The Steps to Entertain When Bored...

Yes i have steps that i follow! sometimes i don't but alot of the time i do...

#1. read Twilight (see i say Twilight!? haha it is a favorite of mine... though any good book would work!)
i had just finished reading Twilight a few days ago and now starting the 3rd book Eclipse.
#2 Watch Prince Caspian... (i had a pic but it wouldn't come up...)
I love this movie though right now we have no TV downstairs and so i watch movies in my mom's room but she was sleeping and i didn't want to wake her up.

#3 text or call somebody...
Well those i did call or text didn't answer so now I was starting to get desprate!

#4 Listin to some music...

I usually do this anyway but for some reason today was diffrent i wasn't in the mood for JUST listening

#5 Eat goldfish...

These are seriously some of my favorite snack food they keep you company and you can talk to them and if you are serious about it they might even talk back! yes talk! plus they are like the never get ride of hunger so once you start eatting it does nothing for your hunger so you just eat and eat... i am sure you can guess why this one didn't work though we had none :(

#6 draw a awesome picture...

i was very upset that i was unable to find my stetch book... :(

So i was left with the next choice...

#7 learn a new song on the piano OR create a song on the piano...

i learned the song called Viva la Vida by Coldplay and it is in my playlist it is at the beginning...

so here is what i did... i went on youtube and typed in "viva la vida piano how to play" and i chose the first one... well i very afraid when i sawthis person play,it looked very hard... so i watched and watched and watched. and would play it over and over again... and after 3 1/2 hours i am now able to play... one hand at a time... but i will get better!

they always say practice makes perfect! :)

Old Memories and Photos

I was on the computer and I was really bored... nothing to do, no one to talk to, so i decided to look at some older pictures and then i thought i can just share them with everyone else too! Most these pictures are from Caitlin's camera except for the first few...

i hope you enjoy them as much i did! and maybe get some laughs too!
P.S. I was listening to some of my blog music while doing this and the song Little Wonders came on! It is a really sweet song! and i just thought i would share that since it has to do with the little things of life and this is about the past and those little things in my life! or at least that is how i see it when listening to that song... did i mention it is in the movie "Meet the Robinsons" too??



UH-OH! Look at Grant in the backround and you will understand! He was trying to blow out the candles on Caitlin's birthday cake! hahaha (ya i know this isn't to long ago but i always laugh when i see this and the next pic... hehehe)

His misson was a sucess!! Though now he is going to pay!! It looks like caitlin's about to hit him! haha she didn't just got very upset...

She thinks her Uncle Grant was VERY funny! I actaully remember this day very well! idk why...? ":)

Reading to Isabella! Looking at all this pictures now i am very happy that i had gotton braces! Then i hadn't wanted them but now i am soo happy i do! :)

The new isabella

I know it is alot! and i would say to myself stop putting more pictures on there Grace! and then i would find something else... and now it has turned into this! i hope you enjoy them though!

oh and it took me almost 2 hours to do this! my fingers and neck is sore from the postion i am in! but hey it was worth and i had fun so that is all that counts!! :)

My Silly Brothers!!

My brothers are sooo funny! They have an amazing way of falling asleep in positions that look painful and funny! I can never resist from takeing a picture of it! I love my brothers they are soo funny!! They can do the sillyist stunts and come up with the funneist ideas that look so scary but are soo funny! And then they usually want me to do it too! I cave sometimes but mostly i am just to afraid to do it! haha


This may not look very uncomfortable but this blanket is a kid blanket from when Tanner was a baby I think and it only covers the top half of his body. It stops at his belly button!

Grant falling asleep on a cold, hard, wooden floor with a thin TOWEL! And his dog caramel sleeping with him on the floor. She does this with both Grant and me where if we fall asleep downstairs she will stay there ALL night. Caramel was lucky this time though and got to sleep with Grant.

Tanner also fell asleep on the cold, hard floor with the same towel... But at least Tanner has another blanket for his head...!

Nathan wasn't asleep... yet... but i am sure that it would have happened very soon! And once again that blue stripped appears on the floor. maybe it is just very comfortable so they lay on it on the floor?? hahaha

Now this position looks the most uncomfortable of them all i think... Tanner is squeezed in that chair and him leaning like that... I would prob be very sore after that... but i don't know maybe it is diffrent for Tanner...

I would like to share also that once Grant falls asleep it is nearly impossible for him to wake up! We have rolled him off the couch once while he was sleeping to wake him up and he just layed there. When i got downstairs in the morning he was still completely out of it laying on the floor. It looked like he hadn't even moved one single time the whole night...

Oh ya!!!! did i mention that all these pictures them were takein at a family get together!!??

But you gotta love them!

S-Club 7

when i was about 7 or 8 S-Club 7 was a very popular show and band... I would arrive at my baby-sitters house and one of the first things hannah and me would wanna do is watch S-Club 7... We were so talented that we even knew the theme song words! Which is a pretty big acomplishment for a 7 year old i think. Well at the end of summer my friend Amanda and me found out that we both LOVED s-club 7 when we were younger... So being as clever as we are we decided to learn the theme song again and learn the dance to the theme song! it took us many times to learn it! and by the end we had the first half down (though we couldn't do the second part cuz they did partner danceing...) We were pretty proud though!
Now you are probly wondering where did this come from?? Honestly I have no idea!!!! hahaha This is just Grace being her good old randon self as always!!! And btw they have some music videos and shows on youtube for S-Club 7 aswell!! I LOVE THEM!!!!



