New phone

2009-11-12T15:06:00.000-08:00

So Monday I got a phone, you know, a Motorola TracFone, and I am LOVING it! I swear, something about phones is so addicting. It was $29.99 plus tax, so it was pretty cheap, good quality, with a GREAT deal! About $20.00 a month, well it's a go-phone so you can pay whenever you want. For my phone, it's the only phone that if you pay $20.00 for 60 minutes, it doubles so you pay $20.00 for 120 minutes! anyway, I am now out of minutes, it only came with 10 min.

I highly recommend this phone.

So, I need $20.00 so if you didn't read it, check out my last post!

Thanks by!!!

Shadow. He passed away a few months ago from stupid cancer. :(

But you might be surprised to know we have a new cat (kind of). You know how we've always had cats outside our house (check my mom's blog), well, when I got home from a camp out for church, there was a new kitty by our door, by the water bowl we leave out. It was empty, so I raced and got some water. When I came back, he was crawling all over my dad. Later we brought some food out and he ate it so fast, we could hardly believe that within about two minutes, the used-to-be full bowl was EMPTY!!!

The next morning (sunday) we finally let him into the house, and guess what, he hissed at tiger.

Well, it's been about two days now, and they seem to be alright. The cat comes into our house whenever he wants. He usually eats, drinks, and has my mom pet him, then leaves. There you have it. He is an outside cat.

oh ya, he LOVES my dad, so we let him name the cat. He named him bob as in bobcat. that name was going to be Shadow's name, but I got to pick his name, not my dad.

Well, pictures of bob the cat will be coming as soon as possible. He is really light gray with bright yellow eyes, a small little body with a wild imagination! Yesterday, we saw him wrestling a pine cone, it was ADORABLE!!! anyway, pictures will be up soon!!!

HELP NEEDED!!!!!

2009-03-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I have a band by the name of Lullaby, and I NEED a guitarist!!! Really, I'm putting my faith in your hands, so PLEASE don't let me down. I mean, I already have a song written and I need people. If you know anyone cool who can play guitar, or is interested in playing, I can teach them the basics.

Thanks!!!!!

Oh, and it would be nice to have a bass player too.

Valentines Day!!!

2009-02-15T14:12:00.000-08:00

Ok, I am so so so so SO sorry I haven't blogged in like, FOREVER. I promise that I will blog about the three months I haven't blogged about, like CHRISTMASS!!!, but I'm afraid I'll lose you guys if I don't blog soon ( what the heck, I probably have already lost you ). Anyway, I woke Up yesterday, and my room was HEART-ATTACKED. For those of you that don't know, HEART - ATTACKED is when your room is full of cut- out paper hearts and like, 15 red heart balloons. After that, I waited in the hallway for my mom and dad to get ready, then I followed the trail of paper hearts leading to the couch. And upon the couch was the loot!!! I got a bunch of Dove chocolate hearts, a bear dressed as a bee ( I named him Bee-Bee ), a big heart box with mouth-watering delectable hearts filled with a creamy chocolate center, an AWESOME Slash poster ( an awesome guitar player ) and an awesome green goblin toy ( from the T.V. show ). Those were from my mom. From my dad, I got a ticket to the Viva La Vida Coldplay concert in July playing in San-Diego I believe!!! All in all, a GREAT VALENTINES DAY!!! THANK YOU PARENTS!!!

JoHo's take on Disneyland

2008-11-23T11:03:00.000-08:00

Okay, this is MY take on our little trip to Disneyland, so go to the bathroom, take a break, get a snack, cause' you're gonna be here a while.

Anyway, we left Tuesday November 11 with Alex to go to California. I even slept a little! We always gotta' stop at the Dino's because Dino's are cool. We finally got to Embassy Suites, got some dinner, went to Target, and went to sleep so we could have a blast the next day at Disneyland!!!

The next day, we started at Space Mountain. (always) After that, we went to Buzz and the rockets, since they're right next door.

After that, we went over to Adventure Land to do the Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones.

Is it just me, or does my dad look a little, um, DIFFERENT today?

Here we are waiting in line for Indiana Jones.

This is Alex and I in front of the Nightmare Before Christmas store. Don't I look SO sexy??

The Haunted Mansion decorated like "The Nightmare Before Christmas". My favorite.

There are 000 days to XMAS??? How come nobody told me?

Xander and I both tried, but neither of us could get the sword out of the stone. Doesn't it look like I tried harder though?

