White Christmas

Well.... we're up to 7 inches of snow. It snowed all day.... it was really pretty... everything looks nice now. I'm just happy our heat works! :) Karen's heat wasn't working for the majority of the day today. As you can imagine she was a little upset, but luckily they had space heaters.... and they have now gotten it fixed. Anyways these are some pics my dad took.

They're from the back "porch". And here is a close up of the ruler.

So it's been cold!!! Today however was warmer than it's been all week... I think it got up to 34 degrees....... no school tomorrow.

Snow Days

Well.... today we didn't have school... too much snow.... and it's icy. The only good thing about today is that I wrote my 4 pg. research paper this morning.... it's due Wednesday. However school has been canceled again for tomorrow.... and then it's supposed to snow Wednesday and I think Thursday or Friday also...... then we have 2 weeks off for Winter Break.......................................... :( so I guess tomorrow I'll do whatever problems I didn't do in math class...... then double check to see if I have anything else do.... just in case (crossing my fingers that we at least have one day of school.... or 2 this week). So..... I'll probably be blogging a lot the next...... 3 weeks.......... sigh......

It's snowing :(

Do you see that snow sticking to the road??? We're supposed to get about 4 inches today.... we're waiting around to see if they cancel church today.... and then if it's still here tomorrow, school will be canceled. :( The temperature is dropping, and the flakes are getting bigger so that will mean that probably both will happen. :( sigh...... I just hope it doesn't freeze tonight.....

So this morning I went out to take some pictures... I'm not happy that it's snowing but it looks pretty.

Emma decided to see how well the snow compacted for a snow ball.... It's pretty dry and powdery.

Here you can kind of see the snow falling.

Some leaves on our driveway... thought they looked pretty cool, mom thought that with all the leaves on our lawn and driveway made everything look bad... I think it made it look better.

So even though I'm upset about the snow.... as you can tell.... the rest of my siblings, especially Tayler... are extremely happy about the snow and the chances that school will be canceled.

Drama, Drama, Drama

Well, I'm busy, yet again! This time it's because of plays. Right now we are doing a play called "Anatomy of Gray". It's a really good play, funny and sad. I'm having a lot of fun doing it. Monday and Tuesday are our last days. Then we have Thanksgiving Break!!!! YAY!! Then after this play ends our Drama Teacher is holding try outs for our "Winter Musical", normally it's a "Spring Musical", but she's trying to avoid clashing with senior projects. This year for our musical we are doing "Oliver"! It's going to be a lot of fun.... but there will be days that I'm at the school from 7a.m. to 11 or 12p.m.:( oh well it will be a lot of fun! It always is. Besides the sleep deprivation and having the songs stuck in your head for a year! :) lol. I'll have to take a picture of the light board sometime so that you all know where I'll be disappearing to for a couple of weeks.... a month.... idk... a while! :)

Football

So football is over and I now have some pics! They didn't turn out the greatest when I scanned them. I cleaned them up a little but they are copies of the actual pictures. We all pitched in a little bit of money and one of the managers took them home and made copies. So they didn't turn out the greatest when I scanned them.... but at least I get to show you! :)
So here are some of the managers. There was one more, and Karen is a student trainer. But we wanted a picture of all the girls, so we got one! It just so happened that they decided to take pictures on a hot day, and boy let me tell you, those jerseys are heavier than they look so they were HOT!!! Not the best thing when it's muggy and sunny.... I'm just happy though that I wasn't wearing one of the black jerseys! :)

And here are my boys! (at least the varsity and some JV ones) And the coaches. Football was a lot of fun! I'm happy that I did it this year, but I'm also happy that it's over! I meat a lot of great guys and now have great new friends. I still see all of them ALL THE TIME!! so it's almost like it never ended. lol This was the last season for all of the football coaches on the team, next year the boys get all new coaches. I hope it goes better for them next season than it did this season.

Homecoming

So as you know (if you read my moms blog) I went to homecoming with some of my friends this year. I had a lot of fun and I am happy that I went. We lost our homecoming game by a touch down or two. I can't remember exactly, I think it was only one that they made in the last minute or so of the game. (It was really sad :( the guys were not happy) So our season was not the best this year. But the dance was fun! :) (note: the pictures are backwards, but I don't want to redo them :) )

So my friend Karen asked the guy in the picture above (Mike) to go to homecoming with her.... but it wasn't a date, and it's really complicated so I'm not going to explain it! :) So the above picture was taken when we went to his house after the dance for ice cream and to hang out and his sister(in above pic with him) got home just before we left so we took pictures!

So we decided to go with a group of Mikes friends and we agreed because Karen and I are friends with at least one of the couples in the group (the girl in the polka dot dress). She is one of the football managers also and we became very good friends with her. We went to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was really good and we had a great time. Then we headed off to the dance!

Me, Mike, and Karen.

Karen and I at Karen's house before we went to meat the group.

And here I am! I really liked my dress! Thank you Ross! I found my shoes and dress there. Then went to Fred Meyers to get my jewelry and a friend in the ward sewed my jacket (darn strapless dresses!). I was really happy how it all turned out!

B-U-S-Y

WOW!!! It's been a long time since the last time I've blogged! I have been very busy and am not home very much anymore. I'm the football manager and am at football practices everyday! I also have games on Thursday (normally Freshman games which don't go very late, but a couple weeks ago JV and Freshman were home so I had to go to both), and the Varsity game on Friday nights. I get home from practice at different times each day, Freshman games I get home around 5 or 6, which is about the time I get home from practice. Varsity games are a different story!!! The away games I don't get home till around 11 or 12 depending on how far away the game is, I went to a game a couple weeks ago that was 4 hours away! We left school at 11 in the morning and had a couple of rest stops on the way, then we hit the road at 11 for about a mile to Wendy's for the boys to get food. We didn't get home 'till 3 in the morning!! (we only had one rest stop on the way home) Thank heavens for the charter bus! :)

This last game was home, however being in Oregon it was pouring down rain. As a result I've gotten a little sick.... and all the games in this month will more than likely be rainy. This week Varstiy is playing Home on Thursday (Freshman(home :) yay!)/JV(away) on Wednesday) because we only have a 3 day week. Then next week we have a game in Newburg :( they don't have a turf field and their field is HORRIBLE!!! It will be very muddy! Then the next week we have our homecoming game, then the next week is our last game in Canby(on Haloween). So I have a very busy schedule. I will also very soon be working on our second fall play, then our spring musical, I'm in a couple of clubs, I'll be managing Track and Field, and I need to get to work on all the scholarship and college apps, and senior project! So I am a very busy person and if you don't hear from me for a while that is why! :)
