I went to my first quiz bowl ever and had fun. My group was full of rare and unusually named girls: Maria, Marie, Marie and Marissa. (ha, ha.) Marie McLaughlin was our captain and she was a good one. I was surprised how many questions I answered. There was a question about the name of the feathers that keep birds warm. And I answered downy feathers! And that was correct. Marie McLaughlin said that she knew I would know that one. We got third out of 14 teams!! I was so surprised.
I bought a new camera yesterday, and it is hot pink. It is very exciting for me to have a camera. This morning I was practicing taking pictures and videos all over the house. Now I won’t have to use my dad’s camera. My camera has so many buttons and gadgets. And now they will be my pictures.
These are my new shoes that I got last weekend. We literally went in to six or seven stores and these are the best we found. I am not complaining about the shoes, but I was hoping for something a little more fancy. The shoes were either too fancy, too high healed, too big, too small, or not comfy enough. And that is only half of it. I can’t believe my size of shoes. I have the biggest girl feet in the family. I wear a size eight shoes. These are so comfortable.
This is Daniel and I next to “Woody” in Minneapolis at the lego store. Notice that Daniel is upset. He is upset because he could not have the lego “Mater” that John so helpfully brought over for Daniel. I tried as hard as I could to get his attention on something else. I asked Daniel if he would like a picture taken with a lego woody figure. But he did not want a picture with “Woody”, he wanted “Buzz”. And alas, it did not work, until I said “Daniel, what color is this?” And he said, “Red.” We did the color thing until the rest of us were all done. Thats all.
Mom and I made meatballs the other night, and to make sure they cooked evenly, we had to weigh each and every one, they must weigh 1.5 oz. And sometimes one of us would say something like, “this one will be on the button, or too light,” or visa versa. But once I said, “Mom, how much do you think this will weigh?” Then mom said, ” 2.3 oz” And what does it weigh? 2.3oz!!!!!!!!!!! I could just not get over it! The meat balls were very good. We ate them right after they were done, so I don’t have any pictures.
I also made coleslaw that night but I made one major booboo. I added balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar! I thought it would be terrible, but no, it tasted great. I hope we use it again.

Dad has set up my blog. I can not wait to get started.
My sister Sarah thought of my blog name so I can’t get all the credit. I had a few names on the list but none of them had a ring to it, so I asked Sarah for help. Then she asked me a few questions about myself. Then it happened, ohhh! I loved the sound of it…. Glitter and Glitz, it was wonderful.
I was reading Sarah’s first blog post when I noticed that I am almost younger then Landon and Sarah when they got their blog. Sarah was 13 and Landon was 12. SHOOT! He got it first, but not by much!
Now a little about myself :My favorite color is blue and I love cats, horses, jewelry, phone calls, getting mail, ballet, pre point, shopping, painting, having friends over, surprising my brothers and sister, drinking coffee, accessories, bowling, and of course maybe blogging.
Well that is my first blog post.
P.S. I will try to be a good blogger.
