But who knows for how long :)

I am back to the blogging world! These pass 2 months (or so :) Have been great!

Back in November I went down to UK and AL's house for 2 and 1/2 weeks! It was so much fun! We shopped a lot! There was also party's to go to, college classes to attend, guns to be shot, nails and hair appointments to go to, art shows to attend and city's to see!! I had so much fun!!! I have to say that those were the best weeks in November I had this year :) Thanks again for letting me go down there!!!

More to come later....

The past week and a half has gone by so fast!!!

***
***
Last Sunday - Wednesday I was at G-dad's and Gram's. Had lots of fun and got lots of things done.
***

***
Wednesday night I went to Youth. It was lots of fun! Singing, listening to the lesson and then eating pizza as our snack.
***
***
Thursday was co-op ~ like every week we had book club and then I helped out in the capital class, but half way thought that class I had to go buy us something for lunch. We didn't have time that morning to get anything ready. At 12 we left the church and made our way to a place just down the street to take pictures using our pin hole cameras. That night I went to see "Max Payne" at the drive-in with some friends.
***

***
On Friday I went to see "high school musical 3" with some other friends. I didn't really like the movie that much. But everyone else liked it. Homecoming was that night. 2 other friends and I went to watch. We were winning 36 to 6 when we left 5 minutes before the last of quarter. Made our way back to their house. When we were back at her house we made ice cream sundaes and watched the movie "Iron Man"
***

Saturday was spent cleaning a house, then coming home to eat and then out to the barn. The youth were having a fundraiser and to get things paid for this summer (Misson trip, SOAR, and any other things we might do) we have to help with as many fundraisers as we can. This one was a BBQ meal and then there was a Skeet shooting contest. The first round was fun to watch. Then they started the 2nd round, then there was a 3rd and 4th one I think. I left in the middle of the 2nd round.
***
***
Sunday was busy also, started out with Sunday school, then Big Church, then home for lunch, Youth at 5, GMA's at 6 and then there was choir practice. Back at home around 8 or 8:30.
***

***
Then came my days of sleeping in and not having a lot to do and now here I am it Thursday night. Not being able to decided if I should go watch "Gray's anatomy" or "When weather changed history"
***

That's all for now.... Will talk to you all later! Love Shelbi

Let me know which one is your favorite and if you have any other ideas.

Go look!

You should go down to September 29, 2008 and look at the post I put up. No one has left a comment. I wrote it on that day but didn't get around to posting it till last night. Its funny stuff! Cant wait to hear what you think about it!

~Love Shelbi~

Update...

Ok, nothing really big has happened of the last few days. But I am up to giving you an update, if you want to read about it.

Wednesday night I went to youth and had so much fun! We talked, had a lesson and then a snack. Fries with chili and cheese on top. Mrs. H wasn't cooking them as long as I liked them cooked so I asked her if she could fry some for me that were extra done. She said since I just cleaned up the mess that one of the other adults made that she could do that for me.

Thursday was another day at co-op. In book club we only talked about the new book for a few minutes because not everyone had gotten the book yet. During the next class I was suppose to be helping in the states and capital class. But the teacher wasn't there so one of the other mom was going to teach and she didn't need my help so I spent that time talking with gram and then I tried to read a book. But that didn't happen everyone keep coming up to me and talking and then 2 little girls couldn't find there mom so I helped them look for her. Then in the last class we didn't have teacher so we just played games. I did have to give a report about the guy who took that picture of the solider kissing the nurse. You know the famous picture at the end of WWII. After co-op we went and picked up Dad from work.

Friday we spent most of the day at the mall. Mom's phone was broken and the place to get it fixed was right by the mall so I was very happy! I didn't buy anything but I sure wanted a lot! And everything I wanted was on sale! (If you would like to donate money so I can buy those clothes just let me know I can tell you were to send the money :)

Saturday I did some school.


