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!!!!!

Day #11 and 12... I think!

So as you know I have been at S.B.U. team camp Wednesday through Saturday. I'm getting my days SO mixed up. It seems like no time has passed and I've been living in the lobby of a college.

Our team has been doing really good. We are undefeated, and if we win tomorrow morning then we will be in the championship game. Which whatever team we play would have to beat us twice. I think we should be able to win tomorrow, we are playing this team from Dixon. They are supposedly all middle school kids. But they are really good. They only lost to us by like 5. So we are definitely going to have to play good tomorrow morning to make it to the championship, and we may even play Dixon again if they come up through the losers bracket. I will definitely post to tell you what happened tomorrow.
If you're wondering what this picture above is, well it's me this morning before we left for camp. I was really tired, and you can't tell in any of these pictures, but my eye (under it) is swollen and is blue and purple. I was some how behind a big post girl and she came back really hard and hit me in the face. So now I have a nice sore spot under my eye. It's my right one, you can tell it is puffier.

This is me this afternoon when we got home from our last game. Well I took a shower before this picture.

Here is my eye up close. I just zoomed in on the picture above.

Our schedule today was really crazy. We had our first game at 9 o'clock, and we were going to play again at 1. But we had a by for that game so we sat for 5 hours waiting for our next game. It was at 3:30, and was against South Callaway. During our down time we all went with Tracey on a quick trip to Maurice's, and then back to campus for lunch. The lunch today was pretty good. I had a sandwich, chips and salsa, and some ice cream. It was all very delicious. Yesterday was very hectic too, except we played a ton more. Yesterday we had 5 games. WOW I know! We had one in the morning, then we sat one played one, then we had lunch. When we came back we played two back to back. Then we had a long 3 hour break and played again at like 7:45. I'm really tired, even though we didn't hardly even play today.

Have a nice evening. I'm going to a baby shower.

Busy Day #5

Busy day #5 has actually been pretty relaxing. I've been just been at home. I've worked on my room a Little but it's not done yet. So look for pictures later. I'm going to basketball camp soon.

So today has been very laid back compared to the last four days. We don't have weights on Friday's apparently... so I got to sleep in this morning. I think I didn't get up until around nine o'clock, and had a donut for breakfast. After that Alex, and Me got started on the chores that Mom had left for us to do before she got home from school. So we put some clothes in the dryer, folded several loads.Alex decided to skip summer school today since they were only going to the zoo, and stay home, rst and get some sleep.Then put them all away. We also watched a movie, a good movie always makes folding laundry more fun. Then we picked up our things from downstairs, cleaned up our rooms a little, and headed out for a walk. We got Bud out and took a nice walk to the neighbor's house. Steph and David's. We met up with the boys and had a nice little chat. In the end we wound up taking Bud home, feeding him, I made some Roman noodles, taquitos, and a burrito, we ate, changed, and then went up to Steph and David's to play in the water. They actually had a cool little baseball, slide game going on. I didn't really want to play but I volunteered to hold the hose, and spray them with water. So I was able to cool off and not get soaked at the same time. After this we came home and just hung around the house for a while. Mom got home at around 3, and she dropped me off at the store later. Dad took me to basketball camp... and Mom went to Wal-Mart, and Alex is at a friend's. Dad picked me up after camp and brought me home. He had been working on some yard stuff, so I watched him do that for a while, then decided to come in and call Mom. She showed up at the house shortly after. So she made us some YUMMY dinner, and then we watched an episode of Psych online. We had seen it before but I wanted to watch something. Now I'm sitting in bed, and will be going to sleep shortly after I finish this post. So I guess I will see you in the morning. I still have not finished cleaning my room, so It will not be until tomorrow afternoon that I show you pictures of my complete clean room, that will hopefully stay clean for a long long long long long long long TIME!!! So have a nice Day!

