This is my teacher's friend Dr. Schreiber. She took pictures

for us while we were there

We went to a park named Timber Falls, they have bumper boats,

And they have a log ride,

And there is a roller coaster

After the roller coaster

This was the first time I rode one! I was too scared to put my hands

I've finally gotten around to blogging

2010-05-09T09:32:00.000-07:00

Well, I've finally gotten around to blogging! Sorry for keeping you stuck in January for so long! I'll start out by showing you pictures from spring break. The weekend before spring break I had a ballet performance called "Midsummer's Night Dream" after the last performance I skipped the cast party and headed for Alabama! :) (We decided we were going to Alabama like 2 days before!) We went there to meet Aunt Krista, Uncle Tim, their kids Cade, Cole and Claire, and their cousins. It was a 2 day trip and when we got there we were just in time for the sunset.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T15:47:00.001-08:00

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. We had so much fun playing with family in New Jersey. While we were there, we went ice skating, on Christmas eve, we played "Hide the Pickle" in that game my mom or dad hides a glass pickle on the Christmas tree and whoever finds it first gets to open a present first that night. For Christmas all of the family came over to my grandparents. It was nice to catch up with all my family.
I don't have a lot of pictures but these are the ones I do have.

What we have been up to

2009-12-22T18:38:00.001-08:00

I haven't blogged in a while but this is one of the first times i have had the chance to sit down and blog! This is what we have been up to.
Not to long after we came home from Minnesota, my grandparents came over to watch us while my parents went to Washington DC. While Granny Jean and Papa Kirby came, we had a huge blizzard so school was canceled. While they were here, they were able to see the opening night of the Nutcracker, which is my ballet academy's traditional Christmas ballet. (I was an Arabian dancer and a Rat) Then yesterday, we left for our other grandparents house in New Jersey. We stayed overnight at the Omni Bedford Springs Resort. It was very nice! We arrived at Mum mum and Pop pop's around 5:30 and we are enjoying playing with family.

2009-10-25T07:39:00.000-07:00

On Thursday, I went over to a friends house.

We watched Scooby-Doo movies, and just messed around.

Weekend Retreat

2009-10-18T13:09:00.000-07:00

On Friday, after school, about 6 girls in my youth group left for Pictured Rocks Camp in Monticello, IA for a girls retreat. It was a lot of fun! Once we got to our cabin, we played a few games, had a little prayer time, roasted marshmallows, and told some stories. Then we all went to bed. In the morning, after breakfast, we made some friendship bracelets, played outside, and messed around until lunch. After lunch, we did some activities outside, had a Bible study, played some games, and went on a hike until dinner. After dinner, we packed up the van and went home :(.

Volleyball tournament

2009-10-10T06:09:00.000-07:00

Last Friday was our school's Spirit Day. On Spirit Day, all of the students dress up in School colors (Yellow and Blue) and each class does a cheer. Whoever has the best cheer gets the Spirit Stick. When the school day was over, our Volleyball team left for our tournament. After a few hours in the van, we went to a Red Robin to eat dinner. After eating we went to a mall nearby and had some fun shopping! Then we went to our hotel, played in the pool and went to sleep. Then next day the team woke up early to get to the school where we were playing . We spent a little time getting to know the players at the other team by playing some games, and then played volleyball. I couldn't get any pictures of the team playing because unfortunately my camera ran out of battery. :( But our team played really well! And it was a lot of fun!

Vacation Vacation!!!

2009-08-06T19:18:00.000-07:00

To clue you in on what I have been up to, I came back from Minocqua on the 1st. It was a lot of fun! Our regular day consisted of tubing, horseback riding, mini golfing, go cart racing, swimming at the beach, playing cards, or just hanging out with friends! I had a lot of fun! unfortunately I didn't take a lot of pictures, but my friend did so I will make sure that she emails them to me!

