YHappy Sweet 16th Birthday, Sabrina!Y

Sabrina, I'm ssssssooooooo glad we are friends and prayer partners at youth group!

When you and your family started coming to church, I never would have guessed that we would have become such good friends. Over time, I have been able to trust in you and tell you about things I may be struggling with or problems I need solutions to. I'm so glad that I have a friend like you who I can tell things to.

You have been a tremendous blessing to me, I'm very thankful for you, Sabrina!

So happy, happy, happy sweet sixteenth, Rina!

YHave an awesome birthday! See you Sunday!Y

My Life Online - AKA: Mylo...

Ohmygosh!
I am ssssoooo pumped up about this post! Wanna know why?
Because (if you remember) this last Christmas I was aloud to pick out a new Palm Pilot for a gift. Right? Okay, so we started the hunt...nothing. Could not find a thing. We started looking at Nanos, Zunes, and MP3s. None of these pricked my interest.

So, on Saturday, daddy had Presidents day off. He asked me if I wanted to go Palm shopping with him and Nathan came along. Just like before, we couldn't find a thing. We found only four Palms for sale but three where ugly as all-get-out and the fourth was not what I was looking for. For some reason, I almost got it...until daddy told me to wait and we could look online for something better.
Boy am I glad he said that and that I listened!

The very night we got home from looking, we got on the Internet. It didn't take long before we found a PDA (Personal Data Assistant) that I loved! What we found was called a Mylo, which stands for My Life Online. Sony had them in white and black and I was dying for the white version. Ever seen those phones that have the Qwerty keyboard that slides out from under the screen? That is a well-fitting description of the Mylo. We read the reviews and really liked what was said. Unfortunately, Sony was out of stock (!!!).

The next day, dad found a list of Sony Style Shop numbers and found one close to us. he called and asked the girl on the phone if they had any white Mylos in stock there. They did! They told dad that they would hold one for us until 9:00, which was closing time.
So as soon as dad got home, we sped down to Beachwood Place to a mall where a Sony Style shop was located. I told Kelsey on the phone, "It was one of those kinda places where you feel out of place in you jeans!" *lol* Anyway, we went up tons of stares that made me feel like I was gonna barf, and found the shop.
We found the guy at the desk, looked at it and eventually bought it after about an hour of playing with it.

I absolutely love it! I can get on my blog because of the Internet access that it includes, their are games that you can download off of a sight for Mylo, music, I can take videos and pics, and even email! Sweet uh?

I'll bring it to church so you can see it!

Happy Birthday, Nate!

Happy 12th Birthday, Nathan!

I love my bro since the day I first held him in the hospital.

We have a video of me (I was 3 at the time) and Nate just hours after he

came, and I was this brown-eyed, curly-curly haired kid, with a pillow on my lap and a blonde, chubby baby boy. My pudgy hands touched his face, his even tinier hands, his nose, his head, as I looked at him with wonder at this little boy I was told was my very own brother. In the video, I look at him squarely in the face and ask, demanding: "Do you want to be my brother?" Then I look up and say, in a loud voice with bundles of giggles: "He's my own brother!"

When he started crying in my lap, Grandma Sherry tells me that: "He'll do that sometimes..."

This sentence is followed my a very abrupt sob out of me and I hand the baby back and cry:

"Mommy! The baby is crying!"

Now, like then, I still am sad when the now tween cries. I might get terribly embarrassed or mad at the kid, but he is still my "Very own brother" and deep down I love him very much.

So, happy 12th birthday, Nate! Don't grow up too fast, Baby Bro.

Keep Praying, Pleez!

Hello again...

Keep praying for Max, if you would.
He woke up this morning, would not get get out of mom & dad's bed,
and when he did his limp was twice as bad as it was yesterday.
Mom is taking him to the vet around eleven.

Thanx - Hanna

'Bout Max...

Yall know about the crazed golden doodle we have around here, right?
Good - well, this is just a post to ask you all to pray for the nut, cuz last night he started limping. None of us can figure out what his problem is, so if you would pray that the
limp heals up or that we will be able to fix it at a low cost.
Thanx, friendies!

Dunno What to Call This One...

Whoa! Talk about weather in the Snowbelt!
Snow has been pouring down since I got up at 7, and it's still falling.
Cozy, true, but Mum, Granny, and I where going to find kitchen stuff today while Grandma Sherry watched the kids. So instead, after looking at the weather reports, we decided it would be safer to just stay home and enjoy the white glory of winter. (Hmmmm. Good line - I could use that.) Anyway, I'm gonna write, Mummy is making chocolate chip cookies, and we are gonna read and stuff. I'm wearing the cozy red sweater that Mom gave me - even cozier!

Other than the cozy weather today, I was so excited about Drew and her mom! They are thinking about names already. Drew told me that if the baby is a boy, they are thinking about Jason, if it is a girl, they like Pheobe! Is that not the sweetest name for a little baby girl? I think so. The Maseks (who left a while ago, but I look at her blog sometimes) are expecting a baby boy soon. Talk about a baby boom, hu?

G2G - Lunch is ready!

Super Bowl of Steelers (*gggrrrrr*)....

The Super Bowl got me yelling, can you believe it?!
The Cardinals should have won, and the Steelers should have made their way back to Pittsburgh. I felt so bad for the Cardinal guy who made that awesome touchdown and then the glory was stolen by the Steelers freak. You should have been in our living room when the Cardinals made the touchdown, we where all screaming and cheering-it was so funny! My dad was really mad at the dude who was pushing around the Cardinal guy. He kept telling us all how they should have ejected him from the field.
I was about as mad that they won as I was about Obama getting the Office. *ggggrrrrr* I'm a Republican, can you tell? Although, I will say I didn't like McCains view of stem cell research.

Enough of politics and football - who needs 'em?
I'm finishing up chapter fourteen today, and I am at a really romantic part at the moment. *Woohoo, hu?* =]

Well, I gotta scoot. Gotta keep up with the schedule...
