Humbled

2008-09-29T12:52:00.000-07:00

Wow, the Lord is continuing to put me in my place. I think I constantly need to be reminded that I am just a mere person, and God is GOD! We sang Holy Fire on Thursday and Sunday, I love that song. But again, I didn't really pay attention the lyrics until yesterday during Sunday school. That song had me on my knees.

I was trying to figure out why God was putting ME through situations that weren't making MY life easier. But God completely came through and I have never been so content and satisfied in Him then I am right now. How does He work like that?

"Holy Fire, burn away, my desire for anything that is not of You, but is of me, I want more of You and less of me."

God keeps continuing to show me that it needs to be all about Him and not me and not other people. :)

Faithfulness

2008-09-26T23:19:00.000-07:00

God is faithful. About the best thing to remember. Man, going through tough times with someone is probably one of the hardest things for me to do. So not only did we talk about loving our enemies in my inklings class, but ALSO talked about loving each other as Christians in youth group on Thursday. That night God showed me versus about living in harmony, and loving others, and not getting back or anything. :) God is so faithful. I love the way He works. although sometimes it's hard. :]

I love Bailey. We have so much fun together. Rocking out the Jonas Brothers, hanging out at soccer games! We are always so crazy, she's amazing. ♥

Amazingness(:

2008-09-01T18:39:00.000-07:00

My best frannsss. :] I love these girls, we had a lot of fun putting on dresses and taking pictures. (:

Happy Birthday Emily Rose

2008-09-01T18:33:00.001-07:00

My little Emily Rose is 7?? Pretty sure she's not allowed to do this....sorry Mrs. Pardue
She's my favorite girl ever ♥ And, it was emily rose' birthday part on saturday. man, 7? that's insane. I met her when she was just 3, ainsley's age. how crazy. =] it was fun, tacos, hot sauce, friends, and the luck to get to watch trysten run through the slide and rip it. amazing(:

Faith. . .

2008-08-17T22:31:00.000-07:00

Decided from my last post, that one I'm lacking right now is faith. It's so hard sometimes to just have faith in the Lord and trust Him when you just wanna get things done right away. But why should it be so hard? He ALWAYS comes through, maybe not the way I wanted Him to, but His work is amazing and perfect. I was reading my Bible tonight and came across a very good verse.

Hebrews 11:6
"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God, must believe that He exsists, and that He rewards those who SEEK Him."

I don't know, I guess I just like it because He will reward us when we seek Him. So I have to be looking for Him and following Him in order to find out what is going on. Ya know? I don't know, I just think it's awesome. =]

Don't you love that the Bible has every answer we can possibly need?

(:

Writing my thoughs. . .

2008-08-15T23:17:00.000-07:00

So lately I've been thinking a couple of things. I didn't really realize until last night at youth group how amazing God's grace really is. I mean, I sit here, wishing that this person would change, or wishing that I could to this place, etc. Instead of spending time with my amazing Savior who DESIRES to spend time with me and have a relationship with me. And yet, He is still waiting with open arms for me, He forgives me over and over again. I pray to stop doing something, and the next day I'll do it again. Because He loves us so much and is desiring a relationship with us, He's willing to forgive us over and over again even though we fail Him. Man that's intense.

And another thing, totally convicted. Who am I to tell God what to do? Lately I've just been not understanding at all what God is doing. I'm trying too hard to change the hearts of others, and while I can help, the Lord's timing is perfect and He knows EXACTLY what He's doing. I guess it's just hard sometimes. Man, I've gotta stop trying to do things myself, and fix them myself because I'm so impatient with the Lord. It's all about prayer huh? Keep asking God, and He will bless us. Hmm, I love Jesus.

Sorry if that didn't make ANY sense whatsoever. =]

♥

2008-08-12T21:39:00.001-07:00

I love Charlotte sooo stinking much(: Who doesn't? She's amazing, I loved spending time with her this summer. She's amazing, and I'm so sad she's going back to school:( But this is a pretty good pictures of us. Love you Lotte! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

My heroes:]

2008-08-04T14:40:00.000-07:00

I love these boys. My brothers and Rusty are pretty much the best there could possibly be. They are so stinking hilarious. Although they can be so annoying, quite disgusting, and sometimes really smelly, I couldn't be happier:] I was blessed with such an awesome family, thank you Jesus! =]

Heather!!!

