we had alot of fun

last nite! i'm not gonna put all the pics on right now cuz i'm having quite a difficult time figuring out how to resize stuff, so i'll just put that video on here. i did take that video of us playing pit. it's hilarious! ok, here it is:

NEVERMIND!!!!!

wasn't that funny? oh yeah, the part where ANT janet pushes daddy and he falls over, the reason she did that was b/c he gave her the bear right before grandma won (when she rang the bell). so that meant that ANT janet lost twenty points. that happened 4 times in a row! daddy game ANT janet the bear and then grandma rang the bell! it was sooooo funny! and then after the fourth time (ANT janet now had -80 pts) she decided not to trade with daddy anymore. it was soo funny! ok, you're prob thinking, "wow, i'm sooooo never gonna play that game!" i know it's loud, but when you're actually playing it, it's not that bad. it's just when you're listening to it. plus the sound on my camera is really weird, so it sounds even worse. but it really is fun!!!!!

last nite grandma and grandpa gave me 25 dollars! and mamaw had already bought me batteries, a memory stick, and a case for my camera. so she just gave me a card last nite. then ANT janet gave me three sets of adorable earrings and some make-up. plus today she gave me the shoes she was wearing last nite! she said the heel was too short for her. then ben gave me some AWESOME sunglasses (i've been wanting cool sunglasses for like, a year! and he got me the exact kind i wanted =) that was actually my christmas present, but he wanted to give it to me early. and then my parents gave me an aeropostale jacket (YES!!!! and actually, i picked it out, so i knew i was getting it =), and some cute pjs. so i pretty much did get just about everything i wanted!!!!! we had a lot of fun!

oh yeah, we had enchiladas (my favorite meal) for dinner. we also had refried beans, onion shortcake (YUM!!!!), southwest cheescake, and chips and salsa. and then for dessert, grandma made PEACH COBBLER!!! she makes the best peach cobbler in the world!!! and she also made german chocolate pie (i'd never had that before, but it was really good!). oh yeah, and we had leftover fat ladies!! so we had quite alot of food! it was all sooooo good!!!!!

well, i gotta go! actually i gotta wait until the video is done loading....(i should hum the jeopardy song! do, do, do, doo doo, do, do, doooo =) ok, i think i'll go fold clothes while i'm waiting! lol

AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! GRRRR! there was an error in uploading my video!!!! *sigh* oh well. i guess i'll just (eat worms....not! jk) try again later......sniffle.....tear.......

so....today's my bday!

i don't really know what to post about though! ummm.........oh yeah!! tonight we're having grandma, grandpa, ANT janet, jessica, and maybe mamaw over for dinner. we're gonna have sooooo much fun!!!! i haven't seen jessica in quite a while, so i can't wait to see her!!!!! just in case i haven't said this before, jessica is my dad's sister, his other sister is ANT janet.

oh yeah, i'm not actually fourteen yet. unfortunately i have to wait until about six o'clock tonite.

um.....er! i can't think of anything to post about!!!!!! um......we had fun yesterday at our friends' house! we ate, talked, and played games the whole time. it was a lot of fun! we actually only played two games, but we played them each for quite a while. we played 'pit' first. that game is sooooooo much fun! we got it at a yardsale, and we LOVE it! so we taught them how to play it, and now they like it alot too! then after we all had a headache from that game (it's really loud =), we played 'catch phrase'. i love that game too! my grandparents have it, but it's an old version. i would like to get the new version of it sometime.

we'll prob play pit alot tonite. we all love that game, it'll be VERY loud with jessica, daddy, and ANT janet there! haha! if you've never played that game, the reason it's so loud is b/c....well, i can try to explain it.

ok, so there are eight different commodities. examples: wheat (100 pts), flax (5o pts). wheat is the most valuable commodity and flax is the least valuable. but anyway, you start out with 9 cards each. the object of the game is to get 9 cards of all one commodity. so when someone rings the bell, you start. you are trying to collect all of one commodity. so you hold, for example, one card in your hand and yell, "ONE! ONE! ONE!!!" and just keep yelling that until either someone trades with you or you give up and try two. you can trade up to four cards at a time. if you have more than one card, they all have to be one commodity, you have to have like, all wheat or all rice, or whatever. you can't trade rye and flax at the same time. hmm....this is prob very confusing....so i'll try video-taping a round of it tonite. it'll be very loud and hard to understand but it'll be funny! (heh heh =)

