Linda Ann Buxton

This is my Dad's Mom, my Nanny. She died today. She was only 62 years old.
Both my Grandma Barton and my Nanny have the middle name of Ann.
So.....they named me Amanda Ann after them. She loved it when I would rub her back.
She loved to make and eat lasagna, everyone else loved it when she made lasagna too!
I will miss her. I will miss laughing and joking with her.
I love you Nanny!

The First Day of School!

Monday, August 23rd, 2010! Also known as the first day of school! It was my little brother Andrew's first day of 1st grade, Riley's first day of 6th grade, and My first day of 8th grade! Well
I don't know much about the boys day except that it was "Great" and "Awesome".

Well my day was BORING! We went over the rules and disclosures in each class, except Math and Science where we took tests! In Science my teacher wanted us to write five questions each for Physics, Ecology, and Chemistry. Here's what I put for all of them "How are we supposed to know what Physics, Ecology, and Chemistry are?" Not really, I just put random questions. Then he gave us a quiz to determine which home we would be in. Did I mention he is obsessed with Harry Potter? In Math my teacher gave us a sheet with about fifty times tables to do in the last three minutes of class time!

During the day we usually go to first through fifth period then lunch. But today was different. We went to all seven classes, then lunch, then advisory. Lunch had about eight hundred kids talking, and shoving for a place in line. Can you imagine? I'm deaf now! We usually have two lunches so there isn't so much confusion. I don't understand why the first day can't be like any other. Anyway things usually calm down after the first day and we can learn in peace.

The latest on.....ME!

Well, I had surgery a few weeks ago where the dentist cut open my mouth and connected a chain to a perminant tooth that isn't coming down. Yesterday the chain came undone from the tooth! My mom and I went to the dentist to ask what needs to be done to fix it. Well, I need to do the surgery all over again. Bummer, huh?



On top of that my grandma is in the hospital with colon cancer, and her liver is failing. On the bright side I have a great family who has supported us.



My grandma is a great lady! When I was little she would take me to the Nutcracker. And once a year I would spend a week with her and help her clean her house, after that she would take me to a movie and dinner. I loved to go to her house and swim with my cousins. She taught me how to make baked beans you know! I'll miss her but I know that she's up in heaven watching over me and my family. Now I have more reasons to be good and be able to get where she is.

Sleeping Over At Uncle Mason's!

The other day my little brothers Andrew, Riley, and I slept over at our uncle Mason's house. We first went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. Yum! Then we went to his house and our Aunt Gina was there! We went inside and played bongos and ate Twix that Gina had brought. After that we went downstairs to watch Anastasia.

Then around midnight we went to the store to buy biscuits and gravy for our breakfast the next morning. That's a fun tradition that we do every time we sleep over!

Then when we got home Gina was gone and we all fell right asleep! We don't usually stay up till midnight!

The next morning we went to his pool and played until our mom came to get us! Gina came that morning to swim with us!

We had a ton of fun and are excited to do it again! Soon, I hope!
