Wordless Wednesday

Uses for toothpaste...1. to brush teeth...2.????

Hello all, Here i am again with another early morning LATE nite post....i am at the stewarts with Kailyn, Evan, Ethan, Brooke, Faith, Shivangi, and my sis. We were playing concentration a little while ago...but we got bored and had notice that Rebecca had become a party pooper and fallen asleep. (kinda like on Christmas eve) SOOO Kay and the boys are always joking about putting toothpaste up the nose of those that fall asleep at a sleep over, so they nominated me to do it. (I don't think they wanted to be the one to get slapped...which i didn't) First, i put it up one of her nostrils and she didn't do anything. It's suppose to burn when she breaths in and i started to wonder if she was acctually breathing! She eventually woke up from us laughing sooooo hard!


Now they are all sitting in a cirle asking odd questions....current question "What do you wish you could do or what do you wish that would happen, that you know never will.''

We are strange little people, we know....but we are content to have fun in the harmless way of being strange.

Reflections of the Past Three Days

Christmas was a lot of fun this year!

We started the Celebration on Christmas Eve at 2pm. Papa Craig and Shivangi came over and we ate, opened presents, played a little music, and fellowshiped. We then headed to church and showed off some of our new stuff before hand, and Shivangi, Kailyn and I swapped gifts. Shivangi got me Totally Cute Boots! (that i really wanted) and Kailyn made me a scrapbook! It was very beautiful. This past fall Ashley had taken some pics of me and kay and kailyn had scrap booked a ton of them with a bunch of little sayings! It was a awesome present!

After we returned home (Shivangi with us) we got into our comfy pjs and started MOVIE NIGHT!!!! We started out watching fiddler on the roof (which is a 3hr movie) then at intermission we put in Chronicles of Narnia The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. After about the first 30mins of the movie had elapsed we decided we could no longer look at Peter in his bowl hair cut and had to put in Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian where Peter is SUPER cute. Then we got about halfway through that movie, becca was OUT and Shivangi wanted to see the rest of fiddler on the roof, so we finished it and by that time it was about 1:30 am or so.
Don't know where the next hour went but we talked and talked and talked...you get the point. Then i got tired of talking, well tired all together, but shivangi was not. So i had to just go get in my bed...i can still imagine her sitting there after i left staring at the wall waiting for tiredness to overtake her...hehe.

Christmas morning didn't arrive for us till about 11am....we were pooped....and mom notified us that we needed to be at nana's at 1pm. I now know why God didn't bless me with a 2nd sister. (that lives with me) We had a little trouble all three fitting in the bathroom to get ready...
We arrived at nana's and practiced for about an hour with brooke and faith, then it was time to EAT!!!!! Don't know why that is always the highlight, you'd think we don't eat any other time of year. hehe After that we all loaded up to go see grandma and play her a little mini cantata. She opened her gifts and then we headed back to nana's to open our own.

Surprisingly we didn't have anymore music that day, whereas usually it goes on and on.

Rebecca and I slept over at nana's, therefore i am super tired now because i was up till 2am again. We watched Kung Fu Panda. WHOOO NO NOT THE WOSHY FINGER HOLD!!!

Today we got up around 8, by the way the original plan was to arise at 7, and got ready to go SHOPPING!!!!! Uncle Ryan, Aunt Robin, Daniel, Brooke, Reb, Faith and I loaded up in the mountaineer to go to the mall. Believe it or not today i bought my very first piece of Aeropostle clothing. I also got a pair of shoes...we had too much fun.

When we got back, Rebecca and I went with mom to Goody's and Walmart for a bit more shopping and i am officially TIRED!!!

I shall now retire, maybe sleep for a few days.

Good Nite!

Springfield Heights Assisted Living

Last night was the second performance of Ms. Kim, Jesse, and I. We played about 45 mins of Christmas music for the residence while they had their dinner. Also, Ms. Thuy and Maggie, Jesse's Mother and Sister, played a few Christmas songs. In addition Mr. Stansell and Jonathan, Ms. Kim's husband and son, sang Away in a Manger.

Here are some pictures from the occasion.

After seeing some weird pics i'm sure your ready to hear about my abnormal aka weird life.

We got up Monday morning and mom said no school!!!!!! We decorated and put up our Christmas tree and decorated instead! It was fun, especially since we haven't had a normal size tree in several years.

This past week was pretty busy. I babysat Megan and Samuel on mon, wed, and thurs. Then i watched the Sweeten kids on Friday. (Which was yesterday)

Shivangi Vishnu Soni

Today's Featured Friend is Shivangi Vishnu Soni aka Smiley. I first saw Shivangi at church, she had started going to the school and didn't speak much english. I first made her aquaintance at the missions banquet in 2006. She made me think everybody thought that i like a guy...which i didn't. I didn't hang with her a lot till this past summer. We both had a membership at the YMCA and went almost everyday together. As we made our physical selfs healthier we also helped each other's spiritual health. We try to be accountable to each other for devotions and keep each other straight. Since school started back we haven't hung out as much...but Christmas break will be fun. She is a sweet, silly, fun, blonde, black haired, teen, with a awesome spirit and great desire to do her best to please Christ in everything she does.

Tyler, Ty, Ler

Just some pics of family. I'm gonna start doing a post on indivdual people just for the fun of it.

Tyler Robbie Campbell is my first cousin on my dad's side. A few years ago he moved to Colorado because his dad became a Pastor out there. But before that they lived next door to us FOREVER!!! When i was little i thought he was annoying and just another one of those guys with cooties and loved sneaking up on girls and scaring us, chasing our geese(which made them mean) and leaving fake snakes in our yard. But as we got older we became better friends, he got me in trouble a few times, we laughed, talked, had wars (with black walnuts and trashcan lids) and became more like family than friends (because we are). Ty is an awesome friend and i love having a friend that is close to my age and getting a guys perspective on things. Ty has a heart for the God and has helped me in my walk with Christ many a time.

Ty and Uncle Bob

Thanksgiving in West Virginia

This year is the first i can remember that we traveled for Thanksgiving Holiday.
We went to West Virginia to spend it with my second cousins, Jim and Debbie, and great Aunt Lou and great Uncle Ray. Here are some pics from the trip of us playing pool, and me and my new cousin Gavin James.

Rebecca is thinking hard and trying to be strategic.

Gavin James!

Me holding Gavin James at his First Thanksgiving.

He got pooped and went to sleep.


Also Jim took Rebecca and I skiing Saturday. It was a lot of fun....tho i think we invented a different way of coming down the mountain...and mind you it wasn't on top of the skis.

It was a lot of fun tho!
