My Life

Getting the Hang of Things

2011-10-05T08:38:00.000-07:00

I think that title perfectly describe where I am right now. I'm getting used to school and talking out loud in class. I'm meeting new people! I'm trying to improve my penmenship.. Because I'm pretty sure when I go back to look at my notes I won't be able to make sense of the. There's one thing I'm still not sure about. Notes.. Am I writing too much? Not enough? How do I study from my notes..?

The other day I did my math homework. It's like the problems I did in high school only 6 times more! Which makes sense because instead of doing it every day I just have one class so there will be a lot more homework. But I was getting so mad because my dad's homework was neater than mine! I finally stole his pencil and summoned some magic powers and I think my homework looked better. Possibly.

I love college! I hate the chairs.. I think I also need to develop some better posture. Okay that's handwriting and posture.

I'm so lucky though, I'm pretty sure I won't have to write any papers this term. My history teacher just talks and we all take notes. And I wouldn't think you'd have to write papers in economics. I may be wrong though.. I wonder who many weeks are in this term.. I'm already 1.5 weeks through it!

Well I was laying in bed last night thinking of things to write about and I forgot EVERYTHING that I had come up with. MMM Abby is making eggs and potatoes. And I have nothing to do today until 11:30! Good day. But tomorrow will be better! School and awanas and dancing at ecd! I'm rather excited for ecd. Possibly because a certian someone will be there.. Possibly not though!

Day 2 at that thing called college.....

2011-09-30T09:15:00.000-07:00

HA! I'm totally getting the hang of it. If only I had just sat in on a class my senior year I would have known that public school isn't THAT bad. I no longer dread going to school. I actually quite like it! I love walking into that building ALONE and feeling like "Yes! I can do this! All by myself!"

My classes are.. Fine :) I like my history class but lately I've been hearing things that I don't quite believe in. It's sad how people twist history to what they believe. Come on guys! History is history! I have an economics class. It's just an intro class but I'm worried it's going to be really hard! I took economics in highschool.. I can't remember how I did.. Anyways each student is going to have to do this current event thing where you have to talk out loud in front of the whole class! I'm so freaking out! It shouldn't be for a couple more weeks.. Hopefully..

I went to a wedding yesterday. I just adore weddings! I love seeing love. I love love! I love songs about love, I love when the groom sheds a few tears, I love the kiss, I love everything! I started crying right away because other people that are important to me were starting to cry and ahhh! But it was a lovely wedding, I got to serve punch and play waitress. If waitressing was a better career I would totally do that! I think I'd rock at it. I love being polite and making people happy.

After the wedding I slept. Because the night before I babysat overnight. Oh boy was that fun! Darling darling girl. She started sleeping on her own couch but somehow ended up in mine. And when I decided it was too squished I moved us to the floor where she ended up under my blankie with me. And promptly at seven she woke me up with a gentle pat to the cheek and told me she wanted to watch a movie. So needless to say I was pretty tired after all my night adventures. But it was so worth it! It makes me want kids. And I'm only 18. That's how cute she was!

Later last night I went to the movies with my dear friend, Jeci. I love Jeci so much! I love how much we have in common, how it's so easy to talk with her, and how she always lets me do her hair! We saw The Help, which was such a great movie! I laughed, I cried. (wow so cliche) We both spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out how to open her water bottle.. But it was a great night!

Today I have church, celebration station, and homework. I've realized that when everyone was complaining about homework being so lame, they were right! Actually it's not too bad yet. I'm dreading my math homework though. My dad did most of it last night and it was like 8 pages, front and back! And then at Celebration Station we are going to learn about admitting again tonight. Last week we learned that when we sin all we have to do is admit it, and ask for forgiveness and then Jesus will take it away and never remember it! I'll have to read tonight's lesson again because I don't really remember what it's about.

Well.. I was hoping someone would be up by now but no one is.. I guess I'll do my hair or something. Everyone sleeps so late at my house!

I'm sorry if this post is boring to you. If it is, don't read it! By the time you get to this sentence you'll have already read the whole post though.. So that would be your fault!

Stay tuned to see how week #2 of college goes!

The Diary of a Homeschooled College Student

2011-09-28T08:00:00.000-07:00

So, technically I wasn't homeschooled. I was an online public schooled child. But still, I did my school in my pajamas and by myself. No school to go to, no other students to interact with, and no teachers! Then I graduated. And I reached that dreaded age. The College Age. The age where children are no longer children. They must make choices for themselves, possibly get a job, and if they want to get anywhere in life they must go to college.

Normal children who reach the college age have already gotten accepted to some college and registered for classes. I was shunning the college age so I decided to do NOTHING about it until about a month before classes started. Words of advice to future children coming up to the College Age. Do NOT do what I did. What I did was immature and irresponsible. But anyway after the usual blood, sweat, and tears I figured it out. Actually my dad helped me A LOT. I couldn't have done it without him.

Anyways! It doesn't mater how it happened, but I started school. Community college, yes, but school none the less! Once I was all registered I started freaking out! Public school?! Don't public school teachers breathe fire and scream and yell?! Don't students throw you in the trash cans and dunk your heads in the toilet? School?? By MYSELF?! When I have at least ONE sibling by my side everywhere I go. I freak out when I have to run into the store to get milk by myself. This is a problem. I can't go on with my life if I can't do anything alone. So I decided the idea of getting a HUGE backpack to stow away one of my sisters was a bad one.

I bought some new clothes, gathered some notebooks, and practiced that college walk. Just kidding about the walk. During the week before school I switched between extreme excitement to extreme nervousness! Mostly nervousness though. I FINALLY picked an outfit but I could NOT find a bag college worthy! Luckily my sisters best friend had something brilliant for me to use! Thank you Sarah! The night before I wasn't nervous at all.

But the morning of I was a nervous wreck! I thought I was going to throw up! My mom and sisters kept trying to talk to me and make me see it wasn't going to be a horrible thing like I thought it would. I couldn't listen though! But. As soon as I stepped out of the car I was like "Oh yeah. I can do this." And I confidently strolled into the college! Like a college student!

The campus is really small. There's only five classrooms so I wasn't worried about getting lost. Turns out both my Tuesday/Thursday classes are in the same classroom. So I made it through my first day of college. Just like that. I didn't embarrass myself, I didn't forget anything, and when the teacher asked a question to the whole class I actually answered it!

I know I'm making this out to be a BIG deal. But you have to understand, it was a big deal for me! So stay tuned to hear all about my life as a former-homeschooled, college student.

