My nephew

As most (if not all) of you know My brother, mom & dad drove up to visit Wyatt this past weekend! They seemed to have a great time! I just wanted to share some pictures that they took on their trip. I know Meg & I can't wait to see him too! He's getting big!!!

They arrived home last night around 10 pm after a long drive safe & sound! It was a blessing that everything went so well on their trip. Thanks for all the prayers!

Anne-Lauren's Grave

On their way back home they stopped at my sisters grave. Our family hasn't been up there to see it in 10 years! It was neat that it was on the way home! Here are a couple pictures from there.

(sorry but I had to black out the last name)

Rachael's Graduation

Here are some pictures of Rachael's graduation & party(most of you know her, we've known her forever!) I can't believe that she graduated...she's like another sister to me. What are we going to do next year when it's Meg?

Meg & Rachael after she graduated. [Meg's practicing for next year!]

In Italy

Since my uncle & aunt are in Italy, we had my cousins over to visit last Fri! We had a lot of fun! We played games, watched movies, then the next AM they went swimming before going back home to Papa & Gma Ellie until their parents are back!

We had a nice visit! It's been awhile since they spent the night here & it was fun! You can really really tell that they both are growing up!!! They'll be taller than me before I know it!

Just wanted to share a picture of them during their visit! I think that my Broncos helmet (which is "decoration") is the favorite thing of all the cousins to play with when they are over!! It's funny to see them put it on.... I think they look like bobble heads! Well, that's it! I can't wait to hear about & see pictures of Italy...I'm sure we all agree!

What Ambiance

Tonight was Megan's induction into the National Honor Society. I'm very proud of my little sis! Here are some pictures that I was able to snap during the ceremony:
{sorry the action shots are kinda blurry (I guess that's what you could expect with action shots though) but I wanted to show you them so that you could feel like you were a part of it too :o)}

O W R T V Z

Does that look familiar??? Those were the answers to my eye exam today... Too bad I didn't study ahead of time, I might have passed!(hehe just kidding)

But those stupid eye exams do put you under a lot of pressure...1 or 2, ok now which looks better 1 or 2. Sometimes even when I know that the correct answer is 1, I second guess myself. It's like a timed-test. Ahhhh....And times-tests are the worst!

I got through it ok. I guess I failed the test though, because he said that I'm 1 percent or 1 level (I forget the actual term he used) more nearsided than my previous glasses prescription.

My glasses are so cute! I like them a lot. I have to get use to them though. When you get new glasses with new prescriptions it always looks a little weird when you first put them on. (sorry for those of you who don't have the wonderful first-hand knowledge of what I'm talking about)

Well, that is pretty much it. Oh yeah one more thing.

My lil sis is being inducted into the National Honor Society on Mon. night! I'm so proud of her. I think she said that ever 5 or 9 weeks they check all the members GPA's and they have to have above a 3.5 or they are kicked out. But we all know that she's ok with that!

So we are going to the ceremony on Mon. night. It'll be nice. I am planning on getting a new memory stick for my camera so that I can take pictures!(I only have the little memory stick that the camera comes with right now) And I will share them with you!!

ok-I luv ya bye bye

This is some FINE muttin

We were just watching Seinfeld, I wasn't actually eating muttin.....(I don't even know what it is!)

I just wanted to catch up with everyone. I got my final grades back today. I got an A in College Comp., B in Sociology and a C in Statistics & my GPA is a 3.0 right now. I think I did pretty good.

I found out on Mon. right before I took my statistics final that I had gotten a 94/A on my last test, so that meant that I had a B in the class. But after the final I just blarely missed a B. I was just proud of myself for getting an A on a statistics test. I can't remember for sure, but I don't think I've gotten an A on any college math test. I was proud of myself for that.

I haven't heard anything about my nursing application. I'll let you know when I do.

Not too much else is going on. My dad & I took my grandparents to the airport today. Oh and I'm so excited I have an eye appointment tomorrow, and I'm getting new glasses! I needed them, my other ones are broken on the nose piece and have an old perscription. I have getting headaches when I wear them. So I'm glad. Well, I guess that it for now!

k-Bye

Hope you had a good weekend

I had a pretty good weekend! Sat. my mom, dad, grandma, grandpa & I all went to Portobello & then went and to Cirque to see La Nouba! We had a great dinner! :o) (thanx dave) and the show was a lot of fun! Grandma & Grandpa really seemed to like it.

It seemed to be a little different from the last time that I saw it. (actually thinking about it I believe someone said that they had changed it a little bit...Karen maybe?) Well, it was still a lot of fun! We actually bought the DvD. It's so fun to watch it's just so amazing what they can do. If you haven't seen it, I'd definitely recommend you seeing it if you get the chance!We had a nice time! Thanks again Dave for all your effort & help!

I did miss out on going to see Audio A, Toby Mac etc., I was ok with it but Meg & her friends had a lot of fun! Meg got Toby Macs towel!!! (eww I know that sounds gross, but it doesn't stink I sware!(lol) And she got a bunch of the bands to sign it, so it made for a nice momento.

Today...well today was pretty boring! You'd be surprised how fast the day goes when all your doing in studying statistics! Seriously...that's all I did all day! My test is tomorrow AM so I had to be ready! :o) I'm so glad it's tomorrow, because after it's over I'm on my summer break!

I think this is the first summer that I haven't actually taken summer classes at all, so it'll be cool to have a little break before I (hopefully) start the program in August!

I don't know if I mentioned it before...but I did sign up for the August RN program. I should be finding out anytime now if I got in. So..we'll see!

Well, that's about it. Hope you enjoy the pictures...I took them last Thurs. I didn't get too much with my camera but my dad got a lot on film. (I was using the movie setting a lot!) But I think I did get a few real good ones of Wyatt by himself! I especially love the first one I posted today....
Ok...time for bed!

A few more pictures

I love this picture...He's laying on a blanket that my grandma Daisy made for my brother (his daddy) when he was a baby!