Busy Day #2 and 3

This is what I've done today...
Lift weights, and have basketball. Actually I had softball too.
So the last few days have been REALLY busy. Yesterday I had weights in the morning, then went to work. After we cleaned I went to the carpet store and hung out for the rest of the afternoon. Yesterday night I had two softball games. We lost the first game but 8 runs I think, and we won the second one by 1. It went into extra innings. We didn't get home til late, and then I woke up this morning and lifted weights and had open gym. After open gym, papa took me over to their house, and I took a LONG nap. At 2 I had to go home and get my stuff before going to softball practice and basketball camp. At 3 we had softball practice, and then I went with Bree strait to basketball camp. Basketball camp was okay. I'm really tired, we did a lot of running. Alex had two baseball games tonight. So I'm really sore and tired. Have a nice evening.

Here's a post really FAST..........

K here is a fast little post. I haven't done anything today... and right now I'm trying to squeeze in a quick post before I leave and go to bible study, then youth, then softball practice, then Bree's until Mom can pick me up and bring me home.

So today I didn't really do too much. Just sat around the house catching up on some rest. I had planned on going shopping but didn't go. Then I had plans to go swimming... and it rained.

Right now I'm sitting here IN MY ROOM just blogging, cause I can. Anyway... I'm in my room blogging, listening to My Paper Heart by Francesca Battistelli.

Besides all of the relaxing stuff today... I went to bible study, and then youth, and after that I went to softball practice. As you can imagine... we were all muddy, wet, and cold. But it was fun anyways. I laughed at everyone falling and getting dirty. Until I went to catch a ball, landing in the splits. Ouch...

After practice I went home with Bree. I actually didn't ask how the boys did tonight. But I hope they won... they sounded pretty excited. So you'll have to ask someone else about how they did.

I'll add some pictures just so it isn't so blah...

2:38 and Worth the Pain

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL SCHOOL IS OUT!!!
I'm so excited that school is FINALLY going to be over. We have three more days and all three of them are filled. Tomorrow I'm only going to 1-3 hours then I'm going to a Springfield Cardinal's game. It is for getting perfect attendance this year. On Thursday we are going to the park to play, and have lunch. Then on Friday we are going to have an awards assembly... and it's a 1/2 day.
Here is my school day...
Science- Look over tests
Math-Look over quiz/watch video
American history-Watch video
Art-Clean out drawer and turn in all homework/class work
P.E.- Play dodge ball
English- Read/ turn in all class work
That was everything that I did. Not very much. Tomorrow I don't think we will be doing very much either. So the week is all fun from here.
After school today we had our track party. We all went to Sundae's, I got a chocolate shake. We turned in our uniforms and handed out medals. I had a total of 13. 5 GOLD, 4 SILVER, AND 4 BRONZE. I also found out that I now hold the middle school girls 800 record. I was SO excited, she even printed out a sheet that has all of the girls records for all events on it, and my name was in the 800 spot!!!!!!!! So that was the biggest thing for today.
I have something planned for the rest of this week though. Tomorrow night I will have softball, and Thursday night too. Then Friday we will have a last day of school party, and Saturday and Sunday Alex has a baseball tournament, and on Monday I'll have softball practice. On Tuesday we will have our first softball game, and on Wednesday....
It just keeps going like that. But without school...things won't be so bad. We'll have all day to play and relax before all this stuff.
I hope you have a nice evening!
Love

Rain Rain Rain

This is ME! Don't you love my cool T-shirt that I got last night at the S.T.A.T. rally. They are SO pretty! I haven't taken any pictures of myself lately... so I did one today after church and thought I would post it. This is the first time in a while that I've actually had time to take pictures... so I thought I would take advantage of it. Ignore the fact that my pictures are silly this time, I had a lot of fun taking them.
Here is my new bathing suit that I'm so excited about. I needed something to wear to SBU for our reward trip, and we found this yesterday at Target and I love it!

These pictures are just random because I wanted to post some pictures. This is of our sports shelf in the stairway. All of our medals, trophy's,pictures, and things are here. I think it looks pretty awesome. We still need to hang up our new pictures... which are the big ones sitting on the shelf.

I thought I would just show you the stairs... now do you see why we fall down them so much? They are pretty cool looking though, and are good to hide on when scaring someone.

