Me and Brianna



Before school started, we had a party. You could call it Make-up and Milkshakes, or Cookies and Cosmetics, but either way, this is what happened.
some of my friends, (Kt and Sara included) came over with Sister LeGate, who works for Mary Kay. she showed us how to take care of our skin in the best possible way, and how to put on make-up correctly, then she gave us make overs, and we ate our milkshakes.

Update

So, how's everybody doing?
I'm just great, Alpha is either a crazy pants, or a super sweet little guy. He is growing tremendously fast, and is getting better at general commands. (like sit, stay, lay down) I'm swell in my new glasses, i also got a recent hair cut, nothing big, i got it layered more. And i must admit it, I'm finally bored of summer, i don't really want school to start either, but it's one or the other, or so I'm told. Everything's pretty much as normal as it gets around here.

my puppy Alpha K9

for size comparison

he enjoys tearing up this monkey. he loves it!

we got a rag toy for him, we're trying to stop him from biting everything

Today's Wipe Out

Well, today, Nicki and i were bike riding, we'd gone all the way to Ford MS and were on our way back when i hit a tiny pebble, and went off the sidewalk onto more concrete, dirty concrete. Nicki then, unable to stop careened into me, landing her, her bike, and my bike on top of me, which is where most of the minor scrapes came from. I got a pretty bad one on my elbow, totally scraping all skin off in an area about two inches long, and one inch wide. it hurts. them my knee got some, not as bad, but still very painful, and dirty, my hand was even less, but we couldn't get the dirt out no matter what we tried. it stings a bit still. my thigh got a bruise on it, ans the skin wasn't scraped too bad though. moving back to my hand, i have a bruise from a bike handle bar about the width of a quarter,and about twice as high. it's slightly blue, but it's not really turning colors that much.
well, i hope i didn't sound to self pitiful there, but it really hurts... :(

Catching up

OK. well, i haven't posted in a while, so I'm catching up. I posted about the rough riders game, so that's taken care of. Next, last Thursday, the sixth grade farewell took place in the Vaughan Cafeteria. There was a musical put on by the choir, about pirates and a stowaway, it was AMAZING! after them, the orchestra played a song, but i missed it because I'm in band, and we were in the library rehearsing our son to go on next, then, after us, the choir sang two songs in different languages. Three students read their Vaughn Memories papers. i was disappointed to not be one of them, but, once i heard them, i loved them, they were way better than mine, truly terrific. There was then the signed painting like every year presented by the service council (which i'm on). and a slide show that i helped make.
pictures to come.

Rough Riders

A few weeks ago, for a school trip, we went to the Frisco Rough Riders game. it was ton's of fun. We had free food till the sixth inning included in our ticket. and so i ate a bunch. I don't really know how to describe it, so i'll post the pics i got taken, and sent to me. I now know i love baseball... at least watching it ;)

We went to the zoo on Monday. i tried to take some pics in the bird place, but they didn't turn out that great.

this is a really bad pic of me, but Afton is cute.

Snow Again

I know your all probably tired of hearing of the fun and excitement we've had from all the snow. so i will be brief: I had the best time ever! (you've probably seen all these pics from other blogs, but oh well....) charlies angels pose the first dragon me on Thursday night Draco the Dragon

I've been meaning to post about Christmas, so here it is:

Katherine's family came on my birthday, and stayed until the 2nd, it was fun to spend time with them, and go to many parks. Melissa was also here from the 19th till the 3rd. So we all enjoyed each others company while it lasted. The best present this year was most likely without a doubt the Wii we got. I personally haven't excelled at any sport, or game, but I've only been beaten twice out of all the many times I've done boxing, and about that many at swordplay, so stay off my back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and start of the new year.
