So last weekend was my birthday. It was pretty good... after church my family and Jenna went out to eat at Old Chicago. I love their pizza! We came back to our house, and I opened presents. Everyone was kind of blah that night.
On Wednesday I went to Fritz’s to do piano lessons, and they had decorated for my birthday. It was so cute. They had a banner across the piano, party hats, blankets covering my chair and the bench and Amber played happy birthday on the piano. :) Then, they put little presents in the books. I think my favorite one was Wessie’s. He gave me a multicolored heart that he made by himself, he told me :)

On Thursday, I started orchestra! EXCITING! I made 1st violin, 8th chair. It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it’s not the best either. (what seat I got, I mean) Yeah, so practice is every Thursday night, and the music is pretty hard.

I start Drivers Ed on Monday! I’m so nervous I’m going to fail it or something. Cuz if you have to take quizzes/tests every day... I’m not very good at those things no matter what it’s on. So, that’s every night from 4:30-6:30. I don’t think I’m going to survive sitting there for two hours every day, plus I have to do my school every day!! :S

Last night Jenna & I babysat together. It was really fun. We only had 3 perfect little angels. Hopefully we didn’t brake the people’s TV though.. :) Oh, and we watched part of “Miss Teen, USA.” lol.... I had to think of Jill (maybe it was Jessica too) who would just die if they didn’t get to watch that or “Miss America.” We didn’t finish watching it because Jenna messed up the TV and we couldn’t figure out how to change the channel... so I had to look today and see who won. It was Colorado. Yay for her.

Have a good day.
Love ya’ll!

Lots Goin' On

And I mean lots. Normally I'm extremely bored in the summer... but this year has been kinda crazy.
But, the summer is over now. :( We started school yesterday... and I was so not ready for it to start. Since we're going to Mexico this fall and are taking 2 weeks off, we had to start extra early. It's pretty easy so far because we're kind of just adding on a couple subjects a day.
Katie gets here in 3 days, and I get to see her in 4!!!! It's been over a year since I've seen her... and for those who don't know, we get to take drivers ed together too. I'm superly excited. I'll get to drive (w/someone over 21) in just 15 days! Ok, so all those exclamation points are getting kind of old..
Ok, well my mother needs me... she's kind of gone wild with cleaning out, and now I have to go help her.

I'm going to post pictures one of these days... but if you have facebook, they're already on there.

love ya'll!

swimming!

So this week has been a swimming week. I had only gone swimming 3 times this summer. So, to make up for I went swimming Tuesday at Fritz's, Wednesday Hyde, Katelyn, Jenna, Jamie, Kristen and I went to Splashdown, and today I went again to Fritz's. I GOT FRIED today... It hurts worse than it looks too. I guess it was my fault.... :D

Hey! My enter button works now!

So tomorrow I have to babysit... and I really need to go shopping sometime this weekend...anyone wanna take me? :-)

School starts in a week and a half! :P NOO...The summer can't be over!

My Birthday is in 17 days! :-) Then I can drive!!

I'm sorry blog readers, that my post is so short... but I have some work to do...
love u!

WOW

So it's been a really long time since I've updated. So.. here goes an extremely long new post(I think...). Ok, so in June our family went to Wisconsin. It wasn't the best year of going up there, but it was pretty fun. Our cabins were not very nice at all and the weather was kind of rainy. BUT, I got to go to a Lorie Line concert. For those who don't know who she is, she's an amazing piano player. She played some solos, but she also had 5 members of her orchestra w/her. It was a 2 hour concert and it was amazing. I also go to try water skiing!! I got up on my first try, but I only go to go twice. :( My cousins, Jake & Janell Fehr came up with us this year and stayed with us in our cabin. It was a little tight, but we survived. A few weeks later, I went to Kansas. Heidi took me out there and stayed for a couple days. I went stayed for about 2 weeks. It was a lot of fun... we went swimming, did aerobics, layed out and lots of other stuff. I was never bored, and I didn't want to come home, but once I got home I was glad I was home. (that sounded kind of wordy...) This week is the Woodford County 4-H fair in Eureka. I have to turn in some projects tonight, and I still need to finish them. For my photography, I took pictures of Laura. She is so adorable, and I love the pictures. I'm going to be at the fair all day every day. But, I guess there's only 3 days. :-) Saturday night we had Schick cousin night. It was a lot of fun. We went mini golfing at Roc Ice Cream(I'm not sure what the name is..) in East Peoria. Ok, so I'm going to post a few pictures, and then I've gotta go make cinnamoin rolls for 4-H. oh yeah, is my blog the only blog that won't let you use the enter button? More Pictures to come!

Happy Birthday, Linds!!! Love you!

So, I got this email the other day from my dedicated blog reader, Aunt Sandy:


Are you going to neglect your blog as badly as your sister is? I know you have
a lot to tell us about Wisconsin and the Lori Line concert! And don't claim
that you're too busy. It's summer you know and you're not married yet, so you
can't use that excuse like Heidi does.
Love you-
Aunt Sandy



I know, I'm not married, but I am busy...I'll update about WI another time!

Love you all!