Coming to Disneyland and California Adventure at Christmas time is AWESOME!

Check out my ride. Xander and I could pick up some girls with this sweet car.

Before riding the raft ride:

During the raft ride:After the raft ride:

We didn't get nearly wet enough.

Xander and I on the swings. Yeah, we were flying. It was AWESOME.

Day 1 riding Screamin':

Day 2 riding Screamin':

Day 3 riding Screamin':

It was pretty much awesome EVERY TIME. And we rode that ride A LOT!

On the last day there, I FINALLY decided to try Mailboomer.

What was I waiting for? It is the best ride ever. We went on it like 5 or 6 times in a row.

Space mountain is super fun, and the line was never very long. It looks really cool at night.

Here is the awesome view from our hotel room. You could see Space Mountain and the Matterhorn. How cool is that? Also, the first night we were there, we caught part of the fireworks show. Embassy Suites ROCKS!
This is a blurry picture my mom took of a table of HOT girls. We were on the 7th floor when we took this, that's why they are so far away, but believe me, these girls were HOT. We spotted them just as we were leaving breakfast.
We pretty much spent the rest of the morning spying on them. Hey, like I said - HOT girls here. We HAD to spy on them. This is me and Xander telling my mom to go away because she was giving away our location. We were spying from behind this plant, and she was totally giving us away. Sometimes mom's don't know what's up. Two of the HOT girls came up to our floor and were standing right by us. It rocked!

On our last day in California we went to San Diego and hung out at the beach. Xander didn't spend too much time in the ocean. He got cold.
My dad and I rented boogie boards and rode the waves for a while. Check out my surfer dude hair. I totally fit in at the beach.

Xander made this snail sand sculpture.
This is a picture of the sand castles that a little boy and his dad made. As soon as they left, Alex and I went over and destroyed them.
Oooh, look! A bird!

Hanging out on our patio that overlooks the ocean. Yeah, you heard me right. We could see the ocean from our room. Don't be too jealous.
Me and mom right before we went home. See, I told you we could see the ocean from our patio. I didn't want to leave. I was sad.
We made it back safe and sound.
Check out my cool tattoo that I got while I was in California. My dad said it was ok. Yeah, I look good. Ok, so it's not real, but it looks totally awesome anyway.
That's it for this trip. I hope you enjoyed! Peace out.

Oh yeah, you MUST leave comments.

The Kingdom Keepers Series.

2008-10-05T16:58:00.000-07:00

I've started this new series called, The Kingdom Keepers. Here's a little preview of the book. 5 carefully selected Orlando teens ( Finn, Maybeck, Charlene, Philby, and Willa ) are chosen to become DHI's at Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom. DHI's are holagrams, and these holagrams of the 5 kids will guide guests around the park, reciting memorized words from scripts. Finn and the others are given lifetime passes to Disney World for having themselves projected as DHI's. However, the 5 are unaware of a little, "technical glitch" in the technology. When they fall asleep, they end up in the park as their DHI's. What's worse, they're not alone.

Buy the book, it's really worth it :) The first book is called, "The Kingdom Keepers-Disney After Dark"

Also, there's a book 2. It,s called, "The Kingdom Keepers 2-Disney At Dawn. I'm not on that yet, but still, check it out.

I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-21T15:41:00.000-07:00

Guess what? I'm going to Disneyland!!! Yah, you heard it, for 5 days :) We get to go to the beach, Disneyland, and California Adventure. We are also going to stay at the South Anaheim Embassy suites ( the one with the lion )!!! I might even get to bring a friend.

We're going to have so much fun. Here are some pics to make you jealous. See ya'

SORRY!!!

2008-08-10T09:54:00.000-07:00

Um, sorry, do to technical difficulties, the Criss Angel video did not come up. I'll try again later.

CRISS ANGEL!!!

2008-08-10T09:16:00.000-07:00

Ok, this past week, I've been obsessing about Criss Angel.

I don't know how it started, or why it started, but I just think he's awsome!!! I've tried lots of different magic tricks, but my best tricks are my object levitation, my disappearing card/toothpick trick, and my lipstick trick :) I'm going to get a book/video that tells me how to levitate myself up to 2 feet in the air!!! I can't wait!!!

Anyway, I've been watching Criss Angel's show on the internet. I've even taped 3 on my t.v.