Wow!

2010-06-29T16:09:00.000-07:00

I guess it's been a while since I've posted anything. But I was thinking it's cool to go through and read these so I'll try to do it more.

Why is summer so awesome? Totally my favorite season. It's warm, and there's no school, and it's just really fun! I'm sad that my mom has to work so much. But it's still been really fun. I'm getting excited for the skillet/superchick concert. I hope my mom doesn't have to work! That would really stink!

I miss preschool :( But I've been babysitting a lot and that it really fun! Hmm I'm going to be helping at a camp next week. I'm pretty nervous.. I don't know what it's going to be like! And being gone a whole week is a long time! But I'm sure it'll be fine and I'll actually end up having lots of fun.. Right?

I miss playing Barbies. Barbies were so cool! My sisters and I would set up houses and towns and we would play for days! The best part was the setting up, and dressing them. I loved putting together outfits and doing their hair! I wonder if Barbies will still be popular when I have kids.. Because then I could play with them!

Tomorrow I get to babysit the cutest little girl! I'm really excited. :D And this week is VBS, which rocks! Kids are so fun :D yeah. So. I don't really have anything else to say!

My hair!

2009-12-21T13:24:00.000-08:00

For anyone who hasn't seen I got my hair cut, and here it is :)

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Moon!

2009-11-28T09:50:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone had an awesome thanksgiving! I did, I went to my grandparents house and I had so much fun. I totally want a cute, little, cozy house like that when I get married.

So Christmas is almost here!! 27 days!! Actually 26 days, 14 hours and 8 minutes! I love the Christmas season, everyone seems to get along better and people are nicer...

I saw New Moon! So I didn't die because I didn't get to go to the midnight showing.. I think it was actually better to go when we did. But don't tell my mom! New Moon was really good! I think I like twilight better.. But I'm not sure yet. The twilight soundtrack is better.

I can't write full paragraphs.. Well.. I can't think of anything else to say lol..

I'm dying inside

2009-11-17T13:16:00.000-08:00

We cant go to the midnight showing of New Moon :(( It comes out thursday night and we have awanas that night.. Also my mom didnt want to stand in line.. I'm very crushed. She said we can go this weekend though!

Okay I have to get back to school! :D

Busy Busy Busy

2009-09-25T08:55:00.000-07:00

I've been so busy! But at least everything is getting done! Its not as hard as i thought it would be. I thought I wouldn't have time to do everything I was supposed to do, but i can! I think everything has started.. preschool, choir, awanas, youth group. Oh and I wanted to take piano again.. Don't know if it will fit though.

I'm so excited for these two concerts coming up, I love going to concerts. I love music! Music is awesome, I'm always listening to music and I think I'm starting to drive my mom crazy. It might have been the 5 hour drive to Keno and the 5 hours back where i played music nonstop... Idk! So... I think I'll be using headphone for awhile.

So preschool is so fun. I'm so lucky to have that job! I love being called Miss Viki or Teacher Viki. Lol the new thing is "Never!" You tell them to do something.. like okay its time to wash our hands for snack.. and they say "never!" i'm like :O lol never isnt an option here :D But the good thing is they change their minds! cuz who doesnt want snack?!

I've got this cold thing, i think i got it from my mom and i'm really scared because in choir we are singing in like two weeks or something like that and thats so soon. I wanted to do a awesome job and i dont want to be all stuffy! Grr... Being sick is no fun.

Its friday!! Almost the weekend! I love the weekend, but now that i get up kinda early its hard for me to sleep in! I miss sleeping in.. But hey! I get more stuff done! I figured out that when you wake up and its still dark, its harder to get up then if you were waking up at the same time and it was light. Lol, idk if that makes sense.. but..

Oh! I figured out how to put my playlist back up, i'm very ashamed because it was this tiny thing i didnt think about.. But anyway, a year later, i got it back up!

So i gotta go finish school, I have a test today.. :S But I'm really liking these science tests because our units are small so you dont have to remember as much.. in biology the units were soooooo long and if was horrible studying for those tests.

Preschool Rocks!!

2009-09-17T06:55:00.000-07:00

Ahh it's to early. I woke up at 6:30 so I get get started on my school but I'm really tired now. But I'm done with alot of school, So when I get back from preschool I can do some of tomorrows. School is.. the same. Pretty boring. I really like my English class though. Lol it's funny how I could hate English so much last year and now it might be one of my favorite classes. I also like science.. It's pretty cool.

On Sunday I saw Shelby, one of my best friends get baptized! It was really fun to get to hang out with her and see her family and all that. And I'm going this weekend to visit one of my other really good friends, Josi and her family. I'm so excited! We are leaving tomorrow and I'm not even packed! I'll probably do that tomorrow. I'll finish todays school today and do tomorrows today.. And everything will work out! Ah I need to do my laundry if I want clean clothes..

I started preschool a few days ago! omg I love it so much. It's the best job ever and I have the best boss ever. I totally know that's what I want to do with my life. Kids are so fun to be around and it makes me happy! They smile all the time and crawl up into your lap. My favorite time if craft time! And reading books. That's so fun.

Okay.. I need to get ready to leave. I think thats all I wanted to say.. Lol

We painted!!!

2009-09-12T15:09:00.000-07:00

We did it! I'm so happy my grandparents came out to help me! I had so much fun and I'm really happy about how it turned out. Its really bright but with the curtains and closet cover thing and the wall paper I think it will look really good!

Okay! Here is the pictures!

Here is our room before. With all the stuff out.

Then working on it! My awesome grandma and my awesome grandpa and awesome abby...
Everyone is just so awesome XD

Yay today!

2009-09-12T09:05:00.001-07:00

Today is Saturday! Woo Hoo no school! And we get to paint our room! I love painting! I'm nervous... But excited! There is nothing in our room! Pretty much.. Yesterday we moved the dresser and took apart my bed. So last night i just slept on my mattress on the floor... I was worried because the bunnies were in there.. I told them not to pee on my bed or eat me. And they didn't! They just hopped all over my bed alllll night. Surprisingly I'm not tired at all! I thought i would be cuz i woke up a million times. In the morning amy crawled up by my head and stood on the back of my neck. (i was sleeping on my tummy) Her claws were like digging into the back of my neck! lol.

