Schools Out!

It's Summer! I am so happy. This school year went by so fast and now I am going to be in the 8th grade, and then I go to High School. I am way scared for High School, but too excited for 8th grade. I have no idea what I am going to do over the summer, but I will try my best to make it fun. My Birthday is in August, and we are going to Mexico for it, and I CAN'T WAIT! This school year has been the most dramamic year of school ever, and I am very proud of myself for making it through the year in one piece, and without making choices that will completely ruin my life such as others. That's how bad this school year was. It went by way fast, and I am so HAPPY! I am going to have so much fun next year hopefully and I have A HECK OF A LOAD of goals for myself. I am really excited to start fresh with a new school year, and with friends. Hope everyone has a good summer.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I love you so much and I hope you have a great day. My Mom is an amazing person. She does so much for me and I am so happy to have her as my Mom. My Mom is always working her butt off for us girls. She is always on-the-go and doesn't ask us to do barely anything. She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life. But then at other times she knows how to fight back when people mess with her. Just Kidding. I LOVE you Mom and I don't know what I would do without you. I can barely handle it when you are gone for a few days. Thank You so much for all that you do. Hope you have a good Mother's Day!
Love,
Taylor :]]

Time for a New Post:] (sorry dad)

It is time for some catching up! I have now made my blog private and I feel much more safe. Before, anyone from anywhere could see my blog and it kind of scared me. Speaking of scary things, today there was a fire in our school. The sirens went off and we all went outside thinking it was fake and it was not. The police and firemen came and we were all outside for 2 hours freezing our butts off. I was sharing a sweatshirt with another girl. And to top it all off I had, had to go to the bathroom since 12:00 and it was 1:30 no teachers would let me go. I was going to ask my choir teacher and then she gave us a lecture about how we all use the restroom too much. Then the sirens rang and I had to wait to get home. I was way mad.:[[ Then it was so cold that everyone had to walk over to the high school so we could get warm and go out to the buses to get home. We could not get our bags or anything. My phone and NEW IPOD were in my backpack so I was sick inside thinking they could get burned. Everything is ok now and school will be in session tomorrow. It was one scary day at school, and totally unexpected:[[

Being Sick Sucks

I know that I have not posted for a while. I haven't really had anything exciting happen for a while, and I haven't been in the mood to blog either. I have also been catching up on homework from going to Utah for my Great-Grandma Mulford's funeral. It was very sad going, but it was very fun to see all of the cousin's we haven't seen for a while. Well on Wednesday night I got a sore throat and didn't think anything of it. On Thursday during the day and mostly around 5 or 6 PM I got a sore throat again and it hurt so bad. It hurt to open my mouth. So on Friday I came home and started crying, because it hurt so bad. This happened right after my mom canceled my doctor's appointment. So my mom looked at my throat and rescheduled my appointment. We got in and out of the doctor's office in about 15 minutes. It was the quickest doctor's appointment I have ever been in. I had been diagnosed with Tonsillitis. I had never heard of it before, and my mom said that the last time she heard of it, it was so bad that they had to remove your tonsils. They didn't have to remoce mine, luckily. If your wondering what Tonsillitis is like me it says below:

What is tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is an infection or inflammation of the tonsils. The tonsils are balls of lymphatic tissue on both sides of the throat, above and behind the tongue. They are part of the immune system, which helps the body fight infection.

Tonsillitis often goes away on its own after 4 to 10 days.

What causes tonsillitis?
Most often, tonsillitis is caused by a virus. Less often, it is caused by the same bacteria that cause strep throat. In rare cases, a fungus or a parasite can cause it.

Tonsillitis is spread through the air in droplets when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. You may then become infected after breathing in these droplets or getting them on your skin or on objects that come in contact with your mouth, nose, or eyes.

What are the symptoms?
The main symptom of tonsillitis is a sore throat. The throat and tonsils usually look red and swollen. The tonsils may have spots on them or pus that covers them completely or in patches. Fever is also common.

If you feel like you have a cold, with symptoms such as runny and stuffy nose, sneezing, and coughing, a virus is most likely the cause.

If you have a sore throat plus a sudden and severe fever and swollen lymph nodes, but you do not have symptoms of a cold, the infection is more likely caused by bacteria. This means you need to see a doctor and probably need a strep test.

My throat has never hurt so bad. The Doctor told my mom and I that Tonsillitis is worse than Strep Throat so I was not very happy, because my cousin's are coming on Tuesday, but it isn't contagous so I was a little more happy, but too sick to show any emotions.

I Will Miss You

While trying to decide what I should blog about I was reading other people's blogs and got to my aunt Steph's blog. I am so very sad that President Gordon B. Hinkley has passed away. The night I foud out what happened all I could think about was the picture we have of him in our house. It is taken to the side and he has a little hat on and a big smile on his face. I thought of how wonderful it was for him to be with his wife. It had to of been an amazing welcome for him. I was so sad, becuase he is the only prophet on this earth that I heve ever known since I have been born. He was so amazing to listen to at General Conference's. He was such an influence on me. I always wanted to run up to him and give him a big hug and thank him for all that he did for us. He was an amazing Man that I loved, and I will miss deeply. When I was looking for a picture of him I saw the second one that I posted and couldn't resist.

Time to Catch Up!

It is so sad that the holidays are over. They flew by WAY too fast. I had a very good Christmas though. My grandparents came out from Utah. Sad to say, but this was the first year I got presents for EVERYONE in my family and my grandparents with my own money. Actually, my mom bought my present from me to gracie and to ellie, and to my grandparents. So I didn't buy for EVERYONE. I guess I was trying to say I got everyone a present this year. I used my money for my mom and my grandma. It was a very good Christmas. We got Guitar Hero Rocks and 80s from "Santa" and everyone was playing it after we took a little nap after opening presents. We woke up at 5:15AM and after opening presents it was still dark out and we were all tired. We all took a nap from about 6-6:30 to about 10:30 or 11, then absolutely had to watch the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade. We also had a very good New Years! It has been busy busy busy since we got off of school!

Christmas Time

It is now starting to feel like the holidays!! Now that it has snowed and we have ALL of our Christmas decorations up it feels like winter, and the holidays! This is my favorited time of year. I am so excited for it to snow a lot and have it not be so rainy and icy. I aboslutly LOVE Christmas. My Grandma and Papa are coming out for Christmas and I am EXTRA excited about that. I love being with my family on Christmas moring opening presents at 5am. I Love how every is so nice during the holidays!!! I LOVE the music that is always playing in stores. I also for some reason love the crowds all over shopping for Christmas clothes and toys. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

And They WIN!!!!

All of us as a family have been waiting for this day to come for a few weeks. The Utah Utes vs. BYU game was on today. My dad is the biggest BYU fan out there. He is such a fan that he said that we will not have Christmas if they lose. He was going to go to the store last night after watching old BYU, Utah games so that time would go by faster. He is seriously to into BYU. The whole family ended up watching the game at about the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter. We were all on our feet screaming, "WE WANT CHRISTMAS." They won and we were all very happy. Even Dexter, the dog. My dad was on the floor yelling YEAH YEAH YEAH!! My dad was very happy that they won, and we were very happy that we get Christmas.