His shows are called: Criss Angel - Mindfreak and, oh my gosh, he is AMAZING!!! I believe they're on Wednesdays and Fridays, in case you're interested.

This September, in Las Vegas, Criss is performing a show called: Criss Angel - Believe. I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to go :)

This is me doing my object levitation trick. I am levitating a crumpled piece of paper :) Here are some random pictures of Criss Angel. Also, here is a video of Criss levitating from building to building!!! Watch it!!!

Embassy Suites

2008-07-25T20:38:00.000-07:00

I think my favorite place on earth is The Embassy Suites in South Anaheim California: the one with the mechanical Lion. It roars every 30 min. I don't know what it is, I just LOVE IT!!! I don't know if it's the delicious breakfast, or the scenery, or even Happy Hour:) Plus, it's 1 mile from... wait for it... you guessed it... DISNEYLAND:) I love it sooooooooooo much!!! Well, see ya my peeps. Peace out:)

The Dark Knight!!!

2008-07-22T09:26:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I liked Batman Begins. Then, Adam and Dallin showed me Batman: The Gotham Knight. It's a movie about Batman's
transformation from Batman to the Dark Knight. It's the first ever PG:13 animated Batman movie. IT ROCKED... to me.
Anyway, I'm hoping The Dark Knight is as good ( or even better :) than the other two. I SOOOOOOOO want to see it!!!

Here's a trailer of The Dark Knight :)
CAUTION: some images may be scary for children...

The Cure

2008-07-15T20:10:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I know I haven't posted in a while, and you're probably all mad at me, but I had to post sooner or later, so I decided to post this. My favorite band right now is The Cure. THEY ROCK :) I don't know what happened, but I was checkin' out my mom's blog and The Cure was on, and I was like magnatized to them( don't know if I spelled that right). These past few days, I've been looking up their music videos. My favorite song of theirs right now is Love Cats!!! I'll be putting Cure songs as soon as possible... hopefully.

Here's their music video of Love Cats and Lullaby.
ENJOY :)
CAUTION: some images may scare children.

In Loving Memory Of Joseph Barbosa...

2008-06-01T19:41:00.000-07:00

Mon- Who the heck is Joseph Barbosa??? Monday was Memorial day. We had a BBQ at my Grandma's. We also went swimming. After that we had rootbeer floats. I had a blast.

Tues. - Tuesday, we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks at school. I love that movie. Jared gave us tickets to the Diamondbacks baseball game tonight. Me and Dad and Dallin went. I saw my boy scout leader there. I got to eat pizza at the game.

Wed. - Wednesday was the last day of school. We watched Narnia. This is a picture of me after school on my last day. Wednesday, my dad and I also had guitar lessons. I learned Green Day, "When I Come Around." Also on Wednesday was Adam's graduation. He had a party that night at Grandma's house.

This is Adam's friend Kaitlynn trying to give me a hug. She is crazy and fun.

This is Michael and I after Kaitlynn gave us both hugs.

This is me drinking the best punch ever....My mom's.

Thurs. - Thursday was my end of the school year party. I got to invite some friends from school. Dallin, Alex and Michael came to. We went swimming, ate pizza, played video games and watched a movie outside in the front yard. It was from 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. I have the best mom ever!

This is me livin' life. I love to swim.

My friends shootin' people.

My friend is emo!

This is us in war!!!!!!

This is the hideout where my team kept our ammo!

This is us re-fueling.

Fri. - Friday Ben and Max came over to play. It was fun.

This is a picture of Ben and Max playing in my room.

This is a picture of me when I saw that they trashed it. Sorry Sheri, but it's true. It was still fun though.

Sat. - Saturday Dallin and I cleaned Grandma's basement and toy room. They were dirty. Your welcome Grams! I mowed her front and back lawn. It was stinkin' hot. Later Dallin helped me fix my bike and we rode to the park. While we were there, we followed this girl everywhere. I saw her face and she was freaked out.

Sun. - Sunday was fast Sunday. I don't know what it was today, but it was harder than usual to fast. I lasted 19 hrs and 30 min. Dinner was awesome!

I can't wait!!! My family gets to go to California with Sheri's family and Grandma, SOON! My family even gets to go to Disneyland. We are staying at Embassy Suites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAH!!!!!!!!

My week in review

2008-05-25T20:08:00.000-07:00

Mon- Monday was my cousin Alex's baseball game. At the game, I got a lime shaved ice. It was Delicious!

