2010-02-17T12:26:00.000-08:00

Well a lot of you know where I went this weekend but for those who don't, I went to Disneyland with some incredible people!!! :) On Friday morning I boarded the Amtrak at like 6:30am and left headed to Bakersfield Ca by 6:40am!!!

The train ride was good and pretty quiet till Fresno lol after we stopped in Fresno it got really loud!! Finally at almost noon, I arrived in warm Bakersfield!!! After being on a train for 5hrs and seeing nothing but open fields and vineyards, the sight of the city was very nice!! Well when I got off the train I found out that i was almost 15min's early and Brayden was running late!!!! So I waited for like 15-20min's till him and his sisters got there!!

For lunch we went to the famous Subway and ate a yummy meal!! After our yummy meal, we went seeming like to every store in Bakersfield lol Then around i believe 4ish, we made it to the Frosts house and unloaded the car (well Brayden did) and we went in and played with the daycare kids for awhile!!!!!!

Then after a few hrs we got dressed and went to the church and dropped Brianna off for there High school Banquet and Brayden, Areamy, and I met Jessi at the skating rink and skated from 8 till 11! We had a BLAST skating! Brayden fell like 3 times but only claims 2 lol

Saturday was the day we went to Disneyland!!!!!!!! We got up around 6:30 or 7am and got dressed and loaded the car and we planned to leave 8 and didn't leave till around 9 lol Brayden and Tyler got to the Frosts house around 7:30 for breakfast and to help out.

Well when we finally did leave it was Bro and Sister Frost upfront, Tyler and Brayden in the middle, and Briana, Areamy, and myself in the back. From their house Disney was about 3hrs away and so with Krispy Cream and food stops, we got to the park around 1:30.

When we got there it was soo hot!!!! I wore boots and good thing I brought sandals cause once we got into California Adventures I changed my shoes!!!!! lol

Well the first ride was Soaring Over California and in our group there was 11 people all together. So when we were in the line getting ready to go in, they show a video of what the "rules" were and one was you had to put your belt through a strap if you didn't reach the height mark, and when they said that Bro. Frost looked at me with a big grin saying like do you reach it!!!! lol So mean!!!!! lol So needless to say I was the front of the jokes this week!!!

So to make a long story short, on Sunday we went to Disneyland all day and on Monday headed home after we made a detour to the beach!!!! Then on Tuesday morning Brayden took me to the train station, and at 7:15 my trained pulled out of Bakersfield homeward to Sacramento!!

I only have one pic from my phone from this weekend and its of me and Brayden:) but more are coming soon hopefully hehe

Back From Peak 09!!

2009-07-31T12:00:00.000-07:00

Peak 09 was incredible!!!! Although I had a very long trip there, with tires blow out to stuck over 20hrs away with a car that wouldn't start!! But after driving 20hrs straight, we all made it in one piece thank you JESUS!!!! I missed Wed night due to coming into Tulsa when church ended lol but I was able to attend Thurs morning threw Fri night!! Sorry that I didn't take any pics, I kept on leaving my camera in the hotel room!!!!! lol But next yr I advise EVERYONE to go!! The preaching was amazing Bro Morton preached on Thursday morning (but I didn't catch the title of the sermon) but it was awesome!! Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night Bro Stringfellow preached really good and everyone responded to the preaching!!! It was incredible!!!!! Then our very own pastor Myles Young preached Fri morning about A Wind, A Whale, and A Worm!! Although he just preached it at our church, he made it seem like I had never heard it before! He talked about the youth being stubborn like Solomon!!!! Lets say it was a very sacred morning!!!!

But other than the preaching, I had a total BLAST!!!! Cant wait till Peak 2010!!!!
The dates for Peak next yr are July 21-23.

Its about a 26 hr drive in a car with other ppl...it is very hard to sleep!!!!!!!!!! But 26 hrs is nothin, we drove all the way to Ohio and its a 3-4 day trip depending on which way you go.

We are going to be taking freeway I 80 (I think) through NV, then on to UT, CO, KS, then arriving in the OK state!!! Its a long trip pray for me!!! lol

Also, my Marmy (my biological mom) came down a few days early to spend some quality time with my sisters and I.