And babysitting last night was so fun! I'm so glad that these kids are good, nice kids. Someone was telling me about the kids they babysit and they are horrible! I would hate babysitting them! We played outside in the woods and on bikes. And.. well we mostly played outside. Poor caleb, we were walking through the woods to meet up with the boys and their neighbors and he stepped on this like huge thorn and it went up right through his shoe. And he made this little cry and sat down and i looked at his foot (which was okay :) and got the thorn out of his shoe but i felt so bad for him. Anyway i just love babysitting them they are so nice and cute and awesome! And their neighbors are really good too.

Omg! Have you ever had kool whip on toast?! Probably not. If you havent you have to try it! I'm eating it right now.... (abbys idea not mine) And it makes boring toast yummy! Woo hoo!

Well... i cleaned up my room and cleared the table.. I can't think of anything else to do... oh i have to unscrew those thingys.. I'll take pictures of painting and all that! Lol

Bunnies eat paper...

2009-09-11T07:21:00.000-07:00

Do you think thats bad? I try really really hard to make sure there is nothing on my floor but i was reading last night and looked under my bed and emma was eating a note thing that I had written... Will they die or something?!?!? =((

Speaking of bunnies... Their built in alarm clock goes off at different times every morning. I like the seven o clock mornings. The six thirty ones not so much... omg this morning emma (i think) was being so funny. I was still "asleep" so she hopped up onto my bed and was like walking around and then she like took a flying leap off.. It scared me!!

I'm a little nervous... So far only school has started. But when you add awanas, choir, youth, preschool and all the other stuff i'll be doing.. idk if i'll be able to do it all!! I wasnt going to do awanas this year, but i guess i am.. But thats one that i can stop if i cant get everything done. Ahh its going to be fine, everything's going to work out... :D

Its Friday!! YAY! I love Fridays! Tomorrow we are painting my room.. Sunday we are going to see one of my best friends get baptized! I"m so excited for that! I haven't seen her since my birthday. So yeah.. Woohoo!!

Guess what today is? Today is September 11th. Sad to remember huh? I dont really remember where i was on 9/11, my mom didnt tell me because she didn't want to scare us. But we do need to remember all the people that died then and the people that are still dying for us. So take a minute and send up a prayer for our troops. Because they just rock!!

Anyway.. I have a pretty full day today.. So i better get started!

Hey Hey

2009-09-10T08:26:00.001-07:00

So school is so lame. It is so boring and harder this year and it is just LAME! English isnt so bad though...

Okay so I found this really cool band, Skillet and I love their music! lol I think they are like are in my top 5 now. But my top 5 changes alot.

Why is this so hard?! I used to be able to write and now i don't have anything to write about.

Umm.... I love my friends! They are so nice and supportive and i just love them! I'm really glad i have my friends.

We are going to paint my room! I'm so excited! On Saturday my grandma is coming over and shes like awesome at stuff like this! Its gonna be light blue and light green... kinda.. I'll take pictures. The depressing thing is we took down everything from our walls so its like empty! Its like when we first moved in! And i don't know if i want to stick all those tacks in the wall after i paint cuz i don't want to ruin the walls.. and... ah

Omg we got bunnies! Two bunnies and they are huge! Like the size of a baby. They are pretty nice... And they live in my room which i love. I don't think abby does though.. I think she is getting tired of them. They wake me up at like seven every morning so its awesome! A built in alarm clock! My mom was talking about giving them away :( but i wont let her. I LOVE these bunnies! They are my girls! Oh their names are Emma and Amy... I thought it was a good idea at the time but now i'm not so sure i like it.. Can i change their names?

So some of my friends moved away a few days ago. To Mississippi. Actually they were abbys friends first. But there are four of them! We can share them! Anyway at youth group the day before they left we decorated scrapbooks for them. It was so fun! And now i have sharpie all over me. Angel signed my arm... With this really cool silver sharpie! It was sad when we dropped them off... we all hugged and =( But! we can talk on facebook lol. Or on the phone.

Okay so here's the deal

2009-09-03T15:27:00.000-07:00

I got busy.. blah blah, i'm not gonna apologize cuz thats stupid. anyway!
School started! And its not like its a horrible thing, i like it.. somewhat. Classes are boring this year. Teachers seem fine.. for now... I'm not going to get behind this year. So it should be a better year! I hope.

I'm trying to think of interesting things to tell about my summer.. but that would be a lot so i'll just post pictures.. These arent in order or anything.. Just some pictures :D

Soooo

2009-06-28T16:10:00.000-07:00

So summer has been great so far! I know, I haven't been on much.. But I've been on the computer all school year the last thing I was to do is get back on..

Anyway! I went to Jolenes house for the weekend and then she came home with me for the week... I had so much fun!! I was really sad when she left :( But we'll get together again soon!

Hmmm VBS went great! I got to help with the 4 5 and 6 year olds! There might have been 3 year olds in there too.. I really love helping with things like that..!

Well.. I'm getting really tired of just sitting here doing almost nothing! So i'm going to go for a walk! Peace!

SUMMER

2009-06-16T08:12:00.000-07:00

I KNEW it would be worth it!! I am soooo glad school is over! And so glad I can sleep in!! Not that i can really complain, I have friends who go to public school who had to wake up way before me.. but still now i can sleep till like 11! and not feel guilty!

Well I have like 10 minutes before i have to leave so i'll make it quick. Today is my BFF Jolene's birthday! She is officially 16! I think her birthday should have been before mine cuz she is so much more mature.. I'm such a kid! But i think i figured out what to get her.. finally.. maybe.. XD cutting it a little close huh?? haha but we are getting together this weekend so i still have time.

omg! i got my phone back! i do admit, not having my phone was nice during the last few weeks of school. and I did learn to live without it. so to all you teenagers out there "you will not die if you dont have a cell phone." but now that i have it, it's nice!! ahahah! i love talking to my friends!

hmm.. so my goal this summer is to grow my nails out nicely, bedcause i always end up breaking them or biting them. and my other goal is to have tons of fun! and go camping and hiking and hang out as much as possible with my two best friends. because this is my second to last childhood summer... SAAAAAD but ahh well! then i'll be in college and probably working through the summer.. where is the fun in that?! which is why i'm having fun this summer!!

Okay I gotta leave! Wish me luck.. this little boy always screams really loud when his mom leaves.. ahhh

The Final Countdown!

2009-06-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

The final countdown has begun! Actually it began a while ago.. But there is only 6 days of school left! Counting weekends! I'm sooo excited! Sure, it'll be a busy week lol but after it.. SUMMER!!!

