Happy Friday

Today the boys were home from school in honor of Veteran's day. Wow, did they ever get crazy! I think I like it better when they go to school.

Mom made some more jewelry today, and she needs to take photo's of that plus some earrings she did not complete from the other day. Hopefully the weather tomorrow will co-operate and we can have a photo shoot and then off to edit and list.

I like the modeling part. Mom makes me look pretty. She did my hair today for tomorrow. It is super cute. I have this french braided crossover ponytail do. It was windy the other day when she took my photo's so this will help with the hair blowing around in the breeze problem. I love some of the stuff mom came up with today.

Mom has branched out a bit. She sculpted some mugs that are my size so if the baking process goes well, a new item. Here's hoping that works out.

Well it is late for little dolls. I have to get going.

Veteran's Day from an American Girl

Everyone in the United States of America (dolls and people too) needs to pause on November 11, and remember all the fallen that have served this country, protected us, and lost their lives for us. Thank a Veteran, or a solider. While we have fallen on some hard time this year, can you imagine how much worse they  could be without the freedom we all take for granted.
Say a prayer for our country if that fits your lifestyle. Reflect on the meaning of the holiday. Show respect, and honor to the flag and all who defend what it stands for. Sing a patriotic song. Display your flag. Show your pride.

I might be a 9 year old doll, but I was born in China as we all are and hey I love being an American Girl. I am proud of my title.

I will be spending Veteran's day with my family. Peace & love to you and yours.  Thanks Veterans and NAVY, ARMY, AF, MARINES for without you where would we be?

Etsy

 Mom and I have been so busy so sorry that I did not blog. We have been making new jewelry styles for my Mom's Etsy store. Mom took  a glam shot that is the one at the top, and then she edited the photo below that to pop, not for the Etsy shop, but for fun, and for me. I look so cool.

That zebra belt is for sale. I want one.

You can see where Katie and I model at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Lemonhead103 and there are so many awesome shops  on Etsy that have clothing, shoes, jewelry, food, furniture, well everything you could imagine. It  is a great place to develop a signature look.

Karen Mom of Three is one of my Mom's friends. (her three are people kids, boys. I am not sure  how many doll kids she has) Her shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/Karenmomofthree?ref=pr_shop_more

Karen has a blog too, her blog is http://karenmomofthreescraft.blogspot.com/
I love her blog. She has such great ideas on how to make stuff for yourself.  You really should follow her.

I also like to watch You Tube doll videos. Fun and  learn so much.

Well Mom said she needs the computer back, she has tons of photo's to finish editing, and then she has to create the new listings.

Hope to blog more soon.

It was a boring lazy Saturday. I was home with the boys, Katie and Poppa. Mom was at a scout leader training and Dad had work.

I played Legos with all the boys. It is easier to join them, especially when they outnumber the girls.

(I like lego's they are fun.. the minifigures are cute.)

Not much to say about today, but some days are like that.

We are rolling the clocks back an hour so that makes me happy.

The Scout food drive is tomorrow so I guess we will be having another busy day.
Church, then scouts. that is my day.

It is very late for little dolls, I need some shuut eye. Goodnight.

Hair

My New Hair


WOOOO!

I went out to play on the swingset with the boys because it was really nice this afternoon.

Here I am with Kendall and Andy.

Kendall is wearing the hat.


Here is a close up of his face, I told you he was cute.

Don't you love the freckles?

I think he is adorable.

I'll have Mom help me sneak some more photos of him. Mom got one of me and her flash went off in the full sun why, I don't know but it did. I look crazy.

But you can see the red in the new do.

The people brothers did not have school since they had an inservice day, so the five of us played and Katie stayed to herself....well the boys are more fun anyhow.
Now that I look at these, Mom needs to take some better photos. I will ask. She was rushed because the boys started to fight and she had to go break it up, then she made us all go inside anad calm down.

Have fun Tomorrow is SATURDAY!!! Poppa is watching us all because Dad has work and Mom has a meeting. I'll let ya know how that goes. You know I'll be the good one...(well Katie will too because she is anti-social...that nerd did 2 grades in a year homeschooling. She keeps it up she can graduate at 15!)

I am so excited!

OMG, OMG, OMG

Mom finally got around to doing my surgery today. My hips are 100% ok again and I can stand up straight, SO happy. I was scared, as anyone would be when they have surgery, but it did not hurt at all and I am so much better now. I didn't even realize that time passed. I was asleep the entire time.

Then Mom asked me if I wanted to change my hair color. I went for it. I now have an Auburn color. It looks very pretty with my blue eyes if I say so myself. I keep staring at myself. I am in love with it.