Not long after I got home, we decided we were going to visit my dad's family in Kansas! So after a 9 hour drive, we arrived at my grandparents house! For dinner, we ate at the triangle restaurant and we met some family there. That night everyone went back to my grandparents house to play. The next day, We went down to my aunt Karen's house and my cousin Jordan and his wife Cammie came over with their kids Brylee and Brennen. Shortly after, Eryn and her son Ethan came. It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone again!

Birthday Party

2009-07-23T07:41:00.000-07:00

The night before my sister Gracyn's birthday, I stayed up really late wrapping presents, and in the morning Gracyn woke up bright and early! Because I had a treasure hunt set out for Gracyn, I didn't want her seeing anything so I had to stay with her until Mom woke up and we could start the treasure hunt. It took a while but eventually we could start it. The whole idea was to find the key to the locked box with one of her presents in it. She was so exited finding clues! When it was over, I crawled back in bed and took a long nap. We had lots of popcorn for lunch at the movie theater while watching a movie. (Ice Age 111) Then, for dinner, we went out to her favorite Mexican restaurant. On her cake, we put trick candles so she was out of breath by the time we put them out. After presents, everyone was really tired and went to bed!

Gracyn with her balloon.

In other news, Logan left for Hockey camp in Minnesota today and he will be gone for a week. Then on Saturday, I will be leaving with my friend Alexis and her family to Minocqua, Wisconsin. I will be gone for a week as well!!! I will blog when I get back with all the details of my trip.

HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!!!

2009-07-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Gracyn!! Hope you have a great 1st day of being 8! I love you!

Jumping Jane's

2009-07-19T16:24:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you a funny story, over a month ago, we got magazine that had an article about a nearby bouncy house called Jumping Jane's, and somehow Gracyn had found it and read it. Then, yesterday Gracyn went with Dad to get his haircut and Gracyn found out that the hairdresser had the same birthday as her, ( July 20th ) and the hairdresser asked Gracyn what she was going to do for her birthday, and she replied, "I'm going to Jumpin' Jane's!" We however had no idea she was going. Apparently, Gracyn had saved the magazine, and kept it in a special place!

So today, Mom and I looked up the website to see if we could take Gracyn there tomorrow. Unfortunately, they are closed on Mondays, so we decided to go today. Gracyn was so exited! When we arrived, we had no idea it was going to be as crowded as it was! There were about three birthday parties going on! But Crowded or not Gracyn insisted to play! She had a GREAT time! It was only Gracyn and I playing because you can only play if you are 12 and under so Logan stayed home with Dad. We were there for 3 and a half hours bouncing, bouncing, and more bouncing. We finally had to convince Gracyn that we had to go so we put on our shoes and left.

Finally at Jumpin' Jane's!

Our Weekly Events

2009-07-17T08:48:00.000-07:00

On Monday, Gracyn went to her first day at Vacation Bible School, she had a lot of fun! The day before, my dad signed her up for a Kids ‘N’ Critters Camp at the Humane Society, and that is right after Vacation Bible School. So this week, we have been dropping Gracyn of at VBS, bringing her to the Humane Society, hanging out in Dubuque and then picking her up. When we picked her up the first time from her Kids ‘N’ Critters Camp, she looked like she had the best day! Yesterday while waiting to pick her up at VBS, we went to the park and I ran to my "secret" berry patch there, and enjoyed picking berries. Then while we were waiting to pick her up from her camp, we went to a yummy Japanese restaurant!

Gracyn with wearing her cute dog hat they gave

her at the Humane Society!

HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!!!

2009-07-13T08:49:00.000-07:00

I want to wish my Pappa Kirby a happy birthday! Sorry this post is one day late! I Hope you had a great day yesterday! I love you!

In other news we have been back for a while but one fun thing I did the night before I left was my Grandma taught me how to use a sewing machine! Together we made a tote bag! It was a lot of fun, and then with the extra fabric we made a wallet!

Using the sewing machine!

The Zoo!

