Winter Break

Sorry for not posting for a while guys. Its not like I've been really busy, cause I haven't. Just really lazy. :) I had a great Christmas, and I got a new guitar. Still learning, but I'm getting there. :P

The Saturday before Christmas, our family went to Castles 'n' Coasters, an Amusement park in Phoenix. I had so much fun! It was soo fun, and I have tons of pictures. this is me and Cameron on a log ride. I screamed sooo loud!!!!!

The next one is me, Cam and my dad on a ride that takes you back and forth, like the little tick-y thing of a clock. We were soo scared!!!!

The most horrific ride we went on was called the Skydiver. It is one of those rides that takes you high up (120 feet to be exact ) and then drops you. My dad made me and Cam go on it. I almost frickin peed my pants. This is a picture of us during our fall.

I was ssooo mad, I didn't talk to anyone on our way up. My brother screamed like a girl (as always) and my dad was pretty scared, too. I hope you guys can zoom on the picture, cause it is priceless. Click on it, it is soo funny!

One last ride we went on was called Desert Storm. A Double loop roller-coaster. One word- Wow. it was soo amazingly cool, my brother and I went on it 8 times in a row. 8 times. This is us in the middle of a loop.

If you got his far, I apologize for you having to listen to my rambling. Hope you had (have) a great break!

Tag! I'm It!

I've been tagged from my friend Samantha, who is part awesome, part silly, part really-cool-friend. :P

I thought it would be a good idea to do a Christmas tag where you list 5 of your favorite things about this time of year, it doesn't have to be Christmas related, it can be anything about winter!! You also can list 5 things your grateful for! After your done, you can tag 3 people of your choice!!



Here are my favorite things about Christmas:

1. I love spending time with all my friends and family!



2. I love sitting around the table with my family at a big dinner and stuffing my face.



3. I love the warm feeling I get celebrating Christ's birth and being able to spend a whole month thinking of him.



4. I also love giving gifts, and sometimes gettin a little somthin as well! :)



5. Decorating our Christmas tree, and waking up Christmas morning. Running to the tree and getting that feeling in your stomach when you find out there really was a gift you didn't know about. Momma didn't lie!



Things I am grateful for:



1. My family.



2.My Mom and Dad, I don't know what I would do without them!



3. My house- and my fantastic bedroom. it is my hiding place, and my own little reading room.



4. How blessed I am to have the gospel in my life-I would be lost without it.



5. Last, but not least, I am grateful for all my wonderful friends, and how they are always supporting me and helping me no matter what.



I tag: Sarah, My mom, and my Aunt Janelle!!



(P.S. Don't forget to post the rules on your blog!!)

Bolt

Today I went with my cousin Bailey to go see Bolt. Best. Disney. Movie. Ever. It was hilarious! I was on the edge of my seat laughing, jumping, crying, and everything in between. Seriously, never thought I would say it, but it was better than Twilight. Seriously. You have to go see it. I think I'm going to see it again tomorrow. Anyone wanna come?

Presenting......

The new and improved Victoria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I look bad in these pictures- I wasn't really with it this morning cause I'm sick. Comment about what you think!

Parade

This Saturday me, my family, and Samantha went to the Gilbert Day's parade. It was sooo fun! We were messing around and just having fun. There was one float with these football players on there who were totally sagging their pants. Gross! Me and Samantha decided to yell at them, saying, "pull up your pants!!!!!!!!!!" It was sooo funny! my aunt brought all this fancy food that was sooo good. Everyone else was like eating pancakes from McDogfood's (AKA McDonald's.) and we were sitting there eating biscotti and brie, with ciabattas that had mozzarella, arugula, and pesto. We just laughed.

BTW the day before I was at my aunt's house holding my baby cousin, and this lady comes up and is like, "Awwww! How old is your baby!" My mom went soo pale, like vampire pale. LOL sooo funny!


O.K. back to business.

Thanks for coming Samantha! You're the best!































P.S. Guys look at my ninja-skills-that-I-had-no-idea-were-going-to-be-on-a-camera!





Heck Yes!!!!!!!!
NINJA SKILLS!!!!!!

Books, Books, and More Books

As of late, I have been reading a new book (or series) every week. My friends and I have been sharing recommendations, so I just decided to write them down.

First is Austenland by Shannon Hale. I finished this book yesterday and it is soo amazingly good, I could not put it down. It is about a girl who is obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, so her aunt sends her to a place in England where you can live like a Jane Austen character. So funny and cute, loved it.

The next book I have to share is the Artemis Fowl series. These books are beyond good. they are about a criminal mastermind who discovers something that the smartest person on earth couldn't dream of, which gets him in alot of trouble. Very enthralling, keeps you interested the whole time.