2008-08-03T23:40:00.000-07:00

Pretty much she is my laughing buddy:] Oh man, everytime we're together we just laugh and laugh and laugh. (: It's ridiculous. I love this girl so much, she's pretty much amazingly beautiful, and just so awesome. :) I have such a good time with her, watching scary movies, eating food, and cracking up at anything and everything. =] She's amazing. Love you Heather!

My "little sister"

2008-07-29T21:25:00.000-07:00

I love Ainsley Marie, so stinking much. =] Hah, yeah she can be quite interesting sometimes, but I love that little face of hers. She's the bestest ever, and I'm so glad that I get to see her all the time. :) She has the best family in the entire world! No doubt about it. (:

ICHEE WA WA!

2008-07-29T21:21:00.000-07:00

HAHAHHAAH! Pretty much the funniest thing all week. Oh my gosh that hurt so bad, and that was only the first time I fell. But yeah, I just love spinning as fast as i possibly can then totally trying to run away, but instead of running away I fell really hard. =] I wish it was being videoed but that's alright. (:

Summer retreat '08

2008-07-26T14:29:00.000-07:00

The retreat was pretty much awesome. Man, did I learn so much more about God and how important it is to live this life for Him. We had some good times, battle wounds, sunburns, a lot of laughter, and a LOT of eating(: The best part was probably when my lip swelled, I wish I took a pic with my digital. sorry. :( The view was gorgeous, I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning. God's creation is amazing isn't it? =] But yeah it was a good time! I love being with my friends.

Boys and make up = ugly!

2008-07-20T20:01:00.000-07:00

HAHAHA! We found blush on the ground, and well you know Corey and Connor, they OF COURSE decided to put some on, a great color for them huh? Wow, they are so dumb sometimes:) But it's so very interesting to watch them. =]

Jonas Brothers = love

2008-07-10T23:21:00.001-07:00

So, me and Heather have decided that we love the Jonas Brothers. We're going to go to their house someday, yeah, we're creepers;) But this picture, is like perfect in itself because it's the Jonas Brothers PLUS Zac Efron!!! HELLO! Man, I love them so much. =] WHOO WEEE!!!!

Writing my thoughts:]

2008-07-10T23:15:00.000-07:00

Well, tonight we had youth group and my dad was sharing the story to everyone about all of our moves. And it became really surreal to me hearing my dad talk about it. He said "walking out of our front door from our Texas house, all 7 of us had tears in our eyes" "we moped and walked around sad for at least 2 weeks" And that is TOTALLY true, but now, look where we are, look where I am. God is soooooo big, he has changed me and my entire families lives, with faith and everything. I guess it always sucks to suffer, but it's so important to have joy during those suffering times. God is so big, and He knows what He's doing. Why am I questioning God's plan? It is PERFECT! Although moving away is the hardest thing that I can ever deal with, God is so comforting to me. Man, I think it's an important thing for us all to remember God's goodness!!!

Convicted

2008-07-06T22:32:00.001-07:00

Yep, I'm still learning. Mr. Pardues lesson this morning really got to me. When he said "For all we know the rapture could happen within the next 20 minutes, is the way your acting right now okay with you to be judged by God?" Why do we even waste our time with this world, and it's so called "pleasures" when we could be doing something so much better. He also said "If your going to give something up, fill it with something else that pleases God." For me, it's time to change. It's amazing to me how many times I can screw up and yet the Lord loves me just as much as He did before. We serve and are loved by such an awesome God. . . so what are we doing? I'm so thankful that I have a relationship with the GOD OF THE UNIVERSE and I love spending time with Him everyday. I encourage you all to start getting rid of those stupid temptations that Satan has hold on us, and start spending time with God, growing close to Him. Let's be prepared for His coming! Now I can't wait to spend the rest of my life in peace, sitting with my Lord and Savior and worshiping Him everyday. =] I love Jesus.

Best Friends. . .

2008-07-06T14:25:00.000-07:00

I love her. There isn't much more to it than that. The weird picture where her hair is in my face is because I thought we were taking a regular picture but I guess she was fixing her hair and took the pic and smacked me in the face all at the same time. It was sooo funny. (: But yeah, it's just amazing, and I could not be more thankful for her. =] She's beautiful, inside and out. I love you Kel.

texas:) yahbabe

2008-07-03T22:24:00.000-07:00

You gotta love Texas. The accents, and everything. I was so happy to go back home, hah, even though it's not home but whatever. It was so great to get away, and I love being with Breezers. We played 126 games of double speed and she beat me 76 times? hah. There was a storm the first night and it was AMAZING! Although their sixflags compared to ours is nothing, it was still a great time. :) I love it there. =] And all of my friends. (:

summer ohhh8

2008-07-03T22:22:00.001-07:00

Well the summer has started off amazing!!! God has done so much just in the first few weeks, answering prayers, mending friendships, it's been great. I'm so stoked for the rest of the summer, and to watch my friends grow. =]

We'll make it through. . .

