Well, right now I'm at my Grandma's house in Salinas. And I'm writing on my her laptop. Now, I have to tell you how awesome it is to type on a laptop! I just love the feeling and the sound that it makes when your finger hit the keys! Pretty sweet, huh? Anyways, I wouldn't be posting on this right now if I'd brought any school. I'm doing so much school and other activities right now, that I haven't had much extra time to post or even get on the computer. But now that soccer is almost over, my life is about to end. Well actually, not quite, I still have PE., babysitting, drama, HERC classes, and friend time, so I guess I still have most of my life. But I'm going to miss soccer like crazy! I had a pretty awesome team this year...especially when it came to playing games, we won every single game of the season, and were the only team undefeated. We, The Mighty Mighty Tigers, beat every single other team, without a problem. We made it to the playoffs, but because of some of my teammate's and my coaches problems, we aren't allowed to go on to regional. So, that whole story is a little disappointing, but I'll get over it soon enough. I've got to go, but when I get home and I have a spare minute(lol, like that will ever happen), I'll try to put some picture on of my b-day party, and my soccer team and the fair! Ok, write more later!

Bathroom...

Well, I was getting tired of the same old bathroom after so many years. Since a girl spends most of her time in front of a mirror, I wanted a cute bathroom! (Even though I'm not usually in front of the mirror, I still wanted a new bathroom). Anyways, one Monday, I decided it would be nice just to paint the bathroom, so I asked my parents and the next day we were at Home Depot buying some paint. The weirdest part about this is my parents wouldn't make any decisions. They left it ALL up to me! Wow, the pressure was on now! My dad, Mr. Builder Man, said we'd probably remodel the whole bathroom in a couple years, so it would just be temporary, which helped the pressure go away a little. Anyways, we started painting Tuesday night and finished it up on Wednesday. We went to Ross for something completely different then bathroom accessories, but of course that's what we came home with! We got a new shower curtain, a picture frame, a cute candle, and a picture to go above the toilet. And when we were taking Andrew to college we went to this awesome store with TONS of super cute home decorations. So there we got three pictures to hang up. So a simple paint, turned into a bigger project then we expected! We also ordered some hooks to hang our towels on instead of a towel rack. And when we were at Kholes a couple days later, we got some new towels. So now our bathroom is pretty different looking. I guess you could say I'm happy with the way it turned out, maybe just a few things I would change, BUT for now, I LOVE IT!!! Anyways, I'm happy with it! =D

Snickers got a hair cut!

Oh Wow! Just last Friday, we took our dog in to get his hair cut, and well, long story short, they ended up having to cut it 3/4 in. Well, while we were waiting for our phone call so we could go pick him up, my mom was just totally CRAZY!! She kept saying that 3/4in. was just WAY too short and he wont look like our dog, and so on and so forth. But anyways, when we went to pick him up, I didn't even recognize him! Snickerdoodle looks SO DIFFERENT! I still haven't decided if I like him better with long shaggy wavy hair, or short cute hair! I think I like the short hair better! Well, Sarah wants to get on the computer, so I'm going to stick a couple of pictures on and then I have to get off! So, have a wonderful day!

Vacation Bible School

Well, this past June I led a group of 3rd graders in VBS at RiverLakes. I had so much fun! And thanks to the help of Megan and Claire, they made it very easy for me! Anyways, I had a group of five awesome little girls! In the group picture; Gina is on the far left, then Tabaye in in the middle(I have NO CLUE how to spell her name, but it's said ta-bay-a), the Lexie on the right. In the front row is Katelyn on the left, and Amy on the right(lol, I love her name!)! Oh, and then Megan is in the brown t-shirt on the left, Claire in the middle and in the blue shirt and Me on the right!

I have no doubt that our girls had a blast getting me SOAKED in game time and eating a BUNCH of Jolly Ranchers that I spoiled them with! Our group had so much fun together! Got to go do some reading! -Sorry, I look REALLY weird in the picture of Amy and I(the second pic.)-!

Horse back riding in South Dakota!

One of my favorite things that we did on vacation was definitely horseback riding. Again, I don't have much time to write, but I at least wanted to stick a couple of pictures.

Grand Canyon!