This is a picture of Me and Alex a long time ago when I don't even know how old we are. But look at this picture and look at the one below. How weird is that... they look so much alike, minus the teeth.

Hey! Today has been very nice and relaxing...

The rain is kinda nice even though wet isn't really how I like all my stuff. This morning Alex was supposed to have a baseball game... but it was rained out, and we are now able to enjoy a nice day at home. We went to Sunday school, and we had children's church downstairs. I'm very excited for tonight though because we are going to the S.T.A.T. rally.(which stands for Seeking The Absolute Truth).Tonight I think I will help in the nursery a little and hopefully Mom will take my spot for a while so I can listen upstairs for a bit. I really like working with the cute little babies though. Right now I'm waiting for my pictures to upload so I can show them to you... really I didn't have much to post about so I took some pictures.

Still waiting!

P.S. I can not wait for lunch to be ready we are eating... YEA THE PICTURES ARE DONE!!

2:38 and feeling the pain

Hey! It feels so weird to finally be posting. So here is a brief update of the last few days.
Thursday- I went to school, then we had a track meet. It was VERY small and we our 8th grade girls got 1st over all. I also got 1st in the 800! We then our 4x4 team got 1st too. I didn't do so well in the long jump. But all of the other people from our school did very well. Really fun meet.

Friday- Go to school, then a track meet. It was VERY big and our 8th grade girls got 1st over all!!!!! That was SO exciting. I also got 3rd in the 800, and I broke my all time best record...2 minutes and 38 seconds! In our 4x4 we got 2nd place. But the meet overall was REALLY good for our team.

Saturday- I had to get up early and go to a softball game. We won 8 to 2. I hit one between first and second and got on base. Then I hit one in the outfield and the girl caught it, then the first baseman caught a line drive that I hit at her. Then I got a new bathing suit (I'll show you later). Then we ate at Chick-Fill-A, came home, and I went to Kay's house while the boys went to their baseball game. They actually won both of their games and will play again tomorrow. Tonight me and Kay went to Subway for dinner, and then to S.T.A.T. rally at church. It is really cool... and I got to work in the nursery. All the little kids are SO cute!!!!So I might do that again tomorrow.

So I'm really tired!! Blog again tomorrow.......... maybe!?

BEST FRIENDS!!!

So sorry... I have been SO BUSY!! BUT I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!

Here is my wonderful last few days!!!

• Tuesday- M.A.P. testing at school, and a high school meet after school.Mom worked at the finish line, and I worked at the triple jump. I ate 3 Snickers bars, and cheered for our team!!
• Wednesday- MORE M.A.P. testing!! But we played LOTS of dodge ball.It was an early release day, so I stayed at school with Mom. Me and Gina walked to Sundae's and I got a corn dog and a shake. Later we came back to school, and got ready for pictures. We went out to the track at 2:30 and had our pictures done(hope they turn out good). At 4:00 our track meet started. I was in 4 events, 100,long jump,800, 4x4. In the 100, well... lets just say that I didn't get last, and I didn't get first. In the long jump I jumped 12'2'' a which I don't think I placed. In the 800, I GOT 1st PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had the best time, so I got to be on the very inside. I took off running and got ahead of everyone and stayed that way the whole rest of the time. I also broke my personal best time which was 2:48, and it is now 2:47. I was VERY EXCITED!!! And Grandma Charlie, Stephanie, David, and the boys were there. BUT THE EVEN BETTER NEWS IS THAT I DIDN'T GET JUST 1 GOLD MEDAL, I GOT TWO!!! OUR 4X4 TEAM DID GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Josie was gone so Laura took her spot and did GREAT!!! We started out towards the back but she pulled us into 1st!!! Then Bethany kept us in 1st, and Bree kept us in 1st til the last 100, and got passed by a Strafford girl. After Bree handed off to me I took of sprinting and passed the girl from Strafford, and kept us in the lead all the way to the finish line!!!!!! I made up a cool rhyme to remember hand offs and stuff. "Receive in your left, run in your right, keep on going til the finish line's in sight!" I thought It was pretty good. So it was a GOOD night. Woo......
• Thursday- Today at school we basically just did some grading, and little work. This would be because we were just ready to be OUT of school. We have a four day weekend if you didn't know. We had morning practice today because we have a dance after school. So I helped Mom and Kathy set up for their party on Tuesday. After that Mom brought us home, and I played with Bud for a while. We went down to the creek and he got me all WET! But I came inside and got ready for the dance. At 7:00 Mom dropped me off at the school, and I went to go hang out with my friends. I had a good time laughing at Bree and Leona. I liked laughing at Laura and Bethany too! It was a lot of fun... my favorites were the Cupid Shuffle,and the Cha Cha Slide (sp?). I was getting tired though, and the weather has been atrocious.So I had Mom come and pick me up a little before the dance was over. I had all the fun I needed, then left. Now I am at home nice and warm, blogging, and thinking about all the fun I will have tomorrow with my Buddies.
• Friday- Big fun with my FRIENDS!!! LONG WEEKEND AND LOTS OF FUN!!!!! I like all of these colors!! It reminds me of spring. So I am going to watch a movie with my family... I think it is The Final Season. I baseball movie of course!!!