2008-06-21T19:17:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite picture like ever. I love this girl, hah, even though I just said a bunch about her in the previous post. But yes, she is amazing and I just love this picture. Holding hands, and getting through life together. She's is an amazing friend and I love her so much:]

We love you Madalyn

2008-06-20T22:30:00.001-07:00

Well we had a last good day with Madalyn. We all love her so much and are going to miss her. It was a great day full of laughs and smiles. I will always love you Madalyn, I think we all will. Thanks for always putting a smile on my face, and everyone else. You've changed all of our lives I'm sure. We love you:)

Prayer IS powerful

2008-06-12T14:39:00.000-07:00

WOW! I guess the when people say "The power of prayer" they aren't kidding. It's crazy how God is working in so many of my friends lives. I'm so stoked for this summer to see my friends grow. It's amazing how we can pray and pray and pray and we don't see any change, but God is always working, whether I can see it or not. I'm so thankful that the God I serve is faithful, and His timing is perfect. The Lord continues to put me in awe everyday. :)

For you Corey!!!

2008-06-08T21:58:00.000-07:00

What goofballs these boys are. hah. :) They were just standing there shooting a ping pong ball from one mouth to the other. It was quite entertaining to watch, so I definitely had fun. hah. I love these boys:]

Thank you Pardues:]

2008-06-06T21:48:00.000-07:00

Kind of awkward pics, but whatever:) hah. Now I know to listen to my mother when she says sunscreen your legs;]

Well, it's been a heck of a week:] I guess just thanks Mrs. Pardue for letting me come over again and again, and letting your kids come over:) It was great to hang out with you guys. Your family is such a blessing to me, I love you guys so much=] Corey I had an awesome time, man, I forgot how funny you are [or what a jerk you can be] hehe, ily. Bailey Noel, your just amazing and I love you. hehe! And thanks for the shirt Mrs. Pardue! Now because of the beach I have a RIDICULOUS burn line on my legs, I mean it looks retarded. hah. =] I love your family so much(:

Inseparable

2008-06-03T21:00:00.000-07:00

I love my Kelly. On Saturday we walked home from taco bell (took forever not to mention we got "whoo'd" at by guys 7 times) hah. So yeah, we decided to take some pretty pictures. I didn't put nearly all of them up but it was super fun. She's such a good picture taker. hehe. (: I love my best friend so much=]

ManohhhMan!

2008-05-29T22:27:00.000-07:00

So I guess Jesus is just speaking to me like never before...
We were in youth tonight and the song we sang really hit me. It's funny, after four years of being in youth group, I've finally decided to actually start LISTENING to the words:] This song just made me smile singing it to my Jesus.

It's just the chorus:

"So I come into Your chambers, and I dance at Your feet! You are my Savior, and I'm at Your mercy! All that has been in my life up till now...belongs to You"

Can I just say how excited I am to know that the Lord of Heaven and earth is in control of my life. I don't have to worry about a thing, because everything in my life, belongs to HIM! I'm God's daughter, He is my Father, and the Maker of my life:) It puts a smile on my face:D

Mailage of the Cookie:]

2008-05-29T17:52:00.000-07:00

YAY! Kelly and I decided it would be SUPER FUN to mail a cookie:] Yes that's right, mail, as in stamps and everything. We mailed it to her house from my house. I'm hoping it won't be melty and all crumbly, but we will see(: It was super fun. Probably the best thing we've done together, haha! I love you Kel:)

Devontions

2008-05-27T20:07:00.000-07:00

So I guess I don't know why I don't spend time with the Lord everyday. Because when I don't, I have a terrible day. Today, I didn't start out my day with the Lord, the day got worse, then this evening I decided, I should go have my quiet time. Let me tell you, I feel so much better now. I actually sat today, and just listened to the Lord, I usually never do that because I have so much to talk about with Him, but it's a good thing. I sang a song to Him, and I just realized how easy it is to be distracted with all the people around you. I'm so thankful for my quiet times with the Lord. And I encourage all of you to have them too, EVERYDAY! And with worship, try and avoid sitting next to people who distract you, just because your singing doesn't mean your worshipping the Lord. :] I love my Jesus.

girlies(:

2008-05-25T23:17:00.001-07:00

Happy birthday Madalyn! We took her out for her birthday, just us girls(: It was so much fun.

