ok heres some reallllllly cool pictures...really quick..before i get kicked off the computer! :-)















this one of isabel looks like it's from heroes or something.

um.today is omi's birthday. happy birthday.

so im kinda bored but kinda not. its one of those kinda days.
so yeah here's some lyrics for chris tomlin. i totally love them. they're really neat. ! :-)

The way I was made

Caught in the half-light, I'm caught alone
Waking up to the sunrise and the radio
Feels like I'm tied up, what's holding me?
Just praying today will be the day I go free

I want to live like there's no tomorrow I want to dance like no one's around I want to sing like nobody's listening
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty
I want to love like I'm not afraid
I want to be the man I was meant to be
I want to be the way I was made

Made in Your likeness, made with Your hands
Made to discover who You are and who I am
All I've forgotten help me to find
All that You've promised let it be in my life

ok i have to go clean the room in case uncle dreas and jill come over..yay... :-D ..then maybe i'll get to finally play the piano!

teia

p.s. here's a great picture of me and erin.! and my new haircut. ;-P i heart this picture!

heyhey...so im at home watching ethan color a pretty picture....and last night we had our christmas concert..and it went ...ok. yeah. not too great. but not horrible. i wont go into great detail because um. yeah. that would be mean to others and they might cry...and i dont feel like dealing with that right now...so yeah..um... i love listening to the preacher's wife soundtrack...it's totally amazing. and i love her voice..and now that she's off drugs.. yay...she looks beautiful... so eyah...um....and i love the words of all the music. man. i wish i could do music sutff...better than i can now. ok im gonna go. ethans being a baby
btw: my bday's coming up everyone. :-) its like 36 days! yay! :-D i did a countdown in erin's planner.

hey everyone.. im really bored and im at schoool for. um.... 2 more hours..i believe..somthing like that ...so yeha. i have to wait..this weekend im writing 2 papers and singing at st. paul.s on sunday..so i have to get up early. :-( stupid choir..but i love it......it's sooo much fun...pat and aly broke up today....and um....erin and josh broke up last weekend..so yeah..what else. um..not much i just really gotta tlalk to mandie about newspaper stuff..but yeah shes wrokign right now..and im listening to craig, noah, ted and evan talking about the browns losing or something.. its really funny. listening to guys talk is hilarious really..this is the second time this week im in a room full of boys while im on the computer and i listen to them..if you think girls are funny listening to. Guys are about as funny. now they're talking about valpo..ok i gotta go..ill probably write more after the bball games...ok..
teia

i had a relatively good day today...it was nice. i got to sleep in late and then i got up and had pancakes and washed lots and lots of dishes..then i hm...i played the piano for a bit. and did a ton of cleaning around the house. it was insane..then josh came over and he hung out with jen most of the time talking about LOST and a play or something. then they talked more about their musical. and me and isabel took TONS of pictures. cause we were bored and wanted to mess around with dad's new camera..so we did. and it was so funny..
here's our favorite:
yes believe it or not there was three of her tonight. .. we love the new camera.





hm..so yeah... yesterday i had a blast with erin in the music room after school. it was soo funny.. i was playing piano and stuff. and then she came up to me with this book of solo soprano songs she was looking at and asked me to plunk out some of the melodies to hear what they sounded like...so i did and we were sitting there doing alll these different songs...it was HILARIOUS..there was this one song called the little green dog and she wanted to do it for the honor choir thing because it's soo funny.. and then finally we started to just make up songs.. or just making the songs into raps and stuff even though they were classical songs..it was sooo much fun..it's one of those memories you dont ever want to forget..so you write it down. ;- ) ...and yeah.um.


during dinner tonight we talked about everything...going to florida and different eating habits when we were younger and how people acted and it was just an overall good time. im soo glad for those dinners when you sit there for an hour or longer even though you were done long ago just talking about stuff. it's nothing inparticular but you just sit and talk about whatever's on your mind or your greatest memories..me, isabel and kellen sit after dinner and talk with dad alot..it's just really nice because you can sit there and think about present day or go back a couple years and tlak about what happened. it's a good reminder to be thankful for all God gives us. He just helps us in the biggest and greatest ways possible. i love it.

today was such a blah day.. it was raining all day and dreary so i kinda felt bored and like the weather-dreary. but then i listened to fun music and that always helps. ;-)

ok sorry that was really random and kinda boring but that's about everything that's happened in the past few days...or just ramblings i decided to get out. ok im gonna go to bed..which i wnated to do a half hour ago.
teia

hey everyone..if anyone reads this.. whats up.. im at school right now..don't worry it's after school..it's like 3:19...and im bored.. i have to wait till five then my mom can pick me up.. so im bored until then...i was going to play piano but i have a feeling mr. staub wanted to leave for cross country ...so i left...and i have to print out a current event which i'm in the process of doing..volleyball's done...it's sad... i'll miss the time that all of us girls and mr. aleithe and kevin all had together..it was just us..it was fun...i cant wait till next year.. and yeah..im gonna be pretty bored otherwise.. shoot i was going to write something and i totally forgot...stupid me..this is taking me a really long time to write...cause im taking a long time. im talking to naomi right now..and sh'e s prety funny.. sooo..i think im done cause this is boring. ill talk to you all later!

PARTING WORDS....for todya:

may the horse be with you

Bored in a stable with nothing to do.
We make a game of throwing our shoes.
Lead me to water, but not to the track.
Show me a saddle and I'll say, "Hey get off my back."
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor of (we like the flavor of) hay.
We're gonna graze all of our days.
Until they take us away and turn us into glue.
Like Mr. Ed always said... May the horse be with you.
May the horse be with you.
May the Horse be with you everyday.
I trot by the fillies (they like me of course).
They all dig my band (yea I'm a rocking horse).
You gotta take off your spurs to ride me you know.
If you want me to stop then yell out "Whoa".
All in favor (all in favor) say "Nay!"
We like the flavor of (we like the flavor of) hay

i thought he was going to drop me! so i was holding on for dear life...and then it didn't help that he was making funny faces at me.. you can kinda tell that his eyebrows are raised..so yeha...

christmas was pretty fun...my grandparents came and i was at mom's house...christmas eve we were at dad's house and it was fun...we all had tons of nice stuff..small stuff but it was alll really nice..i love christmas' like that..i got a cellphone...which is pretty exciting to most people !

for new year's we were at dad's and since we didn't invite any one over dad and jen said we had to do karaoke.which was not horrible...i didn't want to do it at first but then isabel helped me out with 'conquering my fear' i guess...what else...uh oh yeah...the new year we were like yay! actually i guess we were so tired thta we didn't do anything..and then 15 minutes later i was in bed...i was EXHAUSTED..plus church was in the morning..and wow..i was tired..what else....
