I'm so into Chronicles of Narnia now. I believe I started the books three days ago and I'm now on the fourth! Price Caspian. I really like C.S. Lewis' writing style. It's so simple and clear.
One funny part about his writing is that whenever the protagonist sees something amazing for the first time, like a talking horse he'll say "Hullo! It's a talking horse!" And that's the end of his surprise. I guess it makes sense though, because if I were C.S. Lewis I would get sick of having to write the character's surprise because if he wrote a realistic amount of surprised, I think that the character would be surprised through the whole book.
Overall, I love the books!
That's basically why I'm posting: To say that anyone that hasn't read them should get to it!
My favorite so far is probably Prince Caspian (although I'm not done with it...) and my least is The Horse and His Boy.

Okay. So I am getting a little sick of break. There's not much to do. I've been reading The Chronicles of Narnia and I'm on the third. The Horse and His Boy.
Audrey came over yesterday and she brought Guitar Hero. It was rather fun, but the graphics were poor and it wasn't as good as DDR or Karaoke Revolution. She has also read Twilight and loves it. We're hoping to get together again to discuss it. And just have fun. Which is good 'cause I've been missing my friends.
And on that thought, I end this post.

Six Hours
Oh noes! Christmas is already over! How sad. It was good while it lasted though. I got some great things. I'll spare you from writing down everything I got though. Most of you people reading this were there.
I LOVE having breaks from school. Did you know what I did yesterday? I watched Pride and Prejudice (the old version) that I got for Christmas with Andrea. All six hours of it. And that's basically it. Ahhh...
Christmas Eve was fun as well. We went to the Bronson's, so of course it was enjoyable. I mostly just hung around Krista and Ben.
Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve) we went to the Inokuchi's to carol, and that was extremely fun! But dangerous. Anytime you combine Sara, Krista and me is dangerous.
I realized that I'm writing events backwards, but you're smart people so I'm sure you've already figured that out. =)
Because of my lack of activity yesterday and today, I shall end my post here!

Falalalalalalalala...
Unrelated title. Oh well.
Friday was fun! I went to a choir party and we went caroling. One house we went to was especially fun. The man that opened the door offered a 5 dollars to whoever sang the loudest. I won. Woohoo! Only 5 bucks, but still. Here are some pictures from that night.
My friend Aubrianna. She's two years younger than me.
Matthew Perry. The party was at his house. He's one of the funniest people I know!
From left to right: Laura, Corina, Cynthia, Caroline.
They're all really fun, and Corina's really fun to tease. =) In a nice way.
Holly Ann and Erika. I don't know Holly Ann very well, but Erika's my good friend.
Matthew being... himself?
Me! Don't my legs look long in this picture? Weird...
Caroline and Zach.
The whole gang. Actually, I take it back. That's about half of the gang.
Also, Amy and Danny and Katelyn are here! That's extremely excitinggg! Katelyn keeps getting cuter and cuter. Her eyes are really blue now.
Today I'm wearing my maternity dress. YES, maternity dress. I bought it at Target on a clearance rack. I had no idea it was maternity until I had tried it on, bought it, and took off all the tags. I found one of the tags I had taken off and it said maternity. EMBARRASSING. Welll, it doesn't look like maternity, so it must be like for one month or something. =)
Well, that's basically it. I have to go to church now!

Sick!
Oh deary me. I'm sick. I have a really bad sore throat. Mom thinks it's strep and I'm going to the doctors at 2:30.
Mom is actually hoping it's strep so I can take medicine and get over it faster. I'm guessing it is, because there have been few time in my life where I had a sore throat and it didn't turn into strep. Ah well, the good thing is that because I do home school I won't get behind on school.
I'll post later to say if it's strep or not.

Phew!
PHEW! I am SO glad that week is over with. So much happened. Tuesday through Friday I had choir practices everyday. Saturday was our performances. We usually do one performance for each semester, but Bee found that too many people came to the Christmas concert, so we split it up into two performances. So on Saturday I was singing from 9:45 to 4:30. But that's not all! On Sunday we had the Interfaith Choral Festival that we performed in. Everyone was great in that. ESPECIALLY the LHS Chamber choir. They were amazing.
So my voice is rather sore now. I've basically been singing for a week straight.
All I have left of choir now is a party on Friday.Woohoo! That'll be fun. We'll be going Christmas caroling.
I'm really tired right now, so I shall end this update.