Prom was sooo much fun:] Dancing for four hours straight was pretty intense. hah. =] I'm going to do another post because I have more pictures:) But yes, it was crazy fun. We danced from the 1800's all the way to our genre. It was crazy. We could NOT figure out how to tie Ryan's tie, so we has to ask a complete stranger. It was sooo funny:] Alrighty, next post.

My awana girls:)

2008-05-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

I love these girls so much. They all made my day in one or another. I got sweet letters from all of them, little gifts and they were such a joy to be around. I'm so proud of Madisen for finishing her book:] They all did great and I'm soooo sad awana is over:( I love them all sooo much. I can't wait till next year. But I am going to miss my 5th graders:[ But I can't wait to have Emily Hsiegh and my other Emilee again next year. So yeah, I love them all super a lot:] hehe.

My amazing 2nd family:]

2008-04-27T20:38:00.000-07:00

Um, this family is more amazing than I can even tell you:] (Okay we're missing Corey and Mr. Pardue buuut, they are still just as wonderful) I cannot even tell you how much I love being at their house. They make me laugh so hard. I eat their food, stay over too late, and wake up Ainsley when she's taking a nap, and they still let me in. [not to mention I invite myself over] hehe. =] But they have ALL touched my life in so many ways. Corey&Bailey, you two are two of my best friends. I love you guys! I LOVE MRS. PARDUE! hehe. =]

My Heroes

2008-04-25T12:21:00.000-07:00

Can I just say that these two people are pretty much my favorite people in the entire world. I love them more than anyone could ever imagine. They've been helping me ever since I was in like 7th grade. I miss 'Lotte so much, but I still have my wonderful Mrs. PARDUE! hehe. [never to be called Shaina] lol. I love both of them, and they are completely and totally amazing:]

HOLA LANTA!

2008-04-25T12:02:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness gracious. This was the first year I lived here. The first two pictures are the church picnic, of I think...'04? Wow, that is ridiculous. Everytime I see Sean and Daniel I totally thought that Sean was Austen and Daniel was Ed Vasques (I miss him) hah. Anways, these are ridiculous, I can't believe we've all changed so much. HOLY CANOLI!

The people who write my story:)

2008-04-21T16:57:00.000-07:00

My best friends in the whole entire world:] I love these people. Man, those are boys are crazy. As you can see I was trying to get out of the picture because boys have "cooties" espeically Corey and Austen. But I love them so much. Annddd all the girls, and everybody:) My Madalyn, I'm going to miss you my love(: But anyways, I love these people!

the beach:]

2008-04-21T16:53:00.001-07:00

We went to the beach yesterday:] It was fun, I can't wait till it's summer. It's going to be amazing. So I tried to skin board with Ryan, it didn't work out so well. Haha! I'm so bad at it, I wish i had balance. But yeah, it was fun hanging out:)

San Diego

2008-04-13T17:55:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness. Live changing, no doubt about it. I have never had so much for fun in my entier life. We worked so hard and I cannot BELIEVE how I feel. We slept on the floor of the youth group in the Urban Park Chapel and I could not have loved it anymore. Seriously, the staff there, was absolutely amazing, full on Christian people who were a JOY to be around. I have never met such loving people in my life. I enjoyed serving my God so much this weekend. Homeless people, aren't that bad. We fed them, hung out, talked to them. They are just looking for people to love them. And, most homeless people are WAY nicer than lots of people here in Temecula. God is so good. :] I have a whole new perspective on God's children and how much he really does love us all. If you want to know more about EVERYTHING, just ask, and I'll tell you the whole story. I've never been so excited to have a relationship with Jesus Christ than I am right now! Oh my goodness!

