A Beautiful Family......My Own.....

Yep. They're mine. It's my baby dolls. They are my sister and brother in "real life" but in my pretend games, they are MY kids. Here they are.



Michael(Mikey)




This little guy is a cutie. He's got that long hair....adorable....LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES!!!!! LOL He's a shy boy around strangers but around his family and friends he's a mischievous little dude. Haha.....He likes catching mice and always has a little bit of sparkle to his eyes.



This fiery little redhead has been called a million things.....let's see....Annie....Anna....Sophie...Sophia.....and now I call her AnnaSophia so I can call her all those names for short.





She's outgoing, polite, energy-filled, and crazy about her dollies. She IS shy when she's around important grownups.....but other than that she's a little monkey....always greeting people with a nice hug and kiss, and always climbing something.....and eating a....banana? NOOOO, she likes STRAWBERRIES!!!!!! HAHAHAH



This little one has been called Aurora, Rose, Sophie, and Kathryn, but I settled on Rosie.




She's just a newborn, but from the way she acts toward everyone; hardly ever crying, smiling all the time; and loving anyone who's holding her; I think I speak for eveyone when I say she's going to be a kind, generous little girl like AnnaSophia.



And this is....well I call him Patriot. There you go Ms. Janae!!!! Tell your nephew he's a star!! I love his name!! LOL This little one has been called Terry, Jerry, but I like this name Patriot better.




He's mischievous. NEVER EVER, EVER shy. LOL he's used to being wrapped up like a papoose.........I do it to him ALL the time!!! He loves learning to do anything new....that is, except math!!! Hahaha!!!! He positively HATES math.



I'll add on some....I don't play with these AS much, but I do play with them alot.

**********************************************************



Rebecky or Liberty(Libby)




Newborn and cuddly is all you can describe her as!!!! Hee hee.



Kathryn, Kathy, Sophie, Sophia, but I'm going to call her Kathryn.




I haven't really decided on a personality for her, but I know she'll be just a tiny bit chubby, and sweet.


These are the South Korean twins. I got them because I think it's cool that my brother is adopted from South Korea. This is Shana: pronounced: SHEA-NA.




She's got a sickness that makes her shut her eyes a lot(hey, I HAD to make a reason for her eyes to be sealed shut ALL the time!). :(


And this is Shaun.



He's a newborn he's so quiet, only cries when a storm comes. He has never cried unless a storm is here....isn't that amazing?


This is Emily. She's my bitty baby. I remember saying that I loved the name Emily when I was little and only naming my babies Emily. HAHAHAHAHAHA Not anymore though.




She's sweet, shy and....short???!! Yep, she's short alright. A short lil' sweety.





This is Moon.



I've had him for as long as I can remember and I named him Moon when I was like two, so I can't drop the name....I just can't do it!!! LOL I have no clue where his clothes are....



He's like a minute old newborn in all my games, so he doesn't really have a personality yet....LOL




Do you like?





Bye friends!!





Blessings,






Love, Joy =D

New Dancin' Shoes for Me!

I know I've been posting a lot about dance lately, but I would like to share some more. Well, we went to my first dance class(jazz and tap) for this year Tuesday. It was super fun but the stretches are HARD!!!! They said, "Ok, let's do the splits now!!!". And everyone was looking around like, "Is she SERIOUS?". And she was. LOL REALLY serious!!!! It's hilarious. It hurt, but I'm already closer to my middle splits and side splits. We learned the Broadway and Maxi-Ford in tap, and learned Jazz Triplets. My friend from last year, Christina, got moved up to Juniorettes also, so it's really great to have a friend in my new class....another person I know!

Tap.....




Ballet.....




Jazz.......




I can't wait to tell you about my ballet class with Ms. T........

Blessings,
Love, Joy =D

Faithful Fridays Post!!!!!



Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't done Faithful Fridays but thank you to all who did last week! Thanks for not giving up on me!

