Stay-cation in Salt Lake City

       This was a vacation in Salt Lake City. It was really fun and we did it for Don and my dads birthday.
       We went ice skating and I did awesome, not to brag. We stayed at the Marriott hotel and the ice skating rink was right behind it. After that everybody was hungry so we went to Hires and it was really good. Then we went to Temple Square and looked at the lights. As you can tell I'm a pretty good photographer when it comes to temples(:
       The day after that we went to the pool inside the hotel and swam for about and hour and thirty minutes. Then we went to The Grand America where they had windows with all kinds of decorations. It was really cool. So the picture of Eli and the Grinch was a display I really liked. The Grinch would pop out of the fireplace really slowly and it was really cool and as you can tell Eli thought so too.

St. George, Beauty and the Beast

       I was the only boy on this trip because they had and extra ticket. It was really fun and if you can see this is when my mom made me get a haircut and the hair lady shaved my head:/ It was a neat experience. Anyway, this trip only lasted 2 days and 1 night, which really sucked but we made the most out of it. We went swimming as you can see in the first picture. And we went to chuck a rama. Then we saw Beauty and the Beast which was a really cool play, and was at Tuachuan. I couldn't get any pictures of the play but it was amazing! They had great effects and the actors were great. I want to go back again.

Christmas Helping

       This was a really fun day. I used one of my sick days because I had a sore throat. And all I needed was some sleep. And the day before that I got checked out which was really fun. In these pictures it shows you just a little of what I did, I decorated the whole main floor with help by my mom and Eli. My mom wanted a picture of me decorating so I hung that picture up there twice:) I sure do love the way we decorate. We have miss matched stalkings and a lot of little Christmas decorations. It sure doesn't feel like Christmas until you see our house. Oh ya, on our exterior we have Christmas lights on the roof and on our trees, and me and Ava have little Christmas trees in our room windows. It sure is probably my favorite Christmas decorations on the outside.            

This little picture is of little Eli with his stalking. He loves he little ginger bread man and his stalking. I sure do love him.

(As you can he's a little stink)

My Big Brother Elder Ethan Daniel Ralph

       My big brother is on his mission in Gilbet, AZ. It sure has been different without him in Utah. But he's doing great things! But guess what, he's been out on his mission for three months. It sure is going by fast.
       My cousin Brittany Pace, but soon to be married, is coming home today! It seems like she had just been put out!

My 11th Birthday

This was a really long time ago when I was 11 and now I'm 13! This was a really fun birthday, as you can see in the picture;) I sure do love this little stink and I can't believe time has gone by So fast! Anyway, just wanted to tell you I'm still alive and still doing my blog.

Last Year At Lakeview

              This was my last year at Lakeview. I sure did love that school. But I hated the uniforms. I sure am loving my new school though. Willow Creek. I've made 7 new friends in the first two months! I sure am loving how crowded it is. I know weird. And I like some of the teachers. But I do miss my drama teacher Mrs. Howell.

Salt Lake Temple Lights

       This is definitely the neatest experience at Christmas time because Christmas is about the savior. I love it and definitely want to go when I'm older with my kids. Make sure to do that future Jake, if you're reading this;)

Eagle

       I sure was inspired by my big brother who is now serving a full time mission in Gilbert Arizona.
       When he got his eagle I couldn't believe how time went by that fast! But this was so cool to have my brother getting his eagle

Can't Stop Jumpin'

       This little guy sure does love Jump on It. But can you believe it, Jump on It closed. He sure does love that place and now his favorite place on Earth is closed. When ever we drive by it he always says, "I want to jump" It's so sad.

California Family Vacation

 This was the best place on EARTH! So much fun going on Disneyland rides and California Adventure Park rides. My Favorite ride at Disneyland is Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Bear Rapids, and Matterhorn. I love walking the streets of Disneyland at night because they would do fireworks and it was so pretty watching all of the shops light up with their different colors of light. There was a parade going on as soon as we entered. Autumn got to meet Miss Poppins, and so did Ava. Definitely a place you will never forget.
       When we went to California Adventure park I went immediately towards Tower of Terror. I went on that ride like 4 times! We couldn't go on the Cars ride because it was a 2 hour wait! Eli was really disappointed. It was still the best time of my life. I hope we can go to California again soon:)

I loved seeing all of my favorite Disney characters like Pluto, Donald, Mickey and my Favorite Goofy:)

 Seal Beach was the beach we went to and it was so nice I didn't want to leave. But we had to:( I wish we could have stayed longer than 3 days at California because it would have been nice to see my old friend Ashlyn who moved to California. I also wanted to see the Hollywood sign.
       Anyway were getting off topic. Seal beach was cold in the morning but then it started heating up. There was a really funny story. So my mom and my aunt Rachel were both taken under water and I think they pulled Autumn down with one of them. I forgot who. But it was so much fun.

Christmas PT2

Christmas Time is the BEST Time

 

This cute little picture of Eli and Santa is when we went to the store and Eli just had to sit on Santa's lap:) He sure was happy about meeting Santa at the store.

This picture of our Christmas tree was the best! We love to listen to Christmas music while decorating the Christmas tree. It doesn't feel like Christmas until you have a Christmas tree up with all your favorite ornaments.

This is the time we went on Santa's Train Ride. It sure was fun. Ava and Autumn sang a Christmas song on the train, which was really cool. Santa came to our cart and gave us candy canes. Some of us sat on Santa's lap, and told him what we wanted for Christmas. We were in the mountains so the views were amazing! It really felt like the Polar Express.
They had a warm toasty fire on the train and me and Hunter stood there for about 20 min. trying to get warm. It was a really neat experience. Totally would do it again if I could;)
