An Update on My Vacation

Ok, so here is what's going on. In my last post, I told y'all that I am in Tennesee on vacation with my family. So, here is an update.

Today, I went out to eat with my cousins. We had a great time. We did that yesterday for lunch and dinner too. I am getting sick of eating out.

My cousins have left. I am pretty bummed about that. Right before they left, the boys were playing some army game on an Xbox 360. I hate it when I am trying to be peaceful, and I hear continuous shooting. Very annoying, very annoying.

I really slept in today. I woke up at around 9:00 am, which would be about 10:00 at home. Some people might think, "Oh, that isn't 'sleeping in', that's nothin'." For me though, that is a huge amount of sleep. I even missed the hotel breakfast, too! I usually wake up at six.

I woke up with a headache this morning. I hope I'm not coming down with something. It is really dry in Tennesee, so my nose is really stuffy and my lips are chapped. Not complaining, or anything. :)

Our flight is leaving tommorow morning (Wednesday). I never like airplane security. Of course I don't want to be blown up by some random bomb, but I still don't have to like it!

A Farewell to a Most Talented Musician

This is a post off of my other blog. My friend wrote it. I am Reeses and she is CoCo.

As you know me (CoCo) and Reeses, love Skillet. And, as you know, we like them just the way they are (or used to be).But a thing that was totally unexpected happened a little while ago.

Skillet's drummer (the blond in the picture) is leaving!!!!! Trust me, when I heard this I couldn't believe it. Reeses almost cried!

She is one of the best drummers I have ever listened to. Lately, since I heard about the drummer (Lori Peters) leaving, I have not been able to stop listening to Skillet.

If you just listen to the drums in certain songs, you will hear how good she is.

The drummer that will be taking her place is named Jen Ledger. She is eighteen and we are hoping that she is just as good as Lori, and that we will not be disappointed. -CoCo

My Friend's Blog

This is the link to my friend, Padfoot's, blog. She'd certainly love it if you would go on there, comment, and vote on the poll up on her site.

She's a really great friend, and I think she'll be happy to see you've commented!

My Vacation

I had an awesome vacation in Illinois where most of my family lives. We spent one week there. It was totally not enough time to spend with all my friends and family.

When I was at one set of Grandparents' house, my cousins, and my brother played about four games of croquet per day. I think I only played one game. Maybe two.

My cousin (pictured) makes many versions of popular games. He renames them Extreme____. He made some version of Croquet called- you guessed it- Extreme Croquet. It involved hitting the ball across a small road. Wow.

I Know It's Super Late, But I Am Still Celebrating In My Mind About This!

So I watched the Super Bowl this year (early this year, I know, I know) and I was just randomly rooting for the colts because I like the name and uniforms better than the Bears' uniforms.

I was at a Super Bowl party with some friends and we were bored so we decided to make cheers for the teams that we were rooting for. Luckily, we were split up evenly. It was really fun to practice and show each other what we came up with.

Whenever the Colts scored a touchdown, me and my friend neighed like horses as loud as we could! The girls rooting for the Bears roared when their team scored.

I had a blast. I am so glad that the Colts won! It is the first time that I have ever rooted for a team in a major competition that won.

The preceding year, I had been rooting for the Seahawks over the Steelers and they didn't win. I had some neighbors that put up a big banner on their balcony that said, "STEELERS!!!" That made me feel good. :) Tryin' to rub it in. Well, at least this year the Colts won!!!

For Fathers' Day

Time for an early Fathers' Day post! Last time for Mothers' Day it was late, but now? No way!

Just to say thank you to the dads... Thank you so much. You do not know how much we love you.

That is why I chose this picture. It says to me that the love I have for my own dad is bigger than the ocean. Thank you so much, again dads! We love you!

For Mothers' Day

Thank you Moms! I am so glad I have one of you! Actually, I wouldn't exist without a Mom so I guess I am really thankful that I have one. I did not want to miss a chance to write about it , even if it was a little late. Thanks!

This is My Compassion Child

This is Edita Muthoni Nyaga. My family sponsors her, but she writes letters to me. I try to remember to send her letters too.

My dad has gone to Kenya and met her. I wish I could have too. She sends me pictures along with her letters. I love it.

If I remember to write to her, I also draw for her. I want to meet her someday.