Performing With CTC
Today, after church, Mom and I went to the church Cantabella practices at to perform with the CTC (Cantabella Training Choir- AKA the little kids) for a thank you concert. We were apparently thanking them for letting us use their building.
Anyway, it wasn't the who Chamber choir, just about ten of us. Uh, it was interesting. The CTC sang this three part song that was way too hard for them, but the rest of the songs were unison and really cute.
Wyatt, Aubrianna (Yes, Aubrianna! That's her name! =D ) and I were the only Chamber members from Livermore and we were also the lowest part. We sang our parts well, but for some reason, it didn't sound too good. Hmmm...
Over all, it was pretty boring. Wah. And CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT STOOD NEXT TO ME-coughWyattcough- were annoying the heck out of me.
The CTC were really scared of us, so I kept smiling at the friendlily, but I think that scared them more. Oh well. Be scared if you want.
The funniest part of that whole thing was at the end when Bee gave us (Chamber) candy bars but said that the CTC couldn't get any because there we too many of them, so we should hide them. When we came out of the room, we were laughing and hiding our candy and when a little girl tried to get into the room, a boy from Chamber stopped them and told them they couldn't go in. Then the little girl turned around to her friends and said with total attitude "What is going on in there? What are they hiding? I want in." It made my day. Don't ask why. Just the way she said it was hilarious.
Sorry if anything I said in here wasn't very clear, but I'm tired and can't think straight.
Not that I usually can. =)

Hrum pum pum pum pum pum pum pum pum pum pum pum...
In choir we are singing Little Drummer Boy, which I would normally be excited about, except for the fact that the only words I sing are 'hrum' and 'pum'. I'm alto 2, the lowest part. Of course. Give the boring part to the low people. =(
One happy thing about choir though:
Before, whenever Pleasanton Chamber and Livermore Chamber were joint for practice or were performing, I'd be in the front row. Now I've been promoted to second! Yay for being tall! (Never thought I'd say that!)
Ah, just a small update, but oh well.

This is a title.
I really hate making up titles for my blog posts. I'm bad at it too.
Yesterday (Sunday) was extremely fun. In Sunday school we watched a movie about Gordon B. Hinckley and ate popcorn. And chocolate chip cookies. AND brownies. (That's what happens when your classmate-Peter- is an excellent chef. =D )
Then in YW I discussed Enchanted (an EXCELLENT movie Nikol and I saw with the Graves family) with Jessica and we laughed our heads off. She loved it even more than I did.
So the thing that made me cry in Matt's talk was this: He was teaching a woman who's husband sudden had had a mental breakdown and was in a mental institution and she immediately was hooked on the gospel and was baptized. the night before he went home from his mission though, (I believe it was then...) he got a call from someone saying that the woman's husband had been let out the the institution but wasn't doing well. He had shot and killed his wife. It was so sad. I felt so sorry that that had happened.
Sad.
Well, is that enough of an update? I believe so.
Bye!

I've Been Tagged!
Gasp! I've been Tagged. What to do? How about follow the instructions?
Post the rules at the beginning of your post. The rules: Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people.
1. I'm not much of a "quality time" person. Don't be surprised if I disappear for a while occasionally. I'm not escaping you! I just have a habit of wandering... around... a lot...
2. I tend to stick out my tongue when playing DDR. I know, weird. But it just happens! Maybe it runs in the family, Justin (cousin) does it too.
3. When I get into something, I obsess over it for a week or two and then get bored of it. Yeah, I have a short attention span.
4. I LOVE MUSIC. Yeah, it may seem boring, but it's true! Every way shape and form, I love it. Singing, dancing to it, and listening to it. Mom knows my ipod is CONSTANTLY in my ears.
5. I'm rather talented at faking an accent. Haha. I have fond memories of singing 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with mom in the car with an Australian accent (Does that remind of Clue? Mom, in the car, with an Australian accent! Haha, I think too much. )
6. I tend to play with my bottom lip when I'm nervous. Don't ask why, even I do not know.
Yay! Most of the people I know have already been tagged, but I'll tag some of my friends. Emmy, Genna, Sara...
So there! =)

