Happy Halloween!

Not much to say because I am not doing holloween this year. Well I take that back, I am doing light the night at a friends house. I might have some pictures of that. Today we got out of school early and when I got home my dad had the ATV's on the trailer and we were off to go riding for the afternoon. The river was down so we got to drive through it! But we all got stuck! I will post pictures of today later. For favorite photo friday... This is a picture of how we used to ride our bike as a family! People would stop to take our picture. What 10 years can do to your fashion!

CRAZY

This morning I had to wake up at 5:30 to give a presentation on our Japan trip to a club of old people and I left my house when it was dark. It was so depressing! I just got back from drum lessons and I am zonked out. Tomorrow I have a half day of school (Thank goodness!) so today felt like a Friday. Tomorrow I start drivers ed at 7 am so I have to leave my house by 6:30. That is until 10 then I am quickly have to dart over to someones house to babysit until 5-5:15ish. After that I am going straight to another family's house to babysit until 10. Sunday then I have church, sunday school, drivers ad, a drama group at church and worshop band practice. Is it just me or is this week going insane? It is now 8:04 PM and I going to QUICKLY hop in the shower and then finally go to bed. I will try to post some things tomorrow since I will have some time. (Maybe)

I've Been Tagged

I have gotten tagged by Ashton .

So here are 7 weird things about me:

1. When I was about 10 years old my dad came up to wake me up to tell me that he and my mom were going to go on a run (It was 10:00 by the way) and when he woke me up I sat up and said, " Daddy, look at me, I'm naked." of coarse I was still asleep and I WAS NOT naked!
2. I am a organizer but messy. My room is always a mess but very organized! I have all my favorite underwear in a curtain order in my dresser! TMI!
3. I don't like "brown" sodas except for root beer. But I love sprite!
4. My name was about to be Jordyn. But instead they named me after the person who she lived with in college. I have the person I am named after as a teacher this year. It is really weird! Speciously because it is health class!
5. I am a big perfectionist! Except for keeping my room clean!
6. I have broken five bones.

  • I fell out of bed when I was 4. My brother was only a month old. That was the first 2 breaks and were the worst ones. That was the left arm!
  • My babysitters granddaughter was moving in w/ her and it was her first day there. She was on her bike I was was racing her w/ an untied shoelace when I fell and got ran over by the bike. That break was my right arm!
  • In 4th grade I was on my rollarblades in hit the steps and fell and broke my left arm again. That was # 4.
  • A month after getting out of that cast, I failed to put my glove up to catch a softball. The other teams coach was a facal dr. so he was a big help! Then they read the cat scan wrong and told me it wasn't out of place even though it was. That was #5.

7. When I went over to Japan I lost my retainer on the flight and had to search through the carts to find it. That can be a long story for another day. Maybe I will get to that tomorrow.

Now the 7 people I am going to tag...

5 More things

Last night I got about an hour of sleep because I was up all night with the ugly cough. So my mom took me to the doctor and I have a sinus infection and said not to go to school today (which I wasn't planning to do because of lack of sleep) or tomorrow. Great... Sigh... I going to be bored to death! Wasn't much of a problem today because all I did was sleep! Here are 5 more things about me!
1. I spend most Friday nights babysitting!
2. My bff is Ashtyn!
3.I HATE band.
4. I have had gum graph surgery.
5. I got my tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was in 3rd grade.

Skype

I absolutely LOVE skype. If you don't know what skype is it is a program you can download on to your computer and call people on the internet! The reason I got this in the first place was for church so our youth group can have meetings that way. I thought is was really cool so I told my friend, Mai, who lives in Japan about it and so she downloaded it and we had a coversation! Her computer had a webcam and my computer didn't. So I got to see her but she couldn't see me:( So she told me I better get a webcam. Of coarse by now my mom is right at the computer because this was so cool that I was talking to Mai! So the next day (Today) I went to get a webcam! Now she can see my face! It is awesome talking to you, Mai!


This is a picture of me on the webcam!

Welcome Home John!


Yesterday was a very busy and exciting day! My friend, Ashtyn, has been in the adoption process for quite some time and they finally got united as a family! Now there are 6 kids in the family and 5 of them are girls! Poor John! I got invited to go pick up her parents and John at the airport. I was of coarse taking pictures! There flight was scheduled to come in around 8 last night but they were going to try to get an earlier flight if they could so they told us to have my mom write me a note saying if there Grandpa calls school that I would have permission to leave. But that was only if they called. So they didn't get an earlier flight so I just went to Cross Country practice after school! My mom must of not put two and two together even though we went over this many many times, but she forgot to pick me up from Cross Country! So I use another kids cell phone since I don't have one to call my mom. She answered and she was eating dinner in another town. She felt so bad and my ride was going to be at my house to pick me up in 15 minutes. So she calls my grandma to come get me and then my grandma took me to Ashtyn's house. I quickly put on some new clothes and some more deo! I was such an honor to be at the airport and join there family for this event! We love you, John! Welcome Home!

Ouch!


I was straighting my hair this morning and when I was going to pick it up after it has been plugged in for a few minutes I oviously wasn't paying much attention to what I was picking it up with. I picked it up on the side that is 450 degrees! I dropped it right away luckly as it then landed in the drawer I had open. So it did not land on my toes. Now I have a blister on both sides of my finger. It did not hurt right away but it did 1 and 2 period at school. Next time I will look where I am putting my fingers when using hot objects!
