Not a Dream any more!

I had to get on to let you guys know that after tomorrow, I will not be blogging for a while. My dad is shutting of our computer! So I guess I will have to post about everything when I get to my aunts house in Kalispell! That's so far away, but it will be sooner than I think, unfortunately.

Today was great, and I was so happy to see all of your smiling faces!! I still haven't heard any stories yet, but I will be patient. I heard some stories from Lacey that involved Seth, they kind-of creeped me out! Any who, I am looking forward to tonight, and the picture slide show of our trip to Riverside! I hope that the slide show will be awesome and that there won't be any pictures of me! :)

I have a prayer request and I would love to have you guys praying for me. One of the biggest issues right now, is my dog, Queen. I have all ready informed my dad that if Queen is not coming with us, I am not going to Florida. I always remind him with a smile on my face, but I really do mean it! The problem is that we can not find any place to live that allows dogs. I am not going to leave her, but I am little worried about my dad. I am really scarred and I don't want to give my dog away just so we can get a good apartment! OK, so I now, that sound selfish and prideful but....but...its Queen! :P I would really appreciate all your prayers!

See you all tonight!!

Shopping Fun!

Hey!! Well today was pretty crazy!! We packed all this morning, which took forever, had lunch and then went to do some school clothes shopping for Derek!! Boy, that boy is picky!! You want to find out a boys true colors, favorites and things like that, take them shopping!!

The school that we will be going to, requires the junior high and high school guys to dress casual. The dress codes sound simple, but apparently for Derek there not as simple! Guys have to wear casual pants, no jeans or jean like pants! Nice shoes, no tennis shoes, and collared shirts! I think Derek is going to have a more difficult time adapting to the dress codes!

I on the other hand am going to do fine! I am used to wearing the clothes that they want me to wear for school, so that won't be a problem. The problem for me will be wearing a skirt or dress to school five days! SO far I have not had any problems finding the clothes that I need! Shoes is a different story! :P

So how is every body doing now that they are back home from youth camp! I totally have to hear some stories tomorrow!! I can't wait either!! See you all tomorrow!

Million Dollar Baby

Hey guys! Last night my family and I watched the saddest movie ever!! Million Dollar Baby!! So sad I was fight thing the urge to ball, I totally did not expect the ending either!! I can't say much because I don't know how many of you guys have seen it, so I guess I will keep my lips shut....well until I talk to you guys on Sunday!

Today is going to be the best day!! My dad and brother are going golfing so my mom and I are going to go to the mall, again!! Later My dad is going to take us all to the Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian! Derek and I have already seen it, but my parents haven't so I am looking forward to this afternoon a lot!! My dad took me shopping on Sunday and we were going to go see a movie but Prince Caspian started at 3 and ended at 5, so naturally we decided to go to Church instead! :P

Well that's all my new for now, I am almost to my one-hundredth post!!

Hmmm....?

OK, so maybe I am little over dramatic, it's not like I am like that all the time....right?? We left out house at, oh, 12-ish and we went to the mall to do some school clothes shopping. We went to Sears and we got some really good deals on some really cute clothes! we were going to swing by JcPenny's but we ran out of time! So then we had to drive all the way into Richland to the Dr.'s office. My appointment was first so my brother had to wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes!! i found out that I was also over due for a tetanus shot and the nurse said that I might have to do all three hepatitis shots again! I was so not happy!

Well when it came time to do the shots the Dr. explained how the nurse was going to do it and he was giving my tips on how to relax, so my muscle would relax and the shot wouldn't hurt as much, HA, that's a laugh! :P Any who, he started to tell me to think of some where pleasant, I look over to where my mom was sitting and mouthed, "not getting a shot!" She was laughing and I think the Dr. was thinking that she was laughing at him! Any who, the nurse came in and cleaned my air then I felt a pinch and it was over, I had to get to shots but I have to say that it was not as bad as I worked it up to be! Derek had to get a shot too, but he thought I was a big baby!! I MADE IT SOUND WORSE THAN IT ACTUALLY WAS!!! :P

As a treat my mom took my brother and I to Bagles and Gellato! It was really good, but in the end Derek and I both agreed that the Italian Ice was so much better!! Miss you guys all and can't wait to see you all on Sunday!