Then came Sunday! That morning mom made breakfast cake and smoothies for breakfast. After dropping Mom and the 2 youngest ones off at Church for Sunday School. We came back home and had our own Sunday School. Then went back for Church. After Church my Sunday School teacher told me that this Saturday the class is going to be painting the room. Finally we have been trying to paint this room ever since that last time we painted it! Came home had lunch then just hung out till 5 pm. Went to youth. At youth we danced, talked sang, got announcements, and then went over to the Church. GMA's consisted of eating a snack, talking and then finishing up a lesson. After GMS's I decided to try out the adult choir. The adults talked more during their choir practice then the youth did. The main people who were talking we're the adults that work with the youth and just 2 hours before were telling us to stop talking during practice.

Today I have done a little school and then went to Target. That is all for today.

~ Things I have forgot to tell Nik and most likely wont have the time to tell her~

* We were at Walmart the other day I was picking out something and this lady behind me asked if I had ever tried this flavor. I said no and then I stared talking to Mom. Then Mom went on to the next row and I was finishing picking out which ones I wanted. When I was done and stared to leave that same lady asked if she could ask me a question and I was like sure. She asked if I wanted a job! Her and her husband have a travel agency and they need people to work. So I was thinking it was going to be like a secretary. She gave me a web site to look up and that's not what it was, they wanted me to pay money to start up my own website. Needless to say I still don't have a job :)

* I might be getting the part of Mary in the "Hanging of the Greens" at Church!

Ok so I think that is it for now....

~Thats What You Get~

Kenna got mad at me one night while we were eating dinner. She got up from the table grab the tea pitcher and was holding it over my head like she was going to pour it on me. I did what I always do, I said "I dare you too!" Well this time she slipped (or so she said) and poured some of it onto my head! Don't worry I got her back!



A water bottle...



The girl....





The water on top of the girls head!

What I need to do...

This week some time I decided I wanted to decorate my room some more. I went to the store and got my supplies.... 4 bottles of paint, 3 canvasses and then 3 papers, and paintbrushes. When the man was ringing up the paint on the computer it popped up a sign that asked if I was 18 or older and I was thinking "Oh great I'm not going to get my paint and then I cant decorate my room and then I cant wake up happy knowing that my room looks cute!" (OK so maybe I wasn't thinking the last thing, I really don't remember :) They man just pushed yes and didn't ask me for an ID or anything. I was like yes! I look like I could be 18 or something! That day I went home a painted my little heart out! And this is what I ended up making....

~Breaking My Hart~

The past two weeks have been crazy busy!!!!

Tuesday (the 18) was co-op day. Nothing really new there. That day was extra long because we had to stay late and help clean up the church. Then that night I was babysitting.

Friday (the 19) I want with my youth group (2 leaders and 7 girls) to "Revolve" It was so much fun! For dinner that night we eat at "El Chicos" My meal cost $9.00 and all I got was water and 6 nachos with fajita chicken on top! At Revolve we listen to Hawk Nelson, Natalie Grant, Group 1 Crew, Krystal Meyers, Chad Eastham and Jenna Lucado. I got home the next night.

That Sunday was the start of the new Sunday school program at Church. And also the start of the WCA Sunday school lessons :) I had 2 in attendants for the new class. They learned about the Armor of God. That night I went to youth and GMA. At youth we are learning the song "The Voice of Truth" By Casting Crowns. They want the group to perform it one day in Church.

On Tuesday the family went to the mall to meet up with G-dad and Gram. Had fun shopping around! That night was NCIS! It was very good! I don't know if I could have kept watching it if they had left the team split apart!

The Thursday came around again. That means another day of co-op. I thought I was doing good in book club only having 5 chapters before I was officially half way thought that book. But not so much all the other girls in the class had already finished the book! I was like "WHAT??? We have only been reading this book for less then 3 weeks and your already done!!!" I was ahead of all the guys in the class and that was good for me! The teacher has decided that we needed to start the next book for the class. When I heard that I was ready to quit the class! I hadn't even finished the last book and she wants us to start the next book!! That is crazy!!! So mom is making me finish the last book "This Present Darkness" and start the next book "The Shack" by Paul Young.
This is going to be a very interesting book!


