More Partyin'

Alright, I can't let the other girls outdo me in posting. I usually try to post more often 'cause I don't have a face book. Oh well I haven't really succeeded in posting often though. Well, we had a great time in MO! It was nice being back again after nearly a year.

I'm really exited about our lake being dug out! It'll be filthy hard core! It won't be long til it's done. And when it is, I'll be spending nearly every day down there. It's gonna have an island, a rope swing and a sandy beach! We also have a canoe to use. That'll be way better than the 4 foot pool we used to have.

I had a super busy weekend. Lets see... Friday night we went to see the new Harry Potter. It was good but not for a Harry Potter movie. I'd hoped it'd be a little better. Anyway we stayed up really late then the next morning, we got up really early for a curriculum fair. It kind of seems like the homeshcoolers there in general are not near so nerdy and typical "homeschoolerish" (Is that a word?) as they used to be the previous years. Well, I got to meet Danya a girl Kezzi and Pris had already met at another curriculum fair and see an old friend of mine who I only get to see every couple years at curriculum fairs. That evening the four of us girls went to a 60's birthday party of a friend of ours Kelsey. We all dresses up as much like 60's as we could and went and saw Hairspray. It was really a high energy fun movie, but there was some inappropriate dancing in my opinion. Zac Efron made the movie a lot better. ; ) I think we all have a crush on him!

We got back to Kelsey's and had a blast dancing to the Hairspray soundtrack. Afterwards we played some games one of which was one person would start a beat and everyone would join in tapping on cups and making weird voice noises. It was so cool sounding. I love doing that. Well Kezzi and I decided to just spend the night there since we had to go to church near there anyway and it takes an hour from our house. Candace and Pris decided to go home. Party Foul! But we had fum without 'em anyway :b and stayed up and had some really good conversations till 2:30.

Sunday after church we went to a friends wedding and got there late because there was a misprint in the directions. Afterwards, there was a big dinner and dancing. I think that's how every wedding should be. None of that quick cake and punch and go home stuff. It's a celebration for goodness sake! We learned some square dancing-ish dances that were really fun and energetic. It was a ball. (No pun intended). We didn't get home till like midnight or later. So here I am drinking coffee and feeling the need to go swimming and get my energy out.

I'm so glad! Mom promised us a two week complete summer vacation were we get to sleep in as late as we want for once in our lives and not do one ounce of school. But after that we'll start up full force for the year.

Annnnnnnd I'm out...

~I'll be back~ (knowin' me it'll probably be a while though ; )

That was like, the best party ever!

I'm so exited! I'm finaly getting to do what I've wanted to for a long time! Next week I'll be starting piano lessons and in the fall I'll be taking choir. Also, all four of us may start taking voice with our neighbor. Yippee!
Saturday, one of our dance teachers had her 18th birthday party and graduation party combined. In the invitation, it said it was a Hiwian party. We got there and it really did look like some Hiwian beach resort. They even had Hiwian music blaring and the cake looked just like a sand castle. It was so cool. Well, I had a lot of fun swimming in the pool, playing volley ball, (my favorite sport) doing the limbo, taking a little hula class, having water fights, and watching fireworks. We got home at 1 and though the next day I was dead tired it was totally worth it! I also hurt my hip pretty bad jumping into the pool but it was still worth it.
This coming dance production is a modern version of the bible story of Joseph. It's gonna be pretty funny. I'm actually one of the brothers, Zebulin. Zeb the pirate. Yep. We each have a character we're dressing up as. Pris is a cowboy, and Kezzi is a break dancer. We also get to gather our own costumes, so I'll have fun with mine! I'll probably get some ideas from Pirates of the Caribbean.
This morning I woke up at 6 with a horrible ear infection and couldn't sleep. It still really hurts and the tylenol isn't working...waa...wa. Alright I'm shutting up.

Happy 4th Everyone!

Lightning makes me exited and sliding down waterfalls scares me

We're very much a traveling family. I didn't even have time to post before we left again for my grandma's cabin in NC. We went w/ our cousins, and of course if we go w/ them, it'll be fun. And it was! The first day we went to this really huge toy store for the younger kids to blow their money. Then we went to SLIDING ROCK! It's part of a river and it's solid smooth rock to slide down. It would be the awesomest place ever if it wasn't so darn cold. Nearly unbearable, but worth it. Then that evening we drove in an outrageous storm w/ lightning crashing everywhere. Incredibly beautimous!! I should be scared of it, seeing that we've have some close calls...but I'm not.

Well the next day we went on a hike to a huge waterfall, and discovered a place to slide down. It took a lot of guts and a final shove from Kezzi (not literally) to do it, but it was well worth it!

We had a blast and stayed there all day till it was time to go.

