Happy new year! Hope 2008 was a good year for you and may 2009 be even better!

Thought this was kinda interesting:

Just wanna wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! Hope you have a good one!

So yesterday I got my bottom braces off!!! :) :) :) :)

But now I have to wear a retainer which I don't really care for. :( :( I can't wait til i get the top ones off!!!!

Here's a nice and simple calculator I made:

Check it out! Use it all you want! I know it may seem simple but I like it cuz I made it! :)

I've been sooooooo busy lately with school, family, church stuff... etc, that I've neglected my BLOG!!!!! :( Boy oh boy i gotta get some pics or movies or something on here soon or no one will ever come on here again! :O

A really awesome thing (i think!) to do this holiday is turn your family into a bunch of elves! Http://elfyourself.com. It's really cool! Send me an email with your creation, i'd love to see it!

Well i gotta make this quick while i'm in a hotspot but we're in MA again visiting gramps. So...was a really REALLY long drive today...but we're finally here (we've been here for maybe an hour).. more later!

So today I earned an extra hour cuz we set our clocks back for DST. Kinda nice to earn an extra hour. :)

Overnight we got a light dusting of snow! Just shows that winter's on the way!

Here's our sweeet little doggy.

Pretty cool.

Yeah i know this was a few months ago but, anyway.

Here i am:

Well we've now cut our ties with dialup and moved to Cable broadband. I couldn't be more happy!!!!!!!! Here's my speedtest.net results:

so today our phones weren't working for half the day. We had a windy night and must be something disturbed the phone system. So..they just started working a few minutes ago and I can finally get online! :)

So...today is one of those dreary ugly rainy dank days. And of course it's my day to walk the dog. :( So hopefully it will clear up for a while.

Sorry i haven't posted much on here lately...ive been so busy with school and everything. I will try to post more often.

Well, it's that time again. :( school... We're starting a week early so we can get out earlier at the end of the year. I'll say i'm not looking forward to those long winter months with school!!!!!!

I wish I could have summer all over again!!!

Well on the way home from Massachusetts we stopped at a place where they have an alpine slide (you sit on a cart thing and ride down a mountain on a track). I went on the alpine slide once, and another ride they had, and a senic tour up the mountain and down on a lift.

It was really fun!!!!!! But we didn't get to use our last two tickets cuz it started raining! :( :(

Well our family is out in Massachusetts visiting my grandpa. We'll be leaving to come home on Sunday. Boy, it's such a LONG drive!!!

Well my arm is finally feeling a lot better! I've been soaking it quite a bit in our pool, so that's probably helped.

I don't know why the summer has to fly by so fast!!! Before I know it i'll be starting school again. :( And it will be getting colder. ugh

Well, the post below wasn't the whole story. When I made the post below i was in town at our library. When we got home we received a message saying that there had been a change in my x-rays. So my mom called them and they said they had found a subtle fracture somewhere (they told where but I can't remember the right terms). So we ended up going to the orthopedics place for them to look at it. Luckily, they just said to see how it was in a week and if it was fine then good, if not come in again.

So, I'm very thankful that I don't have to have a cast!!!! :)

2 days ago I was coming in our door and fell and really bent my wrist. At first I didn't know if I had broken it or what. We almost ended up going to the ER. But we decided to wait and see what happened. The next day it was still hurting some so we went to the ER (that's the only way to get it dealt with :|). Luckily everything was good, i hadn't broken anything. Just sprained/tendinitis. I'm so glad that I didn't have to have it in a cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I'm at campmeeting now!!  We had the book sale earlier... 

I brought my camera but i haven't taken any pictures!

We have this fox family that lives across the street from us. Here are some pictures I took today (sorry they're not good quality!):

Here's a picture of Zack!

Well, here it is, the first day of spring! And it was snowing earlier at our house! I hope it gets warm soon...

...because then it will be SUMMER!

These are some pictures taken on March 3rd.  That day the snow had melted and we had a literal river running down our field (as you can see in the pics).  Now we have snow again.

Last night our church had a YMCA Night. We swam for a long time in their pool and ate pizza and other [unhealthy] stuff. I had a really good time.

After we ate we played kick-ball for a few minutes. Then a group of us kids played hide-n-seek. We got home at 10:something.

We see a Pileated Woodpecker come to our birdfeeder once in a while. Here are some pictures I took:

Sorry i haven't posted in sooo long. :| Just busy and don't have lots to say. I'll try to post more soon!

This evening a group from our church went snow tubing! IT WAS AWESOME!!! so cool...hopefully i can go again soon. Now i'm over at my cousins house.

Ugh...i HATE (HATE) dialup! It is so dreadfully slow.

It takes forever just to load Gmail. I finally gave up. After quite a while of waiting for it to load as i did other stuff i just CLICKED OFF! Talk about...slowness. it's a disgrace... i mean, seriously. if an ISP is so slow that it can't even load an email inbox than it's hardly worth having.

Anyways I've rambled enough! So long!

Here is a video i took yesterday. Just outside our house.

And a picture:

Here are three pictures of Zack that I took today.

Well, we're done with school for the day! :)

Oh, and here's a cool car! (it's actually my fav!)

Yes! No school today. I'll let you guess what holiday it is. It's so nice to think i have the whole day ahead of me and no school to boot!

Just want to let everyone know that I'm still here! Sorry i haven't gotten around to posting at all lately. Expect more things from me soon!

Happy New Year!!  2008 is here.  2007 is gone.
