Another Sneak Peek (:

The last time we went to the river was September of last year and I never really posted pictures from it. Not that you guys really care to look at em' but I will put them up here anyway. :)

another lazy day...

I'm actually not supposed to be being lazy but I kind of am... I spent my morning pretty much cleaning and the I went out and ran a mile. I have some math to do, a couple blog posts to do on my other blog, and I need to finish vacuuming the upstairs. I ran a mile today in 8:13 which is faster than my latest time of 8:57. Right now I'm just sitting here watching TV when I should be doing math... I could be sitting here at least doing sit ups or push ups... so I guess I should go do that instead of playing on the computer. Maybe I will have some kind of pictures later today or tomorrow. Hope y'all have a great day!

it's on the side (:

you know that blog list that's on the side of my blog??? Well, I put it there for your convenience so feel free to check those out. I would really love it if you checked the Psalm 119:11 because that's mine and one of my friend's blog. It's really cool:). Hope y'all have a great day! :)

some sentences

Yesterday I spent about 5 hours outside playing with my neighbors. We had a blast! We did everything from playing on my old, old swing set, to riding our bikes down our street (which is a really big hill and is awesome to ride down). We played with chalk, rode scooters, drank lots of water, and just had a blast. I am so excited for all them to get out of school so we can do that all day everyday. During the summer I don't spend much time in the house. I love being outside and hanging out with my friends. It's awesome and they're awesome. Well, we're having company over tonight and my Mom is bugging me to go clean the bathroom so I will go do that.... have a great day!

blowing bubbles (:

my boys:)

I don't have a picture of N... guess you guys will have to wait for that one. :)

I Can't Belive it's Here (:

This is my lest official day of school!!!!!! I can't believe summer break is here:). I'm so happy right now... I can't believe that school is done (except for math) and that summer break is here!!!! Well, I will try and get a new picture to post... maybe even go back to posting a new picture everyday... who knows:) Hope y'all have a great day!

it's 9 o'clock...

it's actually 8:52 but whatever... I know I said I wouldn't have time to update my blog after I got home today... and I don't... but I am. I don't really know what I'm gonna talk about... After I cut the grass and blew off the driveway, we went to watch my sister do a mud run. I have to admit it was more amusing then anything else but I am proud of her. She walked away alive, breathing, and with no injuries. She is sore and a little swollen but, that's to be expected. I mean it's first mud run... what should I expect? Anyone who knows Ashley should know that she's not the 'outside' type of girl. I am. She isn't. It's as simple as that. For me to see my pink lovin', diamond wearing, cute as a button sister going head first into a mud puddle the size of a glorified kiddy pool and then to see her finish out that whole thing... through more mud... it was amazing. Will she ever do it again? I don't know... probably because she's just cool like that. A bit of a change of subject... tonight once we got home me and my neighbors discovered that the three eggs we have been watching in my back yard had hatched!... well 2 of the 3 have. Another thing to add to my good mood:). Y'all have a good night!

Another Saturday Goes Down in the Books...

Well, actually Saturday isn't over yet... oh well:). I just got in from cutting the grass... I cleaned my little nasty self up and now I'm gettin' ready to go and study for my last Science and History tests! I can't believe Monday is my last day of school!!! Since school will be over very very soon I will hopefully have more time to update my blog... hopefully with more pictures than words:). I had my last piano practice on Wednesday, I had my last soccer practice on Thursday, and Monday will be my last day of school! Since everything is pretty much over for the summer I will have time to do things that I have been putting off... like organizing my closet again... cleaning out the garage for some extra cash... maybe washing the cars also to get some extra money:)... and hopefully I can do some soccer camps this summer. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go fishing on the river and swimming at my grandparents pool so hopefully I will be able to do that almost every weekend:). Well, I better go and study for my tests... hope y'all have a great day! :)

it makes me smile :)

you can just see the seriousness in my face... it makes me smile:)

Easter Egg Hunt - Before and After :)

So, as you can see from these pictures, you're never too old for an Easter egg hunt:). Hope y'all have a great day! :)

take three

In this family it takes not one....

but three tries to get a good family picture. And look at all that good Easter food:)

a whole lot of nothin'

Well, it's 10:30... it's Friday so it doesn't really matter but I'm tired and I still have to get a shower... oh well:) I was checking my email a few minutes ago because I just got home and I got a really funny email... some of them were just so funny I'm gonna have to show them to you guys:) here ya go:)

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats..
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.


GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground...
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy..

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional...
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions...
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

Hope these made you smile:)... if they didn't go read em' again. Have an awesome night:)

a short note before bed

I just got back from soccer... and I didn't have to wear my knee brace! I had forgotten what it felt like to play soccer without it. It was beyond awesome:) Since it's almost 10:00 and I have school tomorrow I should probably get a shower and go to bed... hope y'all have a good night!

Looking Back... at our beach trip in 2009

I love the beach. It's so beautiful. Not only that but it's so stinkin' fun! I love body surfing and shell collecting and walking and watching dolphins... and just everything about the beach:) Of course, when this family goes to the beach... we do a whole lot more then normal... just wait till you see this year's beach pictures:) See, at the beach... me and my sister look like idiots and my Dad becomes and camera man with his hat on backwards taking pictures:) my Mom becomes and relaxed human being and can fall asleep at any moment... even on the beach in a chair. But that's how this family does our vacations and we couldn't have any more fun:)

Summer :)

During last summer (toward the end) I was really excited about starting school, getting into a routine, doing something that nothing... Now I absolutely cannot wait until summer! I am literally counting down the days until I can be free from this prison adults call school. I'm sure my view of school will change when I'm like 30 something... maybe. If the only subject I had to take was History I would be totally fine. Even if I had History and like Reading or Bible... but Math, Science, and English really get me... and what's bad is they're not even that hard! Oh well... I only have about 2 more weeks of school... :) I am super excited about our beach trip:) When this family goes to the beach we become the definition of relaxing. We do nothing. Absolutely nothing. I'm not going to get into that right now because that will make me start complaining about school and how it should be outlawed... :) Well, much to my dismay, I still have homework to do so I better go and do it... I will try and post a picture of the beach later today... Have a great day! :)

Summer Days....

I am just itching to go to the river again... and hang out with these goofy guys:)

Just a Little:)

Here's just a little snapshot of how beautiful our mountains are:)

A Few Changes

As you probably noticed I added some new things to my blog. You can look around on it and just see if you can find anything new... :)

Update.... On Life:)

Well, I know I haven't posted in a long time but that's mainly because of school and soccer and church... so with all that I really don't have time... I was thinking that if I did an update everyday in life all of you would stop reading my blog because my life really isn't that exciting... oh well:) I guess I could start out by saying that nothing exciting is happening in school.... or piano... just the same as usual. There is noy possible way I could be any more ready for summer with no school, no piano, not even soccer.... :) I can almost guarantee you I will be outside all day every day (if weather permits) because I'm just that kind of girl:). I hyperextended my knee about a week ago at soccer practice... some people would classify that as exciting... I, on the other hand, classify it as extremely painful. And no I did not cry;). Well, I guess I should go so you don't get bored reading this... Hopefully I will have some pictures to post soon! Unfortunately I don't have a working camera so phone pictures will have to do for now unless I get my Mommy to take pictures for me with her camera:). Hope you guys have a great day:)

From This.... to That....

Isn't it funny how I could start out as this.......
and end up as this.... it's pretty cool:)

Survey

As you can see, I put a poll on the side of my blog. I want to know what you guys like me to do on my blog. I would really appreciate it if you guys checked which one you think. Hope you guys have a good day! :)