Tues- Tuesday was just like any other day. I went to school, did homework, and went to grandma's. Whoopdedoo.

Wed- Wednesday, Joshua and my mom came to pick me up from school. He was funny in the back seat. After that, we played trains at grandma's. That night I had scouts. We played a frisbee game and my team won!

Thurs - Thursday, It rained A LOT! I was so happy. My mom and I went for a walk in the rain. We went almost all the way to Kohl's and back.

Fri - Friday, we played outside a lot. I even got to ride Dallin's bike. I also got to play with Josh. He is so cute. That night, Dallin spent the night at my house. We got Sobe's, played PS3, and went on the computer. Dallin updated his blog. You should check it out.

Sat - Saturday, Mom took Mikey, Nate, Jacob, Dallin and I to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. IT ROCKED!!! Afterwards, Dallin and I went to play at Grandma's. Alex, Michael, and I went swimming. It was cold.

This is a picture of my friends and I by Wall-e.

Sun - Sunday, we are all sick. It is suckish. It was also really boring. I'll be blogging again next Sunday, peace out!

Catching Up...

2008-05-18T17:39:00.000-07:00

Ok, I know I haven't blogged in a while, so here you go.

Mon.- This monday, we put on a play at school. It was about comedy called Lighten Up. Each class did their own song or skit. We also did songs together. This is some of my class doing our song. My Grandma and Grandpa came to see it. So did my parets. I had fun.

Tues.- Tuesday it was cloudy, nice, and gorgeous. I loved it! I also finished Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 4. It is called The Battle Of The Labyrinth. It was my favorite book out of the series! I can't wait til' book 5 comes out.

Wed.- Wednesday, my dad and I started our first guitar lesson. We are Sharing lessons with Tricia, my aunt. We get every other Wednesday. I have the best Guitar teacher in the world. His name is Matt Vandal. H e ROCKS! My mom makes me practice 20 min a day, but I don't mind. I can already play 5 songs: Spy Hunter, Smoke on the Water, Beethoven's 4th, Jaws, and Darth Vader's Theme song. I am SO proud of myself! I can't wait what I'll learn nextThurs.- Thursday it rained for 5 whole min! YAY! It was beautiful. We haven't had rain for so long and we needed it BADLY!!! I wished it would've rained longer, but I'll take what I can get. I am sooooooooo happy!

Fri.- Friday I went to Hamilton pool for Hamilton Prep's family night. My cousin Dallin goes there. Dallin went off with his friends and Michael ( Dallin's 10 year old brother) had no one to play with, so his mom invited me to come. We had a BLAST! after that, I got to go over to his house for a little bit, until my mom and dad came to get me, but I still had fun.

Sat.- Saturday I mowed grandma's lawn for money to buy a toy I wanted. It was really hard, especially the back yard with all the obstacles and watching my cousins swim in ice-cold water while I was sweating like a pig. I got to swim after I was done mowing the lawn. After swimming, I washed my mom's car for MORE money. It was hard work, but it payed off whileI was wearing my Iron Man Mask( the toy I wanted)

That night, my dad and I took Michael and Paul to the ASU baseball game. While we were waiting for it to start, Michael and I went by the dugout and got 7 peoples signatures! IT WAS AWSOME! After the game, we went to Lucilles for dinner. I got the baby back ribs with fries and cooked veggies. I was delicious!

Hope you enjoyed it! I'll be posting every sunday about what I did over the week.

My trip to Cali... again

2008-03-18T07:41:00.000-07:00

For myB-Day this year, my mom took Adam and I to California. Grandma let us stay in her condo. So Saturday, March 1st, we headed off to Cali. We got to the condo( which was right on the beach) around 7:30 Cali. time.

The next morning( Sunday) Grandma and I left to see how to get to the beach. We couldn't get in the water because it was Sunday. We went to church.

After church, we grabbed our books and chairs and read on the beach.

After a few hours on the beach, we went back to the condo. When we got back, grandma wanted to show us the coolest tree ever. For pictures of the tree, look below. You don't get the full effect, but it's still pretty cool. We decided that it was my cousin Max's tree because his name was carved into it.

After we saw the tree, my mom grabbed a chair and book and watched the sunset...on the padio! While mom was doing that, Adam and I went to the game room and played pool. When we got back to our room, grandma had burnt our pizza. We had burnt pizza for dinner, but since we were so hungry, it didn't taste too bad. We had a family home evening lesson and strawberry shortcakes for dessert. We went to bed early so we could get up early to go to Disneyland(which was an hour a way).

