Lots of New!!!

Hello everyone! And welcome back! As you can see, I've changed the title to my family's blog. The website is still the same abbyishness, cuz I couldn't change that.

Lots of things have been changing in the technologic world of the King household, we got rid of our cable and got Netflix instead. I have to admit, I wasn't looking forward to losing my Disney Channel (the final Hannah Montana Forever season was going on at the time) but now I see that Netflix has practically everything. But let's not let me go off as free advertisement for Netflix. :)

We also got two Blue Ray players, which are NICE! Yet to have a movie on Blue Ray yet, but we have used it for DVDs and netflix.

But the absolute best thing that has changed technologically, is our FAST INTERNET! I can easily multi function through multiple pages of quicj internet. Uploading photos is a breeze, watching Youtube and we don't have to wait for the stupid red bar to load. and NO BUFFERING! :D Along with this, I WILL be posting heck of a lot more often on here, with pictures :)

But on a different note, the past few months have been busy, busy busy. My family went up to Yellowstone National Park in October, it was FREEZING cold. Blizzard like weather, but we had fun all the same. Halloween came and went, this is the first year I didn't go trick or treating. sad day. I'm getting old.

In November, I turned 16. I got my driver's License but heh... I'm not the most confident driver outside of Eagle Mountain. For my party, I took some family and friends to see Harry Potter 6 in theatres, and had a party the evening afterwards. Needless to say, my house was very cramped that night! I had like 25 friends here.

We are getting ready for Christmas 2010, and it's been a blast. So excited for family time, and present giving and recieving :) Here's some pics of the past few months:

I wrote the paragraphs first and this thing won't let me copy and paste, so I'm doing the rest of the pictures in another post. sorry for the jumping around! (look above)

Summer, and the Begining of School

heya! well The King's have been very busy this summer and beginning of school year. Summer was long and fun. The beginning of school was good for us to have something to do, but now that we are back in and teh weather is getting worse, I'm sad that summer is gone.

I tried to upload some great pictures, and tehrefore put stories with the pics, but My computer is so slow... ugh

well I tried twice. So I think I give up :)

I'll try later see ya!

Some pics & a Video

More pic are on the way! My computer is SLOW to load them. This took me all afternoon!

Long Time, No Posts!

Hey! Sorry It's been forever; we have all been very busy. Not to mention we actually have a camera now, and I have finally learned how to work it (sorta) at least to the point where I can put the pictures onto the computer :D

So... where to begin? We went to California for ten days over Spring break. We loved playing in the ocean and collecting seashells, though we wish the weather wouldn't have been so windy. We spent two nights in Las Vegas on our way To and From California; our condos are such a blessing to have! We stayed in a few different condos, enjoying the different scenery in each. Sea World was loads of fun: A zoo AND amusement park in one! We especially liked the Flamingos and Manta Rays. We could pet them!!! Now we all want a pet Manta Ray... haha

Disneyland and California Adventures were a joy also, well the parts where we were riding the rides or eating food! The lines were a different story... (A big round of applaus to Lagoon! Their lines are NEVER three hour long waits! I sure am grateful for that now haha) There was also a new mall-type area called The Garden Walk. I love malls, and pretty plants. So the Garden Walk was very enjoyable for me especially. Look it up, if you want to! ;)

though we were a little bit sad to come back to school after ten long days of freedom, we were glad to be home. Us three kids finished out the school year with good grades. We all miss seeing our friends 5 days a week, but we are LOVING this hot, summer weather. (And no homework!)

School got out in May, and we enjoyed our first few weeks of summer at Lagoon, where we bought season passes. We also prepared for our piano recital, which took place on the 12th of June. We forgot the camera, so no pictures there.

Since then, we have been sun tanning, running through sprinklers, helping our cousins move into their new house, and just relaxing. :) Not to mention My mom, Brother, Sister and I's addiction to watching the TV show Angel.

Pictures coming soon!

February

Whoa long time no see! Lots has happened in the last month.

Mom- she made lots of cookies to give out for valentines day. She also whipped up a whole bunch of candy for the CHD Awareness Fundraiser. Lots of it was eaten, but there was still plenty of leftovers! I think we'll have our gallon size bag of caremels for another few months, not to mention all the fudge!

Dad- has started working more regular hours. He no longer works over-night shifts, which is a big relief on the whole family. We always worried about him on his drives back home in the morning, lots of the timehe would have to pull over and take a nap so as to not fall asleep at the wheel. Mom likes having him home during the nights too and now he's able to see us kids off to school in the morning.