On Saturday we went to tons of places!!! One of which is called "Squeeze Inn." I had never even heard of this "Squeeze Inn" place before till my mom had called and told us about it. (my mom which lives in Oregon lol) They said that it has HUGE Burgers, and like heartache pound cheese flowing out of the bun!!! (Sound good?) So we went to check this place out!!!! When we had got there and saw their Burgers......I was like "they are sure big!!!!" I couldn't even put my mouth around the cheese to take a bite!!!!!! lol

Then we decided to just sit outside because it was a fine day, when the waitress had quickly took our drink order and brought it out to us that's when it happened......my dearest mother had spilt her milkshake on her lap and all over the ground!!!!!!!

After our little "Squeeze Inn" adventure my mom needed a new pair of clothes cause I was not going anywhere with her looking like a giant milkshake had exploded on her!!!! So we headed over to Targets Clearance center. lol

We came out $90 poorer!!!! lol

Then we headed down town to the famous...Old Sac for some more shopping!!!!

Well to make a enormous story short... lets say my mom spent alot of money this weekend!!!!! shhhh my step-dad doesn't know!!!! LOL

April Fools

2009-04-02T19:52:00.001-07:00

Ok so I know everyone got fooled yesterday!!! Well I know that my sister sure did!=) LOL So let me tell ya what happen.......
So Ayla and Angel were out getting stuff ready for the wedding (that is rapidly approaching), and after they were done, they went back to angels house to kinda relax and just have some sister time. Daniel and Vince thought of a "funny" April fools joke to pull on Ayla! So what they did is they got the extra keys from my dad to her car, and moved it and even honked as they drove by!!! Then came back to the house and just waited!!!

Well like an hour and a half later my dad text her to tell her to come home. Well Ayla not knowing her car wasn't there walked outside to leave, when she made the discovery that her car wasn't where she parked it earlier!!!!! So my dad got a call from her stating that someone took her car!! My dad(trying not to laugh) asked her if she heard anything or heard a car start! She was like NO!!
-In the other room we were laughing trying not to let her hear us-
Well to make a long "funny" story short....my bro (chris)and I went down to her house only to find Ayla looking like she was crying!!! Well me (who can't keep a straight face) walked in with a HUGE grin on my face and trying not to burst out laughing said, "OMW what happened? LOL when Daniel and Vince walked in and said, "your car is back" Ayla got up and walked out of the house looking really mad!!
So all is well now, she laughs about it LOL
So, if you have any "funny" April fools jokes I would luv to laugh with you LOL

No Limits and the Jones

2009-03-13T14:03:00.000-07:00

Ok so No Limits this year was totally AWESOME!!!!!! (Can I getta witness?) LOL The services, the preaching, the COFFEE, and even down to the fellowship was incredible! I a so privileged to be able to enjoy this experience, and not even leave my home town!!!!! God is sooooo good!!!!!!! Thank you to all the ppl who has made this experience worth it!!!!!!

Soo, on a different note......Two of my bustiest friends who I have known since toddlers (well court and I are in the same age goup, and vince and bek) came to see me all the way from stinky o'l Germany!!!! lol They were privileged to attend my 18th birthday, and drive with me in my spotless car!! lol (far from spotless with certain munchkins with me....no names mentioned) We took pics, but they have some up so you can look there. I may put some up if they promise not to steal them lol

I am sooo sad they left, but I know in a few months....Ero Disney!!!!! Plus I talk to them everyday so its not that hard!!!!! But other than that, we had alot of fun remembering old times......Well thats all for now :)

Bakersfield

2009-02-23T10:52:00.000-08:00

So, this passed weekend Leigh, Austin, Vince, Lexi, Danae, and I went to Bakersfield. We surprised a ton of ppl cause we had told them that we werent able to come due to the fact we didn't have a car that would make it, and everyone dropping out at the last min etc.....

We both were there taking our tests and we had no idea we were coming on the same day!!!! So we took our tests, both passed, and then we took pics with our license paper lol!!!!!

Update

2009-01-12T15:50:00.000-08:00

Its been sooo long since I updated!! Sorry I have been really busy as you will read!!!!!