Duh.

The pendragon book series is a series that I have been reading for years. They are fantastic, amazing, captivating, witty, and everything else in the book. Love 'em.

If you have any other book recommendations, please comment and I will read them and get back to you.

Thanks!

Halloween

This Halloween was really fun. Me, Sarah, Ashlyn, Courtney, Mady, and Danielle went trick or treating in Sarah's neighborhood. It was sooo fun! We met Sean and Nick at the park, and we were yelling "HOBO!" at them. It was pretty funny. Then we went back home, where we met Sean, Nick, and Jacob again, who told us that they almost got jumped. Can I get a "happy Halloween?" We got tons of candy, and had lots of fun. Can't wait til next year!

On an un-related subject, Twilight comes out in 16 days! Um, WOW! I need to know from you guys- on Friday, would you like to go to the 11:00 showing, or the 1:20 showing? Either way, we would need to ditch school. thanks!

Fall Break

Sorry about not posting for a little while, I've been kinda busy. Over break I went to my Grandparent's ranch outside of Show Low with my cousin's and their neighbors, who go to Highland Junior. Grr. We went on quad rides, played pool, and went to a tree in the forest with a door in it. No joke. It was hollowed out and had a door with hinges and a window. Crazy stuff man. Then we all crammed on a log for pics. I must say I looked pretty hot in my mom's hoody and old torn jeans. fetch yes. You see all these kids? We tried to cram them all into a like 5 square foot tree. Oodles of fun. :)

We went on a family picnic and that is where we found the new addition to our family. This is Spike. Spike is cool. Spike is a horny toad. Spike.. ok I'll stop now. :) My dad spotted this fellow from about 70 feet away and we caught him. Isn't he a doll? Justkiddin.

This is me doing archery in the front yard. And yes Courtney, I did hit the target this time. Jerk. jk.

This is me rock-hoppin in the forest. As the name implies, I hopped across rocks. :)

The weather up there was perfect. All the leaves were yellow and orange, and they were all falling. We also found this little guy up there. So cute..... Jk... kinda.

Today, me, Sarah, and Samantha went to the mall and got Twilight shirts. Photo shoot time!

Wow I really got sassy in that one! JK I couldn't resist. This is me in my hot shirt with hot Edward and wow he is so hot! Only 26 more days til the movie!

o.k. enough of my ramblings. See ya!

Cinderella

Today we got to go to the Hale Theater and see the play Cinderella. It was so funny, and flippin cute! Not only was the play flippin cute, bu t so was the Prince. Not like, "Oh he's pretty cute!" but "OHMYGOODNESS he is H-O-T cute" Sarah, I totally thought of you. Remember yesterday? "Eight pack!!"













Here is a pic of him, my cousin and I. It was fun! You can't see us very well, but he was cute. I swear. oh ya Cinderella was pretty too. :)

Congratulations

O.K. my coolio Aunt Janelle told me about this song by Blue October that they wrote especially for Breaking Dawn. It is called Congratulations. It is in Jacob's point of view, and is so flippin sweet! I just love it! 

Post for a Friend

O.K. guys, I was inspired to do a weekly update on each of my friends. I will list things I like about them, things I admire, etc.



This week, it is going to be Samantha. This is one person I know I can look to no matter what. She never gets caught up in the drama, and is such a peace maker. Samantha's the girl who will stick with you til the end, even when you're stuck in the concrete forest and have lost all hope. (If you don't already know, just don't ask.) Not to mention she was the only one who stuck with me in my whole, "Jacob Black is the reason for the apocalypse/end of the world I hate him" phase. :) She rocks, and has awesome ninja reflexes. I know that if I ever have a problem, this girl is the one to go to.


Samantha is the fetchin nicest person ever! Last week, she either said something or playfully hit someone, I can't remember, but then later she told me, "I fell so bad, like I should go apologize or something." I laughed. Hard. She is so sweet and will always stick up for a friend.


Love you Samantha!

P.S. That is licorice in her mouth, by the way.

Bella's New Lullaby?!

Okay guys. I have some very sad and bad news. The Twilight movie makers have decided to change Bella's Lullaby to a song from Carter Burwell, or some other composer no one's ever heard of. They had us all fooled (sob).

Well, now what? Hopes and dreams are crushed, hearts broken, and people are left going, "Um...."

Oh well.

More Twilight

I am at a loss for words. This has been the most Twilight related day off my life. First, I read the first half of Midnight Sun, and I can't stop thinking about it. It is better than all the other books combined. On top of that, I just went to update my playlist, and found Bella's lullaby. It was sooo beautiful, I just started to cry. You should be hearing it right now, if your speakers are up. Pretty, huh?

