February 1st!

OMB, can you believe it's February already?? I can't! Oh my gosh, I can't wait till Summer. I'm so overwhelmed with school. . . . . anyone else feelin this yet??

Guess who's birthday it is today? My new youth pastor's! He turned the big 3-0. Guess who's else's birthday it is today? My cousins! I think he turned 23. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's right. Anyways, Wednesday, we (youth group and youth pastor's wife, Sara) had a little surprise birthday party for our youth pastor, Dan. He's in love with superheros (especially Spiderman), so Sara got him a Spiderman cake :P i must say, it was deeeeelicious! And we all huddled together for a picture:

Well, that's most of us.. see me!? I'm the one kneeling on the ground beside Dan (he's the one making a funny face and wearing a plaid shirt). I'm making the number "30" with my hands, he he. Dan and Mrs. Lynn tried that but got it backwards, haha.

Oh, there was a little ice storm a couple nights ago and we got ice (looks like snow, but aint) all over the ground. I took a lot of pictures, and you can see coming up soon on my picture blog, and I will post some on this blog too, but not tonight. It's late, and I'm supposed to be finishing up a book report due tomorrow morning for English class... So I better get going. BTYL! (Sorry for stealing that Mackenzie, it's just catchy :D hope ya dont mind!)

Until next time, my friends!

Cousins and stuff!

Hey! Happy almost Thanksgiving!

It's actualy probably Thanksgiving and past now that you're reading it. And technically it is Thanksgiving day, because it's like 12:50 am... But anyways... My cousins Ben and John and Uncle Gary came in today from Minnasota!! :) They stay over at our grandparents house right next door. Unfortunatly, this year my FAVORITE holiday is going to be TINY!! The only people coming to our house for Thanksgiving is Ben, John, Uncle Gary, our grandparents, Uncle Glenn and my cousin David, and my brother's girlfriend and her sister :( that's IT! I am SOOO bummed. But I'll get over it.. eventually...

So here are some pictures I took earlier with my cousins at my grandparents house:

John and Me being weird. Im wearing his NCIS hat :) I want one..

A lil more normal picture

Ben and Adam at the table eating nuts

Me and the hat I really want! Hey guys, Christmas and my

b-day are coming up soon *wink*

Yesterday, my mom and I sat down and made some stuff to go in Bella's cage so she can jump around on or whatever. We looked at some pictures online and made this thingie (the purple one):

Ok, not a good picture, I admit. Its like a peice of material with a hole on top so she can crawl in, and then another material thats bigger and hangs down a little bit that she can crawl through or sleep in there or whatever. It's open on two ends, though, so she can get out there.

The green thing has elastic on the sides, and mom made it a while ago to go around the bird cage to keep stuff from "spilling" out, but she accidently forgot to double it, so i put it in Bella's cage :P It's kind of like a hammock/trampoline because of the elastic.

There she is, poking her wittle head out of the hole :P

Oh, the other day, I got these really cool socks i love! :) check 'em out:

Pretty sweet, huh?

I'll be posting more soon!!!!!!

Oh, Friday, my family (minus dad), Ben, John, (i guess theyre dad too), Stephanie, Allison, and i THINK that's all, are going to the zoo!!!!!!! They just got a new exhibit with Wolves (LOOOVE) and Grizzly Bears and I dunno what else. I can't wait to go!! The wolves and bears are just babies. But because it's a new exhibit it's expensive.. but whatever we'll manage :) I'll definetly bring my camera and I'll be sure to post them up here for all o' you to see :)

Until next time, my friends! Please comment.

I love that. Just for the record *wink*

Thank You American Soldiers!!!!!

Dear American soldiers,

Thank you so much for serving in war for our country. Thank you for putting your life at risk, (and for some) dying for America. Thank you for unwillingly leaving your family and going to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight. Thank you so much.
And thanks to all of you veterans who have served in the military.

I pray for you often. For your safety, and for all of you to return home soon. Thank you, and God bless you all!!!!

IT'S TODAY TODAY TOADY!!!

