Ice Skating...

Friday our home school group went ice skating. I hadn't been skating for so long that it was really hard to get my balance at first. Finally, after like an hour and a half, and almost falling like 10 times, I got it! I actually didn't fall at all. I was very proud of myself because I AM NOT a graceful faller in the least, so it would have been extremely embarrassing. Sara and I were skating buddies. She took lessons when she was around five(so it's been a while), but she was still better and faster than I was. She didn't fall either...we're thinking about going pro (not!!).

There was probably like fifteen kids out on the ice from our group, so it was fun to skate around with them too. My friend Darnell would like to sneak up behind me and then pass me really fast...he fell like three time (serves him right...LOL!). Afterwards all of our feet hurt terribly, but it was well worth it.

My peeps: Sara, Julia, Jamie, Shawna, and Maddie.

Julia's homies.

Awww!...now we DO NOT look alike. Julia looks more like my mom and I am more of my dad.

Ooooo, girls with attitude and ice skates. They're dangerous...LOL!

Best Friends!!! I look so SHINY in this pic...ahhhhh!

Priscilla may...

Priscilla may be called "The Fearless Baker" but that is only because she has an 11 pound rolling pin that she's not afraid to use...

...okay, well it's not quite an 11 pound rolling pin, it's more like a 12" wooden dowel, and maybe only I call her "The Fearless Baker" because she can bake just about anything there is. But don't you think she looks kind of dangerous in this picture?...just a little? I'm scared...LOL!

Hope you enjoy this post Priscilla, I miss you!!

Disneyland Passes...

Today my friend Katie told me that she was on her way to Disneyland to get her annual pass. So, now all of my friends (Sara, Katie, Meagan, and Chase) all have Disneyland passes. Funny thing is, we haven't been together yet. It's fun having passes because you feel like you own the park. You can come and go when you like, and also park hop. Julia and I like to park hop, but the original Disneyland is my favorite. We'll go to California Adventure to ride some of the fast rides, then go back to Disneyland and go on Indiana Jones...yeah!! (my favorite ride, can you tell?). Anyway, here are some pictures from a recent trip to Disneyland for our friend Emma's birthday.

It was raining all day while were there, so most of the time we were pretty wet...and cold, very cold.

While we were in line for Indiana Jones (for like 45 minutes) we kept sane by taking pictures or ourselves.

It was a fun time, and even in the rain Disneyland is still, "The Happiest Place On Earth"...or so they say.

Anchors Aweigh...

Here are some picture of Justin's recent visit. He went back home this past Sunday, so we had about 12 days to visit with him. He'll be deploying soon, so he came down on leave. He'll be over seas for 6-8 months. I am kind of anxious, and stressing about his safety, but the Lord knows the number of his days, and I know Justin is always in His care.

Justin and Nikkie the day he left

Justin and Jack...he loves his big brother!!

Me and Justin...I LOVE MY BROTHER!!! Uhh, do you think we look alike (I don't...lol!)?

Long Time, No Post...

Okay, so since I don't really have anything in particular to write about, I'll tell you about my past few gym experiences. Last week, I got a text from my friend while I was on the elliptical machine. So, I texted...well tried to text her back, but in doing so managed to almost fall off the machine and hit the lady next to me...I did say almost. So that was SUPER embarrassing. Then yesterday I was, once again, on the elliptical and there was a gym employee cleaning off the machines. So she's cleaning the bikes in front of me, and then moves to the elliptical. The one to the right of me was occupied, so she went to the one on my left. *Just so you can get an accurate picture, there is only like a 12 inch space between the machines*. Anyway, she's cleaning it, and I'm just doing my thing, when all of a sudden I feel a bump. I was like "Oh my gosh, did I just hit her?!" The funny thing is, is that like two seconds before I was thinking to myself, "I hope I don't hit her, that would be so awful". Well, sure enough, I look back and she's looking at me with this look of "Huh...I just got hit by an elliptical". I didn't hit her hard or anything, so she wasn't hurt (which was good). I apologized and she said it was her fault, she got in the way (she was behind me, so I couldn't see her). It was like something you'd see in a comedy or something. So I guess tomorrow I'm not working out on those...LOL!
