Can you believe it? Its CHRISTMAS TIME!! Its so insane. Everyone is just Busy, Busy ,BUSY. momma has been decorating for a week or so straight! Lil' shirl has been busy doin her thang and dad, Well dad is just doing his thang too! As for me, I am trying to sell as many of my unneeded things on craigslist and babysit as much as possible to get a few bucks :]

- I can across some really cute Christmas Poems-

Cute Christmas Poem
I made myself a snowball,as perfect as can be
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,and let it sleep with me
I made it some pajamas,and a pillow for its head
then last night it ran away,but first it wet the bed!!!

All I want for Christmas

Every body stops

and stares at me

These two teeth are

gone as you can seeI don't know just who

to blame for this catastrophe!

But my one wish on Christmas Eve

is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas

are my two front teeth

my two front teeth,

see my two front teeth!

If I could only

have my two front teeth,

then I could wish you

Merry Christmas

It seems so long since I could say,

'Sister Susie sitting on a thistle

'How happy I'd be,

If I could only whistle

All I want for Christmas

are my two front teeth

my two front teeth

,see my two front teeth.

So I could wish you

Merry Christmas!

Update on miss Tally

What nice weather!! I had a lesson this morning with my trainer Abby. Here's a few pictures and vids of my dressage lesson ;]

The Baptism.

Its about time!! Grandma Shirley got Baptized on Saturday November 8th. Aaron, Maegan and their family made the trip up here and Karlyn as well as Amy ( Ken's daughers) and their children came up here from Utah. What a great experence!!

What a CLOSE ONE!!

Today around 3:oo, Our whole street disappeared in smoke. There was about 5 or 6 firefighting vehicles and around 4 police cars. There was a house on 47th that went into complete flames and didn't settle down for quite some time. It was the house right behind the Pink/ turquoise vietnamese house. So it was a close one. The winds were about 30 mph. We were lucky it didn't spread the street!!

Recap on Eventing Rally in August.

I finally got some pictures. It took a while for them to develop ;]

G-ma's BIG Decesion !!!

Every monday for the last 11months, The missionaries have been coming over to our house for discussions. A man named Jason, from our ward, always came over after work. G-ma at first was always tired and just hung out in her room. But that was only for two months and mom kept inviting her to come out and listen. These days she is up and out , taking notes and being super involved in the discussions. Last monday, 9/15/08, she set a date to be baptised!! WAy to go grandma!!! The date is November 8th so be sure to come if you can. There is always room at our house and I know that she would especially appreciate it :]

The Offical Rally.

What a weekend!! We Left here about 4:30 friday afternoon. The next morning me and dad woke up at 5 and headed down to the barn there in Spokane. We then were done about 7 at night and had a good 2 hour drive home to look forward to. The weather was perfect, no complaints! This events works that you have 3 rounds and a Jump off. You have to clear(meaning having no faults with the poles or time and not falling off- elimination) ALL 3 rounds and if you do, you get to do the jump off immediatly start after the 3rd round. With me, I cleared the 1st and 2nd round but on the 3rd round one of the poles ( as you see in the video) got 1/2 way knocked off. It was a bummer. All in all, I placed 2nd out of 30 people. It was a really good rally for me :]
