Madalyns Visit

Well, I its been awhile since I wrote on here!!!
Lets see, after we got back........my friends from PNG came to visit me! Which was a lot of fun! She was here for a week!

We had some fun at Ross!!!

Ok, this picture, has sort of a long story, ok, so we were playing in the rain[I thought of you Jessie=] so we came in, and we took a shower and it was 5, and we decided to go to the prayer meeting[which is at 6, and its 30 minutes from our house], but we wanted Maddie to see a space shuttle go up[5:30, the time we were suppose to leave], and the food was ready at 5:25, so, we got ready, put our hot stew in mugs and headed outside! So, we were in Jeans, with burning hot stew, on a hot humid day! So we were we so hot.......but we made it to the prayer meeting 15 minutes late!!!! :)

Theres the space shuttle we had to see! :)

We found this Hammerhead shark on the beach!

Maddie and I! <3

We had some fun at the airport!!!

It was a lot of fun! But they are leaving to go back to PNG this month, the 28th! So, I will see her again...........in 2 years!!!

Back!!!

Hey guys......I'm back!! Yay, I am excited to be back and see everybody!!! The flight back was good! We got back a couple hours ago!!!
Well, lets see, we had some interesting things that happened! Well, the 2nd to last day we were in Wisconsin, we were all playing Dutch Blitz, and the fire alarm went off. Amber said that it always goes off, and they never think anything of it! But they decided to look out side and see if anyone was running out, and there was. So, we grabbed their laptop, camera, and important documents, and ran out, within two minutes, the firefighters came! The was a fire pretty close to their apartment, the building is shaped as an L, and they were on one side, and the fire was on the other, so they got no fire or smoke damage! And there was this Mom and two little girls, and the fire was right next door to their apartment, and so they we camping under a tree watching the firefighters, and so we asked if they wanted to come in, so the two girls and her friend came in and ate popcorn, watched T.V., and gave them something to do besides watching the firefighters come in and out!! And the sad thing is, the Mom doesn't have renters insurance! I am not sure on the damage, I hope its not much!

Then, the last night we were there, we went to the park, and on the lake, they had a water skiing show! So, we were watching, and all of the sudden, a guy came walking over saying how anybody could water ski, he was drunk.......and so we were talking to him [cause he would not leave, and would just follow us around] and he would say,"oh, what is that movie, its a comedy, a man and his wife, and his wife is real big? hmmm....its not home improvement.....augh, I hate when I can't think of things! Well, I better get to my baseball game!" and so we tried to think of it, and the whole time he was standing there, he said it like, 5 times, acting like it was his first time asking it! And as we were walking off, he wanted to tell us a joke, it was interesting!

And when we were at Sears, the checkout lady[Rose] talked to me for about 25-30 minutes, and I could not get one word in! [I was just trying to add to the conversation] It went from how dirty money is, to hospital air, to her lung trouble, to gardens, to horrible neighbors, to coupons!!! I tried to say I have to go, but she kept talking! And my family was just standing aways off, watching, and they tried saving me by calling me, but I didn't have my phone on me!!! =) But it was funny!!!

Well, I finally saw all the pictures and video, I am going to put some on for all my family who haven't seen them yet!!! =) See some of you Sunday and on Monday!!!

And we will be staying a couple days in Wisconsin with Amber and Dj, and we will be flying back to Florida the 2nd! Yay!! Usually after vacation, you want to stay there, and in a way, I do, but I am looking forward to getting back, and see everybody, get the pictures and video, and get back to my bed!!! But I miss the grandparents already! =) I will see you all soon!! Can't wait!

We are here!!!!

Hey guys....we have made it to Montana!! Our 18 hour(something like that) drive was long, but fun! The beginning, we all(the girls) sang png songs and songs we sang when we were little! It was so much fun! Then we finally got dinner at 10:35 at McDonalds! I have been wanting orange juice for the longest time, and haven't been able to get any, so, I decided to get some, so I go up there and ask for a glass, and they said that the machine has been taken apart! Oh well, that always happens to me, the machine is broken or they are out of it! =)
Then I slept pretty much the whole night, not the best sleep, but pretty good! I sat in the back of the mini van with brittany, and she is the smallest in the family, but takes the most room, she HAS to be spread out, and I had 1/4 of the back seat, and brittany had the rest! And I don't really like feet touching me, and so brittany had to make sure they were as far away as they can be, but in her sleep, they ended up on my lap most of the time! Oh well, its good memories! So, we got to Great Falls around 4pm! We had pizza(and I finally had my orange juice that I had been waiting for!) and we went for a walk! And the rest of the night, we looked at pictures of when we were little! It was so nice to see my grandparents!! =)
Tomorrow, my moms parents, who I haven't seen in a whole year, are coming for the day! I can't wait!!! And over the weekend, I won't be able to check my mail, or see comments cause we will be up in the mountains for my grandparents 50th Anniversary party! Which should be a lot of fun!
Oh, and something I just found out, my best friend, Madalyn, who I have known since 3rd grade, is coming to visit me for a week, before she goes back to PNG with her family! I am so excited!!! And she can meet everyone at youth group!! So she will now know who I am talking about! I can't wait!!!
Ok, it is late, and I have to get up early! well, 8 isn't early compared to 6:30 at mexico! Oh, I had a dream that we were all there again, in the soccer field working, and I asked Monte what I could do! =)
I will try and put a couple pics on sometime! =)

Oh yah, Karis comes tomorrow, its so sad that we just missed each other......hmmmm.......!!!!
Well, I will post maybe on Thurs or Friday! Love you all! =)

Bye.........

Well, it is WAY past my bed time, cause I have been working on some pages for my grandparents book! Everyone is doing a couple pages with pictures and memories, and they will put them all together, for their anniversary! And I made 5 pages and I am so tired! But I thought I would put this picture on!! We are leaving the house at 9am, and will head to the airport! We are going to fly to Wisconsin and be there a couple days, then drive with my sister and brother-in-law to Montana!! It should be a lot of fun! And I will still most likely, will be posting pictures and things that I have been up to while I am away! Ok, I can't type.....I keep messing up! lol!! So I will just stop!! =)

I will talk to you all later! =)

Hannah and I together for the last time *sniff* at youth group! What a sad moment! =..( But we decided to make sure we get together often, and not just see each other on Sundays!=)

Slurpee Day!!!

Happy Birthday 7-11!!! yay!!!

Kelly, Jessie, and I!!!

I think this is one of our first slurpee stops!!!

Ok, well, this was actually July 11th, but I just got the time on!!! Alright, so this was my first experience slurpee hopping!!!! It was amazing! Ok, so all you up north, that does not know what in the world I am talking about.....July 11th(7/11) is 7-11s birthday, and they give free 7.11 ounces of slurpee free!!! So, what they do here, is they hit all the 7-11 stores!! And this year, they went for 11 Slurpee's! So, we would hit the first one, and then bring it along in the car, and we would have to finish that one, before we got to the next store! lol!!! We got some brain freeze and got a little sick, but it was so much fun!

I drank all 11 Slurpee's, we figured out, that we each drank 5 1/4 pounds of slurpee.....over a half a gallon! (is that right Jessie?) Yah, I was sick, but I decided to make the most of my first slurpee hopping day! =)

Thanks Haylee for letting me stay with you guys all day, even though I was out of it and full of slurpees!!! And thanks Jessie for the pictures!!! I will also be putting a picture of the pyramid of all our slurpee cups! =)
