My Best Birthday Ever!

I went to The Mayan for my birthday. It was fun. This is a picture of the Indian guy taking a picture with me and Griffin and I was holding his stick. I was scared of him at first. He was speaking another language. It was weird. My Grandma and Grandpa Stokes were there with me. Crystal and Darren and Judson came too.

I got a doll that I had with me at The Mayan. In the morning it was the funnest because I got a Barbie car and a Hannah Montana doll and a Fur Real Puppy.

I got to draw the cover of a book that everyone wrote to me at school. I drew Alexis, Mollie, Jessica and Justin on the front. They are my friends. I wrote a back cover too. I passed out cookies to everybody. I feel like I want one right now, too bad I gave them all away.

Grandma Lee and Grandpa Slack gave me my American doll. She's a babysitter and my mom got her because my Grandma Lee wanted someone to get the right one and that was of course my Mom. I feel good being seven.

My Dad finished my playground. I'm gonna play on it tomorrow. I can't play on it today because it's Sunday.

East Canyon is fun!

We were at East Canyon and I went sledding on a big, big hill. It was fun. Really fun. I was coming down the hill, I was going fast and my cousin Josh bumped into me. I got hurt. My face got really bad hurt. I want to go sledding again. But not with somebody in my way.

East Canyon is this big place in the mountains. We go there because it's our family vacation. Ginger, Sam, Crystal, Judson, Darren, Rachelle, Spencer, Caleb, Josh, Sadie, Paul, Cami, Juan, Grandma and Grandpa are all there too. My favorite part is when I see everybody and when we play together. It is fun.

I Love the Prophet

Did you know that President B Hinckley died when he was 97, I think. Did you know that he died today at 7 o'clock pm. He was the only Prophet I knew. I didn't know any of the others. I feel bad about him dying but I believe he is a true Prophet and I miss him.

I got my tonsils out

I'm Getting My Tonsils Out

I'm going to get my tonsils out. My doctor said that I'll get my tonsils out in 20 days. And now it's the 19th day until I get my tonsils out. I have a sore throat and whenever I run and it's windy and I can't breathe and I have to face the other way. I'm not sleeping very good and I'm snoring in the night really loud. Griffin thinks that it's really, really loud.

Griffin, last night, said, "Did you get a shot?" and I said, "No". I don't want to get my tonsils out. Tonsils are little balls in the back of your throat and I don't know what they do. What do they do?

My Christmas was fun. And this is a new paragraph. I got an American Girl from Santa. She was cool. She had pink strips in her hair. She came with a kitty. I got barbie clothes for my barbie dolls. I got a watch from Mom and Dad. My Grandma Lee gave me a Leapster. My Grandma Stokes gave me a monkey and some clothes for it. There was a High School Musical shirt, too!

I Like Dance

I like dance and I did the hula dance and the kitty dance and the pirate dance. I really dance and it's fun. I miss dance because it was really, really fun. I miss it because it's ending. My dance teacher was really, really fun. I like dance because we have fun. Lots of fun!

Dance is ending because my next door neighbor is moving. I really miss my next door neighbors and they just moved to Washington. Her name is Dawn and she has four kids and their names are Nathan, Kaylee, Logan and Cassie. Their mom's name is Dawn. Dawn, she was my dance teacher and I really like her and so I really like her because I like the hula dance that she taught. My friend Logan was Stitch and I really like dance.

Fairy Tales & the Zoo

I like to blog. Sorry, Bridger. Sorry for not blogging for like, a few days.

I want to tell a story. (Daddy, remember my alien one. Daddy, do you know how to spell "I'm laughing"? Daddy, why are you writing all this?)

Once there was a little boy named Bridger. He liked to play with this little six year old named Sami. They lived in a big, big castle. Bridger liked to eat cake and sneak it, too. Also, he liked to eat plain ice-cream which was just white.

Sami, she liked to play with her daddy named Tyler. And then she actually kissed her dad and then Bridger kissed his mom named Meadow. And Sami liked to kiss her mommy, too. And Bridger liked to kiss his daddy. And Sami liked to play video games with dad. (I was kidding, my dad doesn't like video games. It's just a story.) Bridger liked to play games with his mom. Bridger likes to eat strawberry cake with his dad.

The End

I like to go to the Zoo. It's really fun, because we see giraffes and we also look at the store and see the elephants and see the monkeys. I want to sing a song. (Listen to it here)

We didn't see the gorillas. We saw three alligators. One was a baby, one was a mommy and one was a daddy. The daddy was HUGE! Its tail was almost all the way around the pool. The mommy crocodile was half asleep, half not. We saw the spider monkey and we saw the skunk monkey.

