<p>I can feel the uneasiness in LaPush since the Cullens went on their trip. Quil hasn't been around much due to his having to be on patrol a lot more. Same with everyone else too. As if the quarantine isn't enough stress as it is. It sucks. I had to have my 16th birthday with only my mom and sister and Quil. I mean it was nice and everything and I got to talk to Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam and everyone on the phone but it just wasn't the Sweet 16 birthday I had expected. I know that no one was…</p>
<p>I can feel the uneasiness in LaPush since the Cullens went on their trip. Quil hasn't been around much due to his having to be on patrol a lot more. Same with everyone else too. As if the quarantine isn't enough stress as it is. It sucks. I had to have my 16th birthday with only my mom and sister and Quil. I mean it was nice and everything and I got to talk to Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam and everyone on the phone but it just wasn't the Sweet 16 birthday I had expected. I know that no one was expecting this and it's not anyone's fault or anything. It's just a scary time in the world. I feel bad for my sister too. She had to finish her semester online and that wasn't easy with her biology class at all. She didn't finish the semester with all As this time and that really set her mood to bad. She's been grumpy for a couple weeks now. I hope, for everyone's sake, that this ends soon so we can all get back to our regular lives soon. I don't want to have to kill my grumpy sister but if this keeps up, I can't make any promises!</p>
<p>There's only so much Netflix I can watch. I just finished season 3 of Riverdale . I already watched all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, All of ANGEL, All of Supernatural, All of Vampire Diaries, All of Grey's Anatomy, All of Gilmore Girls and everything in between. I am so bored. Yeah, I'm lucky I love on the rez. I have the beach here but it's still way too cold and windy for that. I have some of the best hiking trails in all of Washington State, I know. We can go camping and fishing and hiking and all that. I know, I know. It's not that. It's the feeling of being restricted that is eating away at me. I can't go off the rez, I can't even just go over to Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam's to see Shay and the kids. I can't go hang out in town or even go shopping with Alice. I miss that. I am a free-spirit, I guess. The restrictions are making me crazy!!</p>
<p>Quil just got back from patrol and has news from the Cullens. They are in Italy for a few weeks and said to say Hello and tell us all they will be back as soon as possible.</p>

<p>I thought I would magically wake up on my birthday feeling older. Turns out, I feel the same, look the same, wear the same size clothes. I measured myself against my closet door and I see that I didn't really grow much since last year either. I guess I'm going to be about 5' 4" then.

I measured myself against my closet door and I see that I didn't really grow much since last year either. I guess I'm going to be about 5' 4" then. My sister, Connie, is 5' 6" and I would love to be as tall or taller than her but I guess I'm just the shrimp of the family. <br/>Mom made pancakes for me. They were yummy and cute heart shaped with strawberries! I don't really like maple syrup that much so I like putting a little but of sugar on them with some strawberries. So yummy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215716?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="375" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215716?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="375" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I LOVE PANCAKES!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I was happy that Quil came over for breakfast too. It's nice that my birthday was on a Saturday this year! I didn't have to go to school and I slept until 9!! It was so nice! Connie was here too and Uncle Billy and Tiffany stopped by with Aerie who I learned, also LOVES PANCAKES! They all brought me presents and it was just so nice and such a good surprise!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Aerie made me a finger painting that Tiffany folded in half and it looks like a butterfly! It's so pretty! I think it's my favorite present !</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Uncle Billy and Aunt Tiffany gave me a tin of my favorite cookies! She makes the BEST cookies!! They are shortbread with lavender and lemon. I LOVE THEM! Thank you Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Billy and Aerie!!! </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Mom and Connie gave me a PANDORA RING! It's a crown with a little diamond in the middle! That is so perfect for me! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150216037?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150216037?profile=original" width="640" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Connie said it suits me because I act like a little princess and like I own the place. I just smiled and agreed. It's so true!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ring under it is from QUIL! It's also from Pandora and it's got pink stones and is Stirling silver. It's so pretty they look perfect stacked like this. I swear I'm never taking them off! I had the best birthday ever!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thank you, Mom, Connie, Quil, Aerie, Uncle Billy and Aunt Tiffany! I love you all so much! xoxoxo</p>Spring Break!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2018-03-30:3404507:BlogPost:12148062018-03-30T01:35:59.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418
<p>Yay for Spring break! I totally am so done with algebra! I had a test today and I did ok on it but I am really tired of studying! I'm glad we have the next week off. Mom and Connie and I are going to do some spring cleaning and then go into Port Angeles for some spring clothes shopping! I am looking forward to getting a new dress or two. </p>

