My week in a nut shell!

The reason why haven't posted in a while is because my week has not been that exciting! Wednesday, though, I had an orthodontist appointment, uhh!! I went in and the Dr. pushed my front teeth together and it hurt really bad!! I am almost done and I hope I will get them off soon!! This time I got Green Bay Packers rubber-bands. The lady who put them on, was wondering if I went to school at Richland! I should have thought of that before I chose the colors, oh well!!

Right after my orthodontist appointment, my mom rushed me over to ABC driving school. My mom had scheduled my last drive. I wasn't really nervous, come to think of it, I was more nervous on my first drive than my last! Any who, I did a really good job and I passed!! So now I can happily say that I have successfully completed Drivers Ed!!!

Last night I watched Poseidon!! I am going to watch it again when my dad gets home too!! Any who, my mom came down close to the end of the movie and watched it with me, then Derek came down and he couldn't believe that I like that movie!! I didn't say anything to him.

OK, so that kind-of sums up my week in a nut shell!! I will talk to you all on Saturday, at the Car Wash!!

Queen!!

I thought I would post some pictures of my dog enjoying her desert!!

Queen luvs pudding!!

Ummy!!

Memorial Day, Fun!

Yesterday, my family along with another family went to this water fall out in the middle of no where (Paluse Falls)!!! It was a fun car ride up there because Derek and I were quoting Oddessy sings and singing with Charlotte Church. It was fun, but then my dad said to stop giggling so that kind-of ruined or ride. We even attempted to play corners, but Derek does not know how to play right!!

Finally we go there, and I found out that I did not wear the right kind of shoes. I was wearing flip-flops, when I was supposed to wear tennis shoes, but no one told me that!! We were planning to go to where the fall begins, but since my mom and I weren't wearing the right shoes we only went part of the way down, slipping and sliding the whole way down. Then to make matters worse, it started to rain and my feet got all muddy!! When we got the bottom, we took a whole bunch of cool pictures. I would post them now, but I am at MCP.

After we took some pictures and enjoyed the scenery, we hiked back up the tremendous slopes and made our back to out Expedition. My dad's friend made cookies so we sat down in the shade and had a few. I played with Ella (the little girl in my profile picture) and Evan. My dad found a tick on Queen and I was uncomfortable the whole rest of the day!! I continued to feel bus crawling all over me, it was not that good!!

So I guess that kind-of puts my Monday into a nutshell, exciting I know, but try to contain your excitement!! JK!!!

I FINISHED!

So there is a lot of things that I finished, number one thing was that I finished school, except for one more exam, but other than that, no homework this week end!! The next thing that I successfully finished was the whole series of the Chronicles of Narnia, I finished the Last Battle, yesterday and I am so glad that I took the time to read them, they were really good and I enjoyed them a lot especially the last one!!

So now, I have to find a new book and I am pretty sure I know which one I am going to read next...Twilight! Every one is talking about how good they are so I am going to have to get it and find out for myself!! I watched the preview for the movie and so far, it sounds and looks really good!! So I will be at the library sometime soon!!

The boat tour was great, but extremely long and some what cold. So Emma and I sat near the end of the boat right in front of Montana and Derek. The whole time Emma was trying to take pictures of them but they would always hide, their faces, I wonder why?? But any who, we got some really funny videos and pictures, so I guess the whole trip was worth it!! On the way back The captain of the boat said that next time we should try the whole boat tour. After he said that Emma, turned and looked at me and said, "There's more?" I laughed and I have to agree with her, I wouldn't want to go on the extended version.

Yesterday was OK, I finished my tests and I have to say that they went better than I expected them to go. Later my parents got home and I went with my dad and my mom to the barber shop, then after that we went to some guys house to look at the Honda Accord that he had for sale. We are thinking of buying another car, for my mom. The Honda is smaller than out buck but it was this really pretty light, sparkly blue. And guess what, it had a sun roof!! I am all for it and I hope we can get it so then I can drive it and not the Ford pick-up!!

C U all on Sunday, except Emma!!

Reading Up a Storm!

