Over Thanksgiving Vacation

On Wednesday we didn't really do anything that exciting. On Thursday we hung out with family for Thanksgiving, and for our brother's birthday. We celebrated Thanksgiving and my brother's birthday at one of our Aunt Becca's and Uncle Craig's house. We also got to see our Grandma Sue and Grandpa, but to be honest with you we call our Grandpa Pop, I have no idea why we started calling him that, but now he doesn't want us to call him anything else. We also got to see our cousins Ashleigh and Devin. Ashleigh's 16 and is only one year and about three months older than me. I'm older than Devin, even though were in the same grade, because I'm going to turn fifteen in eight days. And his birthday's is the third of May. So I'm one hundred and forty seven days older than him. Or also known as three months and twenty seven days. I had lots of fun because I got to play with Devin and Ashleigh. We were playing hide and seek only because the younger kids talked us into it, and then I was still hiding and Devin freak in never came to find me. He said that is was because everyone said they had quit playing. Even though Milaya one of my sisters said that she was still playing, and then she freak in goes and says she's not. I ate tons of mashed potatoes and some turkey. Of course with brown gravy. I also ate two rolls with butter on them. Later on I had a piece of pumpkin pie, and a piece of my aunt's or uncles homemade Oreo pie. Both of them were delicious. I still like pumpkin pie better though. The Oreo pie was so chocolaty that I couldn't even eat it with out whipped cream, also known as cool whip. I prefer cool whip though. I drank root beer. Ashleigh and one of my other sisters Kadee drank water. Another one of my sisters Kinnan drank Pepsi, and so did Brett. Later on Milaya played a game of chess with Devin, and Devin won. Then I played against Devin, and I won! I'm so glad that I won. After that I played Kadee at a game of chess, and we didn't get to finish because we had to leave to go to our other Grandma and Grandpa's, who we call Grandma and Pagra.

Grandma and Pagra seemed excited to see us, but I'm not sure whether they were really proud to see Milaya, Brett, and I. They seemed super happy to see Kadee and Kinnan though. The most important thing though is that on Thursday even if Grandma and Pagra completely ignore Milayas, Bretts, and my birthday, and give us less presents on christmas, we still had a good day that day.

Today we went to the Aquatic Center. Mom and dad left Kadee, Milaya, Brett, Kinnan, and I all alone. We all had a really fun time. We had to check up on each other every once in a while though. Mom bought us twelve snacks, and we each got two. She also bought us a powerade.

Jobs I want and why I want them/ Miscellaneous

JOBS I WANT AND WHY I WANT THEM
I want to become an Optometrist (eye doctor), a Violinist in the Symphony, something to do with Math and Science, an Artist, an Author, and an Illustrator.

I want to become an Optometrist (eye doctor), because I think that it would be awesome to be able to prescribe people with new glasses or contacts, and do the appointment's, to tell them how their vision is. I want to become a Violinist in the Symphony because I think that would be a really good paying job, also I would want a job where I could play the violin at the same time. I want to become an Artist because I love to draw, and that would also be a job that I could get good money for.
I want to become an Author because I love reading, and I have some idea's to add to some series, but I have to have permission from the authors first. I want to become an Illustrator because I love drawing, and then people could know my work maybe better than they could if I was an artist. Maybe more people would know of my artwork.

I think that it will be good to have degree's for more than one job, because then I have backup in case I get fired, or have to quit, or something just happens where I just can't work at one particular job. I don't think I'll have much trouble getting scholarships, because my Grade Point Average (GPA) is a 3.716, and that's pretty high, even if it's not a 4.0 or also known as straight A's. My goal is to get 3.7's or higher in Junior High, High School, and College. I really want to get scholarships because then I'll be able to afford college easier, because college is so expensive.

This Saturday my brother had a wrestling match at Weber, and guess what all that hard work with my step dad paid off! In the past he got fourth place, third place, and second place, but this time he got FIRST PLACE! I was so proud of him, when they got back home he even came downstairs to our room, and asked whether we knew that he got first place. I was super glad of him.

We celebrated my brother's birthday this weekend. Because it would be hard to have his birthday party on Thanksgiving. Also it would be kind of chaotic. We are going to celebrate his birthday on thanksgiving with the family. Because it's bound to probably be less chaotic with family, than with friends. Plus much less of a mess. I'm also really excited for thanksgiving because we get all the leftovers from the dinner, because we have seven in our family. Plus right now were kind of low on money, so we don't have lot's of food at home, and I mean it. Now my mom won't even buy cereal until we get done with all of the oatmeal, and it's the kind I hate, yuck!

This Weekend # 2/ Miscellaneous

This weekend we went to my brothers wrestling match. It was at Layton High School. My dad woke me up around eight in the morning, and told me and one of my sisters to start getting ready. I was eating breakfast when mom had a different one of my sisters turn off the television because she thought I was taking forever to eat my cereal. One of my sisters said that she wasn't going and neither was another one of my sisters because they were going to get picked up at the house by their mom. They had to come to the wrestling tournament anyways though.

