Mom & Dad @the Lake 2

Shute Baby Boy!!! Got a horrible sun burn while we were there, he blistered up & they popped & is now hates it when you pick him up!!!

Long time, no post....

2009-08-12T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hey, I have not made a post in forever because we moved, school starts in 7 days, and the internet was down for the longest time! So we moved, but it was not a different time zone, not a different neighborhood, just three doors down. Not even a school change! I am exited and a little nervice for school to start. 1 because it is 6th grade and that is hard and commplicated to me! but also exited because i can meet new people and have a great time through the school year!

After the party...

2009-07-16T16:43:00.000-07:00

This is what we actually ended up doing, well, we did not paint nails, do hair, or any thing of the sort. But we did play lots of way cool games. We did not do anything that is listed above because no one wanted there hair and nails done by 16 year old teenagers. We did play muddier in the dark though. Murder in the dark is a cool game. This is how it goes. There is a bowl with pieces of paper in it. On the pieces of paper there are the words person, murderer, and counter. (more than one person) everyone picks a piece of paper and can not tell anyone who they are, (unless you are the counter the others can know that) then you turn off all of the lights and walk around. The murderer will try to go over to people and hold there hand and run, and that is how they are killed. Mean while the counter is supposed to be in a corner . Once the person that the murder killed has gotten touched they scream loudly but also shortly, and fall to the ground. Everyone turns on the light and the counter has to try to figure out who the murder was. The counter asks questions and the people who are still alive, make stories up and the counter tries to figure it out. You can play over and over again. It was a great time!!!

updates...have...been...slow...

2009-07-14T13:13:00.000-07:00

I have not been updating my blog lately because my dad has been working on the computer and I have not been able to get on.

I the past month I have to-and-from friends houses. I am about to go to yet another sleepover today, except this is a birthday party. I have a Sonic gift card and a way cool cup cake for her! it looks like this... it is a rose of icing, with a soft sugar cookie at the base of the flower, with a surprising vanilla cup cake in the middle.

Anyway at the party we are going to have a host that will tell us what we are going to do. It is her older sister and she is creepy but is alright. At the sleepover we are probably do nails, hair, and things like that. I am not going to sleep first because I will probably wake to a make-up face tooth paste hair and more! I refuse to go to sleep first!!!

Nellie: now that is my new name!

2009-06-01T15:52:00.000-07:00

As I have moved on to middle school, I have chosen a nickname. This nickname is Nellie. Nellie is something my parents made up from, cocinelle. Cocinelle is French for ladybug and that is what they called me before they started to speak French around me and comprehended it. So now I have to change everything that says Rachel on my blog, my other blog, and everything else! I still like the name, though! Call me Nellie!

Life

2009-05-27T18:39:00.000-07:00

Life is too short
to wake up with regrets
love the people who treat you right &
forget the ones who don't!
Belive that everything
happens for a reason.
If you get a chance-take it
if it changes your life-let it
Nobody said life would be easy
they just promised
It would be worth it!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad... twelve years together! Sorry I am a day late I did not have enough time to right the novel I am about to write about the awesome days, months, and years I, and my sisters and brother have had with YOU!

Mom

Ladies first as they say. My mom is the best. She has taught me a lot through my life. She, now and then teaches me how to, cook, clean, and care. She helps me through tough times. I can not tell you how much I appreciate her and the way I love her. Most of the time I am not happy, she tries to ask me what the matter is. She will help me calm down. Even though she is a good mom, we to get in some fights together. But we always get over it. I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Dad

My dad is usually at work. He is the busiest in our house. Still I love Him. He has also taught me a lot in my life span. He taught me ho to mow the grass, swim, and lots more. He is the one I like to go with on "Daddy, daughter dates." My dad is also the techie one. He sells phones so he should know a lot. He has an iPhone and a Blackberry! Sense he sells them, he has to know how to work with them so he gets them both! I LOVE YOU TOO DAD!!!

Fire Ball... Our Band

2009-02-16T10:34:00.000-08:00

Fire Ball

Our Family got a new game called Rock Band 2.
I like to sing, and play the bass guitar.
Samantha likes lead guitar, and the drums.
Charlotte likes to sing, and she likes the drums.
Josephine likes the drums, and when dad helps her with earthier guitar.
Jay likes to push the bass on the drums, it is all he can reach, really!

Charlotte lost her first tooth! (Sort of...)

2009-01-25T16:53:00.000-08:00

Charlotte lost her frist tooth,( by herself). She had sergrie to get the rest out. She had 10 teeth taken out by a denticet because they were rotten. My mom gave her juice when she was little, in a juice cup, (bottle.) She said that it felt weird and and also questioned and said to my mom, " What does it feel like with two front teeth?" I thought that it was cute. GO CHARLOTTE!

