Good weekend & Birthday's!

A Few birthday's from February:

Aunt Joan - Feb. 18th

Aunt Sandy - Feb. 25th -- Sorry about the photo, I couldn't find a better one! :|

I still have a few more to post, but I'll try and do that next time.
(I know, some of you don't like birthday posts...sorry:)

This weekend was good. It was relaxing, but still fun and not boring. Friday night I went to Kendra's. It was just me, Kendra, & Cliff there... so it was pretty quiet. I hung out there all day Saturday, too.
Saturday night we went to the home show and then out to eat. It was pretty good... except the home show got a little long, with Dad stopping to talk very frequently!
Sunday after church, I had a sacred recital. It went pretty good. I just played one song, "You Raise Me Up." Their was a lot better turn out than their was last year!! I think their was probably ten people last year, and this year their was 25! (that was a lot of their's..)
Other News:
This morning Dad left for Alanta.
We're in the process of training Missy(our Dog) with the electric fence. Except it's not working.. she's not getting shocked like she's suppossed to.
I have a babysitting job tomorrow!! :D
And, I got stat counter now! Now I can tell when you guys look at my blog! (not always, but sometimes I can.. w/certain ppl)


Have a good day!

It Snowed!

And because of that, I don't have orchestra tonight... I'm kinda excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my last post, I tried posting a really funny video, but apparantely(spell?) it didn't work. :( So sorry for the blank box. I guess I could delete it.. but I think I'm just gonna leave it there.
Lately, I've been making supper once a week. It's been kinda fun to cook and find new, good recipes. I love to cook, actually. But I have to be in the mood for it.So far I've had:
A Spicy Chicken (not sure what the name of it is)
Steak Roll-Ups
Potato Soup
Taco Skillet

And they all have been really good so far! Except the Steak Roll-Ups weren't the greatest...

*sigh* Well, not much else is new with me. I'm just really poor and I need my babysitting ppl to call me sometime... cuz it's been a really long time!

I have to go now. I don't know what to write about anymore these days. If I go into too much detail of stuff/things, I'd bore you all. So if there's any kind of ideas... that would be great!!:)

love ya'll

p.s. sorry if their is some spelling errors, Linds. My spell check won't work. :)

Pics from Amy's wedding

I was gonna update, but I don't know what to update about. My weekend was good.. my concert wasn't as amazing as I thought it was gonna be(how it sounded, I mean).
So since I don't know what to write, here are some pictures from Amy's wedding:

woohoo...

I remembered to post! Thanks to Luke's comment... :)
My weekend was fun. We went to Don & Trish Grimm's house. They have a girl my age and I've stayed with her once before. She comes to central IL every once in a while, so... yeah, we're friends. :) We left Saturday afternoon and then went to a potluck thing on Saturday night. Afterwards, Steph had a whole bunch of ppl over. We had fun.. but it got a little violent. Sunday was church and then we stayed for supper, but left at 5:30 because of the weather. It was sooo weird!! Storming and snowing at the same time? And it wasn't really snow, it looked like styrophone balls. On the way home, the guys kind of listened to the Super Bowl, but I slept thru it all. I was going for the Giants, and they won. But, I don't even know where they're from or anything. I just went for them cuz I liked the name "Giants" better than the "Patriots".
Anyways... not much going on this week. But the weekend's busy.It's my "Monster Concert." Everyone's invited! It's at Riverside Community Church in Peoria on Saturday, the 9th @ 5pm. And.. Guess what!? Katie(Schick)designed the t-shirt logo! I was gonna post the logo, but it won't go at the moment. I'll do it later. :) Anyways, the concert is really amazing because they have 12 piano on a stage and everyone's playing the same duet. It's pretty cool, I think.
Sunday is ACYF...woohoo... I'm jumping with excitment...

Oh! I have another cute little kid story!
Wes looks at a picture of Traever and says,
"That's Traever, he's a funny dude."

You just had to be there and hear how Wes said it!!


Hope ya'll have a good day.

Note: I was being sarcastic about the ACYF thing.

Babysitting Stories

So since I babysit so much I have a lot of cute stories about some little kids. Some of you might think this is pathetic... :) And, some of them, you just had to be there for them to be cute/funny


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 year-old Anna points to a hole in my jeans and asks, “what happened?”
Me: “Oh, it’s just a hole.”
Anna lays her head on my shoulder and pats my back. “It’ll be ok...” she says.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 year-old Sydney singing, “I’m just sittin’ out here, watchin’ airplanes, take off and fly!!” at the top of her lungs!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mom: “We’re gonna go eat pizza.... YAY!!!”
Laura: “YAY!! ....... I don’t like pizza.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laura was sitting on the floor quietly building a tower. John walked up and stood 2 ft. away from it. Laura screamed, “JOHN, NO!!!!” John just stood there, and Laura leaned over her tower, trying to protect it. She knocked it down herself and then got rather upset at John for knocking it over. Wesley then said very quietly, “She knocked it down herself....”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s all I can think of right now. I love little kids, they just crack me up.

Here are a few photos of some kids:

Jenna, Laura & Jamie

John = Sweet




Last weekend was Amy’s wedding. I guess it went ok... I could’ve done better, but... I kinda got side tracked with them coming down the isle & ushering people in and then I would lose my spot in the music.
This weekend we’re going to Taylor. I’ll post when I get back (if I remember).
Have a great weekend!!
