Family Christmas

This weekend we had Christmas on my dad's side of the family. It was loads of fun! (but also exausting) The plan was this....

Saturday

9:00- Go to Jack's lego league competition

9:30- Go to the Y and watch the swim meet
11:00- Go home for lunch and see cousins.

After lunch- Take Liz to walmart so I could give her her present.

Then go to Jack's lego league competition again.

After that just hangout with the cousins and play games.

Sunday

9:00- Church at Grandpa and Grandma's church.

10:00- Brunch (PANCAKES AND BACON!!!!)

After breakfast- Presents

The day didn't go as I had planned but it all worked out of course! My youngest cousin is 11 and was very excited to open presents. So of course she would say something like i think we should open tonight so we can enjoy them and we won't have time after church. So then then she got some of the others on board. They got together and made a petition (Which was really cute) and they would sign and the adults would change it and so on. Long story short, we opened presents Saturday night but the deal was that kids had to do dishes (Luckly paper plates were used!) at dinner and brunch.... I told everyone to not use syrup! So here is what really ended up happening...

Summer

Last weekend my parents went ATVing without me so my cousin came to stay with us! We had a lot of fun! We stayed up almost all night watching movies, eating popcorn, and making strawberry smoothies! I had told my neighbor that I could babysit on Saturday before I knew that Liz would be coming so she just came with me and we had a lot of fun going down the slide, playing trackers, and changing diapers. On Sunday we sent Jack to camp!!!!! It is so quiet in the house! My mom and I are going to deep clean his room today! I did mine on Sunday! I also started cross country on Monday. I am so sore! But it is a lot of fun! Anyway.... that is what I have been up to for the 1st 5 days of summer.

One thing after another!

Yesterday was a very interesting day. I don't even know where to start! I will start with getting home from school. My friends, Lauren and Taylor desided we needed to go on a run before track starts on Monday. So I went home, got dressed, at some fruit loops and we were off. About a 1/2 mile in I started to feel like the fruit loops were a bad idea. Long story short I ended up walking the rest of the way. As we were almost home I ran into one of my old teachers that was on a run. So we stopped and talked to her. Mean while my mom pulls up and says we have to be a someones house in 10 min. so I get in the car go home get changed and then on the way over to their house my dad hits a pothole and next thing I know is that we are pulled over to the side of the road with a flat tire. So we call the people to pick us up. Now we were going to go eat dinner in a town that is an hour away so they end up driving. About 1/2 way there Scott, who was driving gets pulled over! The funny thing about that was as he was walking back to his car Amy, his wife, realizes that she knew him because she had dated him in high school and grad. with his brother. Luckly he did not get a ticket. It was a very interesting night and now I know I am watching my cousins. I hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
