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.

Christopher's B-day/ BYU football
This post is kind of ... well, late-coming. It happened in October, but lazy, lazy me didn't want to post until we found the lost photos to ... well, kind of, help tell the story. And I've found them.
Kids get their picture taken with Cosmo Cougar, the BYU mascot.
Steven, Jared, Cosmo, Me, Adam
Parents couldn't resist!
Mom, Cosmo, Aunt Mary
" Steven and the birthday cupcake", can he eat it?
Lunchtime before the big game!
"Yum. Cupcakes!!!"
Family picture taken by some nice passerby.
Happy Me
The two sisters... Laura Beth and Mary Cate!
Sanford and Christopher: Big Brothers, Best Buds!
"BYU against OSU," says Grandpa. "2 horrible teams. Now we'll just find out who's worse."
Wisdom of a beloved Grandpa just cannot be denied.
The BYU cougars won, by the way.

The Mackay Cousins come over
Our 2nd cousins (meaning my mom's cousins), the Mackays, came over!!!
There is: Aunt Joanna, Uncle Andy, Brooke, Jessica and Austin.
They came late Friday night, at their hotel.
The next day, we visited with them.
First we went to the Gilbert House.
We had a lot of fun.
Then we went next door to the carousel.
I found out that they had taken my favorite horse, Magic, off to make room for a Christmas horse named "Glad Tidings".
Some hard world, huh?
We rode twice, playing the "ring game"- see older post.
Then they invited us over to their hotel to swim in their pool, and we had a lot of fun swimming there!
Then they came to our house to play and have dinner.
Frankie had a lot of fun with them, too, and vice versa.
We had homemade hamburgers and french fries with purple grapes and raw veggies.
Me and Jessica played and, with everyone else, watched Pete's Dragon.
Then we made Jessica's bed on the black "futon" in my room. We also made Austin's bed in Christopher's room and Brooke slept on the hide-a-bed in the living room.
Uncle Andy and Aunt Joanna drove back to the hotel.
We were just about to go to sleep when... pause for effect...
IT STARTED TO SNOW!!!
We all went outside to enjoy some fresh air and snowflakes, then mom read us some stories aloud, then went to bed.
When we woke up the next day (Sunday), we looked outside and guess what?
EVERYTHING WAS COVERED IN GLORIOUS SNOW!!!
Church was canceled due to the hazardous driving conditions :(
Anyways, we had a wonderful snowday off.
Brooke and Julianna sledding down our driveway!
Dad's best friend, Bradley Jackson, came over and surprised us.
He pulled a HILARIOUS prank by walking to our house and writing SCOT on the snow in the car window and hiding.
We didn't know it was him until he came and told us, L.O.L!!!
Angel after a rough backwards sled ride!
Him and I built an awesome snowman that was too tall to last until 3:30 p.m. *sob*
Bradley rolling the snowman's head- he's so tall, we only got him up to his mouth... silly silly silly!
It was a great snowman, anyway. It was about 6 feet tall!
The Bassetts came over later and we played.
Later everyone went home.
We had dinner, watched a Book of Mormon movie, and went to 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:)

Grandpa and Grandma's beach resort :)
Grandma and Grandpa Blanchard rented a beach resort for their anniversary!
They invited us over for an afternoon because Grandma wanted to do something nice for us. She wanted to because Mom had been stuck at home with no car, and that was because of Dad's car accident almost 3 weeks ago.
We went to Winco to get some snacks. First we went to the fruit aisle and got cantaloupe, Golden Delicious apples, grapes and fresh apricots. Then we went to the bulk aisle and got: gummy peach rings, gummy grapefruit, gummy butterflies, gummy-like dehydrated apples, dried papaya, dried mango, Trail mix, chocolate and vanilla wafers, chocolate-covered pretzels and
yogurt-covered pretzels- treats to celebrate the beginning of summer.
Then, after a 2 and 1/2 hr drive, we got to the resort.
We looked out on the balcony.
And then, we went swimming in their pool.
First, I swam with Grandma in a zebra floaty. Then Grandpa caught me.
I told him I didn't want to swim, but Grandpa insisted, so he taught me how to kick by saying: "Kick like you're mad! Kick like you're mad!" So I kicked and he said: "That's great! Linda (Grandma), come see how Dorathy kicks!"
And then I said,"That's because I was mad!" and Grandpa laughed.
Then we went in the spa because I was old enough!
Then we went to Mo's (An awesome seafood restaurant) for lunch.
I ordered off the kid's menu.
I got the "Shrimp Basket"- 4 pieces of breaded shrimp and French fries. Julie couldn't finish her lunch, so I finished her "Clam Strips"- pieces of breaded clam.
Then we went to the beach.
Christopher, me, and Grandpa built a sandcastle and tried to protect it from the waves, but the waves got the sandcastle (even with our large protective trench) in the end.
Then we went home, eating lots of snacks on the way.
