Happy Mother's Day..to all moms!!!

He had a really fun mother's day:-)
We went to church, hung around in the afternoon, went to Red Robin for dinner, came home played a "family game" of Scattagories..which kept turning into a argument about if peoples answers were allowed or not..mainly dad anr Eric:-) Then we all watched "Princess Bride" which is a classic in our family:-)

This week is our last week of School!!! WhooHoo!!
Except that I have to do math through the summer, everything else ends this week! YES!
So happy :-) ....Summer's starting!!!!

Day at the Museme

Yesterday we spent the day at the Museum of Life and Science with the Mestases. It was alot of fun. We had a picnic, went on the Train, looked at bugs, went to butterfly house, and then went into the museum and learned about dinosaurs, rocks, germs, space, and animals. It's a very hands-on museum and even us "older kids" had a lot fun:-)lol

Trip to Boone

This past Sunday my parents, Jason, Bekah(family friend), and I went down to Boone to Appalachian to see Sarah's Gospel choir concert. It was pretty fun! we packed a lunch, went to wal mart:-), hung out and watched a movie in her dorm room, went to her concert, and then got pizza. It took us 3 hours to get there and another 3 hours to get back home! so 6 hours in the car.....can you tell we love her....

SCC Concert!

Last night me and mom went to a Steven Curtis Chapman with the Mestases. We volunteered with "Shaohanna's Hope" - an organization that the Chapmans started to care for the orphans. We were "bucket people" we stood in the lobby/theater before the concert/intermission collecting money for "Change for the Orphan". Change for the orphan is a project that at each concert goers can give their loose change to a family living in that area that's adopting. Last night we raised $3,000, some organization matched up to $2,000, so all together the family received $4,000! It's really cool to see what God can do!

It was a really fun night. Since we were volunteers we didn't have to pay to watch the concert. We could sit where ever there was an empty seat. Well it just so happened that there was a whole front row empty! :-) Also after the concert the Mestases had back stage passes, so we were able to go with them back stage and meet Steven Curtis Chapman! It's always nice to know the right people:-) lol

So all together was were able to get a free tshirt, front row seats, back stage passes, and be a part of helping a child in need of a family:-)


Josiah, Keren, and Keziah :-)







Being computer challenged I couldn't figure out how to flip it. sorry:-(

I made it! I'm alive!!!!

I made it through the week!! Even though it was by the skin of my teeth:-)
This week has been one of the longest weeks of my life!!!! 30 hours worth of driver's ed has left me with a head ache:-( lol back to the skin of my teath thing....we had our finals today:-(
You have to get a 70 or above to pass. Well I had done some extra credit earlier in the week which added 2 points to me final score. My teacher handed my test back to me and it said 68%. And of course I thought I failed! But then I heard the teacher say "your extra credit will give you an additional 2 points on to your score" I then counted in my head 68-69-70!!!!!!!
I then said something on the lines of-
"O MY GOSH!!!!! I PASSED!!! WHOO HOO!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!"

Next step- Get behind the wheel:-)...........

longest class ever.......

Extremely boring, Super Long, after a while it leaves you brain dead. Yep, you guessed it........Drivers Ed.
Today was the first of 5 days of the most exciting class I'll ever take....not! The rumors are true! Drivers Ed is sooo boring and long especially when sitting in very uncomfortable chairs with kids who are, well lets just say not the quietest or the smartest (even though they think they are:-)
6 hours down , 24 left of class room and then I get to go be hind the wheel for I think 6 hours! WHOO HOO!
Yes a scary thing to those of you who know me:-) Well I hope I'll be able to post again soon, that is if I make it through the week........

What can I say I'm a Picture Person

Sarah (my sister) took these pictures of Eric and Jason last time she was home.
