Update

OK I am sorry it has been a while since I posted so I am now going to try to make up for it. So my crazy teen life is still a bit crazy but fun too. Last Friday, I babysat in the morning and took these adorable pictures of the girls (Marina 4, and Summer 2):






Summer loooooves to play with my cell phone. I always keep the keypad lock on so she can't call anyone! LOL Marina and Summer like to play dress up and Marina loooves puzzles! She is so good at piecing together these huge puzzles.

After babysitting, I went home and changed into my swimsuit. Now mind you, its only 20 degrees outside so what do you think I am doing??? Well we went to the summit of course! (You seriously think I would go swimming in Winter?) : ) Anyways, we got there, signed in (we have passes from the 100 days to health) and we were about to go into the lockers when a women came out of the family locker room, took once glance at us with our towels and said, "Some kid did its business in the pool!" Ewwwwwwww!!! So we had to wait 45 minutes while they sterilized the pool so we could go swimming. Fortunately my brother got to play basketball with a friend who was also there for the 100 days to health. Once the pool was cleaned, I took AJ into the baby pool (really shallow water, like 3 inches deep.... wow) and he like it a lot. He probably thought it was a giantic bath tub with lots of toddlers. Well I didn't have quite as much fun because I couldn't go in the big pool but oh well. I will next time. When we came home, everyone showered to get the icky chlorine smell off our skin. That is the one thing I hate about pools, chlorine. It makes your skin dry and is horrible for acne. Ick!

Anyways, later that evening, we all piled into the car and went to pick up my BFF Katelyn to go to a comedian show at the local theater. The first two comedians were not so good... in fact one was really lowsy and he was only 13! But the 3rd guy, Ryan, was hillarious! He was by far the best and in my opinion, the only funny one. Well after the show, we came back to my house and Katelyn of course was spending the night to watch Monk and Psych with us. My babysitter let me borrow her queen sized air matress so we set that up after putting on our pjs. We stayed up watching last weeks Monk On Demand and then we watched random tv shows like Home Improvement with Tim Allen and such. After turning off the tv around 2am we talked for about 30-45 minutes and then passed out. Thanks to our mini grandfather clock by the fireplace, we woke up at 8am. Also my little brother was upstairs squelling with delight while playing with my dad and his plush dinosaurs. He loves making dino sounds now. He growls like a tiger and roars a bit now and then like a t-rex. LOL Well we had scrambeled eggs, hash browns, sausage, toast, cantolope, and strawberries for breakfast. It was a large meal and it was soooo good! Katelyn and I did of course help set the table and make the meal. After breakfast and clearing off the table, we went downstairs so I could show her the new sweaters I had bought at Kohls. Then we went onto the computer and watcher several Tim Hawkin comedian videos from http://www.godtube.com/ . Then we checked the stats on how my field trip planning was doing. I made a field trip to see a local play for my homeschool group. Good life skills. : ) After hanging out and chatting, her mom came to pick her up around 11am or so. It was lots of fun. Hopefully we will get together next week at her house to knit and watch my new movie College Road Trip (she hasn't seen it yet). The rest of the day draws a blank to my mind right now. I can't remember what we did. I only remember that after eating tacos for dinner, my mom, brother and I went to a Creation seminar at church. Well if I remember the rest, I will tell you about it. : )

Sunday, we went to church after breakfast. After church, we went to Antonio's Italian Cuisine and got soup and bread sticks to go. We ate them ate home of course. After lunch, I changed from my church clothes into soft pants and a hoodie and played a couple games with my sister. Later that evening, I changed again into jeans, a warmer sweater, scarf, fuzzy socks, my suede boots and my warmest coat and my whole family and I went to see the ice sculptures in a nearby town. Its an annual thing we attend almost every year (we didn't go last year because AJ had been only two weeks old when it was taking place).

Monday, I started the day finishing reading the book of Proverbs from my Bible. I had toast and tea with my mom for breakfast and we did family devotion. After that, I went downstairs to my bedroom/school room/ piano room/computer room and did as much schoolwork as I could in 5 hours. At about 2:55 or so, I arrived at my friends house for Little Women. We had a blast! We first did our group devotion, then we did a craft making little Valentine envelopes with candies inside (I will post a picture of mine closer to Valentines Day), then we played Sardines. If you don't know what it is, I will tell you. Its a mixed up version of hide-n-go-seek. The 1 person who is IT has to hide while everyone else waits in one room for 1 minute. Once that minute is up, they charge throughout the house like crazy rinos trying to find IT. As each person finds IT, they have to hide with her/him wherever the hiding place may be, a closet, under a table, behind a couch and the last person to find IT is IT in the next round. When you are IT (I was IT first) you are kinda freaked out hearing all these girls pounding around the house like they are hunting for you but it is soooo fun!!! Its hillarious when everyone tries to hide with IT , it becomes more obvious where IT is because its hard for 6 girls to hide in a place meant for only 1 to 2 people! : ) We blew a whole 55 minutes playing that game and had TONs of laughs when we did a human pyramid before we left. It was sooo FUN!!!!!

Today, I am again doing my schoolwork (typing this is my "recess" or whatever you want to call it) so once I post this, back to the stack of thich books on the table! : P Well tonight I am going to Bible study with my mom (we are studying the book of Esther and one the front of the workbook, it looks like this:

Its an AWESOME Bible study and I just love Beth Moore's teaching style. Well that is all I can fill you in about for now. Have a great day girls!!!

Keepin' ya posted,

how many people do you have going to see West Side Story? We're going on Saturday at 7. Jason said that it'll probably be the best show out of all of them. Tell me how you like it :) Oh and, the music might not be great for that show Josh said. Half of the pit won't be there. Sorry! You'll probably have a good time anyway :)
