Jan. 3, 2009 - 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Okay Mari, this is the part when we start to sing U2's "New Years Day". :P  LOL  Well, I hope it was a blast, everybody.  We spent it with my dad's parents and his youngest sister,  Sarah.  We went ice skating together, hung out, watched movies... etc ;) 

AND, we celebrated Sarah's birthday.  I would post the b-day pictures, but we haven't uploaded the pictures on the computer yet.

But here's a picture of her:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this one of her I'm posting because it looks SO COOL...

And here is a pic of Papa and the gran-bird ;)

Well, that's all for now.

Dec. 26, 2008 - Merry Christmas!

When we woke up on Christmas morning, we ran upstairs to find our stockings which were hidden.  Mine was hiding behind the piano this year. ;)

I got a pair of ice skates--my first pair!-- two pairs of toe-socks, a radio player, a henna tatoo kit, the first two High School Musicals, a really cool shirt (that had holes for the thumbs :), a scarf and hat, a pair of gloves, a beach comforter blanket with pillow cases, etc.; a clock, and Prince Caspian  the movie for all of the kids! *whew* not to mention loads of candy :P YUM...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a few other pictures.  Percy is wearing a something I got for all the boys: a 'chain' that has a big thing on the end that says "BLINGBLING". LOL It was fun.  And the top left corner of the collage is us at the table doing our HSM poses LOL : D

We are having our relatives over this weekend.  I'll post on it when I can...

Dec. 23, 2008 - hohoho

Sorry for the random title. :)  Well, I have nothing really to update about, considering that I need the pictures that are on the camera still. *sigh*  Ah... so.  You people will just have to suffer through this dull update, after all, like I said, it is more fun with pictures.

Yesterday, Dad had to have his comercial Christmas, so we went to the mall to get our picture with Santa Claus.  I will post the picture when I can. 

And yesterday, Percy and I got our gloves for Krav Maga.  Krav is an Israeli self-defense thing.  It's pretty cool; I can get my dad back if he puts me in a head-lock--and he did.  And... it worked!  It was pretty cool :)

Well, that's all for now folks ;)

Fear me.... MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
And this is me baking today... observe the patches of white powder all over me.  I mixed the stuff for sugar cookies and ginger men.  The ginger stuff was disgusting... especially the beginning when there was just crisco and molasses. ew....

Dec. 13, 2008 - 'tis the season to stand your legs off

AAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!  I feel sososososo TIRED! AND I have a good excuse to feel so, so hear me out. ;)

Yesterday evening, we went to work at an Operation Christmas Child warehouse.  For those who don't know, Operation Christmas Child is a cooperation that gathers filled shoe boxes to send to needy kids across the world.  The shoe boxes are usually filled with candy, toothpaste, and toys.  It was our job to go through the shoe boxes take and take out any American money, take out any parishable items or any indecent toys, and then tape the boxes up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we all are in the car on the way to Denver.

Dec. 9, 2008 - Our New Baby!

We have a new baby in the family! I'm sorry I didn't tell any of ya'll sooner that he was coming ;)

Isn't he cute??? :P  It was all the boys' new lovebird named Pippin!  And he's still a baby!  Absolutely adorable when he plays in his bath and on his little gym--and not when he's biting.  Yep, we are still struggling to train the little stinker.  He's a squeaky fella.  You can click on the pictures to see better.

Well, before we went to the aviary (is that how you spell it???), we went to the Denver Art Museum.  SO COOL... even though we couldn't see the whole thing, it was pretty cool.  Once again, you can click the pic if you wanna see stuff up close.

It was SO COOL to see real-live paintings :P from Degas, Monet, and Picasso.

Well, that's all for now.  Hope ya'll enjoyed the real update. ;)

Dec. 5, 2008 - It's almost Christmas.... MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while ;)  How do you all like my template? It was my first time experimenting with it.  It's a little bleak, but I will try to do a fancier one next year.

I thought I could show you some pictures from youth group since my mind has gone blank :P

 

 

(left to right) Katie, Grace, me ;) Hannah, Olivia, Abby, Sarah, Anna, and Elaine.

 

 

Julie and Jessamine weren't in that one, so I have a picture from the Reformation party.  Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the last one, Claire.

This is one, very lame update.  The pictures aren't even that recent.  Oh well... What's everybody doin' for christmas???

<3

Katy

PS I decided to post some Robin Hood icons, because that is one of the best Disney movies of all time ;)  "Ode-alolly!" (if that is how you spell it)

Sep. 15, 2008 - Exploding Twizzlers

hsm.jpg picture by aryathe12th

Okay, the title has nothing to do with this entry; it's just a bit of something that Grace will appreciate. ;) LOL

*whew* Busy weekend this past week. The co-op (is that how you put it?) that I do volleyball with had a social get-together thing with the teens. We did ultimate frisbee with them and volleyball. There was only one guy that I knew there and almost mistook his identical twin for him (I had no clue he had a twin LOL). But it was fun. Sorry, no pics, but maybe next time. ;)

They same day, (but later that evening), Percy and I went to a friends house for a teen game night which was an absolute blast!!! In fact, this is the second time we've done it, so I hope it gets regular. (cheezy grin :)

We checked out the High School Musical movie from the library a few days ago. I've seen it once and thought my brother John might like it (he loves Disney Channel stuff). So, one evening, Randy, John, and I watched it. Of course, they thought some parts had some sissy-stuff in it, but they liked it.

I will update again, don't worry. ;)

Sep. 6, 2008 - "Let us die young, or let us live forever; We don't have the power, but we never say never"- 'Forever' by Alphaville

That song is so stupid!!! LOL Percy and I love it. ;)

Well, we've been busy. School is busy. But everyone is updating on school, so I'll talk about something else. (lol)

I've been awarded by Daydreamer  the "Awesome blogger Award" which I gave her (you are so sweet :) and the Contagious blogger award (that is so sweet of you!!!)

I award this to POTCgirl, Dracula95, throughtheblack, IRONMAN, and back to Daydreamer and Mari . :)

And I award this one to Mari, Daydreamer (lol), IRONMAN, onedaymore, christianmusician1, and ChristineDaae.

Oh, and speaking of contagious things (though, what I am about to talk about, is nothing contagious ;) I remembered a funny story. Years ago, Mom and I went to Georgia for a women's conference with our church. Mom and I stayed at Mari's house (they came with us). During that time, one day, Mommy Rose, Mari, me and Mom, went to the CNN building to grab a bite to eat (lol). There was a huge TV that had CNN on (duh). It said that the floods that carried into the US spinach fields and poisoned them all somehow. Mommy Rose got salad while we were out, but  when she heard that, she double checked her bag to see if there was no spinach in there; just in case. ;) I told Mari that it would be funny if they made a Veggie Tales movie with some lepers in it. They would be played by spinach and would run around saying, "Unclean! Unclean!" LOL Mari couldn't stop laughing for a while!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a picture of us watching a water fountain in Atlanta during a break in the conference. For you Mari... I miss you. <3

Okay, now, lets cheer up a bit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John, Dad, Randy, and me being ridiculous wearing our spoons after dinner! LOL
