Destin Florida....

Hello... and welcome to Wheeler 411 from Destin Florida!

The Wheeler Family is on vacation this week. I'm sorry about not having time to blog about Grandma Marie's 100th birthday party, I will do that as soon as we get back. But for this week I will be trying to keep our 2009 vacation up to date. Here is how our trip has gone so far.

Monday morning we woke up bright and early and met the Gable's family in town so we could follow them to Alabama. It was a pretty long trip but we were able to watch movies on the TV and the boys played play station. We followed Kenney and Jenni back to their home where we spent the night. We had a very good time and had a good time with K.C. KC!!!Here was Alex during the car ride this afternoon to Destin! The Gulf of Mexico is in the background. We liked looking at all the palm trees and big buildings.
After we got checked in and settled into the hotel we went right to the beach. We had the best time! The sand was SO pretty and white, and the water tastes horrible. But tomorrow I will bring my goggles so that it doesn't get in my eyes.

Here is me and Alex playing in the waves!

Brother and Sister!!!!!

Letting the waves carry us back and forth.

Here is me burring him in the sand. We kept telling Alex that he couldn't breathe because it would make the sand crack. Here is him under the sand. It was really cool!

Here is me and Alex in the hotel room. Tomorrow we will be having a relaxing day at the beach. Today we collected lots of shells. I'll try to blog again and show you the pictures we get tomorrow.

What Is Going on With the Wheeler's?

Hello! It has been a while since I last blogged!

I have been super busy though. I don't have any pictures sadly, and really my last few days haven't been to interesting. But I thought I would go ahead and tell you a little about what has been going on in the Wheeler home.

• Sunday- We went to church, and afterwards went to Kay's to watch the softball world cup. We had lunch there and then came home after the game. I finished my 2008 world series scrapbook for the boys.
• Monday- I had softball camp from 8-10. After camp I came home and took a shower, had lunch and we went to buy makeup. I had a doctor's appointment at 3, so we went straight there. Which we found out that it was just allergies like we thought. Then we went and picked out movies, I got Bride Wars and Alex got Taken. Which both turned out to be really good. We came home and I watched Bride Wars. Then we had softball camp again from 6-9. We made it about 1/2 way through and it started storming so we had to leave. But since it ended short I was able to go to a baby shower. When we came home all 4 of us were in mom's bed watching Taken.
• Tuesday- I had softball camp again from 8-10. After camp I went to Kay's and went with her, Pauletta, mom, and Stephanie to Springfield. We shopped around for food and birthday stuff. I also got a really cute dress to wear on Saturday from Maurices. When we got back I had something to eat and relaxed a while before I had to go to softball camp.
• Wednesday- TODAY! I had softball camp from 8-10. Then I came home and watched a movie, did some laundry, took a shower, cleaned my room, and took a nice long nap. When I woke up I had dinner and then have been doing more laundry and just sitting around. Since it was Wednesday and we had youth (which I missed due to the fact that we didn't have dinner until close to 7) we didn't have softball camp. It was nice to have time to relax. So tomorrow will be Wheeler 411's 1 year anniversary. I cannot believe that it has been a whole year. So I will try to post tomorrow after camp. I have lots to do in order to get ready for our vacation that is coming up. This weekend is going to be extremely busy.

I hope you have a nice evening!

P.S. The Stockton Cardinal's got 13th place in the USSSA AA World Series. The teams that beat us got 2nd place, 4th place, and 6th place.

Swimming......

Hey..... well today has been very fun and pretty relaxing. I got up this morning and went to work. We had a job in Bolivar, it wasn't too big. The cool thing was that I found this ring that belonged to the owner of the house and she gave me 5 dollars. After we finished we went to Grandma Billye's an d ate lunch. We headed home after that and I fell asleep. I went in the store and took an even longer nap. At 5 we came home and I got ready for softball practice. I had some chicken nuggets and then we went. After practice I wen to the pool and swam with Bree and Leona!!!!! It was really fun! Now we are home and I'm ready for BED!!!

Have a good night!! -Rach :)

Busy Day #9

Since I didn't blog yesterday due to the crazy weather... I decided to do 2 posts.

