For those out there. . .

For those out there that read this. . . we are just giving an update about our lives! Lil and I (Ha! I'm using correct grammar! Anyways. . .) School is good for the both of us and we are also doing another Bob Jr. soon!!! Swim for Lil is going great! As for me, whew! I'v had one accident after another! I had pneumonia, then I broke my toe (it's ok Hannah! ;), then I had something of a kidney infection and now: (screen fade to black, sorrowful music playing) I was walking in the middle of my school hallway when I slipped and fell right on my butt and head. It hurts so much more than you think! I can't bend down or put pressure on it. For swim, I guess you could call me a slacker because I've been missing so much! There are a bunch of swim meets going on that all my friends are doing but I can't do! The reason for this is when we had to sign up for these meets, we were not sure if we would still be here! So right now I feel like there is no point on swimming. . . Ugh! I'm going to miss all my friends here! And everything we do! It will be so weird going away ;). No new news about our move. We were supposed to get the "ok" last Thursday but, of course, stuff happened and they didn't. Anyways. . . I have to go! See ya!

Happy Birthday!

It is my 13th birthday today, and I'm soo excited! Thank you so much, Grammy, Grandpa, Papa Moe, Auntie Christie, Uncle Merril, Auntie Tristin & Auntie Emily, Auntie Diamond, Nana & Papa, and Mom and Dad for making this birthday awesome! I can't believe I'm a teenager! Hurray!!!! Haha, ok, bye!

New Computer!!!

Guess what?!?!?!?! Today Lil and me were just sitting on the couch reading our books when our parents came down with a big package. They had mischievous look on their faces as they passed us the heavy present. Then my mom said there were going to be rules, and that we needed to share. . . me and Lillian had NO idea what she was talking about! So when we opened it, we had no idea what to say!!!! We got. . . A BRAND NEW MACBOOK LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Lil were jumping up and down with excitement!!!! My Grammy, Grandpa, Papa Moe, Auntie Christi, Uncle Merrill pitched in to get us this AMAZING gift!!! Me and Lil just couldn't believe it! I'm typing on it right now!  I am sooo excited to be able to use this for homework, emailing, and most of all: BOB JR!! Get ready people - Bob Jr's are going to get a lot better!

Apologies

I've just realized that I have been only posting on Holidays! So I made up my mind to write today because there is no Holiday! The only thing is is that I have absolutely nothing to write about. Zip. Zilch. Nada. So bear with me if it gets boring. Here it goes! Ok, lets start with us moving! Our family is 99.99% sure that we are moving to the state of Washington! Right now we are living in a mad house, trying to decide where and when to move, which city to live in, financial stuff, trying to get rid of things we don't want, and my family and I are starting to do basic packing. As of now we have done most of the books, clothes and toys we won't need for a few months, and most of our basement. I can't imagine living in another house because I have lived in this one most of my whole life! (I'm only 12 -almost 13!- so I don't remember much about my other houses.) While we are talking about my age, lets get around to my birthday! It is this Saturday and I'm really excited! Lillian's birthday is this Wednesday. I still haven't even planned my party yet though! Now, the last thing I'm going to talk about it the picture on our blog. Today I spent ONE WHOLE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES trying to get a picture on that would not work. When it finally went on, it was either too small or too big!!!! So instead of you guys having to take a microscope to look at our new picture, I decided just to let it be huge. Me and Lil apologize if you have a heart attack when the page first loads and it scares you so much. Ok, see ya!

Happy New Year!

 Another year come and gone! I can't believe it, it's sooo crazy! 2012!! WAHOO!!!!! This New Years was awesome because I made all sorts of goodies. For the 3rd annual time I made New Years bread, I usually start making it around eight or nine so we can have our first bite at midnight when the ball drops! This was Ella's first year of staying up late because she turned eight this year. On previous New Year's we put Ella and Vivien to bed after we've watched our "new" movie (a movie we haven't seen before!), around nine and pretend it's New Years! Ha, they don't suspect a thing. . . Anyways, in addition to my homemade bread I made Peppermint Chocolate Fudge, and a new tradition. . . Macaroni and Cheese Balls! A few days ago I went to Somerset Mall and California Pizza Kitchen! I ordered, as an appetizer, these Macaroni Balls. They are macaroni and cheese rolled into balls, covered with Panko (Japanese style bread crumbs) and fried. They were just so good I looked up the recipe and made them! Ha, and they were delicious! Ok, well I have to go now, Happy New Years! It's pretty late (it is almost 12:30!) and my parents are nagging at me ;). Adieu!  

My glorious bread!!!! Oh it was sooo good!

Me, Lil and Ella right before the ball drops. We all look dazed especially Lil!
