VaLEnTinE's DaY SuRPriSe!

I know it's a week past Valentine's Day, but I still wanted to put this picture in a post. This is what my dad did for us girls! He got us all roses and a card, then he got Jen a teddy bear, a dog for me, and a box of sugar cookies for mom. Thanks Dad! Love You!

Jennifer's basketball game

Jennifer had a basketball game today, and she did great! She was playing awesome defense, and she made a basket too! Here are some pictures!

Basketball seasons almost over, and I'm so sad! It's been a blast, and I'm definitely hoping that I can be on the team again next year!!!

Great Idea!

Usually we don't put out our stockings until Christmas Eve because we don't really have anywhere else to put them but on the couch. But now we have a beautiful new banister! I thought it would be fun to hang all the stockings by ribbon kind of like you see them hung in movies. So my mom and I found some pretty white ribbon at Wal Mart, and it ended up working out great!

There was just enough room to hang all 6 of them!

Happy Christmas Eve!!!

Getting caught up!

Wow! Wow! Wow! So many things have happened lately! Some are absolutely and totally exciting! And then some are, well, not so exciting. Our computer wasn't working for a while, so now I'm going to try to catch everybody up on everything!

First, I should probably mention that.... MY VOLLEYBALL TEAM WON THE TOURNAMENT!!!! AND WE WENT UNDEFEATED THE WHOLE SEASON!!! It was so awesome and crazy, and completely intense! More than once the game was in my hands when I was serving! If I missed one serve, than we lost. But no fear! I was able to pull through, and my team did an amazing job, too! (I guess I should specify that this is my city team that I'm talking about.) Afterward, we had a super fun team party to celebrate, complete with pizza and some very yummy ice cream cake! We also each got a cd with pictures of the team on it.

This next one would fall under the "not so exciting" category. My camera decided to be stupid, and not work anymore! It turned on, then would not turn off. The lens was out, and was completely stuck, refusing not to go back in. This was especially irritating because I was supposed to take lots of pictures for the yearbook at school in 2 days when this happened. I wasn't as worried as I should have been, because when my dad bought the camera, he also purchased a one year replacement plan. He bought it last November, so we were safe. Or so we thought. He took me to Walmart, and it was a huge pain. We showed them the receipt, along with the camera and everything that came with it. They kept telling us that we should have gotten a pamphlet (which we didn't) and that would show us what to do. We ended up speaking to the assistant manager of the store, and he helped us. We went back to find a camera to replace mine, and they were completely out! After another round of what we went through before, we were able to get our money back on an in-store-credit card. I still haven't had to chance to get a new one, so that's the reason for the lack of pictures.

Next on my list....... Halloween was lots of fun! Jennifer dressed up as a mouse complete with a nose, ears, and a tail. I was a mime, and I loved it! I tried to go without talking at school, since mimes don't talk, but I gave up after 2nd period! I went trick-or-treating with my friend Olga over in her neighborhood, and my mom went around with Jennifer. We did get a picture or two of our costumes on my dad's camera, but I'll have to post those later.

And the latest, most exciting news of all......... drum roll!.............. Bryce and I both made our school basketball teams! Tryouts were last week, and mine were at 6:00AM! And that's when practice is every morning, too! Our first game is on the 24th, so we've been working really hard to get ready. I knew that we'd be doing a ton of running, but it's been wearing me out completely! I've been losing too much sleep, so I haven't been feeling well for the past 3 days! But I'm still really excited to be on the team!

I think that's about it, but if something else happens, then I'll be sure to fill everybody in!

Volleyball, Volleyball, and more VOLLEYBALL!

Holy cow we have been Volleyball crazied lately!! I'm playing on two different teams and Jennifer is also playing on a city team. Put together with Bryce's football, keeping up on school work, basketball on Tuesdays, and also trying to spend time with friends.............. wow! But I'm learning a lot about volleyball, and I've improved a lot since I first started. Jennifer and I spend lots of time in the back yard practicing with each other, and she's getting really good! I'm having lots of fun, and I'm meeting lots of fun girls!

These are pictures from my school team. This is one of the games that we've won- against American Fork- and we've definitely improved a lot as a team!! At the beginning of the season we were, lets say "not so good." But lots of practices and games have helped us get a little better. We have lots of cute cheers that we do, and we do a little dance every time we serve an ACE. It goes like this.... "Boogy- Boogy- Ha- Ha- Ace! That's a picture of us doing it on the top right.

This is my city team. The Women in Black! So far I think we've played 5 games, and we're UNDEFEATED! We've got some really great servers on our team, and we play great, too! I really like my coach because he helps us personally work on what we need help with. He's been working on my serve with me, and I've got it to where I can get it over every time! Whoo hoo! I've made lots of friends, and the girls on my team just crack me up!

Jennifer is quite the little player now! She gets her underhand serve over pretty much every time, and she gets lots of great hits every game! Today she served 5 serves in a row, then they stopped her becuase that's as many serves as you can do at their age. I guess they wanted to give the other team a chance!


Anyway, even though we're pretty crazy over at our house, we're having a great time! If you're interested, I have 2 games every Wednesday, and Jen and I both have a game every Saturday too. The tournament should be starting soon for both my teams, so that will be fun!

Bryce's football game!

Bryce is on the Westlake football team this year, and we are absolutely loving going to his games! These pictures are from the JV game that Bryce played in........ He scored the first two touchdowns of the game!! The first one was a 70 yard touchdown, and the second one was a 35 yard touchdown! Our team won! The end score was 28-18, so it was a really great game! Dad just got a really nice new camera, so he was having fun using his zoom during the game. He got some really good pictures of Bryce!

Bryce running for the ball!

If you haven't already noticed, he's number 16!

It was really hot out there!

Ha ha, this is a funny picture...

Anyway, it was a really great game, and it was lots of fun to watch! Grandpa White came with us, and Dad was able to make it too!