This is Max's tree.

We started our day at California Adventure. We went straight to Tower Of Terror. I wasn't really feeling well(probably because I got up at 6 every morning) so I sat out with grandma.

The next ride we went on was monsters' inc. Can you tell wich one of these monsters is Adam? After Monsters' inc. we went on Soarin' Over California and the Grizzly Raft Ride. I swear, every time my mom goes on the Grizzly Raft Ride, she gets soaked from head to foot. After that, we( Adam and I) went on Screamin', because I was feeling better. Then, we headed off to get lunch in Disneyland.

This is the creepy backpack we had to stare at in the Buzz Lightyear line.

Anyway, after lunch, we went on Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear and Star Tours. We unfortunately didn't go on the Rockets. We headed over to Adventureland to go on Indiana Jones and Pirates. Jungle Cruise was broken down. After that, we hit The Haunted Mansion twice because there was no line.

They updated the ride so it was cooler, but still no where near as cool as when it is Jack the Pumpkin King Style.

After that, we went over to Splash Mountain, but didn't go on it because the line was to long. Instead, mom made us go on Whinnie the Poo becuase she loves it.

Next, we were off to get Pineapple ice-cream and ride thunder Mountain. We went our separate ways, grandma to the bathroom, Adam to the magic shop, and mom and I went back to Thunder Mountain. Mom and I also went to the Indiana Jones Shop where I got a cool-looking cowboy hat.

We decided to skip the parade and left to go eat at Red Lobster. I had crab legs, of course.

The next day, we went to the beach again. It was freeeezing, but we still gave mom some time to sit on the beach. Mom was nice and let us go to the swimming pool instead.

It was heated! While we were there, 2 old ladies decided to do their exercises. One of them was about to back stroke into me, but the other lady calmly said: "Watch out for that young lady." I looked around to see who the young lady was and I realized she was talking about me. That's it, swimming is over! Time for a haircut.

We saw lots of wildlife there, had many adventures, such as the 30 minute trip to find a McDonalds, and lots of fun! We came home on Tuesday. That's it for my trip.

I have been taged to write 3 embarrasing things about me. I hope you... ENJOY, HAHAHA.

1. When I was two years old, I had an accident. We were at the mall with Sheri and Tiffany. They had just gone to get lunch and left my mom in charge of Alex, Tayler and me. About two minutes later, I told my mom that I had to pee. She kept telling me that I had to wait until Sheri and Tiffany got back, and that she couldn't leave the other kids at the table. So... I left my mark. You know? When your a two year old, just potty trained, you might have an insident or two. You don't have much self control.

2. One time at Disneyland, I was enjoying a nice ice-cream. Or was it a cookie? Anyway, when I was done with it, I threw it awaytheend.....I'm just kidden'. I had a few crumbs left over. So, like being a kid, you wipe your face on your mom's shirt. I did that exact thing. " Mom"I started. But when I looked up, It was Tricia. Everyone was laughing. " I meant to do that" I whispered quietly.

3. And for the grand finale...again... I got caught cheating on someone's paper in front of the whole class in 2nd grade. I am hanging my head in shame as I type this message, ( Literally, I am).

I tag...Trina...Grandma...Alex...Tricia and Dr. Jared lambson

Tag, I'm it

1. First things first. In my ten years of being alive, I've been to a bar. My dad left me in one to go to the bathroom. It was NOT fun. Everyone stared at me. And to top that, I was about six or seven.

2. I am obsessed with my hair. My mom is always wanting me to cut it. I don't know what it is. My hair is just so COOL.

3.I am very creative. I do anything that involves my imagination: Draw, write, read, etc. Sometimes, my mom sais that she can see my wheels turning in my head.

4. I have met Jeffry R. Holland. As I was only a baby at the time, I do not remember it, but it still counts. It was pretty cool.

5. I once uttered the words " I wish I was a woman". It was five years ago. My mom was going to women's conference, and I wanted to go with her.

6. For the grand finale( da da da da), I got sent to the Principal's office on my first day in 1st grade for punching someone in the stomach. He was askin' for it. Later on, he became one of my best friends.