<p>Quil and I have been doing a lot of hiking lately. Tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful and I can't wait! Hiking has become one of my favorite things. I feel like when we're out there, we are free from everything! Quil is coming over for an early breakfast tomorrow. Mom is going to make pancakes!!</p>
<p>I don't have much to say other than this week is going to be awesome and I'll be sure to fill you in and keep you up to date with everything we'll be doing this week!<br/><br/></p>Happy Christmas, Everyone!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2017-12-25:3404507:BlogPost:12138942017-12-25T19:12:50.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418
<p>We don't really do Christmas like everyone else. It's more of a day to just kinda hang out with family, eat really good food and exchange a few presents with close family. We don't have a Christmas tree or anything like that but I always put up some sparkly lights in my room. I'm weird, I love Christmas music so I always have them playing in my room too.

I think we all like Christmas time. People seem to be more friendly and aware of each other. The rest of the year it seems like people bury their faces in their phone screens and don't really hang out together. I love the holidays because we do all get together and we talk and tell stories and have yummy food!<br/> I made cookies last night with Connie and her boyfriend. Quil came over too and we just had a nice night. We played Monopoly and watched Frosty the Snowman. </p>
<p>This morning Quil came over early and gave me a present he made for me. I LOVE it and will probably never take it off!'<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215620?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215620?profile=original" width="340" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p>For me, handmade gifts are the best gifts! He said it took him a long time to make this and I can see why! Do you see all the detail? It's BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Quilly!!!! I love you!</p>
<p>I made Quil's gift too. It took me ALL YEAR and let me tell you, keeping it hidden and a secret was almost impossible!</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215646?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215646?profile=original" width="500" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p>It's not easy to hide stuff from Quil! My art teacher was so nice and she let me work on it in class after I got all my classwork done. It took me since the beginning of school to get it done! I almost didn't finish it. She helped me with the Eyes. I just couldn't get them right by myself. I'm making him a frame for it too but he has to wait for that since we need to go out and find some drift wood. Jake said he'd help me make it in his shop and that's perfect for me!</p>
<p>Im going over Skylar's house tonight for dinner. Her family has a big dinner and I'm so excited! </p>Thanksgiving & Stuff!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2017-11-25:3404507:BlogPost:12125282017-11-25T16:23:23.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418
<p>We kinda do Thanksgiving differently here on the reservation. We do what we call a Harvest Festival. It's really fun! The boys do a cliff diving demonstration, there is a canoe race and a fishing tournament and then the big feast! Connie and I baked a ton of yummy stuff and it went so fast! Cupcakes and pies don't last long around here and neither do Emily's muffins!</p>

<p>Quil didn't win the canoe race and he was SO mad.. Jacob, of course, won AGAIN.. like the 5th year in a row or something. I don't know why they even have it coz we all know who's gonna win! Quil always says he'll get his revenge next year and that doesn't happen. It makes me giggle to see how competitive they all are even now when they are all done with high school and college!</p>
<p>Sue and Tiffany always do a lot of the cooking and Uncle Billy and I were babysitting for Aerie. She is getting so fast, she started running towards the water a few times and I wasn't sure I'd get to her before she ran in and got soaked. I was so tired that night. I don't know if it was from all the food we ate or if it was from chasing Aerie all over the beach! Thank goodness she isn't a kid who puts everything in her mouth. So many shells are on the beach this time of the year because of the higher tides. She must have brought me 100 shells! She is SO CUTE!</p>
<p>Quil is taking me hiking today. It's a little misty out but I love it. It's all part of living in the Pacific North West! We get a ton of rain so we don't let it get to us. We just go with it. Hiking in the rain can be a pain in the butt because it can get really slippery. I have my hiking boots on so that helps. Quil gets so over protective sometimes he insists on carrying me up hills. I actually pretend to mind but I don't mind at all! I'd rather not fall and get all muddy but it's more fun to make him think I mind!</p>
<p><br/>Gotta go, my Mom said I can't go with Quil until my homework and the dishes are done. UGH.</p>Halloween!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2017-11-04:3404507:BlogPost:12121912017-11-04T14:33:54.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418
<p>Quil took me to trick-or-treat around Forks and then we went back to the rec center for the party. It was so fun to see Aerie dressed up as a cute porcupine from SING. That kid loves to sing, I think she started singing before she even started talking! </p>
<p>I dressed up as Moana. I know.. I know.. but I just LOVE Disney movies and come on, Moana represents the Pacific Islanders and well, I might not be a Tropical Pacific Islander.. I'm still a Pacific girl so it worked for me! Quil…</p>

