I turned 11 recently!
Me and two of my best friends, Athena and Jacqueline, had a hang-out/slumber party.
First we went to the Kroc Center in Salem, OR, and swam, then we went to the nearby Cold Stone Creamery, across from the City Center Street mall.
They sung 'Happy birthday' to me and I opened presents.
Then we observed the Playmobil and Calico Critters toys ant the neighboring Learning Palace at the mall, while mom got some Papa John's pizza next door. Then, afterwards, she bought me some Calico Critters, the Yellow Labrador Dog Family, as another birthday present.
Then we went home, set up the hide-a-bed couch in the living room, and played.
We ate dinner: pizza!
The pizzas were Hawaiian, chicken, and cheese.
We also had some veggies.
Then we watched the Princess and the Frog, and went to bed.
Halfway through the night, Athena crawled under the hide-a-bed to sleep.
We all woke up at around seven, but Athena didn't come out till at least eight-thirty.

Athena's Slumber Party
I got invited to a slumber party at Athena's on the 15th of March.
She was turning 11 this year.
Her real birthday was the 11th, but the 11th was on a Sunday so she had it on the 15th.
Which means Happy GOLDEN Birthday to my cousin Athena!
The other 4 people she invited were: Jacqueline, Taylor, Ayla, and Hannah.
I knew the first and second, but the latter two girls were Athena's school friends, and I'm homeschooled, so naturally I wouldn't know them.
But I got to know them, anyways.
I gave her: a Beanie Ball ( a Beanie Baby in the shape of a ball), a bracelet my sister Courtney made, Glow Sticks, a plush Jolteon (a kind of Pokemon), and a bag of Skittles.
She LOVES Skittles and Jolteons especially.
So as you can imagine she was pretty happy!
Some of her other presents were: Pokemon cards, Pokemon cards, and a jewelry kit.
Saying Pokemon cards twice was NOT a mistake.
Two of her friends gave her the same pack of Pokemon cards.
Funny!
Anyway we had a great time.

Fun Playdate
On Saturday I had a really fun playdate.
It started when I woke up, did my list, and ate two bowls of Cornflakes, and some grapes, for breakfast.
Then Athena and the other Bassetts picked me and Courtney up for clogging class.
We clogged to "Sway," "Friend in Me," "Uncle John," and "Vacation".
My friend Jacqueline was there, too.
Afterwards, we (Me and Athena) listened to my Mp3 player and went to Athena's farm and played a "Bomber man" game.
Then, we went to my Grandma's house and had lots of fun playing, and had lots of snacks for lunch.
Me, Athena, and my other favorite cousin, Katie, had lots of fun playing.
As soon as it was time to go home, me and Athena drove home in the same car, and played all the way home. Since it was a car pool, the Bassett's car was at our house. We had toast and green smoothie for dinner, then we went to bed.

The teeth X-amination
I've lost 3 teeth in 3 months... all canines! How probable is that?
Month 1#
Mom read an Alaskan story about an Eskimo.
I wiggled my not-so-loose tooth. It got looser & looser & looser.
That night,it got so loose and tickly that I asked Dad to pull it out and he did!
Month 2#
Athena came over for a sleepover.
We had corn chowder for dinner.
My tooth was so loose, I couldn't chew the ham.
The next morning (Dad was at work the night before) Dad pulled it out quick as lightning!
Month 3#
I went to Olive Garden the night before.
The food was so filling, there was leftovers!
After the Dallas Summerfest parade, I went home and had leftovers for lunch.
The leftovers were bread sticks and Fettuccine Alfredo w/ grilled chicken.
My tooth was so loose, it came out in the bread stick!
In the excitement of all these events, there were no pictures:(

Turning 10
So sorry everyone, I have not posted since June!
I turned 10 on July 15th. My party theme was "Harry Potter."
We did a bunch of fun things.
First we all got "Sorted" by the "Sorting Hat"(a sparkly plastic party hat). Mom was the voice of the Hat. I was in Ravenclaw.
Then we played Pin the Glasses on Harry Potter. My Aunt Mary drew the picture- she did an awesome job!
Jacqueline and Athena tied for closest- no one got it exactly.
After that we played "Spell Tag." Then we played pretend Quidditch.
Then we had "Potions Class" with Professor Snape (a.k.a. Dad). We made glitter glue, and a potion with melted gummy bears.
Then- Dinnertime! We had lasagna, green beans, milk, and crusty garlic French bread. Yummy!
After that was cake. My cake was a golden snitch!!! I designed the white wings. My Mom made a chocolate cake and frosted it with yellow vanilla buttercream frosting.
After that, present time!!! I got so many awesome presents! I got lots of books and stuffed animals.
Then was a movie. We watched "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Then we slept on our hide-a-bed.

