the super bowl and some close cussing

WOW what a great super bowl!! And the youth super bowl party was too.
There was one funny thing that happended at the end of the game, Josiah sat in a corner and cried I mean he cried he had tears and his face was red!
So during the game patriots scored with less that 5 minutes to play and brenny, lucas, jo, ethan and josiah all came over to me and started all going “HA” or What, what now”, and me and Cahlen took it but it was mostly all went towrds me becaise I am anti-patriots, I hate the patriots.
So I took all the “ha ha” and said nothing, but when the giants won josaih was sitting in his corner, and I said to jo and lucas “know what do got to say” because neither of them really cared about the game or the teams.
So I said that and Josiah said (more like yelled) “ shut your fucccc” and he stopped and said “ freaking heck up”.
And I really thought he was gunna say the F word it was so close being finished, and his parents were there and they were both up stares, so I think he got off lucky that time but he needs to fix that, but my mouth fell open when he said that, or all most said that. and i looked over and emily was there and she looked suprised too.

But other than that, that was one of the greatest super bowl in a while, that maybe just be because it’s fresh in my mind, but it is cool because a Manning won last year and another one won this year and this year the team was a wild card.

All In All

Ok I’m posting again.
This is going to be a short post but a post nonetheless.
So our family went on the day casting crowns was there. But that day my mom’s cousin’s friend had an extra ticket and offered it to me. But I said no because I don’t really know that guy. But later that night we were stand out side the stadium or what ever it is, because we were going to listen to the concert out side. But when we were heading to where we were meating my mom’s cousin, we ran into mike and jannessa Lock (they were there with a group of teenagers from a camp thing), and they said thay had an extra ticket, and I wasn’t going to go because if it lasted late and everything, but then I talked to my mom & dad and I decided to go, and I was so glad I did because it was awesome, o so so AWESOME, Tree63 was so cool. One of the really cool things about Casting Crowns was the sort of preaching that the lead singer of Casting crowns did. I think I liked what he said so much because he was like youth pastor or something.
The whole concert was awesome.

And nothing else has really happened. Except lots of fishing.

O and for my birthday I got two gerbils. When I was looking at them, at petsmart the guy who was helping us asked if I wanted to hold the rat and dad said to go hold, so I did and I was expecting it’s tail to feel really weird when it was running up my arm, but it didn’t.
But I didn’t get one because they just look weird, and there RATS!!
But when I got my gerbils I got to and when I got them home they wouldn’d stop fight and they got into a fight and one of them started bleeding. So that night I had to one of them in my trash can with some bedding. And the next day we took them back and I got to different one’s. And one is black with a white stripe down its neck and the other on is white. And I haven’t named them yet, I have some ideas for names, but I can’t decide, so if you have any ideas for names please tell me.

TTYL.

The Blackout

Ok so our power went out on Thursday at 4:00 and dad had just got his car stuck an hour before and a guy who lived a mile away brought him home. So after the power went out Brenny, Dad and I went and got a bunch of fire wood and brought it in and put on a blanket to let the snow melt off of it because it was covered in snow, and then when it started to get dark we went and got a bunch of candles and lit em. And for dinner we had peanut Butter & jelly sandwhiches, and Brenny had 5. And then we played a carded a game called Horse Coller and then we were going to play Wizard (another card game) but then my mom say Rook (another card game) so she wanted to play it so we did and it is so much fun, but were missing the rook card but the rule book says we can play with out it, and we played teams, so it was me and dad against Brenny and mom and Brenny and mom killed us. So after playing cards we went to bed and we all slept in the living room next to the fire, and my dad had to get up every 45 minutes to feed the fire, but the bad thing is that he barely got any sleep because he couldn’t get to sleep because the couch is to short for him to stretch all the way out, he said “he was cramped up the whole night”. In the morning I found out that I was the only one who got an ok night sleep. And in the morning Brenny found his face between our small dogs legs. So Friday morning for breakfest we had cereal. And then we played half a game of rook and then had lunch and for lunch we were lucky and had gas in the grill so we made hamburgers, cut potatos and soup and to cook the soup we put it in some bread pans and put it on the grill, it tasted so good compared to peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches. And after lunch we went and shoveled and helped our neighbor get unstuck, and when we came back in mom was tacking a nap so we played a game of up words. And then when mom got up we finished our game of rook and dad and I won. And then it was start it was around 5:00 so we started to get the candles ready and I went and got an emergency thing that had a radio and flashlight so we got that out so we could listen to the weather and some music. And by 6:00 we started to get dinner ready and we made chicken and some green beans on a skillet and some bread on the grill. And then it was starting to get really cold because on Friday morning it was 54 and now it was 50 degrees so we played another game of rook right next to the fire, because all the other times we played crads we played in the kitchen. So asfter playing cards we went and got some more wood for the thrid time that day (we got so much wood, we are almost out now), so after getting wood we went to sleep and my dad got a better nights sleep because we brought Brennys bed out of his room and put it in the living room and dad & mom slept on the bed, and Brenny slept on the couch and I slept on the ground again because I couldn’t sleep on the couch I’m to long like my dad. The next morning we got up and looked out side my window and I was looking at my dad and I could see his breth, and then we looked at how cold it was in the house and it was 46 degrees, and then we saw that the roads finaly got plowed so then we could go to Layne and Saras and get warm and get a shower, and the shower felt so good.
And on Friday unhooked our handset phone and hooked up an old phone so people could call us, and then before we left we hooked up our handset so if the power came on we could call the house and tell if the power was on. And at 2:00 or 3:00 we called the house and the power was on. Because my mom had coupons that she bought from us for ATF.
And after that we went home and the power was on and warm, it was nice.

