Day with my grandparents

I just posted a post because I was tagged, so you can read that below this post. But I decided to go ahead and post about my day yesterday with my grandparents before I.... don't. So, here I go!

Grandpa (mom's dad) and Grandma (my moms step mom) came over at about 11:30. We sat in the living room and talked for a few, then we decided to go out for lunch. We drove to a mexican resteraunt (I got a hamburger :D) and yeah. After we ate, me and my brothers went to the new ATV store right next door. I forgot to say that before we left the house, I put on Grandpa's AWESOME tie. It is like a zipper kind of thing.. you pull the small part to tighten it, and just pull the reg part of the tie down to loosen it. It ROCKS! I wore it all day yesterday, and today.

That's what Adam actually wants, not the pink fourwheeler ;P

So when we left there, we went to the bank so mom could get some money out of Luke's account to pay her back for money he borrowed. BTW, Luke left after the ATV store to go to his german classes.

After that, Grandpa drove to ******ville (can't say where!). While we were there, we stopped by the feed store to get some horse feed for Valley. Then I begged to drive around on some old country roads. And we did! We went down this one road, and then from then on, we didn't pay attention to where we turned, and we just drove. It was so pretty outside and it was so much fun!! We passed by some animalless-rolling-hills farm, which were really pretty.
See?





































When we finally got back to ******ville (we made a circle sorta), I made a comment wishing for ice cream. I guess wishes really do work.. because we went to Baskin Robins!

I forgot that before we went on the country roads, we stopped by another place that sold golfcarts.

And Grandpa pulled over when he saw a fourwheeler for sale

Adam on the fourwheller that had HUGE wheels

This was in the "yard" (or whatever it is called) of the business that had the fourwheeler out front for sale. Ain't it cool? I wish I got a picure of the front of it..

Until next time, my friends!

Merry Belated Christmas!!

Before you handcuff me and throw me in jail, I can explain!! Honestly, I can. :) I had to hurry up and pack and stuff on Christmas day cause we were going to see our grandparents (we call our Grandma, Nonnie btw). It took 4-5 hours to get there, so it was dark by the time we got there I was really tired. We watched tv for a few minutes then decided to open our presents.

None of our other family came (too far away) and Nonnie didn't even have a Christmas tree. It wasn't much of a Christmas.. we usually would be visiting our other grandparents, for a fairly big Christmas, but their in Utah on a mission trip, and they won't be back until Febuary, so we didn't get any presents from them this year :( Nonnie handed me my present and Adam his, and Mom hers. Adam opened his, and it was a remote control helicopter (NOT actual size :P). I took a while, and finally opened mine. It was an awesome pair of shoes!! I would have taken a pic, but my camera broke AGAIN (for the 4th time) so I'm getting a new one, and it hasn't come in yet. :( So i'll just put a pic of a shoe that's like mine that I got off the internet:

Well, that's what they look like, cept mine are darkish blue, and they look better :) Yesterday, me, Adam, Nonnie, and Mom went to Wal-mart, and I got some cool jeans that came with a belt and an AWESOME hoodie! When I get my camera, I'll take a pic and show it to you :) Adam got 2 pairs of jeans (one came with a belt :P) and a cool t-shirt. I couldn't find any good shirts for me at Wal-mart :'( but I was lovin my hoodie! It is SOOO warm! Thin, but WARM!

Then we came home and at some point we had our "day after Christmas dinner" :P. After dinner, me and Luke needed to get away so we headed to the little town. It was dark, and a strange place, but oddly.. we didn't get lost :P. Anyways, we stopped at 'Hastings' which is a movie/CD/book/magazine store. Me and Luke looked at CD's for a few mintues, and finding none we wanted, went our seperate ways. Not sure where he went... but I went...around looking for a book to buy. I REALLY wanted the 2nd Twilight book (I've only read the 1st one, and I couldn't wait till Wednesday to borrow it from my friend), but it was $20 and I only had $14. :( I spent an hour looking for a book, and I finally found one in the Christian section.

It's called "Every Now & Then" by Karen Kingsbury. I didn't know it until I bought the book (which cost $17... I borrowed a few from Luke :D), but it's the last book in a series of three books... I've read 4 chapters, and it's pretty good so far! Here is the description of the book:

'A wall went up around Alex Brady's heart when his father, a New York

firefighter, died in the Twin Towers. Turning his back on the only woman

he ever loved, Alex shut out all the people who cared about him to concentrate

on fighting crime. He and his trusty K9 partner, Bo, are determined to

eleminate evil in the world and prevent tragedies like 9/11.

Then the worst fire season in California's history erupts, and Alex faces

the ulitmate challenge to protect the community he serves. An

envromental terrorist group is targeting the soul, Alex is

determined to infiltrate the group and put an end to their

corruption. Only the friendship of Clay and Jamie Michaels - and the

love of a dedicated young woman - can help Alex drop the walls around

his heart, and move forward into the future God has for him.'

Sound interesting? I thought it did. The book actually caught my attention because there is a dog on the cover of the book :P then I read the description and thought it sounded really interesting, so I bought it! When I finish the book, I'll do a book report on my writing blog. It has a pretty cool cover. Here's a pic of it I found on google images:

Anyways, today I slept in as usual, and when I got up, I ate breakfast (capn' crunch) and got on the computer (the laptop. we brought it with us) and was typing up this post until the battery went dead, and I couldnt get the charger to work. So I called Mitch and we talked some, and she told me about a book she read, and then I had to eat lunch (a late lunch) so I got off the phone, and ate lunch and got back on the laptop (I got the charger to work. it just needed to be reajusted..). Then I continued on this post and that's about it!

Well, I don't have anything else to say, so I think I'll sign off blogger for a while, call Mitch back, and play the song "Seventeen Forever" by Metro station, cause it's stuck in my head and I really like that song :P TTYL!

Bloggin out,
