Newer News :)

So I finally got some good pictures of Kitty 1 !!! Isn't he so cute, a little more serious looking than kitty 2, but still cute.

Grrr.... he's a Ferocious little thing.

This is how our afternoon has gone. We stayed after church for the fellowship dinner, then came home. (We slipped off the road and went down the lane). Then we came inside and Alex put a movie in. Now the whole family is sitting in the living room and watching Underdog.

Here is the view from Alex's room.

This is the view from my room.

This is Me today after church.

Yesterday we went to Alex's basketball tournament. It was in Halfway, they played 3 games. They won the first two and then lost the last one in the championship game against Skyline by 10. It was an interesting game.

Here they are with their second place trophy. Lisa, Royce, Dante', Grant, Ryan, Colton, Daniel, Alex, Jacob, and Eli.

This was me yesterday after the tournament. We had a long day but it was Super fun. :)

The other news is that Court warming is on February 12Th. Also I'm going to prom, I got straight A's this last quarter, and our JV team has won our last 3 games in a row. This week we also have 2 more games. One on Monday against Marionville, and another on Thursday against Strafford at home. So a slow week again, our games for yesterday were canceled so I think we will go back sometime this week to play.

Well Underdog is getting good,

Love,

Rachel

Summer Fashion Favorites!!! Busy Day #28,29,and the last... #30!

So I'm finally getting to blog... but it's a good thing that I waited. While we were on our basketball trip I found a new bathing suit at the mall. Here is my new swim suit upgrade...This was my bathing suit before, and this is my new one. I got it at Justice, they had a lot of cute things on sale. This was the cutest one on the rack! I'm so excited to go swimming, and wear it!!

To continue my summer fashion favorites... Here is a cute outfit that I wore Sunday!!
These are my CUTE shoes that grandma Kay gave me. They didn't quite make it in the picture, and they go really well with this outfit.

Here is my cute skirt ( from who knows where) and my cute shirt from Aeropostale'. I really liked this outfit. And since I didn't tell you about Sunday since I was busy I thought I would do that now. After Sunday school, and church we came home I got Bud out and he played, while mom mowed the yard, and I washed the van. It felt SO good. It was cold and the van looks shiny. After I finished all of that It was almost time to go to youth. So we had dinner and then headed to church. Youth was SO fun because a bunch of my friends were there. We did this really cool activity. After youth it was our Sunday to have nursery. So we had Emily and Lucas. It was fun, and after church we went to the baseball field to watch Alex's practice. It was really fun because we went on a walk with Jill. As we were walking past this house a little kitten started following us, and It was SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! It was maybe the cutest cat I'd ever seen. It followed and followed and followed, and finally Mom let me pick it up and we carried it back up to the field. Once we were there everyone wanted to know where he came from and why I had him. Everyone petted him too. After practice Jill ran me back by the area the cat started following us and we dropped him off. I was sad, but we did the right thing I do believe. When we we came home from practice I started packing and getting ready for Drury basketball camp!

This is one of my favorite pairs of flip flops. They are from Old Navy, and are very comfortable.

I love this new purse that I got. While we were at the state tournament last weekend we went to JC Penny and I found this cute bag on sale for 20$. I was so excited!

This is another one of my favorite pairs of flip flops, they are Nike's, and they too are very very comfortable.

Here are some of my shirts that I like. This is a new one that I got a few weeks ago. It is really cute and goes with this one pair of shorts really well.

This is also a shirt that I got for my birthday. It is cool and very comfortable.

I also like this pink shirt from American Eagle. Bree gave me this for my birthday last year.

Here is another outfit that I just pieced together last week. I have been looking for a shirt to go with these Bermudas and this tank top goes good. It too is very comfortable and flexible.

I LOVE this outfit, I got these shorts from JC Penny last summer and I wear them alot. I think I got this shirt from Bree too.

This was me Sunday night before youth. So now I guess I should tell you about our Drury basketball camp! We had a really good time... we won 4 and lost 3. Monday we played a game early in the morning against Glendale and lost. Then we had another game shortly after, against Central and won. We had a lunch break after game #2 at Subway. Then we had another game around 1 o'clock and lost against Central's varsity. They were good and had some big girls. Then in the fourth game we played at 3 something and lost against Republic. They were really good too, and we were really tired. After we finished our fourth game we went to the hotel that we were staying at.... Lamplighter Inn, settled in then went swimming.

It was SO hot and the pool felt SOOO good. This is Kelsie, Josie, Bree, Gina and Me. We had a good time swimming and then relaxing in the hot tub. We came back to the room and got changed up, and headed out to dinner. We chose Mexican villa, and it was yummy! But I got a really bad stomach ache afterwards. It cleared up though after we went to the mall. While we were at the mall is where I found my bathing suit. We did a lot of just looking around and browsing. After the mall we went to Cold Stone Creamery and got ice cream. It was really good and felt nice to be outside. After we finished up with the ice cream we went to Wal-Mart. While we were there we did some fun stuff while the adults shopped. When we finally finished up there we went back to the hotel to clean up and go to bed.

