Birthdays, e-mail addresses, weather, French Manicures, Pirates, our Cousins, and American Idol

I know I don't update my blog very much, but I actually have a few interesting things to write! *Gasp*

My friend, Lindsey, turned 13 on Wednesday. However, I slept over at her house on Saturday to celebrate it.

I (FINALLY!) got my cousin's working e-mail address! I know it might not seem like such a big deal to most people, but we haven't contacted each other in months.

It was actually *gasp* sunny yesterday! And on top of that, it was warm out! YAY! I was thrilled to be able to go outside to read a book on a swing without freezing my butt off! The downside? TONS of bees! And what's worse, there's a HUGE rhodedendron bush outside of my bedroom window.

I finally got off my lazy butt and decided to use a manicure kit I got for Easter a few years ago. I gave myself a French manicure. (Only on my thumbs, though. My other nails were too short) It doesn't look too bad, either! Granted, it stank up my room, but still! It can always be aired out. (For those who were wondering, I painted the rest of my nails clear.)

POTC (Pirates of the Caribbean) 3 came out last night! I already know what happens, since I bought the book last Friday, but I still want to see it, despite the lack of humor that the other 2 had.

2 of our cousins, Tyler and Christian might be coming for a visit this summer. We don't know the details yet, but Mom said that it's more than likely that they'll come.

Like I predicted since the auditions, (not kidding) Jordin Sparks won American Idol! Looks like I'll have to save up to buy her upcoming CD.

And, that's pretty much it! Bye for now!

American Idol, and you know what

Tomorrow's the American Idol Finale! It's going to be great! I can't wait to see who wins, because I really like Jordin Sparks, but Blake (Lewis) is a local, so I don't know who I want to win.

I finished school on Friday! My final grades are the following:

Science: B+
Social Studies: A
English: A
Bible: A-
Math: B
Health/PE: A



Not too bad, eh? And now, (this is the best part!) I have absolutely NO MORE schoolwork to do until the next school year! *Dances* Ah, the joys of finishing early.

More Birthdays, you know what, Paintings I've been working on, iPods, weather, baseball, Kohl's, Spiderman 3, and the Flu

Happy birthday to....

Ethan and Alison! (The Dumo twins) They turned 1 year old on Friday, and their birthday party was on Saturday. Baby Ethan absolutely LOVED his cake, (he tried to stuff the whole piece in his mouth at once!) while Alison ate hers slowly, dainty bite by dainty bite.

My friend, Lindsey, who will be turning 13 on the 23rd!

My cousin, Alex, who will be turning 3 on the 21st!

And our stupid, but lovable, dog, Cassie. I think she'll be turning 5, if I remember correctly.


I'm finished with 3 subjects for the rest of the school year; Math, English, and Health/PE. Yes, you read that right; FINISHED! My final grades for Math, English, and Health and PE are the following:

Math: B
English: A
Health/PE: A


My lowest grade so far is a B, which is in Math. (My worst subject!) However, I got an A on my final Math test. It was pretty easy; there were only 21 questions.


I'm FINALLY almost done with the painting I've been working on since the day after Easter or so. (I took a break for a few weeks, but still!) It's quite complex, which is why it's taking me so long to finish it. (It's a picture of 3 dolphins jumping out of the water at a beach) The water took me a SUPER long time to finish. I'm about halfway done with the dolphins.


I got my iPod Nano replaced in late April! (The battery was being used up WAY too fast, and I could only play about 6-12 songs before the battery died!)


It's actually been *gasp* SUNNY for 5 days in a row! It was about 70 degrees on Monday, and it's supposed to be about 60 degrees (I think) for the rest of the week. Either way, I still don't believe the weatherman/weatherwoman. (Once, at one of Ethan's baseball games last year, the weatherman said it was supposed to be super cold that day, and rain like crazy, but guess what the weather was like at the game? 70 degrees, and VERY hot! And what's worse, I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. To all of the people reading this, NEVER believe the weatherman! Follow your gut, instinct, whatever!)

Speaking of baseball, Ethan's team started playing again recently. I'm the helper of the team, and my personal job is helping Abbey Drake (the daughter of the manager of the team) run to bases, try to catch the ball when it comes near her, etc.


I FINALLY got to use some of the money on my Kohl's gift card that I got for Christmas! I got 2 super-cute halters, one of which I'm wearing as I type! The one I'm wearing is bright yellow, with white trim, and 1 white stripe near the middle. The other one has tons of stripes. (They're green, yellow, red, orange, and white)

I got to see Spiderman 3 on Saturday! (The first one was a lot better) It was kind of boring, considering that I'm not a Spiderman fan. But it was okay, I suppose. Did you know that when it came out, it was the #1 movie? And it grossed $148 million dollars in its first 3 days! Neither did I, until I went to my homeroom (in school) today.


'Tis the season to get sick, fa la la la la, cough sputter barf!
Mom, Kelvin, Kelvin's parents, the twins, and the twins' mom all caught the flu recently. Luckily, it only lasted a couple of days. Now, everybody, (except the twins) is fully recovered.

....And that's pretty much what's been happening lately. Ciao for now!

Happy Birthday, Pookie!

Happy birthday, Pookie!

Pookie turned 7 yrs. old on Monday, March 19th, 2007. She got lots of presents, including a dress from Mom and Dad, a dress-up dress from Julianah and Elijah, lots of art supplies, Littlest Pet Shop stuff, and TONS of Barbie Fairytopia, Magic of the Rainbow.