Okay so i had lost my iPod.. I couldn't find it anywhere! For like three days! Then last night i was laying in bed and i suddenly remembered I had stuck it in this ledge under our table.. If i come to the table with it on my mom will tell me to take it off so i just stick it under there. And I've done this before! I had lost it for SIX months! Stupid stupid me.. Anyway I'm just glad i found it! :D

Abby and I were talking last night and we realized we have seven pairs of purple pj pants! We share clothes so we just count them as both of ours... Two pairs of long pants and five pairs of shorts. That's crazy! And it's not like we have a ton of pj pants :P just a lot of purple ones! Okay.. I'm going off about my pj pants.. yikes..

New Subject! Umhmm I can't really think about anything right now.. lol so I'm going to change my background. I get tired of it really fast

2009-06-02T21:56:00.001-07:00

This is Abby and Grace.. How cute is that!?

Let me see.. I dont have one of Ben... Hmm.. heres one! Such a ham... :P

The Last Day of Preschool

2009-06-02T07:50:00.000-07:00

How sad is that? I'm getting ready for the last day of preschool. :( Some of the kids are coming back but this one little boy I really like isnt coming back and I'm so sad :(( But.. Maybe his mom will want me to babysit again. lol

So there is 8 days of school not counting weekends.. If you count them there is 10. Not that much! I havent had my phone in sooooo long! Which it's my fault but still... Actually, I've learned to live without it. Jolene and i talk on the home phone now and i talk to Shelby on the computer.. Everyone else..I just havent talked to :(( BUT! My mom said once school is over she'll give it back! WOO HOO! Another reason why summer is so awesome! :D

Since we are talking about summer, I'll tell you one of my favorite parts of summer: hanging out with my youth group. We go to the beach, hiking and stuff like that! I love it! I cannot wait for the beach! Another thing I like about summer is camping! I dont even mind sleeping in a tent on the floor. The only thing I dont like is the cold nights and over the years I've learned to bring lots of blankets. My family is going camping on Fathers Day weekend and I'm probably not going because that week is my bff's SWEET 16! I don't know what to get her :(( But i'll think of something awesome!

Anyway, I was going to try to get some history done before I have to go so I'm gonna go do that. I'll tell you guys how the last day of preschool goes!

Life!

2009-04-25T10:03:00.000-07:00

So here are pictures from the trip to salem!

Me and my girls! Left to right: Abby, Shelby, Bekah, And Me. ( i know, it's a bad picture of me)

The Gold Guy! It was so fun going up and down those stairs! Okay so it was scary too!

All of us.. Again I don't know what i was doing...

So yeah.. Thats me. my mom took this picture. I really was paying attention!

All of us.. Woo Hoo... Bekah, Shelby, Me, Alex, Abby.

Salem!

2009-04-24T08:00:00.000-07:00

It was totally fun! Okay, so one of my friends couldn't make it :( And yeah that really bummed me out. But i decided to make the best of it and have fun. And i did! I'm not a outgoing or really social person. But i really tried to be and i introduced myself to a few teens and talked with them. It was funny, I pretended that i was like this really social person but really my tummy was doing back flips!

First we went to the capital and did the field trip. We toured about three times. Once with the school, once with our group and then we did it again with another group cuz our group didn't get to see the gold guy. The cool thing was that one of shelbys friends showed up as we were doing it the third time so he got to do it with us. I hope shelby had fun! She got to come to my house and spend the night and it was so fun hanging out with her and shopping! Thanks for coming shelby!

After the field trip we went shopping. Last weekend i went shopping in WA at the Lancaster Mall. And then to come to salem to shop.. kind of a let down. But hey! They had a bath and body works and JCPenny and hmm a photo booth thingy! So my goal was to find a dress for my birthday party. Which is really hard.. But anyway i found one! I'm super excited! My mom thought the party was going to be more formal.. Like prom dress. But the one i got was more of a summer sun dress. She didn't mind that it wasn't as fancy, she keeps saying it's my party. So if i hadn't said it yet I'm super excited! OH! and that friend is gonna be there! So YAY!

I went to one of my bffs house for the weekend. And that was really fun too! We babysat he little cousin on Saturday and went to the mall on Sunday. We also watched the dark night which i haven't seen. And this was driving me crazy but i knew batman was someone from another movie.. SO i finally figure it out and he's from little women! Teddy! Yes, i watch little women. And i like it! =P

One when Jolene was over at my house we babysat the boys i always babysit and it was night time so we taught jo this game they made up called bear. It's like reverse hide and seek. One person hides, everyone else looks, when you find em you scream "Bear" and run to the couch and try not to let the bear get you. So anyway jo had taken it home and taught he siblings! I thought that was so cool! We played it and it was so cute her little sister wanted to hold my hand when we were looking. (i don't blame her the dark is SCARY!)

Okay.. So that was my super fun weekend at jo's house and my super fun field trip with shelby. Yay! Crazy fun!

Oh and i'll post pictures soon.. you can see the gold guy!

Babysitting

2009-04-16T15:51:00.000-07:00

So that's what i did today! I had fun! We played outside and Caleb saw these gopher holes and said "oh look! beaver holes!" I thought that was so funny! lol. Um also.. we played a bunch of games! Tripoley.. And are you smarter then a 5th grader.

Anyway tonight is awanas. I'll be glad when that is over.. Lol Thursdays are just so busy! But i really like it there! I just feel like i should be home doing some school.. Speaking of school, I'm doing a biology test as we speak! lol Did you know leeches have chemicals in their saliva that acts as an anesthetic. There are also chemicals that prevent the blood from clotting.. AND! Get this: a leech can ingest two to five times their weight in one meal. That's alot of blood! Sorry.. didn't mean to gross you out.

Okay what else.. OH! One of my very good friends, Shelby is coming to my house on Wednesday so we can bring her on a field trip cuz her mom has to work. I'm so excited! I cant even tell you how much! Someone.. is going to be there! I hope that someone likes me.. kinda worried.. But i'm sure it will be fine! Now i just have to focus on not tripping down the capital stairs..

And! I might go to my bff's house this weekend! Like tomorrow! I hope i can! it's gonna be sunny and her mom is having a garage sale and they might go hiking on Sunday. So i'm totally totally excited! Mom! can you see how excited i am..?

So lots of stuff happening! Soon! I cant wait! okay.. calm down.. deep breath.. in.. out.. in.. out.. Quick prayer! I'm ready! Yes!

Tomorrow!

2009-04-11T08:07:00.000-07:00

It's Easter soon! Yay!