Soooo...this week I'm thankful that, as I told you, I got moved up in dance!!!!! I'm soooo excited!!!! I think I told you that classes start August 18 for me. I have jazz/tap downstairs with Ms. L on Tuesday, and on Wedndesday I have ballet upstairs with Ms. T. Then in October we add "Production" where all (who want to do it) from Juniorettes (my level) to Seniors (the last level before teacher). I think all the teachers help in that and I'm pretty sure it's upstairs. The whole studio is awesome. It looks like a victorian castle......really realistic I mean!!!!!!!!! It's blue and white and has a lampost outside it and the girls in my class like to climb it!!!!!!! Next door is the ballroom studio. Ms. T(the owner) has about 200 or more students! And she does ballet plays in every recital!! Last year was Sleeping Beauty; the year before that was Peter Pan; and the year before I came was The Wizard of Oz. This year is Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!! We alternate those four!!!!



Also, I'm thankful that well, I have a blog!!!!! I think I've mentioned this before, but I want to mention it again. I'm SO lucky to meet all you bloggers and I know that I haven't been visiting blogs in awhile, and I'm sorry for that, just bear with me please!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!! I'll try to keep up the blogging!!! I admire you bloggers out there who put out a post every other day or even every day or every two days!!!!!!!!! I know you're VERY busy and I think it's great you take time out of your day to just check in with us and leave comments and etc. Thank you for that and for not giving up on me. I'm very priveleged to have such great fellow bloggers!!!!!



If you participated in Faithful Fridays, let me know in a comment, but, please comment even if you aren't participating!!!! Thanks and God bless!!!!!

WOW I Can't Believe That....

I haven't posted in....let's see...hmmm...FOREVER!!!!!! LOL!!!! How are you all? Please don't give up on me! Well....Here's what I've been up to.

I went to Mountain View with my mom, dad, brother, and brothers's girlfriend. We had a lot of fun even though our hotel was not that nice. It stunk in my bro and dad's room and the AC didn't work well in the ladies'(our) room!!!!!!!

We went to the Hoedown and the Square and the Folk Center and we ate at Pizza Inn and the "Cheeseburger Place" as we call it!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!! Then we drove all the way home again......where we all climbed in bed sleepily.....The end. LOL!!!!



Two days ago, we went to my dance studio where I take ballet, tap, and jazz. There is a class for jazz and tap and a class for ballet. There are five levels for kids my age and up - Age Class, Pre-C0mpany, Juniorettes, Juniors, and Seniors. It's not based on age really but maturity and attendance and attitude and being able to work with a team. Well, I was in Pre-Company last year and Age Class the first year (before that), and this year....well, I thought I would still be in Pre-Company because ususally you stay in that catagory for two to three years. You also usually stay in Ballet One for the same amount of years, but........I'M GETTING MOVED UP TO JUNIORETTES AND BALLET TWO!!!!!!!! It's sooooo cool!!!!!! I'm so excited! Classes start August 18, on Tuesday, then I have another class on Wednesday Then in October I add another Thursday class!!!!! It's sooo great!!!!!

Here is kind of a guide of the conversation at the registration where I found out this exciting news.



Me: "Hey Ms. T and Ms. L. and Ms. A and Ms. S!!!!!!!!!!!"

Them: "Hey Joy!!!!"

Several minutes later: Ms. T: "Joy, we were very impressed by you last year "(at this point I was getting very high hopes but if she said "but" I knew it was over....she didn't) " and we want to put you in our Juniorettes class.....and Ballet Two. Is that ok?"

By this time my mom and I(and dad a little bit) had on GIGANTIC smiles a mile wide and I couldn't speak, frown, or do anything but laugh and smile.

Ms. T: "I can tell by your big smile that it's ok!! Hahahaha ".

I just looked at mom and laughed and smiled and she dittoed!!! I still smile thinking about it!!! Ms. L started laughing and had her glance fixed on me smiling like I was. LOL!!! We all laughed then Ms. T started talking about the stuff like shoes dress code, comp group etc. Then I needed to go to the bathroom and they started talking about money and the bills for the studio time and everything!!! lol!!!

When I went to get the video from last year, Ms. S says (handing the video to me): "Here you go, Ms. Juniorette!!!!" and bops me lightly on the head with the case. lol!!!!!!!!!!

Then we tried on my new shoes (tap and ballet) and we ordered them and ya know what? The studio is now using tan slip on's instead of white laces/elastic.

Well, That's what I've been up to this week. We are going to the nursing home today. Oh and BTW, I get a "big sister" when and if I go to the "Welcome Back to Dance" party. YAY!

Blessings,
Love, Joy =D