Playdate = fun, fun, fun, fun!
The Bassets came over for a playdate- All 4!!
First Athena and I played imaginary games for awhile. Then we put on a play called "The 2 Kingdoms" with My Little Ponies. It was fun!
And then, we jumped on the trampoline 'till Mom called us to come watch a movie- The Last Unicorn.
Then Athena had to go home, and I went to Girl's Club(See about this in another post:), the final project and potluck.
At the potluck there was: 2 kinds of lazagna, 2 macaroni salads, and a fruit salad. Then everyone presented their project. Leah did Marie Curie, Hannah did Diane Fossey, and me and Mara and Seneca did Georgia O'Keeffe.
For dessert, gigantic banana splits in two foil-lined rain gutters! Yum:)

Anne Frank Ballet
We( That is to say, S, C, A, Me, and Aunt Mary) went to a ballet of part of the life of Anne Frank. It was very sad, as some ballets are.
It was mostly about their life in the attic before the concentration camp. I really liked it.
I wish I could have taken pictures.

Seattle Train Trip
Afterwards, we rode a Monorail and a subway and did quite a bit of walking to get back to the train. On the train, we played Slapjack and Uno and Mille Bornes and made a new friend, Hannah.
We were very sleepy when we got back, so we fell asleep pretty quickly.

Sleepover/ Emma's B-Day
The Bassetts had a sleepover at our house, Friday, 3/25/11.
Me and Athena, after awhile, were going to Emma's B-Day party. After a while, Emma's mom came to pick us up. The other people in the car were: Fiona, Hava, Juliet and Emma.
We went to the Kroc Center. First we rock climbed, then we swam in their pool. We went home after that.
Then, at home, we played with Play-Doh.
We helped mom set up for dinner. Dinner was home made hamburgers & French fries.
Then we watched "The Princess & The Frog. It was a good movie. Then we went to sleep.

Athena's slumber party
Athena invited me to a slumber party at her house. We were celebrating her 10th Birthday. She also invited school friends Hannah, Ayla, Sydney, and Taylor.
We had lasagna for dinner, and then ice cream and a Costco cake. Then we opened presents. Athena got a lot of Pokemon cards.
Then, we totally freaked ourselves out in the dark outside, and Taylor almost wet her pants.
I finally fell asleep at something like 1:37 a.m. We had hash for breakfast and then spent the rest of our time hanging out by Athena's pond and catching salamanders
(we caught 2.), until we had to go home.
It was the best party ever!

CHINESE OPERA!!!!
Yes another post! Athena, her big brother Sanford, Christopher, and ME ( of COURSE!) went to a Chinese Opera! It was called "The Chinese Orphan".
It was about this wicked man who wanted to kill all the relatives and all of this Chinese family called the " Zhao", and he killed them all except one orphan that he did not recognize. COOL, eh?
US! Athena, "General", ME!(Dorathy!)
The "Orphan" and the"Princess"(the "Orphan's" mother.).
The boys with "The General", they were pretty happy about this shot! "The General" was a pretty important character. He helped the baby "Orphan" get away from the wicked man.(Mr.I do NOT remember his name!)

The Field Trip
Last Friday was crazy!! We had a field trip to two museums-one well known, one not. We had a short family prayer, breakfast, and scripture study,and then we cleaned the car and picked up the Bassetts and Hedlunds. We drove to the Jensen Arctic Museum and went on a tour . They had things like Arctic Eskimo yo-yo's, Arctic dolls, and Arctic books. Then, when it was done, we went to have lunch. Mine was a cheese-and-ketchup sandwich, some chips, and a molasses cookie. Then we drove to the Polk County Museum and we had a lot of fun. There was a pioneer-like playroom for kids. Me and my cousin and best friend Athena had a lot of fun playing we were pioneers. Mom took pictures.
We were "Elizabeth" and "Alice,"pretend pioneer girls .
Here, we were borrowing Pa's horses and wagon to ride to school. They had pretend pioneer dress-up clothes, in which we are wearing in these pictures. L.O.L!
Say cheese! CHEESE!