Okay so today is a busy day! I'm helping out at the Easter egg hunt, and we are going shopping and then our church is having a 10 year thingy that we are singing at.

I love the Easter egg hunt! It's really fun.. Untill you are standing behind the tape telling kids to take two steps back till it's their turn to go, and then you hear it. Three very scary words... Three... Two.... One...! And they all run at you! Ahhh! Okay so it's not that bad it's actually really fun. Then we all go back to the church for food! Yay food!

Oh wow! It's almost time to leave.. sorry short post.

Biology...

2009-04-07T14:13:00.000-07:00

STINKS! Ahh! It's so... hard! lol maybe thats just me...

I worked at the preschool today. It was so fun! And it's so nice outside! I walked home and i was just so happy i almost started skipping! But i controled myself cuz that would have been weird! wow every sentence has a "!" at the end.. weird!

Hmm what else is up? I have no clue. I'm. So. Bored! And hungry... And tired. Okay who took the happy, skipping, and hyper viki?!?! All i'm left with is the feeling like i'm coming down from a sugar high! I didnt have any sugar!

Okay now that i ate something i feel better. So... Hmm... Still nothin... I must have a really boring life. Or lots of secrets! lol jk..

Oh! Last night i was at a ptarty thing and we were in a gym playing basketball and i made a basket! True my team gave me like three or four chances and i missed. But finally i got one! Haha I know one basket isnt that good but i was happy!

Anyways i've got tons of stuff to do.. and there is youth group today. Woo Hoo.

Sunny Sunday!

2009-04-05T15:45:00.000-07:00

Yay! it's a sunny Sunday! How awesome... :)

Our choir sang at church this morning. I got there and amanda told me she really didnt want to do her solo so i did it for her.. both services. She has such a good voice but she was really nervous. I tried to get her to do it with me but no.. So anyway i know i heard myself mess up a few times. My mom said she didnt hear but shes my mom so yeah..

Then my grandparents come over for dinner. That was fun. But my mom keeps teasing someone who doesnt deserve to be teased, and it's really driving me crazy. If you wouldnt say it to his face you shouldnt say it. (thats not just for my mom, i'm not throwing stones in a glass house or whatever... everyone including me needs to follow that :)

Here are some random pictures i just downloaded:

Just chillin. Abby, Bekah, Alex and I

I'm sorry abby, It's just so funny!

Choir pratice. Crazy fun time!

Check out my hair! Thats totally weird/cool! Anyway that was this morning. Thats Kassie one of my friends. Isn't her dress the cutest?

We are singing tomorrow. I'm not that nervous. But on Easter we have to sing again. Only it's three churches! It's like this 10 year thingy and i'm super nervous for that! i hope i do good on my solo... :S

I was singing christmas songs in the shower today. I found out which ones i can sing and which ones i can't! I'm excited for my birthday. wow that was random... I'm going to be 16. It seems like this school year has flown by! There is only 48 days of school left. Thats crazy! YAY summer!

Speaking of summer it's sunny today! I love the sun. If i could chose a season for it to be all the time i would choose summer. My favorite memories from last summer are going to the beach with my friends and the youth group. We went lots! I hope we do that this summer.

One of my best friends is on the east coast for spring break. I'm really sad we couldn't get together but I hope she's having a great time! It's totally weird when we text.. there is a three hour difference.

I helped in the nursery today. It was so fun! We had four little kids... two boys and two girls. So cute!!

I seem to start paragraphs and don't write much... hmm...

OH!! THE CONCERT!! Okay that was totally awesome! I love concerts! I really liked Hawk Nelson. And Mercy Me. And JEREMY CAMP! and Addison road was really cool. The only girl there!

I know, i've really been slacking. But i've got lots of school to do! And then everything else in my life.. So i'll just give you a summery of the last month.

Writing test, babysitting, birthdays, the beach!! thats really all i can remember.

Soo I was supposed to do state testing on this one day but my mom/and i forgot i had to work so i couldnt make it. Which is really sad cuz one of my really awesome and cool friends was gunna be there. So i had to make up my writing test a little later. I was so nervous but it wasnt that bad. Actually pretty easy.

Okay babysitting. I've been doing alot of it.. And working at the preschool. It's kinda hard to do school for the day and babysit and all that. But i use the weekends. I'd rather be babyistting then doind school anyway! lol. And idk if i've said this yet but i LOVE my job. The actuall preschool teacher is sooo nice and understanding. I'm really excited for next year!!

Birthdays: Ben and Brigit(mom:) Ben turned.. ten and my mom turned.. umm 35? or 36? anyway not 40 so somewhere younger then that! So happy Birthday guys! And some dudes from my church had birthdays so Happy bday to you guys too!!

The BEACH!!! this is the fun one. My best friend and my parents went to seaside for the weekend. Without all my siblings! it was totally rad! UBER COOL! We talked, relaxed, shopped, swam (indoor pool) and watched movies! THANKS MOM AND DAD! and JOLENE for coming!

So thats about it.. I saw some pretty cool stuff on my moms blog that i think i'ma copy cat. XD

So ttfn!

OH! and happy St Pattys day! (late)

It's too early for a saturday!

2009-02-14T07:49:00.001-08:00

I woke up at 7! On a satureday... whats wrong with me?!? Everyone else is asleep and it's nice and quiet.

Well today is valentines day! I dont see whats so special about it. It's just a holiday. But i remember in elementary school we used to have parties and give valentines. That was the bomb! Totally awesome!

I babysat last night... the day of candy, probably the second worst day to babysit next to halloween. But these kids were really good! I love um! First we ate pizza then we played (sliding around in the kitchen in our socks) and then we played hide and seek. We watched kung fu panda. And then they were all kung fued up and "wrestled", not to bad though. And the parents got home right before bed time so i didnt even have to put them to bed!

Then i went home and Imed my girl shelby. Hey shelbster!!! lol that was FUN!! She got a webcam which is... sweet! And now all of our friends are getting webcams and i'm thinking about it too! I'm such a copy cat! lol

I have no clue what is planned for today. On the calander it says... Moms dinner. I think that is dinner at my grandmas. Fun fun. Also it's my Gramma Jeannie's Birthday! Happy bday gma!

I had the strangest dream! LOL! I was supposed to lead worship at church but i fell asleep in the front row and forgot to get up to start. So i woke up and the whole church was silent! And i ran to the back rooms were abby and the paino player were practicing. And they were like omg it's past time to start! So we walk out and abby is all dressed up in a cute outfit and i have sweat shorts and socks! As you can tell it was a BAD dream lol

Okay so now that i told you my life story i'm off to do something... important! ttfn!