2009-07-08T08:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we went to the zoo and we met my mom's cousin Sandy and her son Lee there. Lee is 5 years old and he is really cute! When we got there, we headed straight for the back of the zoo because they were letting people ride on the camels! We stood in line for a while and then it was our turn. The camel's name was George. That was the first time I ever rode a camel! Then we looked around at all of the animals. Aunt Brenda and I was looking forward to seeing the giraffes which is both of our favorite animals. When we saw them we found out that there names are Stella and Gus. We saw lots more animals, and then we drove around in swan boats. After that, we got some ice cream and then rode on swan boats. After some ice cream, we went on a carousel. Before we left there was one more thing we wanted to do, and that was a like playhouse area. We were taking picture there when a cute little girl came up and smiled for our picture! She told us her name was Cameron. The zoo was closing so we had to go home. When we got home, dad cooked us yummy lobster and clams!

What we have been up to

2009-07-07T07:26:00.000-07:00

The last time I blogged, it was on the 4th of July. I ended up going to my uncle Marks to swim again. I was there until about 5:00 when my mom picked me up. Because I was outside all day without sunscreen, I had to pay the consequences with a horrible sunburn!

We went on a walk to the park and we saw some fireworks while we were swinging. To get a better view, we stood on some nearby bleachers. We decided we should head back, but while we were walking on the sidewalk, we saw a perfect view of some fireworks. So we sat down right on the sidewalk and watched the finale until we went home.

That night Logan pulled Gracyn's tooth out! He has pulled everyone of her teeth so far. The next day we were supposed to go tubing on the Delaware river, but I was hurting so much because of my burn and I couldn't go outside or even put on a t-shirt without hurting badly. So my aunt Brenda came over with her two dogs, Buster and Rocky. We also went to the park. But we didn't do much after that.

On Monday, we went with my Uncle Mark and his family to the shore. We went to Island Beach State Park. We were able to let the air out of the tires and drive on the beach. We had almost the whole beach to ourselves. Almost the whole time, I was boogie boarding! We found a dead sting ray that a fisherman caught and it just washed up onto the shore. We swam for a long time, looked for shells, fished, stopped for ice cream, and then went home.

That night, my uncle Richard brought over his girlfriend and her daughter Kelsey. She is just a month younger than Gracyn and they get along so well! I will post about what we did yesterday soon!

On Thursday night, My Aunt Brenda came over, and we decided after dinner that we were going to go to to the park. It was all new equipment since we were here last time. Yesterday, We were picking vegetables from my Grandmother's garden and we had more that we could possibly eat! We decided to set up a stand outside and sell them! We made $4.00 and 25 cents. Then he went over to my Uncle Mark and Aunt Sandy's house. They have 2 kids, Samantha who is 14, and Mark who is 10. We played in their pool, hot tub, and bounced on their trampoline. We heard a sound and Mark shouted "Ice Cream Man!" So dashed out of the pool and bought ice cream! It was the second ice cream truck I have seen! After our ice cream was a gobbled up, Samantha went and got water balloons, and we played with those for a while until we had to go home. Then my cousin Lauren came, she is in college. I haven't seen her for a long time! Then at about midnight, My uncle Richard and his girlfriend came, and they brought two bunnies! They have been taking care of them since their nest was ruined with the weed whacker. Today, we are not quite sure what we are going to do but we will figure something out. Happy 4rth of July!

Road Trip!

2009-07-02T14:43:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday, we decided that we were going to go to New Jersey to visit my grandparents. So the next day, we packed up, and drove until 2:00 in the morning when we stopped at a hotel. This morning, we started driving again at 10:00 and arrived 2 hours later. We have been hanging out here with our grandparents. They have a beautiful garden, and so today we were picking vegetables. We will be staying for a while so I will try to keep you all updated on what we do.