New Beds!

Guess what Dad and Ethan picked up yesterday?

If you guessed a bunk bed, you were right!

It took approximately 2 hours to set it up, and another hour to make our bed, move stuff around, etc. We still have to put up our stuffed animal nets, but we'll do that later.

In addition, Ethan also got a new bed. (Well, it's not really new, since his current mattress was my old one) But he did get one of those box thingies that you put under the mattress. He also got a new headboard, but Mom ordered the wrong size by mistake. *Insert headdesk here* (She ordered a King-size headboard, while she meant to get a Queen or a Full. I can't remember which)

It's about time!

It's SNOWING! We have gotten approximately an inch so far. Anybody else gotten snow recently?

CDs, the Flu, the Twins, yet another Sleepover, and you know what. ;)

I just finished burning some songs onto a CD! I couldn't put as many songs as I wanted to on it, but I still got to put some good songs on it.

It's official; Dad has finally caught the flu! He threw up once that I know of, during American Idol. He said that barfing made him feel a bit better, and that he coughed up a lung. (Gross!)

It's Thursday, which means things are VERY hectic around here! The twins go home for the week on Thursday, I need to start packing for the sleepover soon, and, as always, we have school. : (

Speaking of school, you can now send videos of yourself, and they'll post them on the website. However, there is a twist; you have to tell them what you like about school best. Any ideas about what to say? (I'm thinking of sending a video)

'Tis the season for the flu, fa la la la la, cough sputter barf!

Ethan got the flu last week, and guess who got it this week? Abby, Kelvin, Mom, Rachel, baby Ethan, and I. (Dad's starting to get it now, too) I currently have the record for puking the most amount of times while I was sick. (It's not really something to be proud of, but hey, it's something)

I'm going to a sleepover at my Awana leader's house! It's on Friday, at 7:00 PM. I can't wait! My friend, Deedee, might be going as well. I just can't decide what movie or CD to bring. Any suggestions? (By the way, it has to be a Disney movie, and it's can't be rated PG-13, or R) Since Pirates of the Caribbean is PG-13 for "frightening images and adventure violence," it's a no-go. : ( I'm thinking of burning some of my favorite songs onto a CD, though.

I got brand new bedding last Friday! The blanket and pillow shams are white, with multi-colored circles on it, and the sheets and the pillowcases are green with white circles on them. It is super comfy, and very cool looking.

I got LOTS of sugar for Valentines Day! Rachel's mom brought cupcakes and valentines, Mom and Dad bought us frosted sugar cookies, and Kelvin's mom surprised us with cherry and apple turnovers and goodie bags, filled with conversation hearts, lollipops, and many more things that I can't remember.

Dad went to a Rat Dog (don't ask) concert on Saturday, and danced so wildly, that last night, during American Idol, he was complaining that his calf hurt.

I got to go out to Azteca last Friday! I had a Shirley Temple and a Mexi Hot Doggie, which is a beef hot dog, with melted cheese, inside of a tortilla. (Yum!) It was very good, but I had too many chips before they actually served us the food, so I couldn't finish it. It was really yummy, though.

The new Bloggers are coming, the new Bloggers are coming!

Hi everyone! My friend Lindsey, mentioned in numerous posts, now has her own blog, thanks to yours truly! Come check it out here!

Snow, Sleepovers, the Twins, My Birthday Party, Toontown, eBay, and the Holidays

Hi everyone! This should be a super long post, since I haven't updated my blog in more than a month.

We've had snow for about 5 days or so now! We currently have about 1 or 2 inches right now, since the majority of the snow we had a few days ago is now ice.

I slept over at Deedee's house on Saturday! We went sledding in her driveway, had a couple of snowball fights, played "The Game of Life" approximately 5 times, and played with her grandma's old cell phone.

After the first snowball fight, her behind was numb, thanks to yours truly, so we inside the house to play "The Game Of Life," watch Hannah Montana, eat popcorn, and drink hot chocolate. Anyways, her behind was so numb, it started to itch, she said, so she made a home-made hot pack, (hot water inside a Ziploc bag) put it in her pants, and it popped in her pants! (Can't you just picture my reaction?) I almost wet myself laughing! Heck, it looked like she wet herself!

Ethan and Alison should be here soon! (They both have colds, though. : ( ) I bet that even though Alison is sick, she'll still be happy to see me. (I'm not lying, either. When she arrives at our house, I usually get out my room about an hour later or so, and the second she sees me, she starts screaming and laughing hysterically!)

Julianah, Julianah's Mom, Julianah's cousin Elijah, Deedee, Lindsey, Liliana came to my birthday party. We had pizza, 2 different cakes, (I only got to eat one of the cakes, though. : ( Although the one I did get to eat was DELICIOUS!) and lots of chips.

Liliana, Deedee, and Lindsey slept over. Now, only Liliana's allowed to sleep over again, because she and I weren't being loud like some other people, mentioned above.

I can now access almost all of the things Toontown has to offer, because Ethan bought a subscription, and he let me make a Toon on it! Her name is Vanessa H. . (Anyone else have a Toon in Toontown? If so, let me know!)

I'm selling lots of things on eBay, so if you want to buy something, or if you just want to browse to see what I'm selling, go to this link: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZdeniseopperQQhtZ-1

Who knows? Maybe you'll find something that you want to buy!

Happy (late) New Year's, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa, everybody!

Julianah might be coming over today! (I hope she does, because I have a present for her)

Well, I think that's about it, so good-bye for now!