Have a nice long weekend!!!

P.S. I got my Mary Kay stuff today and I found out that I was the top seller! So I got a 25$$ gift certificate to buy anything Mary Kay. So I was very excited about that too!!!

This has been a really good week so far.

Nothing to do! That's a Lie...

So I thought I would tell you that I'm not avoiding blogging, I just haven't had the time. Here is a little update. We won both our softball games yesterday, and Dad and Alex have been turkey hunting. I have videos of both that I will post later!!

THE LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!!!!!!

Hey!Today has been very...

LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night wore me OUT!! We had a track meet, and the weather was well... FREEZING, AND RAINING!!! But we ran anyway. So crazy, my cough is now worse along with my runny nose. As far as my events went, I was only in the 800 and 4x4. I placed 4th in the 800, with a time of 3 minutes and 7 seconds. Our 4x4 team got 3rd!! Bethany, our first leg put us in 6th. Bree took us into 4th, and I brought us into 3rd. Then Josie was passed by a Bolivar girl that was really fast, she only trailed her a little the whole way around.Then right before the finish line she beat her. So we got 3rd!! The weather was horrible and we were happy that we did so well in a BIG meet like that. Lots of schools had huge buses and were from places like Marshfield,Branson,Catholic,Republic, and Buffalo.

Besides track... We have have two softball games tomorrow in Seymour. I am kind of nervous because it has been SO long since I have actually played softball. So we might be a little rusty the first game.

Besides softball... We have had a long week of school. First of all we are preparing ourselves for the M.A.P. test. So all week we have been doing review and games to get caught up on things that will be on the test. In science currently we are learning about planets, their orbit, moons, and the sun. So we've been doing lots of labs, and space activities. In Algebra we have been going over measurements,decimals,fractions,square roots,tangents, and all sorts of stuff. Besides the M.A.P. test, we also have to take an E.O.C. exam, because we are in the Algebra 1. So this is a really big test that is coming up!! In American history we're learning about government, and how our state and federal government work. We have a big test preparation packet due next Thursday due to our testing for three days. I will be working on that and getting it out of the way if possible. Art right now is pretty fun I'd say, we are doing two point perspective drawings of our initials. Our sketchbook from last week was cool, called Echoes. (I might post a picture of it sometime) This weeks is of a movie or DVD cover. So I need to pick a cover and start drawing it this weekend. I got a 96/100 on the last drawing I showed you, and then got a 25/25 on my Echoes sketchbook page. In P.E. we just finished up a basketball tournament, in which we got last place. Today we went to the weight room, and I don't know if we are starting a new unit or not. So nothing much there except for that I have been getting my step goals the last few days because of all the running activities we've been doing. In English we have been doing more M.A.P. review. Everyday we do a packet or play a review game and I'm very glad that we are through with it. The only bad thing is that we will have to start working on our I Search Papers and I don't want to write an eight page paper. In Mom's room 7th hour I have been putting away books and taking an inventory of all the shelved books. This is a large task! I have not been in there the last few days because we left for the meet in the middle 7th hour yesterday, and today I went to watch the preview of the middle school play. It was about Mark Twain, and some of the microphones weren't working so it was hard to hear. My friend Leona is in the play and she did really good today, she had a lot of lines to remember. Marlana also was in the play.

