hair dye school barbies and other things

ok you are all wondering why i have a very interesting title. So first thing on the title is HAIR DYE so ya i re did my hair and people tell me it looks good so lets hope they are telling the truth.. umm.. yes i am going to the "artsy' school my mom says that if after the first semester if i dont like it then i can switch back to public school. when i was little i adored barbies i loved barbies i wanted to look just like them they were like the perfect person. I used to think that if i looked like barbie i would get a free convertible and wardrobe i mean when your five its not really hard to get you to believe things. Look at her she is gorgeous! but now as i think about it im more pretty then barbie because god made my instead of a machine making our friend barbie. beause i am a piece of art instead of plastic and my maker loves me. I dont think that whoever made barbie machine or man loved her so any one who is readong this girls in particular. Dont let anyone tear you down and say that you arent beautiful because you are no one can do anything to make god think you are ugly, and besides and doesnt matter what other people say cause DUH! we are pathetic humans who think about ourselves so next time says you are insignificant or that you arent beautiful say "I Am the crown of gods creation and he is the only one who defines me" That ought to scare them off. Well enough of my ramblings bye and as always

Weekly Ramblings

Good Morning everyone, wow, we weren't very exciting this week, were we?

Last Week's Requests:
School decisions for us
Direction - Band wise and personal
Hispanic friends - healing from surgery and safe travel*update* Praise! Home now, healing and recovering. Doing very well! Thank you for prayer.

This week's Requests:
Our youth group needs an actual 'Youth Leader'- that God would bring the right person forward
Our friends sister - visiting - praise for safe travel
Hispanic friend - doing very well, still healing
Unspoken for Casey and Taylor's friend
Unspoken for Tori's friends

OK, that was all the requests for this week, thank you for continued prayer!

So last night was our associational youth rally thing where (in theory) all of the youth groups in our baptist association get together and have like a worship service and hang out and eat food and stuff, Anyway, so that was pretty cool, literally. On the way up there it was raining, then it turned into snow and it snowed the whole time, so there was like 3 inches by the time we left to go 50 miles back home! It was crazy, especially seeings how it's been like 70-80's all week! I actually got a really bad sunburn on Saturday watching my siblings play soccer. Still hurts. Yeah, well, anyway back to the point. It was a really good service too, they have like a youth band thing and they did really good, but I personally think they need drums, but that's just me cause I think everything needs drums! The message was good, they guy was talking about how in our relationships with God, we are the ones that move away, not Him, and he tied it in with the man (apparently Mark) who ran away from Jesus in Mark 14:51-52. Anyway, I better get going.

Happy Monday!

Hey Everyone, How's it going? Some people really don't like Mondays, some because they have to go back to school and work, and others for reasons unknown to the rest of mankind. Well, I was just thinking about Psalm 118:24: "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. " So if you're a Monday-hater, remember that God made today just like He made all the other days and He wants you to live your life today in a way that is pleasing to Him. Try singing a song, reading a book, drawing a picture of a flower or other things and think of how great God is. Just an uplifting thought.

Must Have Done Something Right

Hey Everyone, more useless information that you will probably never use from the strange mind of me. So we (My siblings and I) are enrolled in an online school that is technically through the public school system but we do it at home, and we have to do testing every year. This year I had to take the Iowa state tests. Also, next year I am going to take an online virtual high school so they have been sending a lot of stuff to "The Parents/Guardians of Tori..." from the Utah state school district. So this morning I when I went to get the mail, there's this Manila envelope from the school to my parents. Well, I figure, "It has my name on it!" So I opened it. You know what was in it? Of coarse you don't, so I'll tell you. It was a "Certificate of Outstanding Performance in the Iowa state testing" I guess I scored in the top 10% nationally! My "Areas of outstanding Performance" are Reading and Social Studies. Anyway, I just wanted to say that!Really not trying to brag or anything, just really excited!
Tori<><
I'm Thanking Him^
P.S. All of the quotes are from the actual 'certificate'

My Frozen Brain

Hey! So we went to the Kersten's house last night and we had a ball jammin' with their instruments and stuff. I guess I was the first one that Taylor let play her foot pedal. It's WAY FAR OUT AWESOME!!!!! It was alot of fun. So their mom's birthday was a few weeks ago and they made an ice cream cake for her. Well their freezer is REALLY cold so while I was eating it I got a really bad brain freeze and said, "My Brain hurts!!!" and so Sherlyn (their mom) said, "So don't use it anymore!" So now if I do something stupid like I'm not thinking, I have an excuse!Well Gotta go!

Happy St. Pattie's Day

Well since it's like Monday and stuff, I thought it would be a good day to start doing a weekly thing. So I'm sitting here thinking, "What could we do as a weekly post?" Then it hit me! We could make a weekly prayer request post. We can add our prayer requests for the week and you guys can comment and add yours so we can pray for you and you can pray for us! Sometimes I amaze myself! Just kidding, I just have smart moments!
Requests:
School decisions for us
Direction - Band wise and personal
Hispanic friends - healing from surgery and safe travel

I think that's all for now, I'll update if I think of anything else. If you do post, please keep it kind of vague on details, for your and your requests security and safety. Thank you so much!

Random Post by Casey

Hello Everybody!!!!!!!!!!! This is Casey's random post..............hmmmm..........uh................hi.......... I don't know what to say..............Taylor is being really annoying..........I probably shouldn't say that when she is right next to me....................I gotta go Taylor says so.....................I LIKE CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Casey<><
James 1:19 "Take note of this my brothers: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."

Yeayah!

Hey Everyone! Guess what! I dyed my hair! It's crazy amazing! here's a picture of it! I got red & black highlights. As of right now, Casey, Taylor and Ashalee don't even know! So this is exclusive information! Just Kidding, but I'm pretty excited about it!

Much needed update

Wow! It's been a long time since we've posted! Lots going on. So we are finishing up with the play, The Frog Prince. Originally it was Casey Ashalee and Tori acting, Taylor was the stage manager and Bethany was doing tech, but Ashalee had to drop out and Taylor is filling in for her. It's going really well. The next thing on our summer schedule is our church camp next Monday! It's up in the mountains, which gives us a break from the heat! It's usually about 10-15 degrees cooler up there. This is Taylor and Bethany's I think third year at teen camp, but the first time for Casey, Ashalee and I (Tori). I'm really excited about it, and I assume the same for the rest of them. Right after she gets home, Bethany has to leave to go out of town for almost the rest of the summer with her family to their summer home, in places much cooler than here! Good for her. Well, I better get going, sorry about the wait!
Tori, Wannabegarageband <><

Cool Little pet guys!

Lol, so when Casey was at my house, we went and looked at Ashalee's personal blog, and saw that she had these cool little animal guys, so we went and got some, one for each of us as you can see. They're pretty cool. You can play with them and feed them. Have fun!