AOSA
Yesterday I went with my choir to an event called AOSA. It was great! I rode in the car with Audrey, Corina, and Erica and we had lots of fun. We performed well, even though we did mess up at times.....
Sorry for the unenthusiastic post, but I'm tired and sick... =( Poor me! I might edit this post later to write more, but right now, I'm done. I hope I get well soon!!

Talents
I know it says this entry wasn't written on the 11th, but it was, well partially. I finished it later. =)
Church was great. Actually- church is always great, so it was EXTRA great. I gave my talk pretty well. I looked up and spoke clearly. Phew! I always mumble, so I was afraid no one would understand me, but when I heard my self, it sounded fine.
I got a lot of compliments on it. Yay, me! I'm so grateful I don't get nervous about these types of things.
Sunday school was fun as usual. I missed everyone. Gone for ONE week and I missed them. -sigh- I get so attached to people.
However, Young Womens was what was truly amazing. It was a lesson on Sharing Talents. When our name was called, we went up to the front of the class and sat in a chair. Then our Young Women leader gave us each a box with a small piece of paper that was listed with one, two, and three. The first one had something written next to it, but the other two didn't. Sister Lignell (the leader) said the first one was what the leader decided was my noticeable talent, the second would be what the other girls thought I was talented at, and the third was what I thought one of my talents were.
I did a double-take at what was written next to #1.
"Adventurous. You are not afraid to try new things!" I was NOT expecting that. But then Sister Lignell said to the girls, "Aubrey is learning to speak Japanese. On her own." All the girls gasped and Megan Graves said "Japanese? I can barely handle Spanish- no- I can barely handle English!"
Well, I guess that's adventurous. I had never thought of it that way. The other compliments were "Fun to laugh with", "Good singer", "always smiling", and "artistic".
For the third- what I thought I was talented at- I said listening. I dunno if I'm good at it, but I love doing it. I love finding random things out about people. It's so interesting.
So- I loved that talent idea so much, I shall make a list of my own for my family.

Sorry!
Sorry I'm totally slacking on my blog... It's not like I've been busy or anything... I'm just lazy. =)
Today I helped Dad tear out the carpet in Mom and his room. Mostly I just tore up staples though.
Other than that, it's been a rather uneventful day.
I've been reading a lot though. I started reading Pride and Prejudice, and it's really good so far.
Oh- I'm speaking tomorrow at church! Woohoo! I can't decide whether to freak out or jump for joy: it depends on my mood, I guess.
Ah, well, there. You happy? I updated. And an amazig update it was... =)

I guess I'll update!
Hellooo! I haven't updated in forever because I was mad at my blog. It takes FOREVER to upload pictures! But anyway, here they are:
My Halloween costume!
My Halloween costume!
Buahahaha.
Halloween night!From left to right:
Alicia, Krista, Cassi, Lauren, Audrey, me, Jane
More Halloween!First row, left to right: Krista, Alicia, Audrey, me.
Second, left to right: Lauren, Cassi, Jane.
Yay!
This is when Jakob and Katelyn first met. Awww.
Katelyn in her blessing dress. It was SO CUTE!
The whole family! Well, I guess I should update what has actually been going ON. I went to Utah, but since most of the people that read my blog were THERE, I won't go into much detail. But it was really fun, and I can't remember the last time I went on a trip with Ryan. Wow. Jakob and Katelyn were so cute together because Jakob kept trying to eat Katelyn. Haha.
I'm REALLY lazy right now, so I won't say much more except that it's amazing to me how homesick you can get in four days. I'm never homesick on the actual trip, but when I get home I'm like, "HALLELUJAH!"
Yep.

Jacob Black
So, I had to take the test. And frankly, I'm not surprised about my outcome. But Jacob's nice. So I'm satisfied.
You're Jacob Black - You were raised to believe that family and community is the most important thing in life. You are also a fun-loving person who sometimes can see life a little too amusing and have trouble taking things seriously. Over all, you're a loyal and excellent friend to have.

