Update

I am FINALLY finished with my second quarter of schoolwork! Yay! And if anyone's curious, I have A's in everything except math.

Alison and Ethan are learning LOTS of new words! Some of their new words are poop, boo boo, truck, no, fight, and mine.

I have recently gotten addicted to Neopets again, and I have pretty much gone off of Toontown.

Ethan and I started Taekwondo last month with Mr. Lee. He's very nice, and we have learned the following moves:

Axe kick
Side kick (I'm not talking about the cell phone)
Roundhouse kick
And how to punch correctly. It's super fun, and I can't wait until I get my yellow belt.

Abby started ballet last month with Mom's old ballet teacher, Ms. Judith Ross. She is loving it, and has already made some new friends.

Ciao for now,

~*Sierra*~

Update

On December 1st, I had the privilege of attending the birthday party of one of my best friends, Liliana Rodriguez. She turned 10, and we had an AWESOME time! We played on her Wii, did a talent show, and played outside in her bouncy house and the lovely, glorious, 3-4 inches of SNOW!

On December 8th, it was my turn for a birthday party. I turned 12, and had an AWESOME time. We had a pinata, ghost stories, makeovers, and random, crazy dance parties. (If anyone's curious, I didn't fall asleep until 3 AM. Ahem! Moving on!)

Hanukkah started on December 4th. I got a Hannah Montana 2008 calendar, clothes, a gift card to Build a Bear, a 3 disc Selena CD collection, and 4-6 lovely, glorious books.

As you all know, Christmas is technically celebrated on December 25th. However, Ethan, Abby, and I celebrated it on December 21st. I got clothes, a new coat, new gloves, shower gel, Hannah Montana: Music Jam and Cooking Mama for Nintendo DS, and High School Musical: Sing It! for the PS2, a Hannah Montana blanket, a Hannah Montana pillow, Hannah Montana, Life's What You Make It DVD, and a Bedazzler. Oh yeah, and TONS of candy.

Happy birthday to:

Liliana
Aunt Desiree
Uncle Jack
My cousin, Nicole (Nicole, if you're reading this, what color is your hair now?)


The twinsies are expanding their vocabulary! Alison's new word is "mine." She repeats this all day and sounds like those seagulls in Finding Nemo. She says this when Baby Ethan tries to take her toys. My personal favorite is when she hits him, shake her finger at him, and say "NO NO NO! Mine!"

Baby Ethan's new word is "truck." He says this when he hears the garbage truck coming down the street. When he hears this, he RUNS to the window, continually yells "TRUCK!" and throws a hissy fit until we pick him up so he can actually *SEE* the garbage truck. (Those blasted rhododendron bushes get in the way) It's so cute!

Well, I have to go to bed. Ciao for now!

A-Z Me

A is for Avid book reader. A is also for Computer Addict, as Mom and Dad say.

B is for Babies.

C is for Creativity.

D is for Partially Deaf, as I tend to not listen to people from time to time. (Ahem)

E is for Energetic.

F is for Fwee! (Something I often say when I get excited) F is also for Frappucinos.

G is for "GIVE ME MY BOOK BACK!" Abby likes to put my glasses on and read my books when I'm not in the room.

H is for Hannah Montana, one of my favorite singers. H is also for Haikus, which I love to write.

I is for Inventive. I like to create things like piggybanks out of juice cartons, and snowglobes out of baby food jars. It is also for Israel Calderon, the ADORABLE Yorkie prince!

J is for "Just give me Alison, and nobody gets told on!" I often say this to Abby, as she is a bit clingy to Allycat when I'm not in the room. (And occasionally when I'm in the room as well)

K is for KitKats. They are one of my favorite candies.

L is for Lemon Gumdrops. YUM!!

M is for Mexican. I'm approximately 3/4 Mexican, Mom says.

N is for "NO!" When Abby tells me to kiss our dog on the lips.

O is my mouth when Baby Ethan finishes half of a grilled cheese sandwich in 2 minutes flat or less! :O

P is for Patience, which I severly lack.

Q is for Question. I am very inquisitve.

R is for "Really? I'll alert the news media. Would you prefer Komo 4, King 5, or Q13?" I often say this sarcastically when somebody says something totally obvious.

S is for Sarcasm, something I tend to use often. S is also for Starbucks.

T is for Tea, which I love to drink.

U is for Ugh! (As in, "gross" Ugh, not "weird" Ugh. Something I say when I see Uggs.)

V is for Vermicelli. Vermicelli means "worm" in Italian, and since I like to find earthworms and dissect them, I figured, why not?

W is for "WHOA!" (Something I say just about every time Abby shows me her face after she gives herself a makeover)

X is for Xylophone. I love the sound of them!

Y is for "YUCK! Do I have to eat these enchiladas?" (Something I ask Mom when she tries to make me eat enchiladas for dinner)

Z is for ZING! Which is the sound that Ethan's toy swords make when we duel together.


There! Happy, Mom? :)

Yawn...Yet another not so exciting update

My 12th birthday is in 10 days. Yay! Mom's dreading it, (she said it makes her feel old) and I'm anxiously awaiting it!

Aunt Desiree's birthday's also in 10 days.

