AIMS

Well i better start with telling everyone what AIMS even are. They are state-wide tests at the end of the year for seeing what level you are at in school. It helps to see if you are at thr right level in school and know as much as you should. Since we are in home schooling it's a little different. normally you just do it at school for a week with your class but we do it a little different. Since we have to do it with people i guess in like a cetain part of AZ we need a place to meet. I thought that it was going to be a library or something but its way different! We meet at a hotel. We walk in and then there's a sign that says AZVA and then points to thr right. so every morning we have to go into this small room with about 15 other kids in grade 2 through 8. All of the 6th grtaders are weirdos so i sit with Cicely, her other friend in 7th grade, and then our other friend in 8th grade. Yesterday we did writing and part of math. Today we did reading and another part of math. its actually fun because we do it for like an hour and then we get a break. during the break i did a cross word puzzel with Rebecca, Megan, and Cicely. Rebecca and Megan are our 2 friends. My mom takes us there and their mom brings us home. except for they switched places now. Anyways then we do another hour or so of the other subject and then we are get another break and go home. Today my mom was late because we finished early so we got our phones back from them and they let us talk becayse everyone was done. there was only a couple people left and us so it was fun. we also got to walk around the room. by the way tanner is there too. he sits at the fourth grade table and he has some friends there too so he likes sitting there. We will do this till Thursday and then we'll be done. Except for Tanner and Megan who are in fourth and eighth which are the two grades that do science AIMS so they will go on Friday too and Science is short so it won't take that long. Well that's it. Once I get the results back from AIMS then i will write another post.

UTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As most of you know we went to Utah like 2 weeks ago and it was awesome! We stayed at our old friends house (the Richards) and they were really fun. They have 2 dogs and 2 kids. We got the whole up stairs to ourselves. There are two rooms and a bathroom. I loved waking up in the morning in Utah! Well anyways all that we did basically on Thursday was play with savvy, parky, Ella, and Alison and searched for houses. We saw 2 really good ones and 1 not so good one. Then on Friday we went to Savvy and Parky's again in the morning and played with them all day and i don't know if we ever went and looked for houses. It took me so long to write this that i can't exactly remember the days. Well i definitely remember Saturday. That's the day when we went to Savvy and Parky's again for Collins' 11th birthday party and Alison's' 1st birthday. We got there early though so that we could sled. We had fun sledding down the small hill but then we got bored so Uncle Dan decided that we should drive all the way up so that it would be longer and faster. Of course we agreed because it was obviously gonna be awesome. When we got up there i was gonna go alone first but we decided that it would be better if Cicely and kjirsten went first so they did. Uncle Dan and my Dad pushed them and they started to go really fast. At first everything was going well until we saw the boulders. Unfortunately they hit them and nothing serious happened. The rock hit cicelys back(which is just fine now by the way) and kjirsten got a couple of scrapes and bruises. After that everybody came and it was really fun. We played with our cousins and ate cake. After the party was over i don't remember what happened but i guess that we went to the Richards and went to bed.on Sunday was the best day! we had 2 stay home from church because cicely couldn't quite walk right. We went out for lunch and then we went to the Gramma Leomas and Grampa Darrels and had a big dinner and everybody was there. I REALLY miss that. After dinner we went out and played outside and then came in and had dessert. It was awesome to be able to see everybody. After that it was getting late so we went back to the Richards and went to bed. Basically all that we did was see family,look for houses, saw our schools, and slept over with Savvy and Parky. We found a house in Woodland Hills and its awesome! the Utah trip was awesome and i cant wait to move to Utah. we will have days like those every day! Well except for the beginning of Saturday.

highlights!

well as most of you know i already had highlights but i got more. i got some caramel colored highlights and i love them! I also got my hair cut and some layers in the back. Cicely got some reallt light highlights too. It was a lot funner this time because we got them done by a lady in our ward. It was waaaaay better because it wasn't loud and we didn't have to listen to this lady and her annoying laugh like last time. It was very peaceful and she had some music going too. We just listened to the music and talked. I lost my point. Oh yeah well anyways i love my hair and i am very excited to see everyone in utah! tata for now.