Seeing the giraffes was my favorite part. We went up in that cage where the giraffes stink, but it didn't stink that bad. We saw this huge cobra that was really super fat. I think it ate a spider monkey today. (Just kidding). But it ate something. Maybe it ate a whole bowl of cereal and maybe it ate the bowl. It was huge anyway, its tongue was sticking out and I thought it was goinig to break through the glass.

I Love the Kids Museum!

One day I went to the kids museum and I had so much fun! I was gonna scream because I was excited! We made a Chinese lantern. It was so fun. I think I'm going to hang it on my wall or something.

I played with the balls that were there. Some of them rolled out of the basket. We putted balls in the container and then brang them over to the game we wanted to play and putted them in the basket and rolled them with this little thingy. Then the balls would roll out and these little hangers would pick up the balls.

I was a grocery clerk and a lot of people brang the stuff they bought to me. They brought all their food to me and it was fun. I loved it. People had lots of food. They paid me money and I worked at the market. It kept beeping and beeping and beeping until everyone was like, "Ohh, what is that beeping?!" and it was so annoying. A lady that worked there told me to take a little break and do something else and I said, "Ok."

I want to tell Bridger a joke. Knock, knock. Haven't you ever heard about an alligator walking across my Dad's arm? Knock, knock. Haven't you ever heard of a clock talking to a block?

Happy New Year!

I Love Santa Claus!

Once upon a time, there was a lovely frog that was named Sarah. She had a family, but she lost it. She learned how to do everything herself, but only one day she heard a 'ribbit' and it was one of her friends and she said, "Can I live with you?"

Her friend said, "Yes. Why don't you have a family?"

"I don't know, I just lost them."

Her friend invited her into her house and she heard another 'ribbit' but it was just her dad coming home. One day she heard six 'ribbits' but it was just her mom and her brother and her sister AND her mom.

The end.

I wonder what I'm going to get for Christmas. I think I'm going to get a talking dolly-pony or a bear maker.

I think Santa is going to hide something under my pillow or right by my bed. I know Santa is fat and that he jokes and that he "ho ho hos". I know he lives in the North Pole and that he has a wife. I think his wife is really nice.

Merry Christmas everyone, I love you!

I Love You Grandma and Bridger!

Sorry, Bridger and Grandma Lee. I forgot about my blog and I love you still. But, sometimes I have a hard time getting my blog on. I'm sorry I didn't blog.

I'm wondering what I'll get for Christmas.

Once upon a time there was this little bird that lost his family and he was only a little baby egg. He learned how to fly and he learned to hop and find food himself. One day he heard a "tweet tweet" but it was just a different bird; a woodpecker. One day he heard a bee, but it was just a yellowjack. One day he heard a "peck peck peck" on a tree or on a bush and then it was just a woodpecker on a tree or tree branch. Then he heard some flapping, but it was just a butterfly. Then all of the sudden he heard three tweets and it was his sister and his mom and dad.

I made up that story. Whew, that's a pretty long post, isn't it?

Oh, it was my Daddy's Birthday so here is a picture of it.

I Love Santa...and my brother

I love my Mom and Dad because they are so fun.  My Mom looks like an angel and my Dad looks like a prince.  And most of all my Mom looks like a Queen and my Dad looks like a King.  I look like the little princess and my brother looks like a prince.

I went to a Pony Party at Tyra's.  I loved her Pony Party and we were trying to trap the boys.  I loved it because it was so fun.  I wonder when I'm going to go to her house again someday.

I wonder what I'm going to get for Christmas and I love Tyra, too.  She looks like and angel on a star.  I want a teddy bear machine and it comes with fluff and eyes.  You make your own bear and their clothes.

Griffin: I want bear clothes!

I Love My Mom and Dad

I love life because it's perfect.  I had fun today.  I had so, so, so much fun today because I went to school and learned about Thanksgiving and all kinds of stuff.

I love my Mom 'cause she's the greatest Mom of my whole life and of the whole world.  I love my Dad because he tickles me a lot. I love my Dad because he types my blog.  I love my brother.  Sometimes I don't like it because he pulls my hair and stuff and he really bugs me and steps on me and steps on my face and stomps.  I hate it when he does that and I tell my Mom.

I'm going to go on a performance.  I love my next door neighbor because she teaches me  a lot of times and I like her.  She teaches me dance.

I Love My Piano Teacher and My Brother

When you are piano lessons, you sit up straight and you keep your feet down (you don't cross your feet).  You put your fingers like, put 'em apart like you're throwing a ball and put 'em on the piano and keep 'em straight out.  You put your thumb down and that will be C.

I love piano lessons and I love Griffin and he's my best brother ever, in the whole wide world.  He's the funniest brother in the whole wide world.

I Love School and Disneyland!