Leaving

2008-04-11T14:01:00.000-07:00

Going to San Diego, be back on Sunday. Pray for all of us. Hopefully this will be an awesome experience and God will be able to use me in so many ways. Pray for the safety for all of us and we will all have servants hearts. [and that I won't get attacked by a homeless man] [or get shot] hah. But yes, so yeah, keep us in your prayers. I will miss you all(:

wake up call

2008-03-31T20:39:00.000-07:00

Can I just say that God's love for me is absolutely ridiculous. These past few weeks have really opened up my eyes to how truly amazing He is. I mean, seriously? I don't even understand why and how. Here I am, freaking out about stuff that God has total control over. I have no right to take control over my life, because really, He's going to over ride me anyway. hah. :] I am so thankful for my relationship with my awesome Jesus Christ. I swear, God just screamed in my ear... "WAKE UP EMILY, THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU!" wow.

Bailey Noel

2008-03-19T22:13:00.000-07:00

My beautiful, amazing, hilarious Bailey Noel. I seriously love her so much. She makes me laugh so hard and I don't know what I would do without. From out, fabulous boy talks about Zac Efron (and maybe a few others) to our adventures at the mall, to our plan to destory all people on the earth, we have a blast. I love this girl so much:] She makes me oh so happy(: and she lets me invade her house all the time without even telling her I'm coming over. [along with the rest of the family. I LOVE YOU ALL]

My Birthday. . .

2008-03-12T12:33:00.000-07:00

So I turn 15 tomorrow, I'm so excited:] We opened up my presents today because I'm leaving tonight for Pasedena (I'll miss you all terribly) So yeah and I got a CELLPHONE!!! I have to say I'm so schocked and absolutely excited about it. :) I guess my parents cracked after the whole incident with Bailey at the mall. I'm excited:] So yeah, call me or text me, make me happy. My number is. . .552 4342! EASY!

YAY, I'm so happy:]

wow. . .

2008-03-07T22:49:00.000-08:00

Soo, I'm officially pathetic. I'm pretty sure I waste my life every Friday night. I'm watching chickflicks and wallowing in self pity while eating cookies and drinking...water? hah, I'm on my THIRD chickflick. PATHETIC! It's fun though. hah. :] Life is good. And I love Jesus!

In the meadow with my Kelly

2008-03-04T19:22:00.000-08:00

So Kelly and I took a very long walk in the meadow by her house. I seriously love that place. It's so beautiful and windy and just really nice. It was so much fun. We decided to take our "photography skills" to the next level. hah, some of them are pretty good. I know, that one where my hair is in my face...pretty trippy huh? Hah, but yeah, it was wonderfull. :]

my austie boyyyy

2008-03-03T20:53:00.000-08:00

Ha, ha! We tried to take this picture like 70,000 times but Trysten kept putting his hand in the way. That's why his eyes are all squinty[hah] but yeah, it was fun! Austen, your soooo good at mafia. You shouldn't be such a good lier. But yeah, I love him, :]

Cutest dogs ever...

2008-03-03T15:10:00.000-08:00

2008-03-03T15:07:00.000-08:00

HAH! I laugh at this. So me and Kelly went to Target and found these "ravishing" picnic table dresses that we LOVED. I was surpirsed at how comfortable they were. Then we had our laughs as she slept at my house. It was a great time and I love her. <333

Stuck at the mall bored to tears:)

2008-03-03T15:01:00.000-08:00

2008-02-12T16:48:00.000-08:00

So I really like icons. hah. :] I love the one that says God between the converse. My two favorite things, God and converse. hah. And the dead fish one is pretty funny. Died of thirst "put a bandaid on it" hahahha. Makes me crack up. And all of the other ones are just purttyyyy. I love them =]

Umm...amazing:]

2008-02-10T17:38:00.000-08:00

Umm, the winter retreat I think was my favorite ever. It was so amazing. I love the highschool group. There was so much snow and I definitely had my fair share of falls, [stupid ice] Ryan enjoyed laughing at me. But, we played crazzzyyyy twister and lots of other games. I love these kids. I grew so much closer in my relationship with God and I'm so grateful for what He's doing in my life and the youth group:] I wish I was still there. :(

girly goodness with charlotte

2008-02-06T12:55:00.001-08:00

So Charlotte is pretty much the best person in the entire world. She let me spend the night her last Friday here in Temecula and it was amazing. From, pigging out, to exploding Airzona ice tea's int he grocery store to laughing. We talked for like 6 hours straight [with a few bites of ice cream and eggos in the middle] She means everything to me, and I'm going to miss her so so so so much! I love you Charlotte.

