Oops!

Yikes! So... do you remember the post about me growing my hair out? Well, I don't think it's working out too well. I cut my hair on Sunday! My long hair was getting too unmanageable. Sorry America! When I cut my hair I usually donate it to the Locks of Love organization which helps make wigs for people with cancer, but my hair wasn't long enough this time. Anyway... here is a link to the Locks of Love website.

Operation Beautiful


I found out about Operation Beautiful on tv after school today and I think it's a great idea. This video explains why they started it and what you do. It's not a thing you have to sign up to do or pay any money, you just leave kind notes in public places for people to see. Wouldn't you be happy if you saw a kind note on the Target mirror when you walked out of the bathroom? It sounds silly, but try it! Here is a link to the Operation Beautiful site.

FOOD!!!

Listen up!!! You are about to see the BEST pictures in the world...


Food. We all eat it and we should, in my opinion, enjoy it. At my Aunt Pam's house, that's not a problem. As you can see, some of my cousins are feasting on pasta and bread sticks. These pictures were taken a while ago, but let me be the first to tell you, they still act that way when eating her food. No one can lie, it's just plain delicious!!! I love BBQ's there because they've got it all down! They perfect dips and chips, kool aid... the list could go on and on! I hope my cousins don't mind these pictures... ; )

Spring Break

Last Spring Break my mom and I went to California to visit some family. We had a blast, and I thought it would be fun to share it with you.

In front of the L.A. Temple
This is me sitting in front of the L.A. Temple. We decided to visit it last minute while we were driving around, so I was just wearing sweat pants! It was really cool visiting it, though. I'm glad we went.


Aaron and I on the beach
We also got up at five in the morning to watch my cousin, Aaron, go surfing on the beach where he lives. It was a ton of fun. My mom and I started to feed the birds and they kept coming at us! I felt like the bird lady in "Mary Poppins"!

We also went to...
Mom and I waking through Disneyland

DISNEYLAND!!!!! I got to go to the happiest place on earth with my mom and my Aunt Robin. I hadn't been there for years and it was amazing going back! We went on rides and went inside Mickey Mouses' house! I'd go back in a heartbeat! Before we left we ran into our neighbors in front of the "It's a Small World" ride.

Then we went through a blast of the past as we visited one of the houses my mom grew up in. We met the lady who now lives there  and she was really nice, especially about the part where we are taking pictures of her house as she suddenly parks in the drive way!

THEN... my mom and I went to visit Aunt Robin at work. Now, you might think of this as boring and typical, but, believe me, it was amazing!!! My aunt works on the TV show "The Middle", so we got to go on set and meet most of the people on the show including...
Patti and I
