Fire Safety

Well, as I was checking my e-mail just a few minutes ago, I was watching my little brother and sister out the window light a fire in our portable fire-pit outside. My little brother had the brilliant idea to pour gasoline on the fire to get it to start. As he poured gas onto the fire the fire lit and found its way up the stream of gasoline and got itself into the can. My little brother and little sister not knowing what to do decided to throw the can of gas into our pool right as I was running out screaming no (really, I was), getting ready to put dirt all over the can. Too late, us kids soon found ourselves with a giant fire inside our pool (luckily our pool needs remodeling so it is pretty much drained except for the rain that has made its way into it during the last few rain falls. Therefore, kids and people, I would like you all to know that dirt is what puts out gasoline, never put a can of gasoline into a large body of water. That's all for today folks! (P.S. No damage has come to anyone, and our pool is fine because we are going to re-do it anyways.)

Alzheimer's

Well, today my friend Toni had a meeting for he Girl Scout Golden Award project, or something like that. That project is basically for 65 hours and about something you are passionate about. She, chose Alzheimer's disease, because her Grandma has it and she has seen the effects of it.

So, I went to the meeting she invited me to and we learned about her project and such, also as a bonus there was pizza and cookies and water there.

At the end we got to sign up for volunteering to help out with the Alzheimer's clients (they don't like to say they are patients). So I have signed up for this Friday sometime after school.

Also, there is a walk I believe to support Alzheimer's patients and I plan to sign up for it once there is more information. It should be fun though. :)

Rain Rain Staaaaaaay!!!!

Hurray! It is raining, and although I would like to see the sun again and not have rain everyday. While it is here in the desert it is wonderful. And, for those of us who live in the desert, it also smells like creosote, which smells so good, and most of us call it the smell of rain. :D

Anyways, things have been going pretty well, finals are this week, but other than math I think they will all be fairly easy, which means this will be a wonderful week.

Babysitting

Well, Saturday night my sister and I went babysitting and we babysat the cutest little kids. Max and Axel, they are about the same age and look like brothers. They are also really funny so we had a fun time. : )

Christmas

Christmas was pretty amazing, mostly in the morning, because for me that is the only part that actually feels like Christmas. I got cute clothes and things and am hoping to get a pair of Toms shoes, maybe navy blue ones, from my grandparents. Christmas Eve was also very fun, we had people over at our house (which my mom likes having). The missionaries were over for a long time because there really wasn't much to do on Christmas Eve because so many people are away. Later we went over to our friends house to make tamales (a tradition to do on Christmas Eve or New Years Eve for mexican families) that was cool, and now we have a ton at our house which is good because I like them. Now, after Christmas we have family over and another week to spend out of school. Yay! :D

Songs

I am so pleased with my sisters two new songs. They are so happy and fun and I really think whoever reads this should hear them. I love to listen to them and they make me smile. :D

Christmas Party!

Well, I am kind of stressed with school and church things this week, but also happy because I am just getting things done. Tomorrow I have a performance in theatre and I hope that I do well. I am not all that prepared. I also have to finish a Spanish brochure project thing. And then finally I am kind of the main helper/ leader of throwing this sugar cookie decorating party for some nice old people in our ward. I just called some of them that hadn't responded and they sounded so cute and nice. They thought it was so nice that I had called. : ) Well, that is about it for now.