YAYIT'SHALLOWEEN! Last night I was TOTALLY freaking out, because I didn't get to bed 'til past midnight. Therefore, I was awake during the first minutes of Halloween. THEREFORE I was too excited to sleep!
Anyway, Now I will explain yesterday's events. I was MISERABLE during choir (I know, be in shock!) because Bee said I couldn't leave early because I had missed too many practices. So THEN to top it off, she let us out 15 minutes late! So I didn't get out until 7:35. I was so mad, because I wanted to get to the dance!
So I got there, and most of the time I just hung around with Krista, Audrey, Alicia, and Mikki. Mostly the earlier three.
But I did dance with Ben Perry and Nathan Graves.
There's a story behind the dance with Nathan:
He had asked me to dance during a fast song, but he didn't want to dance to a fast one, so we decided to wait for a slower one. But then, after the fast song: THE DANCE ENDED. The DJ said we should get a closing prayer. I felt pretty bad... So I had to go, but then Audrey had to go back inside to get her jacket, and he was still in there, so I ended up dancing with him in the end.
So I was pretty sad, because the dance was INSIDE.
Bleh.
Oh- and by the way, I didn't even FEEL the earthquake, because I was too bust dancing! =D Hahaha. I got home, and we turned on the new, and we saw all of these pictures of stuff that had fallen off shelves in stores and stuff. O_O Nothing happened at the dance though...
Also, I WOULD post pictures of my Halloween costume I have, buuutttt... I can't find the chord that connects the camera to the computer. =( So you'll have to wait.
Buhbye.

THIS is Halloween!
So, here I am in the MOST AMAZING HALLOWEEN COSTUME EVER. Well, my favorite. I really like it. I'm very indecisive when it comes to cosumes, but I finally decided on one:
A BANSHEE.
Well, that's what the costume is called. It's really cool. I love it. =] SOGRATEFUL.
But we went to Spirit to buy it, and it was horrible. Lots of the costumes there were gross or inappropriate. And some of the decorations were HORRIBLE! Never go to Spirit.
And if you have to, plan before hand what you want, close your eyes as you walk in and walk straight to the thing you want, buy it, GET OUT.
-sigh- I wish Mom's camera wasn't dead. Then I could post pictures of it.
I thought it was quite funny that I was a banshee, because as some people know, I can scream REALLY loud. REALLY REALLY loud. REALLY REALLY REALLY- you get the point. =)
Anyway, I'm off!

A History of Music in Five Minutes.
I've discovered something amazing, thanks to Audrey. It's called A History of Music in Five Minutes. It's this video Audrey showed me when she came over a while back. All it is is these men with these strange looking instrument- I mean, they're normal instruments (cello, violin, viola...), they just look strange. Anyway, they just play parts of all these famous songs in under 5 minutes. Their facial expressions are hilarious.
So it's become my addiction.
Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll just listen to it. It automatically cheers me up. I believe the band is called String Fever. Here's the link:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=uJVE2r6KJkU
There's another video by them that I like, but I'll give the link later if you COMMENT AND SAY YOU WANT TO SEE IT. =)
Buhbye.

