This is me doing the limbo at The Taste of Bloomington. I "broke" my leg because I spread my legs to far apart. I didn't make it through anytime before either :0) Carlie over there, -> was becoming a mime. We had I guess you could call it fun time. I'm keeping Carlie cute. (but not keeping her in line. I let her have a pencil and she drew on the tile. Oops! ;0 I have 7 more blogs to do, so I better get going. Bye! -Hallie
Limbo & Carlie

Our first bike riding with Zack's new bike, our new trailer, and our first time on the trail that we went on. I'm pretty sure Carlie and Brock liked the ride, but afterward, Carlie wanted to get out of there!!!
We almost got to go to dairy Queen, but dad called mom and she said that it was time for supper so we had to go home. Dad said we could probably go back and get something, but we never got to. Well Zack didn't keep thet bike for long, 'cause it didn't have gears, so it was hard to ride on bumpy roads, and it was to small, so we got a new one for him with gears. But of course, my bike does not have any problems. So, it was fine the whole time.

Sorry about not writing in about a month. I've been "busy"...today I will have a lot of blogs published, so be ready.

See you for now. Hallie

A few days ago, (the 20th) It was a sleepy day, and we had balloons, a pump, and a book about how to make balloon animals, so I decided to make some. It took me a while
to get air into the balloon, but I did it and I made 1 for mom and 1 for dad ( <- this one was for mom). I tried to make an orange basset hound for dad, but it popped when I tried to put the head into the ears to make loopy ears. I made a mouse and another thing for him too. I also made a moose and a giraffe
for myself. When mom saw the balloon she had to take a picture of me holding it, and Carlie just can't miss out on a glamour shot like this to become famous, so she had to join in. She came over to were I was standing and squatted
down and since I'm taller than her, I squatted down too, then Carlie sat down since I was lowering, and I just had to kneel. Today we went to church and (from the reading program) I got this cool thing that I don't know what it's called. Zack stayed for 2nd service so he could stay with Sung-Hoon and Hung-Hoon (Brock's language). They're coming over to eat lunch with us and then they have to go to a libary program. I don't know what we're doing today, but it's probably going to be fun...we're going to watch Two Brothers (possibly) but I'm sure the day will be fun. I'm almost positive I'm going to write another blog, but with a different picture. Love you...Bye!!!!!

Well, we had to go to bed early because we were going to Holiday World and Splashin` Safari! We got up at 7:27 and got ready to go (We all had packed the day before). Dad drove and it took us 2 hours and 12 minutes. The day before that, at our s.cool ( it stands for so cool school ;) we had a silent auction, (with our pretend money) and I got a am/FM radio! Holiday Word was awesome! They had this HUMONGOUS roller coaster that went like, at least 1 hundred feet up maybe taller, and then it dropped almost straight down! I didn't go on it but I could see it looping up and down and then disappearing into the woods. (We were going to ride (just me and dad, Zack was too scared)but the line would have to wait like an hour! We did get to go on the Legend, though. It was sweet, (Napoleon Dynamite)but afterwards I had a headache after both times (We went 2 times 1 with dad and 1 with mom). It also went through Splashin` Safari. We also went on a swinging thing and octopus type thing.

After the coasters, we changed and went to Splashin` Safari (they are right by each other) and had an awesome time there, but most of the water was cold. The rides we went on there were a rug race, 3 small tubes, a roller coaster that you slide up and down on a tube, and a big slide that Zack, Brock, Daddy, and I could go on. After that closed, we went back to Holiday World and I got a bell with Holiday World on it, Zack got a snow globe with Holidog in it, and Brock got a toy gun. We had a supercalifragilisticespialadoshish time. Luv ya! Bye.

