Life from a Beanbag

  Hi again! How's your December weekend going? Ours is pretty busy. Yesterday we had our Cookie Baking Day... Grammie came over yesterday morning at about 10:00am for Cookie Bake Day! Mom, Ella, Lily, Hattie, and I all worked a lot on a BUNCH of cookies. We made rolo turtles, peanut butter blossoms, lefsa, krumkake, biscotti, buckeyes, almond joys, butterfinger bars, and maybe more, I don't know. Can't wait until we can eat all of them at Christmas! Then later after supper we watched the Grinch. The other thing that makes this weekend busy is Christmas on Dad's side! It's tomorrow at Nana's house. Actually, it's also Thanksgiving, too. That's all for now. I'll try to post tomorrow, but I'm busy since you know, I have a Christmas celebration tomorrow. 😉 See ya later!

Ok, it isn't OFFICIALLY winter yet, but it looks like it outside to me! Snow came down a couple days ago, and now it actually looks like December outside.  Right now it's just Dad, Hattie, and I at the house. Mom, Ella, and Lily are at a Corrie Ten Boom play and Ben is at work. Dad is watching football right now, Hattie has Luna on her lap, and I'm typing here. Not a lot of stuff has happened here tonight. I did some watercoloring and lettering earlier and made some Christmas cards, and I just finished making a smoothie for Hattie and me a little bit ago. So...that's it then! I'm getting excited for Nana's Christmas on the 19, only 10 days. See ya tomorrow!

  So....now it's almost 6:00 and we're thinking about supper. Leaving on where I left us with Part 1, after I got changed Dad, Ben, Hattie, and I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for a while. I also crocheted for little bit while we watched, too.  Lunch was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S, by the way. We had turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy, hasselback potatoes, green bean casserole, brussels sprouts, and maybe more, I can't remember. And before lunch , Ella, Hattie, Lily, and I put on nice clothes and Ella did makeup on all of us.  A little after lunch we had pie, too. The gluten-eating people (Dad, Ella, Ben, me, and Lily) had french silk pie (at least I think that's what it was) and the gluten-free people (Mom and Hattie) had chocolate pie. Then after we had lunch and pie, we hung around for a little bit and watched Free Birds. Well, Mom, Dad, Ella, Lily, and Hattie watched it while I played games on the tablet.  That's all for now! I'll post Part 3 again later...

  Here I am again! For lunch some of our friends brought pork roast, squash, and veggies and Grammie brought over yummy soup and blueberry muffins. Mom, Dad, Hattie, Lily, and I just got finished watching a movie, but before that I did some of history and helped Ella set up her Christmas decorations in her room.  This is kind of random, but I came across this picture of Loki and she looks so cute! She looks so adorable, just sitting there like she's a book.  Gotta go now. I'll hopelessly try  (just kidding) try to post tomorrow!

  Hey again! I'm sooo glad it's the weekend. No school for two days! Sorry the title is kind of confusing. I was just thinking about how much cream cheese wontons sound good right now. Too bad I can't have dairy (most of the time 😊 ). Not everyone is awake yet. I only know for sure that Mom, Dad, Loki, and I are awake. And that Hattie and Luna and sleeping. I know that Hattie is still sleeping because...1. She sleeps in a lot (so do I). And 2. I slept in her room again. Tonight marked the seventh night I've slept in there.  Guessss what? Now Thanksgiving is only in twelve days! Can't wait for five days of fall break to start. This year it's Nana and Paul's Thanksgiving, which is just where they have it on the actually day of Thanksgiving. It goes back and forth from Grammie and Papa's house to Nana and Paul's house. I can't wait to see them again! And have yummy food too... It frosted a little bit today. The roofs of houses got a little dusting ...

  Happy Friday! Sorry I haven't posted in 12 days, and hope your November's been going well.  Mine's been...kind of covid chaotic. Ella started to not feel so good a little while ago, Dad got a fever some nights ago, and then little while ago Lily didn't feel great either. Fortunately, they're all getting a lot better. Ben, Hattie, and I are the only ones who haven't felt sick, since Mom's a little iffy.  I'm getting pretty excited for Thanksgiving. After all, it's in less than 2 weeks! And after Thanksgiving, it's Fondue Friday, when we decorate for winter and Christmas. I'm also getting excited for Thanksgiving break! School is going fine, but I'm always up for summer/thanksgiving/winter/spring break 🙃 . I used to like school more, but after a hard and/or kind of boring history curriculum and math lessons, I don't enjoy it like I used to.  I just got finished watching Toy Story 4. Dad chose it, and Hattie, Lily, him, and I were th...