Quick News Report!!

Hey guys!! I know that practically all my blogging buddies are at youth camp, but I thought I would post any ways, so I can get closer to my one-hundred mark!! :) Monday was like every Monday around my house....busy and boring! I found out that I was going to have to go in to the doctors office on Thursday to get my last hepatitis shot. I was a little upset and nervous, even though Thursday was three days away! Besides that, nothing exciting happened!

Tuesday was little better. My mom took Derek and I shopping and I got to get a new pair of shoes!! That's always good right! They are really cute and I am hoping that when we go school close shopping I can sneak a couple of shoes into the pile! :P Later I made no bake cookies and we watched Deadliest catch!

Wednesday was absolutely boring!! Do you guys realize while Derek and I were in the youth room, playing pool you could hear a pin drop! That's how quiet it was!! Before we went to church though Tricia and her girls and our family went to Howard Amon Park and we got Italian Ice! It was so good too! While the girls went down to the river Derek and I played Speed we have been having Speed competitions and we have been playing Farkle a lot too! Any who back to church...my mom, brother, and I went to the prayer thing in the sanctuary, then after that my mom was talking to one of her friends, so i had to sit through the children's choir! At least I new two of the VBS songs that they were doing and I did them with them! Asher and Samuel were there and Samuel would not do the motions! In some ways he reminded me of Derek! :O shocker!!

Well, today is Thursday and I am not looking forward to my appointment!! I have avoided this shot for four years!! I am so nervous and scarred....I hate shots with a fiery passion! Well that's about all for now, so I guess I will see all of you guys on Sunday! I missed you all this week and hopefully I will get to see some pictures and here some stories!!

Swimming Fun!

Today was awesome! The swim party was awesome!! Derek and I were late, but hey that's OK, we still got there and had a blast!! I loved the inner-tube, but hated when every one would jump on it to try to flip you off....it was scary! :p Poor Derek and his eye. It's better now, but still that had to hurt!! All in all the swim party was awesome and we all had fun getting soaked and just goofing around!

Tonight my brother, my dad, and his friend Josh all have a tee time. So for three hours, it is just me and my mom! I am hoping that we will be able to go back to Shopko and do a little shopping!! That's about all I have to say for now, sorry this post is so short, but hey, that's all I have!! Talk to you all tomorrow, bright and early, for some even earlier!!

Sad but Happy News

The day that we all have been dreading has finally arrived. We sold our house today! Yes it is exciting that we finally sold but yet it is so sad to know that soon this house will no longer be my own! We found out only a couple of minutes ago, so I know that this post is not as long as most of them, but that all the new that I have right now! Thank you all so much for praying for our house to sell, even though it wasn't easy! Luv you all!

A family once again!

Hey guys!! My mom got home safely yesterday along wit my dad. My brother and I were so excited to have her home, it got pretty lonely during the day. When she got home you could tell that she was sad, but I new that she was happy to be home! She told us so many awesome stories!!

The funeral guy reminded my mom of the wedding planner on Father of the Bride and he would always call my great-grandma luv! From the stories that I have heard it sounded like he was nuts!! Then there was my grandpa who tried cooking pop corn in a mini-food processor! You have to know my grandpa to make the connection, but it as funny!! Then there was my mom's cousin Paul....he looks like the cave-man on the Geico (have no idea how you spell that!) commercials! I am not trying to be rude or mean, by making that comment, but that's the first thing that popped into my head! Tyson is taller than my uncle, and my mom's two cousins, but thankfully he is still smaller than my Great- Uncle Dwayne!!

Yesterday night we watched the movie The Robinson's. I thought it was a really cute movie, we got a whole bunch of laughs out of it, which is always good for our family!!

Well that's practically all the new news that I have right now, so I guess I will see you all on Sunday and tell you some more of the weird stories that I heard from my mom!!