I'm still a Pacific girl so it worked for me! Quil dressed up too after I begged him for like 3 hours! He was so mad but ya know, you can't really have Moana without Maui, can you?</p>
<p>He wasn't too happy with the whole thing and I'm sure he won't stop complaining about it until he's 100 years old! </p>
<p>So here's me... I think it turned out great!</p>

<p>Quil refused to let us take pictures! I'm kinda mad at him about that but here's the costume. It had really cool tattoo sleeves and leggings too. My mom did a good job of getting his hair wild too but, again, no pictures. Quil can be a brat! I got lots of candy! I got so much that I decided to give most if it to Dr. Cullen to bring to the kids at the hospital. I think they should have something sweet to make them feel better. </p>
<p>Next year I am planning to be Miriam and Quil will be Indiana Jones. Too funny!</p>

<p>I'm getting ready and packing for Camp Kirby! I will be there from July 9th till the 15th. Quil is acting weird and grumpy because I'm going to be away for a few days, I kinda get it though. I will miss him too! I think he's going to be hanging out near by, if I'm honest! </p>
<p>Last week we went on the <a href="http://www.ultracamp.com/info/sessionDetail.aspx?idCamp=720&idSession=141536&campCode=vcd" target="_blank">Camp Kirby website</a> and I picked some activities to do. I want…</p>

I want to do the rock climbing wall but I really am excited to do the archery! I've been practicing archery with Quil for a few years and I'm really good at it! I can't wait to shoot arrows at camp! I've tried the rock wall at school but I think the one at camp is a lot higher. I'm going to love it! We also get to do some music, kayaking, camp fires and best of all, SMORES!</p>
<p>So far I packed my sleeping bag, a pillow, all my clothes, my toothbrush and toothpaste, my brush, a few wash cloths and soap. I have my towel packed and my 2 bathing suits, some sweats and Quil's hoodie. I have a rain coat, my mud boots and lots of extra socks too. It's probably going to rain, I'm realistic. It rains here a lot so I'm expecting a few rainy days. I have my camera and will take lots of pictures. I'm excited because Skyler and May are going too and we're all in the same cabin! I have to check with my mom to see if I'm supposed to bring anything else. Quil is on his way over. Its nice out and we're going for a hike with Kiah. She will miss me when I'm away!</p>

There's tons of stuff to do there and we get to sleep in these little cute cabins. I have been camping so many times that this is like a luxury! Cabins! Not that there's anything wrong with tent camping, because I love that too, but this will be totally new to me. I hope they have inside bathrooms because, yuck, I hate outhouses!</p>
<p>My mom is calling me downstairs. We're going to the grocery store then I'm going fishing with Quil!</p>

<p>I love cookouts! They are so fun and everyone stopped by to say hi, have some burgers and they brought cookies, brownies and all sorts of stuff. I dont like coleslaw or potato salad. That stuff is icky. Uncle Billy and Tiffany made homemade pickles and when Aerie took a bite she wasn't ready for how sour they are. You should have seen her face! I wish I was ready with my phone because that would be a great picture!</p>

<p>A lot of our elders are military veterans so we had a small parade this morning and it was nice to celebrate their service to our country. A lot of people don't understand the sacrifices that our veterans give every day with protecting our country. I am a very patriotic girl and I learned a lot about that this year in Social Studies class. Our country wouldn't be the best in the world without all of the veterans who served and protected us. My grandpa was in the Vietnam war a lot of my uncles and one of my aunts was too. I am very proud of them</p>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Anyway, Quil picked me up in his Jeep after <a href="http://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/AliceCulle" target="_blank">Alice</a> dropped me back off at home after our <a href="http://thecullensonline.ning.com/profiles/blogs/an-early-morning-trip-to-port-angeles-with-alice" target="_blank">shopping trip</a>. We headed to the Hoh Rainforest with is one of my favorite places ever. I have been hiking here with my family and Quil since I was a baby. I know a lot of the trails but I wouldn't want to go by myself. You can get lost real fast if you aren't paying attention.</span></p>

<p>First, we have today and tomorrow and Monday off from school. A long weekend which is great. Only reason I have off is because the older kids have some testing they're doing and they are all using our school. I'm fine with that!</p>

Alice laughed when I asked her and she said she has 'connections' ! It was so fun! I tried on some clothes and bathing suits and she ordered me two which I absolutely LOVE! I couldn't believe it! She got me both of them and some other cute stuff for when we go to swimming. Dr. Cullen, Alice and Emmett opened the pool the other day and it won't be long till I can wear these!</p>

<p>I had a doctor's appointment this morning so I'm going to be going to school a little late. One good thing is that my mom said we could stop and get coffee and hot chocolate after the appointment so that makes it kind of ok. I had to get a shot today. I don't even know what it's for, something that the school makes us get and so yeah, my mom got a notice that I didn't have it so if I didn't get it by today, I wasn't allowed to go to school.