Why do i lose everything?

2009-02-13T11:45:00.000-08:00

Hmm i cant find my usb cord for my ipod and now i cant find the adapter for my memory card...

Anyway! Yesterday i babysat my little dude. He was so cute! We made a fort and he layed his head in my lap and said viki you are special you know. It was so cute! And he's really polite. He says thank you after everything i do for him. So we had tons of fun.

Inside the fort!

Silly Guy!

Stick Em Up!

His wouldnt stay in his pocket :D

He's so cute!

Okay today... I'm babysitting tonight. That should be really fun. Three boys one girl! But they are really good kids.

So like i cant think of anything to say. and i have piano so ttyl!

YAY!!!

2009-02-11T09:49:00.000-08:00

Omg how did i live without internet? All i can say is i'm glad i surivived! Well whats up? Not much, school, work, friends, church... same old same old. Wait! something is up!! My 16th birthday is in 96 days! I cant wait! lol

Hmm i want change... not change the world change but something... like i should dye my hair! blond! maybe not that much... how about a shade lighter... or darker? idk something to think about... lol

i'm hungry... so i'm going to go eat lol

ttfn

wow this is weird! i put lol at the end of each of my paragraphs! this is looking more like a text and not a blog.. WHO cares! not me. tehe

Wow

2008-12-09T07:51:00.000-08:00

That's really all I can say... wow. I guess it's been a while :D Yeah I know, a little more then a while but I've been busy! lol okay that's no excuse but I really have been busy. Soooo much school stuff to do, babysitting/preschool, church and choir, Awanas, siblings, Christmas stuff, and much more. So I'll give you a quick version of what has been going on in my life.

Okay the last post was November 20th. The 23 was a praise banquet at my church. I helped at that and it was really fun. First we served everyone a a plate of food and after we helped clean up and put the church back together.

Then there was thanksgiving. It was pretty much like all thanksgivings: good food, family, and conversation. Also we did Christmas crafts with my grandma. They were really fun. And my step uncle and his girlfriend brought their little dogs and they were sooo cute! We watched home videos of my grandpa when he was little. It's kinda hard thinking of your grandparents were your age. That weekend we got our Christmas tree and it's so cute! :)

This last Sunday was our choir performance at our church. I had this solo that had a weird beginning like it was really hard to know when to start. So we did two songs at first and second service and at night we did the whole thing which is like 45 minutes. Then we had dinner at the church. Oh and my grandma came to watch us which was really cool. we only have to do it once more at our churches sister church so I'm relieved.

Hmm that's about all the major stuff. I cant wait for winter break! I have some school to get caught up on so I'll have plenty of time to do that. Grr speaking of that school i need to catch up on... My mom has my phone again lol and she changed my passwords on the computer so i cant talk to my friends. I guess it's all my own fault but i really miss them! esp shelby. I used to talk to her almost all day and now hardly ever :((

So that's about it, I'll try to be a better blogger and blog more. Have a really good Christmas and remember why we are celebrating it! ~Viki

okay...

2008-11-20T15:32:00.000-08:00

It's been busy! I had state testing on the 12th and company on the 16th and a party on the 15th and alot of school! Hmm i'm trying to think of anything important to tell you...

I'll tell you about the party :) So my friend from school's dad invited me to her bday party. I hadn't met her yet lol. So i got a dress. And did my hair and had such a wonderful time! So thanks Shelby!

And... nothing else is really exciting. We are working on the Christmas music in choir. I don't really like the songs and i don't really like my solos lol but they are really pretty.

Okay well i don't have anything else to say so I'll talk to you later :D

Signing out ~Viki~

Three of my sisters got sick last night. So that's 5 down and 3 to go. But lets pray those three don't get sick.

Anyway I kinda forgot to blog in a while like a week and some exciting things happened last week! Hmmm where to start? I'll just start with last Friday: We went to piano lessons, that was totally fun. That's all for Friday ;)

Saturday: I got up early to babysit for a family, so I did that from 8:45 to 4. And then my parents picked me up and we went into town to return all of our soda cans and stuff. side note* I hate that job! It's all sticky and you get the bottom of your shoes dirty and ahh it's just GROSS* okay after that they dropped me off to babysit someone else and that was fun, they are really high energy kids. So i stayed there till 10 or so and went home and slept! I was so tired.

Sunday: I had to get up early again lol where did my weekend go? I got up went to Sunday school and then sat in the back of the church because we were going to leave in the middle. So we watched a new family lead worship. They were really good! They found a good balance between older hymns and newer contemporary music. So it pleases everybody! So they had a dad singer and two daughters, the wife on a key board and teenage son on the drums. So we watched them and then left for the church van so our choir director could take us to another church to sing. It was so crowded. Lol the 15 passenger was full! Somehow i got stuck in the back with all the little girls. It was very giggly but the sad thing was is that I was the one giggling the most lol. So we get there and practice And then do it blah blah nothing exciting there. Afterwards we had dinner yummy at the church and then all of us kids played dodge ball in the gym. We get home and screw around till bedtime *this is where it gets gross* And i go to bed... duh duh duh duhhhhhh and i'm feelin fine lol but i wake up at 1 and barf my guts out all night lol. I would have been better by the second day but I was so hungry and ate a bunch of stuff and then i felt bad again so i went back to bed lol .

Monday I was sick nuttin much happened but i did have to miss choir ;'(

Tuesday I was better just tired

Wednesday I was good and do you know how hard it is to brush through two days of bed head? huh? very hard

So yesterday was Thursday and there was a harvest party at awanas (if you don't know what that is it is a thing at my church where little kids come to learn about Jesus and I help out) I dressed up as a hippie lol not really just one of those headband things. I didn't want to dress up but i didn't want to be boring soooo Hippie! lol

Then as we were going from the car to home one of my sisters threw up and freaked out (she is VERY dramatic) So we go to bed and I wake up to Ben coming in my room and was like who is going to take me to school? I'm like Alex is just like always, and he said Alex, Beka, and Grace were sick all last night. So I'm like go tell mom.

So now here we are Abby and I all alone in the office. The house is so quiet because everyone is sleeping and we pretty get to do what ever we want! lol party in the house! No we will be good girls lol

Check this out!!!

