Corpus Christi

So Jess and i are in Corpus Christi for my Law competition. i got a lot of looks when i got on the bus with her, what is funny is that i have taken a doll on all my law trips and some of my friends have never seen any of them. My advisor actually took her from my seat when we got off and ate lunch Wednesday and would not give her to me for awhile but it funny cause the only thing left in my seat was one of her shoes. we leave for home tomorrow night and i dont want to leave cause i am having fun because my team has already done one of the competitions that i am in and then i am about to leave with my other team for competition and today i have been campaigning because i am running for State Officer and i have passed it through the written test, interview, and speech so now all the delegates get to vote and the winners will be announced tomorrow night at closing ceremonies.

Dolls in Pictures

so when i was taking pictures i realized which of my dolls look best in pictures. my favorites in pictures are Lanie, Nicki, and Sanoli. They look good no matter where i posed them. some others looked more funny like Nellie and Molly.

Snow and souvenirs


I just finish downloading the pictures from the trip on the main house computer (because my lap top does not have the software for the camera) and when i got up to my room i saw that snow had collected on my windowsill so i went back down stairs to look at the back yard and it is covered in snow! so i ran up stairs and grabbed Kailey and Jess and put them in the only two winter close i still have out and took them outside to take a picture of them. Kailey's legs are lose so she cant stand up that great by herself so the pictures are of them sitting down.

On the trip i got this snow globe. it does not say Galveston on it but i will remember where i got it.

At the Zoo i got this little bean bag elephant for Kailey's souvenir from the trip.

i also got a lot of sea shells and sand so that i can make a craft for my dolls with it and use the shells and sand in some of their summer scenes.

Vacation in Galveston!

So Kailey and i just got back from a mini vacation to Galveston for my sisters 13th birthday! we brought with us Me, my 2 sisters, 2 friends (each sister brought one friend), 2 other little girls and my mom. we left Friday morning at 9 am and we got back tonight at 9:30 pm. Our hotel was in Texas City (about 10 minutes from Galveston and 30 minutes from Houston).

Day 1 (Thursday)
-We left at about 9 am for the road, when we got to Houston we ate at Chili's which was at about 3:30pm. They we headed for our hotel. when we got there the rooms were not ready so we went to Wal Mart to get some flip flops and a brace for my arm since i hurt it (it would not be a vacation with out me hurting something). then we went back to the hotel and changed into our swim suits and headed to the beach, 5:15 pm. When we got to the beach it was chilly, so i was glad i had my sweater. the other girls went swiming in the beach while i just collected seashells and took pictures. i brought Kailey to the beach and got a few pictures of her. After about 45 minutes we left and we drove around Galveston looking at the beach and seeing ow things have changed since hurican Ike. Then we went to Wendy's and got Frostys and then headed to the hotel. Once we got to the hotel we went swimming and sat in the hot tub. Afterwards we took showers and got ready for bed and watched Did You Hear About the Morgan?. i also did some of my homework before going to bed at 12:05am.Day 2 (Friday)
-I woke up at 8:45 am and went down to the lobby and got some breakfast. then brought it up to the room so that i could straighten my hair and get ready. we left the hotel at about 10:30 am and headed to the Houston Zoo. it took us 45 minutes to find a place to park, it was so crowded, 1pm! we thought that since we had a Dallas Zoo membership that we would get in free but we had to pay 1/2 of the price which was still expensive for 8 people. we first went to the childrens area and looked at some of the animals then we went to get some lunch. For Lunch i got a hamburger which was $4.25! After lunch we went to see the lions and all the other animals. we went to the gift shop and i got a Elephant for Kailey that is colorful. (I brought Kailey to the Zoo) Then my mom told the girls that we were leaving just to make them happy but what she did not tell them is that we were going the long way that we had not seen to get back to the entrance. we left at about 5:30 pm and headed to the beach. We walked around the beach and then went to the rain forest cafe to eat but when we got there the wait was three hours so that would put us at sitting down at 10 or 11pm. so instead we went to a gift shop and got gifts for ourselves and for our friends and family. i got a snow globe for me and a necklace for my best friend. then we went to Wendy's and got dinner and Little Cesar's, then headed to the hotel. when we got to the hotel we got in out swim suits and headed for the pool. at 11pm we went up to the room and got ready for bed. after my shower i tried to stay up and watch Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen but i was so tired that i fell asleep.
Day 3 (Saturday, Today)
-I woke up right as my mom was leaving to go to the lobby and get breakfast so i told her to get me some and bring it up. i got up and started to pack before everyone got done with breakfast. then i did my hair and got Kailey dressed for the day. we left the hotel after loading it up with all of our stuff at 10:30 am and headed to the beach. we played on the beach for an hour and then went to rain forest cafe to eat lunch. it was a lot of fun. i got a burger and fries. When we left it started raining and got colder. We went back to the beach and took a few more pictures on some rocks and then went to two more gift shops before leaving to go home. i got some cute pictures of Kailey and sandy on the rocks with the beach in the back. we got home at about 9:30 pm and what was funny is that this morning we were at the beach playing in the water and got home and it was SNOWING! it is the first day of Spring and it snowed!
We had a lot of fun on the trip! i am really happy because i only go to school for 2 days this week then i get to go to corpus for a contest! so i am off to the beach on Wednesday and i am thinking about bringing Jess with me this time.

Jane Kurtz








Today American Girl Boutique and Bistro welcomed Jane Kurtz! she did an autograph session for the girls. it was very exciting to meet her and have her sign my book and Lanie's journal. the only down fall is that American Girl was out of Lanie's 2nd book so i could not buy it and for the past week i have been calling all the half price books around my area but no one has Saba: under the hyenas foot which is a Girls of Many Lands book of American Girl that they used to sell, so the only possibility of getting the book would be use and no one had it.