Run like the wind...!
So yesterday, Ryan and Andrea came. It was VERY exciting, and Jakob was so cute. We met them at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch and then while they went to our house, mom and I went to DirectBuy to return carpet samples. -sigh- That was quite boring, except I DID get a sticker! Yay!
Back to Ryan and Andrea- They have the best Halloween costumes ever! They were very convincing. Ryan even sprayed his hair orange. He was Ron, Andrea was Hermione, and Jakob was Harry Potter! (Oh- by the was, in The Odyssey, there's a little girl named Hermione. I was reading it today, and I did a double take when I was the name. I wonder if that's where J.K. Rowling got it from?)
We got at the trunk-or-treat like an hour late because I was being stupid, (Long story, don't ask) and ate. I wasn't wearing a costume, but I had just sprayed my hair purple. When I was in line for food, Peter came up to his mom (who was talking to my mom) and said he had won a cake at the cake walk. FREE CAKE!? So I basically swallowed my nachos whole and ran down to the cake walk. I LOVE cake walks. =) Even though I was like the oldest one there... So anyway, I won some cupcakes. Mhm, but they weren't very good...
I went back up to my family, but I didn't stay for long, because Noah wanted to go on the hay ride. Okay, truth is, I wanted to go on the hay ride, and Noah did too, so I took him as an excuse to go. On my way down, I ran into Nathan Graves, who I barely recognized because of his BLACK FRO. So he came with Noah and me down to the hay ride place. We had to wait quite awhile, but eventually we got on.
When I got on, I couldn't find Nathan. Then he called me and I found him on the other side of the tractor, hiding. He had decided to run along the tractor instead of go on it.
Foolish Nathan.
But I thought it was funny, so I cheered him on. "Remember, Nathan... Run like the wind!"
He basically walked to whole ride, we were going so slow.
But it was funny because everyone thought he was part of the ride. Like he was supposed to be a monster running after us so the kids were SCREAMING and the adults were LAUGHING and I was laughing AND screaming. For fun. =)
That was a fun night, even though I didn't get to go trunk-or-treating because I came too late.
I don't feel like explaining what happened today, but I might later. It's all very confusing...
Bye.

Halloween Havoc.
I think I'm having a last minute freak-out period about Halloween. I don't LOVE love either one of my costumes anymore. Tomorrow for the church Trunk-or-Treat, I'm probably just going to Get my funny looking jean skirt and I shirt and put on my cape and be Little Red Riding Hood. Heh. Last year I went as a pirate, and my costume wasn't very comfortable, so I wanna be comfortable as the Trunk-or-Treat this year.
I think I got excited for Halloween too early this year, because now I'm all Excited-For-Halloweened out. Halloweened? Well, I feel like making up words.
Aubrey
PS
I was going through my old pictures, and I found this old one of when we went camping with the Inokuchis. Sara and I had walky-talkies, and so we made up code names. I was Batgirl, my campsite was The Bat Cave, and Sara was Supergirl. I forget what her camp site was. Anyway, here's the picture. It's really random.
In case you can't read it, it says Batgirl was here. Hey, it's hard to write with that stuff!
Yeah, random.
Bye!

Sing a Mile High!
I found the information to this choir competition my choir is going to next summer. It's called Sing a Mile High. It's in Denver (Woohoo!) and I believe we're staying in the dorms of a college there. VERY exciting. It looks like a fun schedule because every night we're doing something fun! The first night there's a Ice Cream Social, the second we'll probably go to a water slide park, and so on and so forth. =) I'm really excited about getting all these opportunities to sing... Everywhere... I'm bummed we didn't get to go Hawaii a few semesters back though... Wah.
We're also doing another concert in November. Bee (our director) says it's where directors come from all around the United States come to see us and other choirs perform so they can learn how to improve their own. VERY exciting. That's in San Jose.
And THEN we have one in DECEMBER. That's the Interfaith Choral Festival! I think it's at my church this year. Or is it always there...? Hm.
Anyway, I think I like choir too much for my own good. Correct me if I'm wrong. Heh. =)

Laughing is contagious...
Random title, sorry. It's a warm up we do in choir. =)
Nothing has really happened lately. It's been quite dull around here, actually. But I like it when it's dull on Friday... Don't ask me why...
It's really hard to update a blog when nothing is happening. Mom and I have just been hanging around... Watching movies... Heh.
Okay, I seriously have nothing to say. I just haven't updated in a little while so I decided to.
OH! I thought of something pretty exciting- I'm giving a talk in November in tithing. Yay! I love speaking. Brother Graves was surprised when I agreed so enthusiastically.
Well, anyway, goodbye!

