Just Because!

Just because you think that we baby you

I will watch over you more!

Just because you are the oldest and have to babysit all the time

I will make you do it more!

Just because you are going into junior high

I will have you do your own laundry more!

Just because you can reach the sink better than anyone else

I will have you wash dishes by hand more!

Just because you take yourself too serious

I will let Daddy tease you more!

Just because you can be grumpy for no reason

I will tease you more!

Just because you've had a bad day

I will hug you more!

Just because you are growing up

I will love you more!

Love Mom, just because!

School

School can be fun but most of the time its not. Next year I am going into Jr. High. Everything is going to change. My best friend is going to go to school in Oklahoma. Most of my friends are going to my school that I go to right now. There is going to be a lot more homework. Everything will be different.

So all sixth graders may enjoy what is happening and going on in school and life now before everything changes. Sometimes I think Six Graders wish they could just freeze time and do what they want all day long with there friends. But with each day turning into night, and each night turning into a new day, you cant find time to do what you want to before everything changes for good.

Everybody in sixth grade wants to stay in sixth grade for ever so that there friends don't move away, or so that they don't have to give up sixth grade to do something else. It's like having a piece of Chocolate and having to give it up for a piece of gum. It might not be as sweet but it will be just as fun.

Teenagers

Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. That's probably because I have reached my Teenager stage. A lot of Teens don't have Maturity. They go out and do the stupidest things and blame being a Teenager for it. Its really sad. Luckily for me there are a lot of girls in my neighborhood that help each other with there struggles. I am ready to be a Teenager for the most part. If I could stop being babied most of the time I think I will be okay.

Oregon, Here we come!!!!!

On Saturday my family is going to Oregon to visit my grandma and grandpa who live in Canada. I know you might be thinking " Well why are they going to Oregon if there grandparents live in Canada?" The answer is my grandparents are going to visit my cousins. It is a week before our Spring Break so we are going to go.

I get to spend a whole week with my cousins! I am so excited! I am especially excited to see Kinnie!!! No offense Treyton, Brenlon, Jayden, Landon, and Kiki. I am excited to see you guys too. But I am more excited to see Kinnie!!

Logan

Last week my cousin Logan got sealed to my aunt Ashley and my uncle Ryan. It was a really big week for Logan. On Monday Ashley and Ryan finalized the adoption of Logan. Wednesday Logan was sealed to Ryan and Ashley Smith for ever. Last but not least Logan was blessed by Ryan on Sunday.

It was such a neat experience to go and see my aunt and uncle seal and bless there first child. Logan as of right now is the youngest of 19 cousins. I am the oldest which gives me a big responsibility, as some people say. For me it just means that I can boss them around for ever and ever, and be an example to them.

Job? What Job?

So I have finally figured out what I am going to do for a summer job. I am going to fix XBox 360s for my uncle. My uncle and Grandpa own a store down in Orem. They get returned stuff from Costco and other stores. They have recently gotten a lot of Xboxs. They are broken unfortunately so we have to fix them. It will be a good way to earn some money and learn some stuff for what I want to do when I am older.

Vacation Time

We just got back from a week at Powell. We had good food, good times and lots of water. The kids discovered sleeping in hammocks. Jaxon woke me up the last night when he fell out of his hammock and then Sidnee kept me awake because she kept moving around. I read a book and a half. Now it is time to get back to reality. The kids cliff jumped, rappelled, road the knee board, jumped off the house boat, went down the water slide, road the wave runner, the Ion, the girls tried the wake board and skinny dipping. We figured out how to keep wet hair from going crazy and did a lot of fishing. It was a very busy but relaxing week.

Steve jumping off a cliff that the older 3 kids did.

Raven finishing a 360 on the kneeboard. Had no clue she was even going to try it.

Sidnee on the knee board. Doesn't she look like she is having a bundle of fun?

Mason getting ready to start out on the knee board.

Jaxon is not strong enough to be towed by himself so Steve got to go with him.

The funniest thing about the whole trip was when we were emptying the toilets at the poopdock, a couple from our ward was on a house boat next to us doing the same thing. It was kind of wierd. Of all the places to see someone from home!