S-Club 7 my favorite band and TV show when i was younger...

TWILIGHT!!!!!!

So i went to go see twilight last night!!!!! It was sooooo good!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!
I went with my sisters friend, Sommer, and some other people from the Winters Run Ward, and with my mom.
We went to Applebee's and from there to the theater!
It was a very good movie though!!!!!

Though i should warn you that the preveiws arent that great! and some of them are REALLY creepy and scary!!!!!

ME, ME, ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25 Things you May or May Not Now About Me!

1. I am terrified of horses! Whenever i see one i think that it will attack me! Or eat me! Whenever i think about them or talk about them my heart starts to beat more and i panic! (it is happening right now!)

2. I have to fall asleep with me head faceing the right! I know that is really weird but that is the only way i can go to sleep! so if i have like a neck problem i am in some deep trouble!!

3. I have had the same dream on the night of my birthday since as long as i can remember! (i could problbley tell you the characters and the whole intire story! haha just ask if curious! people tend to be...) It is about a crimanal that breaks out of jail and i turn him good in the end! When i was younger i use to be terrified by my dream, but now i laugh when i have it! (oh ya and did i mention that it is in a diffrent lauguage and diffrent country each year?? I have had america britain china japan africa and i few other!) I know its weird!

4. Since on the topic of dreams i once had this video and it was blues clues and it was called story time! I loved that movie until one night i had a dream that the bear climbed up the wall of our house at night! terrified of it ever since! Havent watched it since!

5. I am affraid of uncovered windows at night! When younger i would crawl on the floor just to avoid haveing to look outside in the dark!

6. My best memories of my life are always with my family. I love my family and love to be with them.

7. I love goldfish (the food)! that is like my favorite food of all time! If i was trapped on a Island all alone i would be happy with a endless supply of goldfish! They are wonderful it is like a 3 in 1! They are yummy to eat, someone good to talk to (yes i talk to them! hahaha), and are fun to play with and toss in your mouth!

8. I LOVE to dance! It is like one of my favorite things to do of all time! It is wonderful to be able to make a full out of myself and no one can laugh at me and hurt my feelings cuz they are danceing to! (well usually! and i still dont care if they arent danceing! haha)

9. I love to read and write! Those are some of my favorite things to do! This may sound weird but i dont even mind a essay that much! Unless it is on some crazy subject.

10. When i grow up i wanna be a Nero Surgeon or a musicain. i know they are complete oppistites but i figure Nero Surgeon during the day then famous Musician at night! Like hannah montana!!!! Except soo much better! haha

11. i wonder sometimes if underneath all my thick hair if i am a blond?? haha. I have said and done some pretty silly things that it makes me and people around me wonder sometimes... ??

12. I HATE forwards!!! They annoy me how it says forward to 10 people or your future husband will never find you, or you will die in a week, ect. It is like then you wonder if that will really happen then you get all stressed out about it and then you remember that you are controling your life not that forward that you just got...

13. I was named after my mothers great great great grandmother... and all my other siblings as well have been named after someone in the family which i love and would like to do that with my kids some day.

14. I love my familys conversations at the table! They can be so amusing! My family makes me laugh so hard!

15. I have had quite a few nicknames in my life such as... Beebs, Auntie Beebs, Gracie, Gracie Pacy, Snickers, Poohy, G-Race, Woah-son, Pooh Bear, Miss. Questioner, and George!

16. I like to make up words to a song i am listining to on the radio or the CD, and have it make no since! (i like making myself laugh!)

17. I can tickle myself! If you wonder how?? i have no idea it is a natural talent i guess :)

18. I love my church! I am soo happy to be in it and i know it is the true church!

19. I am both shy and outgoing. It depends who i am with and where i am. people at school think i am quiet (oh look amanda i spelled it write!!!) then they see me at a football game or church and relize i am the exact oppisite it really depends!

20. I use to be afraid that when eatting crabs that they would become alive while i am eatting them.

21. When i was 5 my 3 brothers and sister convinced me that I was a frog at birth and that my frog parents got hit by my mom and dad and they saw me then they asked my fairy godmother to turn me into a pretty little girl. I was in tears from that. i went to go tell on them and my dad had just laughed... I was very upset on that day. (i still remember that story perfectly! you can ask me about if you wanna hear the story! haha!)

22. This is a little gross but i can crack my toes by just bending them...

23. I only watch chick flicks for 3 reasons... 1. because i like to cry after watching them it is like, then i can get over any problem i have at that moment. 2. i just like watching them because they are cute 3. beacuse i like watching the guys exspression when we watch a chick flick! ahha it is very funny!

24. I love and hate texting at the phone. It is a easy way to talk to someone if they dont answer their phone. But i dont like it because i like to hear peoples voices and emotions when they talk. other wise we might pick up what is said completely diffrent and then we think that something is wrong with the person when really they are perfectly fine! i just really like talking on the phone, not so much texting on the phone.

25. I love how i can tell my family anything i have on my mind! I can talk to them about anything and everything. My family is my best friends and i love them to death "your friends may be there for only a part of your life, but your family you are stuck with and will be with forever even after you die..." (i cant remember who said that but i love it!) My family, I am sure will always be close no matter what happens in life...

And that is me! :)