**Obviously I haven't had any time on the computer cause this is so old. I just now got to publishing it.

On Vacation

Well, I'm here in Mo bloging from the lap top at a friends house. We had a ton of fun at the resort with the S's. It was short though, and I wish we could have stayed there longer. We swam, swam and swam some more and when we weren't doing that it was TV time. We take advantage of the TV when we're on vacation because we don't have cable or satlelight and never watch it anyway. The night the S's left Dad and us girls went to the indoor pool and started making a whirl pool. We got everyone else in the pool helping us out. It was awesome. Then came the craziness. Dad did this really wacky belly-flop into the water that I can't even describe. Imagine an old man of 48 doing that. Everyone, even the people we don't know, were laughing at this.
Btw, how come I'm always the one telling about the weird or embarrassing things that happen? Maybe the other girls consider it normal and don't think twice about it. Or else they're just too embarrassed to tell about it. Who knows?
Well, after hearing so many good things about Worldview from Pris and others who went, Kezzi and I are going next year and Priscilla will probably go again too. I'm glad. It will probably be fun. And good for me too.

The Ridiculous Rescue of Mr. Bob

So, I was out standing by our trampoline and all of the sudden I hear this little "bzzz...bzzz..." in a rhythm. I look over and there he was, a helpless, stupid, gigantic horse fly with it's head that was much to big for it's body stuck in the net trying to get free. Well, I looked close to further examine the situation at hand and found that this poor fly was fated to die if otherwise I had not been there to pity the idiotic creature. This flie's crisis would have obviously been a hopeless cause so I pulled on the net a little to free the panicking thing, but alas... the head was still much too big and Mr. Bob (the fly) began panicking all the more. So, I courageously looked around on the ground for a stick with which I could poke the head through and finally found one of suitable size. I took it and pried the head through and low and behold Mr. Bob finally got free! So, seeing that I saved this flie's life it should be eternally grateful should it not? But no. Not even one word of thanks did it give me. It Just flew off and went on it's merry way without even a second thought of his rescuer. Sigh.*About the name Mr. Bob, it came from the name we gave a fly at dance class that used to pester us every time. We joked about another fly being Bob's girlfriend. So, since this one was five times the original Bob's size I assume he is Bob's father, and therefore Mr. Bob.

Hmm. This sounds like something C&ace would write...oh dear! I guess I can just say I had a C&ace moment. : /

Alright, Here's the Filth

Okay. I'm finnaly back blogging again. (I'm probabley saying that every time now.) Here's something I desighned for a t-shirt that I want like it. Too bad nobody makes custom shirts with your name and birth year on them. Or at least I haven't seen any. Kezzi and Priscilla both drew diferent ones like it with a different desighn. We should start some sort of buisness out of it ; ).

Well, we had another week off of dance again and getting back to it is hard work. Wed. youth went really well and this was the new youth pastor's fist time speaking there. He had a lot of good things to say. This past weekend Mom , Dad and the three youngest kids went to visit family in NC while the teenagers stayed home and partied! Well...not quite, but close to it. The first day we went to see Pirates of the Carribian 3. It's definatly the best of the three in my opinion. We were wondering if there will be a fourth or not. It's hard to tell. Anyway after that we went shopping (which happens to be a major weakness of mine : ) and blew some money. Then we went to a HiStory cast party which was a cookout with swimming and volly ball. Btw dancers, including me, can't really play! : ( It was a blast though! Then sunday, we left the house at 7:30 to perform a dance at a church. It was really hard since I'm totally not a morning person and add too the fact that we stayed up way too late. Not good. But enough bellyacheing. That whole day we spent with the family who owns the dance studio laughing and having a good time, going to their church, going to see a Marry Poppins dance recitle and seeing Pirates 3 again which took up the whole day.

Today Pris left for MO to go to the world veiw conference there. And, (I can't wait!) we'll be going there in a little over a week to a resort with the S's (most of you know who that is) and then staying with some other friends for the rest of the time.

Well, to those of you who've been nagging me to post, especially you Taylor, all you get is some boringness, so there it is.

A Little More Weirdin' Out

Friday night, after a baseball game, our family, Lori and Kenny and Grandma and Grandpa went to these peoples house that have a lake like the one we're going to dig out so we could take a look at it and ask them a few questions. It was in the evening and sorta chili but while we were standing around I heard this huge splash and turned around to see a pair of shoes go in the water, ...and of course I knew it was Kenny. He dove in out of the clear blue just for the heck of it. That's Uncle Kenny for you. After that we had to endure complaints from the boys that they weren't allowed to jump in too.

A ccouple of days ago, Luke Josh and I want down to the spring which is very muddy. It's so bad that any were you step it's either calf deep or up to our knees. We walked for hours along it and once we got to a place were we couldn't go any further,...we started a mud fight. They didn't show me any mercy. It was the most ferocious mud fight I've ever been involved in. (That kinda figures since the only other mud fight I've been in was only with girls.) But it was a lot of fun except I probably wont be having many more. Cleaning up was a pain.

Well, we've been really into ping pong lately but the thing is, we don't have a ping pong table. We actually use (sad as it is) our kitchen table. But a table big enough to sit our family isn't too bad for ping pong. We just shove aside the chairs, attach the net and it works great. It's just (like everything else about our family: ) a little weird.

Our dance recital is this weekend and I'm really nervous. I always complain about this, but we just learned the routines and have hardly had time to practice them. Our hip-hop song is really funny though. We're doing it to DCtalk's Jesus is Just Alright and it has the most wacky steps of anything I've ever been in. It's gonna look like we're having way too much fun on stage.
