Christmas

This year I got a Rubik's Magic, and it only took me two days to solve it. Last year I got a Rubik's Revenge and it took me about a week and a half to solve it. We had two family parties and Grandma Newman stayed overnight at our house Christmas Eve. I made little toys for my little brothers and sister. We got lots of snow, and Aubrey and I made snow angels.

Books

I have a ton of books I either want to or need to read. I need to read Huck Finn, and I want to read Brisingr, The Host, Supernaturalist, Cry of the Icemark, and a few other books. I'm in the book club at school and it's really fun. I'm almost always in the library before or after school and during lunch because it's a good place to hang out, talk to friends, find books, be bored, etc.

Artwork

I made a blog that is just for my artwork and things I've made, so anyone can look at it if they want to.

Now That School Has Started...

School has started and so has the homework. I would say my favorite class is probably ceramics. I love doing all kinds of arts and crafts. Seminary, ASL, Ballroom, and Child Development are pretty fun too. Lately I've been making a lot of window clings. Tomorrow is the ward campout and it's going to be fun. One weekend next month we're going to have a young women's overnighter, and I'm really excited for it.

School

School starts on the 25th and I now have my schedule.
1-Seminary
2-Ballroom 1 with Bye
3-ASL 1 with Corfield
4-Lang Arts with Ericksen
5-Ceramics 1 with Warner
6-Precalculus with Kartchner
7-Child Development with Borgmeier
8-AP US History with Boberg

Danielle moved down to Ephraim so she can go to Snow College. Her phone doesn't have service down there so she gave it to me. Now that she's moved out I have my own room. I'm starting to be excited for school now.

Lagoon

Aurora invited me to go to Lagoon with her on the 9th and she wants me to invite more people. She doesn't care who I invite as long as I invite people. She just wants more people to come. I'm really excited about it and I can't wait to go. I love going to lagoon.

Sleep Over

I slept over at a neighbor's house to help Alyssa babysit while her parents were gone. It was fun and I mostly just helped to get the kids to bed and up for school in the morning. During the day I mostly read a couple books while Alyssa and Nate played and napped.

Slide Show

I've been trying to figure out how to put a slide show on my mom's blog for her and it doesn't want to work. After trying for maybe half an hour or so, I finally decided to try it again later. I sure hope it works next time I try. I figured out how to put other things on it, like links and music, but not a slide show. Oh, well.

My Family

This is my family when we picked up my older brother at the airport after his mission. From the left to right: Me, Trevor, Jason, Aubrey, Dad, Craig, Devon, Mom, Brayden, and Danielle. The only person not in the picture is Devon's wife, Jessi.

Arts and Crafts

This is a chibi drawing of myself with a bunch of kitties. I think it's really cute.

This is a chibi of one of my neighbors who is also one of my young women leaders.

This is a chalk drawing I did while I was at my grandma's house. It's not a very good picture, but it's the only one I have. The drawing looked better than it does in the picture.

I sure wish I had a scanner that works so my drawings would show up better on the computer.

all about me

I have 2 sisters, 5 brothers, a sister-in-law, 3 cats, 47 chickens, lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, etc.