Hey!! Sorry I haven't been posting in a while, I having been reading like crazy and studying for final exams! Ever since I went to go see Prince Caspian I decided to read the whole set of Chronicles of Narnia! So for the past week I have been reading like crazy! I skipped over The Horse and His Boy because the last time I read that I got a little bored. I finished Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and really liked them both! I had never read them before, so I thought that they were really good. Though the movie, Prince Caspian, had to add in a lot of things to make the movie more exciting and short.

Yesterday night was fun! I loved the play-dough game, it was awesome!! I am not going to say anything about who actually one, so I will just skip over that and move on! I liked the solo guitar during the worship, it was really cool and I definitely think that Nathan, Nick, or Riley should do something like that in the near future, it would be really cool!

Today we are going to a boat tour of the Columbia River, I think. We might not go because my mom doesn't feel good, but I really want to go! It doesn't sound extremely fun, but I want to go so I can hang out with Emma and my brother! :)

Sunday Night Fun and More!!

Sunday nights are always so much fun!! Last night, as every one knows, it was the youth led service and it went well. The youth choir got to sing and we did...ok, but hey we were singing from out hearts, right?? Well Emma, Sydnie, Nick, and Riley did a really good job. The solo that Riley played for the offering was really good!! I wish I could play like that!! Any who, the service went really well and Daniel, did a pretty good job for a beginner. :)

Later we all went to DQ, again!!! Only this time we went with my dad and at first he said no, but then after much pressure, he caved and we went and I have to say it was worth it too!! I had so much fun talking to Lacey and Emma and watching Derek, Vada, and Eli, hitting each other with spoons!! Emma, Lacey, and I all talked about the Chronicles of Narnia and our books and the problems that had occurred. It was defiently a really fun night just hanging out with friends!!

Well the night came to a end....awwww.... and we headed home. I hurried out side to work on my book and I have to say I got about two sentences written down, I accomplished a lot last night. Any who, after I couldn't think of any thing else I went in a go my book and started to read it. I stayed out there till I could not see it any more, then I went inside and read until my dad and my brother came down and turned on the T.V, that's when I put my book down. :) We ended up watching one of my mom's favorite movies, Young at Heart, with Frank Sinatra. It was a really good movie and I enjoyed it a lot!!

This morning was crazy!! My dad could not find his phone case or his keys so he was rampaging around the house, well...not really, trying to find his keys. Then my mom went to go help my dad and she found his keys!! :) Then we were about an hour in a-half late to my mom's work this morning so I didn't finish my math class till about 1:40!! It has definitely been a crazy day, but at least I had fun with Emma, my brother, and Montana!!

Prince Caspian!!

I saw the movie Prince Caspian yesterday and that is, officially, my favorite movie of all times!! Along with the first one too!!! It had....oh wait, I can't say anything that will give anything away to those of you who haven't seen it yet!! But I recommend it for any one!!! I went with Emma and her family and during the previews we saw some movies that we wanted to see: The Ember City, Hancock, Wall-e, and the Kung-foo Panda (I don't know if that's the name, but any who!)!!! All those movies look like fun ones to go see and enjoyable ones at that!!

Today was so hot!!! Queen, is now like a super-chick!! She got a bath and a hair cut and she is so pretty!!! She is snowy white and doesn't look dirty any more. But I am sure that that won't last for a day, tomorrow she will be out side, in the morning with all the dew on the ground patrolling the yard for cats and in the process will check underneath the shed and will get all muddy!! Oh JOY!!! But hey, just as long as she got a bath and a trim. Her fur was really fluffy too, and really soft!!! Pur-tie!!! (Don't make fun of my spelling!) :)

Well that about sums up my day and thank fully I got rid of my brother! JK!! He went to help Crystal and her mom work on their lawn. I went with my mom to drop him off and I saw Crystal sitting in the yard! That has been the first time I had seen her in a long time!! It was a good feeling too, when I saw her. But she didn't seem very happy about spending her Saturday outside in the blistering hot sun, pulling weeds! :)

Well I need to run, I am working on my book!! C U all on Sunday!

Bubbles!!

Last night was so much fun!! Vada and Olivia came over and first we started off talking and trying to blow bubbles with the bubble lower that I made and the bubble stuff that my mom made for me. It took us a long time to get a decent bubble.

