HURRRICATION!!!

The last few weeks I haven't been able to update my blog because of the hurricanes and Adam spilled water on the keyboard so I could not log in so we just bought a new one so now I am able to get on!!! Any who. . . We just went through hurricane Ike and we got to visit our Aunt Ashna and Uncle Chad. We had so much fun staying at there house. They live 30 minutes away from where we used to live so we got to make a surprise visit to some of our old friends. They were so happy to see us. I am so glad we were able to see everyone. When we got home we thankfully had no damage. We had a few trees fall but none on our house. I am so glad that me and my family are safe. Well that is about all that has been going on the last few weeks. My prayers go out to those who have gotten damage or who are now homeless because of the storm.

JOSEPH IS 8!!!

Joseph just turned 8 the other day. He had his baptism cancelled because of the hurricane GUSTAV. It is now rescheduled and he is ready to get baptized. Three cheers for Joseph!

SCHOOL IS BACK!!!!!

Summer is gone and it is back to school. I am just started going to Junior High. I am in brigs, band, and spanish (I also have normal subjects). I am having so much fun at VJHS! The middle school was like a prison! VJHS you have so much freedom! But with that it comes with a lot of responsibility. It is actually very easy. Today I had my first after school brig practice. The gym was filled with us brigs, cheerleaders, and football players. The competition with us brigs and cheerleaders is very bad. We feel like we have to be better than each other all the time. I guess it has always been that way. I am so excited to go through the rest of this year with all my friends. Thanks for listening!

IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BELLA IS BACK!!!!!!!! Our neighbor found her and brought her home the other day. She was found at some ladies house a few streets away. She was missing for over a month and we are so thankful to have her back! Thanks for listening.

Surviving another Hurricane

Two days ago we got news that there was going to be a hurricane that night. My mom went to the store to get a lot of supplies in case it was bad. That night it seemed like a normal rainstorm. That morning we went to see the damage (if any). The only thing that was ruined was my dad's garden (sorry dad). At least it had nothing to do with our house. WE HAVE SURVIVED OUR SECOND HURRICANE!!!
