Easter Weekend

My weekend was wonderful.
Thursday night I didn't have orchestra because of Spring break!! I babysat for Tarina and her two cute little kids! Adam came with me. 'Twas fun.
Friday morning Laura & John came pretty early. They were here all day and it was fun because I didn't have to do school, so I could just play w/them. They were here until we went to Grandma's that night for the Easter Egg Hunt. How I wish I was still young enough to hunt for candy! :( We went to church, and afterwards I went over to Jenna's & spent the night. We watched "Becoming Jane" but I didn't watch much of it. I fell asleep too fast.
Saturday we took the boys to an Easter Egg Hunt that lasted for 60 seconds. Then we went shopping! I actually had some luck... and even got a swimming suit!
Sunday was Easter! Mom never usually gives us kids Easter baskets but she did this year. I got a Lorie Line piano book. YAY! She actually didn't give me the book, just a little card saying I was going to get it. But she ordered it today! Sunday night we went to Uncle Ken & Aunt Sandy's. It was kind of boring until we got an exciting game of Catch Phrase going on. (Yes Heidi & Luke, you missed out!!) It was a very intense game. My team lost all 3 games.
Today Mom & I went to a rehersal of Joshua Bell w/ the Peoria Symphony. It was just the rehersal, so it wasn't offical. But we got in for free thru my orchestra goup. The tickets are $45-$70. We got lucky! And he is an amazing violin player.
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
Maybe I'll post pictures tomorrow. But I'm not promising.
Have a good day!

Hi again

How you all doing? I've done lots of exciting\fun things since my last post.
But, first here's a birthday!

Traever - March 13th (I think)

Well, Katie was here for a couple weeks. She spent the night at my house one night, and another night we stayed Grandma's. And we got the hang out a lot more than I thought we were going to be able to.

Here's us with our Monster Concert t-shirts

This weekend was the Mennonite Relief Sale. Somehow it just doesn't seem as fun as it used to when I was younger. :) After, Kendra spent the night. But on the way home from Bloomington, it was Adam, Kendra & I in my Dad's truck. So we're getting on interstate and Adam starts taking the wrong ramp(or whatever you call it). I told him he was going to Champaign, not Peoria... but he didn't listen to me. AFTER he took the ramp he goes, "Um, we didn't take the right one." So.. then we were going to take the next exit that came along. When we did, it wasn't really a exit it went to another interstate or something. Anyways.. we ended up in a little town called Shirley and we FINALLY found our way home without calling my Dad for directions! It took us at least twice as long to get home, but maybe I know my way around the interstate stuff better now!

Saturday I didn't do much... but that night I babysat for the Fritz's. Sunday I had A.I.M. It's basically a test on piano.
Sunday night we went to Phil & Jessica's for pizza.

Today I went to the shop to help Dad out for a few hours.
Tonight I watched American Idol. Go Brooke White.
Well, have a great Easter weekend if I don't update before then!

(sorry for all the short sentences:)
