Shopping

I LOVE shopping!

I got my mom to take me shopping today. And Fashion Bug had AWESOME sales! All in all, I got a pair of jeans, a skirt, and three winter shirts for under $20. (Grandma I put the dollar sign before the number:)

Anyway, we left the house at 1 and got back at 6:30, my mom was kinda tired. She doesn't like to shop like I do.

But I found a perfect answer to my babysitting problem. I have a really great friend, Meghan, who offered to do the days I can't. So if it is ok with the parents it will be perfect.

Ok, so about the babysitting itself: I got there at six and played with the kids out side while the mom finished getting ready. Then they left and we played outside some more. Some kind of tag game. I found out I'm not as fast as I used to be. Somehow I was always the one tagged and never could tag them! So we went inside and watched a movie. And then they took showers and then off to bed. They didn't want to go to bed that much. :) And then it was peace and quiet for an hour and a half. Then the parents got home and my mom came and picked me up and that was about it. They're really cute kids.

I really liked playing with them because they like to pretend and make up games and stuff. The other kids I babysit don't really like to do that.

Oh man, I just realized I have to get up early for church. But that's ok. The hard part is getting up and ready. After that it is really fun. I love my Sunday school class. Jared, the youth pastor, makes it really relaxed and more like a discussion than a class.

OK well, I'm not feeling very good so I'm gonna go to bed. So ttyl

My first interview

I went on my first interview on Monday. It was cool and she called me yesterday to see if I could sit on friday. She wants me to sit every friday or Saturday night. EVERY! I won't be able to do anything! I won't be able to go to Jolene's house for the weekend. I'm gonna have to tell her that I have to have a day off sometime. I mean I'm not going to be gone every weekend but I think once every two months is ok.

I'm reading this book: Marie Antoinette Princess of Versailles. It actually is the second time i have read it but there is this part where she (Marie A.) is getting ready for a ball and the seamstress is putting on her gown and she notices that attached to her hoop there are small glass vials the shape of teardrops with stoppers in them, and in the bottom of each vial was a drop of honey. She says: even Mama was confused when she saw them attaching these to my hoops. She asks "what are these?" and the French seamstress says they are for the fleas. And the mom is like what!my daughter is not a dog she doesn't have fleas. And the seamstress is like oh no not your daughter it is the pomade in her hair and the wheat flour paste that draws them. GROSS!!!

Heres how they did her hair: First they divided her hair into skinny bunches, twisted them tightly and pinned them to her head. Then they pinned pads of horse hair on top of that. Next attached false braids. then to the rest of her hair (they must have left some of the hair out) they caked on a spicy-smelling ointment called pomatum. After that they sprinkled it all with powder and finally pilled it all up very high. Also they twined silk roses and toy birds with real feathers into her hair. No wonder there was fleas!
OK well I have to go and do something other then stare at the computer! See ya!

Ok this week in a nutshell

Wow I have a lot to catch up on.

Monday we left at ten for Tillamook Cheese Factory. We stopped at the Blue Herring Cheese factory first. It was about noon so we were all hungry. We ate a lot of samples :) They were pretty yummy, but everything was really expensive. Then we left for the tillamook factory, We got there and it was crowded! We took the tour tried the samples and then got some lunch. We left and got to the coast at about 2:13 which was cool cuz I estimated we would get there at 2:15, I won! We got there unloaded the car and the went for a walk on the prom. We also stopped at the aquarium. That was pretty cool, I touched a really big sea anemone. That was awesome, I also saw a octopus.

Tuesday everyone thought it would be a good idea to rent one of those surrey's for a hour. I thought different but was out voted:)



So we get there and rent a double. I don't have to peddle!! So it turned out not to be the most embarrassing moment in my life. It was actually kinda fun. Then we went to the arcade and won a bunch of tickets and walked out with a bunch of candy:) Well I got a ring but everything else was candy. Oh and Tuesday was the day we realized that Bekah left her purse at Tillamook. So we called and left my phone # and a description.
lol silly girl. Ps may I mention I have left my purse at the mall and at Bimart, got it back both times:) I wonder where Bekah learned it:)

