Christmas Time is Here

Wasn't I  cute as a kid :)

 Christmas has invaded our house and frankly I'm ok with that.  I've finally been able to get into the Christmas spirit since I've been stressing over finals for the past 2 weeks, but school is finally out and now I'm acting like a Christmas maniac! My favorite part of Christmas is watching old home videos when I was little ( let me just say they crack me up), also my favorite part is seeing other peoples faces as they open the gifts that I have gotten them or just any gift. I love to see their face light up and a huge smile appears on their face from ear to ear! What is your favorite part of Christmas? Leave a comment telling me!! 

             The Oklahoma Cabin trip

sitting around the camp fire just chilling

the whole gang

                                                           our fishing adventure

                                                   Trying to fish in my 80's through back jacket

  I tried to teach them Mauwe and they loved it even though we ended up getting a little carried away

I loved going to Oklahoma with my friends it was so much fun!! We stayed in this little cabin in the forest by the river and we had such a great time growing closer together and enjoying the time with each other.  We went to a folk festival and got to see baby chicks and lots of other little animals. Plus we saw all types of local goodies. We went fishing which was super fun although it was freezing and after about 35 minutes of nothing I just stopped bating my hook and then I caught a fish, crazy right! (so the trick to fishing is not to bait your hook)  Also another crazy thing is MURDER was written backwards in the bathroom mirror so when your took a shower and it steamed up you saw REDRUM in the mirror we think it was the people in the cabin before us playing a practical joke which it defiantly freaked us out.  I look forward to going back to share more laughs and memories with my closest friends. 

The Volleyball season has come to and end.... :(

The school volleyball season is over and I will defiantly be missing it.

I played on my school B team which is like the second best team I played setter on the team.

I love volleyball season, I enjoy ever part of it even the practices until 5 in the evening.

Hopefully next year in high school I can make the freshmen team. 

Now it's on to basketball season, cross country, and club volleyball.

I have successfully made a club volleyball team called 900 and I will hopefully be playing setter.

 Summer is fading.... and Fall is Here

                                                            Hot chocolate and Tea!

Sorry that I haven't been posting stuff lately I've been super busy since school started and I have volleyball until 5 every day. So I apologize for slaking off for like a month :) but the good news is fall is here and its actually not like 90 degrees in Texas! This last weekend it was 60 degrees! I know not very exciting of y'all Wisconsinites but that's like freezing for us texans:). I'm so excited for fall and winter!! I can't wait for warm sweaters, late nights watching christmas movies, and wearing pajama pants all around the house!! What are y'all most excited about for fall? {leave me a comment telling me:)}

                           ZOO DAY!!!!!

Frockets and Friends 

These frockets were so much fun to make and look so cute! All you have to do is create your own templet for what you want your pocket to look like. Then cute out the fabric and serge the edges, now fold over and iron the edges to make clean ones. Then sew on the pocket to the shirt and your done (easier said than done though). I apologize of my instructions aren't very clear:) but you can find lots of videos or instructions on youtube or Pinterest. Oh and if you try this don't sew the front of your shirt to the back trust me I have experience! 

 Spring Break Ski trip 

Throwback to My favorite spring break ski trip! My family loves to ski and as for me I'm not a die hard ski fanatic but I enjoy it. I'm certainly not the best skier either in fact the first time I went skiing I cried when we got to the top of the mountain. Although I've advanced and I would say I'm a pretty confident skier. This ski trip had to be my favorite I got to go with my friends and family and we had a great time laughing and enjoying the company of each other!
