Alivia Update

Alivia is in full fledged teenager mode.

She stays up late

She gets grouchy when she is hungry or tired

She still moans and arches her back when we ask her to do something that she doesn't want to do.

She loves to babysit

She loves 7th grade

She doesn't like math, but likes science

She does most of her homework on an app on the ipad (for reals that is just weird to me)

She still loves her animals

Currently we have 6 puppies that she is caring for along with the puppies mother

She is taking...

drama

American Sign Language

Drama

Aerobics

Math

Science

English

Career and Development (I think that has replaced home ec.)

Volleyball

She shares a locker with her friend Tegan...we call her Teeegy:)

She is the Beehive secretary in YW

She went to girls camp this year and loved it

They went to Yellowstone and stayed in someone cabin

She still bugs her brothers daily and sometimes plays with them nicely

She is sprouting a different style almost every week. It is hard to keep up as well with her sizes, she is now in a size 9 shoe....so a lot of my shoes go missing or get unwillingly adopted by her.

She loves to swim and especially visit her Whidden cousins. They are very important to her and says often how she wishes we lived closer to them

I would like to say that she likes to be around me....to be honest I am not sure. When it is just her and I, we can talk about anything and she has pretty good common sense. So when I ask her is she has a crush on someone she says no....... I know better than that:)

She loves decorating her room and is constantly looking for new ideas to keep herself busy.

I am pretty sure she likes camping and fishing, maybe not as much as Bauer or Kessler but she likes to Instagram and chat with her friends on her ipad.

She takes after her father and has a super sweet tooth. She loves candy and anything sweet.

She loves to watch series on Netflix and I am thankful that she is a good judge of what shows are good to watch and not so much.

Below is a picture of this summer we went boating and the kids were riding on the tube. The rope snapped and came back and gave her a nice scratch across her face. It was pretty scary.....she looked pretty gangster there for a while:)

Overall she is a busy tweenager. I know the next few years my patience meter is going to be working overtime:)