Birthday, Anniversary, and Going Home

2009-06-25T17:55:00.000-07:00

On Thursday it was my birthday, but not only that, but it was my Granny Jean and Papa Kirby's wedding anniversary! Aunt Krista told me I could come to the Dairy Queen she owns with uncle Tim and decorate my own ice cream cake! My cousin Cole, my mom, Aunt Krista, and I went to the DQ and we picked out what to put on the cake, picked the colors, and put the card that had what we wanted on the cake in a projector and that projected the image onto the cake, and I traced the image with the edible decorating gel and soon we were almost done! We took a brake, ate some lunch and them finished the cake with the orange frosting. When we went home and went to lake and stayed their for a while until we went home. We played at home until a water connection broke in one of their walls and it started to flood in their kitchen, we turned the water off to the house and a plumber came and fixed the problem. We cleaned up everything and then we went to Cade's baseball game. When everyone was home, we had dinner, and then had my ice cream cake and opened presents. It was a really great day! Thanks Aunt Krista for making everything great!

Yesterday, we went to Cole's baseball game, he did great! During his game, Gracyn, Logan, Claire, Cade, my mom, and I played at a park by the baseball field. Then we went to a really nice second hand store and I got some jeans and a shirt. We kind of hanged out at home the rest of the day, but after dinner, we took my mom and dad out to see the Lady Slippers then we went to bed.

2009-06-23T21:33:00.001-07:00

Today, after a stop at DQ, we went to Fairy Lake, and after much swimming my aunt Krista received a call from my dad saying he was in town, so we went home and not long after, Mom and Dad came home! After dinner, we went to Cade's baseball game, he played really well! When we got home Grandpa Kirby taught Logan, Cole, and I how to play poker! Earlier, we picked up playing cards and poker chips from the store. We ate pretzels and wore baseball caps to help us look and feel like real poker players. We had lost of fun, but I am glad we played with poker chips and not real money!!!

Day 2 at the Neubert's

Yesterday all of us went to a swimming pool before Church which was lots of fun! Then after Church, we went to Dairy Queen. Today, two of the Neubert's cousins, Kate and Kelly came over and played with us. Then we went to a nearby lake and played for a while. We had lots of fun playing with all of the beach toys! Claire and Gracyn were digging a big hole and pretending it was a hot tub. I am amazed at their imagination! Afterwards, we took another stop at DQ and then headed for home. We played some soccer but it was really humid out! Then we got the great idea to spray each other with hoses! We split up into two teams, Cole, Cade, and I, against Logan, Gracyn, and Claire. It turned into a giant war, but it was a tie at the end! Tomorrow I am looking forward to my mom and dad coming up here!

We arrived!

2009-06-21T12:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday after a long drive, we arrive in Minnesota! Today, we went to church, and Granny Jean, my Aunt Krista, and I went to the grocery store, and then all of the kids played hide and go seek. Claire and Gracyn are like two pees in a pod! They are playing together all the time. Today we are planning on going to a pool in a hotel, and them going to their church's night service. Unfortunately My camera won't download pictures on my brother's computer. So when I get home, I will post all of the pictures. Hope you all are having a great fathers day!

Grandparents!

2009-06-19T18:20:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, My Grandparents, Granny Jean and Papa Kirby arrived at our house! And right before they arrived, Gracyn and I got an empty box, and colored it with chalk for Granny and Papa, and placed it outside. But this morning, there was a violent storm, and washed all the chalk off. Today, we went out to a Mexican Restaurant, and played around at home. Tomorrow we (Granny, Papa, Gracyn, Logan, and I) will drive to Minnesota to visit family up there!

Fun Sand!

2009-06-17T10:24:00.000-07:00

The other day, we went to Menards to get some things, and Gracyn spotted something called Fun sand. Now we have a sandbox, but the sand in it is moldy, we never play in it, and we never had the time to clean it out. So our lovely father got it for us. When we got home, we cleaned out our sandbox and filled it up with the fun sand. Then we sat in the sandbox and played there for a long time! Gracyn now plays out there everyday!

The Sandbox after being washed.

The sand would stick to you.

Our New friend!

2009-06-15T10:14:00.000-07:00

This little guy came to our house the other day! Gracyn found him in our cat's mouth, and she became very attached to him. She named him Hopper.
The culprit
Gracyn with the bird in it's temporary home

Of course, we couldn't keep the bird so
here is Gracyn Saying goodbye to Hopper.
But we havn't seen it so we don't know if it is living
happily ever after, or if the cat ate it again.