If you're wondering about what M.A.P. testing is I will explain. M.A.P. stands for Missouri Assessment Program(I think?). So we spend three days in testing these booklets. The test scores are used to see how well our teachers are teaching us.

Good Things about M.A.P. TEST-

1. NO HOMEWORK!
2. You have several breaks to go outside, or talk.
3. You get lots of yummy treats and drinks to snack on while testing.

Bad Things about M.A.P. TEST-

1. You have to be quiet for long amounts of time.
2. You are stuck in the same class room for FOREVER!
3. I'M IN MR.OCHNER'S ROOM!!!!!!
4. It's a test that will be effecting whether or not you get to go on fun trips at the end of next year.
5. It's A TEST! Nobody likes tests!!!

I am very busy this weekend too. Today after school, I had track practice then went straight to softball and have just got home. Tomorrow I have two softball games in Seymour and then I will get to come home and work on homework. Then Sunday we have church then will be attending a funeral. So I have lots of things to do over the next few days, but hopefully we will have fun, and keep everything STRESS FREE.......

CRAZINESS

Hey!Today has been GREAT so far. We didn't have any homework, since today was a short Wednesday. But this morning we had morning practice and I was SO tired. I didn't think I could go to school. So I was very glad when 7th hour came around.

After school, Papa picked us up and brought us over to Kay's house. So I have been relaxing and watching some TV. Later I will have softball practice at around 5. Then our bible study for tonight has been canceled due to our Mystery Dinner at the church. So I think that we will be going to that this evening too. If we are still having youth then I will go right to youth after the dinner.

So this has been a very long and exhausting day. Not to mention I keep coughing, and have to blow my nose all the time.

I don't know if we will be having the track meet that is scheduled for tomorrow. It is supposed to rain and be cold. So we will see about the track meet. I also have two softball games this weekend. I have only been able to go to two practices because of track, so AH.. this could be scary!!

We also are very excited that North Carolina is still going on! I hope they win the whole thing. Gina was very upset that Mizzou lost, but I was able to get over it.

So right now I am watching Little People Big World, and finished eating an apple. So I hope you have a very good day, and am not so busy.

Track meet fun!!!!

YEA!!! Just got back from our track meet with LOTS OF GOOD NEWS!!!
I was in three events, 800, 4x4, and long jump. I got second place in the 800, and that is what the video is of. I was so close to getting 1st. But the girl that won was also the girl that got 2nd in the mile.I also broke a personal best time in the 800, last year my best was 3:10, this year my practice time was 3:08 and today I got 2:48!!! 22 seconds better.
Our 4x4 got 2nd also, our time was 5:01. So I will have 2 medals.
In the long jump, I jumped 12 feet 5 3/4 inches. I got 4th place, and was SO close to getting third. I would have needed to jump 2 inches farther.
The even better part was that our 8th grade girls team got 1st over all!!! SO A BIG NIGHT!!!!
But I'm so ready for bed!!!

Basketball!

So I still haven't changed my background and I don't want to blog! This is very rare, but every once in a while it happens.

This week has been SO HECTIC!!! I kinda like it though, there is less time to sit in front of the computer,or watch movies,and sit around. I am constantly thinking about the next hour,day,week and trying to remember all of the instructions I'm given. (Which I have HORRIBLE memory so this is a large task) I Actually think I have been through 2 note pads within the last few weeks. I Always am trying to remember socks,shoes, deodorant,homework,phone,practices,what trip or were it's at, what to make up, how much money, what jewelry,when are the morning practices, time, sleep,cupcakes,brownies, and muffins. (I really want some chocolate).

