birds down at the condos when we were throwing just a "little" bit of food while the parents were gone.

i took this picture when my parents went to lunch with the Udall parents. Us kids were bored and wanted something to do. So we got some bread and started throwing the bread off the balcony. There were only about 7 or 8 seagulls after about 2 minutes there were about 30 or more flying close to where we were. before we started throwing bread we had 3 loafs of bread. after we were done... we had none. then we ran to the pool as soon as my mom and dad walked into the condo. We knew that the secerity guys would come up to our room, so thats why we ran down stairs. We came up about 2 hours later and my mom said to me, "Makayla, were you guys throwing food over the balcony to the birds?" i said yes and asked why. she then said that the secerity came and told them that some kids were throwing food to the birds. MAN did we get in trouble. i never did tell mom how many loafs of bread we used. (sorry mom if you are reading this, i was gonna tell you but Haleigh wouldnt let me)hehe.

All Us Kids

ive decided to tell some things about my sisters and brother. this is Makayla again my mom is working around the house. we are re-doing the inside of that house like the two bath rooms and putting down tile all over.

jordan- she loves to play with Bret and they play all day long. mainly on the Star Wars lego game that my dad bought them last week. she likes to play with her friends and has a fun time with her. jordan and I often talk when i come into my room at night and we get in trouble....sometimes. She keeps me awake alot and never stops talking in a good way tho
Haleigh-loves to sing to Wicked. (she is really really good) we might sing one of the songs at one of our concerts later this year. she loves to hang out with her friends and draw in her room for HOURS. she likes to read...unlike me! i have to be forced to read at school and i dont get how she can just read and read. we see eachother at school and i guess you can say that we are best friends. some people say that we look exactly alike!
thats ME!(the blogger for the family) i love to be around my frineds at school and we laugh most of the time. i dont like reading as i mentioned earlier. i am always on the phone or talking on the internet. softball is comming up and i am going to play. i love to dive and cant wait till it starts in the summer!
and last but not least, Bret. He loves to play basket ball and had his first game today. he plays xbox constantly and loves his Lego Starwars that he got a couple of days ago. he likes to play with Jordan and his best friend Max, who has the same birthday as him. he loves his dog Winston. the boxer and lays on him while he watches t.v. (so cute!)

It's about time

over new years we headed down to mexico with the Udall's and went to their condo. i must say it was very fun for us as a family. This is Makayla laying down on her quad when we went into a little town and got soda's. She was a very crazy driver and i did NOT want to ride on the back of the quad while she was driving. All the kids wanted to quad all the time. our legs got sore but over all it was a blast.
Looking at the sun set every evening always made me wish that I could see this everyday. this picture was taken on New Years Eve

Bret's favorite thing to do when we went quading was to go to the Little town and get sodas. He was constantly asking to go there. That same little town was where grandma Dorothy's dad would take her there when she was little. they had a little house there and went there often. the name of the town is called Cholla Bay. (i bet it has changed a lot since grandma was there)

A funny thing that happend to us while the kids were waiting for us to come out of the store was... 3 little dirty Mexican kids on a golf-cart drove down the dirt road, stopped for a second and said "Man they are ugly!" Makayla of coarse had a comeback and she said to them, "ohh you think we are ugly? have you looked at yourself latley?" They heard that and kept going down the street.






p.s Makayla wrote this whole thing because my mom didnt want to do it.
