Surprise!

Last night I was going to bed, when Sixtoes and then Brownie got on my bed. Brownie would have been normal, but Sixtoes, she is still mot of the time afraid of us. Well, anyway, around 4 AM I was awakened by mewing. I thought it was Sixtoes, but I relized it sounded more like a kittens meow. I was thinking: "It's possible, but I don't think so. Not yet." Well, I turned on the light and there was a little orange kitten there. Janessa heard me talking to Sixtoes (call me insane but, yes, I talk to my cats) and she woke up. I kept trying to sleep but I didn't really sleep that well. By the time I went to school, there were 3 orange kittens and my bed was disgusting.
School was really boring as usual. We had pictures today, it sorta felt like my picture turned out well, but who knows? One can only hope. And that's about everything even remotly interesting.
When I got home there were 4 kittens; the fourth ended up gray. I think 3 of them have 6 toes, not exactly sure though. Anyway, we haven't really came up with any permanent names, but they gray one may be named Thunder after my Uncle's cat, who is getting on in years. (Technically Thunder the II, but we would call him Thunder.)

Vacation III

On Monday, we went to Lagoon again. It was really fun and everyone was a lot less tired than last time. After Lagoon closed we drove home. I unpacked a little, went on the internet a bit, and hugged my kitties. I was so happy they were safe and they were still so cute!!! :) You could tell they missed us so much...:) they are such suck ups. :) That's what makes them so cute though. That night I went to bed around 1 AM
And that's the end of my vacation!

Vacation II (The Great Salt Lake)

Today my dad didn't want to sit around all day at the hotel so we decided to go to the Great Salt Lake, and to kill even more time, take the backroads. We drove around forever and eventually got to one part of the lake, but we didn't want to go in. So we left and this time my dad let me drive. It was really fun. We eventually got to this one bay part (I forgot what it's called) and it was a dirt road. And it was SO BuMpY. We got to some water and collected some shells and pretty rocks, which I am gunna tape in my journal. (they are really small). Then we drove on and stopped a few times but there were tons of horseflies. So we kept driving thinking we would get out the other side. We saw tons of awsome birds along the way. (If this were one of those dumb english tests, that would be sentence that doesn't really fit in...oh well.)
I was driving forever and it was getting really annoying. Finally I hit a rock and it made a really loud noise. I freaked out and my dad looked. We didn't hurt the oil pan but bent some thing under there, I forgot what it's called. But it wasn't anything too important. So my dad asked if I wanted him to drive. so I let him. I was getting pretty sick of it after an hour and a half. So we kept driving and finally got to a point where the road didn't go anywhere. We could see civilization just a half mile away, but couldn't get to it. So we had to go all the way back....yes, great fun of getting bumped around for another hour. I made it better by listening to the OLC though. Anyway, yeah, we just got back and now I am going swimming.

Vacation I

I've been on vacation since last Wednesday. First we drove to Layton and the Holiday Inn Express (my favorite hotel ever) was booked. So we tried a few other hotel and eventually we stayed at a hotel that just opened about 30 minutes ago. It was awsome. But it seemed as if they had a lot of things wrong. Like no garbage cans, and I went on the elevator and it just stopped. You can imagine my panick because I HATE elevators. But anyway, while we were at that hotel we ate out, went swimming, as well as other things.
The second day we checked out and moved to an older motel but it's basically just as nice and everything isn't breaking right and left. Plus this one has internet connection. The other one would've had wireless but it wasn't up yet. grrrr. Anyway, at our new hotel we first went swimming. It was boring so my dad threw a bunch of coins in and we had to dive for them. Very tiring but entertaining. I won which means when we go to lagoon I will get the shower first. :)
For the rest of the day, we just did random stuff. My siblings had fun in the fitness room and I filmed them doing funny stuff and that's about it.
The next day we went to lagoon. We stopped at the store and bought lots of treats, and got to lagoon almost right when they were opening. It was really fun. I finally got to go on Cliffhanger which has always been closed. SO FUN!! My dad even convinced me to go on the Catapult. It's a ball that you sit in and get shot way up into the air. It was actually really fun and we went twice. They had a broadway show thingy, and i went just because I thought they might do a song from Les Mis. Well they didn't and I am so angry. The show was good and all but I WANT LES MIS!!! anyway....the day was really fun, and I got a little sunburned. :D
On the way back we got really lost because they were doing construction on the freeway so we didn't know how to get on it. We drove all over and everyone was really hyper which made everything extremely funny. We drove down this one road and there was a checkpoint of some kind with a guy in a little booth thingy. A sign said "pay $2 per axle". I know it sounds retarted, but we were laughing our heads off. Eventually we figured out it was probably an entrance to the hill airforce base. Still way funny. Eventually we got back to where I reconized everything. Mom and I both thought we should turn down this one road, but my Dad said pass because it was really dark and he thought we might get mugged. So we passed it and eventually went going a really long way. The way Mom and I said would have been the right path.
The next day we basically just recovered from Lagoon. We napped half the day and layed on the beds doing nothing. Near evening I started feeling really sick, thinking it was probably because I was hungry. So we drove across town to this cute little cafe. I felt sick throughout the whole meal but afterwards I began to feel better. On the way back we stopped at Smith's and bought food, and I finally got tape so I can put things in my journal.
When we got back to the motel I rested for a second and cut out things to tape in my journal. Then we decided we would go swimming. I got ready but then my stomach hurt to bad so I rested more. Finally I went down to the pool and swam. My stomach still hurt a little but I am feeling a little better. Clint was being retarted (as usual) and Crystal can now swim. !!!! I am so happy for her! we've been trying to teach her forever. Of course she can only swim for a few feet, but that's still way awsome!
When we got out of the pool we watched TV until I fell asleep.
The next day I got up and ate breakfast. Then I came on here. Now this journal is updated completely!! I am still having fun but I miss Sanno terribly. He is so cute and fuzzy. I just hope him and Brownie are ok. Anyway, I guess this is the end!