Today is my actual birthday party so my mom is in the kitchen getting things ready. A few of my friends are coming over, my cousins and aunts and uncles and we're going to celebrate with some games and cake and supper! My mom's making sloppy joes for dinner with homemade french fries ! yum!</p>
<p>Last night we celebrated here with my sister, her boyfriend, my mom and Quil! Everyone was so nice and I am so excited because I finally got the mermaid tail blanket I have been asking for since last year! Isn't it awesome?</p>

And these on the floor next to my chair! My sister had them made for me so I wore them to school! Its pretty cool when everyone at school knows it's your birthday. I was kinda like a celebrity or something with everyone smiling and saying, "Happy Birthday, Claire!" I highly recommend you get a shirt like this for your 13th birthday too!</p>

<p>And wow is it sweet. It's kinda beyond sweet as in way too sweet. I can't really taste what it's supposed to taste like. Something like fruit, vanilla or I really don't know! It's not yummy like I expected. Coz look at it, it's just like so pretty! Pink, Purple and blue and has sprinkles of sugar on the whipped cream like glitter. It's prettier than it tastes. I'm going to go home and put it in the blender with some plain milk and a few ice cube and see if that helps. It's really just too sweet to drink like this.<br/>So, yeah. I'm totally excited to get it but it's maybe just too sweet! My mom said it's not as sweet as me! That made me laugh! <br/>So yeah, I have to go and get my homework started and help my mom set the table and make supper! </p>Sleepover with Shay!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2017-04-08:3404507:BlogPost:11796292017-04-08T20:19:57.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418

I'm totally taking one in my lunch on Monday if Quil doesn't eat them all first!</p>
<p>First we made the batter....</p>

<p>Yeah, that's Nutella. Quil lives for Nutella. He puts it on everything. I don't like it so I let him put it on his brownies. Yuck!</p>

<p>Why do I wake up at 5:30AM when I don't have to go to school? My mom says it's called 'Murphy's Law' and that means, basically, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Kinda funny but also really annoying since I could have slept till like 10AM ! Here it is 5:30 and I'm wide awake. The birds outside are so loud I guess that's what woke me up, I really don't know.

It's the last Friday of Spring break and Quil is coming over for pancakes at 9. I hope I can survive until then because I'm already hungry!</p>
<p>I got up and took a shower because my hair takes like 10 hours to dry. No, seriously.. 10 hours! It's so thick it takes forever! It's really foggy out and it's suppose to rain all weekend. Sure, of course. The last weekend of Spring Break and yeah, we get rain. I wish we could go someplace like Disneyland or Hawaii or someplace where it's not raining. I'm sick of it. I wanted to go hiking but it's so muddy and wet and cold that I think we'll just hang around here and make brownies and watch movies or whatever. Maybe we can go get ice cream later. I don't know.</p>
<p>I'm wide awake and so bored. Thank goodness they don't give us homework over Spring Break or I would be freaking out, last minute trying to get it all done. It was a good week. I was so totally lazy and I think I ate a record amount of brownies and french fries! The last day of school is June 14th and it can't come fast enough. I'm already ready to be finished! I have so many plans for summer! I want to go camping and I want to go to Seattle to go shopping! That's the most important!</p>

<p>So yesterday I went to Alice's Birthday party. It was awesome! I'm not sure who decorated but yeah, they can come do my birthday party! I loved the flowers and balloons! The balloons were huge and round and had dim flashing lights in them to make them sort of glow. It was so cool! They had cupcakes, brownies, cookies and for lunch there was chili, Texas toast and chips and salsa. Texas toast is this huge chunk of bread that was totally covered in garlic butter.