I went to school this day and I learned about the five sences.  It was fun.  The next day we learned about pumpkins and stuff and Halloween.  I went home and hanged up my backpack.  I always, always, always get presents, like penny and fish rocks.  Also, I give rocks and stuff to Brendan and Carson.

I went to Disneyland and it was really fun!  I saw Belle dancing with the Beast.  I saw Lion King, Little Mermaid and Urula but she was really, really big. Good thing she was plastic.  I was about to say "hi", but good thing I wasn't going to say "hi".

My favorite ride was Star Wars.  We getted to go in a pretend space ship and it was really, really fun.

I Had Fun at Singing Time

I went to school and I had singing time.  We singed songs.  I sang about pumpkins and witches and all kinds of goulish creatures, like black cats and ghosts and skeletons, too.  And clowns and witches, they all say boo!  We sang a pumpkin song.  One little, two little, three little pumpkins.  Sitting on a gate.  The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late."  The second one said, "There's witches in the air."  The third one said, "But we don't care."  The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun."

I Love My Grandmas

My Grandma Lee came today and both of my Grandma and Grandpa came and my aunt and uncle came and we had fun together. Tomorrow we're going to sleep and then my Grandma Lee is going to come in the morning. I love her and she's my best Grandma and I love my Grandma Stokes and I love everybody in this world. I love her and she is special to me. I love her so much. I love her so much that I could just kiss her on the cheek...or the lips. I love how she dresses and I love how tells stories. She told the Herman the Worm story. It goes like this:

One day Herman had a Mom and a Dad and a sister and a brother, just like you. And when he got old enough he getted to go to school.

So the first day of school Herman's teacher said, "Why are you so skinny?"

And then the next day he came to school he was a little bit fatter.

His teacher said "You're a little bit fatter, how did you get so fat?"

"I ate my sister"

"You ate your sister?!? You naughty, naughty, naughty worm?"

The next day he came to school and he was a little bit fatter and he could barely fit through the door.

His teacher said, "Why are you so fat, Herman?"

"I ate my brother"

The next deay he came to school he could barely fit through the door.

His teacher said, "How did you get so fat so fast?"

"I ate my mother"

"You ate your mother?!?! You naughty, naughty, naughty worm!!"

The next day he came to school he couldn't fit through the door. So he came to the window. His teacher looked out the window and he was even fatter.

He said, "I ate my Daddy."

"You ate your daddy? You naughty, naughty, naugty worm!! You're never going to come to school again."

The next day he came to school he was skinny again.

His teacher said "Why are you so skinny?"

"I burped."

It's a Small World After All

I'm excited to go to Disneyland because it has all kind of rides; Pooh Friends...I can't say all of it because it's a lot of rides.  I want to ride them all in one day.

And then, I totally want to go to the beach because it's so fun.  It's going to be a really long drive so I'm not sure I...I wish we could walk there.  It would be fun if I could ride my scooter the whole way or rided my bike.   But, you can see your favorite princesses.  One of my favorite princesses are Jasmine and Cinderella!  When she gets married to her Prince, I love her.

My Dad has yellow and green eyes.

Me and My Mom Cried Together

I had fun with Griffin today.  His shirt is on backward.  Actually, his shirt is inside out and backward.

My mom dropped me off at school and I was going in all by myself.  But I forgot where reading time was and then I thought it was down the stairs but it didn't look just like before.

Only my Mom knows where reading time is.  When we go we sit in the back just hanging out.

When I ran out I cried because I didn't know which way to go and my Mom was almost going.  I went outside as fast as I could and she was starting to drive away and it was scary.  Me and my mom cried together and it was kind of crazy at first, but my mom was crying with me because she was about to leave.  It was scary.  So scary.  If she leaved and I was too late, I would wait for reading time to be done.  But I still went to school.

I Loved Going to the Oktoberfest!

I went to this tram today and it was really fun. That picture...that old man and that young lady...that's me and Griffin. I love how Griffin is looking because it cracks me up. It's funny when my leg is up and my other leg is down. Me and Griffin are holding hands; it's realy, really, really, really funny.

We goed to the Tram ride. It was really, really, really, really, really fun. We saw two little squirrels. I saw mountains and dandylions all around. There were horn players that I didn't really want to go and get my picture taken with because I was scared.

[Dad's Note: The kids and I went to the Oktoberfest at Snowbird today. The German food wasn't anywhere near as good as what you can get at Sigfried's downtown. But the kids participated in musical chairs and had fun trying the chicken dance.

At the top of the mountain (11,000 ft) it was quite a bit colder. There were some Alpine Horn players at the top. I tried to get Sami to get a picture taken with them. She was so cold that she just shutdown, even though I planned ahead and brought their jackets. But the scenery at the top was great. Just a tad early for fall colors. There was a little bit, but not enough. Samantha also got a cute face painting that she got a lot of comments on.]
