A couple Sundays ago, Grandma Barb, Mom, Ashlee, Naomi and I went to see the Broadway Musical "Little Women" at the Boston Opera House!! It was a REALLY good Musical. It was moving at some points. It is SO AMAZING inside the opera house!! Almost everything is gold!! It is SO pretty, too!! I thought it was a very good experience!! I had an AWESOME time!!

Locks of Love/Hocky Game

This Saturday (January 14) I get to go to a Lowell Lock Monsters Hocky game because I donated my hair to Locks of Love!! The hair place that I got my hair cut at was giving away tickets to people who had cut their hair for Locks of Love!! Cool, huh?! They're having a "ceremony" to promote Locks of Love at half time during the game Saturday!! All the people who got tickets by donating get to go out on the ice while people talk about Locks of Love. I'm not sure exactly what they're going to do, but I'll post it when I get a chance after the game!! Erika and Katelyn got tickets to the game, too!! So....I thought it was pretty awesome!!

Happy New Year 2006!!

Happy New Year Everyone!! I know that this might be kind of late, too!! I hope that everyone has a very blessed new year!!! If anyone wants to, you can put your new year's resolution as a comment!!!

Merry (late) Christmas

HI EVERYONE!!!!!
I'm SO sorry that I haven't posted in a while!! My family and I went to NY to visit my Dad's side of my family! We had alot of FUN!!! (I love my family!!!) There was alot of people there, my cousins from Africa, Texas, Ohio, Maine, and 3 families from New York (not including my Grandparents!!) It was really nice that we got to see my cousin from Africa before they go back!! I'm going to (and already am!!) miss them ALOT!!! I have two cousins in the family that lives in Africa, Caleb (he's 14 years old), and Jessica (she's 12 years old). I'm going to miss Jessica ALOT because she's the closest cousin to my age (she's 2 weeks older than me!!). They are ALOT of FUN!!! The next time we get to see them is when they come back to the U.S. in about 4 years (I think), so Caleb can go to collage. I'm going to miss all of my cousins ALOT!!! I had SO much FUN with all of them!!
One of the days we were in NY we played soccer!! It is alot of fun, first it started out that it was the girls against the boys, but the girls were out-numbered (that and we were sort of bad and needed some help!!), so some of the uncles played on the girls side!! It was alot of fun, but then we had to go have lunch. After lunch, we started to play again, but most of the girl lost interest pretty quickly. Soon I was the only girl left!! The teams were, me, my Dad, and 3 of my uncles against, 1 of my uncles, my little brother, my little cousin (he's around Reuben's age), and two of my older cousins (Caleb, and my cousin Philip, who's about 2 years older than Caleb. They are both really good!!). Anyways, it was REALLY fun!!!! I can't really explain it, but it was fun!! When we were done, everyone was really sweaty and was breathing hard. Reuben and Levi (my little cousin) didn't really play, they were both the goalies (the goal was just 2 cones about 3-5 feet apart, and Reuben and Levi were just standing in between them talking!! It was kind of funny!!) Anyways...I had ALOT of fun with all of my cousins!!
Could everyone please pray for my Grandpa?? He's having some physical problems, so please pray!! Thanks!!!
Well...I think that you all might be able to tell that I love my family!!! Oh, and if Josh is reading this-HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
P.S. If anyone in my family is reading this-I love you all and miss you all, too!!!

"The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"


Last night, me, my family, Ngiap, Ariel, Bekah, Mr. Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Wacome went to see the "Chronicles of Narnia" at the theater. I thought it was avery good movie!!! At times it was sort of scary, like when the White Witch was killing Aslan. But if scary things don't bother you, I would definately recomend this movie to you!!!!
Here is Focus On The Family's "Clubhouse Magazine" Narnia movie reveiw-

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
MPAA Rating: PGDistributor: Walt Disney PicturesDirector: Andrew Adamson
Starring: Georgie Henley as Lucy, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, Anna Popplewell as Susan, William Moseley as Peter, Tilda Swinton as Jadis the White Witch, James McAvoy as Mr. Tumnus, Kiran Shah as Ginarrbrik, Jim Broadbent as Professor Kirke: voices of Liam Neeson as Aslan, Ray Winstone as Mr. Beaver, Dawn French as Mrs. Beaver.