Well alot of you know, my little brother (Christopher) was is in the hospital for being very dehydrated. He got a flu virus along with my dad, and my other two brothers. Well my mom noticed that he hadn't really eatin or even drinkin in about 3 days!!! So, she rushed him to the nearest hospital which was Sutter Memorial, and of course, I wasn't even in town I was at the Acts 2:38 confrence (which was AWESOME). My sister (Ayla) text me and told me that they had taken my little brother to the hospital. So I was like FREAKIN out she didnt give me alot of detals, sooo all I could do is pray and wait till I got home to hear the detals.

So on Saturday, we (Lexi, Gabby, Brittney, Mother Goose AKA Sis. Shelia Hadox, and I) left little o'l Bakersfield headed homeward bound.

We got back in Sacramento about 8 or 9 something (I forgot lol) we dropped the girls off , and Sis. Shelia took me to the hospital where I met up with my family, also Bro. Matt Jones and Pastor Young. I got filled in finally.....well a little at least. We stayed up at the hospital with Chris and my mom for a few hours till about 12:30 or so, then we went home.

This continued everyday, going up in the morning and leaving late at night. Its really tiring and exhausting going to a hospital every day!!! Well the days went on and Chris had been there for almost a week, he had a lot of tests done to him such as a Colonoscopy, a Upper GI, and he also had a tube going down his nose. Then to make matters worse, he now has a prik-line in his arm. A PICC line for you that dont know is a tube like thing that is in the vain in his arm which leads to his heart. He has to be hooked up to this mobile machine that is in a backpack for 18 hrs a day, from 6pm to 11:30am.

So back to my story, he got the PICC line I think on wednesday and wasn't able to come home for even longer now!!!!! Well, he wasn't too happy about that!!! To get his mind off of the prior tragedy, ppl came to visit him, and also he forgot about his room mate.

His room mate is 9 and his name is Cole. He has the same thing as Chris but a lot worse. He was here for a major surgry on his intestents. So they got along good.

Well to make a long story short, Chris was able to come home Saturday afternoon and is doing incredably good!!!!! He has a blog site, just click on the blogsite link and it will go straight there. There are a few pics when he first went in and some a few days before he came home. Thank you for praying for him I really believe he is here today only by Gods grace and the prayers of all yal!!!!!!

chris when he first got there

Bro. Young and us praying for Chris

Chris a few days before he came home he's playing a game

Twas The Night Before Christmas

2008-12-10T16:26:00.000-08:00

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
* December 25th is just a 'Holiday'.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS , not Happy Holiday!*
Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during the

holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS

Soooo Whatcha Doin?

Thanksgiving!

2008-11-29T16:58:00.000-08:00

(us on our way there...5hrs ahhhhhhhh)

Ok, so Angel, Ayla, Joey, and I went on a little journey to Klamath Falls OR, to see my mommy for thanksgiving!!!! The weather was......COLD, but nice!! It was about 40 or so degrees in the day, and got to be about 20 or lower at night!!!!!

We got there on Wednesday morning about 11, then we all changed and got in the car and drove into town to drop my mom off at work. after that we went and picked up Ayla's brother "Victor" and ate lunch, went shopping for thanksgiving, and just hung out!!!!!

Then on Thursday "Thanksgiving" my dad cooked a scrumptious feast were we ate fillingly! lol After we decided to go on a nice walk in the fresh air of OR. But......one of our members wernt used to walking the great hills of Keno (thats the little town my mom lives in) so they complained the whole entire time!!!!!

Friday, hmmmmm lets see... oh ya we went to a ladies house that is in my moms church, and we ate desserts and fellowshiped with them. Then went to see one of my "used to be" best friends when I had lived there. Her name is Breanna, she is 5 days older than me, she's short, and is skinny. We have alot in common!!! lol But she wants to come for christmas break and go Ice skating and "real" shopping!!!!!! ne who's.....

Finally Saturday, we load up, eat breakfast, say our goodbyes, and "sniff, sniff" leave homewardbound!!!!!

Well, hope ya'll had a wonderfull Thanksgiving!!!!! Tell me about yours........

Luvs-

Pismo!!!!!!

