Countdowns(:

What do you get when you have 53 minutes of pure boredom(biology)?...... An agenda book full of countdowns!(: let me show you what i mean. haha

• 41 days until my sixteenth birthday!!! Now, I have been looking forward to my sweet sixteen since about...my fifteenth birthday. Okay, maybe not that long, but for quite awhile, I mean its my SWEET SIXTEEN!(: I have I mentioned I just a tad bit excited? haaa the main reason of this is because I am one of the youngest kids out of my group of close friends..there's only one other younger than me. Yes, I still consider myself a kid, even tho most teenagers would not like being called so. I say that until I'm not living with my mommy and daddy I am still considered a kid.
• 16 days- PROM!...what else is there to say about this topic? I mean seriously its prom. Besides the fact that, I get to feel like a pretty princess in a very pretty dress and have a absolute blast with a great group of friends.
• 28 days- Until Band Trip! We're going down to Texas For 4 days, and its something I've been looking forward to since I started band. No, I don't consider myself a band geek, for those who don't really know me..but I love music, and enjoy band quite a lot.:) We'll go to six flags- I lllloooovvvveee rides,especially rollar coasters. We plan on touring the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and attending a baseball game. I'm thinking about sitting the game out the game tho.

Well there you have it. I would have to admit that it was a very productive 53 minutes of my lifetime!

Oh and another thing I'm very pumped about is..... being a SPANISH DANCER:) during this year's Peace Treaty that takes place in Medicine Lodge. This one isn't present on the countdown because it'll take place in September. I've wanted to be one as long as I can remember and finally convinced Hannah Banana to be my partner in it. I love her.(: She's the best. Well I'd say that's plenty for tonight. Thanks for listening, or rather reading I guess.

My First Blog! :)

I've decided that dad has failed miserably on keeping everyone updated on our lives here lately. :) I've reached this conclusion because of the fact that he hasn't blogged in about six months! After constantly bugging him to give me the password, he gave in. The main reason I wanted the password is because that having a blog is on my bucketlist. :) So, now I guess I'm supposed to inform everyone on my life? Just so everyone knows, this is the first blog I've ever done, and well I'm just gonna wing it. So don't judge!

We celebrated Hannah's 11th birthday on the 20th down at Aunt Carol and Uncle Rick's house. My little sissy is getting so dang old:( She had been with Marla and Justin that week and so they were there too. We went paintballing, watched a lot of basketball, and went rollar-skating with them; It was a blast! Mom dominated in paintball, and KU won their game that Friday(my family are hhhhuuuuggggeeee KU fans, btw), so it was a very good weekend.

For Hannah's birthday, the Broxtermans got her the book "Heaven Is For Real." Hannah finished it rather quickly and both her and Marla said it was really good, so I asked if I could borrow it. I literally could not put it down. Finished it all today! :) Its a great book about a little boys account of his trip to Heaven. I won't say anything else about it, but I would definitely suggest reading it! :)

Last weekend we went down to Medicine Lodge so my wonderful Aunt Rie could hem my, pause for effect.... PROM DRESS! :) It's very pretty! It also took me two whole days of trying on dresses and lots of driving to find it. No kidding, ask my mom, who of which, was there the entire time. Anddd Colby and Jacob, who also helped me pick it out! Btw, thank you Jacob for all the input(he reminds me lots of Brian, so I asked for his opinion multiple times:) )We finally found it in Kansas City when we went up to Topeka to celebrate Addy's birthday. Prom is April 16th and at first I honestly wasn't too excited about the idea of going, but now I've got multiple friends going also so I'm actually pretty pumped for it! Plus lots of pictures! And getting to get all dressed up for the night!

Well that's pretty much all I can think of at the moment. Hope my first time wasn't too bad!

New Bloggers

I have decide that I cannot blog worth crap. Therefore, I am going to let the girls start doing the blog. I may contribute from time to time, but I really don't take the time to do it. We will take any input and creative criticism. Hopefully they will do a better job than I have. TTFN, Ivan.