Go Mom, or Dad?

Codi was our first dog. He has had some trouble with eating together with our other dog Sheila. Every time he sees her eat, unless he has eaten, he will charge! It hurts Sheila because he sits on her and he is whole lot bigger than she is; she squeals! My dad, when he is home, takes care of it. He is teaching my mom, Samantha and I to do the same. Other than that he is an
AWESOME D-O-G!!!!!

2nd Semester of School

2009-01-10T11:09:00.000-08:00

Hey Hey Hey. It is the 2nd semester of school and the teachers say that there is going to be more fun and a lot of hard work. In Social Studies we have our own "imaginary" family. My name is Sarah, I got to choose the name, I have an 11 year old daughter named Jessie, I got to pick out that name, too. I have a husband named Peter, that name I did not get to pick, He is a lawyer. I am also expecting one in 5 months. In this century we don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl until it comes out. We live in England and are moving to Maryland. Our teacher, Mr. Meharg, told us that was going to take about 2 months !

Our 2 "Snow days" off.

2008-12-20T14:27:00.000-08:00

A couple days ago was a "snow day". We got to stay home for 2 days because the streets were messed up!

Samantha was out side on the "snow" day we had, and found a piece of ice that looked just like Arkansas!

While we were at home we climbed the walls, (literally!)

D.A.R.E.

2008-12-01T15:00:00.000-08:00

D.A.R.E. is a program in our school that teaches us about drugs and the bad things they can do to our lives. It has taught me a lot. We only have it for 1 semester. So, next semester we will have library. We aren't having library this semester. Our D.A.R.E. graduation is tomorrow night! We get a D.A.R.E. T-shirt and I think a certificate. I will tell you the things I learned later but I have to go now.

Three Years Old!

School...

2008-11-27T14:40:00.000-08:00

School is very hard in the 5th grade. In school here, we have to give book reports, and stand up in front of the class and present a lot. Now, I know there are people that like to do that kind of stuff, but I don't. This year is going to be rough.
Another thing I hate about school is the bus. I mean it's fine, but sometimes I'm the last kid on the bus, which, yes is bad! You see, my bus has no seats, because of all the people it picks up! It picks up the High Schoolers, the Jr. High kids, and the Middle Schoolers! Thats a lot! So, if I get on last then, I have to sit in the back with all the mean High School people. There is one family that rides my bus that also goes to my church, their oldest sister is very nice though, she is in High School and tells other High Schoolers to move so that I can sit or that other littler kids can sit too. Thank You Marrisa.

Josephine is the youngest sister. She loves to dance, and does ballet. These pictures are from when she was two or three. She is the cutest of all of the sisters and mostly always gets her way. Though Josephine she is the youngest, I still can't remember when she was born!

Charlotte's Cast

2008-11-23T14:31:00.001-08:00

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte. She was the first person in our family to break something. She broke the record. She was kind of happy that she had broken something.

Here is how the story goes. One day my mom took me to karate. After she took me, she took the other kids to the park. Charlotte went straight to the monkey bars. After a while it was time to go. My mom yells, "Charlotte come on!" Charlotte looks at all of the kids running to the car. She yells back to her mom,"I'm stuck!" Charlotte was in the middle of the monkey bars. The car started. Our mom said to let go, like we always do. So, she lets go and limps back to the car crying. My mom did not say anything on the way home.

That night Charlotte is still saying that her leg hurts and she won't walk on it. She was crawling around the house. My mom thinks that she was just whining about it and she was not really hurt. My dad said that we should take her to the hospital. Two days later, my Mom takes her to the hospital, and it turns out that she broke her leg after all. She broke her tibia and wore a cast for four weeks, and in the middle of summer, too! She was four years old.

O.K. so my family loves the beach, uncommon in Arkansas, right? I mean most people I know have not even left the state because everybody there related to lives here! That is not me, my family lives out side of the state. My family is used to wide open spaces and living on the beach.

Middle School- 5th grade

2008-10-13T17:55:00.000-07:00

One thing I love about a new school and a new school year, is that I get to meet new people and I get to see new places. So far the teachers are some of the best that I have had and I am very excited about a field trip we are going to have in the spring. It is for two days and one night and we go by bus to Alabama. I have made a couple friends during this last nine weeks and hope to make a lot more. This year we have started a new thing - clubs. It is very fun becuase we have something to do in the morning instead of work - I am in the pen pals club, so we write letters to third and fourth graders in California and we will also be writing to soldiers in Iraq. I also just started strings this year and all we get to do so far is pluck the strings. We have to learn how to read music and then how to play the notes on the violin. It's very easy so far, but, I think it'll get harder once we use the bow.
