The life and times of Shelby Hall

The new TV

2010-02-06T21:07:00.000-08:00

Tonight my Dad decided to buy a new TV, he has been talking about getting a new one for a long time but I guess the Superbowl made him want it even more. Anyway it is a huge 52 inch TV that I am sure my Dad will spend all night installing or whatever. Bet you wish you were us.

Lets start with Christmas.....

2010-01-24T17:31:00.000-08:00

This Christmas was awesome. In fact it may have been one of the best! As usual we didn't go anywhere and no one came here but we still had Grandma and Grandpa over on Christmas and it was still lots of fun. This Christmas had me feeling very greatful and very spoiled. Not only did I get tons of stuff but it was all really expensive stuff like Wii fit, and fifty dollar jeans, and thirty dollar perfume. Overall the holidays were great.

Starting new!

2010-01-24T17:13:00.000-08:00

So sorry, I haven't blogged in like forever! I can't really say I have an excuse other than just being plain old lazy. Anyway, I am going to try to write at least once every two weeks depending on how many things happen in that time that are actually worth writing about. Wish me luck.

The big 13 !

2009-10-02T15:00:00.000-07:00

I turned 13 on September 25th. I didn't really want a party or anything, but I wanted to do something special. So I saved up 110 dollars to go shopping. I enjoyed shopping with my Mom and Leah and also got to meet up with my brothers and my Dad at California pizza kitchen. My Mom and Leah also made me the cutest, tastiest, biggest cake in the whole world! The cake was lemon buttercream. I had a great birthday! Pictures will be added soon I promise!

Babysitting gigs.

2009-09-19T22:26:00.000-07:00

Since I am only twelve and therefore can't get a real job I have been babysitting. It pays pretty well and doesn't even feel like a real job. It's so fun! I have sixty dollars so far. I am saving up to go shopping next week for my birthday.

Thunder storm in september?

2009-09-12T11:16:00.000-07:00

We all woke up this morning to thunder shaking our house , I was pretty scared at first but after a while the thunder and lightning were both kinda fun to watch. There have been a few fires but no one has been hurt. I guess naturally everything in September is a little odd, I mean it isn't officially fall yet but not really summer since we have school.

Back to school !

2009-09-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has taken me so long to update I have been kinda busy lately. We went back to school on August 26. I am now a 7th grader attending Harvest park , it is a lot of fun but also very hard work I have at least 2 hours of homework every night but other than that school has been good. Here are some pics!

What I should have blogged about a long time ago...

2009-08-11T16:11:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since my last post so a lot has happened but since I don't want this to be to long I won't give many details. First off I would like to tell about the rest of the Hall family reunion. Well , I was basically sick for the rest of the week. Luckily I was better by Saturday because I left for girls camp that morning.I had tons of fun at girls camp and am very much looking forward to going back next year. Next came our trip to southern California. We went there to see our cousins ( the Hurst's) we really enjoyed going swimming , to the beach ( where we got extremely sunburned thanks to the skin we inherited from grandpa hall, thank you grandpa) , and just plain talking. Last but not least our Aunt Diana and her daughter are now staying with us for a week or two. So far ( it has only been a day) we have had lots of fun with them.

Sorry for all the ( )s

luv shelby

Two reunions in one month

2009-07-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

My summer has been great. A few weeks ago we had a family reunion with my moms side of the family. We stayed in a lodge that had a play set , a trampoline , a hot tub , and a pool table. We had tons of fun! This week is our family reunion on my dads side. It is not over yet but it has been super fun! So far we have gone to SF and the beach.

More later.

Schools out / I am in Arizona

2009-06-15T10:27:00.000-07:00

Schools out!!! On the last day of school we ........ watched a slide show, laughed at a comedian , and watched a talent show. It all very fun but it didnt feel like the last day of school because it was overcast.

My aunt and uncle (ben and brittany) just had a baby and I havent seen them in a year so I decided to come help out with there daughter baylee. It has been really fun!!! And very hot! But they have a pool!!!

Swiming in the rain

2009-06-10T17:52:00.000-07:00

For school today we went to the equatic center and it was raining!!! Since the weather wasnt so great I was only in for like an hour. I would have stayed in longer but some kid had a seisure in the deeper pool so we all had to get out and go stand by are stuff on the grass the kid was okay he was even waving after a little while. I got so cold while I was standing there that I didnt want to go back in.

Jumpin for joy!

2009-06-06T16:52:00.000-07:00

Next week is our last week of school and I am so excited! Although the weather here isnt great it is supposed to heat up and I am going to Arizona!

A song that seems to exemplify my excitement is Schools out by Alice Cooper. Its kinda a rock song but who cares.

