A little late

As you may have noticed, the date for this post says April 8th. That's because I uploaded these pictures then, but never got around to posting them.(even though it only takes a click of a button).. But here it is!
Happy belated birthday, Mom!

We went to Monicals for Mom's Birthday.

Mom - April 7th

It's Spring!

It has been fairly nice out the past couple of days. I'm so excited, it's finally Spring! It's perfect weather for walking/running.
I don't really have much to say tonight. I'm not doing anything this weekend and I'm kind of excited cause I haven't had a weekend like that in a while. It's supposed to be really nice tomorrow, so I think I'll give Missy a bath. :)

Now for some April Birthday's:

Wes - April 2nd

Jamie- April 4th

There's more birthday's in April, but hopefully I'll post them on Monday or Tuesday.

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:)

Late, but not the least! :)

I forgot one birthday... AUNT DAWN'S!

Jan. 25th

Whenever I do birthday blogs I can see who I need to take more pictures of!
Well, that's all I have for today.
10-4.

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
