I don't know what to title this as.

Hi! I want to know how everyone's holidays have been. Mine was GREAT! My cousins from my moms side came from Colorado and Massachusetts. I am at my grandmas house playing with them right now! And I am sorry but I can't post the pictures from Hawaii because for Christmas my dad wanted to get me a new phone so he had to take my phone and guess what?!? I got one! And it is the best Christmas present EVER (besides my dog, nala) it is an iPhone 4 and I LOVE it. About my friend. She came and me and my friend Megan went I the airport and surprised her! So a great Xmas! Well I'll talk to you guys soon!

I promise!

And the moment you've all been waiting for.. well I am going to post pictures in the next 3 days. Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. I am so exited for Christmas! Except, I don't really have any Christmas spirit this month, acctualy, I think I had more Christmas spirit last month than this month! Because, in Hawaii its hot. It never snows. You don't hear your typical Christmas music, like yesterday, we went to the flee market and it was playing jingle bell rock, except it was saying "yellow man, yellow man, yellow man rock..." what the heck is a yellow man? They also don't have that many Christmas decorations. But everything is OK! Because i am so glad I get the oppertunity to come here. I still have, 4 days to get in the Christmas spirit! Yeas, i am coming home wed. I am sad to leave but I'm also super excited because I miss all you guys and I miss my dogs and my friend is comeing the day we get back! I'll tell you guys all aboyt the rest of my trip later, with pictures I promise!
Happy holidays everyone! Hope to see ya'll sooner than later!

Snorkeling!!!

We went snorkeling yesterday, and for those of you who have BEEN snorkeling, well, you know what its like, but so far it has been THE BEST part of this trip. So, when i first came here (2004, i was 5yrs old) I WOULD NOT go in. No chance. I would just sit there and cry. This time, i hesitated. On Monday we practiced in a shallow part just to see if i could actually DO it. And i did, it was just...Gross. There was slimy moss crap on every rock you touched! NASTY!!! Then (Also on Monday) Me, my dad, and Ryan went a little farther down the beach into where it was A LOT DEEPER (Good thing) and we didn't see much, we saw a sea slug but that's pretty much it, unless you call Rocks and Sand "Something to see". So anyway, then next day we went to Sharks Cove, which as i heard is by far is one of the best snorkeling beaches to go to. Jacob was a genius about all this stuff and told us just about everything you needed to know, and i mean EVERYTHING. We were finally one our way. i HATED the rocky shallow part, because i was so scared of the sea urchins (Jacob explained ALL about those.) But after that we got to the deep part. It was SO COOL. i cant even EXPLAIN HOW COOL IT WAS. There was big rocks, cool underwater plants and BILLIONS of fish, every color and shape, and size. Ryan even saw a manta-ray! Dan saw a turtle! Anyway, were gonna go again, and i CANT WAIT! See you guys!
Love,
your crazy about snorkeling cousin, sister, neice etc.

Babysitting (sorry this is long but READ IT ALL!)

I havn't baby-sitted in a while now, but i did tonight. It was fun, i baby-sitted a 4 1/2 year old and a 6 year old (boys) It was really fun, we watched the smurfs, then we played games, then bedtimes stories, then bed. I still had 2 hours to be there after they had gone to bed, so i went downstairs, and sat on the couch and read a book. They had a dog named Wrigley. He was SUPER CUTE, but SUPER HIPER, and wild. He kept picking up his dog bed and swinging it around in his mouth, then he would put his soggy wet bone on me. They had told me that the dads aunt would be coming at like 10 (they would be home at 10:30)to stay overnight from Logan. I heard a knock on the door and went to unlock it and let their aunt in. As i opened the door, as you probably expected, Wrigley bulted out. he ran as fast as he could down the street and kept on going, i didn't know what to do, i ran after her, she finally stopped and sniffed around for a while, so i sneaked up to grab her collar, but every time she saw me getting close, she ran off even further. Cars were going by really fast at the end of the street. I went back. The old aunt was trying to help, but wasn't doing much. I went back to look for her again, and she ran into a FENCED HOUSE, as i followed closely behind yelling, then she runs into the back yard, and there was no way i was going in the back of some RANDOM PERSONS backyard late at night screaming. I started to cry because i knew that this dog was NOT COMING BACK, I started planning out what i was going to say about her running off in my head when they came back.The aunt walked out with a pizza slice in her hand (to reel the dog in) and told me to go inside incase the boys woke up, so i did. before a while the aunt told me to go get a leash and she would get her in. Finally we got her in after more than a 1/2 hour of trying. I was so mad at that dog. But i petted her inside for a while so glad that she was back (after the pizza, she got so addicted that she jumped up onto the counter and started trying to get in. Well later the people came back and they gave me $30.00(YAY!) And it all went good, i didnt say anything about Wrigley but im sure the aunt will tell them. Well That is is, sorry this is so long. I am happy if you read this all.
