Update On My Life

Title: Update on my life

This past week was the 4-H Fair!!! It was fun, but it got a little boring after being there all day every day. Some of my highlights include:

-Being the ice cream ladies with Kendra!! We were really pretty good, but if you ordered a sundae, and it looked awful, that’s because Kendra Rose did it! :)  

-Hanging out with Jessica, who I never get to see!!

-Holding Jessica’s adorable puppies!!

Some of my not so highlights:

-Modeling a fleece coat in 90 degree weather

-Feeling like you’re going to faint because of the heat

-Setting up the fair, and cleaning it up


On Friday I had violin lessons. I have a recital coming up this Friday night, and I sound AWFUL!!! Oh well...
After lessons, we got to go and see Reagan, my newest cousin.

When we got home, I cleaned all day...and we did corn. We had to get it all done ‘cause we were having a Bible Study at our house that night. Technically, Heidi was hosting it, but I did all the work.  WHOOPS!!! I forgot Kendra. Let me rephrase that.

Kendra and I did all the work. True story. Heidi just chatted online, and was being lazy.

ANYWAYS....

Saturday I just hung out at the pool and watched movies all day. Luke found a wild baby bunny that lost its mother...so it’s in our laundry room, and we feed it milk every once in a while out of a little dropper. I told Luke we should let it go, but he refuses. It’s starting to stink the room up.
I got to go to Kendra’s Sunday after church.... we just hung out...

My back is still absolutely killing me. Any massages are welcome!!

And I’m still looking for volunteers to help me with my room. :) Actually, I don’t think I need them quite yet...I kind of decided I don’t like my bedspread that much anymore. I love Heidi’s, and hers makes mine look not so cute. Speaking of Heidi, she left for Kansas.... I’m so jealous. I was going to go, but I couldn’t leave this week. :’( By the way, Hyde, I adopted your room this week! :D

Oh yes, I can’t forget!
WARNING!! Hyde’s been pretty testy lately; so you better watch out, right Kendra Rose?? ;)


So that’s just kind of an update on my life....

Heidi's Birthday!!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY, HEIDI ANN!!!

Stuff

Yay for me, I have finished my coat!! I finished it at about 4:00 Monday afternoon, and had it judged at 9:00 am on Tuesday morning! :D It turned out a little too big, but I'll eventually grow into it. Later on Tuesday, they had a fashion revue. I did awful, but who cares?! :)I have such a cheesy smile in this picture!! :P I got an A on my coat, and I find out at the fair if I got anything better than that, which I doubt I did.
After modeling, I went to Kendra's. I hung out there, and then Shelly and I went to her swim meet in Roanoke. As always, I saw lots of people I knew there from my old gymnastics class! Anyways, when Kendra would race, Shelly and I ran to the end of the pool and would cheer Kendra on!! (even though she can't hear you) Kendra lost a relay, which wasn't her fault, and she won one!! Kendra would kill me for putting this on here, but here she is, doing a great job!!

And as always, cute little Cliff!!


On Saturday, I got my bedspread!! I'm so excited, cause now my room won't be the little girly pink anymore! :) I am now looking for volunteers to help me take off wall paper, sand and wipe down walls, and paint. My colors are blue, green, and yellow. I really don't like yellow, but I needed some other color. Anyways, my goal for my room to be done, is my birthday. I hope it will happen by then!!


Next week is 4-H fair week!!! Everyone's invited to it, and if you come Wednesday night, you can see me model my coat!! :) It's Tuesday and Wednesday....Hope to see you all there!!

I'm My Sister's Servant

True Story

Indiana

Late Saturday morning we left for Indiana for my cousins graduation open house. We went with my uncle Scott and Aunt Dawn, so us girls (Hyde, Jamie, Jenna & I) got our own motel room. In the afternoon, we decided to go shopping. We only had about a 1/2 hour, and the mall was huge! We went to U. Dan & A. Sandy's for pizza, and went back to the motel to swim. We stayed up way too late...and ate way to much food. Jenna and I had tons of food right in the middle of us while watching a movie. Poor, poor, Heidi....we teased her so bad. But I won't get into that for Hyde's sake! ;) Sunday was church and I made new friends, unlike Heidi! :D Then we went to the Graduation Open House and we were super bored.
We had a lot of fun on the way home...except for Jenna eating the gross cheddar popcorn! :P We watched "A Cinderella Story" and listened to Jenna's ipod. It flew by, unlike the way out, with Uncle Ted in the same van as us.

