Me and Mom

Me and Mom=)

...partys for hosting, marshmellows for toasting....

I'm sorry...but i just had to post about my wonderfull family!
my Auntie mel and uncle chad came up to visit for the weekend, and my Auntie Shelly, Uncle Adam and my cousins Aj and Riley had just come back from lyncheberg Virginia,
so they and my grandparents came up for the day, it was fun! My mom, grandmother and my 2 aunts had to have their annual "Girls Night Out"
so i got to watch my sister Leah...might i add....6 months old! and adorable!
when they got back, we had s'mores and i discovered that...no joke....i have never made my own s'more! i have always had someone else do it for me, because usually my dad comes up with his own kind of s'more invention, he'll make it and i'll taste it!...he really rocks at it!! (he is such a cool dad!) but my awesome grandmother taught me how!! yay!! she rocks too!



The last picture, i just had to post of my wonderful, amazing and beutiful aunts, who are always there to make me smile!

My cute little girly christmas tree!!

just wanted to post some pics of my "Cute little girly Christmas tree!" i put sparkly elastics, hair ribbons, hair clips and some jewelery on it to decorate...and by the way...ther is a cute tiara on the top!!! it is so CUTE! and the lights look adorable! i can't even explain how much i love this little addition to my room!

13!!

YESSSSS!!! I am finally 13! Monday was my 13th birthday and i am thrilled! for my birthday i got my ears pierced....so that was nice!! all of my 5 siblings were with me...so i was scared to death! i deal with pain...terribly...but i wouldn't cry in front of my siblings!! but it was fine, i guess i was nervous because i had them done when i was like 9 and...it was not a very good experience...to say the VERY least!

Also...i loved my pumkin pie, i don't really like cake too much so i had a pumkin pie!

All in all it was an AWESOME day!

if this isn't cute...what is??

I just had to post some pictures of my litle sister, leah!
she is just too cute!!=) she smiles sometimes, and we got it on camera! we should enter her in like a worlds cutest kids contest or something...(is ther even such a thing??)
she is just a bundle of smiling sunshine, and adds so much to my life!

CYIA reunion # 2!!!!!

WOW!! is it already over?? i didn't think it would go so fast!! it was fun though!!! there were fewer people, but we had LOADS of fun! we played apples to apples, spoons, assassin, and mophia. it was so cool, at the end we had a testimony time, and it was really cool to see all the things that God was doing! we should have another sometime in early 09!! can't wait!

Trick or Treat...

This was the first time that at Halloween we actually had trick or treaters!! we have never lived anywhere that trick or treaters would come, either out in the middle of nowhere or on a kind of busy road, so this year was different, we made up goodie bags for the kids and put a tract in the bags, I was kinda dubbed the "hander outer" of the candy, so that picture of me is me eating dinner waiting for the kids!! we didn't get quite as many as we thought we would but there was still a good amount of kids!........just for the record.....I LOVE CANDY!!

Pictures...

So... this is just one of the things i do to have fun!!!!

Beth Moore

My mom, Leah, Auntie Shell Auntie Mel, Nanny and I recently...(Tuesday night) went to see Beth Moore, It was great!! and Travis Cottrell led the music, it was so cool!! She actually was walking down the aisle and saw leah and she picked her up!! afterward people were comming up to us, asking "is that the famous baby?" and "is that beths baby?" it was so cool!! i hope to see her again!

youth group event-

Last night I went with about 32 other teens on a "track attack" it was a fall kick-off! we started off with games...the normal "duct tape and toilet paper" kind of games! and then we got pizza, went to a corn maze, got ice cream, went for devos at a park...(in the FREEZING COLD!!) then went bowling, which i discovered i no longer have any skill at WHATSOEVER!! then went back to the church for pick up! it was a great night that lasted 4:00-10:30, i actually had tons of fun!!