I tag Dallin, Ben, and Sheri

I'm sick

2007-12-04T08:29:00.000-08:00

I got sick Sunday night. I threw up alot. I think I got it from James. He was sick last week too. The good thing about being sick is that I got to miss school yesterday and today and I got to watch a lot of tv. The bad thing about being sick is that I don't get to see friends. I'm feeling a little better today. I'm going back to school tomorrow.

My trip to California

2007-11-23T09:34:00.000-08:00

Last Wednesday, I went to Disneyland and California Adventure with my family. My cousin Darrion came with us.

My favorite ride at Disneyland was Space mountain or Matterhorn.

There was snow after the Christmas fireworks. It was freezing. Mom and Dad bought me and Darrion Jack the pumpkin king sweatshirts.

I finally tried Tower of Terror and California Screamin. It was Darrion's first time for Tower of Terror too. As soon as we got off the ride we ran and got right back on again. We loved it. I also loved California Screamin'. I went on it 4 times. I called Stacy after the ride to tell her I went on it. It is now my favorite ride ever. The picture of California Screamin going upside down, my mom took while I was on the ride. I am on that roller coaster.

We had a fun time at Disneyland. I can't wait to go again.

Saturday we went to the beach. It was cold, but Darrion and I stayed in the water a long time.

I also got to go to Red Lobster for dinner. I ate lots of crab legs.

That night, at the hotel, Darrion and I watched Harry Potter 5.

We had to go home on Sunday. I want to go back for my birthday.

I'm going to Disneyland

2007-11-14T06:31:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I am going to disneyland today. I have to go to school half a day, and then at lunch I get to leave and go to disneyland. My cousin Darrion is coming with me.

Also, I had a fun weekend. On Friday after school Max came over. We went to CVS and got orange Fanta and m&m's and then we went and watched Spiderman 3. Max played with all of my superheroes while we watched the movie.

Saturday night Michael spent the night at my house. We stayed up late. On Sunday he got to come to church with us. We told everyone that his name was Bob. When they sang to him in primary they welcomed Bob. Ha Ha. Mom spoiled it though, she called him Michael, so we had to tell everyone that his name was Bob Michael, and that sometimes he goes by Michael. When we were leaving church a lot of the kids from primary said bye Bob!

Sunday night Dallin spent the night. We drew and watched Monster House. Then Monday, mom took us to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch. I hit the Jackpot on a game and so did Dallin. We ended up with 950 tickets. It was fun.

I'll see you when I get back. I can't wait to go on Matterhorn. Also, I'm trying Tower of Terror for the first time.

We did a haunted house this year in Grandma's basement.

I really liked it. I hope you did too, Boo!

P.S. Thanks Grandma!

Here are some pictures

Alex was the "tour guide". Dallin was hidden in the coffin.

These are pictures of Michael and James. They helped too. My job was to hide under the table and grab your ankles as you walked by. It was scarier when the lights were off and the strobe light was on. Also there was Halloween music. Ben helped too, but we didn't get a picture. He was hiding in one of the cupboards waiting to jump out and scare you. If you missed it this year, wait until next year. It will be even scarier.

Carving Pumpkins

2007-11-01T08:56:00.001-07:00

Mom, Dad and I carved pumpkins for Halloween. Can you guess which one mom did, which dad did, and which one I did?

Halloween Costume

2007-11-01T08:52:00.000-07:00

For my costume this Halloween I was Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Most people thought I looked like Jack, but only the cool people knew that I was really Barrel. So here's a picture of me and the real Barrel. Can you tell which is which?

New Contacts

2007-10-30T08:11:00.001-07:00

Saturday night I got my contacts because the screw fell out of my glasses at trunk or treat. Jared got them for me. I like them a real lot, but they are flimsy and hard to get in. - Joe

Surprise...

2007-10-14T17:28:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, during Family Home Evening Grandma announced that we would all be going to Disneyland the following morning!!! Unfortunatley, I was the only one who didn't know about this surprise, so I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. After about a minute or so, my mom thout that I thought that Grandma was just joking. So she told me that we really were going and that we had to pack tonight. We even got to stay at Embassy Suites! After hearing that, I broke down laughing with excitement. The rest of the time we were at Grandma's, Dallin and I talked about the fun that was going to happen in the next few days. Stacy even vowed that she would go on the Mattorhorn with me. (Which I was afraid of going on....at the time) So the next morning, my mom and I packed everething in our tiny little car and went to Grandma's to leave from there. We said a big family prayer and headed off to California!
