I made a deal with my grama that if i bought half of it she would buy the rest for Christmas. So, i sold my ipod to get enough money. then, we just had a ward Christmas party and the young women had to decorate and clean up. We put snowflakes everywhere. and lights. it is a good thing i am tall because we would not have been able to put up half the stuff that we did if i wasn't. and i just want to say sorry to Kalyann Hatch for not coming to her dance recital last night. i wanted to come because you dance so pretty but i had the party and the cleaning and decorating and i just had  really busy day so sorry. I am also the new president of the beehive class in the hurricane 3rd ward. I also am getting really good at the piano. i love to play phantom of the opera songs. i have straight a's right now. 6 a's 2 -a's. i am soooooo excited for Christmas!!! auntie emily and her family are coming down on the 29th of December. which is also the day of Melanie's reception. and the day of a planning activity for the class presidents at 8 a.m.!!

Me

This is a picture of me that Shella took on the Rod Run. I think I could stand up a little straighter...Oh well!

Just to tell you

Ok, so I decided that my signature wasn't that cute. And FYI, I learned how to do it at The Cutest Blog on The Block. In tutorials. How to add a signature. Anyway, Just wanted to let you know.

Hi

So, I am really behind on posts so I thought I would tell you how much I love the Avengers. I have watched it at least 15 times. I also love the movie IronMan. My favorite Avengers are IronMan and Hawkeye. My favorite quote from IronMan is "Doth mother know, you weareth her drapes?" I laughed so hard!! :'D My favorite quote from Hawkeye is "I guess if I put an arrow through Loki's eye socket I'll sleep better I suppose." I just smiled and smiled! :) This is my new signature  I love it! :) Well, bye!

Random Thoughts

             

               Alright, I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would just post something random. I was just reading something on hiccups, when I remembered a funny moment. My Mom, Sisters, Grandma, Aunt Shella, and I were at D.I. like a year ago. Shella had the hiccups and was trying to get rid of them. I then thought of a great idea. I told her I was going to go look at the books. 

               I then left and let her walk away. Then, very quietly, I walked behind her until she got distracted by something else. I then ran up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. She almost dropped her purse because she jumped so hard. At first, she was mad at me and kept saying, "Bethany! Why did you do that?". After a while, she realized that I had scared away her hiccups. Then we both laughed about it and then we recounted the story to my mother and everyone else.

              Did I tell you? Shella is going to have a baby!! In January! You may have read my "Tribute To Shella" a couple weeks ago. I said, "Promise to take care of your "package" for me." 'Package' is code for baby. At least, it is supposed to be. Any way, it is a girl and the two names they like are Gabby and Meg. I want Meg. Not only because I think it is a cute name, but because her nickname could be something like Nut   or Nutmeg. You can comment for your choice of name if you like. p.s. Please vote for Meg!!!! PLEASE!!

             Any way, I just wanted to let you know! Oh, does anyone own a Samsung Galaxy 2 or a Kindle Fire HD? I am looking to get one for Christmas, and I am wondering which one is better. So, any thoughts? Thanks! Also, if you want any duct tape items, then go to this blog: followmetothepolkadottree.blogspot.com.  You will be satisfied.

So, talk to you later! Bye!! :)

This Weekend

This weekend was a long one because of fall break. We went up to the cabin for 2 days. We being Grandma & Grandpa Reeve, My family, and Zach and Shella. My dad, me, Zach, and Bryn and Lindy went on a deer hunt. We didn't get anything but I had fun. I spent time with my dad, got some extra snacks, and enjoyed some scenery. Tonight for Young Women's we made caramel apples. They were delicious! My dad was cutting up deer yesterday so I painted a master piece until he was done. Today while he did, I went outside and mowed the lawn. I like mowing the lawn because my lawnmower is like driving a Rhino or something. I will volunteer to do it more often, especially because it is getting colder around here. I love Hurricane because the temperatures are only extreme in the summer. I think our highest is like 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, just wanted to catch you up. I am very sorry that I missed like 12 days. I have been very busy. Bye!

Tribute to Shella

So, today is Shella's birthday. She is turning 24 years old! She is getting really old. I mean really. 24? Seriously! Anyway, do you remember the tarantula George? Well, he died while serving as a Halloween decoration. So, we now have 2 king snakes in the terrarium. Fred and George. They are twins so it works out. So, enough talk. It is time for the tribute to Shella!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SHELLA!!!!   HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!! 

I LOVE YOU DEARIE!!!  KEEP GETTING OLD SO I CAN MAKE FUN OF YOU!!  ;) PROMISE TO BE SAFE WITH YOUR "PACKAGE"!! ;)

I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!   <3  <3  <3

:) :D :] :} :>  <3  <3  !!!!!!