  Guess what? I'm back from Utah! So...technically I got back last night, but I didn't have enough time to post about it until now. Here ya go! ~DAY 1~  First day in Utah We got back from the airport late, met Jamie (my uncle from Mom's side), and Ben went with him to job shadow the next day. The rest us of drove to the Air BnB and stayed up later than 1:00 in Utah time.  ~DAY 2~ Lots of hiking day Went hiking at Provo Canyon and took some pics there. Here they are! Then later we went hiking again on a mountain that had a great overlook. It was also kind of sketchy because the path was narrow-ish and slanted at some parts. Ben and Dad went up REALLY high.  I guess you had to be there to really appreciate the view.  Later for supper we went to CupBop, a Korean place, and went to see the Cougars play in a volleyball game. They won the first three sets, so the game was the shortest possible. Which was good, because we were all really tired. We got to bed pretty lat...

This weekend is so busy! Yesterday was Ella's birthday and also Super Soccer Saturday for Hattie and Lily.   All of the Hublers (minus Ben), the Kandells, Grammie and Papa, and Zyra and Aaliyah came. I also saw someone from my volleyball team! We all had lunch there and then went to Grammie's house. For Ella's birthday supper, she chose mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, chicken, biscuits, and pie. After supper (and a yummy dessert!) we watched a movie then went home.  Right now we're getting ready for church, and after Grammie, Papa, Zyra, Aaliyah, and us will all come back here for crepes.  Do you know what's sad though? I only have four more practices/games in volleyball left. I guess it isn't that bad, because the reason why I have to stop volleyball early is cause we're leaving for Utah the next day. I still wish I could finish volleyball though.  Gotta go now!

  Hi! Sorry I haven't posted in 12 days. I got kind of busy. 😬 Anyways, my life's been going pretty good. I had a volleyball game last night in Andover and my team won one out of three matches. I also got hit whacked in the face with a ball. It doesn't really hurt anymore though.  School's also going good, but I still kinda wish weekdays were switched with weekends. So then we would only have two days of school and five days of weekend. But on the plus side, in one of my co-op classes we got to have donuts. I got a white frosted one with jelly inside. It's my friend's birthday today and she invited Lily and me to supper at her house tonight. She has a blog called Amongst the Wildflowers. I'm looking forward to this weekend alot. It's Ella's birthday on Saturday and some of my family is coming over too. Ella chose chicken, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and biscuits (I think) for her birthday supper, and we might also be having crepes, but I...

  I have to admit, this weekend was pretty fun. Yesterday everyone but Ella and me left for Lily and Hattie's soccer, so the house was pretty quiet for the first part of the morning. Then for brunch (basically lunch for me, I had a late breakfast), Mom, Lily, Hattie, and I drove to the Kitchen Table and got some food. I got Maddie's breakfast, which is pancakes, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Most of the afternoon I hung out with friends and then later we went to the Nowthen Fall Festival and saw some of our neighbors there! I got mini donuts, and the fireworks at the end of the night were really cool.  This morning we went to church with one of Ella's friends and had a yummy lunch once we got back. We hung out with Delaney for most of the afternoon and then closer to supper most of us were hanging out in the front yard. I practiced volleyball a little bit with my Dad, and now we're waiting for the fire to start outside.  It's been a great weekend!

  I am sooo glad it's Friday. This was only my first week of school but already I'm starting to wish it's the first week of summer. Anyways, today was pretty fun. I hung out with Hattie for a while and we made a couple video star videos. And by the time it was supper, both Ella and Lily were gone. Ella got to go to the Cheesecake Factory (lucky!) with a special friend and Lily went on her birthday outing. For supper the five of us that were still got Jimmy John's and speedway slushies. Guess that's it for now. Bye!

  Right now Mom, Dad, Ella, Owen, and Hattie are in living room watching Home. I've watched it too many times so I don't like it that much, but there are some funny parts. But then again, who asks me for my movie opinion? We also watched High School Musical 2 earlier, after Ella, Owen, Hattie, and I had put on carbonated face masks. We looked foamy really foamy, and I accidentally got some in my mouth and it tasted really bad.  It's 8:50 right now, so I guess I gotta go. I'll try to post tomorrow though! Say bye Loki!

 Hi! What have you been up to lately? I'm starting school this week (Monday or Tuesday, I can't remember), and volleyball started last Wednesday (the 8th). Delaney does volleyball too, and it's fun to hang out a little during practice and after. After practice she rode home with my Dad and I, and he took us to Bill's for a treat. Oh, Lily's and Hattie's soccer also started last week, and yesterday morning Mom, Dad, Ella, Nora (one of Hattie's friends), and I went to Lily's game/Hattie's practice and scrimmage. I might post later, but I don't know what we're going to do after church. And Loki looks confused puzzled  confuzzled, so I doubt she knows either. See ya later!