Me- School school school. With all my honors and AP classes it's all I really get to do at this time. For Valentine's day my mom got the kids a new outfit. I picked out a bright summer dress. It's my latest obsession, well not so much the dress, but the warmth I'm hoping to feel so that I can actually WEAR the dress without freezing to death. I'm done with winter, and ready for some sunshine!!! Can I have some bikini weather please?!? :)

Oh and along with school, I have been on the track team for two months now. I had my first meet a few weeks ago. I was coming in first place, until my shoelace came untied and I tripped... haha what a very Abby-ish thing to do! So I ended up coming in 4th place. But I'm cool with that! I'll de better next time! This is Eric and I posing at our meet!

I also took up coming to Early Morning Seminary. It's hard to be awake so early, but I'm doing it anyway. I arrive at school at 6:20 and usually get home at 3:45 every weekday, 10 hours and 25 minutes at school = WAY TOO MUCH!!!

Just another pic of my WITH NO BRACES!!! :) :D

Britta- had a little run in at the ER last sunday. She choked and got some food stuck down her esophagus. She was all ready for surgery to remove it (IV in her arm and everything) when last minute she coughs it up! It was gross but overall she was glad to not have to go through with surgery.
Also, Britta has had two ever returning in grown toenails. Today she had surgery on both of her big toes as to stop these from returning yet again. It's a 90% possibility that they won't come back.

Carson- turned 10 on February 21st. He just had small family parties. We think his favorite gift was some yarn and a "Learn-To-Knit" kit from my Nana & Papa. In school, he previously learned how to "finger knit" from his teacher. He is very happy to be able to make hats and socks now.

Well today us kids have been watching all of our Barbie movies. I gotta say, I LOVE those movies!!! Along with High School Musical also. I just love little kid movies, I wish when I was younger these movies had been out! Oh well, I can enjoy them now! :)

NO MORE BRACES!!!! :) HALLELUIA!!!

Braces Before:



Braces After!

A BUNCH to post!

Well we had a great Holiday Break. Christmas Eve came, and my Daddy had to work a night shift. So we woke up early, and instead of openingup OUR presents, we drove up to my Nana's and Papa's to watch them, Nichole, Garrett, Kolten, and Toddy open theirs. When my dad came home aroun 8:15 we returned to our house and opened our presents. From Santa, I got the purple 8 gb iPod nano (with video and FM Radio!) that I've been eyeing ever since my old iPod got stolen. Santa gave Britta a professional snowboard, with boots and all. Carson got a BMX bike so he can play on all the jumps he's made since we've mobed here. My Dad got some lamps from Santa. I don't really know why he asked for lamps, but whatever floats his boat. My mom got lots of fun new clothes, including skinny jeans!!! Yay for my mom!

We went to both side of the familys for Christmas Lunch and Dinner. Yummy food and time to play in the snow. (Though I didn't do much of that... bleh)

The Hackings came sledding with us at the Amphitheatre on Saturday, the day after Christmas. :)

We also went out to see Alvin and The Chipmonks. That was a way cute movie, with lots of good music. We all have our favorite chipmonks, I love the nerdy one (Simon). Brit loves the Fat one (Theodore) And Carsey loves Alvin.

The rest of my family went to my Aunt Liz's to celebrate the New Year, while I hung out at Darren's house and watched movies with his family. At nighttime Dare and I went to our Friend Julie's house to play games until midnight. We were supposed to eat breakfast at like one in the morning, but I fell asleep. haha.

Umm we had to go back to school on Monday, and I have to admit it was hard to wake up so early again!!! It was the last week of term though, so we will have new classes when we go back on Monday.

Yesterday our little family went to see AVATAR. Originally we thought it looked really dumb, because us kids thought it was Avatar The Last Airbender that was coming out so soon, but really that movie doesn't come out til summertime. Bummer. But anyways, the AVATAR movie was surprisingly really good! :) We all enjoyed it, and if you havn't seen it yet we definitely recomend you seeing it. Also our Van wouldn't start when we exited the movie theatre, even after asking someone to jump start it. SO we had to call Tripple AAA and get it towed back to our house. Man, I am thankful for Tripple A! We have used them multiple times!

And that is pretty much all! Sorry, no pictures. We got a new camera, but havn't spent the time t ofigure out how to put all teh picturs onto the computer. When we do, I'll put up the pictures. Hope everyone had good holidays too! :) Love, The Kings
