Day 119, More Christmas movies with Kaily!

  Kaily gets married this Tuesday, so we had our last, finale, movie night, EVER! Well....while she is single that is... HAHA.. anyway.. So we watched some more Christmas movies. We were doing great, and weren't tired, until the ending of the 2nd movie we watched. We chose to set an alarm, and take a 45 min. nap.... but that didn't work... So we only watched 2 movies, but it was still fun. I'm really going to miss all the movie nights me and Kaily had.

Day 118, Carmel Corn!

  It has always been a Christmas tradition to make Carmel Corn around Christmas time. Although I'm not a big fan of carmel corn, my mom still makes the best you can ever find in all of Utah, I'm pretty sure of it. Sara and my mom LOVE to make it, and we had it out as Christmas presents to our friends and neighbors.

Cameron didn't enjoy eating the plain popcorn, so he asked for "Microwaved Popcorn"  It was so funny!

Cameron also LOVES Charlie Brown, and he enjoys watching all the holiday episodes of the show. This is us watching Charlie Brown Christmas.

Look at all that Carmel Corn!

Day 117, CHRISTMAS VACATION!

  It's finally Christmas Vacation! Everyone spends weeks looking forward to this day, and counting down the days! I'm so happy that I get to have school off for the next two weeks! I'm so excited for Christmas!

Day 116, Swimming at the Rec. Center.

  Cameron loves to Swim! Today, Scott, and Cameron went swimming, and they invited me to go as well. He is so cute when he swims. He gets so excited, and splashes everywhere! He also can swim all by himself! (with a life jacket of course) The Rec. Center is a great place to go swimming. Although it will never be like the "bubble", the pool that originally was there, but it still is awesome.

Slam dunk!!

We love to SWIM!

Day 115, Favorite Christmas movies...

  Christmas is most favorite time of the year, and I also love movies! So I LOVE Christmas movies! Some of my favorite Christmas movies are ELF, and Christmas Vacation.

I remember when ELF first came out a few years ago. I HATED it! I thought it was funny, but I thought it was really dumb, and Will Ferrell didn't help at all. But, slowly, the movie grew on me. Now, it is one of my favorite Christmas movies! I can't get enough of it! It is just so funny!

I grew up watching the "Chevy Chase" movies, and one of my favorite movies is Christmas Vacation. I love how it is so random, but it still has a good meaning to it. It is very very funny! If you haven't seen it, go rent it or buy it, cause it's good!

Day 114, Meeting Santa...

  Today we all took Cameron down to meet Santa. He was very excited to meet him, but once he sat on his lap, he was scared. He wasn't screaming to get off like some kids, he just wouldn't let go of Sara. So Santa just gave him a book, and Cameron stood next to him for a quick picture.

So funny!

Day 113, I love to travel!

So, over the past few years, I have traveled to several different places. As a kid, my family never did much traveling. The only places I can really say I've been were Disneyland, Las Vegas, and Idaho. But that has changed now. I went to Michigan with Scott and Sara and little Cameron the Summer after 10th grade. Last summer, my Dad, my brother Scott and I flew down to Boston, and from there we also drove to New York also. Boston is so far my favorite place I've been to so far. As you know, I just got back from Texas. That was pretty awesome too. I've learned over the years, that I just love to travel!! I hope to travel many more places in the future.

Day 112, Last day in Texas!

  Today was sadly the last day of Texas for us. Texas was awesome, and I wish I could have stayed longer. I know I definatly will go back some day! Today, Brian had a 2 aclock plane ride back, and the rest of us had a 5 aclock ride... So we had to be at the airport at 12. So, we sat in the airport for about 4-5 hours. It actually didn't seem that long. We made it fun.

My new Texas hoodie!

It was so cold in the airport, and this helped SO much!

Me and my window..

  So, now I can finaly say that I've been to Texas! It was so much fun! DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!!

Day 111, 2nd day in Texas!

 Today, while my Dad worked, My mom, Brian and I went to Six Flags. Since it was winter, they had a "Christmas in the park" Most of the cool rides were closed, and it was PACKED!! So.... we didn't ride anything except the train. It was fun to just walk around, and see all the Christmas lights, and look in the shops. It also was VERY cold! I know, it's Texas, but it was colder in Texas then it was in Utah! Plus, it was windy!

The Texas flag!

SIX FLAGS!!

I'm just so freakin' cool!

We saw Wonder Woman!

Brian asked her out...... yeah ...didn't turn out so good...