I'm going to ask my mom if we can make it sometime because it was awesome!</p>
<p>Quit had a good time too talking to Emmett and some of the guys from the res. There was also music and some games but I was too busy looking at all the decorations to go outside and check all that out. <br/> Alice got some pretty awesome presents! She got this cool vintage pink and green bike with a really pretty basket on it. So cute! She got a jewelry holder I made in ceramics class and some jewelry and other great stuff. She always is so happy and I think she loves being with all her friends and family a lot. She seems like she'd be a really good party planer or social events manager.<br/> I LOVE how Alice dresses and her shoes are always the cutest! I think I'm going to ask her about my hair and make up. My mom gets all grumpy when I tell her I want to wear make up but I'm almost 13 ! I wear make up sometimes but I'd love it if Alice could show me how she does hers so perfectly! It looks like she was born that way!</p>
<p>So at the end of the party Carlisle gave us all little pastry boxes so we could take sweets home! I got to bring a box with 2 cookies and 2 cupcakes to share with my sister.</p>

<p>We're having supper with Billy and Tiffany tonight. I'm so excited because that means I get to play with Aerie! I know she's like 2 years old but she's so cute and funny! I love going there too because they have a sweet kitty named Snickers and my mom is not into cats, like at all. She says cats and dont mix. I think they would be fine. I want a cat!!</p>
<p>We're having some kind of chicken and rice and vegetables. Mom and I are bringing brownies that we made! They're still warm and gooey!…</p>

<p>Last night we went to the diner then to see Lego Batman. I thought it was so funny! My favorite character is Robin. He's just silly and a little bit awkward and that makes him funny! I love playing with Legos. Quit has this huge Star Wars thing he built and I remember once I touched it and it like exploded. He got so mad I thought he was going to kill me but he didn't! Still now there are two pieces still missing. Tell me how the heck if you break something do the pieces go missing and you…</p>

Still now there are two pieces still missing. Tell me how the heck if you break something do the pieces go missing and you can't even find them and it's like right here in the room you are in? So weird. Some piece of a gun thingy and a wheel or something. I don't know. </p>
<p>Anyway, oops I got off subject! I was telling you about Lego Batman! Ok so the movie is good! I liked it a lot and wouldn't mind seeing it again! There's tons of stuff to look at and it really does look like the whole thing is actually made out of legos! Can you imagine how long that had to take them to do? I mean when I make stuff from legos, you have to follow the instruction book and everything and one little thing takes like 2 hours. I don't know how many people had to work on that to make it but it's really good!</p>
<p>Quit is really into a tv show called Gotham which is supposed to be Batman as a kid.Batman as a kid seems weird. I have only watched a few minutes of a couple of the episodes. Quit doesn't think it's appropriate for my age. Sometimes he's over protective and it's annoying but I love him anyway. He just got here and we're going hiking up behind Second Beach and then up to the cliffs to take pictures. It's not raining but it's so cold so I have to go get ready now. bye!</p>We're making slime!!tag:thecullensonline.ning.com,2017-02-25:3404507:BlogPost:11731802017-02-25T01:20:29.000ZClaire Younghttp://thecullensonline.ning.com/profile/ClaireYoung418
<p>Ok guys, this is so fun and gross and cool!</p>
<p>We're making SLIME with glitter!</p>
<p>Here's what you need...</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Clear Glitter glue</li>
<li>1/2 cup of liquid starch (approximate)</li>
<li>Food coloring</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 1</h2>
<p>You can either use the pre-glittered glue , or you can use regular Elmer's school glue and add your own glitter. I've found that if you use the really fine grain glitter it's the best! I've also used chunky glitter and confetti shapes too.…</p>

<p>You can either use the pre-glittered glue , or you can use regular Elmer's school glue and add your own glitter. I've found that if you use the really fine grain glitter it's the best! I've also used chunky glitter and confetti shapes too. It just depends on how you want it to turn out.</p>
<p></p>
<p><span>First you will need 1/2 cup of liquid starch. Then add your glue. Start stirring then add a drop or two of food coloring- I usually use a whole 4 ounce bottle of glue for each recipe. If the recipe is too thin and not yet like slime, you should add more, starch.... one teaspoon at a time. Stir each time you add and then stop when you have the right texture. Once it’s all mixed up, you have to knead the dough. The more you knead the less sticky it becomes until it's no longer sticky and just perfect!</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Most important- store your slime in a plastic container with a tight lid or it will dry out. If you get it on your clothes like I have, a million times. Just quickly get them off and soak them in water for a while then wash them right away in the washing machine. It's just glue and starch. It comes out. If you use food coloring though, don'<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215551?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3150215551?profile=original" width="640" class="align-full"/></a>t play with it with good clothes on. You might stain something and make your mom REALLY mad.</span></p>
