   Hi guys! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while and I didn't post a video. It just wouldn't upload that night. May try another time.

So, Merry late Christmas! I got the things I wanted for Christmas! Although It was hard shopping together while in New York (We are in BG now) Everything was ok. We got home safe, opened presents, had Christmas dinner with all my family, and lots of other stuff. I got a scooter for Christmas, and today me and Taylor (At OHD) brought it to the warehouse and rode it up and down really steep and tall loading docks for trucks. We had our own little track set up. Ride down the loading dock, start the timer, go down a tunnel of garage door segments, do a hairpin turn, go down another hall, dodge boxes and tracks for doors and ride back up the dock. And it was fun. Me and Taylor both hold the best time as a tie. 9.9 seconds. Right now I have a 2 week break from school for the Holidays and I am getting ahead and hope to finish this year early for a longer summer.

Have a Happy New Year everyone! We might have some family over to watch the ball drop at midnight. I saw the ball in New York, many, many times. This is the first time they have let it stay up all year. They light it up only on special events. Like different Holidays, I saw it one time. I wish I could see it drop sometime in New York City. One of my goals is to push the big button to drop it. I saw that they added like one thousand lights to it the other day. And that it stays through snow, rain, and winds on top of a building. It is totally different that it looks on tv. It looks big on tv but its actually very small, and it looks like its on ground on tv when really its on top of a building with light up signs down it. And Olive Garden is hanging over time square with the ball on top of it. Its kinda awkward eating there because you feel people are looking at you. Haha.

This is one of my last blogs in 2009. So, my goal is to get the most comments I have ever gotten on one blog. I need to get 20 I think. Comment and get me there!

2009 was a good year. I blogged exactly 106 times. Keep commenting.

Signing off my 106th blog in 2009 and my last blog in '09. Haha. I am looking foward to a good year, more blogs, and my blog's one year anniversary on February 20th 2010! And before I go and sign off in the last hours of '09 I want to say I was trying to be cheesy in the last 3 paragraphs. Haha. I'm not a dramatic sap.

    Blizzard! Wooahh! Help! Cold! Freezing! Snow! PELTING SNOW! Ok, we are still snowed in, we are gonna leave tomorrow morning really early. Its really cold and there are snow plows everywhere. EVERYWHERE! There are snow piles about 9 feet high all over the place. I'm so temted to lick and eat it,  but that was an opportunity for yesterday. After a while (When your in NJ) It just turns to NJ snow. Which is gross obviosly. I mean, anyone who has been here knows that. It is so cool. I problably haven't seen this much snow in my entire life in BG than I have this past day. Another thing is that it is freezing. Its actually been kinda warm- until now.

This is a video of the snow outside and how much of a blizzard it was. I wish I could show you all so bad. It is like a huge tornado of snow outside with wind that makes the snow pelt. BAD. The camera was getting wet. So, I didn't video tape that long. Then I didn't have any memory on my camera so it ended. I then plugged in my camera and realized that I haven't uploaded it and deleted the pics since May or June. Sometime around then. I had 349 pics. 349! Anywhoo, just click on this video to watch it.

    Looks like we are snowed in for a few days. If you have seen the blizzard of 2009 as they call it, that is exactly where we drive home. We decided to pack yesterday so we could go home before the storm. We got about 3 hours out and Taylor's manager called and said she booked Saturday Night Live. We turned around and finally got to the hotel in NJ. We ran to Target to buy the things Taylor needed for the shoot and Dad and Taylor went to the city on the bus while mom and  me unpacked everything in the car. So, Tay got to 30 Rockefeller Center at 9:45pm (the time they were supposed be there) and  went to Studio 8-H! Tay saw the whole cast and filled out all her paperwork. Then, they cancelled the skit. At least she is on SNL payroll and will be in the show next season. She is so excited.

So, they got back to the hotel and we are now snowed in and will leave tomorrow maybe. Atleast we are here and not in the heart of the storm stuck on the interstate.

Comment! Internet was down and I couldn't post pictures on my last blog. Here are the ones I planned to post in my last blog.

   So. If I counted correctly earlier (Which I'm not sure I did) This is my 103rd blog. I think I counted under because I fogot to click previous and all this stuff.... It's just a long story. In just about 2 months my blog will have been going for about a year. I'm so excited (And I just can't hide it....)! It turns one in February.

But really I wanted to blog and say that Christmas is coming. We have most the presents up here (Like our car isn't crammed enough on the trip home). Ha. So I'm really excited about Christmas. And New Years. I go to my Dadaw Capps's house one night then my Dadaw House, then my uncles. Its gonna be so much fun being with everyone and my cousins! I can't wait to see what I get! I love Christmas! Wooot! Christmas! Christmas! Christmas! Yay! Thinking about posting some pics to show how my blog has changed and how it works.........

Here is some random pics of NYC. Mostly windows. Special windows. Read the captions by clicking on the photo and reading what I wrote at the bottom of the pic. Then, click near the top-right corner of the pic and then you should see the next one and its caption. And on and on........

   Hey guys. Took a break from blogging a while. And also, I deleted the photos page and the videos page. I am not stopping videos or pictures, though. They will be posted in my blog, so my site load faster. I saved the pages, so if I like my website and not just this mini-blog thing I will bring it back. This is just a test to see which way I like it.

So, we have been in NYC for about a week and Taylor has got one audition. We have been going to the 2nd largest mall in the USA a lot lately. We went Christmas shopping. That's about it. Taylor just got a audition this Wednesday. We are coming back sometime soon. Before Christmas, for sure. Can't wait!

Comment and let me know what you think about the website change and whatever else! Hehe!

    Hey guys! We stayed in KY for a while, now we are back in the city. Drove up here today. Wasn't that bad of a drive. Went real quick. Really snowy. All I have to say is there is a lot of snow going to BG. I was charging some of my electronics on the way up here, with one of those power inverters. I accidently kicked the negative and positive cord thingy on the edge, so I picked it up.... I didn't realize that it could fry my phone and the stuff plugged into it, or even short out the truck. I stuck it back together and a lot of sparks flew everywhere, most of which hit Taylor. It was so funny. She was ok though and I was happy to report it didn't mess up any of my stuff or the truck. We fixed it later and Taylor and I ducked when we plugged it in. Ha. We then stopped to shop some half way through the drive. When we got back on the road, all traffic stopped and we had to line up into one lane to get off a exit. They directed traffic through small streets to later get back on the interstate. Cops were everywhere running around it was so weird and we were trying to find out what happened. We found out when we turned one corner and saw a truck crammed under a semi truck. It was a terrible wreck.  Dad says if we wouldn't of shopped we would of been right where it happened. After we got through all the traffic and mess, we got in NJ and could see the  skyline. We are now in the hotel. Tay's manager knows we are here and is booking some auditions for her to go on.

Pray for the people in the wreck!
