So very very sorry I haven't been on in awhile...
I've been preettty busy lately. School and all. So now that I'm in 6th grade, I get to help in the Pre-k and Kindergarten 'Sunday School'!! I start this Sunday!! I'm very excited! Thankfully I'm with people I know. One of my bro's friends, and a girl I kinda sorta know. I help every 2nd Sunday of the month. 
Please pray that I will do fine. Thanks everyone!!Welp, today's my parents anniversery!! And apparently it's also Patriot day... I didn't know 'till I looked at the calender just now. Lol! Today we (Me and Mom) babysitted for a bible study at church. We're going to do it every Thrusday for 11 weeks. I get 1 buck every hour... Ah well. 22 dollars at the end. Not too bad.
I REALLY need more self-control. Or else I will never get a Laptop!!! I REALLY NEED TO SAVE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry about the capital letters there. I have a bad temper. Hehe...
I only get money for my birthday and Christmas and then the occasional job (Like helping my mom clean or something). Soo, yeah... Help please? Lol just kidding! But do pray for please! Thanks! There's this one pretty good Laptop for $499 at DELL.com, but it doesn't have Word or anything, which really stinks, but at least it has notepad, at least I hope so. But, I have no money. Seriously. None. PLEASE pray! Thank you, VERY much. Only $499... I really really hope I can get it soon.Well, I have only one more thing to say:
I got my new hamster!! It's a LONG-haired Syrian, but oh well, HE'S SOOO CUTE!!!
Thanks again,
Rachey
Alex, my hamster, passed away Tuesday morning or Monday night. *Sniff* I would like to get another hamster, a short-haired Sryian, my first hamster was a dwarf. Here's some pics of Alex:!["Photobucket"]("http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t170/Alx97/?action=view¤t=Whatwasthat.jpg")

I miss him!

I love rain! And we needed it too! A lot. Oh, look at this poem type thing I wrote:“The Sky is Gray,
“Not a Hint of Blue,
“The Sun is Gone,
“It is Dark Outside.
“The Thunder Shakes,
Even the Heaviest Homes,
“The Rain Pours Down,
“Horror Reigns.
“But the Sun Will Come,
And Bring Light Again,
“The Rain Will Cleanse,
“The Sky will clear.
“The Thunder Will Shake,
Only the Lightest Homes,
“Today will be forgotten,
“And Peace Will Reign.
I am now 11. YES!!!!! Do you know what that means???? It means next month I go to YOUTH!!!! I just know it's going to be awesome! I repeat: YES!!!!!
I got a new mp3 player. It's a ZEN, from creative.com It got here like 1-2 minutes before my birthday! I LOVE it! It's much better than my old one! I also got a new CD. It's 'Another Journal Entry' by BarlowGirl.
I have a couple more ways to get money now! I don't start till a couple months though
So instead of almost $200 a year, I will get around $250-$300 a year, I think.Rach
Well, I'm bored. I finally get to start going to 'big' church! I've been waiting for a looooong time. It's good to hear Pastor Tim's sermons. I learn more than I did at 'caraway'. The only thing is, there's still 'kids camp' on some Sundays. My bro's friends were suprised when they saw Colin today. Remember, he got contacts. The youth group went to some block party today. Lucky. Youth is going to be awesome!
Now for other happenings in my life:
We went to Arlington yesterday. If you don't know where that is, it's by Dallas, Texas. We went to my Uncle Craig's (the one who had the surgery) house. His son's were there. Only, my uncle was still in the hospital. But, good news! He can talk and sit up now! He's getting his strengh back! Thanks sooo much for all your prayers everyone! Well, it was good to see everyone again. My cousin Pat and his wife Alex came by with their daughter Sarah/Sara while we were there. I hadn't seen them since I was like, five.
Oh, by the way, sorry you can't go to random blogs from here. You have to go to one of my friend's blogs to go to random blogs... Sorry!
Rachey
Just needed to get some thoughts out.
God has all the power in, not only the world, but the universe. All the stars, all the planets, all the galaxies!! Everything in the whole entire universe, He controls. He's so powerful, and we don't deserve Him in the least. And yet, He cares so much for us...
