California!

Because nobody could go to Lake Powell at the same time this year we decided to go to California for a week with Aunt Paula's family. We picked up Grandma Romine from Las Vegas so she could come too. We stayed in condos by Oceanside beach. It was a lot of fun. Our condo was like right by the beach and Aunt Paula's was just across the street from ours. It was pretty only in the 60s all week and overcast but the water was still pretty nice. Justin and Jillian came over for a day with their kids. Those kids are so cute! I don't have any of those pictures though because they're still on my mom's camera so I just stole Ashley's from facebook haha. Oh and Kylie was there with some of her friends so it was like a mini family reunion haha. California was fun but we still need to go to Lake Powell this year.

haha Dad wanted to join in the fun
It only took us like 30 tries but we got one!

Summer!

I guess I should probably just quit haha. I never have anything really important to "blog" about so I just don't anymore. But I finally graduated from 8th grade and I get to leave that stupid middle school. I wasn't really excited for high school until I got my paper saying that registration is in a few weeks. And now I can't wait. I'm still not ready for PE though. And I'm definitely not ready for early morning band.

The summer has been nice I guess. Even though all I do is clean a little bit and sit around watching TV or waiting for someone to post something interesting on Facebook. We're going to California this Sunday right after all of the Pioneer days stuff. I can't wait to spend a week doing nothing on the beach instead of doing nothing on the couch. Sandra and I are doing the grocery race again this year with Stormy Penrod. We're so ready to make it to the end without falling off this time haha.

Dad was really proud that I got Salutatorian.

I'm Such a Slacker

I haven't been updating my blog very well. I've been thinking about it though, really. I figure that my life isn't really that interesting anyways and I don't have a lot of pictures. And I waste all of my computer time sitting on Facebook waiting for my friends to get on and talk to me. xP Anyways, I do actually have a few little pictures that I took over Christmas break. Most of them are of Brooklyn playing in the snow though. Because I'm also a slacker in that I never take my camera with me when I should. Oh well. So a long update before the pictures should keep me good for a couple months eh?

I'll start with Thanksgiving. Everyone came home for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful. I loved being off of school and hanging out with my family. And I'm pretty sure I've watched Elf 15 times at least between then and the end of Christmas break. It never gets old. We had a butt load of amazing food. And that new baby Katelyn was here and she is adorable.

Then we went to Utah for Katelyn's blessing. And even though is was dreadfully freezing there it was fun. Meagan and Mandi came too with Pacer. The drive was miserable and I still don't think I'll ever travel in that small car with my brothers again.

And then Christmas came. Even though not everyone was here again, it was still a great Christmas. Brooklyn beat all of us in the box game. I think either Meagan was stealing tickets from the people around her or Brooklyn was just a born box gamer :] And the Christmas night we had a great time playing games and making fun of Bryce.

The day after Christmas we went to Las Vegas to visit Grandma and Grandpa Romine. Uncle Martin was there the first time and then Aunt Robin was staying there the rest of the time too. It was really nice to see everyone. I think that pretty much the whole time I was there we were all playing card games and board games and such. And we got to meet David's new girl friend. Who is just like David. :)

Now Coytt and Dalon have been staying with us for the past month. Those boys are so great to have around. Dalon is always running around playing Batman and saying the funniest things. And Coytt is such a great big brother. He takes good care of Dalon when he isn't teasing him. :) They're pretty good with the ladies too. Coytt made pretty good friends with TJ Boyle in sunbeams and when we took Dalon to Young Women with us he was really flirting it up with his monster voice.

I guess I'll update about school too. Mrs. Trickey is my English teacher and we are writing an essay every week because she's having us make a memory book. Personally I find it silly and I'm so sick of writing essays. And helping her grade everyone else's essays because she says I write awesome. And in social studies we're studying WWII. I love WWII. We have to make a model of a concentration camp and I'm working with Lauren Pierson and Reagan Odom. Reagan's dad loves to make these kinds of things so he's helping us out and we're doing a bombed out concentration camp with snow and trains and ,if we can find them to scale, little people. It's going to be awesome. He says everything has to look realistic and to scale though because I'm a Rothlisberger and I have to have an A+. Haha!
