Cookie Party!

Tonight, Abby and my grandma made us all cookies and tea or apple cider. It was amazing to just relax for the weekend and eat cookies! I am so sorry I have not posted in forever but I will soon try to make it a part of my super busy weekly schedule! ♥I love you all out there! ♥

Bubble World

It all started when to little kids met the best baby sitter ever! When me and my brother where little we had an awesome baby sitter who one night created a memory we would not forget. She blew so many bubbles that all of them would just keep coming on and on. Me and Stephen had so much fun. Tonight, I kinda, recreated that experience with my little sister Abby. I doubt it was as fun as when it was just me my brother and a whole lot of bubbles, but it was still exciting to see the big bubbles. I would just like to say thank you to our baby sitter for creating one of the best days in my childhood. There is almost nothing like running through your yard chasing after bubbles barefoot without a care in the world!

A Wonderful Truth

This post is dedicated to my loving and amazing grandpa, R. Garry Bradley. On Sunday July 31 he passed away. He was hit by a truck when he was out jogging. He was only 62 and his death was so sudden and unexpected which has made it all the more hard to grasp his passing. He will be missed tremendously but we will always be reminded that we have an amazing and a wonderful truth that is one day again we will see him in heaven. I have wondered many times this past week what he will look like. Since in heaven we will he perfect bodies he will no longer have glasses or white hair, he will not look older or need to rely on any of the things we all need on this earth. It will be very interesting to see him with a perfect body. I hope to post more and add some pictures in a couple days. We will be flying back tomorrow. I ask for prayers from all for safe travels and that everyone who was effected by this tragedy will remain in God all ways.

My Week at Camp

This week was so much fun! I went to YAA (Yellowstone Alliance Adventures)camp from Sunday afternoon till yesterday afternoon. Sorry i yet again don't have any pictures. I realize it has been a while since i have posted but i hope to post a lot more often!
i left for camp on Sunday at two forty-five. when i got there i waited in line for a couple minutes then got registered. After i got to my cabin i found where i wanted to sleep and saved a spot for my friend. the whole week was thrilling! we did a variety f stuff from the water pit at activity time to a game of mission impossible at 11 o clock at night! It was an amazing week full of fun and excitement. I am happy to See my family again but miss camp a whole lot! If you want to know more about any of the things I did you can just leave a comment about what you want to know! Oh and by the way, I went paintballing for my first time! Although i got a welt on my arm it was still so much fun!

Two Weeks of Fun!!

Yay I'm so excited for my cousin Natalie to come visit. She is arriving next Sunday late at night. Once she gets here we are going to have 2 whole weeks together! She will be able to come to school with me and hangout with me and my friends on the weekends. I thought i would start a count down till her arrival and will try to keep you all posted while she is here. Sorry if I cant but things will be very busy!! 6 days left.

The Wedding!

Hey everyone, it was such a blast at the wedding! I had an amazing time. Sorry this post was not done sooner. I was really excited to see everyone that when it happened it flew by. When we were flying back I thought we should still be at the hotel or doing something with our family. It is extremely more difficult to say goodbye when you don't know when you are going to see everyone again! I miss you all already! I cant wait to see grandma and grandpa in the summer and hopefully along with the newly weds Uncle Ben and Aunt Brenda. I am also very, very ,very excited for Natalie to come visit us in a couple of weeks! I love you all so much and I am sad to still not be with you guys. I hope to see you all shortly! I ♥ U!!!!

Billings

Last Sunday we left for Billings Montana. It was about a 2 hour drive and went a lot faster then we expected. We left at about noon after grabbing a quick lunch from McDonald's. We had each packed a swimsuit, pj's, and a pair of clothes for the next day. When we arrived at the hotel we went to the room threw on our swimsuits and headed straight for the reef which is the water park attached to the hotel. We grabbed the free tubes and headed for the water slides. They have two bigger slides. One you can use a tube and the other is to small to have a tube with you. I grabbed a two person tube and handed it to my dad to carry up the long flight of stairs to the top of the slides. Once we arrived at the top there was a some what long line so we uncomfortably stood for about five minuets directly under the air conditioner. As we got in the tubes my dad pushed us forward and we were off. The slide wisted a bit then went into a dark tunnel. We did not see the turn coming up ahead which surprised us very much. We both managed to say a quick "wow, didn't see that coming" and were soon at the end of our ride. We splashed into the three feet deep pool at the end and were hit by a wave. Of coarse the smaller person is supposed to be in the front so I got an unexpected splash directly in the face. I went with my mom the next time because Stephen had gone with Abby and she didn't have someone to go with. It was just as thrilling and again I was in the front and was sadly hit in the face again. Next, we went to the lily pads. They are a series of large plastic lily pads lined up in a row stretching through a pool. There is a long net hanging from the top for you to hold on to. Last time I had been there I was a lot shorter so it was very difficult for me to hold on and walk standing straight up the whole way. I fit Abby very well though so she dint look like a total idiot crossing it. Stephen however was smart and choose not to go again unlike me. After almost slipping and falling off I grabbed a one person tube and went to the wave pool. The waves felt nice and were fun to play in but soon we had to go. Quickly we went under the giant bucket that tips all of its water out about every ten minuets and became completely soaked. After changing we went to a very yummy restaurant called Texas Road House. If you ever go to Billings you most go to Texas Road House. I ordered the mini cheeseburgers but quickly filled myself with their famous rolls. I believe i had two or three and could only manage to eat one of my cheese burgers. After a very filling meal we haded back to the hotel for a good nights sleep. In the morning after a very good breakfast of lots of waffles we went once again to the water park. We enjoyed redoing all the things we did the previous day and soon had to leave. We went to Cabela's next and took a lot longer there then we had expected. After that we went back to the hotel packed up, loaded the van and went to the mall. We enjoyed ourselves there. Abby, Stephen, and my dad all went to some sport stores while my mom and me went to clothing stores. We quickly went to Arby's then headed home. I didn't feel the greatest on the way home and had to move up front but soon we were home again ad I felt much better. We had lots of fun and excitement and we all enjoyed it.I hope we get to sometime do it again.(By the way I think this is the longed=st post I have ever done). See you all soon hope you are having a great day.

