So Random

I don't know what's happened. I used to post a lot more, but I sorta stopped. I think that if I just keep posting regularly (doesn't matter what it's about) I will get back into the habit. So, here's a bunch of random things.

I am not very good at volleyball. I am taking a volleyball class with Anna and Gracie. We should be practicing, but we haven't, so I haven't improved much. I can't set and can barely pass and serve. It makes me feel so weak, like I'm not strong enough to hit the ball hard enough. My Dad says that I am not less strong than an average girl my age, but I have a hard time using it, like I don't know how to get my strength out or something. I don't know. This week I am going to practice and hopefully it will help.

Gracie had a small bike perfect for her size. It was light pink with training wheels. She went out and rode it everyday and usually brought it up to put it under the stairs. One day she didn't. The next day it was gone. My first thought was that it was stolen, but Mom thought that the maintenance people took it somewhere until someone claimed it. So, she called them. They said that the maintenance people weren't supposed to take things. So, that meant it was lost somewhere. Gracie was very sad so Mom and Dad ordered a new one. It was rainbow with training wheels. Although it was a bit bigger than her old bike she loves it. Today she saw something and came in running. We all went outside and saw it. Her old bike was sitting outside a shed the maintenance people use. Mom rushed up and asked, "Was this just in here?" a guy came out and said, "Yeah, is it yours?" "Yes. I called the office and they said that you weren't supposed to take anything." "Well, here it is. It's just been in here." On the way back to the apartment Mom kept muttering things like, "Unbelievable. I can't believe it. I asked." It was pretty funny.

Is that random enough for you all? Haha! I love you!

February

I haven't posted for a while and I figured that I better catch up.

My birthday was on the fifth. I had a friend over the night before for a late night and we played with my cricut. She gave me some stickers and scarpbooking paper. It was so fun. I had crepes and hot chocolate for breakfast, nochos for lunch and Olive Garden for dinner. I don't know when I opend what, but total I got lots of books, cricut stuff and some jewelry. Just what I asked for. I also got a hot pink phone case. We went out to dinner with Lizzie's family and Steve and came back and had the ice cream cake that Lizzie makes for Shad all the time. The same one Tanner picked for his birthday. I'm sorry if I don't sound very excited. It feels like it was a long time a ago. Overall it was a great day. Thanks everyone for making me feel so special.

On Thursdays starting last week I have a cooking class. A chocolate cooking class. :) Last week we made chocolate chip cookies and brownies with a caramel chocolate sauce and toffee. Yesterday we made Taco Chocos with homemade chocolate ice cream. It was so yummy. And not to brag or anything, but I won presentation both times. They did look really good. I love the classes. They are so fun and educational.

This week we have a four day weekend and so does Tanner. Shad went out of town so we all came down for the weekend. We just got back from a really great picnic. It was a really nice day before and now it's raining. Bummer. We wanted to ride bikes later. Oh, well. Gracie, Tanner and Kate are playing hide and seek. They are like three peas in a pod. So cute playing together.

I thought that I had more to write, but I can't think of anything. Oh well. Haha!