Tuesday was really good.I got up and went to weights, which was pretty boring like usual. We had to run stairs,and do agility's. After weights I went to the store. We went out and did a cleaning job. It was really small and didn't take very long. We came back to the store, and then went with papa to have lunch at his house. I don't really remember what all went on... I fell asleep, and didn't wake up until Mom was there to pick me up. I was very tired. When we came home it was like pitch black out side. They were calling for some really bad weather but it just rained and was pretty windy. So I couldn't blog because of the lightening. It was kinda scary for a while. With not being able to blog I went upstairs and worked on another face picture. You know the ones that I got for my birthday. Well I did another one, and she is a little more wild. I thought she turned out good though. After a while dinner was ready and we came down and had some chicken and noodles. After dinner I put in a movie, The Bat, and Alex went out to shoot at birds again. Mom was in the sun room reading, and Dad left to go clean carpet at Woods. I finished the movie and then went to go and help Alex call birds. I couldn't do it very good so I came inside. I came in and started watching old home videos. They were so funny! Me and Alex watched them for a while, and by the end of the night all four of us were in Mom's bed watching them. There was one when Alex was just a baby, and I was two. It was Christmas morning and I had just opened a present that was a video. Mom asked me what it was about, and I said "Baby Jesus". It was Charlotte's Web!! Another one was of me and Alex shooting baskets in the kitchen. He was four and I was six. We were fighting over the ball or something and Mom said something like... I have the camera on, and I don't want to hear you guys still fighting in 20 years. It was really funny because we still fight about similar things all the time. It was so fun to watch videos of us in California with Sam. We had video of the Ocean, and Alex screaming when a wave knocked him over. (That was really funny... because he wouldn't get in! So I was standing in it ya know, and I kept saying- It's OK Alex! Then he finally gets in and the first wave is big and gets him all wet and knocks him over. He starts to get swept in and he starts screaming "DADDY!".) It was really fun to watch all of that stuff. We finally had to quit and go to bed. I slept in my bed for the first time all summer. I thought that It may help my back. It has been hurting a lot, and I think it actually did help a little. That's all for day #9.

High YA!!!

Hey! Today has been very long and pretty boring.

I didn't write anything yesterday because... nothing is really going on. So today I thought I would actually write. The best part of today was getting out of 1st,2nd, and third hour because we watched the high school play. It wasn't too bad. Then 4th,5th,and 6th hour we didn't really do too much. Wednesdays are short and you can't get too much done. But I don't have any homework and that is GREAT! But I'm really tired and don't want to go to softball practice later. I had to get up early this morning because we had track practice at 7:00 AM. So I'm blogging and then have some research to do for English. Alex has a baseball game tonight too. So I am going to stay with Kay and tonight is the Extreme Team! So I am going to watch them with the youth. I'm very excited about it cause I think that they are going to do a lot of very very very very very very very cool things. So I hope you have a very nice evening, hopefully it will RAIN!!

Shopping and More Fun Stuff

Hey! Today has been very LONG! Well first thing this morning, at 5:30 I got up and had morning practice. We of course went straight from practice to school. We had our advisory game, and then first hour in science we took our test. I got an 83% which for me is pretty good. So then in second hour algebra 1 we went over homework and learned some things about what variables you can and can't combine. We had homework but I got all of it done within today except for 1 problem, which I am going to do right after I finish this. Third hour in American history we graded some homework and then just talked. Fourth hour in music we went over notes and learned about intervals. Next in fifth hour P.E. we put on the pedometers and played dodge ball. Which was fun since we don't usually get to. Sixth hour in English we finished typing our essays, or like me indenting the last paragraph. Then seventh hour I went to Mom's room and finished up the things that I was working on yesterday. At 4:00 we went to teacher parent conferences, which is why we don't have school tomorrow.I had all good reports from my teachers. And on my M.A.P. test scores I got Advanced on the communicative arts test and I missed Advanced by four points on the mathematics test. So in math I guess I am just proficient. While all of this was going on Alex was at basketball practice. We went and watched the end of his practice, and I worked on some more algebra. We came home and dropped off Alex, and took off for Bolivar. We went to Maurice's, and Wal-mart. Just looked around at different things. I got Bree a birthday gift! I really am excited to give it to her. We got home at around 10:18, and guess what!!!??? When we were driving up the drive way Coco was standing right in the road and when Mom stopped and was waiting for him to move, HE DIDN'T. He just stood there with the deer in the headlights look. We went around him and then, poof, there was Skit doing the exact same thing, but after Mom gave him time to run, he RAN! So that was scary, I lectured them about not being stupid. Since then I have just come in and relaxed. I am so exhausted from a long night. Well I will talk to you later alligator! Si-an-AR-a!

I'm sleepy

Picture of the Day!

Hey! Today was very stressful, second hour I had an algebra test and third hour I had an American history test. The only good thing about tests are that you don't have any homework. So I had no homework, which turned out to be a good thing. Right after school we went to the carpet store and then to the high school softball game. Later we went to the middle school volleyball game, they did very good! I had a very good time but I didn't get home until 8:00.

Tomorrow I am not sure what we are doing, except for that after school I have newspaper. I am very tired and want to go to bed so I guess I will talk to you later!
