So, this update is an older one. Over Christmas break, I went down to visit my cousins in Utah, might as well be my home-away-from-home. I was only able to be there for a week, which my cousin, Matti, and I agreed wasn't long enough. So, when I go down there this summer, I'll be there for 3 weeks. =] Anyways, here are some pictures that I got. I wasn't able to get a whole lot of pictures because I left my camera battery charger at hoome (now I just can't find my camera) so we went through a huge event just trying to get a new charger.

When I was there, I got to meet my new twin cousins, Emmalyn and Brooklyn for the first time, and my cousin, Oliver, had just turned one. Anywhoo, here are the pictures. =]

Multi-culteral girl....






Little A's grandma went to Korea and got her a Korean Princess dress. While she was over at my house, I took her outside and took some pictures of her. Here's only a handful. I have LOTS of them!! Enjoy!! =]

Senior pics...

My mom and I went out and got some Senior Pictures taken. Here are a few...I ended up not like quite a few of them, but here is a little taste at what I got. =]



Pictures, pictures, and more pictures....














During the month of February, Aleecya turned 3. Wow....just wow. I can't believe she's already 3. Boy does time sure fly. For her actual birthday, she was with her dad. So, for the day after her birthday, we had a little "family" party. Her stepdad, mom, 2 brothers, and I met at her mom's house, unwrapped presents, and had cake and ice cream.

A couple weeks later, we had a small party. Here are some pictures from her birthday, party, and some 3 yr pics. =] The two at the bottom are from her actual birthday. The other's are from her party, and the first few are some of her 3 year pictures that I took. =]

So....update numero 1....

Ok, beware for an onslot of updates. =] I have a lot to go through. So, I'll start with college.
I found out, starting from Christmas break, that I got into 3 colleges, Southern Utah University, University of Utah, and Grand Canyon University. Which one am I going to?? I have no idea. I honestly cant decide. It's just such a hard desicion...but, here's a "YAHOO!!!!!" to me! =]

Wow....

I feel like an official blog looser. I FINALLY come visit my blog, come to realize that my last post was from November, and my background was still Christmas. Yes, it is now the middle of March. Hmmm...now what? I don't really have that much to update one. Oh heck, what am I talking about? I have tons to update on! Those updates will come eventually, maybe tonight. Maybe tomorrow after school. But, I promise I haven't completely dropped this blog yet!! =] I'll be back later! Now, off to change my background. =]

Halloween '09

This last Saturday was Halloween as you may know. I had Aleecya from Friday night to Saturday night. For over 24 hours. So, while I had her, we went Trick-or-treating and celebrated Halloween!!

We started the weekend out Friday night by carving pumpkins! Mine is a ghost coming out of a window. (see pic below). I don't recall the insides being that gross, but I guess my memorie fades me!

Then, Saturday morning Aleecya woke up, and immediatly wanted her Dorothy costume on. So, that was the only outfit she was in! We started out by making cookies! First, we made Mummie cookies. Simply made roll-out cookies, iced them, then drizzle white chocolate over them. Then, put red hots on for the eyes! Easy cheesy, and oh-so-yummy!! Then, we made oozy finger cookies. Just take the same dough from the Mummie cookies, and shaped them like fingers. Then just put a dot of red "icing", then stick an almond on top. So cute!

Then, after Aleecya woke up from her nap at around 4, we left to go trunk-or-treating for my church. From there, we went to our local mall where they had games, face paintings, balloon animals, and of course candy!! I tried convincing Aleecya to get her face painted like a cat, but she wouldn't have any of it. As you can kind of see in a pic below, she was very excited about getting a balloon doggy! We, (yes, I say we because we both got the candy), got quite a bit of candy. Aleecya "played" some of the games they had here, and at about 7, we headed back out to our car. And yes, that is 3 hours of trick-or-treating. Quite a big haul for a 2 1/2 year old!! But, she stuck it out, and loved every single minute of it!!
As always, here are some pictures!! Sorry some of them are blurry, my camera battery was dead, so they were taken with my phone!
