America!

I am in America right now having so much fun! i got a little sick this week, but I am feeling a whole lot better. I am at Grandma and Granddaddy's house now. For the beginning of the week I was at Mema and Papa's house. I played with the puppies and went shopping with Mema. Tomorrow we are going to have a Thanksgiving supper at her house. I had so much fun at the youth class at Sweet Home Baptist Church, and I hope I also have a good time with the youth at Southside Baptist Church. :)

Birthday Week!!!!!!

Hello!!! Today is my Birthday!!!!! The day before yesterday was Ash's Birthday! I am now 13!!!!! I am so excited. I am going to Coffee House with Mama for breakfast. Besides the fact that Daddy is sick, it is going to be a great day!!! I will try to post some photos of our day. :)

Nothing much has been going on around here, except that one of Daddy's college friends came to see us for a couple of days. We had so much fun!!! School is going really well for us. We are on day 14 out of 170. Got 154 more days to go. I am so excited about going to USA in November with my dad. I will be there for about 2 weeks. I will try to keep you up to date on a lot more things. I will post more soon.
Bye

Last Saturday which was July 25, there was a wedding. It was our pastor's son's. I need to load the pictures up onto my com. As soon as I do that I will post some pictures. Right now we have Mr. Billy, Mrs. Patty, Uncle Scott, and Aunt Diane. That means there are 10 people in our house. :) Even though it is alot of people it is still nice. Plus, our house is a wreck because we are probably moving this weekend. Our whole house isn't even packed yet, because we thought we were moving around August 10th.

Datcha pics

Datcha

Tomorrow we are going to a lady from the church's datcha. A datcha is a little summer house on the outskirts of a city. We will be picking berries. We have to get up tomorrow at 7 AM so we can be there by 9 AM. She will be cooking us lunch. I will try to post pictures of what we are going to do tomorrow soon. I will also try to get some AGM pics.

Ashlyn and Daddy got back from the states last Friday. They brought back a whole lot of presents. I got a digital camera, some clothes (some were High School Musical), snacks, manicure and pedicure sets, books, and teeth whitening things. We have been packing stuff and getting ready for the move. As much as I like the section of the city we are in, I am really excited! The only problem is that it will be towards the center of the city. Yesterday at church, a lady invited us to her datcha. I haven't been to a datcha since St. Pete. We get to pick berries. We are probably going either tomorrow or Wednesday. I am so excited.

AGM

We had so much fun at AGM this year. The plane trip to and back was very pleasant. I had so much fun being able to hang out with my friends all day long for a whole week. This year it was in Greece. We all got some sun, especially Mama. Right now we are unpacking some. I will post pics later.

Today we had a great time with Emily and her family! They visited Moscow for one day! We met at Red Square and we ate Sbarros. It was good! Tomorrow I will be going to Hannah's house. John-John will be coming over to play with Luke. I can't wait to see Emily and all my other friends from around Russia and other places next week!

Zoo!

Yesterday we went to the zoo with some friends who come over basically every Tuesday and Friday. There was a dolphinarium there too! It had dolphins (of course) and a beluga whale! :0 Then after we walked around and looked at the animals, we headed towards IL PATIO. I ordered lasagna, Luke ordered pepperoni pizza, and Ash ordered noodles. It was good. Since my lasagna was from the kid's menu, I wasn't full. Therefore, my dad bought me a Strawberry Shake. MMMMM! We had so much fun. I will post some pics of the dolphinarium and some animals later.

Swinging the sticks from side to side. :)

This is the cross!

I am the one with the straight hair behind the pulpit in all of these!

OK so the meeting Saturday was actually a service! We did not stay the full length! I was able to get home and go to bed at 12:30ish. The presentation Sunday went really well. We wore beautiful white robes. Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2ETCGidf34 to watch my presentation!

