So I just wanted to share some thing random. So my dad says that girl names are just boy names with "fluffy" things on the end. Let me give a few examples.
Hannah is 'derived' from the boy name Hans or Han.
Shauna comes from Shaun.
Roberta comes from Robert.
Jamie from James
Mackenzie from Mack
Samantha from Sam

Announcements, Announcements, Announcements!
1) In July I'm gonna be a big sister times 7!
Yep, we are having another sibling! July 10th is the due date. The family is pretty excited.
2) I cut my hair!
I did it. After years of progress, my golden locks, are GONE. I chopped my hair on our New Years Trip to Arizona. My Aunt cut it. It's now shoulder length. I am donating my hair to Locks of Love (LOL). It is strange. Still getting used to short hair.
Pictures coming ASAP

Thanksgiving 2010
I know this is really late, and I am SORRY! I'm really behind on posting. Amazing I know, but I've been busy.
Thanksgiving this year was really fun. We had our good friends, the VanDams over. A couple other families in our ward and stake also joined us for dinner and pie. The Van Dams have 4 girls that match to most of our ages and we get along really well. We had fun putting on a play, and doing a couple other fun things. One was as special song. This song originated about a week ago. I thought it would be really fun to put together some lyrics that talk about Thanksgiving and put them to a familiar tune. So over the week, Mackenzie and I work with it and came out with a very cool ending. We sang this for the parents as a surprise. It was very fun. I would like to share the lyrics with you.

Christmas Videos
Hi. I would like to share some fun Christmas songs, that I really like.
Christmas Must Be Something More by Taylor Swift
Christmas with a Capitol "C" by Go Fish
12 Days of Christmas by BYU Vocal Point
Believe by Josh Groban (from the Polar Express)
Some of these are traditional and fun medleys . Others illustrate what Christmas is all about. It's not about the ribbons and bows. I really like these alot. They are some of my favorites and I hope you enjoy them to.

Arrethtrae
I would like to share some good books with you.
The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black
This is a series that is set in a fictional kingdom of Arrethtrae. It is a very creative allegory of the Bible in a medieval/castles setting. It's quite easy to tell the connecting. There is the King. He loves his children and helps them. He has a son(the Prince) who comes to redeem his people so that they may live with him again. The 1st 2 books cover the old Testament. The Last 4 cover the New Testament and then up till the 2nd Coming of Christ. These books are wonderful. They really illustrate God's plan for us and that God does love us. These books are also very fun to read. They suck you in so you can not put them down. I highly recommend the Kingdom series. I don't believe they can be found at the Library. You should just right off buy them. They are great books to own.
1)Kingdom's Dawn
2)Kingdom's Hope
3)Kingdom's Edge
4)Kingdom's Call
5)Kingdom's Quest
6)Kingdom's Reign
The Knights of Arrethtrae
This is the sequel series. They are about individual knights (one is female :)) and they're mission in promoting the plan and knowledge of the Prince. I am reading the last one right know. This series is just as good as the first. It covers the time before the 2nd coming and how the knights are trying to spread the word, etc... I really think all youth would love them. they defiantly pull you in. I Highly recommend them. They would make great family time books. My mom has read them as well and really enjoys them.
1)Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione
2)Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court
3)Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart (cliff hanger ending to 4th )
4)Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue
5)Sir Quinlan and the Sword of Valor
6)Sir Rowan and the Camerian Conquest

Stake Conference
Today was my Stake Conference for my ward. It was really nice. I was privileged to be in the Combined Stake Choir. It was fun to do it with my friend Emily. Stake Conference was really special this year because we had Elder Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, visiting from Utah. They both gave really great talks. Afterwards, I got to shake his hand. It was a really neat opportunity to be in the presence of an Apostle.
The Weirdest Halloween Costume of 2010
So around here, some of the middle schools close to my house let the students wear costumes to school on Friday. On the way home from Co-op we were waiting at the stop light and I saw some guy in a costume.
What? Okay fine I'll tell you. So this was a middle schooler! The guy was dressed as a teletubby!
Do you know what a teletubby is? It's a kid TV show. I watched it when I was younger. Way younger. See HERE for more info. Oh and they don't even talk. Now I think it's weird, but back then I think I loved it.

Before You Meet Prince Charming
Before You Meet Prince Charming: A Guide to Radiant Purity by Sarah MallyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a wonderful book! Sarah Mally, is trying to address how instead of getting yourself immersed in boys and dreaming about your own "happily ever after" romance, you could be using your time as the Lord would want you to. It talks about how you should wait upon the Lord and he will bring your and your Prince Charming together when HE is ready. Not You. It is full of amazing suggestions, ideas, and scriptures, and lots more! to help illustrate her point, she has a princess theme going and at the beginning of each chapter you read part of a princess story. Altogether this is an amazing book for all Teenage girls 12 and up. I Loved this book.

Train Tracks : Coming December 2010
Yep Train Tracks. Unless you have had braces you won't understand. Oops I slipped! Yeah I'm getting braces. To tell the truth I have mixed feelings. I'm glad that I will get them over with, and not exactly jumping about the fact that I will have metal in my mouth for the next 1-2 years. So yeah. Braces. I got my x-rays today. I guess it's good that I'm getting braces now. So Yep. Braces.
