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!!

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!

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!