I have been staying with so many people lately, Bree,Kay,Josie,Stephanie, Alex is away I'm here and it is so hard to find time with the family. The last few nights I have felt more relaxed though, Alex had two ball games so I stayed with Stephanie,Drew,and Tate. We had a good time, we watched the movie Enchanted and I really liked it.

Then tonight we are staying at Kay's to watch some TOURNAMENT BASKETBALL!!! Yea! This was a very big thing in our Algebra class. Gina was about to punch the boys for picking Marquette to win over Mizzou, and most of the people in our class came down to Kansas,North Carolina,Pittsburgh,and Mizzou to be the teams to beat. I managed to listen to this conversation and get my homework done at the same time. My pick was NORTH CAROLINA to win it all! At our house the person who gets the most games right wins a candy bar and soda.

So I the family is at Grandma Kay's for some good ole' TV watching and relaxing. Tomorrow will be just as busy as the rest of the week. I have to go to Softball practice, and will have to leave early to get over to the track to make up a mile that I missed for the Jeff City Trip. We also will be getting our uniforms. Have a nice evening!!!

A weeks worth of Randomness

These are Bree, and Kaylee's Feet, at track practice the other day they had on the same pair of tennis shoes, so I took a picture of all 4 feet.

Hello! I haven't posted lately because there isn't really anything to talk about. I just thought I would let you know I'm OK. What I have been doing the last two days is cleaning,moving furniture,going to basket all games,and talking to Bree, Leona, and Courtnee. My room is now dust free, and rearranged. Alex has played in a tournament, 4 games, and they got 5Th and 7Th due to some complications. I also have been less lonely, talking to my friends, this long weekend really makes me miss my friends. I am sitting here, and I don't know what to type... so I guess this is it. Here are some pictures for you to look at it is just random from over the weekend.

Hustle and Bustle

Hey! I'm so sorry that I didn't post yesterday, it has just been pure chaos!

Friday at school was really boring anyways so I think I will just skip that, and tell you about the great evening I had. I had a couple of friends over last night after track practice, which I am so sore. So we hung out, got the dog out, petted the cats, went to the creek right at sun down with rubber boots and flashlights. It was really fun because next to Josie's house there was this huge fire, I mean HUGE!!! So we went to check it out, well sorta, we walked up the creek til we came to a part that was kinda close to the edge. On our way back, Bud who was with us, stepped on this bottle. So I picked it up, and there was a note inside, we opened it up then took it up to Chad and Christy's to read it. It said something along these lines...

"If you are reading this please bring it back to "blank","blank",and "blank".

Except those blanks were people's names that go to our high school. So we gave the note to Christy, the high school Secretary, to give to them Monday at school. I wonder what they will think about somebody actually finding the note. So that was really fun, and we took another walk, and Bud got stuck in a hole. Later we came back to the house and had the best dessert EVER!! It is pictured above, and you have to try it out. By the way we had a wonderful dinner too, chicken and rice, strawberry's,grapes,cottage cheese,and some other things.

Mom,Dad,and Alex later went to play baseball up at the ball field.I heard it was very fun. So we were off adventuring, then came to the house had a snack, took showers, and talked. I think we finally went to sleep at around 12:30. This morning we slept in, made some muffins, went on another walk down the creek, came back, had some milk, played with Coco, and then shortly later they all left. As soon as Dad got home we ate lunch really fast, then headed off to Springfield. We did some shopping, I got a new helmet,and a pair of track shoes, which are just regular tennis shoes. So we finally got home, and Mom will be coming home soon to pick up Me and Dad so we can go out to the Roller's for a movie night. I think though that I am going to be watching the little babies, which is even more fun. I will make sure to take my camera, in case I have free hands and something cute.

So this has been a very hectic day,but it is all fine because the weather is SO great, and I've got to be with my wonderful friends. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!!