After being evacuated from London during the World War II Nazi bombing, the Pevensie children — Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter — end up living with an old professor on a rambling country estate far from the city and the war. Under the watchful eye of the professor's strict housekeeper, Mrs. Macready, the children must find ways to keep themselves amused.
When Lucy discovers a huge wardrobe while playing hide and seek, the furs give way to firs, and she finds herself in a snow-covered land called Narnia. Soon all the Pevensie children enter this magical world where it is always winter but never Christmas. There the children must face the White Witch.
Chases. Fights. Battles. Beavers! A lion named Aslan who becomes a picture of Jesus. And the love that binds four siblings together. These are just a few of the reasons the land of Narnia is so loved by so many. This story is full of lessons about loyalty, courage, selflessness and sacrifice. Peter and Susan look after each other and their younger brother and sister.
Some scenes may be too intense for young viewers. Depictions of a bombing, battle scenes and chases will frighten some children. But the movie portrays very little blood and actual violence.
With strong spiritual themes, Narnia is an adventure that will give kids and their parents something to roar about!

I thought that this was a good reveiw because it was from a Christian veiw!!!!!!
My Dad liked the movie and said that now he has to see it again to see the details!!!
...I really liked it and hope that everyone else who sees it will like it too!!!!!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

Today it's raining really hard and our basement is getting a little flooded. My mom is outside shoveling the snow around the house!!
Before I got on the computer to write this, I was making Christmas gifts, I was making hemp stuff. Here are what the 2 that I've already compleated looks like (it's only the centers, the ends are just a regular "box" knot)-

Anyways...I thought that they came out nice!! Leave a comment and tell me what you think about them!!!

Snow Storm

Last Friday, we had a very bad snow storm. The snow piled up to about 15 in!!!!! Ariel was VERY excited, the day before she asked Ngiap if she could "go to the snow storm?"!!! Ngiap told her to wait and the snow storm would come to her. I think that she enjoyed going outside during the storm. The snow was so high that Awana was canceled!!!
On a different subject...
Last night Ashlee, Naomi, and I had our piano recital. We take piano lessons at Music Works, I think that it's really fun, and our teacher, Miss. Kathy, is AWESOME!!!!!! Ashlee, Naomi and I played an ensomble of "Carol of the Bells", and Ashlee played "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Anyways...the recital started at 4:30 p.m. and didn't end untill 6:00 p.m.. That wasn't to great, because we had our Youth Group Christmas party to go to that started at 5:00 p.m. and we knew that we were going to be late, but we got to the party around 6:20 p.m. so we only had about 40 minutes there, but after, we got to go out for pizza, so I guess it's o.k. (there was only about 10 people there, but about 20 people said that they would go :( ).
Anyways................................

The Cutting of the Hair

Today, in the town of Tewksbury, Erika, Katelyn, and Tori had their amazingly long hair cut off!!! YEA!!! Finally!!!!!! Here are some pictures!!!!
Before (My hair)
After (My hair)

It was kind of weird!!! I got 11in. taken off, Erika got 10in. taken off, and Katelyn got 12 1/2 in. taken off!!

When I first had the idea of cutting off my hair, I was in 1st grade. The reason I wanted to cut my hair was to donate the cut hair to Locks of Love, which is a organization which takes donated human hair and makes the hair into wigs for children who have cancer (a wig normally costs around $3000, but Locks of Love gives the wigs to people for free!!). I have been growing my hair out for 7 years!!!! Now I'm going to grow out my hair again, and when it gets long enough, cut it again and donate more hair to Locks of Love!!!!!!!! I have been putting off cutting my hair for a while, but I finally got the guts to do it!!!!!

Here are some more pics.

The hair person cutting my hair off!!!

Katelyn, me, and Erika holding our cut off hair!!


Finally, it was a good experience. I think it also feels good to know that you have helped someone!!!!

P.S. Now you might actually be able to see my number on my soccer uniform!!!!
