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! |

Merry Christmas!!!

Since Christmas was on a Sunday we had to rush to open up all our presents and then run to our 11 am time church service! When Christmas falls on a Sunday we only have to have the 1 out of 3 hour "parts" so it was nice that we could come home sooner and play with our awesome gifts! This year I got stocking stuff, sweaters, shirts, jewelry, moccasins, leg warmers, swim suits, nail polish, a robe, we got Just Dance 3 which is super fun! I also got lotion, rings and a ring holder, a Vera Bradley bag and. . . . a KINDLE!!! I was sooo happy about that gift! All I've been doing is reading!!! My mom finally gave me permission to read the Twilight series (except the fourth one) so I've finished all of them in like 2 1/2 days. . . Anyways, what did you guys get (or give) for Christmas?

Bob Jr Learns the True Meaning of Christmas Part 2
And now. . . for the exciting conclusion!!!!! Sit back and relax, ha! No way! No one can relax when watching Bob Jr!!! P.S. If you haven't seen Part 1, just scroll down and watch!
Bob Jr Learns the True Meaning of Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I am sooo happy that Christmas Eve is tomorrow and Christmas is in two days! I just can't believe how fast this year has flown by! And, how much is going on! First of all, this Christmas we're not doing much. Just hanging with friends as much as possible before our lives change! This Christmas will definitely be a small one. . . We are starting to get rid of stuff from our house so when we start packing, we won't be packing junk! In Michigan right now, it is 40-50 degrees (fahrenheit) and rainy! I am really sad it will be a brown Christmas. . . Well enough babbling on!! I will get to the awesome, amazing, Bob Jr! It is the second Christmas special, and we hope you like it! This special is so special it needs to be done in two different parts! On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blixen!!! On Bob Jr!!!!!!

Happy Black Friday!! (And Late Thanksgiving!)
Well, the title pretty much says it all! How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was a bit different this year, we went to this old and historic, super nice and fancy, restaurant! It was about one hour away from our house but it was definitely worth it. It was a four-course meal, and we were VERY stuffed and had tons of leftovers!! What were some of the things you had for Thanksgiving dinner? The other AWESOME thing we did yesterday was we out up our Christmas tree and decorated our house!!! I was really happy about that. The only bummer of a thing was when my mom said we couldn't put up all our decorations and ornaments because there was just too much right now! We might put them up later though. . . . I am sooooo excited for Christmas though!! There is just so much to love about it!! The weather (most of the time!), the food, the family, the fun, the gifts, and just the overall spirit and feeling. Although, Black Friday is supposed to be great, the sales at the places we went to, stunk!! There was barely anything on sale and they were like $1-2 off at the most! Ah well, there will always be other times to get presents and stuff. Ok, adios! Have to run. . . When you comment, tell us what you want to for Christmas!!! Ok, see ya!

First Week of School. . .
Lol, more like the first MONTH!!! I'm soooo sorry I haven't posted since September 9, to be exact. GOSH! There is so much to tell! I'm gonna make it super short (actually I don't how long it will be - so bear with me!) so yeah. . . here it goes. I'm going to a new school, Jefferson. One word. Awesome. It is way better compared to my other school Reach. If you go back to like last year in September it probably has me saying: "OMG! Reach is awesome!" and "School is great!" and "This will be the best year!" Boy, was I wrong!!!! I think I already published (or told!) you how much 6th grade was like the worst one for me. It's only 6th grade!! Think about high school. . . I'm scared!
There is over 1000 kids at our school! My old school only had about 120 :P so this is a HUGE jump for me!! I love actually having locks on my lockers, again my old school didn't and thats been sorta fun, and they actually treat us like we're in middle school instead of elementary (my old school acted as if we were like 3rd graders but then gave us PILES of hw and we took an australian test, the MEAP {michigan educataion assessment program}, MAP 3x a year, a florida test and some other one that I have no idea what its called!) I love my new school!!! I've already made a bunch of friends but I sit at lunch with my 8th grade friends!
And. . . guess what??? I'm doing dance again!!! This time a hip hop class (it's soooo much fun!) and then my parents made me go into this acro/stretch class because I need to stretch and cuz im soooooooooo not flexible! Those are on Thursdays and it was soo hard and now I'm all sore and stuff. . . anyway I'm so excited! Omg!!! I totally forgot! I made the volleyball team!!! We practice everyday and I'm loving it!!! I'm learning tons of stuff too! We are practicing at the high school since my middle school is under construction (unfortunately just part of it so we still have school :(. . .) and we have or own lockers and everything at the high school! After school I just walk to the high school since its like 15 sec away (driving wise-about 5-8 min to walk).
For volleyball, we are working on our "bump, set, spike" routine so when we get to high school we will already be comfortable and good at it! I'm more of a "spiker" and my overhand serves stink! BUT!!! . . . I've been working on them a bunch and (thanks to my dad!) I've been making it over a few times!! YES!!! Anyways. . .
Back to school!!!! My classes are good, I love most of my teachers and I've navigated through the WAY bigger hallways than Reach ever had. I'm just so happy that I'm at a "real" middle school with 10 times more people and 100 times more fun!!!! This school is great!!! (watch me at the end of the school year, eat up my words like last year!)
It's almost Halloween!!! I'm soo excited but I still don't know what to be!!! I was thinking Katniss Everdeen from the trilogy: The Hunger Games (Best books EVER!!! READ THEM!!!). But since a lot of people don't know about it. . . I'm going to be her next year when the first movie comes out sometime in March. I'm sooo excited!!! Lol so, PLEASE comment about ANY ideas you might have for a COSTUME!!!! I don't really care if they're "bad" but I just need SOMETHING cause I'm lost! Ok. . . bye!!!
P.S. I said I was gonna make this SUPER SHORT. I lied. ;)

Midnight Show
Guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Last night (actually this morning) we went to the theatres at midnight and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2!!!! It was the best movie I have ever seen. . . the best thing was that me, lil, my mom, my bff hannah, her brother - jackson (lil's friend), and their mom all went together and then afterwards hannah came over at our house (at like 3:30 am!) to have a little sleepover! We were sooo tired we didn't do anything but sleep! We all slept in til like 12:30 pm! I am very sad that this is the last one because I love Harry Potter!! Who else saw it? And what was your favorite part???
Now I'll be waiting for The Hunger Games movie. . . ;)

Happy Late 4th of July!
July 4th was really fun this year! My auntie Tristin and Emily came on Sunday and left today :'( (Actually we JUST got home from taking Emily to the airport and Tristin to the train station). Yesterday on July 4th we went on a boat on Lac St Clair and watched the fireworks! It was this thing called a firework cruise. We were on a double decker boat called Huron Lady II, it was me and my family, Auntie Tristin and Emily and then random people we didn't know. We didn't get back home until 1 am! It was sooo much fun! The whole firework show wasprobably like 30-40 minutes in all and it took 1 hr to get to our spot and then 1 hr back again. We started a family tradition!!
p.s. We took that picture!!
