Sledding & Sleepovers & Pizza, Oh My!

Hiya, I'm back. I've been through a lot since yesterday, surprisingly, so I'll start, so listing all that I've done. Yesterday, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, & Dad came home from working out. We had a late breakfast(I ate nothing but bacon. Mmm...I love bacon...). Then, we went to lunch with Whitney & Taylor @ Chick-Fil-A. Mom had to stop @ the T-Mobile store for something, but that was boring, so it's not important. Then, Whitney & Taylor slept over. We watched "Snowy River", watched "Momma's Boy's", did our hair crazy(all except for Taylor), dressed up as nerds, made a video of Whitney, Sydney, & I as nerds, & slept. This morning, we decided to go sledding today. We ate a big breakfast of waffles, juice, & bacon. Mmm..I love bacon...but besides that... We went to Del Taco for lunch. I LOVE Del Taco, but there's no more of them in Texas! The horror! But then, we went sledding, & it was soo much fun! Hunter, Aunt Annette, & Heath came, too, & that was super-fun! The only bad things were: #1. It was very slippery & I fell down multiple times due to my balance problems. #2. Hunter tipped me once or twice, & now, I'm SORE. Grrr... #3. I accidentally got sent off this jump("accidentally"), & I landed it(yes!!! Hunter fell down trying to land it. A lot. It was funny. I laughed.)!!! But, I landed on my butt. HARD. So, apart from Hunter tipping me, I'm also sore from landing the jump. Grrr....so we ha pizza, & now, we're doing absolutely nothing, so I'm gonna stop typing. Later, ski gators!!!

I'm In A Snow-Covered WONDERLAND!!! What More Could I Ask For?

Hola, this is Savy, blogging from all the way in Taylorsville, Utah! It's wonderful here, & as my title says, it's a snow-covered wonderland! It looks like it just popped out of that song,"Winter Wonderland", cause it sure looks like one! Getting here a couple of days ago, the opposite of fun! Our flight was supposed to leave @ about 2:50, but instead, we got on the plane, & our flight was delayed by probably an HOUR! To make matters not so well, I got this massive migrane & a stomachache on the plane(I didn't eat a lot @ lunch, & it had been a long time since I had eaten). :( Our bags took forever to come in, too. But now, we're here, & its no longer the opposite of fun! I got to see my Aunt Carol, my Uncle Jack, & my cousins(in order from oldest)Taylor, Whitney, Jack, & Grant(Jack & Grant are twins, they're 5)on Saturday. Whitney, Sydney, & I played "Spies" against a team of Jake, Jack, & Grant. I got "held hostage" by Jack & Grant. They sat me in a chair & said,"Stay here! Don't move!" It was hilarious! Yesterday, I went to church with my family & my grandparents. For Young Women's & Sunday School, it was the same class that I had during the summer, so they welcomed me back with open arms. It was very nice. My Aunt Annette, my uncle Mike, & my cousins Lacy, Jared, Hunter, & Heath came to Grandma & Grandpa's house for Sunday dinner(Whitney's family couldn't come, Aunt Carol wasn't feeling well. :( I hope she feels better!). The dinner, roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, & rolls was very delicious. After that, Hunter, Heath, Sydney, Jake, Jared, & I watched James Bond in the basement, with movie treats of Reese's Pieces, Sun Chips, Hershey's Kisses, & Coke. After that, Jake & Heath went off somewhere, while Hunter, Sydney, Jared, & I tried to decide what to do. We were going to play Uno or Clue or something like that, but we ended up watching Deal or No Deal. All in all, my time in Utah has been great so far! Well, I'd better go, I think Jake & Sydney might wake up soon(it's 10:40 a.m. TX time, but it's an hour earlier in Utah, so it's 9:40 a.m.). Later, ski gators!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!

3 DAYZ TILL CHRISTMAS!!!

OMG, it's 3 days until Christmas!!! I'm so happy, but I can't believe that this Thursday is Christmas. Sydney and Jake are watching "A Spongebob Christmas". Well, I'm gonna go, gotta watch them. Bye! Merry Christmas!

Lalalalala...What? I'm Warming Up My Voice For Caroling!