My Fourth

On Monday, I was a little servant to my sister. I helped her clean out, wash windows, and tear off wall paper. Also, on Monday, I started my 4-H project, sewing! I’m not going to be in 4-H next year because it’s always a pain to try and get it done in time. This year, I’m making a fleece coat. Heidi’s made two of them, so she’s helping me. On Monday, I got the whole thing cut out! And it only needs to be done in less than two weeks. :D Last year, I got state fair with a shirt and jean skirt (thanks to Hyde)! Anyways, on the fourth we had all the Pfaffmann’s over. They came for lunch, and then after lunch a whole bunch of guys and I went swimming. It was definitely not as fun with a whole bunch of guys. They'd tease me about every little thing.. But we swam until about 4, and then we came back, ate supper then they all left. Then my family went to tell Bill & Joan good-bye. *sniff* I don’t want Kate to leave!!! Afterwards, we went to Eureka Lake and watched Fireworks. We were right by the water, laid down, and the fireworks were right above us. It was pretty cool cause it looked like they were going to fall on you! This morning I practiced violin for the first time in a month! Wow, I sound bad. Ok, well see you all later!

A Busy Week

Wow, my week has been very busy mostly because Kate is here. Let's just say I did something about every night, and every night I didn't get much sleep at all. On Wednesday, all the Schick "ladies" went out to eat. So, Kate and I babysat all the little kids who needed to be babysat. At first we thought it was just going to be Willow, Tate and Brenna. But, when I got to Billy and Jenny's, there was more. Not really one's we needed to be babysat...some of the Barth kids were there. Yeah, so we sat all the little kids to watch Dumbo.Then we decided to take them on a walk! HAHA...we had to look hilarious because Brenna and Willow were in this two seater stroller. Tate was in a one seater, and we were holding Henry and Monwell's hands. We probably looked liked we were a daycare business. We took all of them to watch some of the guys play baseball. On Thursday, Shelly and I went to Kendra's for a sleepover. It was kind of for her birthday too. We went in the afternoon, and we had a hose and water balloon fight. We played volleyball, and then laid out and talked for a long time. Later that night we did manicures and pedicures. Then we put on so much make-up we looked so fake. By then it was dark, and so we went outside and took pictures. We talked really late that night...and then Lori comes in and asks, "Can you watch Cliff while I exercise?" I said sure, but Shelly and Kendra were so mad at Lori! So, Cliff laid by me and slept. He kind of cried a lot because he wasn't in a good mood that morning. But I didn't care one bit! I love any baby/kid, even when they're crying! :D Anyways, Friday night we babysat Ashlyn, Brenna, Kyle & Trenton while all the parents went out to eat. Then they all came back here for dessert. They stayed here really late...so that made more less sleep for me. On Saturday morning, us girls (Kate, Jenna, Jamie & Me) went shopping. My Mom dropped us off at 11:00 and we didn't leave until 5:00. We literally shopped until we dropped. I spent way to much money!!! : I spent more in AE than Kate spent in the whole mall. Then the girls spent the night at my house. I think I grew some grey hairs that night. Heidi got home from work, and tells me that I owe her 70 dollars for pictures! I was like what in the world?!? Well, on Friday Heidi and I went to Walmart to get pictures. Well, I did mine and Heidi did hers. I accidentally pressed something that said I wanted to order all of the pictures on the memory card. And there was 412 pictures on that thing!! So, I went up to the counter and asked the guy if he could cancel the order. He said sure, pressed a button or two, and said they were cancelled. Obiouvsly not because Heidi picked them up (don't ask me why). So now, if they don't return them, that's 70 bucks down the drain for me. And that's a lot for me! So, that's all my shopping money and 70 dollars gone!*sniff* So anyways, that made me in a bad mood Saturday night and then I thought I left two of my Sunday skirts at the mall. So I was panicking and looked all over the house for them. Then, Kate found them in my closet... :D But, they were buried!! So Yeah, 7 people had to take showers that night...and we didn't get done until 12:30!! I was so tired and my back was killing me (like it has been) and so yeah, I was really really grumpy. Sunday night, we went to the greatest thing ever! (I'm being sarcastic) There was a Schilpf reunion/shower. There's 5 couples engaged in the Schilpf family. But, I was so bored...There was girls there my age, but I was so tired that I didn't feel like making new friends! :D So, I just walked around by myself and hung out with Heidi, who had friends.