Chicago!!

2009-06-10T21:28:00.000-07:00

My dad needed to be in a suburb of Chicago, so we took advantage of that and went to downtown Chicago! Once we got settled in our hotel, we swam in the pool, and got pizza. The next day after breakfast, we went out to Millennium Park. At Millennium Park, there is many things like, The Bean, and fountains that have faces on them that spit water out of their mouth and then change. After Millennium Park, we walked to Navy Pier, which is a great place that has rides, a giant movie theater, a children's museum, and much more! At Navy Pier, we took a boat ride on Lake Michigan, road on the Farris wheel, saw cirque shanghai which was like a show you would see at a circus only better! (I got pictures on my sisters camera but sadly, I cant download them.) Then we saw a movie and went back to the hotel. Then the next day, we went to the American Girl store and Mom bought Gracyn and I a doll, and then after we went to the Apple store, we went home :(

Pedicures With Bailey

2009-06-10T20:04:00.001-07:00

About two weeks ago, my best friend Bailey, called me and asked if I wanted to go get a pedicure with her and her sisters, of course I said yes! So I spent the night at her house on the Monday of that week, and we went to a nearby YMCA, and swam, played racquetball, and played some games, then we went home, and her cute cousins came over! Eventually we went to bed, and in the morning we went to the mall to get our pedicures with her sisters Ivy, and Bethany. The place we went to was amazing and had some pretty odd nail polish colors to choose from! Bethany and I chose shades of red, while Ivy chose black, and Bailey chose green! After the pedicures, we stayed at the mall a little longer and then headed home. Bailey's family is trying to sell their house so that day they had a showing. So we went to the park nearby where my mom picked me up. The next day we headed out of the house and had lunch, and played at a park! The park Pictures will be in a new post.

School is out!!!!!!

2009-05-28T10:58:00.000-07:00

Yes it's true! School is out, and I am so exited for summer, but at the same time I miss my class and my teacher! And speaking of my teacher, she had a beautiful baby boy named Iain Pitman on Friday! Our class got to see him yesterday! You can read about him at http://babypitman.blogspot.com/. Yesterday for our end of the school year celebration, we went to mini golf with our class, and then went to country inn and suites, to swim! So Now I can honestly say I am a 7th grader!!!! Now, Gracyn is at a sleepover party with her friend, and Logan went to a end of the year class trip with his class. So I am here, just wondering what to do this week because I have no school!!

Going Home.... = (

2009-04-17T15:19:00.000-07:00

Right now I am happy because I finally have Internet connection and I can write on this blog! I am at my friend Andie's house in Boulder, CO. We will stay tonight and leave tomorrow to go home, if the weather clears out. Right now it is snowing, there is more than a foot of snow on the ground! I keep telling my dad that we have to make it home before Wednesday, because then I will be taking a class trip to somewhere in Wisconsin I think, we will come back on Friday, so that should be fun! I am wondering if my teacher will be coming though because she is pregnant and due around May 15. So we will see. I will post when I get home!

Colorado!

2009-04-11T06:41:00.001-07:00

Tomarrow for Easter I will be going to Denver to see some friends. I will be returning to Illinois next Sunday, so then I will post all the pictures! I hope all of you have a wonderfull Easter!

I am very happy because I found my camera plug-in and now i can post pics from Coppellia! (The ballet I was recently in) It was really fun! My part was called the Legend of the Wheat and there is this old legend that if you shake wheat and it rattles then you have good chance of love so I come and shake wheat in people's ears and they are REALLY comical about it! Ignor the picture that are sideways...i still haven't figured that out.

Kylie, Kateri, and Hope.

Maria and Andie were really hungary at the time!

I once again I am sorry I haven't blogged in a while. In Hawaii we went to a few beaches for our last days and then we left = ( . Then when we were home and situated I went slept over at my friend Bailey's house. When I came home my dad was gone in Pennsylvania. Then on Monday we got back to school for the first time in a million years (more like one and a half week.) And today I went back to ballet. I will show pictures tomorrow, because right now my camera is missing. Hmm.

