A Trip to the Neighbors and a Hit on The Head

Oh... Wow! It's been a long time since I have posted... SORRY :o Ok., anyway, I went over to a friend ( who is a neighbor) 's house to pick her up to come to our house so she could play with Carlie and I. Our Friend's Name is Sophie, and Her older brother, Zach, is in my grade. They made a zip-line thingy out of a chain hanging from a tree and a chunk of wood. you hold on to the piece of wood that is on the inside of the chain and jump off a raised platform (in this case, a Plastic mini car that little kids sit in and drive around). It didn't work well for me. first the wood broke, so we got a new chunk; a very big, solid chunk. When I tried again, The wood slipped and I let go. I landed on the ground ok but the wood landed on my head and made it not ok... I have a bump the size of Texas on the very top of my head and it is killing me. I will probably have to run the mile this week, which is a big challange for me. It will not be fun at all... I always end up feeling like I'm going to pass out or throw up :(

New Years Resoloutions

I know that it has been a good week since New Years, but here goes my list of New Years resolutions; hope you like them:
1. Beat my dad in Wipeout on the Wii
2. Control My temper with my siblings
3. Pray and say my devotions every day
4. Practise my trumpet more often
5. Obey my parents right away... ( if I don't, I usually get grounded )
6. Keep getting strait A's in school
7. watch less TV

Yeah, not much, but If I had much more I would't be able to keep track of them, let alone accomplish them. Over and out...( in other words, "See you later" )

Well, Christmas is officially over. It went by fast. Way too fast. I wish that I could have had more time with my family, especially with my family from Pennsylvania. Though I am sad that Christmas is over, I am excited for New Year's eve, when I get to stay up until midnight. I was originally going to have my two best friends from school, Lizzie and Veronica, come to my house for a sleepover, but Lizzie told me that she was going to Veronica's for New Year's eve.

Oh Well.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

We had our church play last Sunday night. Cooper and I, along with a bunch of other kids, were sheep. One of the sheperds set down her staff while she was saying her lines. Coop got sight of the big long pole and evidentally thought that it would be a blast to play with. He got up from the floor and picked up the staff, swinging it wildly around while screaming "Hy-Yah" several times. I almost broke out in crazy laughing from where I stood behind a whole bunch of toddlers dressed in fuzzy white hoods and shirts. Oh Yeah... sheep costumes are not only itchy, but hot. While I was almost laughing to death, I was sweating bullets also. I just thought that I would give you a report on the best Christmas Pageant ever.

:D

a year ago yesterday, I first met a little boy whom at first my parents called,'Cooper the Super Pooper'

Hey everyone! I just want to say that yesterday was the day that I first met my awesome little brother Cooper. If you are wondering why they called him Cooper the Super Pooper ( Bailey and Kaylee, you already know this because you guys called him that too, (; ) is because he had Giardia ( a sickness caused by polluted drinking water) and it gave him horrible diaherra. It is kind of funny because it feels like he has been in our family forever. Update on my mom: She is doing better; she doesn't have to rest on the couch anymore, but she is really tired, especially around six or seven o'clock. Part of that is probably natural tiredness like you and I and everybody gets at the end of the day, but she has been falling asleep right after supper, and she usually dosen't do that. Our Christmas play at our church was postponed until next Sunday because of a blizzard that hit our area ( no, not a Dairy Queen Blizzard, but that would be awesome!). See ya later!

Our Church Play

We are having a Christmas play at our church this Sunday. I get the awesome job of being a sheep... pretty cool, right? I also get to sing two solos: one in the song "The Friendly Beasts",which is about the animals in the stable and what they gave up for baby Jesus, and one in "Away in a Manger". My dad is making my sister and I listen to the sound track of the play while we are laying in bed so that we will know the songs better. I would rather listen to Adventures in Odyssey. Anyway, I know that you have probably heard somewhere that sheep costumes are itchy. No, I don't know if they really are itchy, and I don't know if i'm going to enjoy finding out.

On the other hand, there are only 15 days until Christmas! We always have our Christmas at our house early, what with going to my grandparents two nights before actual Christmas, so that would be 9 days away. Oh yeah... My mom has been having a sore throat lately. She went to the doctor, and they said that she had an infection on one of her tonsils. They gave her a shot of antibiodics, but if that doesn't work, they may have to take her tonsils out. It would be awesome if you could pray for her to get better. I will pray also.

Not Your Typical Wednesday

It was a typical Wednesday afternoon... ok, not really. The whole day was pure serendipity. I knew the day would be fun, but I never dreamed it would be this much fun. I was going over to my friend Lizzie's house because I was going to Awana (a Bible verse club) with her. I was so excited that I probably looked like I had terrible sickness like malaria that was making me go crazy! Of course I didn't, but still it might have looked like it. At the zenith of my excitement, I dreamed of provolone cheese at lunch as I drank my pasturized milk. My tongue burned because the night before, I got it stuck on an ice cube that ripped off some skin.

Lizzie and I hopped on the bus and chatted about our favorite Christian songs and somehow started talking about the story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible. In the story, desperados rob and beat the main character. However, a good Samaritan entered the debacle and showed the man great compassion by treating his wounds and setting him up at a nice inn. This story reminded Lizzie and I of the doctrinaire truth that we are to show love to everyone we meet.
When we arrived at the church, Lizzie served as my liaison, introducing me to all her friends. After we played some games, we researched some verses about the 12 disciples. The leaders of Awana told us to mark our calendars for next week because we were to dress like pilgrims. On the way home, a buck jumped out in front of Lizzie's mom's car. I wondered were he got his license.

I guess being so excited caused fatigue to set in. At the end of the day, I wished that I could have a back massage, macadamia nuts, and a steaming cup of oolong tea. The M&M's that I got that night looked just like a bag of confetti as I daintily popped one after another in my mouth. Ooh they tasted good! The whole evening exceeded my expectations.

(This was a school assignment involving my spelling words... don't think I'm crazy or anything!)