Luke 12:28 says: "And if God cares so wonderfully for the flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you." ...Amazing.
And when God sent His Son, Jesus, to the earth, He didn't spend His time on the 'godly' people, He spent it on us, the dirty, poor sinners, liars and thieves. He talked to us, treated us kindly. Like the story about the woman who commited adultery. I never really heard the story, but Jesus didn't let them stone her, He treated her kindly. Wow. God has the most unfathomable love I have ever seen, or heard about.
The song 'I can only Imagine' says: 'Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel, will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in you presence to my knees will I fall? Will I sing halleluia, will I be able to speak at all?'
Makes you think doesn't it?
Rachel
More good news!
Remember Colin went to the eye doctor yesterday? He got contacts! He's been waiting for forever! I'm sooo glad he doesn't have to move his whole head when he wants to look at something anymore! You see, he's really nearsighted, so, yeah, now that he has contacts he doesn't. And also, he got a better prescription. Cause he used to see somethings a little blurry, but now he has a better prescription so it's not blurry anymore. I'm soo happy for him! But, boy, I'm glad I don't need glasses! Cause I'd look really weird in glasses, and I would never be able to use contacts! *Shivers* Anyway, do you see the yahoo group thing? It's my group, only me and my cous are in it lol. And please, it's only for kids, so please only join if your a kid. 
As in, under 18.
That's all I can remember of what's been happening.
Rachel
Uncle Craig had the surgery! He's fine! Thanks so much for your prayers!
Rachel
My birthday is coming up! June 13th! My party is also coming up, the first weekend of June. We're making our own cake, I kinda want strawberry with choc. icing! Yum! But I don't know if my friends like that kind of cake... If they don't maybe we can make two cakes, I need to ask Mom. Mom's b-day is also coming up! (She's PollyJo in my friends list) And two of my friends b-days! One of them is one day older than me! The other is four days younger. My bro (Ryan, the one who went with my dad) is turning TWENTY in July! It's hard to belive!
And now for other things!
I think the only thing I need to save up for is a laptop, IF my bro (Colin) lets me just buy games and play them on HIS DS... Which I doubt he will. 
Ah well. First I need to set up a savings account (my parents paid me the money they owed me) and then I can start saving. I figured it up, I get around 150 dollars a year for my birthday and Christmas, not too bad! Around 90 for Christmas and around 60 for my birthday. I only have 40 dollars right now. So in 4 or 5 years I think I'll have enough. Maybe less, I'll probably start babysitting when I'm 13, and I can help my grandma and grandpa around the house (I work around my house for free) so I don't know.
My bro, Colin, is going to the eye doctor today. And he's probably getting his permit soon.
Ryan and Dad are probably getting home tonight.
That's all the news I have for now, I'll type later.
Rachel
My uncles heart surgery is being 'postponed'. My bro and dad had to turn around and come back. This is like, the third time it's been put off! Please continue to pray.
Rachel
I'm bored. Mom and Dad are gone at a prayer meeting or something. They let us play video games while they were gone, but I don't have any to play, and Colin's playing one that I've seen 6 or 7 times. He loves that game.... Well, anyway, I have no idea when they're going to be back, it's already 11:40! They usally wouldn't stay out this late on a Saturday night, but I guess they have a good reason!
I'm sad to say that I never got a pic of that cute little puppy! Mom forgot the camera! Oh well, next week, perhaps? I have no idea!
Lately I haven't really been keeping up with my desion of reading the New Testament.... 
I think I'm on chapter 22 of Matthew....
Well, Mom just called and said they'de be home in a few minutes. Bye!
Rach
Hello everybody!
Today my friends and I graduated from WWJD! It was grades 1st-5th only. I was in the 5th grade last year and today was the last day of our last semester! The next semester is when we do Christmas songs, but by then I'll already be in the 6th grade and in Jr. high!!! Yeah baby! Youth here I come! 
It will be sooo awesome! My church has youth Sunday nights and Wendsday nights. I can't wait 'till August! 
But then I will also change Sunday school classes.... 
