May May May!

Aren't you glad that Summer is almost here? I sure am. A lot of you are probably already out of school or almost, but I'm not :( I got to do math throughout the Summer because I am WAY behind! I am also going to do other school too, because although I am already a grade ahead, I want to get another grade ahead. Then, I'll graduate when I'm 16!!!! But if I do that, I'm not going to go to college right after. I'd wait until the next year.

Anyways, since I haven't posted since the end of April, I got to fill you in with everything May:

May 3rd
That day was a friend of Luke's b-day. His name is Tad, and he was turning 18. He invited some of his friends (including Luke) to a big birthday/graduation party/dance. So Luke's girlfriend came over sometime that day (can't remember what time). We (me, mom, Luke, Adam, and Luke's friend Craig) drove down (1 1/2 hourse) to get Stephanie and her sister Allison.

The ride home was fun :) I "stole" Craig's phone and was texting Stephanie, even though she was like 2 (maybe) feet away. But it was fun :) Here's a pic of Steph, Luke, and Craig (weird pic, but funny. it's the background on this computer :D) Oh, and a pic of Steph






























When we got home, we hung out for a while, then Luke, Stephanie, and mom (the spy over Luke and Steph) left to to go Tad's house to hang out with everyone befrore going to the dance. A little before the dance part of Tad's party, Luke and Steph came home to get ready. Here are some pictures I took before they left, and some that mom took at the dance/party:




















Aww what a cute couple :)



















All the guys except one at the dance. Luke is the 2nd from the left, then the middle dude (next to luke) is Tad - the birthday boy - then his friend Wesley, and the one on the right is Tad's 14 yr old bro Holt, who is Adam's friend.















Steph and Al got to stay until 10:00pm when their dad came to pick them up :)



May 7th
PROM NIGHT FOR LUKE AND STEPH!!!!!!!!!!! :D Stephanie and Allison (and their parents) spent the night that night because prom didn't end until midnight, so it would be like almost 2 in the morning if they drove home that night.

So they came over (and Craig too), and we hung out for a while. I can't really remember all what happened, so I'll skip to prom time. So when it was time to get ready for prom, Steph and her mom went into the guestroom to get ready, and Luke went upstairs to get his suit and stuff. When Steph came out of the guestroom in her AWESOME dress she got for FIVE DOLLARS (!!!!) I was like :O she looking really pretty!!!!! See:

It was like really sparkly and REALLy pretty. Pictures don't do it justice. Here are some more pictures, before and at the prom:

Luke and Steph right outside our house



















A funny prom pic



















Are ya comin or am I going to the prom myself?"



















Luke attempting to open the box to the wrist flower thing (forgot what it's called)















Luke giving it to Stephanie (I love this pic!)















Stephanie showing it off






















They didn't get back from prom until a little after 12. Then Me, Luke, Adam, Steph, and Al stayed up till 2:30 in the morning by the computer (cuz that's where me and Al were) talking and stuff. LOL I at first wrote "steph" instead of "stuff" :P Then the next day they had to leave at like 11 something :( but it was still a lot of fun :)






May 8th
Game night!! So our youth group went bowling and out to pizza. One of the girls in our youth group (also my friend *smiles*), Saylor (nickname) turned 15 that day! So she had a good birthday, lol.



First we went to Cici's for pizza. I sat at the table with Craig, Miley*, Julie*, Tad, Holt, and Tad and Holt's two lil sisters Shae and Jade. At one time when Craig got up for something, all of us poured salt, pepper, cheese, pizza crust, and other various things in his drink. And he came back and I think we told him. Saylor said she'd give him $5 if he drank some of it. And he did! But he said he didn't think it tasted any different lol. And Saylor gave him her five bucks. I videoed it too, here:



Craig is the one that drinks it (of course), I'm filming (also of course), Tad is over there next to Craig, and when I turn the camera to that girl, yeah that's Saylor.


We kept trying to sing happy b-day to Saylor, but she kept running away, so finally, our youth pastor Brian came over there and put his hands on her shoulders so she couldn't move; and we all sang happy birthday -- LOUDLY. Like REALLY loud. And everyone was staring at us and Saylor's face turned all red it was FUNNY! But unfortunately I forgot about my camera and didn't get it on film :( This is Brian's version of happy b-day:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Saylor L** (last name)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Saylor L**
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SAYLOR L** WHO'S SINGLE AND LOOKING.... (he sang that really loudly and Saylor turned even redder :P)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!


It was so funny I wish I got it on film.