Oh Man! I just love the beautiful beauty of the beautiful Grand Canyon! It is just absolutely amazing! I love it! Here's some pictures of it, but let me just tell you that I took like 50 pictures while we were there! We were only there from around 9:30 till 1:30. So we didn't have that much time. We also took a bus around and they showed us different view spots and really cool stuff! Ok, I could honestly go on forever, but I'll put some pictures on now! Sorry, I would put more on, cause we have tons, but I really have to go help out! -write more later!

Fun with G&G!

Here's a couple pictures from Grandma and Grandpa's house! We always love visiting them and they're nice weather! =D

Well, I haven't posted in forever!

Sorry, I haven't posted in so long! I've seriously been really busy. I never think I'm going to be busy, but somehow something always comes up! And when a have an hour or so, somebody else is on the computer. BUT, our three week vacation, was an unforgettable trip! Honestly, I will never forget the week with the Scheidemans, or the time we spent with Grandma and Grandpa, or the time with Cousins, or the beautiful view of Mt. Rushmore, or the extremely fun horseback ride, or even the trip through the boring desert. It was all such a fun time.

I could go on for weeks talking about our time with the Scheidemans and how we had so much fun! But, I don't have very much time, so I can't say much besides; I am thankful for them, and what great friends they are to us! You guys are awesome!

So, here's a couple pics. from there. I was planning on getting like a hundred(which isn't really that many) but, really, what were we supposed to take pictures of? Besides us. Idk, for some reason we didn't get that many, but enough to always remember how much fun we had!

I know.....I know.....

Well, I know....I know I haven't posted in like a million years, but I've been a lot busier then I thought I would. Like tomorrow, I have a scrap-booking day(ALL DAY) and then we're going over to some friends house for dinner. But even today, all I had was a swim day at a friends house,(so I didn't think I would be busy) but I slept all morning, played games with my brother for a hour or two, and then left. We were there till around 7 and then I had pizza(woot), got my scrap-booking stuff ready, and now I'm here. Idk, but so far, summer has been WONDERFUL!!! Anyways, I don't have time to post any pictures, but I have a bunch of random stuff that I want to put on here. So one of my summer goals is to post a bunch. Lets see how I do...(probably not the best)...But, I have to go read and get ready for beddy by time. Post more later! :D

My hair!!!

I think by now almost everybody knows that I got my hair cut....(it was during Easter Vacation)....but it's mainly for Erika. Here is a picture of my hair. I have like super short bangs and super short hair! I don't think I'll ever have my hair this short ever again, so I at least have to show you a picture. Next time I plan on having it like this would probably be when I'm like 25 and have kids and just throw it up in a pony tail every morning! :D Anyways, you saw a picture of my bangs in the Easter picture, but I like never wear my bangs down and my hair up...seriously! And in that picture, my bangs are all floppin' in my face and look retarded....but they're actually pretty cute...idk about on me, but whatever!








Ok, I did my first french braid in some super snarly and greasy hair(Sarah's) this afternoon! But, I was pretty satisfied, for the condition of her hair...I mean, it was seriously a disaster! I've done two french braids in peoples hair, but never just one. Common, this is a HUGE deal, and that's why it made it onto my blog!! lol, jk! Ok, I gtg!

Some pretty pictures!

This past weekend we went up to Columbia, CA for Sarah's "field trip". We went up Sunday morning with the O'Dells. The DeCarlos went up Saturday and we met them when we got up there, the Singletons went up Sunday afternoon and we met the Goldsmiths up there Monday. Anyways, the O'Dells, DeCarlos and us went to this place and it was like the prettiest place I've EVER been! Seriously! It' was so stinkin' pretty! I mean green, and flowers, and ADORABLE!!! Here's just a couple pictures, I took like a hundred! Dude, how could I resist! Oh, and this place was HUGE!!! I just asked my dad, it was called Ironstone Vineyard. Yes, it was a vineyard, but I honestly think it was my favorite place I've ever been!! It had this creek that was gorgeous and a path all over the whole place, and this little hike, and a huge outdoor amphitheater and seriously, there's not even words to describe it! That would be a perfect heaven, although I know heaven will be a whole lot better, but it would suit me! :) Oh! And it had this pond/lake thing and Omygoodness, I could go on forever on how perfect it was! Well, write more later!
