Into the Archives 51-Mothers Day

In honor of mothers day, here's to all the amazing and yet under appreciated mothers out there. This video is from 1999 (as it so conveniently says on the screen).

Timeline-2011

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here is a (not so) quick but quickest overview of my 2011. If you want to know it all, just read my entire blog. Good luck!

February 11th: (which happens to be my brothers birthday) was when I started this blog! A very important event I'd say.

March 19: (no post) Stake Cinderella Ball

March 3rd: The beginning of Into the Archives. Over there under "Labels" is a tag called ITA. Click on that.

April 11th: I got the ultimate haircut of the decade! Actually I'm serious. I might not get my hair cut that short for at least 10 years. It could happen though. I'll have to see...

Mid-Mayish: I got my goodreads account. Yup that was a great idea! I'd sugest you get one if you haven't already.

May: Passed my first year of early morning seminary. Well OK maybe I did more then just pass seeing as I got the Stake Presidents award and all.

February-March-April-May: I LOVED track yet again! (That's 3 years of running yo!)

May 23rd: I turned 15.

Very end of May: Track awards ceremony.

June 10 & 11th: Stake YW 4th year high adventure-thingy.

June 2-5th: Can you say Chicago?

June 20-24th: I rocked Stake YW girls camp as a 4th year...without a voice the entire time. More info if you read that post.

June 29: (no post) I went to the local amusement park for the first time (never having been on a roller coaster) and seriously had a blast! I had no idea how my body would react to roller coasters because my dad loves then and my mom doesn't so there was a 50/50 chance whether I'd survive through the day. Well...it stayed 50/50. I was feeling sick over half the time but I couldn't help it! I LOVED the big rides! My favorite was the Patriot. A crazy loop-de-loop-really-fast ride.

My least favorite? The Boomerang. After just once I was really sick and it happened to be right before lunch...which I didn't eat. After an hour of groaning and laying on a bench I got up and ate 2 cups of ice cream and was magically better! Who would have guessed?

During a break we had fun with everyone's phones:

 When it got dark it was almost better than day light! The place looked like Christmas in June.

We were seriously there all day. About 10am-10pm. Turns out that is about the right time. Sick enough to want to go home but still satisfied that I had gone on all the rides I wanted to.

July 7-9th: Rode on school buses. AKA had a nice stake youth conference.

August 5-6th: Partied in Nauvoo with my "other ward".

August 9: (No post) Stake Seminary kickoff. (Seminary already?) We didn't do much but play on the playground...which turned out to be really fun!

October 13th: I started a blog that I post on daily. Mostly videos...but a few other things too. helloyoutube.blogspot.com

October 31: (no post) Seminary Halloween costume party. Everyone dressed up as someone or something from the Old testament. A few of them were a little stretched...

Happy 11/11/11!

December 27: I got my YW Recognition Award

December 25: Christmas Day

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

2012 is going to be awesome! (unless we all die of course :D )

The Yeti Took Over

And...this picture pretty much sums up my Christmas!

 Well at least the presents...

Hope you had a great Christmas! I sure did. Well you've already seen (a couple posts ago) I was festive enough for church. If you would like to see how my day went just visit the family blog. But now, I will explain the above picture.

First the hat.

I was at a friends house about a month ago and fell in love with her sock monkey hat. I asked if I could borrow it for a week but she said no. So I borrowed her little sisters panda hat instead. (I promise, I did ask her sister and she said yes) I totally wore it the whole week and then gave it back mourningly. Then I asked Santa for a cool hat like that one. He asked me where to get it (since I guess they don't make them in the N. Pole) and so I looked up "Wool Pilot Animal Caps" on the internet. Bingo! I found the hat I wanted right away. Not a dog or an owl or even a moose. Nope! I needed a Yeti hat (though the cookie monster hat came in second...) Mr. Yeti and I have been inseparable since Sunday. No really. I'm serious! I've taken it off to take showers and during prayers. That's pretty much it.

(Now my YW president is threatening to pierce it's horns and give it bright pink earrings....ick!)

And then there is the iPod touch.

I didn't really get it on Christmas day and it wasn't exactly a Christmas present in the normal way. Christmas money from the grandparents does come in handy though. So I got an mp3 player but I decided to sell it (since I already have an mp3 player anyway) so I could use that money, my Christmas money and some of my own savings to buy an iPod that I knew I would use more. So I'd say it's a Christmas present from a few different people and I'm pretty happy with it.

The Day I Wore Pajamas to Church

At first glance you might think I'm just wearing some festive clothes for church....

Look again. At second inspection maybe I look slightly...off?

Yup! Its Christmas day and you should dress up even more for church because of that right? {Uh-huh.} SO I did! Yes. Yes. Those are PJ pants. Oh and that red shirt is the shirt that goes with the pants...which means that I wore my PJs to church. (Not to mention the socks. Mismatched no less.)

OK maybe that was more of a rebel move more than anything but it made people laugh so I'm willing to make a crazy fool of myself sometimes if it makes someones day.

I hope you had a great Christmas too!!!

Into the Archives 43-Christmas 2003

12/22/2011

Christmas 2003 is the second Christmas I remember from my own memory (2000 being the first...its weird how my memory skips the 2 years in between).

One of my favorite toys I got was a Tinker-bear. I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking here...

 Oh but I loved her. (I think she came form Aunt Kari and Uncle Allen)

 A big marble run still loved by the whole family. (From the Reinsteins, I'm pretty sure.)

 And my first real porcelain doll from grandma and grandpa Webster.

And then there was the food machine...but that must be saved for a post of its own!

Into the Archives 36~Halloween 2008

 11/3/2011

I guess I probably should have done this one last week before Halloween but what ever. Post occasion works. I don't have anything from this year anyway.

This was Halloween 2008. We were at our friends, the Anderson's, house. We have been going to their house for various holidays my whole life. It used to be Easter and Thanksgiving but in the last few years it has mostly been just Halloween. Anyway after trick-or-treating Leslie got out a gingerbread house kit especially for the occasion. We used plenty of our candy to decorate it.

But my favorite part of the picture is this:

Bonus! My nutty brothers showing off the house:

Christmas 2000

I can't remember much and nether can anyone else. I was 4 and KEW was 1. And that is about it!

He is Risen

Happy Easter Sunday! Here is a really good movie of what Easter is all about:

Click to see the full talk by President Monson.

He is risen! He is risen! 

Tell it out with joyful voice. 

He has burst his three days' prison; 

Let the whole wide earth rejoice. 

Death is conquered, man is free. 

Christ has won the victory.