Hi I'm back & I'm probably going to get in trouble but I'm blogging during school! I'm in the library for Yearbook commitee. It's kinda boring cause the only major assignment I've really gotten is taking pics @ the football game! ....I'm just bored. I WOULD be emailing Lauren, cause she's in Technology for Advisory, but she's "working"(Lauren? Working? Hahahahahaha!). I, too, am "working"...on Study Island. *sneezes* Sorry, I have a cold, but I must still go to school(BOO!). Plus, I have to run the mile in P.E. today(Once again, I HATE GYM!!!). Well, the bell's gonna ring in like 5 minutes(It's 10:55, & Advisory ends @ 11), so...shoot! Ms. Andrews, the librarian, is coming! Gotta go! Later, cheese gators! -Miss Savy C. ;)

LIFE IS CRAZY...But It's Almost Christmas!! YAY!!!

Hola, the wonderful, yet slightly insane(and spacey...jk), happy-go-lucky Savanna(a.k.a. The Super-Awesome Savy C.)is back, after a long, LoNg, LONG, LONG, time. That's actually what I call my special snickerdoodle recipe, "Savy's Super-Awesome Snickerdoodles"(very random...I know...). Well...um...uh...hmm.....my Winter Choir Concert, "The Bells of Christmas", was on Thursday! We(the Non-Varsity girls, or 7th grade girls)rocked the house with "Winter Troika Ride", "Nutcracker Jingles", and "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas". Well, 1st, the Sopranos, Altos, & Basses sang "Holly Carol" for the opening song, then the guys performed their songs, with their finale, Jingle Bells, "YMCA" version. To make things funnier, they had to dance to it! My friends & I, practically the whole CHOIR, were laughing sooo hard! Then, we sang our 3 songs, & we had to dance to "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", so to pay us back, when we were singing "Nutcracker Jingles"(which was Jingle Bells to all the different Nutcracker songs, "March of The Toy Soldiers", "Dance Of The Sugerplum Fairies", "Dance Of The Reed Flutes", & "Waltz Of The Flowers".), they were doing their dance to try to make us laugh on stage! Then, when we were singing & dancing on stage, they tried to mimic our dance moves, & when the Sopranos had to hop(the line: A pair of HOP-a-long boots & a pistol that shoots is the wish of Barney & Ben.), this 1 guy, Ashton, tried to hop while still sitting down, & his chair toppled over! ....We weren't very happy with them for making us laugh. But, we still sounded great! Finally, after the Varsity Girls sang, everybody sang "Carol Of The Bells" for the finale. "Carol Of The Bells" is my favorite Christmas carol, it just sounds so magical. Well, now it's 11 days to Christmas(I missed the Ward Christmas Party!!! Mommy & Daddy were gone somewhere, & I stayed home alone! I'm so mad! Waah!), this next week is my last week before Christmas Break, then 2 days after Christmas, my family & I are going up to Utah until New Year's Day. I'll still post on here though, so I can talk about Utah. Daddy's making dinner because Mom's @ a certification for her personal training job, & she's coming home tonight(she left on Friday), & Sydney & Jake(my brother & sister..i can't remember if I've talked about them on here...)are playing outside. Christmas music is playing on the radio....it's peaceful, quiet, and tranquil. Sigh...my crazy life decided to slow down on this Sunday evening(it's 5:20). But, when I wake up tomorrow morning, my life's gonna restart, & there won't be another peaceful, quiet moment like this for the rest of the week. Believe me, I...shoot. I hear Sydney screaming as she plays outside. Well, there goes my quiet moment. I'm gonna go tell her to be quiet, then I'm gonna play on Club Penguin. Later, cheese gators!

YAY!!!! It's Only Wednesday, But No School For ME!!!! Yeah!!