Friday we went to the zoo with the co-op.

This Sunday we had Sunday school again here at home. Went to big Church. That night was youth, still working on the song. The man that's playing the guitar is playing it with a country sound and if you have ever heard the song (Voice of Truth) you know its not country. Everyone kept messing up! It was funny to sit back and listen to everyone :) Then GMA, there was 2 new girls which was really good!

S-S-D 2009!

I was think about being a senior this year and all the things seniors do at school. I have come up with senior skip day, senior prank, senior trip and graduation.

(Let me know if I left anything out)

~Senior Skip Day 2007 Memories~

*Getting all the junk food we could get our hands on

*Swimming all night long

*Going out to eat

*Shopping

*Getting a hotel room to stay at

Class of 2009 skip day is going to be so much better!

(not that S-S-D 2007 wasn't fun its just that its going to be different :)

We are thinking about having it longer then just one day. What do you think? Do you think we can get away with it? Will we be able to pay for it? Do we need to have a fund raiser? Should we invite the class of 07 to come with us to see how senior skip day should be? Where should we go? Should we make matching shirts for all the seniors and seniors of 07? Do we need to come up with a senior prank??? If so any ideas?

I want to know about how you spent your senior skip day? And if you help out in the senior prank? If you did what was it?

~*~for my sister in crime~*~

Here are the 2 new shirts I got yesterday (really it is 3 new shirts but any who :)

My new hair color.... Do you like it??

While I was inside changing shirt darb wanted to take a picture that looks like me

Last week....

The last week was a crazy, eventful, lazy, relaxing, and enjoyable week.

*There was babysitting jobs that lasted 3 day straight (I did have a 14 hour break in between the 3 days)

* Co-op started last Thursday~~ This year I am taking 2 classes and the helping teach in one class.... at 10:00 I am taking book club we are reading the book "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti. At 11:00 I help in a class were we are learning the states and capitals (don't tell the teacher but I have no clue why I am in this class I don't know anything about the states and their capitals!!) Its a really fun class and I am learning along with the children. Then we break for lunch. After lunch I take photography. All of my friends are in this class and we had a great time!!

*Friday was suppose to be my day at home to work on school all day.... But we had to go buy the book for book club. I also bought another book "THR3E" by Ted Dekker. Some of the teens in book club were talking about how good the book was so I decided to get it and read it. It sounds really good!!!

*Saturday I finished reading a book that I started at the beginning of summer. "House" by Ted Deker and Frank Peretti. I loved the book but I didn't like how it ended! I also finished school for the week on Saturday. The day was ended with mom and I watching "What happens in Vegas"

* Sunday we went to Sunday school then big Church. After big church the youth were suppose to paint the youth room but the decided to change it and we are going to be doing that this Sunday. After church we came home had lunch and then got ready for WAR!!! A MARSHMALLOW WAR!!! :) That night I went to youth at 5 and then GMA's at 6.

*Yesterday I stayed at home and worked on school and last night I colored my hair! It looks really cute on me :)

*Today we went on a field trip. It started out with meeting G-dad and Gram at the mall. Shopping for a little bit and then going to eat. After eating there was more shopping. Starting at Old Navy and getting 2 shirts.

Then I went and got a manicure by my cousin. But shopping was still to be had :) Went back to the mall and did some more shopping! Stayed so long that we had to get a bite to eat and high speed Internet! YES I DID JUST SAY THAT WE NOW HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET!!!!!

*Now I am just sitting around playing on the Internet. Thinking about what I should do next.

*Tomorrow I have homework for co-op and for regular school. I have to read a chapter for book club, take some pictures and do some research for photography. Then I have regular school... Consumer math, Adv. Biology, English, Spanish, Logic, and then I need to work on my reading list.
