Breaking Free!

So now that the roads are safer.... I am able to go places! Yesterday we went to church, which was really nice! Then today we went to Fred Meyers and Safeway... and even though they aren't the most exciting places... we're actually able to go somewhere!! :) It's great to be able to go places! I'm also making plans with my friends for New Years... because no one wants to stay home this year... or go to the stake dance.. so we're going to plan something else to do! :) I'm so happy the snow is melting!!!

Crossing my fingers

So today we helped shovel snow at the church so that hopefully we can have church tomorrow. We also shoveled snow out in front of our house so that we can make it in and out of our driveway no problem. So I'm kind of worn out from shoveling.... so I'm crossing my fingers that everyone's work wasn't wasted and that we'll have church tomorrow! (for the first time in 3 weeks!)

Christmas

Well Christmas Eve Uncle Sid, Aunt Connie, and Sydney came over for dinner. It was a lot of fun... a little frustrating though cause the power kept bumping... but it was still fun to see them... and dinner was really good! and we didn't get to bed till almost midnight.
Christmas morning Tayler woke us all up at 4 in the morning. :( But the day got better! :) lol. So from my Grandma Young I got a quilt! :) (and being completely honest I actually opened that one about a week ago! :) and a good thing too cause it's been on my bed everynight helping me stay warm!). Then from Jackie I got PJ's!! and they're really cute and COMFORTABLE!!!! I'm actually wearing some right now :). Then from my parents I got 2 books! So I now own the whole Gemma Doyle Trilogy :)!! I didn't think they would actually get them for all the fuss about me asking for books! From "Santa" I got $50 :) (I really didn't ask for anything for Christmas... I didn't know what I wanted... so I made his job this year much harder :) lol). Then we all went to see Bedtime Stories... and it's a really good movie.. it was funny and suprisingly clean.... so if you get the chance you should see it!
So that was my Christmas.. it was a lot of fun!

2 more days till Christmas!

Well there's just 2 more days till Christmas!! And I have no clue what my presents are... so this is the first Christmas that I have no clue as to what is under the tree for me. So I'm looking forward to Christmas... and the warm front coming Friday! :) Right now it's 30 degrees... and the icicles have been melting all day today... It's warmer than it was supposed to be today... and it hasn't snowed like it's supposed to either! :) I'm really happy... we will still have a white christmas... but afterwards it will be gone hopefully! :) So I'm in a good mood looking forward to the snow going away and Christmas! :)

Snow, Snow, GO AWAY!!!

Just some pictures of the snow that's causing lots of problems.... enjoy.

Facebook

Well I now have a Facebook!!! So if you have one look me up! :)

Sore!!!

Well since we aren't going to school.... I decided to do little work outs since I'm missing weight training and don't want to gain weight over winter break (I've lost weight!!! :) YAY!!). Let me just say that working out because I'm bored is not a good idea. Because once I start.... I do more and OWWW!!! It also doesn't help that my family and friends keep making me laugh while my stomach really hurts from numerous crunches on our body ball. But at least it's doing something for me! :)

White Christmas

Well.... we're up to 7 inches of snow. It snowed all day.... it was really pretty... everything looks nice now. I'm just happy our heat works! :) Karen's heat wasn't working for the majority of the day today. As you can imagine she was a little upset, but luckily they had space heaters.... and they have now gotten it fixed. Anyways these are some pics my dad took.

They're from the back "porch". And here is a close up of the ruler.

So it's been cold!!! Today however was warmer than it's been all week... I think it got up to 34 degrees....... no school tomorrow.

Snow Days

Well.... today we didn't have school... too much snow.... and it's icy. The only good thing about today is that I wrote my 4 pg. research paper this morning.... it's due Wednesday. However school has been canceled again for tomorrow.... and then it's supposed to snow Wednesday and I think Thursday or Friday also...... then we have 2 weeks off for Winter Break.......................................... :( so I guess tomorrow I'll do whatever problems I didn't do in math class...... then double check to see if I have anything else do.... just in case (crossing my fingers that we at least have one day of school.... or 2 this week). So..... I'll probably be blogging a lot the next...... 3 weeks.......... sigh......

It's snowing :(

Do you see that snow sticking to the road??? We're supposed to get about 4 inches today.... we're waiting around to see if they cancel church today.... and then if it's still here tomorrow, school will be canceled. :( The temperature is dropping, and the flakes are getting bigger so that will mean that probably both will happen. :( sigh...... I just hope it doesn't freeze tonight.....

So this morning I went out to take some pictures... I'm not happy that it's snowing but it looks pretty.

Emma decided to see how well the snow compacted for a snow ball.... It's pretty dry and powdery.

Here you can kind of see the snow falling.

Some leaves on our driveway... thought they looked pretty cool, mom thought that with all the leaves on our lawn and driveway made everything look bad... I think it made it look better.

So even though I'm upset about the snow.... as you can tell.... the rest of my siblings, especially Tayler... are extremely happy about the snow and the chances that school will be canceled.