Ok, so I went & saw Twilight on Saturday, and as you can tell, that was....about 4 days ago. Actually, on Saturday morning, I was woken up by my sister and her friend Kennedy(who slept over). That was NOT FUN. &, they made me be the camera person & tape their show. I call it "The Sydney & Kennedy Show"(a parody of "The Lauren & Kirsten Show" that Lauren and Kirsten W. made @ Lauren's birthday party after Truck or Treat, it got turned into "The Savanna & Kirsten Show" for a brief segment while Lauren was playing Twister Moves), but they call it "Hot Topic"(because they "discuss the hottest things". I haven't told them that Hot Topic is a goth store in the Parks mall yet. LOL!). Their favorite segments of this particular episode of "Hot Topic" were "Topic Discussion: Team Edward or Team Jacob?" & "Trashing Hannah Montana While Playing With Dolls". They enjoy the Hannah Montana segment. A LOT. Anyways, so, I went and saw Twilight, & I can honestly say that it was good, very good, but not as good as I thought it would be. It didn't quite live up to the expectations of me & other mega-Twilight fans who know the book like the back of their hand. But, I have bad BaD bad BAD news about going & seeing the movie: I ALMOST WENT TO TEAM JACOB!!! Ok, I know it's not the biggest deal in the world, but I feel so bad!! Kirsten & I almost betrayed Edward!! Well, it's because the guy playing Edward(Robert Pattinson)is supposed to be drop-dead-GORGEOUS, and the guy playing Jacob(Taylor Lautner)is supposed to be okay, average!! But, instead, Edward is TOO average, almost UGLY(gasp!), & Jacob is HOT(especially in the prom scene: to DIE for!!!!)!!! So, yeah, I felt guilty for like, the 1st 2 days, but I'm fine now. I'm back and loyal to Edward. Actually, Kirsten W. & I started a fan club called the "Edwardians", & our motto is "WWBFALTEUHD(We Will Be Faithful And Loyal To Edward Until He Dies)". The motto actually makes sense, because since Edward is immortal, and he CAN'T die, then that means that the Edwardians are faithful and loyal to him FOREVER. ...Wow, that's a long time to be loyal. Oh well! So, I've chatted all about Twilight, so I won't talk about it anymore. So, it's Thanksgiving Break, & if my blog clock is still wrong, then it's 1 minute after midnight. Wow, I'm not even sleepy!!! I'm very happy about today because it is(or it was)Thanksgiving Eve! I love Thanksgiving, because it's a day where we can all celebrate for all that we're thankful for in our lives. besides, it also means......NO SCHOOL FOR 5 DAYS!!!! Woo-Hoo! Party, party, party!! But, sadly, I also sprained my ankle last Tuesday, and it got all puffy & swollen, because my ankle twisted all the way around(CURSE YOU, GYM CLASS!!!!!!). It was not a nice thing to look @, & I had to wear an ace bandage on it all the time, and prop it up even when I was asleep, and I couldn't go to swim practice, and I couldn't go to P.E.(SWEET!!!), either. But, now it's almost completely healed, not swollen anymore, and I could go back to Gym(phooey). But, when I went back to swim practice, as soon as I started swimming, it got puffy & swollen & horribly painful again! I had to sit out. :( It's confusing, cause I can run & I don't have to wear a bandage or anything now. Oh, I also wrote a song called "Lover's Sorrow"(which I'm turing into a boy/girl duet), but I'll post it up tomorrow. ...Ugh, I keep making typos(I just go back and erase them), & it's making me type really slow. 'Guess my thoughts are moving faster than my fingers!! LOL! Jk, writing on this blog all the time has actually made my typing better, I don;t make as much mistakes, and I type much faster. But, today was kinda boring, the only 2 times I got out of the house was to go to lunch @ Chick-Fil-A, & to go to dinner @ Texas Roadhouse. Today was also really lonely, because I couldn't go to  swim practice(ankle), & there wasn't any Mutual activities this week(due to Thanksgiving Break). But, 2 really funny things are that 1st, I saw my friend Taylor(he's a grade ahead of me @ school, & he's a deacon in my ward)@ the MAC(he's a Bronze 2, I'm a Silver 2). We passed each other like 4 times(cause I had to go put up my kickboard & stuff), & every time, he's like,"I know you!" & I'm like,"I know you, too!" It was really funny. & the 2nd thing was that when I was telling Dad about seeing Taylor @ practice, Dad was calling him "T-Webb". So, Dad started making up rapper names for different people in our ward. Here is the list: Langleigh Gomm: "Lil Gomm"(cause she's the youngest in her family). Kenyan Gomm: "K-Gomm". Taylor Webb: "T-Webb". Andrew Hogan: "Hogaland"(parody of Timbaland). & last, but certainly not least, Daniel Kasallis: "Puff Danny". It was soooo funny. Ok, well, it's now 12:25 a.m., so I should get some sleep. Good night! Happy Thanksgiving!