Thank you Jesus

2008-01-29T20:26:00.000-08:00

So I've decided that God is pretty much amazing. :] He has shown me so much through the past couple of months and I'm eternally grateful. I'm so not worrying about anything anymore. (especially moving) It kind of clicked the other day that God really does have all of it under control and it's not worth scaring myself over stuff that He has control of.

"Without wavering, let us hold onto the hope we have for He can be trusted to keep His promises"

-Hebrews 10:23

God has done so many great things these months. He promised to always care for me and my family and it's all in His hands. I'm so grateful for the work He is doing in my life:]

kids at heart!

2008-01-26T21:52:00.000-08:00

Oh my gosh, this was sooooo fun&totally hilarious. Man, Kelly decided that she wanted to act like 1st graders and she told me how fun it was so slide down stairs with a silky blanket. So of course I was like "OKAY!" Wow! It hurt sooo fricken bad, man, my stomach felt like it fell out. haha. =) We were laughing so hard. I love my best friend!

The good times=)

2008-01-22T11:05:00.000-08:00

Wow! These were the good days! Ha, ha! Nice pictures of Austen and Corey huh? Yeah, I try! Hehe. Aww, Charlotte looks so little in that picture with Krystel, I miss Krystel. And the last one, kind of speaks for itself. Girls at a sleepover party=no good at all;) But yeah. I love these people.

2008-01-17T17:10:00.000-08:00

[I mean hello, the only reason I go to the Pardues is to swing on their swing] hahahahahah, totally kidding Mrs. Pardue. I love you guys. But yeah, I'm definitely getting one when I have my own house!

I've practically been spending everyday with them. Ha, ha! But yeah it's amazing. And the park was really fun. The last picture hurt really bad. Ryan and Caitie were both lik sitting on me. =/

2007-12-22T23:31:00.000-08:00

FUNNESS[I don't think that's a word] hah. So yeah, me Kelly and Kimmy went to a dance. It was really fun. The swing dance was definitely the best, but only if you get a guy that is good at it. Yeah that's right, I got like 4 guys to ask me to dance, hah, one of them was kinda funny. He came up to me and was like "May I have this dance?" And he was holding up the star trek sign, I was like...oh man. hah. :] It was fun! lol.

i love my highschool friends!!!!

2007-12-20T12:27:00.000-08:00

YAY! So me, Ryan, and Caitie went to go see Alvin and the chipmunks. [Pretty much the best movie EVER] Not even kidding. lol. So yeah, they're awesome. We decided we all needed to be a chipmunk so Ryan is Alvin [the love docta] Caitie is Theodore [the cute, fatty one] and I'm Simon [the wish I was cool, nerdy one] So yeah. It was a good day. I love them!

Exciting stuff..

2007-12-18T16:19:00.000-08:00

WOW!!!! I'm so excited. Today is the day, we've lived here for 4 years. I'm so beyond excited! Longest place I've ever lived. Exactly four years ago all of us were here sitting in our living room, depressed beyond all belief. I definitely didn't want to be here, I didn't like the people, I didn't like the place, I didn't like anything. =] Now my bestest friends in the entire world live here and I hope to be here forever. [Well until I graduate] So thank you for all of your prayers, because I'm such a worry wart. I love all of you dearly!!!!

Just thought I'd tell all of you that.

Sliding and....falling=]

2007-12-17T15:49:00.000-08:00

WOW!!!! Connor and I have a GREAT time together, [usually]. So our floor is really fun right now, I'm not sure why it just works really well so we decided to go sliding. It was sooo funny (: Connor is a doofus...hehe. =] Yeah, we're amazing! =]=]=]

Connor bo bonnor!

2007-12-15T16:25:00.000-08:00

Hmm, Connor, again. Man, this was his sweater for the youth night. It just looks so odd on him but so wonderful with his nice little girl face. ;) We were going through my moms closet to find one and I said "Look, here's a good one." and he's all...."No, I think that's a blanket?" It was sooo funny. [: But yeah, he looked ridiculous and it was hilarious!!!

(:(:(:

oldieee

2007-11-28T14:18:00.000-08:00

Wow, Kimmy is going to hate me for this one but...she doesn't look at my blog so it's okay. Look at how young everyone is. I saw this picture and for a second there, I didn't even know it was Corey. =O It's pretty intense. I can't remember if this was '07 or something in '06. But it doesn't matter, everyone is wayy older than they use to be. Except for maybe Jason, he's still a dorky as he every was. ;) So yeah, just thought this pic was too priceless to pass by. =)

2007-11-24T14:23:00.000-08:00

Fun day! Man, that log ride is a lot steeper than I remember. Actually I was just trying to protect Krissy=/ Ehh, okay I was scard. Ha, ha!