I am sick too...(are you sure computer viruses are not contagious??)! i absolutely HATE being sick!! My throat is so sore, that when we went to church today, talking to my friends was embarrassing!! I DO NOT sound like myself AT ALL!! I forgot just how terrible it is when I'm sick, it kills me that i can't hold my little sister bcuz I'm sick, it is absolutely HORRIBLE!! (sorry to bore you with my complaining!!) My brother Caleb has a birthday coming up! i love birthday parties!! This year Mom put me in charge of all the planning, that should be fun!! He will be turning 7!! WOW!! Time flies!!

Just bear with me for a while ok?? well, a lot has gone on since i last blogged, i got my eyes checked...AAHHH!!! i had to get my eyes dialated or something, for like 2 hours I couldn't read a blessed thing!! and it felt like someone was squeezing my eyes!! AAHHHH...if there is one thing i hate, its things in my eyes...(well that's is not completely true...crooked collars drive me completely IN SANE!!!...just ask my friends!!) but, i don't need glasses, so that is GREAT!!!!
Then, we went to one of my friends soccer games and that was fun.

our computer is currently "sick" so i have to use another computer, when it is fixed i will add pix...honest!!

Downhere

Last night my Dad took me to a concert at a church nearby to see the band Downhere!! it was so much fun! I had seen their music video on Spirit Music Television, Mom saw that they were in concert, so she told dad and he took me!!!! after the show we stood in line (4eva) and eventually i got my CD signed, and this picture!! it was so cool!! I had such a great time!

Another year of school has started...

SOOOO....We started school Tuesday, (I still don't know how my mom can homeschool 5 kids!!) And it is going good...so far. I', in 8th grade, and... well, lets just say I CAN'T STAND MATH!!! I'm pretty good at English, but when it comes to anything numbers...FORGET IT!!! I'm glad i have a mom who is willing to help me!! the thing i like about being homecshooled is the fact that i can crash WHEREVER i want spread myself up, (and today i even had music on) and yes i DO learn stuff!!

\

YES I'M HOMESCHOOLED,

YES I'M SOCIALIZED,

AND YES I DID MY SCHOOLWORK TODAY!!!!=)

Dover point...

Every year for nine years on labor day, our family has gone to Dover point for a picnic, then the guys play soccer, football, ultimate frisbee, or whatever pops into their minds (this year though, I played some soccer with my cousin riley,) And the girls look at pix and chat. then, when everyone is COMPLETELY worn out, we go to the beach part, we always have so much fun!! i have an AWESOME family, I love them all so much!

AAAAWWW!!!!

This is Leah again...isn't she precious?? she is soooo cute! i love her so much! The day she came home from the hospital i sat down with her an just started to cry!! She is so precious, sweet and innocent, and I am already so proud of her!!

MY LITTLE LEAH!

She's finally here! My mom went into the hospital this morning, and she will be bringing back this!! My Leah Grace!! I am so excited! a couple weeks or even a couple of days ago i thought she would never be born, but sure enough....here she is!!

Isn't she precious?? how can people see babies and still think that there is no God?? She is so...complex and it still amazes me to think God designed her whole body! And He loves her soo much! ISN'T SHE SO PRECIOUS?!!

*CYIA reunion*

MAN this went by WAY TOO FAST!!!! The day i have been waiting for, for such a long time has finally come!!...and gone away way to fast!! Today was the CYIA reunion! We had so much fun, playing badminton, basket ball, Soccer swimming, and having a GREAT time of sharing and testimony time and telling stories of the Summer! i realized just how much I really miss my friends from CYIA!! i miss playing sports with them, hanging out, and just making memories with them!! they are all such good friends, and i am blessed TREMENDOUSLY to have them, God has used them all in some special way this Summer, I was so nervous about moving, and leaving all my old Friends from our home church, and youth group, But knowing these guys has REALLY helped everything to go just a little bit smoother, and i realized just how much God really cares about me! Sometimes i just wonder, "How in the world can God really love me so much??!! and Why in the world does He choose to use Me??"
