My Last Choir Concert :(

Last Friday was my last 5th grade choir concert! It was based on songs from the sixties and seventies, or a bit more modern. We had songs from the band Queen, the Beetles, The Beach boys, and such. I got a solo in the song Turn Turn Turn.

We had finished all the speaking parts right before "my solo song" and so I walked up to the microphone. Just as the music started, I realized a lot of the eyes in our choir were staring right beside me. I followed those eyes, and a watery spill was coming from a girl's mouth. Yes, she was puking!

She was probably just nervous, and (there always is a happy ending) the janitor cleaned it up in no time. The rest of the concert went as planned.

Talk about our best performance EVER!!!

I'm really sad because choir is over, but it turns out I'm also really excited because I am playing the viola in 6th grade! It is hanging up in my closet, brought home the day after my last concert.

Lots'a updates....

Okay, my first update is on the school choir. On Wednesday, the 10th of November, will be my first 5th grade choir concert! It's going to be a veteran's concert, and that's really exciting! We even have special t-shirts that cost $7.
Next update. I went with Olivia and Alayna to a stake primary meeting on Saturday, and we sang a new song called If I Listen With my Heart. It was really pretty, but I have to mention... we stopped in the middle of the third verse! Nobody seemed to mind though, since we picked up three seconds later.
Then, back on Friday, the whole family went to a toy fair, where people from walmart(I think!) would show the kids toys to get them started up for Christmas, from Thomas the Train to Barbies! They also gave out free toys, and coloring sheets, and things like that.

Anyways, now I guess you're pretty updated!

5th Grade Isn't Sooo Bad....

So, I've finally gone to 5th grade, and it really isn't that bad :) Well, other than that darn fact that I can't see my sisters at school, and that I now switch classes, and this new school is a maze of differences(the list is kind of endless!!!) I've made a bunch of new friends and my homeroom teacher is the literacy teacher. I have a really, really, really nice social studies teacher(who has gotten me to memorize the animaniacs capitols song in 3 weeks). Here's a picture of my school:

Pretty Castle-like huh?
Sometimes the principal even wears her crown through the halls at school(mind you I haven't seen it yet)! The school is pretty castle themed. The two towers in that picture are so pretty! Right in between them is a row of windows which is the reading loft's windows. There are also teams. 5th grade and 6th grade teams, of which are:
5th grade:
Cavaliers
Valiant
Excalibur
Dragons(I wanted to be on Excalibur, but ended up on this team. It's still pretty cool:)

& 6th grade:
Quest(the team I want to be on)
Champions
Heroes

So school is pretty cool! :) (:

Next Year? Not So Easy!

Hi everybody, What's going on? I haven't blogged in a while, but that's just me, can't find the time to do anything. I am super scared about going to 5th grade next year. I won't be with any family at all! At least most of my friends are going there, so we'll still be in the same school. The middle school I'm going to is called Old High Middle School, and I have seen it and been inside of it only once before. I can tell you this, that school is pretty big! But even though the school itself is pretty large, the caffeteria is nothing compared to Cooper's. When me and my dad went to check the school out, I saw some of the classrooms, and that got me pretty excited about going to be in 5th grade. There's one science classroom that uses excersize balls on chairs. That's when they have good days. There's even a fitness room, with equipment and everything! In about 3 months, I'll be blogging about my first day of 5th grade!

V-Day ROCKS!

Today is Valentine's day and I have so much to tell! First of all this morning, mom decided she didn't feel so good, and we were in from church. I slept 'till about 7:00 a.m. Then, Livvy came in. She told me to wake up, and I groaned. That repeated 3 more times, and she surrendered for about 5 minutes. Then she came in and said,"Ally, do you want to flip pancakes or not!?!" Of course, I want to. Flipping pancakes is, like, my favorite thing to ever do. So my immediate reaction was to suddenly flip my face out of the pillow and say,"DUH." We got downstairs, and finally made the pancakes. Luckily, at the last second my mom let everyone put 2 drops in, which makes like 8 drops of red food coloring. It turned out we had not just heart pancakes, but rainbow pancakes, snowman pancakes, bear pancakes, and my favorite,

Ducky Pancakes!

We ate all of our pancakes, and started playing around. I asked when mom was going to let us pass out valentines, and she said we could do it right now! I cut some hearts out, took some stick on lace, stuck it on there and wrote down a couple of poems on them in different colored markers. The following are the poems.

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

Sugar is SWEET and so are YOU!

Valentine's day is not just about food or sweet chocolate candies galore. It's not about parties you have at school, wishing that there could be more. It's not about cards or the fun decorating or even the mushy gushy goo. Valentine's Day is just one special way of saying that I love YOU!

What does Valentine's day mean to you? Does it mean parties and sweet candies too? Does it mean cupid or mushy gushy goo? To me it means that I LOVE YOU!!!!!