Song of the week ( or I guess song of the day )

2009-06-03T18:54:00.000-07:00

The song of the week is : The fear you wont fall
by Joshua Radin

Baptisms for the dead

2009-05-29T15:54:00.000-07:00

This Wednesday was my first time going to the temple and my first time doing baptisms for the dead.It gave me a headache but it was still fun and spiritual.

Memorial day

2009-05-28T20:04:00.000-07:00

Our memorial day was pretty laid back. Garrett and I slept over at Grandma and Grandpa's on sunday and but we had to go to bed early cause I had to get up at eight for the memorial day breakfast which started at 8 thirty. Getting up early was kinda a big thing for me since I like to sleep in but the breakfast was worth it , well almost they ran out of orange juice so I only got like half a cup. I spent the rest of the day shopping with Grandma it was pretty crowded but still a lot of fun.

My new favorite song!

2009-05-23T19:48:00.000-07:00

Yeah I know I found a new favorite song pretty quickly , but what can I say I like a lot of music.

So here it is it's called you and I collide by Howie day

STAR testing

2009-05-06T17:41:00.000-07:00

This week at school we have STAR testing and for some reason I LOVE IT! Well, actually I dont love the test I love that it changes my day.For example each period is usually 45 min long but now they are only 33 min. long and I can leave study hall right after I finish my hw whereas usually I have to wait until 4:15.

Well wish me luck

Shelby

2009-04-30T19:27:00.000-07:00

This is a list of things that have recently been affecting my life. Number 1 Owen broke his pinkie playing kickball.Iknow, I know you play kickball with your feet thats what I thought to but apperently you catch the ball to.No worries, Owen's fine other than the fact that his arm smells a little.Ha ha ha.Number 2 I am sure you have all heard that the swine flu is going around.They sent out a note and everything! The symtoms(that I remember) are lose of appetite,nausea, and vommit.Number 3 there was a mountain lion sighted on moore avenue which is CLOSE!But life goes on.

EASTER

2009-04-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

Our Easter was pretty kicked back and boring because we didn't go anywhere and no one came here.I have to say the highlights were probably the food and our new trampoline.

joy to the world

2009-04-07T21:24:00.000-07:00

This weeks song is joy to the world it's not the song you think it is though.I am talking about the song that sings about the bullfrog.I luv rockin out and dancing to this song.

song of the week

2009-03-30T19:59:00.000-07:00

Okay so I would like to be the kind of person who always updates her blogs since I don't have the excuse that I am busy with kids my life to me just doesn't seem very interesting so I decided that once a week I will put a song up for you guys to check out you might not like my music but whatever. don't worry it wont be Hannah Montana or any thing.

For example this weeks song of the week is HERE COMES THE SUN by the Beatles I love this song because it makes me feel happy and reminds me of the good weather ahead.

twilight progress

2009-02-23T19:46:00.000-08:00

I am not so happy to say that I finished the twilight series. I WANT MORE!!!! Since then I have just been reading them over again. It drives my mom crazy ! But at least Iam reading something.

Weekend at the grandparents.

2009-02-18T17:29:00.000-08:00

Last friday very early in the morning my mom and dad got on a flight to miami. Because they left so early grandma decided to come get us thursday night. We stayed at are grandparents until monday night. It was fun on saturday we went to the exploratorian it was really cool they had some fun hands on activities, and then on monday(which we had off for presidents day) we went to the movies we wanted to see Coraline but it was sold out so we saw pink panther 2 instead , the boys were a little dissapointed but I didnt mind I am getting a little old for cartoons. All in all we had fun.

Chili cook off

2009-02-18T17:16:00.000-08:00

Last weekend our church had there chili cook off.It was actually more of an auction. All of the young women and young men either had to auction off a service for the future or bring a food to auction I decided it would be easier just to bring cookies. It would have been fun but at the time I had a sinus infection that put a lot of pressure on my ear. It hurt. But the chili was good and we earned a lot of money for camp.

Who knew making bread could be so messy?

2009-01-30T16:22:00.000-08:00

This week for young womens we made bread for the sacrament FROM SCRATCH!!!!! Iam usually really good at cooking but I did not realize that usually when I cook I don't use very many dry ingredients and the kitchen is not super crowded.Long story short I spilled dry milk all over the floor and instead of helping my partner knead the dough I spent the rest of the night sweeping.But it all worked out in the end I still had fun and the bread was really good.
so thats what I have to blog about for now.

LOVE SHELBY

The first time i saw it, it was supposed just me and my dad but then my mom wanted to go so my brothers came to which was a BIG MISTAKE that night garrett woke me up because he could not get the scene of alice ripping james head off out of his mind. The 2nd time i saw it with a friend it was the first time i saw a movie without an adult , it was very fun i also got to trick or treat by myself this year iam starting to feel old, but its a good kind of old.