I love Mr. Kenny's class! Oh well, Colin liked Glen's class, and I'll still see Kenny at youth on Sundays.... so I guess I'll be fine! 
I also made the desion of reading the New Testament! I'm on Matthew chapter 21 (I just made the desion today).
I want a savings account really bad! No, I NEED a savings account really bad! I know shoudn't, but there's tons of stuff I really want! And I am very, very bad at saving my money, so a savings account would be really helpful! But I have to wait, my parents owe me some money, so I need that first before I can open a savings account, but it's at the bank or something so I have to wait! And they also don't want to take the time! Argh!!
Oh by the way, my mom has a blog, here's the link:
Bye all! I gotta go now,
Rachel
Guess what??? My family got a new car yesterday!!! FOR FREE!!!!!! Someone gave it to us! It's an old car, around 15 years old! But it's still kinda cool!! It's pretty comfortable, except for the driver's seat (at least, that's what my bro said, he was driving the car).... It's a Chrysler (is that how you spell it?) We now have three cars. Which is hard to believe! We would only have one car, but God blessed us and gave us two cars for free! Thank you God!
Sorry I have not posted in a few days, I've been pretty busy. By the way, a couple months ago, my grandparents' dog had eight puppies!!! They are SOOOOO cute!!! I have a confession to make... I have a favorite! It's brown, with a little black on his back, and three of his legs are white! He is sooo cute!! Especially his face! There's just something about his face, he looks sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta go, 'bye!
Rachel
Hey everybody!
First off, here's a link to something funny:
Anyways, I practiced the recorder today. Did you know the recorder isn't a real instrument? It's just a practice instrument for flutes, and clarenets and stuff. At least, that's what Colin said(and you know how brothers are!). But then again, that was what Mom thought also, so I guess that's what it is! If you want the link to the website where I got some songs, click here. It's free, and it has the finger positions.
Later, after supper, Mom's taking me and my bro to Braums to get icecream! Yum! Only, supper is eggs! 
=
NOOOOO!! LOL Oh well, at least there's icecream afterwords! =
You know the pics I said I was gonna post? Well, never mind. I won't be posting them any thime soon.
I'll post later!

Do you like the songs? I would have a few more, but they don't have them...
Today is Wednesday, which means WWJD! But, they're having a program next week, and my class is doing motions to 'The LORD'S Prayer'. And, I'm not sure I'm ready... I sure hope I am! I guess I'm ready, but I wish we could have a little more time to practice! Oh well, I'll be fine...
So, do you like my blog? I mean, do you like the Verses and stuff?
Tomorrow is 'Without a Trace'. It's a TV show. It comes on at 9:00 central time. It's a cool show. Once again, it's crime investigators. Tomorrow's episode sounds exciting, 'cause Jack Malone(the head investigator,or the boss, or whatever you call it)is in a coma or something. I'm not sure exactly, 'cause I only saw part of last weeks episode.
Then Friday we're(my bros and I)going to my grandparents house. Yes! Video games time! lol What I mean by that is, every third weekend at my grandparents we get to play. The only other times we get to play is when my brothers friends are at our house(don't get any ideas moms! It's really stinks to hardly ever be able to play! You guys have no idea! Or, at least some of you don't! )!
And it's also garden time! 
Yea! I like gardening! I think I finally get to plant my veggies Friday! My mom and grandma already planted some of theirs. I just got the idea last week so, I'm a little late on planting... Oh well, they're planting more Friday anyway.
I think I may post recipies some times, but I'll have to ask Mom first. So, I may be posting a brownie recipie or something in a few minutes(my mom gets back from work at one. It's one now.)! And also, I may be posting pics later at night.
'Bye!!
Rachey
This what I(supposedly)am:
You are a Orange!
You have a zest for life, especially for anything colorful, wild, or dramatic.
You have a unique take on the world, and you're not afraid to be a little funky.
You are a bit reserved toward people who don't know you well.
You have a thick skin, which can protect you from anything that goes wrong in your life.
Once someone does get to know you, they totally get and appreciate you.
Your friends see you as a bright person with a refreshing take on life.
Yup, apparently, I'm an orange..... cool!
