Update... finally!

I'm sorry for not giving a decent update the other day! I'm not even going to try and make excuses though. (I probably could think up a lot of them! haha) So, our dogs are doing pretty good now. They are losing weight fast! I'm glad about that... I don't really like fat dogs. :) Did I say that their names are Coco and Beauty? Well, I just did. :P I'm post pics really soon. I'll post some of when we were in the Cayman Islands too. So you can have that to look forward to! So, back to the dogs... Beauty will fetch and bring it (it meaning the stick, ball, or whatever you throw) back to you, which is REALLY fun. Our other lab wouldn't do it. Coco is a bit more calm in some ways. (If you couldn't tell by their names, Coco is a brown lab and Beauty is a black one.) That's pretty much all I have to say on the girls!

Now for some about Sophia!!! She is walking now! And only 9 months old! (We (me and my siblings) pushed it a wee bit...) So, she was about 8 1/2 months old when she took her first step. Now she doesn't even crawl hardly at all. It is SO sweet to watch her. She is interested in everything, and anything dangerous. As I was typing, (I'm sitting on my bed) she fell off of the bed! This bed is low so she wasn't hurt too bad, don't worry. I'm am really going to have to put some pictures of her up. I haven't figured out how to put video's from the video camera onto photobucket yet... I'll learn soon though!! Anyway, that's the latest and greatest on the sweetest. ;)

My birthday is in January and I'll finally be 15!!!! I'm going to beg mom and dad to let me get my permit. lol Here in TX you can legally drive when you are 15 1/2. (I'm almost positive on that) I saw some pictures of when I was like 9 the other day... some of them remind me of things that I still remember like it was yesterday. It is amazing how time flies! ...and scary... Mostly when you think deeply on how little time we are given on this earth, and one of our missions in this short time is to teach others the Gospel, and to bring others to Christ. The preacher where we worship had a great lesson Sunday morning (we didn't go to worship Sunday night, I'll tell you about that in a minute.) that really got me thinking about things that I haven't done, have done, and need to do.
Think about it.

OK I told you why we didn't go to Worship Sunday evening... We had company Saturday night, the Slawsons. Some friends of ours... we've known them for like, ever. lol Their dad knew my dad when he was in high-school. So, anyway... We brooded about going out to eat or going home for lunch on Sunday. It ended up we decided to go home and grill hamburgers. Me, all of my sisters (except Sophie) went with Miss Lara to Wal-mart. Daniel and Jaydon went with mom and dad. Well, after we went to the store and got home, we didn't see the suburban and thought we had beat them home. Well, we went inside and lo and behold, there was water sitting in the kitchen and dining room like 4 inches deep! (You won't be able to understand why it wasn't everywhere else... there's like this step thing that... AH! I can't explain it! Ask mom.) Anyhow, Daniel and jaydon were still in their church clothes, wading in water and bailing it out of the windows and doors. Kayla hitched up her skirt, found a trash can and started helping. I ran upstairs and changed in to jeans first. (hehe) Then I ran back downstairs and started doing what I could to remove the water. (My back is killing me now from spending like an hour bailing water. lolz) Well, it turns out, the water filter in the refrigerator cracked a leaked every where! Good thing we didn't go out to eat! So, now there are 10 fans and 2 dehumidifiers running. (IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Later everyone!

Dogs!!!

Guess what?! We just got two Labrador Retrievers! One is black and one is brown. Their names are Coco and Beauty. Can you guess which one is which?

They were someone's dogs before us though so they already have names. They're about 3 years old and leash trained. They are a bit overweight because at the house they used to live in, they didn't have much room to run around. They will here though!!

My chicken pox are starting to scab over so that's good. I still feel pretty rotten though. :)

later people!

    Lol yes I did dare to ask you that question. I've never heard of it till Jon told me. None of my rl friends play it so I didn't know. I would LOVE to join you guys...but public schools give you SO much homework every day. Especially mines cuz it's one of the best in the region :P Otherwise, I'd join you for sure