Wed. We shopped went out for lunch and shopped some more!!! I love shopping! I got this really cute sweatshirt it's white with pink writing that says Life Guard seaside OR. Lol this weekend a girl from my choir asked me if I was a real life guard:) I'm like oh ya I can swim really good:) no lol, I said no. OK wed... after we ate lunch it started to rain really hard so we went home and watched t.v :) then at like 5 it started to get sunny so we went for a walk on the beach. It was a nice long relaxing walk. I wanted to do more but bekah was tired so we went back. And we got a call that said they found Bekah's purse!! So ya she was happy.I'm pretty sure because she got her lip gloss back and not the $20:)

Thursday we slept in a little then packed and left for tillamook to get the purse. Of course we had to get some more samples:) We got back at my grandmas and lounged around the house all day! Oh and we saw National Treasure 2. That was really good, I love Nicolas Cage.

Friday we left for our house and then we rested for 2 hours then left for Portland city fest. We got a really good spot close to the front! That was cool. City praise was the first band, they were worship. The lead singer is the Pastor that married my Aunt Katy and Uncle Ben. He is so cool! Phil Stacy was next. He was ok but I didn't really know much of his music.

Then was Kirk Franklin. He was an awesome dancer but didn't sing very much. His background singers were really good. Ok then was Luis Palau he was the talker. It seemed like he went on and on but idc.

KUTLESS!!!! YEAH!! They were really really good. I love their stage presence.

Then Chris Tomlin. He is so aweseome. I love the song Jesus Messiah!!

OK I forgot to tell you how we got to portland:) The youth pastor drove some teens and two moms into Beaverton. Then we rode MAX into Portland. It was ok. Kinda full, we had to stand but it was bearable. Then on the way back:).... So first we had to walk to the ticket thingy at night, in the dark, in downtown Portland!!! SCARY! We get there and there is a really loooonnnnggggggg line. So we wait forever and the bus comes and goes and finally we get to the front. The good thing was the line was so long we didn't have to wait long after we got our tickets. Then the next bus or whatever they are called comes and it is crowded!!! Morgan and Erica and backed up against these guys and they are holding onto the bar and holding onto Allysa and I. And Allysa and I are standing in the middle, I'm holding onto Morgans hand and there are people all around us! And right before the bus came Morgan and I made the mistake of putting on our sweatshirts! So we are on the bus burning up with all these people. Finally Morgan couldn't take it anymore so at the next stop we held her backpack and helped her take of her sweatshirt, I just pushed my sleeves up. So we get to Beaverton and we go to the car and sleep all the way home.

Saturday morning we got up and got ready for OAKS PARK!!! oh I forgot to tell you the really sad news... get ready... you'll cry.... Jolene couldn't come. Waaaaa Waaaaa. I was so sad!!! So we get to Oaks park and almost everyone had brought a friend!!! I felt so left out! They immediately formed groups: the little girls, the big girls, the 2 girls who didn't like the scary rides and the boys and tomboy. And everyone had a even number! So the big girls invited me to go with them but they didn't seem very excited about me coming. So every ride someone had to ride alone or let 4 people ride then after they went one went with the leftover person. I went on the Thunder. I about wet myself waiting in line and going up the first hill. Ask Cara: I was talking constantly. "this ride is nothing!", "Grace rode this, I can!" and on and on. I'm sure the people in front of me were laughing or something. But I made it! And it wasn't even that scary. So then I went on the screaming eagle. It was fun at the start but when you saw yourself almost going upside down I was like oh my! So I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the nice breeze:) After we were done I had gone on the thunder 3 times! Well that was not all about oaks park but nothing important happened.

CITY FEST DAy 2 started fine. After the 15 minute ride there things started to go bad. We couldn't find anywhere to park! So we drove around Portland for 30 minutes and finally found a parking garage that was tall enough for us. Well it was deceiving, it was tall enough on the bottom 2 floors but it was almost to small on the others. Of course it was packed. By level 5 my mom and I started to get really claustrophobic! It was really bad. Level six finally had parking! Thank goodness!