Happy Labor Day! My weekend has been pretty fun, what about yours? On Saturday we (Grammie, Papa, Noah, and the rest of the Hublers) drove down to Elk River and biked for little while, then went back to Grammie's house. For supper we had hotdogs and brats around the campfire. Here's a few pics! On our snack break at the bike trails Around the campfire (or what's left of it) Yesterday after lunch we  (Grammie, Papa, Noah, Owen, and the rest of the Hublers) drove to Big Stone Mini Golf, had a quick (as in like 10-15 minute) snack, got on our bikes and biked down to Lost Lake Creamery to get some ice cream.  After ice cream (I got mint chocolate chip in a sugar cone) we biked back and then walked to the mini golf place. It was really fun, and I would go there again if I could. Once all 14 mini-golf-golfing-places-thingamabobs were done, we went to look at the sculptures. Us with our golf clubs Nice picture Funny picture! In the donut-looking thing With the horse Hanging with t...

Hey! Lately my Mom and Dad have been working on the loft, like putting a new couch in it and stuff, and I just wanted to show you what it looks like now.  It looks so much better and they put in a cute wall desk and shelf behind the couch. If you look closely you can see it. Also the tv only has eight bookshelf cubbies ( I couldn't find a better name) below it instead of twelve. The other four bookshelves against the wall with the door leading to my room. Loki was sleeping for a little bit while we were organizing the shelves, and here she it looking really cute and snuggling next to all the books.

 In my last post I said I would post some pics of us camping, so if you look down you can see them! So on Sunday we biked about 5 1/2 miles, and then we stopped at a place called the Dollar General to get some snacks. I had Pringles, freeze-dried bananas and strawberries, beef jerky, and Gatorade.  Us on a bike ride Later in the bike ride Having a snack Hope you liked the pictures. It has been raining like C-R-A-Z-Y this morning, so I hope it clears up soon. See ya later! P.S. Loki is sleeping on a blanket right now and being all cuddly so I'm gonna go pet her!

 Sorry I haven't posted lately. Mom, Ben, Lily, Hattie, and I went to Sakatah Lake to camp with my grandparents. We stayed Friday night, and the next day we went on two bike rides and Dad and Ella came in the afternoon. It was actually only supposed to be one night that we were there, but Dad, Hattie, Lily, and I went another night and stayed until today. This morning before lunch Grammie, Papa, Dad, Lily, Hattie, and I left for another bike ride and I came back really hot. Dad said that we had biked 5.5 miles on the way there and 5.5 on the way back, so we actually had biked 11 MILES!!! No wonder I was so hot... We left around 3:15-30pm and started the drive home. On the way for a 4:00 lunch I had a burger and fries from Culver's. When the four of us got home Owen was here, and now they're going on a four-wheeler ride. I'm going to go too once one person gets off.  I don't have any pics of it right now but I will try to post some soon. Comment if you'd rather t...

 Yesterday was my Mom's birthday! After lunch Hattie and I gave her presents and then we went to see Boss Baby 2! For supper we (Mom, Dad, Hattie, me) went to Crisp&Green (really yummy). We actually celebrated some of it on Friday, since Ella, Aaliyah, Ben, and Lily had to leave for their Grand Adventure yesterday, but that was just from yesterday. Here is Loki last night saying Happy Birthday to Mom.

 I can't believe July is over! Loki is being cute (and naughty since she escaped like 5 minutes ago), so here's a pic of her! Yesterday my family and some of my Dad's family when to Circus Juventas or as some of my family calls it, Aventas. Or Gingervitus. Take your pick! Anywaaays...it was called Galaxium, and it was really fun. I took some pictures, but they might be a little blurry since the circus people were moving around alot. Check out this video for more! Once the circus the over, some of us went to Arby's to get food. After that, we hung around for a little bit and then went home. It was a blast! Then today, Ella's friend Owen came over and then we went to church with him. For lunch we had hashbrowns (yummy), chicken (also yummy), and ribs (messy!). This afternoon Ella, Elsa (Hattie's friend), Owen, and I went to something-something park. Elsa, Hattie, and I played on the playground while the other two played tennis. We played like a MILLION rounds of c...

 My birthday was yesterday, so I'm 11 now! For my birthday breakfast my mom made birthday scones. They were really yummy, and here's a pic of them. Also Loki pretending to be a present. Ella said that  "she's a gift that keeps on giving!" And while we were waiting for everyone to wake up, Lily and I took some selfies. For one of my birthday presents, I got Throw Throw Burrito, which is a "dodgeball card game." I may have accidentally (don't forget that part) thrown a burrito and hit Hattie on the face kinda hard😐. But she was fine and playing again in like 5ish minutes, so that's good. I also hung out with Delaney yesterday morning, too. She had lunch with us, which was hotdogs. Ella, Ben, and Lily also went out to get buns and came back with buns and slushies! They got the slushies from Speedway, and the flavors they brought home were cherry, blue raspberry, and strawberry...melon? I don't think we're going to Bill's anymore for sl...
