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!=