So we are like 40 minutes late and we show up at the river front and it is packed. We go up to the fence were you go through to the front and it is all closed up! My mom asks some volunteer and they say you can go through on the sides so we swim our way to the sides and you cant!!! By now I'm really maddddddddddddddddd I mean really! I started to get cranky and you know how it is when you haven't slept much in a week and you are really excited for something but then your hopes and dreams get dashed to the ground! Ok that is how it was. I'm afraid I got really sad and there were a few tears, I just wanted to go home. Our choices were find a spot to stand really far away or go home. Again I was out voted! So we stayed. And I calmed down. I sat on the ground through Hawk Nelson and Mercy Me and Luis Palau. Then came Toby mac my favorite band of all time came on! And I was so disappointed that I was not up front but I had an ok time. I want Toby mac to come back next year! Please Toby came back!!! If he does I'll be there in the morning! right in front!

Ok so Sunday: I slept through Sunday school and woke up to my mom waking me up and saying I have 30 minutes to get ready! So I got up and got ready... boring. Then we went to the Lafayette church for the start to see one of my friends sing. He was good. I think the song was to slow though. Then we left for the Carlton church. And saw my favorite pastor.

After we got home my mom was checking her emails and there was one from our homeschooling group and someone wants a babysitter. So I called her and we are getting together tomorrow to meet each other. I'm kinda nervous but not really. Pray that I get this job because my regular babysitting job is going to slow down because my Caleb is going into pre school this year. So I need some more babysitting.

City fest day 2: Hawk Nelson

Mercy Me

Toby Mac








Ok that is about all.... ttyl

The Beach!!!

Ok, so I'm at my Grandmas house spending the night and in the morning we are leaving for the beach! I don't know if I'll have internet at the beach so I might not be able to post anything till Friday.

Today I was at church and I sat by these really cool people and their son (Caleb). He was laying in the seat between me and his mom and he had his feet in my lap. It was so cute! And I got to see my friends who had been gone for a while. One of them came back with a new hair style and pierced ears! She looks so grown up!

Ok well I have to go now so I'll see ya later. <3 Viki

I hate thinking up these blog titles!

Ok so I babysat today. I got up at like 7:30 and left at 8:45. And my mom picked me up at 4. That's a long day! So when I got there we watched Bambi. I forgot how boring that movie is! Then at 12 we had a picnic in their back yard (their back yard is HUGE and all woodsy). And we picked blackberries, it was so hot! Now I'm all scratched up!

After I was done babysitting I went to Wal-mart with my mom. I got these cute tops for only 3$.

Then we did other shopping and I found a GREAT bathing suit. It's brown and fits perfect. We also took ice cream bars to my dad who has to work OUTSIDE in the 100 degree weather. Poor daddy! P.S. I got an ice cream bar too. Yummy!

I can't wait for Sunday when we are going go to my Grandma's house and spend the night then leave for Seaside on Monday morning. I LOVE the beach and I LOVE spending time with my Grandma. So I can't wait! I'm going be gone Monday through Thursday.

We became friends and then Bf's. Her dad is in the marines so they moved : (((( We stayed friends but grew apart. Then in well I don't remember when I called he and we became really really good friends again. We never stopped being bfs but we just never talked or got together. But now we call text and get together often. So thats Jolie. And she came over friday the 1st and left yesterday : (( And I really miss her. Here is an account of what we did this week:)

Friday and Saturday we just hung out Sunday we went to church. Pretty boring. Well it was really fun but it looks pretty boring written like that:) Ok but Monday we went to the Salem mall and Jolie and I had so much fun!!! Kohl's had 80% off sales. Like shirts for 3 or 4 dollars! Way cool.

Tuesday we went camping. We got there at like 3 I think and we set up the tent then went to the river to cool off. Jolene and I got to share a tent. (Thanks Church!) It was really cool. So Wednesday Jolie and I went to the river by ourselves, we suntanned
and took pictures of each other and talked. So we just hung out the rest of the time.

When we came back the neighbors who were staying for the week from Vegas
had put all these welcome home papers all over our deck. It was so cute! So we made a thank you paper to put on their deck.

Friday we went to the beach with my youth group. It was cold but really fun. And then Saturday she went home : ( But starting Monday we both got kinda sick. Like whenever we saw something to eat it was like food yumm but then we would take a bite and be like sick to our tummy's so we ate like nothing except what we forced down.