2008-11-24T11:52:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I just came back from visiting a friend in Pismo Beach. Becky Holmes and I left Saturday morning about 5:15. Well, we kinda ran into some problems right away!!!! First, when we got on the freeway, it was so foggy that we barley could see the front of our car!!!! Then, some weird California drivers almost ran us off the road!!! (It was really scary!!!!!!)

Well, after 5 long hours, we finally made it!!!!!!!! The weather was perfect, (taking when we left that morning from Sac it was only 30 degrees outside!!) it was about 70 or so. The only bad thing about that was.....I had a sweatshirt and boots on!!!!! IT WAS SO HOT!!!!!! lol
My friend Catalina and her mom picked me up, and went to San Luis Obisbo (or however you spell it) and we ate at this place called, "Fire Stone." It was good. After, we ate, we went to her house and I changed (cause ummm ya....) lol, hen Cat and I went to her play practice at the church. It was really funny!!!!!!
Ne ways, after the play practice Shanie, Catalina, and I went shopping at the outlets and let me tell ya.........they had some good deals!!!!!!
After all our shopping was done, Becky, Cats mom, Cat, and I went to this yummy Italian restaurant and got really full!!!!! Then we went and got things to make Becky's famous "Carmel Cake" for there church baked auction thing.
Well needless to say, I fell asleep!!!! lol It was 10pm and I still hadn't slept.

So, Sunday morning I awoke at 9:30, got dressed and went to Sunday school!!! It felt really weird, cause I haven't been to Sunday school in like 3 or so yrs!!!! After Sunday school, we all went into the church for some good o'l fashion preaching!!!!! After Bro. "Elder" Domingus preached, we went and ate at chili's, took some pics, then went and met Becky at Taco Bell so we could make our "long" journey home.
Well, to make a long story short.... we planned on making being to the church around 7:30-8, but... that didn't work out!!!!! lol We ended up going like 30 or so mins out of our way!!!!! We were heading towards LA instead of Sacramonto. We were frantic cause there was no exits for a LONG time! So we prayed for an exit, and what do you know a sign appeared!!!! It said, "Mercy Springs Road" we were so happy!!!! So we finally got back on track, and our troubles started again!!! We almost ran out of gas on the freeway! But we made it to a gas station, filled up, and made it to the church...but church was over!!!

So, that was my fun little journey this weekend, Oregon's next weekend!!!!

(p.s. I'll post some pix in a few days........maybe)

This is one of the forwards I got yesterday!

2008-11-13T13:34:00.000-08:00

A Girl asked a Boy: -Do you think i'm pretty? He said NO.... -Do you want to be with me forever? -He said NO... Would you cry if i left? -Once again He replied with a NO. She had heard enough; As she walked away tears ran down her face. The boy grabbed her arm and said: -You're not pretty you're BEAUTIFUL. I don't want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever. And i wouldn't cry if you left..... i would DIE.

Ohio

2008-09-13T14:26:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back from Ohio!! It was a sad situation why we went, but in all it was a good trip. My family and I all stayed at my Aunt Linda and Uncle Bills house, along with my cousin Ty, my Aunt Linda's boys Jimmy and Tommy, plus their girlfriends Franchesca and Ashley. When we got there on Thursday evening in Akron, Ohio, we rented a really nice car. Then we hurried to the viewing where all the family was. When we go there, there was tons of ppl! We immediately found our family.(which wasn't hard to find) We stayed there a while, then everyone left to my Aunt Di's house for food and fellowship. We went back the next day and did the same.

Saturday was the day of the funeral. There were alot of ppl that had come!!! The way our family did it was, we the grand kids all 30 of us walked with the casket, while all the boy cousins were in front of us carrying the casket. Behind us were the 7 great grand kids and all 8 of grandmas kids. Each of us had a rose that we kept with us till the burial. Well during the ceremony, my Aunts and Uncles all got up and spoke about their mom, and I "me" got asked to sing "Ave Maria" to my grandma because it was one of her favorite songs. I guess it turned out ok. Well after we had her service, all of the 8 kids got to ride in two convertibles to the burying of grandma.