Well, I heard that Uncle Rick (I'm not sure) didn't give my Grandma a to long of a break! Anybody demand that she comes up here 5 days to a week because we love her and want to see her (or not he he he ;)). Beside that, we are doing fine here (and it's still boring) (can't wait `till SUMMER!!!!!) O.K.. Maybe it's not boring here, but only 1 (that's one, uno, and "Yo! 1 more stinkin` day of school! That's so Rad!) I repeat 1, more day of school! Let me hear you say, "Schools Out! Let's shout! School's a bummer, but not summer!" oh yeah baby! Well, see you tomorrow! (hopefully) Love Ya! Bye.

Wait! When I said, "Zack went to his baseball game and beat the best team!" What I meant was that Zack went to his baseball game, and yesterday his team beat the best team! Sorry about that. Love ya! Bye.

Well, can someone please tell Uncle Rick that my Grandma Estes needs a few weeks off so that she can come up here for the summer! Please! I told her that I would put that on here and I want her to come up here, today I just did nothing. It was a boring day. It's going to get exciting when my dad comes home though. Yesterday, dad PLEASE don't read this, we made a fireplace, we got sand for our sand box, and we made a swing. The fireplace is a secret from dad. Zack went to his baseball game and yesterday beat the best team! I love you all SO much! I'll (hopefully) send a blog tomorrow! Bye.

Hello. Today was a wonderful day. Why? I'll tell you. Today at school I couldn't wait until I got out of school because I wanted it to be Thursday so I could go to martial arts class. Then, after school, mom told us that we would go to dads' office and then go to the library. I was exited because we haven't been to the library in a while. We got to dads' office and he said that he needed a few more minutes to finish an article. So we watched a little bit of Happy Gilmore. (I just want to say it had a lot of, "You!! Beep Beep Beep" in that movie) We went to the library after that, and I got some CD's of books and some books. While we were going to our house, Dad said that, "You are going to watch The 2 hour finale of Amazing Race with Kim and Matt (our freinds) so I was happy then too. So They just got here (Kim and Matt), so we will start watching it in a few minutes. I luv you SO much,
Hallie

Okay, first of all, unless any boy likes seeing a girl almost through a whole movie, then I think that a boy wouldn't like seeing Akeelah and the Bee that much. Well, I'm going to do Neopets.com for a while afterwards. Also, only Mom and I went to Akeela and the Bee. We just did Teakwondo (I think that's how you spell it). While I was watching a video (The next karate kid) yesterday, Snoopy fell asleep in my lap!

Dad picked me up from school, we went home and I played Zack a game of badmitten but we stopped because it was windy. I got a snack (vanilla ice cream) then we went to Teakwondo. Zack is still at the Y but I'm at home, of course doing the blog instead. Brock is about to go to Teakwondo too and Mom just went somewhere that I don't know of. Carlie is being a rat of course.

Tomorrow we are having auditions for our talent show. With a group, I am doing a miniature fear factor. By myself I'm doing a piano recital with two songs. I might not get in though because they judge you at the auditions. I'll try and keep you updated with information from the day.

That's all I have to say today...Love ya...

Brock says...I ate ice cream at the mall and I ate chicken and I ate french fries and then I got sprite and then I have to say that mom is coming back in a little bit and snoopy is a good dog and thank you that our puter is on now and then it turned off and then I was watching TV and I was watching american dragon and that's all i have to say...I love you and that's all i have to say...

I am SO sorry I haven't done my blog in, like a week! Aunt Liz suggested that I talk about the movie that I went to last Saturday. So I will. It was SO cool!!! Akeelah is on the right of this picture. Anyway, Akeela doesn't like being a pefect speller because everyone is mean to her. Actually, I shouldn't tell you any of the story because you should see it! (And I don't want to type all of the story because I sometimes go into really deep detail of anything I see and you haven't) We just had pizza from Dominoes. I don't know what to say next. Well, I'll just tell 'ya I luv you!!! Bye.