Andy cried when he looked at me, he kept saying through the tears that he wanted my blonde hair back. I love that silly guy. He is cute, and he loves me the best. He and I sit together alot and he does wrap my hair in his fingers and twirl it, so I guess he did have a thing for it. I'll go blonde again eventually. I am thinking this is a good warmer fall/winter look.

Anyhow, no photos of the new look until tomorrow because Mom said that it will be even nicer in natural light and it was dark dark dark until we finished it. I can not wait for tomorrow when we go take my picture! I am not going to wear anything that will outshine my cool new do, so just my favorite blue jeans and a white shirt. I am keeping is simple. My hair is going to be the Shining star in the photos.

Ok enough about my hair, lol. Kendall is up and around from his surgeries. I'll see if he will let me take his photo tomorrow. (I have such cute brothers!) Kendall and I are the same age, but we are not twins, since we were both adopted. We both have blue eyes, and he is currently blonde.

Want to hear something silly? People think that Ryan and Avery are twins all the time and Ryan is 3 1/2 years older. Ryan is only just slightly taller though. He is short for his age and Avery is super tall for his age so they meet in the middle. Ryan gets very angry.

So the rest of my day, Mom and I looked at maps after I did my school work, because the Cub Scouts are doing a canned food drive so we had to make up maps and routes for the teams. We spent alot of time with a highlighter, coloring the routes in. Mom has some more to do but the highlighters needed a break. She has until Sunday to get it finished and I will help her too. I really like to help my mom with stuff.

We spent some time reading other peoples blogs today too. (well mom and I do that every day) I look forward to new updates from other dolls like me. I don't travel like many of them do, I just live with me new family and do everyday things, like schoolwork. I hope to visit my cousins Madi, Molly and Emma... (Madi and Emma are people, Molly is the doll.) They have a little (people) brother Jake too. I want to play with Molly. I think she will be more fun than Katie.

When the boys went to be Kendall went up with them, Andy snuck back down to watch more tv with me when Avery was not paying attention, and Katie is upstairs. I bet you can guess what she is doing, reading her kindle and listening to music. She needs a life. I am pretty attached to Mom though, so I like to be with her. I am so happy to have a new family, especially one who loves me enough to pick me. That is the cool thing, four of us are adopted and we are loved and chosen.

Mom's other two patients are nearly ready to find new homes. Sami still needs a hairstyle. Then she is going up for adoption. Kendall's twin brother will be with us until we can visit his new mom Bella. She is going to love him though, Equally as cute as Kendall.

Mom needs her computer she had some email she needs to write.

Later guys!

Shameless Christmas list plug:
Here is a photo of some bracelets mom made. I love them. I am hinting here for Christmas, mom. (You don't have to sell them all in the Etsy shop do you? Please!)

Reading (and Glee)

I love to read, however unlike my sister Katie I actually take my nose out of a book long enough to enjoy the family and our friends. Katie only has her nose out of a book long enough to go on Amazon and load up her kindle. Those free downloads can take you pretty far. Everyone gets her Amazon gift cards. It is the only thing that makes her happy. She is picky, picky, picky about her clothes. She prefers gift cards for them as well. I should introduce her.

This is Katie. She is very pretty I think. Just a bit hard to live with.

I like to read story's with Princesses, Fairies, Dragons, Vampires, and Witches....well i like fantasy stories. I adore the Princess Diaries, just not the Disney version. They completely ruined the book. Princess Mia's Grandmere was mean not warm and fuzzy Julie Andrews. Ugh... and they ruined Michael Moscovitz as well....anyhow the books are better. There are very few times that I will say that the movie or tv show was better than the book. Vampire Diaries is the only time I say that....(shhh Mom dosen't know that I DVR that and watch it when she is busy. She says it is too old for me. What-ever Mom!) Mom had a few of the books but she hated them. I read them and she recently listed them on Ebay and just got rid of them. Elena was not likeable in the book. You pretty much wanted her to be dinner.

Anyhow back to Katie and her reading, right now she is listing to Lithium on Sirius/XM (ok that I agree with her on, the 90's had some great alt rock! I like Emo as well. Oh anything Glee too. I love glee...oh wait we were talking about reading) and her pretty face is in her kindle. I am sitting with Andy, watching Glee.
I love her but she is antisocial.

Glee!! Wooo!! SO excited because Damian McGinty started his story on it as Rory Flannigan. We are all fans of Celtic Thunder, and Damian had been in that before he won The Glee Project. (ok he was the only winner that any one in my house... and that means all the human's and doll's cared about.) He is cute. Too bad I am too little for him (and vinyl) He can sing too. I guess he is my Celebrity crush. Katie loves Darren Criss. I am really surprised that she did not watch it yet. We DVR it, Mom has scouts on Tuesdays. This is the 3rd time Andy and I watched it. Andy likes to think he is Finn.... he is a silly little brother.

Gotta go watch my love! Bye!
