Arizona Pictures!!

Hannah insited that we get one picture of the family while we were there.

(If I may add, she was being a little bossy. Don't tell her I said that.)
A BEAUTIFUL Arizona sunset. Amazing!
(Thank-you Grandpa for this picture!)

Dad and I atop McIntosh Mountain.

Please note:

McIntosh Mountain is NOT the official name of this mountain. I honestly have no clue what it is.

A view of the Dinosaur Mountain range from Nanny and Grandpa's yard.

(Yes, that is the official name of the mountain range.)

Grandpa's new puppy, Almandeen. Almondeen? Almondean? You get the idea. She's a cute little puppy...

Merry (Belated) Christmas!

'Tis the season to apologize. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately, but I've been doing a little Christmas travel. My plane got in at about 6:00pm last night, and we didn't get home until about 11:00pm. I'm awaiting the arrival of my pictures from Arizona, and I will post them once the email comes.
Yesterday, my family and I traveled for about 12 hours, because the plane we were supposed to fly on decided not to work. We were supposed to take off at 11:52am, but ended up leaving at 4:15pm. By the way, this happened on the way home. Everything on the way to Arizona was smooth flying.
I got a lot of cool things from my family, so THANK-YOU!!!!
XOXO,

Snow Day!

Amelia dosen't feel attractive in her snow outfit.
A picture of how much it really snowed.

Amelia likes drawing smiley faces on her mom's car.

order=0>Amelia's mom's car got snowed on....hehe.

Almost 4 inches in the shallow part.

Leadership

A new trimester has approached ever so quickly at Miller Jr. High. This means new classes, new grades, and new surprises. Starting with last Wednesday, for example.
I was talking to my friend Chansey (of whom I share my Leadership/elective class) about our schedule change. She pointed out, "I can't belive we have eighth grade lunch now!" and I literally gasped. I had NO KNWOLEDGE of this fact. Dining with eighth graders was not exactly in my agenda. Here's an overview of the rest of the conversation.

Me: "What? We have eighth grade lunch?"
Chansey: "Yeah. It's a combined class with 7th and 8th grade."
Me: "That's jank."

Chansey was correct, and today I ate lunch with the small handful of "seveys" that were thrown in against their will like me. There are 10 of us, counting the world rythems class that also have 2nd lunch.
So that's how my trimester started out. Can't wait until March 4, 2009.

XOXO,

Meet Dixie!

We welcome the newest addition to the McIntosh family! She is a Blue/Red Heeler and German Shepherd mix (Or a purple Shepherd :-). Dixie caught Hannah's eye at the Grays Harbor Fairgrounds yesterday, and Hannah always wanted a blue heeler. So voila! We brought her home. Tasha will have to adjust to the new 8-week-old!

Watch a clip of Dixie in action!

XOXO,

!Amelia~&~Dixie!

She's Thankful for a Pyramid?

Erm, no. I'm not thankful for a pyramid. Well, sort of...

The blurry pictures you see above are the photos of my faux pyramid. I built it for my social studies class in hope of extra credit. No, my pyramid is not life size. I don't think they shrink you to barbie-sized in the afterlife. I wouldn't know, since I've never been a dead Egyptian.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thought I should give a list of all that I'm thankful for. Cliche? Yes. Do I care? Nope :-)

I'm thankful for:

• All things music,
• My family and friends
• My BESTIES
• The extended portion of the fam :-)
• All the recent technologies

XOXO

Amelia Rose (Pilgrim at Heart!)

Oh, How it's Been so Long!

Sorry! I've been rather busy with everything! Here is an update on my current life arrangement. :-)

1) I finished a 496 page book! (Twilight by Stephanie Meyer)
2)I've been obsessively listening to music...(Poker Face and Just Dance by Lady Gaga, and crushcrushcrush by Paramore)
3) I have the best social studies teacher in the world! I love Mr. Harless' class! (I'm currently building a pyramid out of poster board...yowza!)
4) I'm getting good at making oragami frogs!
5) I started PE last week. I can in fact do push-ups! (Are they good? No.)
6) I got rainbow braces...and broke a bracket.

So that's what's up in my life. How 'bout you?
XOXO,
Amelia