Nothing New

Hey! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, nothing exciting has happened at my house this whole week! Yesterday though was a different story. Wednesday all ways seem to be jam-packed fir my family any who, I had an orthodontist appointment at 9:30 and that did not go as well as i hoped it would have gone. My orthodontist said that he would be able to tell me after another 12 weeks when I would be able to get them off!!! I have to come back in 5 weeks to have another check up, the only problem with that is....I WON'T BE HERE!! I am a little stressed right now! :P So after I got home I called my mom and dad and told them what the orthodontist said and that they would have to take care of it!

Lacey and Vada's dad came and picked us up at 2 and took us the the church so we could go to the park and play some games! I was so excited when we started goof ball but after a few minutes the heat was unbearable! :0 Any who, the river smelled funny, but thankfully it was cold!!

That's about all the interesting news I can think of so I guess I will see you all on Saturday!

Whats Up?

Hey every body! Last night my brother and I went to a birthday party and it was so much fun....wet but so much fun! The part was at the park where we did the survival courses with Randal, any who, we had so much fun! We had a water balloon war, but it kind-of turned into a water bucket war! Derek got Vada so Vada chased him down held him down on the ground and then I came and dumped a big bucket full of river water on him!! It was so funny and we were laughing so hard! Derek got me back, but he did it through the birthday girls step-dad! I was kind-of confused how come he didn't come and get me himself, hmmm strange!

Then later we played this life saver game....it was what you call strange too! we all had to stand in two lines and we all had different straws in our mouths. The solid colored ones fit into the striped colored straws. So one person would start off with the life saver on their straw and would try to connect with the other persons straw and pass the life saver on...it was really funny and tough!

Later, after the party, Emily came over and hung out with us and we watched the end of Monsters Inc. and ScoobyDoo 2. The second movie was really weird and we were all making fun of the acting and just the whole movie in general! We had fun and we talked a lot, but other than that the night went a whole lot better than I thought it would!! Got to go know, talk to you all on Wednesday...at the park!

Prayer Request!!

Hey guys!! I just thought I would get on and ask you guys to pray for my Grandpa, his dad died yesterday morning. It was a ruff morning and I know my mom misses him a lot, she only has one more grandparent. My mom is going to try to fly down to the funeral, but it is still up in the air right now, but my hopes are that she gets to go, it will be good for her.

Yesterday my mom and I went to Joannes and bought a whole bunch of fabric that was on sale, to make some skirts for me. We also bought some jacket patterns that are really cute and I can't wait to make them this fall, or at least try to make them. :) We started to work on one of my skirts yesterday, but found out that we did not have some material that we needed so we had to go back to Joannes yesterday and then we finally started on the skirt. We got a lot done, but then the sowing machine was acting up so we stopped for the night.

Well that's kind-of everything that has been happening so far, so I guess I will go and work on my book!! See you all on Sunday!

I'm Back!!!

Hey! My brother and I got back last night at around 6:10, it felt so good to be some where where the surroundings were familiar, but instead of talking about the trip backwards, I thought that I would start at the very beginning. Our trip started on Saturday morning, and we were all really excited! The bus ride up was awesome and it did not take that long a whole bunch of us kids got to play catch phrase and we practically played it the whole way there! When we arrived in the parking lot of the church, I am sure that all of us felt, some what at home, it was so good to see the small town again! All the KBC and RBC girls settled into the sanctuary, while the KBC and RBC boys settled into the youth building.

Sunday was awesome, the morning started off with pancakes, umm!! Sunday school was really good and we all got to talk and share are opinions, it was really nice! The whole way the pastor conducted the church service was just like my old church, it was so familiar! We got to go out the reservation later and it was so cool to see the place that we cleared out last year, it was awesome!!

Our every day schedule was always the same, we would wake up at around 7 o'clock would get ready, eat breakfast and leave for the Reservation to set up for VBS. There were so many kids, more than we all thought we would have! Nathan, Emma, and I lead the songs in the morning and afternoon and it went better than I thought it would and we had so much fun doing it too! After VBS we would head back to the church eat lunch and head back out to the Reservation to work on the small play ground. It was always hot, but we managed to keep a smile on our faces and worked hard!

I will post some pictures later because I can not find them!! Talk to you all on Sunday!=