After that we went bowling. We took up 3 lanes. I bowled with Julie, Jade, Shae, and Mrs. Andrea (Brian's wife). Miley and Saylor are just weird, and they didn't bowl. Miley just did facebook stuff on her ipod touch (I want one!) and Saylor just talked to anyone who wasn't bowling right then.


I came in 2nd on my "team" or whatever it's called. Julie was first, Mrs. Andrea 2nd, and then Jade and Shae. I was surprised that Jade beat Shae, because Jade is 6 and Shae was almost 9 (she turned 9 on the 17th). Holt was the best bowler out of everyone. He got like 140 something I think. Maybe more idk.




May 9th
Me, Luke and Craig went to Luke's friend Alexis' graduation. After the graduation and after we said hi and 'congrats!' to Alexis, Luke, Craig and I went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. Then we went home.


Also, that day and the next day I pet-sat a couple of labs that live a few minutes away. Their names are Eve and Sadie:

































I also pet-sat for Caleb and Jeremy's family while they were in Washington D.C. Her are all of their dogs:

Duchess (she smelt like a skunk the whole time)

Clancy (he was pretty shy)



















Fluffy "Fluffers" (I pet-sat him and his mom and his siblings when they were just a few days old once. They stayed in my closet)


















Sugar (who was in this position a lot. She LOOOVES attention. Just like the rest of them who all wanted my attention at the same time! Boy that was hard lol. I wish I had 4 arms :P)

May 16th

That day the animal shelter I volunteer with, had an adoption day at the Wal-mart in the town/city that I live in so I went. They usually have it in the or city that's like 30 minutes away, so I don't usually go. They didn't really need my help, but I stayed anyways to see the dogs. I mostly petted this one dog named Marzi that I really want to foster. Two dogs got adopted that day; a cute puppy named Cyan, and a really fun, happy, hyper dog named Armas. Also, they raised $450 in donations!!!!!! I took a bunch of pictures of the dogs, but I haven't uploaded them yet, and I can't find my camera...so I'll post those pictures later.

May 17th

Shae's b-day! I didn't have anything to do with her b-day or do anything, I just wanted to say that she turned 9 that day. lol. Do you remember when I told you that I had taken 3 eggs from the Canadian geese Edmund and Jessa? Yeah well they didn't hatch :( Neither did Edmund's and Jessa's. I think their's got eaten. Madonna's eggs didn't hatch either.. but her's are still there.

The reason why I'm typing about the eggs on this day is because I threw them out. I gave one to Jesse which she ate, and the other two me and Adam threw against a tree :D it was so cool! But then when I saw Jesse eating her egg, Adam realized there was A gosling in that egg!!!!! But by then it was too late. I was SOOOOOO sad and mad at myself for not waiting a little longer :(:(:( I wish I had. Then I would have a little gosling!!!! *cries*

May 19th

My mom's piano recital!! We had it at the church. I wasn't going to play anything, but then mom pointed out that if I didn't it would have been my first time since I was 5 that I wasn't in a piano recital!! And I couldn't have that! So I decided (the day OF the recital, lol) that I ws going to play a song. I had been playing "Teardrops on My Guitar" (on the piano lol) lately, but I wasn't quite good enough at it for the recital, but I played it anyway. I did okay, but even though it was my 9th recital, I was FREAKIN nervous! I think I FELT more nervous than I really was. I couldn't calm my body down. OMG I'm stiffining up and I feel nervous just typing this!! I'm even sweating! LOL! Anyways. I got up there (Later Luke said that I was really shaking) and I started to play. It was really hard cuz my arms were stiff and I was like.. idk freaking out lol. I kept telling my body to calm down, that it was not big deal, and I was fine, but my body wasn't! It was still stiff and freaking out lol. But my mind was mostly calm. That probably doesn't make sense to you, but idk how else to word it. I was just happy I didn't trip on my way up to the piano or my way back to my seat lol.

My mom filmed it, but like I said I can't find my camera so I can't post the video up yet. But when I find it, I'll post it on here :)

Sometime in there (I forgot when) we..... GOT A TALKING BIRD NAMED TRACEY!!!!!! I don't know what kind of bird she is other than a noisy one. She mostly says "good morning tracey" over and over. But it's pretty hard to understand her :( it just sounds like she's trying to talk while gargling water lol. I'm trying to teach her to say "Shut up Tracey" so she'll be sittin there and say to herself "Shut up Tracey, shut up tracey" :P lol

I'll post more about her later, and pictures of her once I find my camera. So I guess I'll hopefully post again soon!

Until next time, my friends!