I LOVE church!
I've missed my ward SO much! So, so, SO much! Today was my first day back to my ward in almost a month... I'm so grateful for just being able to go to church, but there's really something special about belonging to your own ward. It's like home.
While passing the sacrament, Michael- the mentally disabled boy in my Sunday School Class- kept saying "Aubrey! Aubrey's back!" Yaay. =) Michael is good at making you feel special.
I feel so much like family with my Sunday School class. It's not really the same with my Young Womens class. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Young Women leaders and the fellow young women, but I just feel closer to my Sunday School class. Probably because I've been with them longer, heh.
My Sunday School teacher, Brother Sanchez, is great. He's the father to Michael and is really good with him. He's an excellent teacher and lets us talk a lot. =D I also love all my fellow... 13 year olds? Haha. It's a pretty small class. Two girls- including me- and three boys. It's great because they're all so different. Ashlyn is laid-back and likes to joke around, Ryan is really quiet and smart, Peter is more loud and also has this lazy, sarcastic attitude. That sounds bad, but it's not, I promise! And Michael is always cheerful and willing to help.
I've come to appreciate things so much more now. Especially church.
What a good day! I hope everything continues to go well!

EEE HEE HEE HEE!
Well, I know I haven't updated for a little while, so I shall update now.
Life so far in California has been pretty calm. That's kind of the reason I haven't updated in a while... Ha ha. However, today was pretty interesting. To me, that is...
I went to the fabric store with my mom and we bought lots of fabric. I have a quilt I'm doing and I needed to get the front and back fabric. I also got some fleece so I could make a tie-quilt. Or whatever it's called. I love tying. It's super fun, and requires basically NO effort.
I also started crocheting on Sunday. (Ha ha! I feel so crafty!)
Today I had choir, and it was VERY exciting. Again, to me. I learned a new breathing technique. Actually, it's supposed to teach you how to breath more deeply. It's simple. All you do is close one nostril and breath deeply through it. Then you quickly count aloud until you run out of air. We had a contest and I got in 2nd with 58! Go me!
Then we learned a projecting technique that I personally thought was HILARIOUS! First, you bite on your thumb, and then put the rest of your fingers on your forehead. Then loudly say "EEE HEE HEE HEE HEE..." until you run out of breath. It was hilarious. And trust me, we DID sound louder that usual.
It felt good to be around me friends again. They were so kind, and we had lots of laughs. (Thanks to Jake and his overenthusiastic ways!)
Moral of the story: CHOIR IS FUN!
I'm sure there's a more deep moral in there somewhere, but I'm too lazy to find it. =D

Pictures From Utah
Here are some pictures for you of our trip!
My cousin Stephanie and I dressing up. Yay!
Come on, you gotta admit she's ADORABLE!
She's smiling for you!
This cracked me up so hard. What a face!
Awww...
What's going on?
This head is HILARIOUS! He can talk, or you can use a microphone to make him say anything you want. We had fun with it.
Amy and Katelyn! AWWW!
Well, hello there!

I'M HOME!
I didn't realize how much I missed home until I walked in the front door. Then I just wanted to hug the furniture. Wow. Everything seems so empty. I'm not used to all this space now... I love being home! I took a bath (Ahhh...) and just relaxed. The drive home was short, but that's because we never stopped for extra bathroom breaks. I don't have much to say, and I'm tired, but I'm going to post some pictures of the trip in another post. (Don't worry Amy, my blog is private. (= )
Then you'll get to see my niece! Well, some of you already have of course. Anyway, g'bye!

What to write...?
Well, I have plenty of things to write about, but I'm not sure what to write... I had another interesting dream last night, but it was only interesting to me, apparently. My mom looked a little bored when I explained the whole ordeal to her. So I'll save your eyes from having to read it.
At the moment, I am VERY EXCITED! There are only 2 days left including today, and then we'll be on our way home! However, I am also not too happy because I realized that as soon as I set a foot in the house, I'll miss everyone again. Wah!!! So I've decided to feel neutral for the moment, and just let time go by. Ah...
Today I bought the Twilight series. Well, MOM bought it, but I shall pay her back! I'm looking forward to reading the whole trilogy. Yay!
IOn a random note: I've noticed that I say 'well' a lot. Oops! Sorry if it bugs you!