What is today? The day my bff Jana comes to visit for the first time since last summer!!! I can't wait! I can't wait! Her whole family is coming at 6pm and staying for dinner, and then they all leave except for Jana and her older brother :) (the older brother is good friends with my older brother, Luke).

We are going to have a lot of fun :) Don't worry, we'll post while she's here so you can know what we're doin that is so fun :) OMG! Lol I just looked over at my rabbit that I put back in the cage after letting her run around awhile, and she is sitting there, staring at the wall with a VERY evil look on her face! Lol! it looks so funny. The black fur around her eyes doesn't help lol. Just makes her look more evil. A solid white bunny with pink ears, a fluffy stub of a tail, and "emo" black "eye-shadow" around her eyes lol. Ha ha my bunny is emo. Emo Lily. Emo Lily Bunny.. ok i'm done.

A little while ago, I took my kitten's litterbox (she's an outside cat/kitten now so she doesn't need it) and transformed it into a bed with scrap material and I put it on the porch for her to sleep in. Don't worry I washed it first. But right now she's sleeping on the grill on the porch where here food was.. but I moved her bed, food, and water beside the grill under a chair..

Ok well that's really all I got to say for now, so talk to you guyz's later!!!


Until next time, my friends!

P.S. I did not just now take that picture, but doesn't Lily look so evil there?

I'm home!

I'm home from Arkansas!! How much did y'all miss me? Well I missed home! Especially my pets and my room to escape to to get some alone time. I love my cousins and family, but I like being alone sometimes. Especially when I'm reading (I bought the Eclipse, the third Twilight book to read a second time plus more and I've been readin that).


Yesterday, my dad took all of us girls (me, Allison, Stephanie, my 2 cousins Haley [12], and Lauren [10]) and Luke to Wal-mart because I wanted to buy Eclipse, and mom was sick (she was sick the whole time! And still doesn't feel well *frowns*). Last night, me and Haley were in the closet (for light) reading lol. She was reading New Moon, and I was reading Eclipse. Then this morning, me, Al, and Haley laid in bed reading. Al-Twilight, Haley-New Moon, me-Eclipse lol. :P we just needed someone to read Breaking Dawn! But I don't got that one yet.. But I've borrowed it from a friend so I have read it..


Ok, for those of you who aren't fans of the Twilight saga, I will move on.. My aunt's boyfriend Nick writes a lot of songs and he sung and played (on the guitar) a bunch for him. He's REALLY good! We all sat in the mostly dark listening to him play. It was really nice. We all said we wanted to buy one of his CD's when he gets one. He said he's working on it :) One song he played that I think he wrote, was called To Do List and it was upbeat and we all really liked it! Like he sang for each day what he was going to do, and one was "Friday, I'm gonna burn this list" lol that was funny.


We also played volleyball (not in the pool this time) in the yard, and that was a lot of fun! Someone on my team hit the ball over and it hit my dad.. and he bent over and my grandma (right behind him) served the ball and it hit his butt! It was SO funny! That happened several times today when some of us were playing in the pool. Well not in the butt since that was in the water.. but in the head and all kinds of funny stuff happened.


My brother Adam is staying at my grandparents along with my cousin Reid (the rest of his family went home this morning) until Wednesday, when my grandparents are bringing them here. And Reid is gonna stay with us for the rest of the week I think, and I don't know after that lol. Also, my bff Jana is... GOING TO BE HERE TOMORROW OMG I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!! I haven't seen her since last August cuz she lives 22 hours away!! She gets to stay here until FRIDAY!! Then the next week she goes to camp and when they leave...this state... and go back to...their state... me and Luke are probably going with them and flying back home!! That's sorta what we did last August... Me and Luke flew (by ourselves. then i was 13, and he was 16 but we ages a year lol) to...Jana's state... and flew back. That was fun. but kind of scary cause that was our first time flying alone and we had to take two planes.. so at one airport we were ALONE.


Well i was talking to my friend on the Internet, and one of us mentioned ice cream.. so I'm going next door (grandparents live next door in case you forgot or didn't know) to get some :D So ttyl!


Oh, by the way, I'm going to be posting about youth camp... soon. :)



Until next time, my friends!
