Several new things...

So, besides this referral, (I'm not allowed to give any details at the moment), we have had several new things happen since last I wrote.

1st. On my way home from spending time with friends, my car began to smoke through the exhaust pipe in the back. Looking behind me, and seeing nothing because of the white smoke, I pulled to the side and called Dad who came and drove my van home. After calling Grandpa, Dad concluded that my van had a problem that seems to be common with Montanas. Unfortunately, this is not a cheap problem to fix, so I am hoping Dad will be able to fix the problem himself with less money! So right now I am carless and driving our family van.

2nd. Lucas and my basketball practices have begun. Luke has one in fact in a couple minutes.

3rd. (And this is funny.) Tuesday Dad and Mom took the little ones shopping in our red car. When they got back, Dad took out their carseats to move them back in the van. As he was moving Ethan's, something jumped out! Our cat, C.D., grabbed it. It was a mouse. A VERY large mouse!  Obviously Dad was freaked out, and Mom was grossed out. Apparently this mouse got in the seat when it was in the garage. Then it took a ride in the car. (Dad even stuck his hand through the back to pull the seatbelt soon. He could've touched the mouse! Eeeew!!) Ethan even sat on it. (Have I grossed you out yet)? So, obviously we have been cleaning carseats for the first time in years. Mom says there was a lot of food in there for him to munch on.

There might be more news I can't think of, but I will try to share later.

PSSST

Psst, Dad just bought me a cell phone. Like he came home just now with it. Oh yeah!


Psst, I got my "REAL" license in the mail Tuesday. Oh yeah!


Psst, I was able to smile for the picture so my picture looks better than my passport's! Oh yeah!

Get ready for the shock!

Once upon a time

My hair a few weeks ago. Click on this picture to see a larger pic.

My hair shortly after it was cut. The stylist straightened it. My hair is definitly more "poofy" and wavy now.

I'm so excited

Mom put my blog on an adoption thingerabob. So people can get to my adoption blog. Well, today I received my first reader that I don't know!!! NOW I FEEL A LOT OF PRESSURE! I had better write well! She even left a comment. Check it out!!

Now I must write another post!

KAT

KAT went really well today. Lucas and I both like our classes. Lucas has a really large class. Mine consists of myself and three boys. Oh boy.

Passed

Today I took my Driver's Test. The driving part in the parking lot, well, I was expecting her to say I had failed. I did a really terrible job parallel parking. I ran over a cone. But there wasn't much I could do.

Then I went on the road. That went better. There were a couple things that happened.

But I passed. Hooray!! I went to Sec. of State and got my level 2 license. Yaay!!

I now leave very soon to pick up Emily Bos by myself and take us to practice.

What's up

So I have a new car. Our old van. Which means we need a new van, right?? We got one!!! It's white with power doors. (They move by themselves.) The highlight for the kids is the DVD player perfect for the occasional long ride. The highlight for Mom is the backing up sensor thingy. (It has lights that come on to show whether to back up farther and to tell you if there is anything behind you. Very cool!) Dad likes the hitching thing. Now we can use a trailer, not the topper holder thing on top. Ughh. I hate that thing.

We just went to Kentucky, (12 hours altogether, and, yes, we had the van by then. Oh my goodness it was so nice!!), for the wedding of an old babysitter. SHE WAS GORGEOUS!!!! Her husband seems like a very nice man. We stayed at a hotel, but the pool had just been closed!!! So no swimming. That stunk.

KAT starts tomorrow. Lucas is taking Algebra 1 and I am taking Algebra 2. Yuck. Then I am taking my road test, and if all goes well, I'll get my license, (finally!) tomorrow. Then I am going to drive my friend, Emily, and I to open gym.

I am going to the Solomons tomorrow night. I might stop at Hobby Lobby right before.

Thursday we have piano, (which, by the way, Ethan watches my hands and then sounds it out, and is now playing MY piano songs). Then I am leaving piano early for Battle of the Books. I am going to be so busy. But I love being busy. And hopefully I'll be DRIVING!! Yaaay!!

We are continuing with school. Oh boy.

Have a great week.

The Big Present

I only post this picture to show something in the background. MY NEW CAR!

MY KEYCHAIN

Yes you're seeing right!!! KEYS!

My mouse on my keychain talks. It is really funny. My 2 year old friend Josiah, loves the mouse. Now, if you are going to see me lately, like you Lindsey, or you think I would rather show you myself, like you Rachel, do not even think about playing the video! I beg of you! :)

Wait for me!!!

What's goin on around here

We are in the middle of painting our fence. Lucas and I are trying to get it done, but since it might rain tomorrow, we didn't paint today! Whew!! Yesterday we painted basically all day and then went to the Bos's for basketball. MY LEGS HURT SO BADLY TODAY! I AM HAVING TROUBLE WALKING!

I am going to the Solomons soon! Yaay! The twins are getting so old! They are 9? months already. I can not believe it!

I hope to write longer soon.