This is a picture of me wearing my glasses!! If you can't see it, the color of the glasses are purple. There are tiny flowers on them. Anyway, I thought I would get them next Wednesday!! On Wednesday, I got my eyes checked, and they said I would have to get glasses. On Friday, I only told one person in my class so it would be a surprise to everybody. I was going to wait to tell you all of this on the day I got my glasses, ( I thought I would get them on Wednesday) but I got them yesterday!! I don't really know what to say next, oh well. See you tomorrow!!!

Like I said, I might need glasses, but I'll tell you more about it next week for my own mysterious reason. (ha, ha, ha, ha ;-)) Well, today is just normal! Yesterday was our 2nd Martial Arts class and we leaned some punches and a kick. Today Zack had a baseball game and he hit the ball and he got to 2nd base!! Their team lost: 14 to 10. But that's not bad. I think I chipped a tiny tiny piece of my tooth!! Snoopy jumped on me, (I said for him to) his head went down, I put my head next to his, he put his head up, (really fast) I didn't put my head up in time, and he hit my mouth!! I'm alright. That's all I had to say this week!! Bye.

This is a picture of all of us at Zacks basball game/pictureday. Zack said he had a lot of fun playing at his baseball game, (even though, each time he bated, he struck out :-0! ) His team won 10 to 4 (that's cool!) To your right, this is me running the bases, (so fast to!) Just to change the subject, I am doing tie-kwon-do martial arts. I have to take an eye exam because I can't see that far away, and I can't really see small letters, so I might need glasses! (!!!!!!!) Well, dads at Utah still, and we just got back from school. And Aunt Liz, I don't think Brock will remember (and listen) to do "karate chops"!!!! And everybody, I don't have a "suit" right now, but we probably don't get them for a few weeks. That's all I had to say today! Bye 'till tomorrow!

As you probably found out (by looking at these pictures) this is our dog. Isn't he soooooo cute?!?! I luv him soooo much!!!!!! Well, you probably want to know more about him. Weelll, let me start at the begining. Daddy saw an ad for him in the newspaper, and he looked good, so my mom said we could check him out. And we were reaalllyyy excited! (you probably don't think it is too great that mom said we could check him out, but it isn't often that we can see a dog) we check him out, and mom said we could keep him! We brought him home, and he is still with us after 2 weeks (unlike Casey). I don't see how he's gone this far without him barking at Brock for choking him for at least 30 seconds (look in the top picture). We all luv him soo much (except somtimes (almost every second) mom calls him "dumb dog" for getting in her way). Well, if you come to visit us Snoopy will bark at you when you are first here, but he will stop and love you after the first day. Oh yeah, we started martial arts today! Zack and I go at 4:00-4:45, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Brock, (can you belive it) goes at 6:00 or somthing like that same days. That's all I had to say today! Luv ya!!!!

Yesterday, (today is Monday) guess what... can you guess... it was exciting!!! I... got... BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!! I did it at the end of the first service (there are 3 services). With me were 2 of my friends, about the same age as me. They went first, and our paster said, ( when he got in) "We never know if the tank will be hot or cold, and this week it's cold." When he baptized me, it was cold! So I was shivering a lot. I feel great that I got to be baptized and I wanted to share that (this post) to you. Well! see you towmarrow! (I know I spelled "towmarrow" wrong) Oh yeah, Carlie is being a rat as usual, Daddy, and Zack are playing X-Box Basketball and Brock is watching them, and Mom just left for the gas station. Luv Ya!! See Ya!!

One more thing for today. Zack, Patrick, Miranda, Brock, and Carlie are being crazy upstairs playing some game and making a fort. I'm going to go upstairs and see what they are doing, and then go and do stuff in my room. that's all I had to say!
Bye!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody! This is my first blog! I hope everyone enjoys it! Today Patrick came to shool with me, and we had fun. I played on Neopets.com kind of with Jessie. If you are wondering why I am changing things, it is only because I want to. Since the Acre family is with us we are having a lot of fun. (not that you are not it is just because I wanted to say that). Well, that's all I have to say! I will talk to you tomorrow! Love ya,
Hallie
