New Home

        I am proud to announce that we got a house! It's in Lehi, Utah about ten minutes away from my aunt and uncle, David and Amber.  I will still be attending elementary school so I won't have to be that new kid in the middle of middle school. I haven't seen the house yet but I know it's a two story. My family and I plan to move in on the 29th. The day after Christmas my dad will fly to the storage unit in Arizona. Apparently someone broke in and tore our boxes open, we assume nothing was stolen. So he'll probably tape the boxes up and drive to Utah. I can't wait to sleep without my oldest brothers. The new school I'm attending may or may not have band, but I hope they do because I love playing the clarinet. My parents are happy that they don't have to house hunt, but my dad still has to job hunt. We are very thankful for this, and hope my dad will find a job soon. 

Utah

             Our trip to Utah was beautiful, I forgot how pretty the mountains looked. My brother, Declan, was easier to take care of because he's seven months old now. It's Declan's first Christmas this year, and I am hoping for a white Christmas. In Arizona it only snows about once every thirty years. My cousins, Hannah, Maggie, Sophie, Caleb, and Katrina, are a joy to play with. We all like playing Harry Potter Clue, and watching Studio C together. When Katrina plays Harry Potter Clue with us we convert the characters into princesses, and scary objects into magical items. For example the "Floo Powder" is glitter. Caleb, Katrina and I are home schooled, while Hannah, Maggie, and my other brothers Ethan, Jonah, and Asher go to a public school. I think I will like it here in Utah. 

Christmas and New Year 2013-14

For Christmas I got a bike and a shadow box filled with the Maryland flag  the D.C. temple and a Maryland
shaped button thing, and many other things but most of all I got to spend my time with family. I have to admit I got car sick a lot, but it was worth it. :) My aunt, Kelsey, and my new uncle Cliff got married it was an exiting, and solemn moment. I as well got to spend some time with my cousins on my dad's  side as well and we celebrated with them too. And now I'm just happy to be home. :)  Merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!!  -Elizabeth

Happy Halloween!!

This year for Halloween I was a Hobo. I got an old shaggy plaid jacket, and ripped up pants. I also carried a stick with a bag at the end. But the  problem with that was that I kept hitting people in the face with my stick! I also went Trick-or-treating with my friend Anna. I felt so bad for the people I hit, I also accidently poked a man in the eye!! YIKES !! oh well next year I'll probably do a more simpler costume. After a couple hours out, I went home with my other friend, Allison, in her dad's car It was FREEZING COLD . The only way I could get warm was ducking down and squeezing  in a tight corner. When I got home I wrapped up in a blanket, eating my candy, and watching old Garfelid Halloween shows on my dad's old computer.             What a crazy Halloween!! :)

Clarinet

Sorry folks, I am switching to the Clarinet at the last minute. It turns out LOTS of people were playing the trumpet , more boys. My mom played Clarinet as well. I am OK ,I can make a sound but its not very good. L.M.B.O. :) Two of my friends are playing flute and the clarinets get to sit by the flutes!! I am always the last person out of band. My band teacher is Mr. Anderson. Last year it was Mr. Zaur, but he moved to a different school. :(   It hurts my hand when I go into the right position my mom says it'll get some getting use to. Just making sure you all know I am now a clarinetist.

School coming soon!!

I am so exited for school!! But most of my friends aren't. Mainly because I kind of like school, both learning and the social life it's kind of like living in the jungle sometimes. For fifth grade I got Mrs. Hall. Everybody says she's nice and I trust them. I also think that it will be a wonderful year!! :)  My brother jonah got Mrs. Bretzke for fourth grade. I had her last year and she was fun. My other twin brother has Mrs. Dugan she's new this year. My youngest brother Asher has Mrs. Rissi. He's not  happy about his teacher. But I think she will be a great engaging  teacher.  This year art special ( class) comes to your classroom for art. I also get the opportunity to play...... THE TRUMPET!! Now our house will be as loud as ever. He-He :)