When we got to the grave yard to my papa and grandma's grave, we had another mini service, then starting with her kids by age layed their flowers on her casket then the grand kids and the great grand kids did the same. It was a weird feeling knowing that when we come the next time, we wouldn't smell grandmas delicious basta or her famous cookies baking in the oven. I stood there thinking of all this and found myself crying while looking at her beautiful casket. I looked over at my cousin Ty, and saw he was doing the same, but then he did something I will never forget!!! He stood at attention and said, "Grandma, this is for you" and solluted! Then turned to papa's grave and did the same, and turned to walk away and found himself in the arms of his mom. Right there I broke down and sobbed in Angels arms.

After our goodbyes at the cemetery, we went back to the church and ate, talked about grandma and how she had impacted all of our lives. We left the church about 2hrs later and we all joined at my Aunt Linda's house where the kids swam, we ate smores, sat around the fire, played, etc...

On Monday we (all the family) went to a place simaler to "Some Place Fun," (but was more for gymnastics then inflatiables) where we supprised Vince for his birthday. Which is owned by my grandpas sister. We had a BLAST!!!! Then some of the cousins had to leave, so we said goodbye and continued to play. There is this big ball thing that you blow up and are able to get into it and run around like a hamster. It was so much fun!!! Well we all have to say our goodbyes sometime, so Angel and I were going with my Aunt and Uncle in there Mustang convertible!!!!! So we left and got to the house and chilled till my parents got there. Then my aunt wanted to watch The Phantom of the Opera, so we watched that and then she wanted to see me in my grandmothers wedding dress. So, I tryed it on and my aunt was so excited to see me in it because for one, I was the first grand kid to put it on, and she wanted to picture what my grandma would of looked like in it.

Tuesday is the day we were supposed to come home, but we missed our flight by 10 mins, so we came home Wed morning!!! Well, we would of made it but we wanted to say goodbye to grandma one last time. Oh I forgot to mention, the whole time we were there it rained!!!! So when we got to the cemetery, it was over cast and cold. But the thing that still amazes everyone that goes is all of the sudden the sun came out and shined all around us!!! But the moment we all get in our cars, it clouds up again. We dont understand why it does that, but we just knoe it happens!!!!

Well here are some pix from our little trip!!!

Grandma and Uncle JayGrandma and her kids

Grandma and the out laws lol

Grandma and all the grand kids and great grand kids (missing a few) My Grandma was a one of a kind. She is a BEAUTIFUL little Italian lady with dark olive skin. My Grandma LOVED her grand kids and her great kids!! She would put us right in front of her while she made cookies, food, etc... She would make me laugh just by the way she talked about the kids when they were little, and how they acted (which we reminded her of when the kids where our age) My grandma was as stubborn as can be!!! She would always keep us on guard, from moving her refrigerator after heart surgery, getting rushed to the hospital and making the paramedics laugh to anything!!!! She was my grandma whom I love dearly!!!! Although grandma isn't here any longer to make us her DELICIOUS cooking, cookies, and telling us stories, she will always be in my heart especially and the hearts of all of us!!! I love you grandma so much and thank you for being everything you were to me!!! Although i am hundreds of miles away from you, there wasn't one time I ever forgot about my grandma!!!! I will never forget you for as long as I live!!!!

Luv you,

Tamsen

So I was able to attend Junior camp as Staff along with my family, and Sarah Ladd. Well sorry to all you Senior campers, Junior camp is way funner hands down!!! Ok so I guess I'll start with the first day/night.
Day -1

Sarah, Beatrice, and I were laying on random ppls beds, getting attitude from little Redding girls, so hot we room jumped, and just enjoying being STAFF at J.C.!! That night we had an AWESOME children's speaker!!! His name is Bro. McCool and is one of the coolest children's speaker I have ever met!!!!

(Bro. McCool)

(Sis. McCool and my friend Tori our speakers wife and daughter)He had puppets, interaction songs, etc.... After the service, the little children's had bed time at 10:30 so Olivia, Sarah, and I just wondered around and went to bed around 2am.

Day -2

Sarah, and I got up at 8:30 am went to breakfast, then had to go practice for morning children's church. So Olivia, Sarah, and I did puppets(lol), white gloves, song participation, etc... Then after church we had craft, lunch, playtime and the best of all a WATER FIGHT!!!! We had soo much fun!!!