When we got their my brother got weighed, and then we went and got seats because we knew that we were going to be waiting a while until he got called. And we were right. They called kindergarten through second grades first, fifth through ninth grade second, and third and fourth grades last. It took a long time to get over. Most of the time I just wondered around the school. We sat up high because we had seven people so we kind of needed enough room, plus there was tons of room up there, and no one was squished.

I got to meet two of my sisters friends. My mom, her mom, and her biological dad/ my step dad knew the girl that I just met today. She was pretty nice, she had two boys of her own, one of them was only a baby, and the other was there because he wrestled. The other friend was a boy that one of my sisters kept talking about, but I couldn't remember him at all, and I seriously mean at all.

The past times that my brother had wrestled he got fourth place, then third place, and I was pretty confident he would get first place, but he didn't, he ended up getting second instead. Which is still really good. My other two sisters were picked up before my brother got done though. So my mom called mom and told them how he did. My brother only lost first place by one point, and that's really good, also my step dad is teaching him, and he won the state championships when he was in wrestling at Layton High School.

I'm going to write about other stuff now because I still need more to have all my five hundred words. I like the whole A and B day schedule right now because it we get more time to get our homework done, and we get to have an extra day also. Plus if we have that class on Thursday or Friday we have a lot of time to get all of that homework done. My favorite day out of the A and B days is B because I have first lunch. When you have second lunch you feel like your waiting forever, and it gets really frustrating having to wait all the way till one in the afternoon just to be able to eat. It's so stupid.

Goldilocks And The Three Polar Bears

This is a story that I was required to write in science, but now I'm typing it on the computer for my blog, because I couldn't think of anything.

Once upon a time there lived threepolar bears. Papa bear, mama bear, and baby bear. They decided to go on a walk to let their salmon oool down. Only they forgot to shut the door, and left it wide open.

Goldilocks decided to go out fishing for salmon so she could eat something. She lived in a big U-shaped valley, which is where a glacier eroded a V-shaped valley that was made from running water.

She decided to go the long way to get some exercise, to get some fresh air, and to be alone. While she was walking she came across a moraine, which is formed from a glacier that melts, and drops into a deep hole left from the last ice age.

She was starting to get thirsty, and to her surprise she saw a kettle lake. Which is formed when a glacier melts, falls, and crumbles, forming a deep hole, and if it's filled with water it forms a kettle lake.

After the drink of water she felt very refreshed, and decided she would explore, and fish in the kettle lake on her back home. She kept on walking, and found an outwash plain. Which is sediments that were melted from a glacier, and formed deltalike area's called outwash plain's.

She kept journeying, and found a (serk)cirque, which is where a glacier began, but there's a large bowl shaped hole. And she decided she would go around it, explore some more, rest, fish, and then go back home.

As she walked she saw a horn, which is a top of a mountain with several (serks) cirque's, formed close together. So she decided she would climb it, rest, fish, go back home, and tell her parents everything she found.

When she finally reached the top of the horn she forgot her plan, and decided to see if anyone was in the cottage, that she could see, form where she is.

She started going down toward the cottage, and to her surprise she found the door wide open. She knew it was bad manners to just barge into someone else's house so she called out "hello, is anyone there." No one called back o she just walked in.

She didn't want to be rude so she shut the door behind her, and decided that she would just take a rest. And she would tell the people who lived here her story, and why she was in their cottage. Then her stomach growled, reminding her that she was hungry, that she needed to catch some salmon, go back home, cook the salmon, and eat dinner. Ther she saw 3 bowls of salmon just ready to be eaten.

She took a bite of the first bowl of salmon, and yelled "Ow! That's way to hot!" Then she took a bite out of the second bowl, and shrieked "brr...,that's way to cold!" Then she took a bite out of the third bowl of salmon, and exclaimed "mmm..., that's just perfect." And she ate it all up. She was pretty cold, and then she noticed that a fire was still burning in the fireplace. So she sat in the first chair, and yelled "Ouch!" That's way to hard!" Then she sat in the second chair, and cried "tat's way to soft!" Then she sat in the third chair, and exclaimed "Oh..., just perfect!" Then she heard a cracking noise, and she fell on the floor with the chair in pieces.

She was starting to feel tired, and decided to go upstairs. When she got there she saw three beds. She tried the first one, and yelled "Ow! That's way to hard!" Then she tried the second bed, and cried "that's way to soft!" Then she tried the third bed, and exclaimed "aw..., that's perfect!" Then she fell sound asleep.

Papa bear, mama bear, and baby bear walked into thwe cottage. Then they decided to sit down, and eat their salmon. Papa bear yelled "someone's been eating my salmon." "Mine too," exclaimed mama bear. "And someone ate all of mine," cried baby bear.

Then they went into the sitting room, and found out someone had been sitting in their chairs. And to their horror, whoever had been sitting in them had broked baby bear's chair. And baby bear started crying all over again.

Then they went upstairs to take a nap. And they found out that the beds had been slept in. And baby bear started crying for a third time, because the person was still in his bed. Goldilock's woke with a start, and she wa so scared she ran all the way home.

THE END