Olivia loved my dog's tail and every time my brother and I would make her do something she would laugh, so hard that I would start laughing. It was really funny! Then Vada and Olivia found a baby spider and drowned it in the bubble stuff, then they were both trying to find it using the same stick!! It was funny!

Our Frisbee game that we played was OK, the only problem was that Derek, every time he would miss it, would quickly say, "restart" or explain to us that the throw was a bad one!! We all managed to throw it over every one of our neighbors fences!! Derek on the last one was climbing over the fence to our yard and he saw this huge jumping spider so he got down and went to the other side and climbed over our the fence into another neighbors yard then used their gate to get into ours!! Crazy, uh??? But hey we still had a lot of fun laughing and having a good time!!

What to say??

What to say?? I am bored so I thought I would get on and make some changes and post on how my day has been going. Every Thursday we get the choice of weather or not we want to go to MCP, my moms work, or to stay home. Personally I go, just so I can use the lap tops. But today has been such a beautiful day that I kind-of wish I would have stayed home and played out side after my school work was done. Oh well, maybe next time!! :)

I have been very tired today and I think I know why. Last night after we got home from church Derek got out the clay and I went up stairs to make a post! I came back down a little upset but decided to join my brother in sculpting. We have colored clay so I got out the brown clay and started to work on a tree. It turned out...OK. I took me so long to get it shaped right and the worst part was that I had to sick tooth picks and wire in the limbs so they would stay where I wanted them. We worked on our sculptors till about 10:30 ish. Finally we baked them in the oven and went to bed. The next morning my mom came in at about 5ish and asked me if I wanted to go on a walk with her. We started this new thing were my mom and I were going to walk every morning. So far it has proved to be very difficult for me to go to bed early and wake up early!! I need to work on getting a system down. Any who, I stayed home and slept for another hour!

Then we headed to MCP, oh joy, and I have been here all day since, 8:00 this morning. I really want to go home and ride my bike and play with Queen!! Oh well, I will be going home at around...oh....4:00. So yah, that is how my day has been going!! I will talk to you all later!

PRINCE CASPIAN TOMORROW!!!!

New Background!

I luv my new background and I have to say many thanks to my brother for putting it all together! I found the picture but her put it together and figured out all the techno stuff!! Thanks Derek!!! He didn't mind it either, in fact he luv's that kind-of and he told me too! I thought that it was funny because Emma luvs to do the same thing!!! Oh Boy...we have to computer nerds on our hands!! JK!!!! But any who, thanks Derek!! Sorry this post is only a paragraph, but I have to run!

Change stinks!

Tonight my family got a letter from one of my friends. Inside was her graduating picture, and it made me think of the first time I met her. She was ten years old and I was seven. It seems like such a long time ago. We had so much fun together, and getting her graduating picture made me think of my life. For instance, I look at her picture and I think, "Wow, she has changed so much." Then I look at my self in the mirror and say, "Nope, haven't changed a bit." But to her I have, to me that concept is a little hard to grasp.

Change is something that I do not care for, but no matter what I do, change will all ways happen. I don't really like that at all, but it's on of those things, where it doesn't matter if you don't like it, it will still happen. I guess, I am getting to the point where I kind-of wish I was a little kid again. You know, with 5 minute homework, playing on the swing, playing cops and robbers out on the ranch, and riding bikes down hill seeing who can stand on their bike the longest. I miss those times and to tell you the truth, I don't want to grow up just yet. I'll probably change my mind tomorrow, but, yeah, it was worth telling you all, my thoughts!

I will talk to you all on Sunday!! PRINCE CASPIAN IS COMING OUT IN TWO DAYS!!!!! (Or on Thursday morning....or something like that)!!!!

To Sunny Side we GO!

Yup, that's right! Last night was my drive and unfortunately it was highway driving!! We went all the way to Sunny Side and I got this cramp in my arm!! It hurt so bad!! Plus the wind was blowing and it would make the car jerk, that's probably how I got the camp in my arm. This time I drove with a girl from my class, Sandra. She lives out in Prosser and goes to Kennwick High, so you know I thought that she would be really good at driving on the highway, better than me, but she wasn't. I was so scared the whole time. When she would got the pass into the next lane she would not be in her lane all the way, and several times she would sped up to eighty when then speed limit was seventy. One time when we went around the corner she turned to sharply and she turned the car into the rutter thing on the side of the road, that, makes the loud humming noise. Also several times the instructor had to grab onto the wheel to help her out or correct the car! SCARY!!! So that was how my drive went. Can't wait till I will be done completely with Drivers Ed!

