Nintendo DS Lite

Happy birthday to me! Since I have been babysitting I have earned alot of money. So I treated myself to something. I bought myself a Nintendo DS Lite. A portable gaming system! Its soo cool!
It has 2 screens too! Here a couple pics of it:


Its got to be the coolest thing ever!

Well we have no church tonight, and after the vikings football game (Vikings are currently winning. Woot Woot!!) the family is going out to eat for my birthday. Its early but this is the only day everybody is free. We are too busy. Haha.
My birthday party Friday and Saturday. We are doing a scavenger hunt at the Aiken Mall. It should be really fun!
Christmas play practice now goes on every Sat. morning. There goes sleeping in! Every year I say this is my last play, its too much. Then the next year I do it again. Now I know why I say I'm stopping. =) This truely is my last year though. Next year I will be in highschool and then I can't! How scary is that!!

Gotta run, Vikes are on!

Celebration

Jenna left about one hour ago! Aunt Denise and Uncle Andy came and picked her up at 8:00. Aunt Denise gave her a bath here. Boy, were Ellie and Lily hyper! They had been cooped up in a car for 8 hours so I can see they were excited but they were wild. While Aunt Denise was giving Jenna a bath the girls were just running around in our room and bathroom. Lily drops some towels, I bend down to pick them up. Right as I come up Lily opens a drawer endI I hit my back on the corner of the drawer. That hurt!! But I'm okay now. Alls good. I'm glad that Jenna is gone. She was easy and fun but never-the-less I am glad shes back home.
Once she left we finished watching a movie on TV then we had some Apple Cider and had a little party =) To It being the weekend and surviving a long week of babysitting. It was good!
I'm very tired, so I'll be going now. Enjoy your weekend!!

More pictures

I couldn't help myself. I am a camera fanatic! I just had to post some more cute pictures of her. Shes very photogenic!

































I just love those blue eyes!
Anyways today went okay. AS little crabby but what baby isn't? I'm not complaining. Shes very very cute.
Tomorrow I hope to go over to my friend Julia's house. I haven't seen her in a while. I've seen her, but haven't actually gotten together with her. Who knows if it will happen.
Aunt Denise said that they all miss her and I'm suppose to give her a big hug and kiss from all of them. I said I'd gladly do it =)
I like this babysitting thing. Its nice!
I miss dad quite a bit. He said its 18 degrees there. Brrr. He went to a museum about Alaska earlier today. When it was 4:15 here, it was 12:15 there. Weird huh? Its like hes in a whole different country!
Well I have to go. I've got to get Jenna up at 8 again tomorrow. I have to have alot of energy! Sleep well everybody

Heres are some pictures of Jenna. She leaves on Saturday!!


She loves her food!
Me holding her
Shes a very happy baby!

Aunt Denise is on the phone so I'll blog later... Bye!

Nope, but close!

I found out the cast of the Aiken Community playhouse. I didn't get the part I wanted, but I'm okay with that. I can now just do the church musical. I have the lead in that one, and they wanted me to do it so...

Jenna was a dream today! She was smiley, happy, cute, well behaved. Same as for Tuesday! She amazes me. One day shes crabby, fussy, kind of annoying, then the next shes soooo cute!
Anyways its going good. Andrew stayed home with her while me, mom, Emily and Matthew went to church. He put on football, and she fell asleep in his arms! When I got home I ran in the house, because I wanted to see her. I don't know what I'm going to do when she leaves! I've gotten so used to taking care of her!! I'll miss her, but then again I will be fine.

Grandma wants to go to Texas this November. She asked me to check flight prices. She mentioned me going with her... I dont know if I want to, but it would be a lot of fun. Right now its all up in the air. She might not even go. I want to try to get up to Minnesota sometime this year or early next. I miss snow... I need a real winter! It gets 40 here and people are flipping out saying its freezing. I was raised in the south, but I still have northern blood in me! I love the cold weather!

I am going to try to get some more schoolwork done before I go to sleep so, sweet dreams and have a blessed day tomorrow!

Babies and christmas plays

Jenna has officially started teething. If only we weren't babysitting her when she started! She has been quite fussy these last couple days. Please pray for us!

I had my second audition last night. I went on Sunday and just did a cold read, but then I had to go again and sing. Luckily we got to practice in a back room before we went out there. I sang good I think. I was probably one of the top 5. Now I just have to wait for them to post the cast either online or actually at the theater. I'm pretty nervous. But if I don't get the part in this play, I will always have the church play...

Well fortunately it's nap time for Jenna, so I gotta go. I'm hoping to get some schoolwork done while she naps. I'm out

Where to begin!

Oh so much has been going on. I haven't forgotten about my blog, but it's been pretty hard getting entries in. I don't even remember know where to start, and where I stopped blogging!
I have still been babysitting a lot. Mostly for my 6 month old baby cousin. Me and Emily used to be the great babysitting team, cause I would entertain the kids but Emily would take care of them. Now I have started to take both the roles! Its hard but I can handle it.
I FINALLY got a cellphone!! Whoohoo! Its not the coolest, newest, or in the best condition, but never-the-less, its a cellphone! Andrew got booted off from our family plan since he's in college =)
I turn 13 in 17 days! Then I will officially be a teenager. Yay!
I'm homeschooled and liking it. I don't go to church as much as I thought I would, but thats fine. Cause in place I babysit in the morning and make money! Like I said, I babysit A LOT. Haha
I am in the christmas musical at my church, again. Your suppose to stop being in it at grade 6, but I kinda broke that and joined even though I am in 8th grade. I got the lead part, Mrs. Evans, the choir director. I am actually auditioning for a play in our local theater. Its called "Dear Santa." I go tomorrow to audition, and if I would get a part in that play, I wouldnt be able to do the church musical. So I'm praying that if I'm suppose to do the church play, that I wouldnt get the ACP (aiken community playhouse) play. I'm really nervous...

For the next 7 days we will be taking care of Jenna, the 6 month old cousin I was talking about, while Aunt Denise and Uncle Andy and the girls go to Disney World. This is the first day and so far so good! She is a very happy and content baby. But its feeding time so I gotta go.
Just catching up. Sorry for the delay of posts. I will try to be more consistent
