It was cold this week. We all walked around in the sun in jeans and sweaters trying to stay warm. Then after a while you would get too hot and take your sweater off then you would just freeze again. It's back to being hot and sunny now.
At family scripture study we went over to our neighbors palapa that the boys are staying at while construction is going on to read. That's also where Mom's couch is so it works out good. I went to sit down in my usual spot and when I started sitting and reached behind me to move the pillow I touched something warm! It turns out that I sat on a possum! It just sat there staring at us with it's mouth wide open until Dad poked it with a stick and it ran away. It's in the pictures I'm putting up.
Lugar (the guard dog) is gone! :( He started barking at all the mexicans that ride here on their bikes to work and freaking them out. He hadn't actually bitten anyone but Sixto (chief of security) had to take him away to his house in Cancun. It's really strange not to be able to just go over there and take him on a walk or play with him. It's sad.
I'm sore all over my body. I've been getting Dad to teach me Hap-Ki-Do and it really stretches your leg muscules doing the kicks and stuff. Not only that, but me and Keltie were playing tag/hide-and-seek on our bikes and I totally wiped out. ( I'm blaming Keltie-she cheated) I skinned the top of my feet, got bruises up my leg and cut my knees, grazed my palms on the gravel as well as the top of my hand, and I cut my elbow. Not to mention I got all dirty. So inbetween Hap-Ki-Do and my bike crash I'm feeling it.
Locklin made a solar oven. He was so excited for friday when we could go get pizza so he could save the box to make it with. In the pictures he's cooking cookies. It didn't really work so we just ate the dough. Mmmm, cookie dough.

I don't know if I've mentioned that my Mom has a blog. It's http://www.crzy2go.blogspot.com/. That's also the licence plate that we wanted for the motorhome. We like the customized plates. My Mom's van is PRTYVAN. It can be either PARTYVAN or PRETTYVAN depending on if your a cop or not, LOL.
Keltie's is http://www.keltieczy2go.blogspot.com/.
I spend a lot of time with my sister so whenever I say WE that's who I mean unless I say otherwise and it makes sense.
WE have been spending a lot if time at the guard shack. On Saturday we spent 3 straight hours there talking to 2 security guards who don't speak English. We think that we've been kicked out of the restaurant. That's what Rodolfo (one of the waiters) was trying to say in his bad English. We're not exactly sure why or if we just have to limit our time there or what. We think that it's just Christina (Kalu's wife, Kalu owns the restaurant) not liking us. While I was in Canada Keltie asked her if it was okay for us to be there and she said it was fine. I think we need to talk to Kalu and get the real story in English because not being able to hang out with our friends sucks.
I did my hair straight yesterday. It took me a long time. It didn't even stay straight for very long because of the humidity. That it started raining didn't help. I redid it today and it's staying put way better. I like it when it's straight in a messy ponytail. I was getting a little bored with my all the time crazy curls.
Last Monday we went to Cancun on a whim and had lunch. It was really good. After that we went to see a movie, 10,000 B.C. at the theatre and man are their theatres nice! They had huge leather reclining chairs and it's still half the price of Canada! Me and Locklin shared a seat for the whole movie. His excuse was that he thought it was going to be scary. He is such a leech. But it's okay because he's an extremely cute one.
Our construction is going good. The boys had to be moved across the street to our neighbors palapa because the workers were getting cement on the tent that they were sleeping in outside. We moved the harp over there too. When we were in Cancun Mom found THE PERFECT couches so the next day they went back in a truck to get it. It's over there and I've got to say that they are pretty cool. They're in sections so you can rearrange them any way you want.
I AM GOING TO LEARN SPANISH!!!! I am seriously getting tired of not being able to understand and talk to people. I think that I'm going to sync my Dad's Spanish C.D'S to my MP3 player and listen to it before bed. I can add it to my bedtime routine!

Not too much has happened since I wrote last. Keltie was on springbreak and us 2 went to Yan Ten on our bikes everyday. I´m feeling extremely tan where I´m not burnt. One day we took Lugar (the guard dog) with us and we had a lot of fun. He was really good running next to us on our bikes and we brought his ball so we could chuck it into the ocean and play fetch. He started this game where he would get the ball then lay inbetween me and Keltie then dig this huge crater to bury his ball in. Keltie gave up trying to suntan when he tried to bury her.
We started construction! It feels like the workers are getting stuff done, they´re going to put the cement down on the ground tomorrow. Me and Keltie like to drive to the cornerstore and get them pop.
It was General Conference today. It´s the first one that I´ve ever seen without President Hinckley. We were able to attend the last General Conference in Utah. It´s nice that we got to see him at his last Conference betore he died, I´m really going to miss him. He´s the only prophet i´ve known although I like President Monson. He came to the Stake Centre in Calgary and I got to see him in person.
Me, Keltie, Mom, and Dad have a Smallville obsession. Mom got the first season for her birthday and now we´re on the fifth. I guess that there´s 6 seasons out and still going. It´s really sad when all you can talk about is Superman.
I cut my own hair. I´ve been wanting to all week but I´ve only been able to get Mom to let me yesterday. All I did was trim my layers and it wasn´t such a big deal.
That´s about it.