ok, anyway.....um....oh yeah, i need to email all the tipos and tell them the idea my mom had for 'flannel and frappucino nite'. that's a youth activity we have at our church. it is sooooo much fun! we all wear flannel pants, and drink frappucinos! but that's not all we do....yeah, that would be pretty boring if that was all. so it's like a drive-in movie. we're supposed to make a cardboard box car. it's soooo much fun! and we watch a movie while sitting in our cars. if you don't make a car, then you have to pay 2 dollars to go. i made a car last year. it was kinda um....not cool. haha! well, we have this thing where you vote for the coolest car, the cutest car, and the most functional car (i think that's it). yeah, i voted for laura's car for the cutest, and she wanted to vote for mine for something. but she couldn't decide which catagory to put it in cuz it was kinda lame. yeah, that's what happens when i come up with the design and then paint it myself! my dad helped with the shape of it, and that was pretty cool, but the colors were kinda weird. it was like, blue and mauve. lol! it was blue with mauve flames on it. heh heh...yeah. i have a pic of it on my parent's computer. oh yeah! one cool thing about it was that the headlights turned on and off! they were two of grandpa's flashlights and they were the same color and size, so i just cut holes out in the front and stuck them in there. oh and i borrowed two of grandpa's license plates too! he collects liscense plates. so that was something cool about it.

ok, anyway, my mom had the idea that me, laura, bri, erin, and kat could make a train. we could each make a train car! wouldn't that be cool?! yeah, i already have the box for my car. it's the box from my mom's stand mixer. it's pretty big. ok, we just remembered that someone made a train last year, so that prob wouldn't be good. oh well. last year, someone also made a banana for a car! it was awesome!

ok, so i'll have to put the pic of my car on here! i also need to put the pics of my nails on today. well, i g2g! ipml!

on friday nite

we went to gma and gpa's house for dinner. thursday was daddy's bday, and this thursday is ben's bday, and the 28th is my bday. so it was kinda a bday dinner for all of us. it was gonna be at our house, but my mom was really sick, so we had to have it over there. but it was really fun. gma and gpa, ANT janet, big papaw, daddy, ben, and i were there. we had pork chops (which gpa said were possum), shrimp (which i didn't eat), macaroni & cheese, lima beans, purple cabbage stuff, and maybe a few other things that i can't remember. and then for dessert, we had blueberry pie and peach cobbler. both were sooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!! gma makes the BEST peach cobbler ever! and her blueberry pie was great too, and i don't even like blueberries! after we ate we got cards from big papaw and gma and gpa. ANT janet gave daddy a card but i guess she's waiting until our bdays to give ben and i ours. actually she's not even gonna give me anything b/c i told her she wasn't invited to my bday party. she's mad at me.
but we had alot of fun.

we stayed home from church today b/c we just needed a day of rest. this week has been insane.

this thursday (on ben's bday) i'm gonna get my hair cut. idk exactly what i want to do with it, but hopefully i'll figure it out b4 thursday!
i'll put before & after pics of my hair on here. ANT janet let me borrow a hair styles book to look through, and i'm trying to find a style in there that i like. i just don't want my hair to be flat to my head. well, we'll see!

we decided that we're going to my friend emily's house for thanksgiving. it is going to be sooooo much fun! we have a monster list of food that we're gonna have! i won't list it all, but it's alot! i'm very happy though that i convinced my mom to bring our salsa. emily and i said that even if no one else ate it, we would! it'll be our appetizer! our salsa is soooo amazing! (sorry if i'm bragging)

well i gtg! ipml =)

i've sang in our choir, i think 3 times now. it's so much fun. we're gonna sing this sunday nite too. we'll be singing a couple of christmas songs.

my bday was last month. i turned 13 (finally). i got a new bedspread, some lipstick, and eyeshadow, from my parents. my dad and i also went to a really nice restaurant. he gave
me $14 and a ring. he called it my 'princess ring' because i'm his princess and God's princess. it was really neat.

my gma and gpa gave me $13 and a tiara. then my aunt janet paid for getting my ears pierced. then my friend erin made me an awesome purse, it looks alot like a vera bradley. my friend bri got me a pair of socks because they had siamese cats on them, they're really cute. jaymee made me a neat card. jacob got me spiderman 3. it's really cool, it's the special 2 disc edition. that's my fav0rite movie.
