Halloween

This Halloween, Sayla was Angelina ballerina. That is a little mouse character in a tutu dancing around. Davis was a BYU football player, complete with a number and pads. Keira was a cowgirl, complete with a vest my mom made for her. I was a San Fransisco 49ers cheerleader, with a sparkly tutu, of course. :)

Funny, weird, video!

Getting my ears pierced

I remember being super nervous. I had asked my friend if she could come, and she did. I squeezed her hand so hard! When the earring went in, in felt like a surge of pain shooting through my ear. It hurt so bad! And then after that, it just stung and stung, and stung!!!!! It was killing me. Then about 5 minutes later it was absolutely fine. But know i get to take them out on the 14th and wear earrings the rest of my life. I totally recommend having a friend there! Pictures of my pain: :)

I got little square diamonds and i think that the other part was made of sterling silver. i really like them.

Science Experiment

While in WY, we did a few science experiments. this one was my favorite. so, you need 2 M & M's, and a small bowl of water.     THis is how you do it:

•  So first drop the M & M's in the bowl of water with the M face up. 
• Next, wait
• Wait some more
• Now, look at your M&M's. What has happened to the M? 

Also, if you want it to look really cool, you should definitely do two different colors.  PIctures to be shown soon.

we went to the coast about 3 weeks ago.

Fishing in WY

Fishing at Hoop lake. I think we actually might have been right on the border of Utah, but whatever. 

                                          In all, we caught 30 fish. we let 2 go, because they were tiny.

                                                                 I caught 6 fish.

                                                            Look at all those fish!!!

Starlight Run

I recently participated in a program called Girls On The Run. It was a great program, and we were training for a 5k called the Starlight Run. I had an awesome running buddy named Nicole to run with. The theme was 80's Rocker Chick, so that's what we were encouraged to dress up like.  Pictures will be shown soon!

OK. I'm a HUGE fan of poetry. Wasn't April national poetry month? Here's a poem about friends,

Poetry is a good way to express feelings in a fun way. Like the acrostic poem that I wrote above about friends.  So go out there and write! :D

PIttock Mansion

As a family, we went to the Pittock Mansion. We didn't go inside, but we walked around it, and looked at the view of Portland. It was really fun! here are a few pictures of what we were doing:

                                                                 that awesome view:

Fun Run!

My girls on the run group did a community service project and we voted on a fun run! silly bands marked laps, and we set up an aid station and water cups. It was awesome!

Craft to do

A lot on this blog, I'll demonstrate how to do a certain craft. I'll start out with one that I learned to do from my homework. It's a ragdoll. You will need:

• about 15 yards of yarn
• a cotton ball or small styrofoam 
• markers                       
• piece of cardboard - the bigger you want your doll to be, the bigger piece of cardboard and more yarn you'll need - suggested size is 7'' by 5''

First, start wrapping your cardboard around the cardboard until gone. Tip: If you end up using cardstock or stiff paper instead of cardboard, try not to let it bend. Next, you'll want to take another small piece of yarn and wrap it around the top of the yarn, at the top of the yarn. Once you've tied the yarn, cut the bottom of the yarn so that the yarn falls off the cardboard. Take your styrofoam ball, an put under the yarn. Cover the ball up so you can't see it. Then, take another small piece of yarn to tie under the yarn, You've just made your doll's head. Now, seperate your yarn into four pieces. Those pieces will be the limbs of your doll. tie small pieces of yarn at the length you want your doll's arms and legs to be. Finally, tie another piece of yarn around the doll's waist. Now decorate! :) Have funa nd be creative!