(us after the water fight)

Well our clothes were soo wet Sarah, Angel, and I had to go to the laundry-mat to dry our clothes well we got a little bored!!! Then it was shower time, dinner,and then church!!!!! Once church got out Logan Domingues, Seth Shoemake, Austin McCool, Olivia Domingues, Sarah Ladd, London Young, Angel Lombardo, Aden Shoemake, Vincent Lombardo, Kevin McCool, and I had a full out dodge ball war!! (well it all started whenus girls came running in with crazy hats which the boys thought we were moving targets) After our war we went outside and saw little girls everywhere and a car tp!!!! To make a huge long story short, Monica chased us and took all the tp off her car and moved it, and we found it!!! So we decided to tp Monicas car again!!! Sarah and I got to bed around 4.

(the sneaky tping crew)

Day-3

Well the night before was long, long, and exciting night ao needless to say Sarah and I got up at like 11! (good thing they switched the P.E to in the morning) So Sarah and I had to hurry and get dressed to go get ready for the morning service. Well to our suprise London was doing the morning with Olivia and us. We had a blast again!!

The kids after went to lunch, craft, free time, water fight, etc.. We had church again (which was awesome) and then after that the kids had a talent show. It was soo funny!!!! Then after the talent show we did alot of things (just check Victoria's blog for details) lets say we didn't go to sleep that night!!!

C.O.D.E.

2008-06-21T15:36:00.000-07:00

I know you all are wondering "what is C.O.D.E?" Well I'll define it for you:

C- conference

O- of

D- drama

E- evangelism

I did not get the chance to go to code these past two years (sniff,sniff), but I was able to go in 2005 and also 2006, and they changed my life!! The classes, the GREATEST teachers of drama in the world, and the opportunity to meet new friends!! Its not just drama, there is an incredible move of the holy ghost after!! People have gotten the holy ghost after the drama's are finished! This is what my friend said about code this year;

"it was the bomb for reals, people seriously prayed through and prayed till like 2:00 in the morning"

Thank you to Bro. Cantrell, Bro. Vick, Bro. Tiller, and My Dad for teaching me to love drama and for letting me see that drama is so much fun!!!

Friday 2008

2008-06-07T21:12:00.000-07:00

Well on Friday evening myself, Lorrena,and Ayla went with my darling big sissy Angel and her friend Joey downtown to Jessica Peltons shop. The reason for this journey was my dear sister wanted her hair permed. So we waited FOREVER for her hair to get done!! We even played Monopoly that Daniel had brought over while we waited.

Then finally its done about 12ish in the morning, and Joey still wanted a hair cut! So we waited even longer!!! Jessica had to first wash his hair. Finally about 1ish we left homeward bound!! So here are some pix enjoy...

A Sad Passing!!

2008-05-29T00:39:00.000-07:00

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.

The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboyas a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rosequickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-bakedschemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty oldman and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, JohnDough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived byhis elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 350 for about 20 minutes. If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise tothe occasion and take time to pass it on to share that smile with someone elsewho may be having a crumby day and kneads it.

2008-05-12T11:47:00.000-07:00

On Saturday some friends, my sisters, and I went to the Peltons house to go slip-n-sliding and swimming. But when we got there, the key wouldn't turn. So we called Shamia and told her the key wouldn't turn so she said that she would come rescue us and unlock the door. While we were waiting, we wanted to go to "the petting zoo" and pet the animals. So here's some pix of us.

Well this is Janey after the pool!=)

Lexi Moved!!

2008-05-07T20:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, I know I'm probably really late on this but its so exciting!! Well about 1 week ago, my mom saw this house right down the street from our house that was for rent, and so she called Leigh and told her about it. So Leigh called and talked to the landlord and found out that another person was looking at the house. So Leigh called my mom and told her what the landlord had told her. So that night when we took our nightly walk, my mom, myself, and Tiffany(our neighbor) went to the house and we prayed over it. That next morning my mom got a phone call from Leigh saying that the landlord had called her and said that they would rather rent to her! So last saturday, we moved them into their little house!! so since they moved in, myself and Brianna have stayed the night 2 nights and have gone walking every night and every morning!(well at least Lexi and I have in the mornings)