11-21 baby!

:)

Rehab is back on....

Obsessed, much? I am still on with the idea of a OCD rehab, so if you wish to join, I am serious this time, comment.

12-12 baby!

Day 4 of Utah

Well, we made it! (Triumphant music.) After almost 12 hours in the car, we made it to Brianhead. I'm on my Aunt's computer right now, so I can't upload any pictures, but I can tell you about it. When we got there and checked out our condo, I nearly flipped. it was soooo hacken awesome! We had a loft, two bathrooms, a balcony, and tons of movies. It even came with a (outdated ) video game system. We went on the most ginormous ski lift, went shopping, and basically hung for three days. Today we got to spend the day with my Great Grandma, who is honestly the most amazing person on this planet. She is 89 years old and tells the most interesting stories. About half an hour ago, we arrived in my Great-Aunt's apartment where I snuck on the computer. I'll update again when I get back.

On an un-related note, BREAKING DAWN COMES OUT IN 5 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohmyheck I am sooo excited! But guess what- we are going to be in Utah when it comes out, and my mom has to read it first! (Sob!) I think I'm going to die, no exaggerations. Oh well.

12-12 baby!

Why So Serious?

AAAHHHH! Today me, Sarah, and Ashlyn went and saw The Dark Knight. It was sooo undeniably freaky and cool. I don't recommend the movie for anyone under 10, cause there were some pretty scary and gruesome parts. I am so excited and am probably gonna see it again tomorrow. It was that cool.

I hope all ya'lls get to go see it, cause it was hackin awesome!

Sorry....

Sorry everyone. I'm such a quitter and have given up on the whole " 30 reason's why Twilight rocks." thing. It's not that I can't think of any reasons, but I'm too busy to post everyday!

Here are some of the things I have done this summer:

1. Courtney and Samantha came over and we had a five hour long water gun war in my pool.

2. Ashlyn and I went to my Grandparent's ranch outside of Show Low, and we had a blast!
We rode fourwheelers, went to see Wall E (which was great by the way!), and played pool so much our hands froze in the position of the pool stick!

3.We went up to the ranch again the next weekend with all my cousins, and it was awesome! We went to a rodeo, had a huge party, and used a slip' n 'slide in 80 degree weather while it was raining! So hackin' cold!

Sorry I can't get pics for some reason I'm going to try again when my mother gets home!

See ya'll later!

His Golden eyes.....

I'm back!!!!!!! We had soooo much fun! We went to my grandparent's rach up outside of Show Low, and had a blast! We went to a rodeo, where we watched fireworks, and I got to hang with Allison and Melissa Fox for a sec. It was great!

So, back to business.
Reason number 26:
Edward's eyes are golden. Tell me, who else has golden eyes? (Rhetorical question, I don't want to know if anyone else has golden eyes. That would make Edward's eyes a heck of a lot less awesome. )

Twinkle, Twinkle.....

Reason Number 29:

Edward sparkels. Who doesn't want a boyfriend who sparkles?


P.S. To all my readers, I will be out of town until Sunday, so when I get back I'll pick it up at number 28!

12-12 baby!

Thirty Days and Counting!!!!!!

It's official! The soon-to-be best book in the world, Breaking Dawn, is coming out in thirty days! So, every day until the book, I am going to post a new reason why I love Twilight/Edward/anyhting relating to that subject. (With the exception of Jacob Black, whom I hate with every fiber of my being.) So, here we go!

Reason Number Thirty:
Edward is Perfect. No further explanation needed.

12-12 baby!

Twilight Movie

As most of you know, the Twilight movie will be coming out on Friday, Dec. 12. So, if things go according to plan, we will be ditching school that day and going to see it the day it comes out. So far, our group consists of :

1. Me (victoria)
2. Courtney
3. Samantha
4. Sarah
5. Ashlyn
6. Kacee

If you are on this list and are not going to the movie, or if you want to be on this list and are currently not, please comment and tell me! Thanks!

Yay!

Me and Ashlyn got a new blog! Yipee! You can check it out on our links at Ash Crash and Toria! See ya'll later!

It's... quote time!

Today's quote is from none other than the famous Spongebob Squarepants. I saw this episode today and started cracking up. Here it is:

"Gary, you are gonna finish your dessert, and you are gonna like it!"

If only we had parents who would force us to east dessert. Oh well, it doesn't matter because we would't have had to be forced. And, if we had parents like that, we would just be eating chocolate all day, although some of already do that, or want to. (Cough, Cough, Kacee) :) See ya'll soon!