2008-10-23T21:07:00.000-07:00

Today

2008-10-23T15:11:00.000-07:00

I love these sunny days :D it's sooo easy to get motivated for school. I get up and I'm like ahh such a nice day, I'm just gonna get up and do my math :D Speaking of math.....ugh........ i was taking a unit test and the last time i took a unit test in math i went to submit my answers and they all got erased so i told my friend about it and we decided that we would write down all of our answers just in case. So she was telling me that she was taking the unit test and all her answers were erased also so this time i wrote down all my answers and it did it again. So she (shelby) asked some of her friends from this class and they said it happened to them to so someones mom emailed tech support and we shouldn't have this problem again. :D i don't know why i told you that story very random. Anyways i took the test and got 2 out of the first 20 wrong and there is still 10 written questions left to be graded tomorrow. So i hope i get a good score :D

So that's what happened today. I really want to post pictures but my mom's camera is broken :'(

2008-10-21T12:27:00.000-07:00

Yesterday

2008-10-13T08:08:00.000-07:00

Yesterday when I was at church I heard an awesome sermon. Here is what it was about: Don't worry :D GOD is in control. Think about David and Goliath. David was just a boy and through God he killed the enemy, a 9'9" GIANT!!! I think it was 9'9" :D Even in the economic crisis WE NEED TO TRUST THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL

Anyway on sat i got up at....7!!!!!! on a sat! i had to babysit so i pretty much had to. I babysat from 8 to almost 4. And i babysat yesterday i babysat from 1 to 6:45. That was awesome!! I LOVE THE PRIMBS KIDS!!! Caleb the youngest picked me a flower and i put in in my hair and then Josiah told me it looked pretty :D so sweet. We played outside a lot they showed me a dead animal ~grosssssss~ and we watched Madagascar. I love that movie it is so funny :P

Tomorrow I work at the preschool i think we are going to the pumpkin patch but that might be next week....

oh and I might be babysitting tonight to... wow I'm babysitting a lot :)) but that is not a bad thing I usually like to babysit.

I took a Spanish test on Friday the first 25v questions were easy like what does this mean and all that but the 2nd to last question i had to write 10 questions in Spanish and the last one i had to tell this story i learned into my mic and record it :D it was weird talking into the mic cuz i could hear my self in the headphones. I was like "Welcome to McDonald's how can I help you?" but i totally didn't record that. the test is still ungraded so i don't know my score.

I love music i don't know what i would do if i was deaf. I am always listening to music in the car in my room at the computer in my iPod........

last night while i was sleeping i got 11 texts from my best friend Jolene she had something important to tell me so i texted her this morning but she was already in class so i have to wait till 11:45 (her lunch) till she can tell me... I'm dieing :D

My Question :D

2008-10-01T19:49:00.000-07:00

Here is a question: What is your favorite song on my playlist? Comment your answer -thanks :P

2008-09-23T07:42:00.001-07:00

I can't think of a title. Here is an update of the subjects I posted last week:

School: I HATE IT!!!!! I hate that I'm a whole week behind and it is so hard to catch up. It seems like just when I'm gaining ground I slip and fall more behind. The only thing I really like is my A+ in History.

Choir: I got my solo last night and I think I can make it work :) It is a little high and the end is funny but it is one where I'm singing over the choir. You know like they are singing the chours and I'm singing something else. But it's cool cuz I can do anything I want with it cuz it doesn't matter. So if i mess up I'll just work with it :)

Babysitting: I'm still doing a lot. Well on my way for a car :) but first I have to learn to drive :) Anyway my mom says i have to cut back on babysitting Idk why.

I'm starting a new topic, My phone: My mom has decided that at nine every night she is gonna take away my phone and I can have it back the next day when I get my school done. I'M GONNA DIE!!!!!!! This is sooooooooooo not fair. Last night was the first night I slept without my phone:( I had bad dreams haha j\k but it was really weird to wake up and not see my phone right next to me on the bed. Anyway I guess I have to step up and get up at 3 am so I can be done with school and eight and then I can have my phone all day. I'll see how that plan goes :)

Okay I have to go get ready for work. And eat breakfast :)

Ok, I'm lazy

2008-09-16T08:06:00.000-07:00

Haha I'm totally lazy! I haven't blogged a real blog since August 30th. Wow ok so here is kind of what is going on in my life:

School: AWESOME! I love the way it is all set up. With a to-do list every day and planners and all the organization. The actual learning well... you know how it is. I'm still kinda behind because I wasn't enrolled till about a week and a half after school started. Bu I'm making up some ground.

Choir: It's fun, I don't really like the songs we are doing. Well I like the songs I just don't like the key. My choir directors are so cool. They are like an uncle and an aunt. Haha so I tried to tell them I didn't have to have a solo and this was my answer: High schoolers have to have solos :) So when it came time to pick solos I was just like give me whatever. I'm gonna trust them to pick a good solo for my voice. And I also know they pray about who gets what solo so I'm trusting in God to. And we know that when you do that anything can happen :)

Babysitting: I'm doing a lot of that also. I have two families that I babysit every week and two families that need me about once a month. And just today I started a new job working at a day care once a week for about 3 hours. It was totally cool. I love these kids:) and when the parents were picking them up I meet a new mom who took my name and number. So i might have another family to babysit for.

I'm starting to think about college (haha I'm only a sophomore) already. I really want to go to Washington State. But I don't know for sure yet. I want to be a preschool teacher because I really love little kids.

Well now I have to go eat something for lunch because I skipped breakfast and dinner last night. And then I have to go do some math : / boring. But at least I can play my music cuz everyone is gone.

I'm Super Tired

2008-09-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

So I can't post anything new. But I'll try tomorrow... We might go and pick up my mom's camera tomorrow so if we do I'll post new pics. Oh and there is this really cool song on my play list way down at the bottom called Never Alone, I love it! So you should listen to it. Ya

Shopping

2008-08-30T20:22:00.000-07:00

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

p.s I didn't proof read this so sorry for mistakes (Mom fixed them for you :)

My first interview

2008-08-28T17:07:00.000-07:00

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

2008-08-24T14:31:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2008-08-17T21:10:00.000-07:00

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

P.S. Grandmas computer doesn't have spell check so I apologize for all the spelling errors. :)

2008-08-15T21:52:00.000-07:00

I don't have time for a whole post but I can say: Kids are CUTE!!! Ok today I was watching Bambie with him again and it got to the part where faline is being chased by hunting dogs and Caleb says "You might get scared on this part viki" I was like that is so cute!! Ok ttyl
p.s I don't know how to spell bambie's girlfriend. Faline?

I hate thinking up these blog titles!