House

Hello! Today has been fabulous!! I do have a little homework, but I am going to put it off for a little longer so I can blog. First thing is that I have been receiving comments lately(Leona) and I love them!! It is so fun to read then and know what you guys think. Now about my school day. First hour in science we had a journal that was really hard, and then had a worksheet to do. We were assigned different section to make of this really long graph, that has to do with sun spots and stuff like that. So that is my homework, to finish graphing, not too bad. Second hour in Algebra 1, Mr. Edington is of course still gone, seeings that his wife had a baby last week. By the way, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALIYA! So in his class we had the worst substitute EVER! Just kidding, Really I'm just kidding, cause it was Papa Larry. I was actually excited, because he was our sub today and tomorrow. All we have been doing in class any ways is doing these worksheets. So that was good, and then third hour in American history, I threw a paper wad at Josie. Then we started reading out of the book, and got into a big discussion on government. My question was if the house of Representatives, was actually a house?? Which he told me that it wasn't, and we also discussed which state we would sell off if we had to. The majority said to sell part of Massachusetts.Fourth hour in FACS we went to the Tiger preschool. It was very interesting, and I learned a lot. When we got there, each person was assigned two little kids, which were either 4 or 5. Then they were instructed to pick out a book, bring it back and have us read it to them. So I had two little girls, we read several books, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Mmm... Cookies, and the Lonely bear. After that, we got out a puzzle and put part of it together before we ran out of time and had to move on to the next activity, which was playing catch with a yarn ball. They enjoyed that, and shortly after that we had to leave. Fifth hour in P.E. we went to the weight room. Me and Leona were partners, and had a great time. Sixth hour in English we started watching the movie Hamlet. Mrs. Halley always stops it to talk about how cute Mel Gibson is. She also said that at one of her conferences that she went to last week, a lady came up to her and said, "Hey your from S, are you that Bug lady?", which she is and now OUR grade is famous for our bugs. Seventh hour I went to Mom's room and put away some books, and then just relaxed the rest of the hour. After school, we had to take Alex up to basketball practice. Then Me and Mom went to a few places in town looking, we came back later and picked up Alex and then came home. Mom made some frozen pizza, and we ate that. But before that, I went outside and let the dog out so I could take him on a walk. We went down to the creek, and had a good time throwing rocks at the ice. Well I threw rocks, and he plays with sticks. Since I've had dinner I sat down to blog, and soon I will need to go and work on that graph for science. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday, God Bless!

A weeks worth of Randomness

Hey! Today was nothing spectacular either, but I thought I would share with you, all of the random pictures that I took and had a little story behind them. This was Wednesday night at youth, little Elijah was SO CUTE!!!



This is me! Just so you know I'm doing fine.

I got this Softball jersey on Tuesday from Steve, so I could wear it in my pictures that we are having done. And guess what my favorite number is... 10!!!! I LOVE the number 10 and I'm glad that I get to have my picture taken in it.

This is the new dress that I got Monday when we went shopping.

This is our family after Alex's basketball game Monday night.

And this is the game, right before tip off. This was a really great weekend.

So about today, Thursday I mean! Well I got up this morning as usual and got ready and then went to school. First hour in science we graded a lab sheet then started in on another lab. Second hour in Algebra 1 we graded homework and then went over some other things that we learned. Third hour in American history we read some more of the script that he gave us. Fourth hour in FACS we made FOOD!! We made potato soup, vegetable soup, and rolls. The we got to eat it!! The soup was SO good, but before we did that we got to eat a dessert that the seventh graders made. It WAS SO GOOD!! It was Jello no bake peanut butter cups, I think, and it was so yummy. Fifth hour in P.E. we played basketball. Not for very long though, because before that we had to go over how to dribble, and all that stuff. Sixth hour in English we had readers workshop. I had a good time reading my book Princess in Love, by Meg Cabot. Seventh hour in Mom's room I put away some books and then cut out some sheets. During 7Th hour I didn't feel too good, so I only went to the weights part of softball practice. So Mom picked me up at 4:30, and from then we rushed around. So I have had a strange day, relaxing and long, but good. So I hope you have a wonderful THURSDAY TOO!!!
