Christmas Break

Merry Wednesday! Only 2 more days until CHRISTMAS!!! It's going to be great! I'm very excited this year for Christmas. I picked out really good gifts for my friends this year, and my family too. My friends and I every year at Christmas get gifts for each other. This year we decided to choose names. I had Bethany, and Bethany had me, so last Monday we exchanged gifts. Then I also got gifts for my 2 best friends Bree and Leona. I gave Leona her Christmas and Birthday gift this Sunday (her birthday is on New Year's eve). I will give Bree hers soon. I also have selected something really neat for Alex's Christmas present too. I can't wait to give it to him. Actually just this week he saw it wrapped and sitting under the tree in my room. So guess what he does? He walks over and puts his foot on the box and starts stepping down on it. When I screamed at him he goes... O so it's breakable. We were supposed to go shopping for Mom's Christmas present tonight but i don't know if we are going to... I don't feel well.

As you can see in the pictures above, Bud has had a good Christmas break.... making a mess out of a hay bale and using it as a bed on the porch.

This week has gone so quickly. I hope that you have a very good Christmas and that all of your Christmas shopping is done. :)

Random Thoughts

Hello! Today has been very relaxing. Alex has an ugly cough, and I have a stuffy/runny nose, if you know what I mean. So I didn't really have anything to blog about, when I remembered some old photo albums in the sun room. So I found some of the cute pictures I liked and posted them. So here is some randomness for a random day! This is Alex at the St.Louis zoo. This was a trash can.
I really have NO clue where this was taken, but obviously we were swimming.

Alex and Me riding up to the top of the St.Louis arch.

This is one of my favorite pictures of myself. I don't know why either, it isn't anything spectacular, no pretty outfit, or breath taking view behind me. I just like it for some odd reason!I'm lighting a firework if you're wondering.

Here is Me,Alex,and Dad getting ready to leave for a Cardinals vs. Royals game.

This was Me and Alex while camping.

Cardinal's fans!!!!

I also like this one of Alex, SO excited!!!

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!!!

Sick

Hey! Today has been very good. I had some homework but today just has been very relaxing. Alex was sick today has to go to the nurse's office. He was running a temperature of 101.6 degrees. After school though he still went to basketball practice. Then we visited everyone at the carpet store. We went the junior high football game after that, I think they won but I am not sure, we didn't stay for the whole thing. I am really looking forward to this weekend.

Right now Alex, Mom, and Me are just sitting on the couch watching " Psych" in the sun room on the computer. I'm on the other laptop in the living room doing this. It has been so relaxing and fun to just sit with my family. Well I guess I will talk to you later.
