CLEANING THE CHURCH!

Well today my family and some other families were supposed to clean the church and so we woke up early this morning and headed to the church. We got started and i did the bathrooms and my sisters and let me tell you never ever clean the boys toilets! it's a good lesson to learn! of course my sisters and i refused to clean the urinals so we called in Tanner and he cleaned it and then after that when Cicely and i were cleaning the toilets one of the stalls were locked and of course we weren't going to touch the floor so Kjirsten climbed over the side of the stall and unlocked it. After all of the bathrooms were done Cicely and I went out and swept the sidewalks around the church (which i don't get because they're outside so they're going to get dirty) The only reason we did it is because the church prints out a paper of stuff to do and so you sign it when you get it done with. When we were done with that we did the glass and the drinking fountains which weren't on the list but they looked dirty so we did them anyways. This isn't as easy as it sound though! it took us a couple of hours to finish cleaning the church! Only one other person showed up other than out family and she just vacuumed the chapel so our family pretty much single handedly cleaned the entire church! I had a good time though! cleaning the church is a perfect way to serve!

BOTTOM BRACES.

Yesterday Cicely and I went to the orthodontist to get our bottom braces and if you want to hear Cicely's side of it you can go on her blog but right now your going to hear my side. When we got there and were waiting my friend Nida came in and she was getting her braces tightened so it was fun in the waiting room until i had to go in. After that i sat down and they put all of this cotton in my mouth and this thing to keep my mouth open but the lady that was supposed to put the actual braces was doing Cicely's and so i had to sit there for like 2 minutes and i hate that stuff so i was sort of mad but once she put them on and i got to have all of that stuff out of my mouth i was a lot happier! As soon as they were off she changed the colors on the top and she told me that i have really good brushing so i can have the colors on the bottom! i got red and green of course for Christmas. When i got to go all happy that it was finally over Cicely walks out all mad because she didn't get colors and the lady had moved her braces three times so the other lady had to come in again and fix them three times and also i guess when she was clipping off the wire on the end she clipped Cicely's cheek too so i don't think that Cicely was very happy! well that's the story! i realize it was boring but if you were there it would have been a lot more exciting! i promise!

The best night ever!!!!!

Well we weren't able to go to the Nutcracker this year so my parents decided to take us to the nicest restaurant in Tucson as the replacement of that. They told us that we had to dress like we would to go to church. It seemed like forever before Saturday came but when it did we all got ready in our dresses, high heels, suits, and ties and we were finally in the car and on our way.........but then we tunrned around and got our video camera and then we were on our way for real. We were all excited and when we got there and a guy opened the doors for us and we for the first time saw what it looked like and it was very cool! I think that the main reason that we like to do this is just to spend time with each other which i think we have been successful in every year when we do this! I had like the most amazing food ever and i even got lava cake! talk about delicious! afterwards we decided to go to the mall and get Tanner a new bed because his was getting too old so we got rid of it and decided to get him a new bed however the mall was closed. Did i mention that we left at 4:30 and got there at 5:30 and spent two hours there so it was pretty late! We finally made our way home and got there and i hope that we're able to do the same thing next year. Oh yeah i have a funny story form dinner! it was all quiet because everyone in the restaurant was either whispering or eating their food and then we hear a big CRASH that just about gave me a heart attack and i look back and one of the guys who refills your water dropped a tray of a bunch of plates and cups i felt bad for him but i just went on eating because i was eating my lava cake an who can turn their head away form that for more than a second you know! Well all in all it was a wonderful night full of good food and heart attacks.