Deep Thoughts

Well, I have been inspired by Sarah and Kacee to do a "quote of the day" thing on my blog. Each day I will post a new quote. Today's is from a guy named John Handey, and he has a book of funny quotes of his called "Deep Thoughts'' Here is today's;

I think the things you remember most are the little things, like that little space guy I kept tied up down in the basement. That little guy was only five inches tall! He used to beg me to untie his rope, but I knew he'd just run away if I did. I think the cat finally got him. but the cat had little burn marks on him, from where the space guy shot him with his little gun, before his ammo ran out. I remember things like that.

We do remember the little things. Some of us just remember bigger little things than others. :)

Another Twilight Post!

Well, I'm bored, and I figured, '' Hey, cant get enough Twilight, can you?" So, i'm just gonna talk about twilight. First off, I finally read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn! It was sooooo good, and now I can't wait for the rest. Oh well, I'll live. Also, have any of you seen the new scene from the twilight movie? If not, it's right here:
http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=237340
I thought it was good, and I could not stop watching it. I am sooooooo excited for the movie. It is gonna be awesome! Well, nothing else to write about, so, see you all later!

My (Kinda) Boring Summer

O.K. everyone, I apoligize for not writing for almost a full month. Every time I go to write a new post, I realize there is nothing to write about. Not much has happened this summer. We got a huge above ground pool. Yes, an above ground pool. It's big, it's abnoxious, but we all adore it. It keeps us cool, and what more can you ask for? I also got glasses. They're pretty cute, or so I've been told, but with my limited experience in glasses I cant be sure. I'll try and get some pictures later. Oh ya, I almost forgot Girl's Camp! It was soooo much fun. We ate non-stop and went to bed at 2 am every night! Yes, it was also spiritual. We had a night walk through the forest where we had to hold to the iron rod, and I was in tears by the end. it was absolutely amazing. I also have to give a talk on Sunday which I haven't started. HELP! Well, that's about all that has happened so far, I'll try and post when something exciting happens, if something exciting happens. See ya'll later!

Rehab....Cullen Style

Well, as you've probably guessed, I finished the Twilight books. Also, if you've been anywhere near me in the past few weeks, you know I cant get over them. My life now depends on re-reading Twilight daily and looking at pictures of Robert Pattinson. I'm pathetic and I'm proud. So, as a result, Courtney, Samantha, and I are considering making a Twilight rehab for people with O.C.D. (Obsesive Cullen Disorder.) It's that bad. So, if anyone is interested just comment and we'll get you an O.C.D. badge and sign you up. : )

Twilight

Finally! I have given into peer pressure and read the first Twilight book! It took me four hours and I could not put it down. I have to thank Courtney and Samantha for introducing me, I am reading the second one right now (it isn't nearly as good as the first so far!) See you all later!

$ I am Rich! $

I always knew one day I would end up rich, and it finally happened. While pouring my cereal, I came upon a cornflake that looked extremely like South Carolina. I am going to sell it and make millions ( not really! ) You know, just for laughs. See you all later!

S.O.S.

I feel like I am going to explode. So im watching Mythbusters, right? Well all of the sudden I hear the faucet going and then a ear-exploding scream. So I run into the bathroom and there lies Emma, covered in soap and water and screaming her mouth off. It seems she had something in her eye, and, rather than tell me, she decided to use water and hand soap to get it out. Of course, that didn't help matters much. So, right now, I am listening to her bawl on the couch. Did I mention Ive been babysitting for 2 1/2 hours? So, as you can imagine, Im pooped.


S.O.S!

My Cute Sisters

My sisters, Emma and Gracie, are going through a phase where they are dressing and acting exactly like each other. If one girl does something rediculous and stupid, the other will too. Example: While riding her scooter, Emma was getting bugged by the wind, so she put on a pair of goggles. 5 minutes later, gracie comes out in a pair of goggles. The end result? A two year ol and a four year old wearing blue goggles and posing for pictures. See you all later!

Dumb Blonde Joke

I was just readin Courtney and Samantha's blog and saw one of the funniest dumb blonde jokes, like, ever. Check it out..... : )

A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come over here and help me, I have a jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get it started.Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?"The blonde says, "According to the picture on the box, it's a tiger." Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle.She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger."He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then....." he sighed, ...let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."

I wanna meet the person who makes these up.
See you all tomorrow.

My First Entry!

Finally! After months of begging, I have a blog! (Triumphant music.) Being the inexperienced blogger I am, I have no clue where to start. I'm twelve years old, in seventh grade, and I am a total, absolute, and complete nerd. My nose is always in a book, and, unfortunately, it shall always be that way. I have two sisters and one brother who are driving me crazy right now and guess what? Its only one day into our three day weekend. "Spring Holiday" my.....