Hawaii day one and two

2009-01-20T10:39:00.000-08:00

Day one in Hawaii went well! Uncle Ed made his famous candy chicken for dinner...(yum.) Gracyn and cousin Piper are two peas in a pod! They are having so much fun together! Immediately when we arrived Piper wanted to play in the pool with cousins. They especially like playing with Harley, Piper's English Bull dog. It is nice just to relax in the pool! Instead of snuggling in layers of clothes to keep warm!

Logan, Gracyn, and Dad looking out from the plane at Hawaii.

Day Two was fun as well, Gracyn and Piper got out their little Car thing and forced Harley get in : ). After lunch we played in the pool again but still didn't go to the Beach. The rest of the day was basically rest and relaxation! Although we did watch a few movies. Today we ae most likely going to the beach! Sorry, I don't have many pictures.

Gracyn, Piper and Harley.

Aloha from Paradise!

2009-01-18T17:36:00.000-08:00

On Friday we left for Chicago, and spent the night in a really nice hotel! Then on Satyurday we went to the airport. We were going to catch a flight to San Fransisco, and then fly to Hawaii. But unfortunatally it took a lot longer that expected! to cut a long story short, our flight got cancelled and we rebooked our flight many many times! We ended up getting on a flight to San Fransisco, and then we spent the night at a hotel. then this morning we got on a plane to Hawaii. We got ther about 4:00 our time and noon their time. I was relaxing in a pool. and spending time with ocusin Piper ever since I walked in the door! Piper in about Gracyn's age. Well, I'll post more later.

weekend review

2009-01-11T16:25:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't blogged in a while but I have been really busy! I want to wish my cousin Alex a happy birthday!

Last week, we went to Coroville wich is in Iowa. Logan had a hockey game there. And the hockey game was in a mall!!! My friend Lindsey was there, and she brought my other friend Maggie! The weather got really bad that night so we spent the night at a hotel. We had so much fun!
Today, we went to rockfield for another hockey game. And there was a really niiceice rink. There also was a playplace there, I will post pictures soon!

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-27T17:44:00.000-08:00

I apologize for not being able to blog on Christmas, but unfortunately, our Internet was down at home. Christmas eve we went bowling and that was really fun! then we were at home the rest of the day. Then, Logan, Gracyn, and I wanted so badly to do the "Pickle". The Pickle is a family tradition at our house, were my mom hides a glass pickle in the Christmas tree and whoever finds the pickle first, get to hide it next, and after everyone has hidden it, we get to open one present early! But sadly Gracyn fell asleep so we weren't able to do it.

Christmas came and my mom was making up excuses for us to wait longer! But we had enough when she said we needed to feed the less fortunate before opening presents! So we started opening! It was one of the best Christmas's I have ever had! but then we noticed three more presents under the tree. But Mom said we were going to look fr the pickle! Well this year our tree is about the deadest tree ever because whenever you even tough it, lots of needles fall of! And the smell is just weird! We thought this would be the easiest year ever for the Pickle, but we were definitely wrong! it took about 20 minutes untill Logan found it! so we quick opened up our presents and we were definitely surprised! Logan got a video camera, and Gracyn and I got a camera! I love my camera!!! Thank you Dad! And Gracyn loves her camera too! she has taken SO many pictures! And for my late Christmas special I am going to post pictures!

Here is our Christmas tree (sorry I can't figure out why it is sideways.)

Here is our lovely angel! I made it in Fourth grade.

Then we went to the movie theatre and saw The Tale of Desperaux. It was so cute!

Thsi morning I woke up and all of the snow was gone!

Happy Christmas Eve!

2008-12-24T10:10:00.000-08:00

I want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas eve!!!!!!!

We got a tree!

2008-12-23T17:18:00.000-08:00

The last Nutcracker ballet was on Sunday, and everything went great! My mom surprised me this year and instead of giving me flowers gave me a Webkinz Chipmunk! For those of you who don't know Webkinz are fun stuffed animals that come with a secret code to unlock a virtual world, with your "pet". It's a great gift and even my mom loves it! Well anyway afterwards there was a cast party and that was fun.

