Anyway... How is everybody?? My pen pal has a blog at boo2u. Please check it out. I am sorry I haven't posted a new pic of me. I am really trying to get some pics on here. I am being watched by my aunt and her kids. My mom and her mom are up in D.C. right now. they flew up this morning. They are up there with my Uncle #2 who drove up there Wednesday. Please pray for their safety driving back on Saturday/Sunday. Then on top of that, in January, they are going to California to close down Uncle #2's house and help him move. He is going to Iraq, when he has only been in CA since June or July. They are leaving for a week. I have mixed feelings. I will probably have fun, but I don't want my mom to be gone for that long. We had somebody look at the house yesterday. I am praying that they put an offer on the house. Well, I am going to go now. TTYL everybody!!

Hey Guys,

    We might be moving soon!!! Last night a couple came and saw the house. They really needed a house soon. They are from south Florida and need to move up here. We are very hopeful that they will make an offer on our house. DM and I were leaving at the time though for a C.A.R ( Children of the American Revolution) meeting. DM was really nervous the whole way there though..
    Sis #4 was so cute the other night!! She didn't want to eat her food and DM said she needed to eat a couple more bites when Sis4 said "I like a box" . She was so cute!! It has been fun watching her grow and stuff. Today I was laying on the floor doing my math, and when I got up to go do something else, she got her coloring paper and went to where I had been laying down, and got down to the same position I had been in!! It was so funny!!
    I have a new job now. I get to babysit my cousins!! I had them on Wednesday. It was OK, but I need to think up a schedule and a craft or something.

A really long post! :)

Hey Guys!
I just wanted to tell y'all that my sis, longleggedgirl 's birthday is coming up. In fact, it's tomorrow!!!! So I just wanted to say, Happy Birthday Victoria!!!  I am very excited for her!! She got her ears pierced Saturday at Claire's ( I don't really like that store, everything but the earrings are cheap.) She was really excited and surprised!!
  We are going to look at some more houses tonight. We are going to see a house that is three story but is still only 4 bedrooms!!! I like the fact that it is 3 stories and has a loft but I was kinda hoping that I would get my own bedroom when we moved. Oh, well, I guess it just isn't meant to be!! We saw some houses the other night and the last one we really liked. It was seventies style but the last owners added on a bunch. It even had a pool! That was one of my favorite parts because then we could maybe have baptisms at our house.
  We had our end of the year swim team party last night and we got to see how we did in the championship meet. I didn't do too bad as there were I think over 200 swimmers there at least. I got 4th in my IM!! I think that was pretty good!! My relays got 2nd and 3rd. Both of them had my friend Jena on it. Jena is really really fast!! Her whole family are fast swimmers. They are the ones who came from Washington state. They were on a competitive team up there. Here it is just the YMCA.
  I might get a chat box soon!!! I am excited about that!! I am going to soon learn how to get pics on here too. I will try to post some pics of me and my family. I will be writing at least once a week now since it is an assignment from my mom. I am happy though. Maybe then I can catch up on everybody!!
  We have started school now and it is OK!! We are not doing TOG this week because it is recommended that you start TOG when regular school starts. So we are just doing light school this week. YAAAYYYY!!!!!!! Well, I didn't mean for this to be a really long post but I guess it is. I will TTUL!!! Cya!!

How is everybody doin'??? sorry I haven't blogged or commented in awhile!!  We have our house up finally!!! I am really happy because we have had our first looker at the house today. While they were there we bought some ice cream or as Sis#4 says "i preen" . we r having a swim meet on saturday so I will post about that later hopefully. I have been doing good on my swim meets and barely get any 5th
or lower places and am glad of that. It has been a challenge for me though to get1st places because my friend# 1 is really really good and is hard to beat. I still haven't done it yet. Our championship meet is on the 28th and 29th of this month. I am jittery over it. We might not be able to do swim team after we move so please pray for that. You know that 5 acre pasture I was talking about wanting to buy?? well it isn't going to work out because the man needs the money almost immedeatly(sp?) and we have to wait to sell our house. I am pretty disappointed about it. oh well. we have been busy lately. I get to help my mom with her TOG stand at a homeschool convention. TOG stands for Tapestry Of Grace. Does anybody else do that???? It is OK but the history is not my favorite because you have to read alot. Well, I have to go get my "i prreen.". I will wtul!!!!
Cya!!!

Hey Guys, How are y’all doing??? We are in Washington D.C., Actually if you want to get technical, we are in Baltimore, Maryland. We have been here since Saturday night. We got in at around 11:00 and didn’t get to sleep ‘til about midnight. We were all crowded in my Uncle #2’s apartment. We had our family, my Uncle # 1’s family, and my grandma, all on my mom’s side and all in one apartment. On Sunday, we went to the Smithsonion’s National Zoo. We saw a lot of animals. First we saw the Prairie Dogs. They were really really cute!!! After that we went and saw the lions and tigers. One of the lions was stalking two ducks that were in his moat. After that we went to the small mammals house. In the mammal house we saw an acouchi, some golden headed lion tamarins, lots of golden tamarins (one of which was hiding in a corner), a Von Der Deckens hornbill bird, some porcupines that were ugly, a ruffed lemur, lots of meerkats and meerkat babies, a weird animal that looked like a miniature anteater, a black tailed prairie dog, and some naked mole rats. After that we went to the ape exhibit. We saw a little gorilla chasing a big gorilla. Then we moved over to the Orangutans. There were three or four of them. One of them was eating something and we couldn’t figure out what. He finished eating it and licked the stump that he was eating on clean. When he finished that, he spit it up and started eating it again!!!! We thought it was really gross!!!! As we exited the building, there was a window with another Orangutan. It had stuck it’s tongue out at somebody!! After the apes, we went to the outside elephant exhibit. There were no elephants in it so we went around past the Hippos and their pond to the inside elephant exhibit. As we went in, we found that elephants smell like horses. We got to see a mama elephant and her baby, and another elephant that I assume was the daddy. In the elephant exhibit, there were pygmy hippos. They looked just like little hippos to me. Then we moved on to the asian trail, past the emus. Down the asian trail was the Giant Panda. It took awhile to find it because they were inside. There was a Mama, a daddy, and a baby panda. The mom and baby were sleeping while the dad was eating with his back to us. When we got to the daddy, my cousin #1 said that we were his biggest fan. Then my cousins started chanting “panda panda panda”. We had to leave though because they were closing the Panda exhibit. We went to the Sloth bear exhibit and saw it. The sloth bear was pacing in front of it’s glass. It stopped in front of me and acted like it was sniffing me. Am I boring you?? I am sorry if I am. I have to go now so Tata for now.