Vada and her mom came over before I went to Drivers Ed and we had a good time talking about everything! We talked about movies, blogging, Sunday night, and Emma's Test!! We just kind-of talked and caught up on things! I luv when I get to do that with my friends!! Lacey, I missed u!!

Monday, Monday!

Hey! Yesterday was great! Once again Emma and I got to work with clay and we got to make some clay sculptors!! I have to admit, sculpting is not really my thing. My mom's artichoke flower was great and Derek's tree was...nice, JK!!!! Emma made a cell phone holder and a tree thing. They were both cute! Our goal with the whole clay thing was to create some thing, something that would be impressionistic. Personally that never works for me and I have to think of something to sculpt rather than just wing it!

Emma and I later looked at the three quiz answers that she had and she graded them, they were hilarious and I think she was surprised at some of the answers. I was definitely surprised by some of the answers that Nathan did, it was kind-of creepy!!

Last night was a whole lot of fun! Derek and I rode bikes and just hung out. Derek was a little loopy though, and I believe he blames it all on the apple pie. Personally I just think that he was a little tired and that he needed to go to bed. :)

Later we watched this awesome movie with Jimmy Stewart in it, Mr. Smith goes to Washington! it was a really funny a cool movie, though it was black and white I still enjoyed the movie. I also had a really good time with my brother and my mom, so I can safely say, I had a awesome day!

Testing, Testing, I...2...3!

Hey!! I finally got my signature up and I think it looks really cute. The only bummer part of it is that it is just like every body elses!!! Oh well I still like it and I am going to keep it too! I know This is a short post but I was just testing it out!

After Church Fun!!

Dairy Queen, that is the center place for after church fun!! Last night Emma, Eli, Derek, Nathan, Andrea, and I all headed over to Dairy Queen, to have some fun!!! We all stuffed into a booth and spent our night teasing Eli!! Nathan would take his brand new hat from him and would hide it from him. One time Nathan passed it on to Andrea and she passed it on to me and I stuffed it underneath my purse. Eli took for ever to find it but when he did he did not look to happy. The whole night Emma was trying to help him by giving him hints to where it was and he didn't believe her!! One time when I took his hat he took my drink and threatened to put pepper in my Strawberry-Kiwi Arctic Rush. Thanks to Nathan's "skilzz" he got it back before he put pepper in it and we still got the hat!!! HE, we were having so much fun! Carol even helped us and took Eli's hat and threw it across the room to us!! It was awesome!! Eli would run all over the place looking for his hat, while we sat at the booth sitting and laughing.At the very end of the night Nathan hopped over the side of the booth and slammed his elbow down on the table! Emma and I were laughing so hard!! On the way over to Emma's house to drop her and Eli off, Emma told Eli that it was mostly me and Nathan who were taking his hat!! Ummm....I don't think so Miss!!! I took it a couple of time's but the blame will have to rest on Nathan!!

I had so much fun, but I missed Lacey and Vada!!! Where were you two??? Well that is about a summary of last night! I will talk to you all on Wednesday! Emma how has your answers for your 100th post been going??

Murder-Mystery Party!!

OK, this is depressing! No one has posted on how the Murder-Mystery Party went last night!! Come on people, it wasn't that bad, or was it???? The night started off great! All the characters were there and four non characters. So not a huge crowd, but hey that's OK, right?!

The script was very interesting. Every one in the end turned out to be aliens and the one that the FBI was looking for was Jen/Twyla who was the alien shape-shifter who put Allan Ian Abduction's head on an iguana body and his head (Allan) on his iguana's body!! Yeah, this play was definitely not written by some one who was in their right mind!!