Yesterday a doctor from Chicago came to work at my dad's hospital and he brought his cute 5 year old little girl with him! So me and my friend Brooke baby sat her, it was fun. Then Brooke slept over. That night we went to Youth Group and I won a huge stocking full of stuff! But the biggest event that happened yesterday!!!! Ready? OK here goes........we got.............a CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!! We have been talking about getting a tree for a long time but we have been real busy and Christmas kinda snuck up on us this year. Some people are like Oh we have had our tree up forever! But that is definitely not us!

Snow day

2008-12-19T07:27:00.000-08:00

OK then Ready? ................She got..............an........Iphone!!! Yep that's right my mother got an IPhone! She loves it as far as I know!

Well this week have been the best week ever!!! We had a test and our most wonder full teacher said we could use our study guide! Or we had Hot cocoa. Or we have been watching movies! But today was SUPPOSE to be out HUGE Christmas party, BUT it's a horrible SNOW DAY!!! This is the 1st time I have hated a snow day!!! Oh well.

Today is our 3rd Nutcracker performance. Everything is going well! Yesterday we had a big snow storm so when we did our video taping. Our instructor even said we could sleep over at the theatre if it was that bad!

I wan to ask something. There is like a competition among schools here. U.S. Cellular is giving out $100,000 to the school who fills out the most post cards! So can you help our teensy weensy Christian private school? Here is all you have to do...

Go to your local U.S, Cellular and ask for a postcard.
Fill it out and put Tri-State Christian School in Galena Illinois the blank.
Send it in the mail to the U.S. Cellular.

Thank You SO much!!!

Weekend fun

2008-12-08T16:10:00.000-08:00

On Friday, we left to go to the Great Wolf Lodge in the Wisconsin Dells!!! It was SO much fun! We were actually there for a hockey game for Logan. There is a kid named Jack in Logan's class that in on his hockey team, and he has a twin sister named Lindsey and she is a good friend if mine and she came and brought here friend Maggie who I know also, it was awesome seeing them there.
Friday night when we got there, we went straight to the water park. And later I went on the Howling Tornado with Lindsey and Maggie. It is a ride that requires a tube and you go down a slide like thing really fast and then sway back and forth real fast and you get soaked, it is so much fun! that night we got pizza and then Logan and I went to Jack and Lindsey's Room and we just talked until 12:30.
On Saturday Lindsey Maggie and I were in the pool until like 1:00, and then we went to a place called Wiley's Woods, that is like a playhouse for little kids, then My mom sister and I went to see Santa!!! It was fun! Then we went to the Water park and played. Then we went to Jack and Lindsey's room again and we had a S'morez party! It was really microwaved S'morez but they were still good.
On Sunday we had to leave but we spent the morning in the water park and then we were n our way home. We stopped at a Chinese place For lunch and it was good! And I got food poisoning so when we got home I was throwing up all night!
Today I stayed home from school because I didn't feel good and I woke up at 12:00 and so my mom and I went to the Hospital to eat lunch. And then we picked up Logan and Gracyn From school because school was let out early at 1:30.

Well today after Ballet, I saw Madagascar 2, It was really funny! And then after that we went to my favorite restaurant The Star, and that was really good.
But on Monday for lunch at school, I am planning on eating a Spanish omelet! Because at school in Social Studies we are studying WW1, and we are suppose to eat something that Americans would of eaten during that time, that would of been either meatless, wheat less, heat less, or sweet less. So that will be fun to make!
And on Monday, my grandparents, Granny Jean and Papa Kirby might be coming up!!!!!! I am SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Barack Obama

2008-11-05T05:25:00.000-08:00

Well, we have a new president! You probably already know, but it's Barack Obama.It seems kind of strange talking about someone taking George Bush's place. And when I think about it, this is first election I remember, because I was too young to remember when Bush was elected.
Well lets just pray that he makes the right choices.