I got a little box of candies from mom, similar to this one below.

It wasn't just me, Olivia, Alayna, and Phoebe all got one too!

Have agreat Valentine's day, everybody!

Twisted Whiskers Creeps Me Out!

(This is just a random blog, so everyone knows)

So I was at my most likely last school Valentine's Day party when at the very top of my mailbox are 2 Twisted Whiskers cards. I just got this image off the internet, my cards had dogs and cats on them. They are all really creepy, no matter what. I don't care if their popular to some people, they are too weird for me!

What's Going On?!?

This is what's been going on in my life! Me and my sisters changed rooms. I am in Olivia's old room, while Alayna and Olivia sleep in my old room. Jack has moved from the closet to Alayna and Phoebe's old room, and Phoebe sleeps in the same room with a new bed. The rooms look really great!
Now yesterday we went to like a labor day\pancake breakfast\running race thing that the Bella Vista Ward put together. There was free swimming, free racing, free food, and free swimming! It was so much fun! I didn't race, but I did play at the park, eat pancakes, and swim!
The night before yesterday, my cousins Mackenzie and Emma came to our house! We went on a bike ride with everyone in the family except for Phoebe, Mom, and Jack. So far, their visit has been really fun, but sadly, they're leaving tomorrow. I wish they lived right next door to us. I would love that! But they live in Missouri, and I guess it could be worse.

No More Summer (Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!)

Well, summer's over and school has started. Alayna started kindergarten, Olivia is in 2nd grade, and I'm in 4th. School has been really pretty fun, at least, so far. I'm in class with two of my best friends (which is really exciting!) and there are six new kids in my class. I made friends with all of the new kids, and they are really, really nice. We've done lots of fun projects where we get to know each other better, and some science experiments, too! Alayna seems to like school (just like me) so that's cool for her.

100!!!

A few days ago, me and Livvy had our 100th day of school here are some pics of me in my costume.
Mom powdered my hair to make it white.

What do you think?

The 1st Boy!!!

Jackson has been born! He's so cute! He was born on December 4th, just last week. Mom's room was amazing! There was a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a mini-TV! My Aunt Sarah, Grandma Jenny, and Grandma Doe came to see him. He has brownish-blackish hair, blue eyes, and is always happy with his pacifier in his mouth. Before Jack was born, mom kept getting clothes and presents from other people(someone tell me, why don't I get so many presents all the time?).

What's happening?

I got a new haircut today. It looks too, too cute! This morning Livvy announced she was going to get her hair cut, and I decided that I would too. I'm excited about the thanksgiving party that's coming up this Saturday. I can't wait to see all the family that's coming! I've gotten into a bored mood lately so, any ideas (except for cleaning the house)? I've found a craft book that's kind-of fun, but the crafts are sort-of babyish(if you know what I mean).

Back To School!

Well, we're finally back to school! I'm finally in 3rd grade! Our mom bought us some new clothes over the Summer and I just love them! Now me and Livvy are riding the school bus full time, which makes a big difference in the morning! Well, now in school I've made lots of new friends and happily we made it through the first week. My teacher's name is Mrs. Laine and she's really nice.

Nauvoo

I can't wait for my trip in Nauvoo! I haven't been there in a long time. I'm going on August 7. I'm really exited because First I get to see mom's friend and next I get to stay at a hotel! We might even go swimming at the hotel!

What Do You Think?

So a few days ago we had a rainy day here in Arkansas and I didn't have anything to do. Suddenly I felt like drawing, so I got the stuff and drew what I thought of. What do you think of it? Somehow the idea just came to me. I saw my umbrella and knew just what I wanted to draw. It took a little longer than I thought, but it was worth it. Sorry, maybe later I can get the pictures on here.

Summer's Here!

Hey everybody! School's out for summer! I will be going to the lake of the Ozarks in about 3 weeks! I'm also planning on going to the library, going fishing, bike riding with my family,scrap-booking with my mom, and doing all sorts of other stuff! On the very last day of school at Cooper Elementary[and I wasn't there for the hole year] I got a certificate for getting strait A's as long as I was there! One of my friends got picked for the best behavior!

My New Doll

On May 10th I had gotten a new doll. My mom had lent me a dollar so I could buy it. Thanks mom! It's called a ty girl. You can go on the computer with it! It's really cool. I take it almost anywhere I go. Me and Olivia have one. Mine is named Supercool Serena and Olivia's is named Cute Candy.

Valentine's Day!

I have had such a Happy Valentine's day! I had an awsome school Valentine's party! We had so many cupcakes the hole class had to bring 2 cupcakes back home with them! My mom and dad got me a spiecal valetine, it was a little heart box and had 4 speical chocolates,I love it! Thank you mom!

Our New House

Sorry I have not been on here in awhile, I have been doing so much other stuff! We got a house in Bentinville! I am so happy! I will get my own room! My room will be on the top floor!