It take about an hour and a half to get there by Metro! Also my dad will be going to a meeting till MIDNIGHT!!! Which means we will come home about 1 or 2 AM. Then we have to get up in the morning about 7 AM. Oh well! Life is life.

We also had an old friend from Bryansk come to see us.
Tomorrow we are going down to the church to help clean up and get ready for the service Sunday. We will be staying there for at least 5 hours!!!
Other news is that we have about 20 days of school left till the summer break! I am soooo excited! Well, I have all my clothes picked out for the Sunday presentation. It came up sooo fast. I am excited to how the pictures of me doing it are going to turn out. Mama will also be video taping me. (hopefully) :)

That is basically all of the recent news!

Next Sunday will be Easter Sunday! That means I have a really big presentation. I have to wear all black, because my class (and a few other youth people) are going to put on a program. We will have long wooden sticks and use them to do motions for the song "Arise, My Son. " Two cute little boys will be doing it too! Aww, how cute!!! I will tell you how it goes and post pictures about it too!

About Friday!!!

Well, I promised I would tell you about Friday. First of all, the time with Uncle Ed was great! We had some yummy food prepared by Mama or Daddy. (I don't remember who prepared it) :D After that we left for the journey girls house. Karen (one of the journey girls) was giving pedicures and manicures to Ash, Kristen, and me while we watched Pride and Prejudice. This is a pic of my toenails. We ate pizza and talked about all kinds of things. It was so much fun!

Other news is that I have only two more days till I am done with Bible class for the year!!!!

Today is full of fun!

Today is full of fun stuff! First, it is Friday. That means tomorrow is Saturday. YAY!!! Second, somebody is coming over to eat lunch with us. Last, but not least, Ash and I are going to a party the journey girls put on! It is going to be so much fun! I will try to post tomorrow about how it went! :)

STUFF!

Yesterday, we went to our friends house to buy stuff from them. They gave us a whole lot of books and a microscope! We bought things like an exercise thing, a microwave,and other things of that nature. I had such a good time with Tessa! All we did was talk. I watched her talk to some friends fromher school. It was so funny!!! Oh, we aslo got a KEYBOARD!!!!! YAY!!! It feels so good to play the piano. We have been trying to buy a keyboard, but they are really expensive here in Moscow. It is so cool!
Other news is that we only have about 34 days of school left, then we will be out for the school year. We still don't know when we are taking a spring break yet. That is pretty much it.

COFFEEEE!!!

Today Ashlyn, Mama, and I went to Profsoyuznaya and went to Coffee House. Ashlyn and Mama got a regular coffee and two little pancakes that had apples and cinnamon wrapped inside. I got a frappuccino that had cherry and chocolate syrup going down the side, whipped cream, cinnamon, and coffee! YUM!!! We had such a good time! In this picture is the frappuccino that I ordered. The second drink in the middle is what I drank! It was SOOO good!

This morning I decided to braid my hair! Look how it turned out!!!

I got them!

Hey! I was finally able to get the pics from the party!!! These are only two of them. Hannah's mom fixed us some delicious ice-cream! We could put chocolate and strawberry syrup on it. We could also use whipped cream and sprinkles. The other pic is of me and Hannah. (The person eating the ice-cream is me.)

Another thing that I wanted to share was that we are almost through with school for the year!!! YAY! We have only 40 days of school left. Out of 2 semesters we are on our last one. We are pretty much on our 4th quarter (which we only have 4)! I have been having a lot of 9 weeks exams (which are at the end of each quarter) so i have been having a lot of stuff going on lately. Well that is pretty much it about school.

Hello!

Hello welcome to my new blog! I am going to be posting things about what is going on in my life. I will try to post things a lot during the week. First of all, I will start with what I did Saturday, the 7th of March. Luke went to John-John's B-day party. (John-John is Luke's best friend in Moscow.) John's sister is my best friend. She happened to be lonely because of all the boys that were going to the party. So she invited me and we did all kinds of fun stuff! I will try to get the pics we took there and post them soon!