This morning we got up and went to breakfast were I had a waffle. We got all packed up and ready to go, then had a group picture before we left. This is our team. From L to R : Allie, Gina, Kelsi, me, Bree, Josie, Ashley, Coach, and Garret.

I don't have any idea what any of these pictures are of, but I thought I would post them anyways. In our first game against Rogersville we won by 6. Our game was at 10:50.

Then we had a long break until 3:50. So we went back to the mall and had lunch at Chick-fil-a. After lunch we went around the mall some more. I bought ring and a gumball with my leftover change. We met back up with the adults later and we went back to Drury. Our second game we played against Nixa 2, and won by several points. We played Nixa 1 in the third game, and also won by several points. There was only one game between game#2 and game#3.

After the game we headed out and went to Wal-Mart again, except this time it was just Mom, Me, Tracey, and Bree. While Mom was looking at curtain stuff Bree and I decided to sit and rest in some rocker chairs. They were really comfortable and let us have a place to sit and relax.

Now one more thing that I thought I would show you... as it is one of my favorite summertime things. Is my bath and body works body spray. This is the best smell too. Pink Grapefruit. I love it and after stinking so bad from all this sweat. It smelled really good.

So here is a re-cap of my last few days and then my Summertime Fashion Favorites! Have a great Day!! You should share your summertime fashion favorites too!!!!!

Busy Day #14 and 15

This is our basketball team after we won the championship.

At this point I really don't remember Sunday and Monday. But I wanted to show you a picture of our team.

Busy day #13

Hey! Today has been SO good already. If you didn't already know we won the championship. We were undefeated this week. We got a plaque for winning, and then we all got a shirt that says champions on the back. It was a really fun four days but I'm tired! So for the rest of today I'm going to just hang around the house until Alex's baseball game tonight. So... I don't have the pictures downloaded yet. If I find some time and energy I will post them. Have a good day! I'll report back later. -Rach :)

Just a Typical Day

So today, Sunday has been very relaxing. Last night I got home late, considering that Alex had a basketball game very late last night and I fell asleep at Kay's on the couch. We came home and I went straight to bed. This morning I woke up and got ready then we went to Sunday school. Which was really good, we are starting to watch a five week video on making good choices. Today we just watched the introduction, and it was really exciting. Then we went upstairs for church. Several weeks ago we had this speaker come and preach and he was going to do it for like 3 days, but it iced and nobody could get out, so they had to post pone it until now. So this morning and tonight we will be listening to Dr. Bennett. We came home after service and Mom made us some pizza!! Yum! Then I uploaded my pictures, and have started to blog. Tonight we don't really have very big plans. I think that we are just going to youth, and evening church then coming home and getting ready for bed, I'm very exhausted from yesterday still. But it was very fun and here are the pictures of us having fun!!!This was at Incredible Pizza, Kelsie kept pretending to shove this ice cream cone in Josie's mouth.
Here is Josie and Kelsie, being nice with the ice cream.

Bree and Gina!

Josie and Rachel!

This was once we were at the game, Bree and Me.

The final score of the game was 75, 65 and we won, well Missouri State won. This was the cheerleaders after the game!

Here was the score board at half time. We were winning here too, about the same amount as we won by.

Now I know you're wondering what in the world this picture is of. So when we got there they were handing out these pieces of paper that had a place for you to put your name, address, and phone number, then during the first half of the game, you were supposed to make it into an airplane. At half time they announced that you could go down to the railing and throw your plane out onto the court. The person who got closest to the nose of the bear out on the court, won a prize. So as you can see that little pink dot out there on the nose, won. This was a really good idea.

Here is Me, Josie, and Gina!

In this picture I was focusing in on number 12(in white) because this is Jackie Stiles younger sister. She was pretty good.

We had really good seats at the game, and we were sitting right across the isle from the band. So close that even with my zoom all the way out that I couldn't get all of the band people in it. So this is the best I could do with out getting in front of every one's way.

Number 5, the one shooting the free throw, it a girl that graduated from Bolivar last year, and is starting for the Bears this year. She was really good, and had quite a few points racked up.

This was my other favorite part of the game, the cheerleaders. They were very pretty and did lots of tumbling. Every time that we would score they would jump up in the air or throw their pom poms in the air.

Josie and Gina, enjoying the game.

Laura, Bethany, and Sheri!

This was before we left that morning from Bree's house. Leona took this picture of Me with Bree's little dog Lily, who was adorable.

This was Bree, Me, and Leona in the morning, or the after picture. We look a lot better here than before, we were very tired!

Here is Leona with Lily. So cute!

These are my toenails. I told you that we did pedicures and this is what my toes looked like when we were done!!

This is what we looked like before, before we went to bed that night I should say. We were so exhausted.

Leona with the puppy again.

Bree and Lily!

Barbie,Leona,Bree, and Lily!

Look at Lily in the doll house all by herself.

As you can see this was a very fun weekend, and I have enjoyed every bit of it, hope you have had a happy Sunday!!!!