Today

Ok. Today i felt like a sicky. I had a bad headache and stomachache. I took some excedrin and now I just feel groggy and like i have a cold. So, I sat on the couch during conference and did some embroidering. I did a girl, my name, and A family thing. Also, I have been working on a new blog for school. It is a business my friend and i started. We make duct tape stuff. The blog is pretty awesome. Well of course it is, I made it! ;) Any way, check it out: doyouheartheduck.blogspot.com

I just realized

Ok, so i just realized that my favorite saying is, Oh Well! It is what I say when i have done something wrong. Instead of saying something like, "Epic Failure! :(" I say, "Oh Well! :)" I challenge you to say that more often! Please try! :)

on second thought.....

Oh, so the horny toad Bryn caught turns out to be a girl. So, her new name is Ginny. ;) OK. bye

That...Is...So...YELLOW...

Ok, so I know I said I had a really big post for you the other day, but I tried to get pictures on and it wouldn't work so, I didn't do it. So, here is the big post without any pictures. While my mom was in Vegas with Shella, my dad and I painted me room yellow. Whoa, maybe I should go piratey. Nah, I'll just stick to regular English grammar. Anyway, the walls in my room are now totally vibrant yellow. Thus the title. My mom said these exact words when she walked in to my painted room: "Oh...my...word. That...is...so...yellow. ...It's Adorable!!" I was very relieved she liked it. Oh, we didn't tell her we were going to do it.  We also have a couple new editions to our pet selection. In all, we have, Fred the snake, George the tarantula, Bill the horny-toad, Percy the stick caterpillar, and Charlie the baby lizard. Yes, I am aware that the names are all Weasley boys. I purposely named them all that. So, there's the update! Later! Bye! :)

Sorry

Ok, I know that I haven't posted anything in a while, so, I have a really big post for you tonight. Soon. :)

This Weekend

All right. I had a busy weekend just barely. On Friday, we had the young women come over for a party. We had a taco bar, played games, and watched a sad movie that we all cried about. :'( That lasted until like 9:30 p.m. The next morning at 6:30 a.m. we left for the Time Out For Girls convention in Las Vegas. It was pretty awesome. We heard from Sandra Turley, Carmen Rasmusen Herbert, Brad Wilcox, and Jerico Road. They were pretty good speakers. :) Afterwards, we went to Cici's Pizza. We all got stuffed and then piled in the car for the ride home. My car was pretty crazy, we had Ngaia, Tylee, Bristol, Ashley, and Sierra. When I finally got home, I took a shower and watched The Pirates: Band of Misfits. It was pretty funny. Kind of like Sean the Sheep. :) Then we went to sleep. Today I woke up, went straight to Grandma's house (we didn't have church today) and played with dice. I went home for breakfast, it was delicious, and came straight back to Grandma's house. I am now typing this story on her laptop, ours, sadly, is broken. :(

The Dark Lights

A couple of nights ago, my dad came in to check on me. I had fallen asleep like this:

With my lights still on. He took a picture of me and turned off the lamp. (He told me this the morning after) When the light turned off, I jumped and said, "Dad, Dad, Dad" "Ya Bethany?" "Why are the lights so dark?" He answered, "Just go to sleep." "Night Dad." He finished his story then he started laughing and then I started laughing, then Lindy started laughing. Oh, my Mom was in Wyoming at this time. Just thought I'd let you know! :)

Snake!!

Today, after my mom got home from Wyoming, we were looking through the stuff she brought home. We were all about to disperse, when, someone called my mom. She said, "Ok" and then said to my dad, "Lyf, you need to go help my mom, there's a snake in her house and she's freaking out." (As many of you know, my Grandma Reeve is terribly scared of snakes.) Dad said Ok and started to go. Mom said, "No, like run, now." He took for the door. Of course, everybody asked where he was going. Mom told them what was going on and then we all bolted.

When we got to Grandma's house, she was standing in the great room with her hands over her face. Dad was over by her and was looking for the snake. I spotted the snake in the bathroom. Grandma looked like she was about to faint. She was taking deep breaths and still had her hands over her eyes. I asked her if she was going to have a heart attack. She said, "If you hadn't caught it, I would have!" My mom came in and burst out laughing. I left her to take care of Grandma and went with dad to see the snake.

We got it outside and decided to keep it as a pet. It is a king snake and is about 9 inches long. He is know as Fred, my name, Oreo, Bryn's name, Milky-way, the other girls' name, and Bandito, my dad's name.

     Here are some pictures of him in his new home:

When I went up to Bryn's room, (where he is now staying), to get these pictures, he was not in the terarrium. He had escaped. But then I found him and put him back in. I would have let my dad do it, but I wasn't scared because he is so small and his bite feels like a poke. My dad told me. There was a hole in the roof of the thing. So we fixed it! :) But, I am still glad that it is in Bryn's room because if it escapes during the night.. :/
Too bad for Bryn! ;) I hope Fred cannot climb stairs....

All right.

So, these are some pictures I took in February. I thought I would put them on.

 Um...these are all blossoms from, peach trees I think.

 Most of them are from Grandma's trees.

 Some of these are from my trees though.

 :)
