An Update on my Busy Life:-)

It has been a while since I last posted. I had a great New Year. Several of our friends came over and we played games and ate ALOT of food until midnight. At midnight we did poppers and sparklers.

I have had a busy school year. I don't have a lot of free time but when I do have it I love to read and watch "Walker Texas Ranger":-) I am really enjoying my classes and my other subjects that I do at home.

Thursday, I got my hair cut. I was so ready to have it cut. I donated my hair to Locks of Love. This is my 5th time donating my hair. I really enjoy seeing how long it takes for me to grow my hair 11 inches. I like the idea that my hair is going to help a child who has no hair feel like they are normal and that they won't stand out amoung a group of people.

The Campbells brought their new baby home from Ethiopia this month. He is SO cute:-)

We went skiing a few weeks ago and we all enjoyed it. It was really nice to be able to spend almost a week with my dad before he really got into the "Tax Season Mood":-)
We also went tubing while we were there. I almost enjoyed that more than the skiing. We all had very sore shins and arms by the time we left at the end of the week:-)

My family throughly enjoyed the first snow of 2009. We played in it almost all day and then came in for some hot chocolate (and still managed to get our school and chores done) I had a cold at the beginning of that week so since I went out and played in the snow I could barely talk the next day:-) I just couldn't resist not playing in the snow. That was the most snow that I had seen in like 3 years:-)

I am still in a Homeschool Girls Choir. I am really enjoying it. I have loved to sing ever since I can remember. I used to sing more than I talked and Alexa is following in my footsteps:-) We just started our spring semester and we have some really neat songs. I have a video of one of our Christmas Songs that I may post up here soon.

The Super Bowl is tomorrow. My dad and my brothers have a party every year and all of their friends come over and they yell at the TV and eat "manly" food:-) I enjoy watching them:-) Last year my mom, Mrs. Tracy, Leigh and I all went to see the movie "27 Dresses". It was ok. So this year we are going to go out to eat and we are going to see another movie. I am not sure which one we are going to see.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my busy life and I will post pictures of my new hair-do and are ski trip.
