river on video!

so we had my mom's surprise party this past saturday! it was fun =] mike took her out of the house and my aunt came over and my brother and rachel and my grandma and pa and we all helped get everything ready. we took the little couch out of the living room and pushed the big couch up against the glass stuff and we decorated the living room like Viva Las Vegas! me and my brother dressed up and dealt (i did Black Jack and he did Texas Hold'em). and my uncle jake and aunt denise were there too. and my uncle john dressed up as elvis and sang 4 songs. and yea it was neat. i think she had a good time. and she got some cool stuff for presents =] rachel gave her pictures of all her kids. she took the 5 of us to get our pictures taken at walmart a few weeks ago and they turned out pretty cool! i like them =] and so did my mom lol. so yea, i hope she had a good birthday =] i've got a little bag of stuff to keep from the party, like the invitation and stuff =]

so there's this song called Come Home by OneRepublic, and i really love that song! every time i listen to it, i think of this one slash story i read. the story had the song in it ,that's actually where i first "heard" the song. so i decided to look up the real thing and i thought it was really cool so i bought it =] and i love it now lol. if you wanna read the story ( cuz its really good and you should!) here's the link: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2534189/1/Swing_Sets

and then Kevin listens to this one band, We the Kings, and he listens to the song Check Yes Juliet alot, and so i thought i'd check it out and see what it was. well guess what? its a GOOD song! like chea...it's been stuck in my head all day lol

and guess what? i'm OFFICIALLY in 12th grade!! well sorta. when we go back to school i will be. i just finished the last day of 11th grade so yea =] exciting, yet scary. i'm not sure what i want to do yet and i think i really should know by now. i don't even know if i want to go to college, which means i know nothing about college. so yea...we'll see how well that goes

my mom got a dog on friday. his name is sammy and he is like pitch black. ive been trying to take a picture of him but you can never see his face. so i tried to do a video but he was just sitting there chewing on his rawhide so i didn't keep it. but when i get something, i'll post it so yall can see him. i've been taking him for small walks each day, just around the block. since he's so little i dont know how far he can go. he starts to pant pretty quick so we're not gone too long. but in the few days that we've been going he's learned that he needs to stay to the right of me. and i'm trying to teach him to sit. it's going ok i guess lol

kevin came over yesterday and today after school, and both times he stayed for about an hour =] that makes me happy cuz i love bein with him. he's so great =] i love him lol hes cwazy and hes also a chickenholic! lol

but anyways, lol....not much else has been going on. mea nd miss julie are supposed to go get ice cream later tonight and just talk and hang out and it should be fun =]

but thats it, lol, so later