Shampoo?
I had a strange dream last night...
I was at the pool with my cousins. But it wasn't a normal pool. It was a skyscraper type building that had about 3 1/2 - 4 feet of water throughout the whole building. But- before were aloud to go in the swimming area of the water, we had to wash our hair. But the weird thing was, the washing area was just roped off. It was still chlorinated and everything...
We had about seven choices of shampoo. They were mood altering shampoos. There was Friendship, Love, Hyper, Cool (Calm), and a few others. We wanted to all choose friendship, but then my Aunt (How did she get there?) Told us that it would turn our hair pink. So I chose hyper. I don't know what my cousins chose, because then the dream ended. Weird, eh?

Update!
Well, Andrea wanted to know what I'm probably going to be for Halloween, so here it is: Little Red Riding hood! I've been wanting to be her for a while, and Elaine had a great costume for her which she let me borrow. I love the cape, haha. It's great and I love it. The skirt has a weird length though... Hmmm...
Yesterday night I went shopping with my mom and she let me buy Pocky! Yum! It's a Japanese biscuits that is dipped in chocolate. My friend Monique (woohoo!) told me about it and I've wanted to try it before that too. It's addicting. I got two boxes.
So yesterday, Pocky was my exciting thing for the day. Haha. Exciting, eh?
Today Katelyn has been so cute. I think I'm making an improvement with babies because I got Katelyn to stop crying. Go me! Clap, clap.
Welll... I guess I'll stop writing now...

Katelyn Adelle Vickers
AAAHHH!!! My favorite (and only) niece was born yesterday at 2:01 pm. She is... 7 pounds and... something ounces (I can't remember!) and has pretty blond hair, although when we left last night we thought her hair had gone darker. And I'm sure this is what you've all wanted to hear:
SHE'S SO CUTE!
And so small, and red, and cute, and...
I heard from my mom that while Amy was in labor, as soon as Nicole walked in the room, Katelyn was born.
Before she was born I was thinking 'How different can one baby look from the rest?'. Now that I've seen both Jakob and Katelyn as newborns, I realize how different they are from each other. Especially with the hair color difference. Heh. But the features too. She has the cutest nose I've ever seen! I love her.
I've decided that most of her features are Danny's except for the nose, which is Amy's. Wait-! I forgot to look at the ears!!! Oh no! Who's ears?
For all of you people reading this blog, wondering "When the heck is Aubrey getting back?" I'm coming back on October 3rd. Oh- PS! I know what I'm probably gonna be for Halloweeeeen! =D Thanks to my aunt!

Might as well play the Jeopardy theme!
Yes, Amy's baby hasn't come yet...! Crazy!
Today's my 9TH day here in Utah... AAAHHH! I starting to lose it. It's fun though. I spent the day with the Robsons. They're always fun. Later that night I went to Hairspray with my cousins Shanlee and Megan. It was a pretty good movie, although when the show first started, I thought it might be a little stupid. But eventually, it got pretty good. It had a good theme too.
Today a went to church with my Grandma and Grandpa, but I was so tired from the crazy night before I nearly passed out in the middle of church! And I'm STILL tired.
Amy is guaranteed to go into labor sometime tonight... I'M SO EXCITED! Come, baby, come!
Speaking of the baby, I had a strange dream about her a few days back. When it started, I walked into a... well, I suppose it was a hospital room, but it looked more like a hotel room. Anyway, Amy and Mom were in there (Where are you Danny?) and apparently she had just had the baby. The only thing was though, the baby looked like a 4 month old in a pink frilly dress and she had blond hair and brown eyes. She acted even older though! She was laughing and playing with her toys and just having a grand old time... I was very confused...
Hmmm... What to do... Sunday nights always seem to be a time where you just hang and be lazy... Even though I do that a lot more often than Sunday nights, heh.
Well, I'm running out of things to say! So bye!

Yay For Utah!
Hello! This is my first post to my new blog. Amy wanted me to make one, so I decided to.
Ahhh... Utah. I haven't been here for a little while. I'm so excited for Amy's babyyyy! I can't contain it. So far today, nothing very exciting has happened. Since I'm doing home school I had to bring all my work to Utah, so today I had a normal school day. Humph.
Well, I'll update again next time something actually exciting happens.