All of us on the train..

The Superman rocket!

We had to get a picture with Batman and Robin be for we left..

  Six flags was fun. If I was to ever go back, I would want to go back in the summer, so i could ride the rides!

Day 110, First day of Texas

  Today we flew into Texas, and went to our hotel. It felt a bit warmer then Utah, at first.

This is out my window before take off.

   Once we got there, we went to one of my favorite places to eat some lunch, PANERA BREAD! I have been in love with Panera ever since I ate there in Michigan with Scott and Sara for the first time. I must say, that Michigan has the best Panera though.

So excited!

 After we had some lunch, we went back to the hotel to take a much needed tap! After all, we had to be at the airport at 6 in the morning. So we were all tired! After that, we hung out, and then went to dinner at this really yummy place called "Black eyed pea"
It was a very good first day in Texas.

Day 109, Packing for Texas!

  Tomorrow, My Mom, Dad, my brother Brian and I are flying down to Texas. I am so excited! I'm so happy that I get to go there. Texas has always been one of my places that I wanted to go.

Day 108, Santa Claus tree...

  Ever since I was young, people down the street in Farmington, have put Christmas lights on there HUGE pine tree in there front yard. The tree is maybe about 50 to 100 feet tall. IT IS SO BIG! Well, its a tradition to see the tree on Christmas eve. I drove by today, and I saw that it was up! I was so happy! We call it the Santa Claus tree because my parents told me that is how Santa knows that it's time to come to my house. I think it is my favorite tree.

Day 107, Favorite Musicals

  I am someone who loves to be in, and to watch Musicals. Ever since I was a kid, I have been watching Musicals at the theater just down the street from my house. I was in my first musical in the 6th grade. The musical was "You're A Goodman Charlie Brown" I played Charlie Brown. After that, I took an acting class for 3 years, and I had the privilege to be in some other musicals as well. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite musicals....

WICKED

  I've talked about Wicked on the blog before, and I must say that it is by far my favorite Musical. This musical is filled with Love, Hate, and very intense. If you have seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz" you will like this Musical. It's about the Witches from "The Wizard of Oz" but it's before Dorthy comes into the picture. You learn how the Wicked witch became Wicked, and if she really is Wicked. If you ever have the chance to see Wicked, GO SEE IT! You won't be sorry.

AIDA



  Aida is a very interesting Musical. It's about the princes of Nubia (Aida) is captured and made slave by the prince of Egypt. They start out hating each other, but later fall in love. They learn that they never can be together, unless they are put to death. This musical has some awesome dance scenes, and some very very awesome music! You should see this one also.

THE LION KING

  I know you all have seen or heard about the movie of Lion King done by Disney. The Musical of The Lion King is basically the same thing. But the costumes are just so cool, and the music is breath taking. Once you see this musical, the movie will never be the same.

CATS



  CATS is a very strange Musical I must admit. But I just love it. CATS is a Musical you either like or hate. I really don't think there is an in between. I love this Musical because of the music, and of the story line. I think the morel of the story of CATS is not to be selfish, which all the cats are in the show. They are only thinking about themselves. I also like this musical because it makes you uses your imagination. I mean.....cats dancing and singing?? HAHA.... But seriously, I really enjoy this one.

So, those are just few of the many musicals that I love. I hope to be in a Musical again soon, but it needs to be something cool. Maybe one day I will be. :D

Day 106, Christmas lights at the Park.

  Every year, the park down the street from my house always is decorated for Christmas. They always turn them on around the first week of December. Santa comes, and choirs sing. It is really fun, and you also get some hot chocolate and cookies to eat. This is what the park looks like this year....

View of the entire park...

Giant green tree...

Awesome Red, Green and White tree...

Day 105, Cupcake?

CUPCAKE ANYONE??

We made cupcakes today after dinner.

Day 104, Festival of Trees and Sledding!

Today, the family and I went over to look at the trees at the Festival of Trees. There are so many trees there, and it is always jammed packed with people! Cameron loved it, he was so excited. There was so many trees, that is was hard to choose a favorite!

Cameron found a Mickey Mouse door set.

Giant gingerbread house!

   Later that day, some friends and I went sledding down a hill up in the mountains. It was so fun, but there wasn't enough snow.... we kept hitting rocks, and it would hurt! I took Jenna, and my friend Jessica took her dog Boomer. The dogs love to play with each other, and the also love the snow.

Jessica fell, and rolled down the hill a little ways...
