We had the most giggly Thanksgiving we have ever had this year. Grandma started to read from a baby book of Grandpas that she had just found. She started out  reading one of the notes and said Dear Harold Stanley and then she seemed to struggle for a second trying to figure out the writing on the book when Larry chimed in Madsen. That might seem funny since you weren't there but we busted up laughing. Soon there were a few other jokes in between and we couldn't stop laughing for 30 minutes. Debi finally had to leave the room since she was the worst culprit so she wouldn't disrupt grandma reading. Then Parker had to walk out and then I walked out. We just couldn't stop. I don't think I have ever laughed that hard. I feel bad all of you  weren't there because it was just such a fun fun time. 

                                      Here are the kids that came minus Shae who was in a bad bad mood and wouldn't get dressed until we got to Grandmas house.

                                                     After the feast the girls fell asleep in the living room. All grandmas furniture is at her new house.

                                                     Nick was so good with Shae and stayed with her helping her find her clues. Grandma blinked shes not asleep.

                                                 The boys went to play football and we found this tree with sunglasses,phones, clothes. It was funny.

                                                                                   The sisters and mom (grandma) 

 Tanner wanted me to send him the picture of this painting. I'm sure you've seen it but I didn't like it and put it away for a year or more and just got it out and finished it and now I like it. It's not the best painting but the meaning behind it makes me cry everytime I enter the room because I'm so happy. Six of the nine have made it to the temple. (although technically all have gone through it now) The spouses are inside waiting. In case you're wondering Shaes husband is inside the temple and is even taller than Mckay and boy is she happy.

Really Sluggish Mondays

Well, to no avail I had a sluggish Monday again. This one wasn't just sluggish it was depressing. First off Ms. Colligan played her Aggies theme song, because they beat BYU. Second is that I didn't make first cuts. It was a very unfair tryout, they planned it very bad. We did layups for like 20 minutes, then we did four on four. As you can guess nobody passed to me, so I couldn't show them what I could do. The only time I got points was when I got rebounds (which nobody could get) and put it in for two. I always cut to the basket, wide open, but of course nobody passed it to me once. Stupid ball hogs:(. Then we played five on five and I was sat out the whole entire time (basically). I got 2 steals, and my defense was great. Nobody could get past me. Well, anyway there was like 50 kids there and only 20 made it. We all know that jerk from last time right? Well, he made first cuts (stupid). Well, when I looked at the list I saw Parker, I was like yes until I saw the last name Atkins. Oh, so close. I didn't get that upset, and mom is going to party me up because I didn't get mad and was a good sport. Anyways, Sunday was awesome. We got to have a Cafe Rio dinner with the people down in Provo. Daxton always wanted to come to me and he is really big. I didn't get to hold Calvin, and I don't know why. It was fun to see everybody together. The family is really growing and I love it. I love to have little babies, because I never had a little sibling. It was good day, till I met today.


When I looked at the list I thought, "I hate Mondays."

Sluggish Mondays

The weekend was so long and awesome. I had 3 days with out school and it was nice till Monday. I wanted to do the same thing (as in the comic above) to my alarm clock this morning. I had a rough time deciding on which sport I should play. I decided not to try out for the basketball team and try out for the tennis and volleyball teams. Which one do you think I should play? I'm sick of people who play basketball anyways, this one kid blocked the snot out of me. He was fouling me the whole entire time on my way to my shot. So I told him that he was fouling me and he said, "Aw, you poor little baby." Well, guess what he didn't get one shot made on me the whole entire rest of the game (i also sprained my ankle). Until the end he made a lucky bounce in shot, then he cupped his hands together and blew in my face forever (good job freak you got your first shot). That wasn't the only situation I had with people, but I don't want to bore you with my stories. Anyway it is a new quarter and I finally realized how hard honors geography can be. I have to memorize all of Africa's countries, rivers, cities, lake, ext. :( I guess one thing has come out good from Monday, I have left basketball behind and have started a new life of tennis or volleyball. 

When startled by my alarm clock, I look over it is 6:00 and I say, "I hate Mondays".

Halloween Monday

 

 

Scary(or should I say old geyser) is Lexi's and Date, Kirby (on left) is mine.

Oh yeah two good Monday's in a row! Even though Halloween is my least favorite holiday it was still fun to hang out with my friend on that day. This year I didn't dress up in anything (i know I'm lame), but Lexi got to go to the Bingham Halloween Dance and dress as Princess Peach. She had a car, painted it pink, (which I wanted to use for Halloween) she dressed up in a princess uniform, and she won the prettiest costume award. My friend Ty and I we went around looking for hot-dog and hot chocolate houses. We didn't find any so we went around scaring people. I scared my friend Carson pretty bad. I had told him earlier to watch his back, but I ended up jumping on his back so he didn't watch it good enough. My favorite part of the night was when these group of girls came up to the door. I opened it up and yelled, "It's snowing" then I slammed the door before they could say, "Trick or Treat." So being immature the girls (in 8th grade) rang our doorbell a ton of times, and one actually came in. Mom didn't like that because she waved her hand signaling for the girl to get out of her house. I guess nobody has seen Hook (their loss). I was surprised at how many high school kids went trick or treating. I think there should be a law that says, "Nobody above the 9th grade should go trick or treating." Mom thinks it should be after 7th grade. We only had about 5 elementary kids or younger and the rest (about 100)were all old.Well, anyway i went to bed thinking, "Wow! That was actually a good Monday."
