Upside-Down

Usual Photogenics...of Kelli

I fear I am entering into the realm that everyone warned me about, and with 5 girls I am sure that it will become amazing at some point to watch them all enter the "emotions" of being a teenager. Kelli is already starting to grow up, and be too serious for pictures. This is what I get from her quite often. She is so beautiful, I wish I could just get a smile. =) Just a little one. Please

All About Daddy...

This picture was taken in the Memorial Union @ ASU. It is often difficult to get Kelli to smile in pictures these days. Apparently she is just find doing it if Daddy is around.

Inseperable...

I love that Kelli & Emma are so close in age...they have a ton of fun together, especially in their room. This is a cozy bed they made on the floor together to watch a movie. It is hard to watch them grow up so fast...but I think they are doing a wonderful job.

Cool Hair...

I know that I already posted them on the main blog but I wanted the girls to remember how cool their mom was.

Kelli says "I like my Pie Top Hair".

All About School...

Kelli loves school. She loves to work at her homework, and she is almost always busy with something that has to do with school. At this age I can truly see her reasoning and logic begin to work as she sees consequences for behaviors as well as cause and effect in almost any situation. Not only these things...but she can do homework in some very interesting positions. Here she is with her snack, doing homework...Isn't she cute?

Braces.....

Nervous to get started!

Gross!

I can taste the glue...double gross!

End Result

Today I got my Braces put on. It was weird how they put the expander in, and the glue tasted really horrible. I don't like them because they hurt my teeth, but I think they look cool! The rubber bands are pink. I can't wait to see what my teeth will look like when I am done. When I walked into my class at the end of the day, everyone wanted to see my braces. They said, "Wow, did it hurt when they put them on?".

All About Tucson & Mt. Lemon

Bored

Simple Kelli

Ping Pong Papa

Wheel Barrel Ride

Jenga

When I went to Tucson I went hiking on Mt. Lemon! Well not exactly hiking...we were pretty much playing in a low water creek. The water was freezing! All of us got our shoes soaked! I was the only one who didnt bring extra shoes! I had to wear my wet ones to dinner. When we were playing in the water I was diging in a sandy area and I found a worm. Emma knocked it out of my hands when my mom tried to take the picture, because she thought it was gross. When we got to my Nana & Papa's house the next day we went outside and played Ping Pong. Then Papa pushed us in the wheel barrel. My uncle and cousin came over for lunch. We had two bowls of Ice Cream while we were there, cool! I also got to go shopping with Nana and Mom at the grocery store. I had lots of fun.

All About Flagstaff

Me & Skylar, 3 Months apart, Best Friends since Birth

Just Chilin near the Grand Canyon

Casual Kelli, by Slide Rock

Sooo, Strong!

Camille Looking up to her Sister and Skylar...

WhenI went to Flagstaff we went hiking. when we were hiking we found a hill. All the kids went on top. We found cool flowers, and we also found a squirrel or 3. My favorite part of the whole trip was finding the flowers during the hike. At the Grand Canyon it was cool to see the Colorado River all the way down at the bottom. I wasn't scared at all. I want to go back...it was a lot of fun.

All About Chuck E. Cheese

Me & Mallory (One of my Best Friends)

Chuck E. Cheese was fun! I saw my friends Mallory and Jacob, also my PE teacher Mrs. Abadessa. Some of the games I played were Ski Ball, Fred, and Catch the Fish. The pizza was good, but mostly I just wanted to play games.

All About the First Day of School

My first day of school was August 4th. I had lots of fun. My teacher called the day information overload, because she had to tell us so much information about the class and how the year was going to work. I made 2 new friends, Katie & Jasmine. I also got to take a picture with an old friend Paige, see above. My favorite part of the 1st day of school was making new friends. I like my teacher because she is fun and she does a lot of stuff like stickers and treasure box. She likes to do on the spot cards and star student also. I got an on the spot card the first week, for Share and Care, because I reminded the teacher that we had music a couple minutes before we had to leave. I can't wait to see the 2nd week of school.

All About D-Backs

On Thursday we went to the Diamondbacks Game. They played the cubs. The D-Backs lost because the Cubs scored 3 runs in a row right before we left. The score was 10-6. It was still a good game. Being at the stadium was really fun. I thought the ball might get hit into the big screen. The game was really good at the beginning, but then at the end I am glad we left so that we wouldn't see the Diamondbacks get their tooshies kicked.

All About Swimming

This is me at a BBQ with our friends the Coates from our ward. We went swimming and my mom took a picture of me and Noelle in the pool. Noelle also gave us turtle rides and jumped off of the diving board. Her daughter Hillary is my sisters Lindee and Camille's swimming teacher. When Santa, her husband jumped in the pool there was a big SPLASH. We also ate outside on our towels, just the girls, and we watched Happy Feet.

The water in this picture makes my body short and funny.

All About the USA

For the Fouth of July my Mom & Dad bought me a silly hat. This picture is NOT the fourth of July. We actually forgot to wear our hats that day. This is me at In N Out Burger when our Grandma Louise took us for lunch. My Grandma thinks the hat looks like Cat in the Hat. She has one too, but she didn't wear it to her party either. She thought it looked goofy. The day we bought the hats, my mom wanted to take a picture of my Grandma in the hat, and then put it on the blog. Grandma refused! I still wish I could have seen her in it.

All About Piano

Today I had a piano Lesson. My teacher, Mrs. Irvine...mentioned that I need to work more on my Staccatos. I bet most of you don't even know what that means. FYI, it means you play a note like you are touching a hot iron, really really fast. Right now I am practicing "My Blue Canoe" and "Hannah from Montana". My favorite song that I have played so far is "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven. I love playing piano.