Kansas trip Tuesday

2008-08-13T07:33:00.000-07:00

Well every time I go to Kansas I have Sonic almost every day. So of course I ate at Sonic. Most of the cousins went to the pool, while everyone else went to a scrapbook store. When they came back, we left to go to another favorite place, The Triangle. It is a place of American Mexican food. After that we headed over to my Granny and Papa's house, to roast marshmallows and play with 2 of the three little cuties Hadley, and Kira,(Ethan didn't come)
That was kind of of a quick overview of my trip yesterday.
http://jessicabryson.blogspot.com/ click on this to go to my cousin Jessica's blog for pretty much everything I did. And If you see under my picture there is a little thing with names most of them are here with me so feel free to check it out!

OK I know I haven't been blogging, (Tsk,Tsk) But I had a good reason, I was in Minocqua, which is in upper Wisconsin With my very close friend Alexis. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I LOVED being up there, but I did get a tan and really sun burnt. My schedule included Horseback riding, jet skiing, bumper boating, tubing, swimming, paddle boating, canoeing, biking, scootering, playing games till midnight, staying up till 2 am, waking up at 10 am, And OF COURSE SHOPPING!!!!!!I had SO much fun! I will see if I can get pictures up soon of the trip. And then the reason that I didn't post this week was I was to busy pulling out two teeth! Yes I know I can't belive it I sat thinking a tooth that was loose for a while, but a tooth write next to it came out and then the other one! And my "Tooth Fairy" spoils me always and this time I got a dollar coin, and a webkinz (my newest craze) and then for tooth #2 I got another webkinz, a dollar coin, and a awesome game for my Ds! But the bad news is I can't play it because My Ds is out of battery and I need to charge it but I don't have a charger. But o well today I am going to get my teeth cleaned I LOVE THE DENTIST! I don't know why but love the dentist hate the orthodonist. Well I am going to work at a girft shop in my dad's hospital. (My dad is the ceo of the buisness) BYE

American girls

2008-07-24T06:32:00.000-07:00

Well if you had been to my house you would notice I had 7 American Girl dolls, witch is a company for girls, they make dolls, and baby dolls, and a lots more, well when I lived in Colorado, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, I got a look a like doll witch if a different company (the biggest thing before American Girl) And I named her Emma. Then we herd that the company got sold out. So then came American girls and my favorite thing to do is collecting all the American girls of the year! They are limited addition and you can only get them in that particular year. And for my birthday, when I went to Chicago, my mom said only clothes is what I am getting and my dad just got back from Chicago, and he brought back the American Girls of the year MIA!!!! And in the mail Gracyn got Josephina! So now I am as happy as can be!!!!!

4RTH OF JULY!!!

2008-07-03T15:06:00.000-07:00

Well, today I went to swimming lessons at 9:00. But lately I have been setting my alarm for 6:00, and of course, I do not wake up, so then at like 7:45 I wake up and think "OH NO I HAVE SWIMMING IN 15 MINUETS!" And then I realise that swimming starts at 9:00 not 8:00.
And today was the last day, because of the 4rth of July, and so we got our report card things today. And for the last 3 years I have been in the same level with the same teacher, and they always say the same thing, "You need to get stronger." And so this year I actually got a different teacher, and he said, "Oh perfect Regan!" But the lady who is in charge of everything says," You need to get stronger!" And when I got my report card, right away I saw the thing that said advance a level! I am SO happy!
After that we went to a adult day care 4rth of July party, wich was fun! And then we went to the library to prepare for the parade they are putting on, and I will be in it.
And so that is our normall day...BUSY!!!!!
Bye!

We are back!

2008-06-30T18:05:00.000-07:00

Well, we finally got back from Chicago, it was a blast! I got to bring my friend Alexis, so that made it even more fun! Today was my soccer game, and my team still hasn't lost! We are undefeated! I have swimming again tomorrow, and my class gets to do disrobing! I can't wait I have never done it before! Disrobing, is when you practise for if you fell in the water with your clothes on, and you use your clothes as a flotation devise. So I can't wait. Well I need to take a shower now.

SEE YA!