And my Uncle Anthony's and cousin Nicole's birthday are at the end of December. (The 28th)


I've been getting straight A's in all subjects except math. (It's my worst and least favorite subject) I have a project due on Friday, so wish me luck!

I got an AWESOME new trophy on Neopets earlier. I'm now a Level 8 Games Master. : ) I'm hoping to get my prizes soon. (Level 8 is as high as you can go) And it only took me 5 days, instead of the allotted 7.

We got a new LCD flat screen TV. We all love it, and Ethan's excited because we have yet another remote. (What a boy...) The babies love it too! Mostly because the DVD player and VCR are at their height, which gives them 2 new toys to attempt to play with, but still! And what's funny, they know they're not supposed to be playing with them. Baby Ethan was playing with the DVD player today, and Mom comes along and Alison starts shaking her finger at him and saying "no, no, no!"

EEEEK!!!!

I haven't posted in 16 (!) days!

We had the honor of Chaeli Byrd (Yen Yen) coming to church on Saturday, September 15th! She was decked out all in pink! (Pink flower in her hair, pink dress, pink socks, and pink shoes that squeak when she walks!) Her grandma brought snacks for her, so she didn't get hungry, and I learned that she LOVES Cheerios and string cheese! (You could her her "mmmm!" ing all throughout the church.)

We are dog-sitting Israel Calderon for 3 weeks! Julianah: Izzy's doing great! He's been eating very well, but he refused to eat his Honey Nut afternoon snack yesterday. (We'll try it again later today) He absolutely loves playing tug-of-war with his pull rope, and wrestling the lamb/sheep away from me when I make it squeak. He said to tell you that he loves you, and that he misses you.

Oh, yes, and Mom got a bladder infection yesterday. We went to the walk-in clinic yesterday, got her some medicine, and now she cannot have calcium-enriched foods and beverages, or caffeine, much to her dismay. (I have a feeling she's REALLY going to miss her daily Chai and Pepsi)

Well, that's pretty much it for now.

Update

School started today. Luckily, I only have 6 subjects. They are:
Math
Science
Social Studies
English
Bible
and Spanish. (I'm not taking Health and PE this year) So far, the classes seem okay. (Except for Social Studies. I had to watch 7 (!!) 20 minute long videos. BLEH!) I finished around 12:30 PM.

Ethan, Abby, and I went to a picnic/fair on Saturday! It was at Lynndale park. There were games, bouncy toys, a talent show, and more! (I told 2 jokes at the talent show) One of the bouncy toys was an obstacle course. I won every race, except for 2. (One was a tie, and I lost the other one by 3 inches or so, as they got a head start.)

Awana started yesterday! Ethan is now in T&T, Abby is still in Sparks, and I am still in T&T. However, it is my last year. :( I'm thinking of being a helper for the Cubbies next year, though.

Small Update

I added some new music to my blog, and I'll be putting up a new poll soon.

Dad's going to a Dave Matthews concert at the Gorge today with one of his friends.

We started watching a new baby, Caleb, last week! He is 3 months old, and very cute. (He cries A LOT, though) I'll put a picture of him up soon.

School is starting soon. :( (BLEH!) It starts on September 10th. Ethan is thrilled, and can't wait to start, while Abby and I are quite the opposite. Ethan will be going into the 3rd grade, Abby'll be going into the 2nd grade, and I'll be going into the 6th grade.

I know my birthday is more than 3 months away, but I already know have a few ideas for the main things. (The theme, guests, etc.) I'm probably going to either have a Mexican fiesta, or a monkey party. (In terms of food, I'm leaning towards the monkey party, as I'm not fond of much Mexican dinners, such as enchiladas, taquitos, etc. But I do like quesadillas! And I do LOVE Mexican desserts!) I'd like to mix the two somehow, but how do you make a Mexican monkey fiesta?) I want a small party this year. (Only about 6 guests or so) And maybe if Mom lets me, I might be able to have 3 girls sleep over!

...And that's pretty much it. Ciao for now!

O_O

I was leafing through one of the schoolbooks I'll have to use this year in 6th grade, and I found a couple of sections that were totally 100 percent wrong. *Snicker*

The first one explains how Earth began. (It says that 15 billion years ago, a tiny singularity expanded, and at that moment, which is known as the Big Bang, space, time, and the raw materials of everything were created.)
The second one tells us all about evolution. It also shows pictures of how we supposedly evolved from ape-like animals. (Even I know that's not true, and I'm only 11!)

So, yeah. I know more about some subjects than the text-book does. It just amazes me how my school could even send me something that's totally 100 percent wrong! (Well, on some chapters, anyways)

Ay, yi yi. This is going to be a long school year.

Mini Update

I now have my own Toontown account! I am currently in the process of switching my Toon from Ethan's account to my new account. (It takes 1-2 days) It should be switched over soon, as I sent the info a few days ago.

I miss my twins! :( I haven't seen them in almost 3 months. (Their Mom's a school teacher, so we only watch them during the school year)

I'm currently in the process of editing The Adventures of Candy Girl and Monkey Boy, Volume 2, Mr. Healthy's Revenge! I don't know what I'll be selling it for quite yet, but I won't make it too expensive! (Hey, I have to make money off of it somehow, right?)
