Philadelphia

So here are some pics of Philly!! We didn't end up going to NJ 'cause my aunt and uncle who live there were pretty sick....that was a bummer, but we had an awesome time at Unca and Aunt Bobbis...and there dogs (our cousins) Dolce and Gabbana!!

we went to see the liberty bell (as pictured above)

I was glad that dad brought his laptop....even when we are on vacation i still need the computer!!...well maybe not need, but ya know...its sweet!!

Unca was so nice to us th ewhole time,...so was aunt Bobbi...she was like SUPER AUNT!! everything was totally cool....well there was that one thing, i left my mascara in the van, because we packed the van early, and i went to put it on...and it has froze!! so the brushpart came of, but unca was to the rescue, and bought me more well we were there!!...HE'S THE BEST!!!

Hope we can go again!!

CYIA reunion and Recruitment

Here are some pics from the CYIA reunion this Saturday, it was fun, but sometimes after reunions i remember just how much i miss all of my friends!!! because this was a recruitment for this summer, i brought two friends, well, i invited Riah, (shes in the picture with me) and she knew someone who she thought would be interested, i had never met him before though, The reunion was great! as far as I'm concerned any place with pizza, soda, candy, and tons of cool people, is ALWAYZ FUN!!

pictures...

My aunt took these pictures a while ago, but because nothing interesting is going on (i know, just wait till tomorrow, then i'll have something fun to update about!!!) i'm posting them,

PATRIOT FAM

Christmas eve, our amily has a tradition we will go to my grandparentd house and they will order pizza from our familys favorite pizzeria and then after we eat, drink lots of soda, eat lots of chocolate......(i might as well run for the rest of my life!!) we head over to the church for the candle light chrstmas eve service, last year i sang the song "One King" and since my aunt has a song she sings every year, and so does another lady....i figured if they have "their songs" i might as well have "my song" too!! so i sang that....with a cold i might add!! and then we will go back after the service to my grandparents house and open gifts with them....anyways...(yes, there was a reason for all that i just said!!!) all that to say my aunt and uncle got our family these patriot shirts!

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!!
