a desert (and a regular meal). we all thought the desert was huge, and thought that it would last at least a minute,but it like went away in like 2o seconds! we were all surprised that it went away so quickly. i also got to get to know a few of her other friends, too. i already had met and knew 2 of them, and so i got to get to know them more.anyway, we had a really gr8t time.