2008-08-14T20:08:00.000-07:00

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.

I have some very exciting news. JOLENE IS COMING OVER SOON!!!! Not this weekend but next weekend she is going to come and we are going to go to Oaks Park and Portland City fest. I really want to go on Friday to the city fest because Kutless and Chris Tomlin are going to sing that night but my mom doesn't want to drive out there two days so we are going on Saturday. To see Toby Mac and Mercy Me and Kirk Franklin. So ya we are going to have a BLAST!!!

But now I have to go eat dinner. And I have to babysit again tomorrow at 9. UGH another early morning.

News

2008-08-10T14:32:00.000-07:00

I know I've been busy. Sorry to have not posted anything new for a few days. : ( But JOLENE was here!!! YEA!!! So for all of you who don't know Jolene is my best friend. We met in 4th grade. 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. I ended up losing 7 lbs but I'm better now and back to my regular weight. So is she.

So that is all our adventures. Well all the ones that I want to tell you : ) (mischievous little grin)

On Aug 23rd we are going to Oaks Park with the youth choir and right after that we are going to THE PORTLAND CITY FEST!!!!!!! Tobymac!!!! I can't wait! And it's free. You should come!: ) Well like if you live close. Look it up online : http://www.portlandcityfest.com/. Plus it's all free! So ya I'm gonna see if Jolene can come over that weekend: )

How weird are you??

2008-07-28T12:57:00.000-07:00

You Are 28% Weirdo

You're a little weird, but you'd be even weirder if you didn't have a few quirks.

You are just strange enough to know it, but nobody else seems to notice your weirdness.

That's because, deep down, everyone is a little freaky!

Are You A Weirdo?

The hike, singing and OAKS PARK!!!

2008-07-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

Ok so the hike was fun going to the lookout and horrid going back up! My booty hurts bad! And my shoulders hurt from carrying the backpack. But it was fun to hangout with friends.

My church choir is going to oaks park soon! I have been looking forward to this all year. Yeah!

Singing,well I was sooooo nervous. At first service I did ok but I was to quiet. And then second service (lots more people) I was doing good I was even smiling and looking around but then I messed up at the end!! I went down when I was supposed to go up. I felt my face get all hot and red then afterwards I escaped to the nursery. Side note: All the time I was singing there were some of my friends sitting in the back talking and joking around. I am really sad bcuz these same friends don't talk to me as much as they used to and there has been 2 party's since the last one I went to that I wasn't invited to. I'm really sad but I should have expected it cuz I'm only 15 and they are all 18. They are adults now so they don't need to hang with kids like me.

Off to go hiking

2008-07-26T07:10:00.000-07:00

I'm getting ready to go hiking with my youth group. We are leaving at 8:30 and getting back at 5:30. Then I'm going to church to practice the song I'm singing. What a long day and I'm already yawning.

Yesterday I went with my mom to pick up the Japanese girls. (For those of you who don't read my moms blog they are here to learn English and American culture. It's through our church.) They are so cute!! almost all of them fell asleep on the way home and they were wearing sweatshirts and coats!! The ac was on very low but they were still cold.

Tomorrow I'm singing!! Pray that goes well please.
Ok now i have to go get ready it's almost 7:20 and I'm still in my pj's

VBS

2008-07-24T17:22:00.000-07:00

I'll tell you how VBS went:

Monday was fun, I help in the kindergarten and 1st grade class. We go to games then science then snacks then crafts then we go and do songs and a puppet show then leave. It's pretty easy. In science we learned that god made something out of nothing. We Put a black dot on a coffee filter and then dripped water on it. It turned into a lot of pretty colors:)

Tuesday was pretty much the same as Monday. As well as Wed.

But on Thursday I got to be in a drama. As soon as we were done with crafts and songs i went to get the angles ready. Then I got my costume on. I got to be John. A boy. Oh well. The skit went well it was supposed to be funny so we really exaggerated.

So that was VBS. YES I don't have to get up early!!!

On Sunday I'm singing Come Just As You Are. Not really nervous yet. Just wait till Sunday morning and I'll have no finger nails to bite off.

My mom is doing this new thing. It STINKS. On Mondays I have to make dinner, Tuesdays is Alex, WED is Bekah and Thursday is Abby. Then Friday ben helps my mom make din and sat Gracie helps and my mom makes Sunday dinner alone.

I really miss my long hair. Now I have shoulder length dark brown hair. My real hair color is med. brown and it used to be really long. Then I trimmed it because as you can see it was horrid! And then I thought I wanted a change so I had my cousin cut it even more and we also dyed it.

So here is my hair before I cut it:

Then the trim:

I'm "underwater" :)

And now:

I wear it in a pony tail like this:

(we are not really hitting her:)

So you guys can all cry with me about my hair :( Ok I feel better now. It's just hair it will grow back : )

Singing

2008-07-17T14:50:00.000-07:00

I get to sing at church the Sunday after this so I'm pretty excited but also nervous. I'm singing with the lady I babysit for and we are singing Come Just As You Are. It is in my play list to the right ---------------------------> and up a bit

I love music! I could listen to my music all day. I like Tobymac, Jeremy Camp, DC Talk, Chris Tomlin, Superchick, and pretty much all Christian artists. At concerts I get all pumped up. I just want to go outside and tell everyone the good news about God and stuff.

I also like to cook/bake. I have had a lot of practice so now I can make lots of stuff and follow a recipe. thanks mom :)

Anyway I have this live feed that keeps track of anyone that visits my site, so does bekah. And bekah has someone from Dayton that checks her blog like five times a day! and I have no one from Dayton. No fair! So i say: Dayton person Check My Blog Please!

So heres what happened this last week: Sunday was my mammies b,day so we all went to her house to celebrate. I was kinda sick but had a fun time.

After that i went home with my grandma to spend a few nights. That was really fun also. Me and my sisters made a really cool doll house with blocks and doll house stuff. I don't really like to play with stuff like that (Barbies, Polly Pockets) But I love to set up their houses and dress them up.

On Tuesday some of my cousins came over and then we went to their house to swim in their pool. It was nice cuz that day was really hot! So After that we and one of our cousins went back to gmas house and spent one more night. On wed we went to the beach. It was really fun except It was soooo windy. But we found a cute little park on a lake and played in the water there. We also went to a museum and that was really interesting .

Then on saterday i went to the beach again! This time at seaside. That was really awesome to. I had alot of time with my mom.

And today i'm gonna see wall-e. I love going to the movies!! So thats all for today
