Seattle, Wa
Ok guys, I know it's been forever. But I've been busy. Thanksgiving was spent in NYC, we have a hotel suite we rent every year that has a perfect view of the parade. Then the next day we spent all day shopping, and then on that Saturday afternoon we flew to Aruba. I stayed there until about a week before Christmas. I love going to Aruba during December, it's warmer and sunnier (sunnyer? no doesn't look right......did I spell it right??) than alot of places in December. For Christmas I went to Seattle to see my cousins Erica and Emily and my uncle and aunt. My uncle Ethan, he just got back from Iraq sometime in December. (He's in the army.) But we saw my other cousins too, and my best friend Kelsie (from Redding, Ca) came too! I miss her so much, I usually only see her in the summer. She might come to Florida with me this summer again. And in January I went to Thailand for about a week. We donated money to help buy food and supplies for all the tsunami victims, and helped out some. I got to play with the kids. Basically I just tried to cheer them up (some of the kids were pretty shaken up). And in later January I went to Brisbane, Australia to visit my second cousin, Eva. She was Miss Australia in this pageant, like Little Miss Universe or something. It's not a high publicity thing, I try to stay away from publicity, my agent doesn't want me exposed yet. She came in 2nd in the pageant, and I got 1st. I was representing the United States. So that was fun, and then now I'm back. I'm in Seattle visiting my cousin Erica, and Monday I go to Savannah, Georgia to see my grandma, and then Tuesday I'm off to South Africa for a couple weeks. I love travelling, it's one of my favorite things! In March I'm going to Ireland, and I'm hoping to find a job in April or May. In late June or early July I'll most likely go to Florida. Key West, Florida is like my home base, but we go to West Palm Beach and Savannah, Ga and other parts of Florida and the south too. But I'm in Key West the most. I didn't have my laptop with me in Thailand or Australia, but it's coming with me to South Africa, so I'll try to post while I'm there. GOD BLESS!!!

Mt. St. Helens, WA
I came here because the volcano was supposed to erupt (and it did), and I came here in case it was going to be a big eruption, because then people might need stuff. Iin my last post I said about when my grandparents moved here, they actually came when my mom was 7, she was actually born and grew up in Australia until she was 7. I went there and visited my relatives, and I forgot my laptop so that's why I haven't updated this for so long. And in later August I was in Florida and there were the hurricanes and then hurricane relief charities I helped with and then my pageant (I won!!) and then to Australia to visit my family. I haven't had time lol. I just wanted to update this so people know what's going on. I'm going to go up to Seattle to see Lindsey today. She's 7, and she does pageants too, and I haven't seen her for so long. She also has tickets to the Mariners game so we're going to go to that. We're also going to do some other stuff, and we have to be there by like 9:30 this morning. We've been driving for a while, I'm actually in the car on my laptop right now. I need to go now, Rosie wants to play a game. GOD BLESS!!!
1:00am MST
Nowheresville, WY
I went outside earlier today, and looked as far as I could see in every direction. Absolutely nothing. Guess what I found out today? Well I'll start at the beginning. I won Miss California for the Miss Pre-teen USA preliminary pageant. Later this month I'm going to a workshop. I don't know the date of it. I think it's like the 17th through the 19th, and then the 20th is the pageant. I don't know where it is. My agent does, I'll probably find out on the way there lol. But what if I win, I get to go to the international pageant, called Miss Pre-teen Universe. It's where they have delegates from each country that participates. And what I found out is that my second cousin, Eva, won Miss Pre-teen Australia! I didn't even know I had a second cousin!! She's my mom's cousin's daughter. She's about my age. It's so weird though, my mom's side is my grandparents, my mom, and my two aunts. I never realized there were more people. But there are, and they live in Australia, and I'm going to visit them in September. Or maybe October. My grandparents on my mom's side moved here when they were like, I don't know, like 19? Because they moved here before they got married and they got married when they were like 20 or something. They moved here from Australia, and my grandma is full australian, and my grandpa was like 1/8 english and the rest Australian. So my mom is 1/16 english and 15/16 Australian. So i'm pretty much half Australian. I didn't know that until now when my grandma told me that Eva won the pageant. It's so weird, I didn't even know about these people before! It's like 1 minute you don't know anything, and the next minute you're half Australian and have a second cousin named Eva that you'll be competing against if you win a pageant in 2 weeks. Ok, I just figured this out!! I'm 1/32 english, 15/32 Australian, 1/8 Swedish, 1/8 Scottish, 1/8 Irish, and 1/8 Norwegion. Ok, that's my my true ethnic background. I need to write that down because I usually don't know, all I know is that I'm white and that's pretty much it. GOD BLESS!!!

Chelan, WA
I know it's been 10 days since I last wrote, I was in France last week and I was so busy meeting with different modeling people, that I didn't have time to get on my laptop. I'm in Chelan now, and I saw some people. We just back from this waterpark, and it was really fun! My sister Rosie went on a bunch with me, and Kelsie and Erica did too. Megan and Emily were a little more tmid about them. And Courtney and Andrew wouldn't go on them at all! I tried to get them to, and Courtney started screaming! She never screams lol. She just sat on the blanket and wrote in her little book. And Andrew just bothered Lindsey. It's so cute though, because at one point she wanted him to go away, and she just smacked him in the face! That's the way Lindsey is though, you shouldn't ever push her too much. I'm leaving like really soon though, like in a half hour. It's really smokey here, and the air quality level is at "very unhealthy", and with my asthma I shouldn't be in air like this. We're going to go to Seattle for a day and staying at Lindsey's house. I'll probably be busy so I likely won't be able to write again for a few days. Well actually, I think after Seattle I'm going somewhere else, and I have no idea where we're going. GOD BLESS!!!
