Dear Everyone,

I love you family. To friends, the same. How "R U" Everyone?

Guess what I do every Tuesday! Go to piano classes! (Ed-My teacher's name is Miss Scarlett. ) And I made a friend. Her name is... well I forgot. I enjoy seeing my friend at piano class. I like when we sit together and listen to Miss Scarlett talking to us. She tells us stories about the Grand Staff. Sometimes we play games, too. I also like practicing and learning new songs.

At Liahona one week, I played Hot Cross Buns for a talent show. A teenage girl named Sarah in our group played a folk song... I think it was called A Melody. Jelly played Handbells, with both hands - separate hands first and then both hands.

Anyway, Jelly is sick right now. She is in bed right now.

I'm making a book. I'm not sure yet what it will be about. I'm still putting it together. I'll tell you about it when it is finished.

Love, Doodlebug

Happy New Year!

Hi! I haven't blogged in a while. I wanted to wish you a happy new year and tell you something exciting. I take piano lessons every Tuesday! :0) They ''R'' F-U-N. I have a cold right now but (hopefully) I'll be better soon.

My Field Trip at the Getty Villa

I went on a field trip yesterday. I learned about Greek and Roman things. The field trip that we went on was to a museum called the Getty Villa. We saw broken-off wall pieces, and pottery, and we also saw gardens. It was a really cool field trip. I only remember seeing two different kinds of columns - they were Ionic and Corinthian. I especially liked the kids' room there. I liked putting on shadow shows with my friends from our homeschooling group. I climbed up the amphitheater steps. It was high!

We saw four different kinds of gardens. One was an herb garden, another was a family garden, and I don't remember what the other two were called. The herb garden was also called a "kitchen garden" because they got all their fruits and vegetables and spices from the herb garden to make their food and also medicine.

I would like to go to the Getty Villa again soon.

My day today

Hi!

It's me, Doodle (or Snickerdoodle, a type of cookie). Guess what I did today? I played something I hadn't played for a long time. Barbie dolls! I played Barbies. (with Jelly) (Ed.: Yes thats me, beautiful litttle me! And this is Jelly speaking.) Yes that was my SILLY sister. Anyway, back to my day. I did some school. Then I played Barbies. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my tooth is wiggly. I hope it falls out soon. That'll be good. I was reading some Peter Pan.

I'll type again soon, bye!

My Weekend

Daddy took us to Disneyland where we met our cousins. First we went to California Adventure where I got lost for a minute. We went on a ride inside of an orange called the Bee Ride. It was fun! You spin round and round and round inside it. The orange was pretty large so quite a few people could go inside.

Then we went on my traditional ride, "Dumbo," in Disneyland. It was fun!

After Disneyland we went to our cousins' house to have a sleepover. The first night of sleepover I slept up in the loft. The next morning (after the day of Disneyland) we to Poppa's (our grandpa) house. We went for a walk on the beach and we had lots of fun there. And then we went back to our cousins' house for their birthday party.

They had pineapple upside-down cake. It was good. We also had mashed potatoes, vegetables, and cheese sauce. I enjoyed the big feast. After we ate dinner, my Mommy and Daddy left our cousins' house because they said we could have an extra sleepover. Last night I slept on my Auntie's biiig bed. And sometimes, when I'm sleeping, I don't even know where I'm sleeping. I usually think I'm in my own bed. But when I wake up the next morning, I see that I'm in a different room! [Ed.: Daddy feels this way all the time.]

Then we left those cousins' house. Then we went to our other cousins' house for some lunch. We only saw Natalie and Lindsey. The other ones were at a meeting. Those ones were (if you want to know) Robyn, Stacie and Katie. The meeting was for 12 year olds and up. Then we kids went upstairs to play. Jelly played with Lindsey while I played with Natalie. We had fun!! :).

Then we left for our own house again.

My does it feel good to be home again!

That's all for now. Bye!

Fun

I had fun today. It was really fun to do. Today I didn't write a book, but I had a lot of fun with my big sister, Jelly Woodyette. Tomorrow I can play on the computer again, yea! How fun does that sound? Absolutely, fadually fun! [Ed. - Don't ask. I have no idea.] Fun days are absolutely fun, better than any other day.

Daddy is typing what I want to say today. I said to him that I had a blog, and so he is now here at the blog place where he posts my blogs. And Jelly's. And his. That's all for now, Grandma NanZ! If you're listening.

P.S. Of course!

A Storybook

Once upon a time there lived a beautiful little girl named Doodle. And she had a very long dress. She was a princess.

[ahem]

And her big sister had the laughing fever. Her big sister was named Hannah. And Hannah always had the laughing fever. Which she was laughing right now. Her big sister was a queen. She was so beautiful. She cannot stop laughing.

Now Doodle was a very pretty girl. Sometimes Doodle had the laughing fever. Hannah was as pretty as Doodle. When they both had the laughing fever, they laughed at the same time.

The End
