Vacation Part 2

Hey! Here is part two of our vacation. I still will have to post part three later.... and another for Grandma Marie's 100th birthday!!! But here is how our vacation went...As you may or may not know Mom had to take a trip to the emergency room for her kidney stones. She got some pain medicine and passed it the next morning. She is fine now and has been drinking lots of water.

Of course this isn't the real thing. We went back to the hospital to act it out.

Here she is... in horrible pain.

We saw a big bird on the beach and it was very cool.

Alex, cooling off in the waves.

For lunch we went to The Back Porch, which was a restaurant on the beach. It was SO good, and they had yummy shrimp.

This was our view from our table. PRETTY!!!

Here was Dad and Alex....

Mom and Me!!!

This was a very pretty side walk behind our hotel that was lined with palm trees.

Here was the inside of The Back Porch.

This was one of the palm trees looking at it straight up!

The rest of the afternoon the boys hung out while us girls went shopping. Then we went back to the beach for a swim. After we finished swimming we cleaned up and went mini golfing.

It was a really neat course that had pretty trees and landscaping. Here is mom getting ready to hit!!!

Mom and Dad!

Alex...

They also had a HUGE giraffe!!! Here is me looking at it!

Alex and I were really little compared to it.

Here is Dad telling us the size of the wave and us getting hammered by it.

This is our family by the beach.... the last morning in Florida we all got in and swam!

This is me!

Then we packed up our things and headed to OPELIKA!

One more mini golfing picture of Dad and Me.

The Zumbiels took us to look at the Auburn swimming pool...

and football stadium....

And baseball field, where Alex thinks he might like to play!

We also went to an Atlanta Braves game. Which was super fun!! Here is the place where the torch was placed during the Olympics.

This is the Team Women's places for the Women's gymnastics. They had all the sports and it was very fun to read and see what names were there.

Here is Alex standing by the spot that Hank Aaron's record breaking homerun hit. Number 715!

Here is Alex standing in the place where Hank Aaron hit the ball that broke

Babe Ruth's record.

Here is me standing on where home plate would have been in the old stadium.

Here was Dad and his way of staying dry.

It did stop though and we were able to enjoy the game. Here is Scott chopping!

Mom and Sydney!

Here is Sam and Alex with their rally hats on in the bottom of the ninth. We were losing 5 0 though. They did wind up losing to the Dodgers.

Here is Sydney with her tomahawk.

Since it was Friday they had Friday night fireworks after the game and they were AWESOME!!! I some how got a good picture of some.

Busy Day #22 and 23

Hello there!

Well yesterday was very fun and exciting... and you'll never believe what happened!It is horrible...

I left my camera at home!!!

This is a first, and I am very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very SAD. :(

We went to a Springfield Cardinal's game last night. Mom, Dad, Alex, and Me, and you'd never believe where we were sitting! And you may never believe because I didn't have a camera to show you. We were sitting right behind the plate, on the fourth row. Right there, you could see everything... and when a foul ball came back it looked like it was coming right at you. I was VERY sad to find that I left my camera at home... so all of my pictures are on my phone. I texted a picture of the field from our seats to Charlie. I don't know if she got it. But that was really the only news from yesterday and there isn't too much news from today. We got home very late last night and we slept right through weights. I was actually kinda glad because I really didn't want to get up. So I slept in until.... well... around 11:30 or 45. I don't know for sure I was still sleepy. But I got up and was on the computer, then started a load of laundry. It actually just got done... one second.

Okay I'm back. We are almost our of dryer sheets. I had to text mom and tell her. I took a shower and got dressed and brushed my teeth, then I decided to blog. Also yesterday was Gina's birthday! So I thought I would say HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINA! Well.. I should be going now! Love -Rach :)

Busy Day #10 - Busy hasn't happened yet.

We got home from our basketball game just a while ago. We won our game 19 to 9. I made two points at the end of the game. We got to play on the full court... the college court. It was a lot bigger than our little court. It was pretty fun, in the middle right before the second half we had to all leave and go to the hallway because they were under a tornado warning. So we had an extra long half time. The power went out and everything. After the game we stopped and I got a Snickers. Then we came home, I played with Bud, and then took a shower. Now I'm blogging and will eat soon and then go to bed. I will have to get up pretty early in the morning because our first game is at 9. I'm not sure how many games we play but I'm sure it will be somewhere around 4 or 5. So there will be no post tomorrow I would believe. Have a nice evening!!

I said that I was going to show you my very cool pen collection. So here it is. This first row has the biggest ones on it. There is a yellow one, a St. Patrick's day, a curly purple one, a road runner one, and a star one.

This row of pens has two pens that look a like but are different colors, then a crown pen, another purple and then a mickey mouse pen.

There are some pencil and some pens. The first one is in the shape of a squirrel, then next pencil has lips, a fiesta pen that is a maraca, the next pen is a flash light pen, and the last one is a pen that looks like a tube of lip stick.

This is my whole collection!

So If you are wondering what I did today.... well nothing. I slept in, and then I watched some Psych re-runs online. Then I have been messing around on the computer for a while. I will be getting ready to go to my basketball game at SBU later. So nothing big yet. I will post the conclusion of my day later. Well maybe not later tonight... but sometime when I have a chance. I'm sure that tomorrow will be very full of games. So I'm going to be very tired and won't have any time to post.

Sports, shopping, Sales, and Some more!

Here are some pictures from this weekend. We went shopping yesterday and I took a pictures of some things you hadn't seen yet, but I'll have to show you my other stuff later. I wasn't going to post this picture because my room is SO messy, but I went ahead anyways. See all those blankets in the floor... that's my bed. Every night since summer has "officially" started, I've slept on this pallet of blankets on the floor. I started out using it because when me and Alex would watch movies at night, it was more convenient for us to be right by the TV. But I used it during the day too ... to just sit and use the laptop. As I was neglecting my bed, it became piled with junk and all kinds of stuff. So now you can't even see my bed, I'm too lazy to clean it off, so I just sleep on the floor. I was pretty proud of myself for going through my desk, and starting to work on my TV shelf. But I still have a mess from that sitting out on the floor. I don't know when this will get cleaned, but I can find everything and I have ALL summer to do it. No big deal.
This is what I was actually getting with the picture above. It was of my new outfit that Mom gave me for my birthday. I got some other cute things too. I wore this yesterday shopping. The pants are very comfortable, and go with anything.

This is the bag that Grandma Charlie got me for my birthday. It is big, and fits all of my stuff.

This was the other thing that I got for my birthday. It is a kit, that helps you put makeup on faces. This is the makeup and stuff.

Here is an example it gives you, and you pick the colors and put it all on the paper.

This is what my first try looked like. Ignore the extra set of lips that I drew on her chin. Oh, and ignore her crooked lips, and eye brows.

This was Coco today while me and Bud were playing in the sprinkler. Actually I was playing, and Bud was hiding, because I kept throwing buckets of water at him.

These are my new flip flops that I got last night with my birthday money. I like them a lot, very VIBRANT! They are very comfortable too.

Here is Alex! He didn't want me to take his picture, but I thought you might want to see what everyone else was doing today too.

This was Me yesterday, wearing my new clothes.

This is pretty much all I've been doing. Relaxing, playing with Bud, and getting wet. Tomorrow will be different though. I have weights, open gym, Mom and Alex have summer school, and then I have softball practice at 8:00 pm. So things will be getting very busy.

Hope you're having a happy SUNDAY!
