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!

Yay!! Mom finally uploaded the Halloween pictures :)

Tada! Here is my costume I am a paper doll !

(get the irony?)

Here is me and Andy. Although he left his light saber in the house, I think he made such a cute Jedi!

Then he started to get in trouble. He decided he needed to turn the lights on that are in the pumpkins. I kept yelling at him that it was day time and that would be a waste of electricity. He tried to light the Pumpkin that Avery and he designed first.

But he had no luck so then he ran to the other side and started messing with Ryan's pumpkin.

He was really determined that the pumpkin was going to glow. I asked him how he expected to see it glow if it was not dark out. He did not have an answer.

I then pointed out that all he really needed to do was plug in the cords instead of trying to lift a gigantic pumpkin and that we would light them at night.

And here is what they looked like all lit up. Andy was sitting next to me while I typed this post and he insisted that I add the lit photos because they are cool... He said Props if you get the triangle pumpkin. Our big brother Ryan loves the movie and books that it came from...and the Lego's :). Andy said he loves Ryan's lego's too since he keeps butting in. I gotta go he needs to do his math and I am going to help him so we can move on with our lessons. I have my math done already. I am awesome at multiplying!

Don't eat too much candy! 

Well it was a very very busy day here today. Mom did not get to uploading my photo yet, so hopefully tomorrow I can show my cute cute costume on here.

Mom is a Cub Master. She was busy getting the pack meeting ready today. We sat and cut out hundreds of snow flakes from construction paper. The boys made Cards with 2 snowflakes on the front that said Season's Greetings. They are going to send them to the military. How fun is that? I got to help her cut cut cut away. That was fun for me. She had to pull a pack meeting together and was really behind on it since Halloween cut into her prep time day. She also made a Cat in the Hat  hat from cardstock, it went with the Bobcat ceremony. I think I might need to make a fun paper Cat in the Hat hat...maybe even a fabric one. I think I will ask Mom if that is ok. I really like the Cat in the Hat. Green Eggs and Ham is the best Seuss book though. Do you have a favorite?

 I love to read like my sister Katie. I am here in one of my modeling photo's and I love this shirt. I want Mom to paint me one, I am Team Jacob!  Mom would not let me keep it she put it in her Etsy store.Wow is Jacob cute. Katie is Team Edward, We argue over them.

I did not get to keep the tulle skirt either. :( Oh well. I mostly wear jeans and a t-shirt. NO shoes. I hate shoes. Well, I like to have them but I hate to wear them because I like my toes free. Sandals are my favorite. It is not cold enough here for me to wear shoes all the time, It has to get cold before I will do that . I even like to sneak out side with no shoes in my modeling photos. In fact since I stayed home for halloween, I ran out for pictures with Andy and I am barefoot. ( It was in the 50's still I can take it. but 10 degrees less and then it is shoe time.)

I am already ready for spring to get here. I don't like cold snow or winter. Other than the holidays, I can leave the rest of winter.

I like the warmer weather because I love to grow flowers, just like my brothers Avery and Andy. Avery has the most awesome roses, and he is only 6 He planted them last spring when he was still 5 with Dad's help.  He helps take care of them and everything. He is hoping to get a new one in the spring, in a different color. Avery has one that is red which is hiss favorite color, and one that the roses are yellow with pink and orange in them as well. I really like the crazy colored ones.

Haha Avery was creeping into my photo. He is my buddy! He likes my little flowers that I helped Mom with for Etsy. Andy keeps a little pot of flowers on top of his dresser. We all get along great.

Aren't these cool??


Well, I am starting to yawn. I need my beauty rest.

Hi, welcome to my blog. I am Elizabeth, but my new family calls me Beth for short. I am 9 years old. I have recentlly been adopted by a new family. I was in an orphanage for a short time. I can't remember much about my life from before my new mom found me. Mom said the mind will block out things that are painful to remember, I guess it would make me too sad to talk about how my original Mom just tossed me to Goodwill.

In the process of being adopted, I gained some brothers and a sister. Ryan is 9 like me but he's a bit taller, since he is human. Avery and Andy are 6. Avery is a human like Ryan, they are biological brothers. Andy is my size, exactly. He is 18 inches tall as well. I have a sister named Katie and she is 18 inches tall. I like having so many kids around. 

 There are 3 other kids in the house right now. There is Kendall, but he is still getting operated on so he is not able to play. Mom is making him better again, since he was also a Goodwill kid, and he is going to be Ryan's best buddy, kind of like Andy is Avery's best buddy. (although I think that Avery will play with Kendall more...) Kendall has a twin, Bane. Bane is also getting some tlc from Mom then he is going to go live with Bella, Ryan's friend and Kanani. Bane is a Hawaiian name and it means long awaited child. Samantha is also getting some tlc and then she will be finding a new home for herself. I think we will always have some foster kids around. Unfortunatly they are never in any shape to play, and if they are then they are too excited to be going to their new home to bother with us.

Katie keeps to herself alot. She is very quiet and likes to read and be alone up in her room on top of Mom's dresser. I like her but she dosen't like to play much. She is 12 and very serious.

Ryan always has tons of homework. That is why I am glad that I am homeschooled. I get my work done when we do school. Andy and Katie gets homeschooled with me and as soon as Kendall is well he will get home schooled also.

I spend time playing with Andy and Avery and I help mom with her Etsy and Emily Rose businesses.

I like to hang out with Mom too. I know she loves me and Katie, Andy and Kendall, her adopted kids. She talkes to us and treats us nice. Daddy works alot and he never really talks to us. Grandpa will stop to talk to us on occassion too.

I do have some scars from my time at Goodwill. I have very very thin hair and it falls out alot. Mom said that at some point she will have to send me away to the hospital. I am scared of that though. I don't want to leave Mom. What if I don't get back. Mom said the other option is that I will need to get a wig and that she can fix that herself. I don't know what will happen, I just have to wait and see.

I will be having some minor surgery on my hips pretty soon. Mom is going to operate now that the part she needed came in. She operated on me once before and the part was defective so here's hoping that my legs will be very strong after my surgery. The good part is once she is done I won't need any recovery time, just some hugs. I know Avery will be the first to hug me. Andy had the same failure and Avery was hugging him as soon as he was out of surgery. Now Andy is running around here, dressed as a Jedi Knight with his lightsaber...causing quite a ruckus. Well at least that is a happy noise.

Tomorrow I will upload my photo of Andy and me from Halloween. Since I already told  you that he was a jedi, you will have to wait until then to see what I was.

Happy Halloween.

Love, Beth