Sisters...

.... I love my sister and know she loves me too. Sisters were meant to be together, they were meant to laugh, talk, and play together. Your sisters will always be there for you. Even if you fight sometimes, you always love them and can't ever leave their side. I hope everyone who has a sister has told them at least once how much you love them, and if you haven't I want you to find the time and do that this week. Whether through a letter e-mail, text, or just saying it straight to their face anyway you want to just make sure they know you love them and care for them.
In the corner is a picture of me and my little sister Abby this summer at Coldstone. Sorry if the date is wrong I can't tell but I still can't figure out how to get rid of it. Love you all and I hope you love your sisters to.

Here are some pictures of my Basketball uniform. I am number 25. The picture to the left is the front of my jersey. The back just says number 25. If you flip the uniform inside out it is white on the inside which is our home team side. Blue is for away games.
On the bottom the HCS runs down the left side of our shorts. Hopefully soon I can get some pictures of me in my uniform but for now that is all I could find. I wanted to be number 23 like Micheal Jordan but that jersey was way to big. At least I got a somewhat close number. Anyway the uniform doesn't really matter. I better go. ♥

♥Wow! I'm so sorry its been so long since I posted last but our lives have been super busy. My mom is now the P.E. teacher at school and is so much fun to have in the afternoons. Along with that I started Basketball season the Monday right after Christmas break ended. It has been going pretty good. We end the season in march. Our last game is in the first week of march. We have not won a game yet but you can tell each member of the team has improved in their own way and we have improved altogether as a team. Although we have not won any games we have worked hard and done our best. We had lost our first game by one point. The score was 19 to 18. Our most recent game was on Saturday. We lost by one basket(22 to 20). It was disappointing but we had fun. I will try to get some pictures of me playing posted soon. I Love you all and can't wait to see you in almost 2 months! Wow time has been going by so fast. Can't wait to see you in April for the wedding.♥

Christmas Vacation

This year for Christmas my family and I went to Indiana and Michigan. It was busy but by far allot of fun! I have allot of pictures so I will limit myself to about 10 pictures.
On Thursday the 23rd we had to wake up at 4:00 in the morning! We were all exhausted as we stood in what seemed like a 2 hour security line but was only about 10 15 minuets. We finally got on the plane and took off. We had a delay in Minneapolis but soon were back on another plane and taking off.
When we got of the plane we got a rental car and headed into The Windy City. Our first stop in Chicago was Gino's East Pizza. WOW! Their pizza is amazing. It is so thick and cheesy and full of sauce. All customers are allowed to write their names on some part of the walls and seats so we choose to do so. After we found a spot Stephen, Abby and I all wrote our names then we took off and walked around for a while.
After we walked for about an half hour we stopped at Macy's and saw a gigantic Christmas Tree. We all stopped to take pictures-(Above).
When we were all tired we headed to my Uncles and aunts house. They have 2 boys who are ages 3 and 6. My uncle is my dads Older brother. The next morning some of my dads family came over for breakfast then we headed to Indiana to see my moms side of the family.
We were in Indiana for 2 days then drove 5 hours to Michigan and stayed for 2 days then drove 5 hours back to Indiana. We stayed in Indiana for 4 days and did many different fun things including going to a Notre Dame men's basketball game(above)(Stephen at the game)(mom and dad at the game).
We also went to Chuck 'e' cheeses and met some of my cousins there. Above are some pictures of my siblings and I with my 2 year old cousin on my moms side.
Sorry I could not describe all of the events in full detail but that would have taken forever. However I enjoyed the whole trip and already miss all of you Family. I ♥Love♥ you all and can not wait to see most of you in April.☺
Sorry some of the pictures are side ways and out of order.(My Fault)