The spinny ride was painful. Kelly was like squashing me. It was horrible. We went on it twice in a row, yeah I almost threw up. =] Great day with the Marcy family!

My best friend

2007-11-15T14:47:00.000-08:00

So this is Kelly, as you all already know. She is pretty much amazing. We have wayyy to much fun together! I love her sooo much!!! She's such a dork=] I love my Kellay!

So here are my brothers=] Well most of them but you've already seen some of Connor...holy white legs...yeah that'd be it? Ha, ha, but my brothers are pretty much insane. =] Nathan...well...there's not much to say about him. Rusty and Wes...okay you got me...Rusty isn't my brother but whatever, close enough. They are really funny together. Taylor pretty much just mines his own business but I love him just as much=] My family is hilarious!

Fun times

2007-11-14T13:00:00.000-08:00

They're awesome, and I would say this is definitely an attractive picture...most definitely! Ha, ha! Okay maybe not! We were jumping on the trampoline that's why we're or me are all red. LOL! So yeah!

Umm...

2007-11-08T16:58:00.000-08:00

Although all of my posts are going away as I get more please still keep general conversations on the same one. Thank you!

Whoa I just sounded like a movie theatre person..."Please scilence all cell phones"

*in a movie theatre woman voice* hehe.

DUCKIES!!!

2007-11-08T16:51:00.001-08:00

HELLO DUCKS!!! This pic is totally pointless besides the fact that ducks are pretty much the coolest things ever. You know, I've always wondered why in the kid books ducks are always painted yellow but how many ducks do you see are actually yellow? Geeze when those kids grow up and realize that not many ducks are yellow, how are they going to feel? Ha, ha! I'm so funny. But yeah...ducks are awesome...seeing how I laugh like one it just all works out! ;)

Friends=]

2007-11-08T16:45:00.000-08:00

So, here is me and Austen at the lock-in. FUN NIGHT! Ha, ha, but yeah he's pretty amazing. We were going bowling and OF COURSE, I beat him...I'm just amazing like that and he wishes he could one day beat me in something=/ Sorry Austen. =] Ha, ha, but yeah he's cool.

[[and no Douglas wasn't suppose to be in the backround]] haha.

STRAIGHT FACE!

2007-11-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

Bah, man...so my family went mini golfing and me, Rusty, and Wes were on a team..."we won" [of course] and we were suppose to take a serious picture. Well, didn't work out too well...I can't do that. Corey and Austen should know that seeing how everytime we have a "no laughing" competition I always lose. So yeah, it was fun though!

Busting out the beat box!

2007-10-31T11:28:00.000-07:00

Oh yes! Dude Connor and I should get like a record deal for this stuff. Man, we're amazing. Ha, ha! Get your autograph now before we're too busy for any of you guys. ;) We do the little rocker/rap hand movement because we feel retarded going both of them so we just decided to mix them up.

Umm...????

2007-10-31T11:12:00.000-07:00

So this is how are school day goes. Connor is probably the most annoying brother in the entire world. He's licking my head...come on now. Ha, ha! We do have some fun until he gets to too stupid for me to be around him, but it's all good. =)

YAY!

2007-10-30T13:08:00.000-07:00

YAY. I love the Pardues [[not all of them are in this pic but they are all super wonderful]] I love my other Emily...she's so cute. And of course Bailey...wow...we've had some good times. LOL. Especially the book...haha, oh man.

HOLY WHITE LEGS!!!

2007-10-26T21:14:00.000-07:00

OH man. So here's my brother Connor. Yeah, pretty much the weird kid on planet earth. People say he's funny but I'd say just mentally challenged. But he's pretty awesome sometimes. =]

Just a reminder!

2007-10-26T12:46:00.000-07:00

So here is where I would like you to post our conversations. The same one everytime so we're not going back and forth back and forth like crazy heads. =] Okay?

SWEET!

2007-10-26T12:39:00.000-07:00

DUDE! DODGEBALL STUD!

So here I am playing dodgeball. Don't know why I am kicking it but hey, I'm just cool like that. We had a crazy dodgeball night for youth group. It was as I might say "AMAZING" I'm a stud, that's all there is to it. [The boys just WISH they were as good as me]
as in....AUSTEN!