Lacey/Tate was a cyborg, Nathan/Speed O' was half fish-half human, I/Ariel was an alien bounty hunter who was an alien, Daniel/Dexter was also an alien, Jake/Klaus was a alien too, Bella/Carey was a human, I think, who was planning to help the alien's out with their invasion of planet earth, and lastly Sydnie/Endria was a human from a different time zone... or some thing like that. This play definitely created some fun laughs and uncomfortable ones too! Every one who was there knows what I mean!! :(

I hated my part!! I didn't hate it when we started but towards the end, my thoughts on my part went south!!! My mom and I decided that they play was definitely not written for a Christian Youth group. Such as: Speed O' was in luv, while dating Twyla, with Edria and I was dating Allan and friends with Dexter, who was supposed to be my enemy, Twyla was in luv with Allan, and lastly Klaus was in luv with Twyla and even made a cyborg that looked exactly like her, only with out hair!! If you guys have not been able to keep up with this confusing story, to bad, I don't know how to explain it any better!

So yeah, that was the murder-mystery party in a nutshell, confusing I know, but it was still very interesting and very entertaining!! Hope that the rest of you high schoolers will post your opinions, so I don't seem like the only crazy one here!! :) See you all on Sunday!!
Brooke

P.S. For those of you who I told you that Derek was leaving on Sunday, my information was faulty and I found out that he is not going with my dad!! Oh darn!! JK Derek!!! Oh and Happy 18th Birthday to Sydnie!! Sorry I missed your party!!

A Fun Night!

Hey! Last night was awesome! My mom and I went to the grocery store and got all the food that we liked and even got ice cream and frozen Strawberries to make some shakes!! Yummy!!! Later my mom and I went out driving. We went to the same place that I went on Tuesday to practice backing up and guess what!! There were the two drivers Ed cars there and they were practicing the same things that they taught me. So we just drove on and left. Personally I didn't want to do it in front of them....HE, yes I was embarrassed!

Later my mom and I went for a Bike ride with Queen and we had a whole lot of fun, riding through the neighbor hood. After we got done with our Bike ride my mom and I practiced my new voice song. then she played some of the old songs that she used to sing for her voice and I have to say, some of them were really cute! And some of them I remember her singing to me whee I was little, before I would go to bed. they all brought back some good memories!!

Well I better go, have many things to do!! See you all on Wednesday!
Brooke

Just Me and Mom!

Yesterday my dad came home from Alaska and he recruited my brother to go with him, to help him with some of his meetings! So that means that.....it will be just me and my mom for three whole days!!! Unbelievable, I know!! They left this morning and won't be back till Wednesday night! YES!!!!

Today was great, for the first time in a whole month Emma and I got to spend our Monday Lunch break, talking and catching up, well not really, but hey! Any who, today was a little different, we got to make pots. I made two and Emma worked the whole time on one pot and it turned out really good too! My first pot kind-of turned out to be a soup bowl and the second one I made actually worked and it was perfect! hopefully it will not be the one to...disappear. :) Any who, Emma and I have a good time talking about almost everything, it rocks!!

I can't wait!!!! This weekend is the Murder-Mystery Party!!! I am Aerial LeSalt, I am going to have a really hard time pulling of that costume, so if you have any idea's post and let me know!! Lacey, your character sounds really funny!! I luv Sydnie's character, she will be perfect for the part! Nathan I am sorry, but I can't imagine you as a Life guard or even a swimming champion! And trust me, I have a few people who will back me up!! I am going to bring my camera and take plenty of pictures!!! I am so EXCITED!!!

Well I guess I better go, I will see you all on Wednesday Night!!
Brooke

I FINISHED!!!!

I am so excited now!! Yesterday was my last day of Drivers Ed!!! That means I can come to the dinner on Wednesday nights now!!! I did really well on my last test too, I was the only student in my class to get a 100%!!! I was so excited, but I didn't feel like the teat was that hard, in fact it was really easy. Now all that I have to complete are my three drives. I have three more and then I am done!

Yesterday was the first day of our hectic moving-garage sale. We all woke at 6 and started to get things out on the driveway and started to organize each table, but I have to say it looked like we didn't do a thing. We sold our fish though, so that was a plus. BYE BYE FISHIES!!!! We even put a for-sale sign on our van, with my dad's cell number on it and within the nest fifteen minutes some one had called him and asked to see the van on Friday!! I was a little upset because I LUV driving the van, its fun!

Well I know that this post is long but some cinnamon roles are calling me, well not really and I need to get ready for another hectic day!

See you all on Sunday!