That was our three days of blackout.

SuperBowl

The BEARS are in the superbowl. And they are going to win it!!!!!

Cassie and Codi

Hey, everybody, I just wanted to say that there is pictures of Cassie & Codi on my zoto (conner.zoto.com), and I will keep adding pictures of them. There is only a few pictures of them on my zoto now because I haven't had time to take pictures of them. And on my zoto there is only a picture of Codi, atleast for now.

I will try to put some pictures of them on my blog sometime!


Well gotta go.

Surgery

Ok, hey everybody, I know I haven’t posted in a while, but I have been kind of busy.
Well yesterday we went to the doctor for my arm, you know that bump on my arm!!
And they said that if I don’t get surgery on my arm then my arm might not grow and my other arm will, or my arm bend and stay like that forever, and because the lump is there I cant bend my wrist one way and the other way I can bend it to far. So we are going to go have another opion from another doctor.
And at youth Layne said that ATF has been moved to Apirl, and now I see that, that was a good thing because If ATF was still in Apirl I would have a cast then or I would be in recovery.
So we think I would have surgery sometime in January, and I would have a cast on for 6 weeks of having it on, and 2 or 4 weeks of recovery.
But the worst part is I won’t beable to do my school.
And when we were at the doctor, the doctor said that I have more to grow.

My Zoto

Well this is going to be a short post!! I just wanted to say that I got a zoto.
And if you want to check it out, it's in my links, a long with everybody else's zoto.

I'll Wright back later.

I Need A Cappichino

Well, sorry it’s been so long since I last posted, but just haven’t wanted too!!

Well I’ll try to start back up!!
Well last week we went to Adventure land, and we as in Dad, Mom, Brendon, joseph, Cahlen and my self.
Went after the marriage breakfast, and when we got there the first ride we went on, was the pirate ship one and for some reason that made my stomach hurt the rest of the day, so after every ride we went on my stomoch would hurt!! Which really stunk because that takes a lot of fun out of the sidewinder!! And all the roller coasters, it stunk!!!
And one of my favorite rides was the Invertor, and I have never been on it before, and we go every year because my dad can get free tickets from his work!! And every year Brenny and Alex would go on all the rides they saw!! And I would not!! So this year I went on some new rides (atleast they were new to me), like the first year they got the side winder, Alex and Brenny went on it and I did not, but the next year I did!! And it was so much fun!! And we go to the circus every year, and this year we were a little late (15-20 minutes late) so we missed some of the stuff, but the stuff we did see was cool!!
And Cahlen and I got bored waiting in line, so we would say yes, no, yes no for a reason, that now is really stupid, but it was fun at that time (it was nothing bad). And when we waiting in line for the Dragon (which is really fun) these to girls came up and said “can we pass, our mom is up there”, and Cahlen went “ NO you have to wait in the back of the line like everybody else” and they started to walk away, and then I saw there mom coming and I said “there’s the mom” and at that very moment Cahlen said “ I’m just kidding”, there face’s were so funny!!!
And when we were there Cahlen had a gyro, and Cahlen gave me a little piece of the meat and there was a little bit of sauce on it and it was so GOOD!!!
And my dad and me did the speed ball game, and neither of us wanted to look stupid so we did not do any thing close to a pitcher’s stance. We just through it. And I got 53 mph and Dad got 43 or 46mph.
And the last thing that happened, was Cahlen, Brenny and joseph went on the splash over, and I couldn’t because I was still not feeling good, And when they were waiting in line, it started to rain, and my mom didn’t like because she was getting really wet!!!
And I found out, that glasses stink when it’s raining!! I just kept cleaning them, and then I decided that I was just going to let them get covered in water!! And after we left Adventure land we went to somewhere, were we could get a hot chocolate, but I mixed it with a cappichino and I handled just fine!! I say that because last two times I had a cappichino I went crazy, I could not stay still, and I was talking a mile a minute!!!

And these past few weeks we have been working on Layne & Sara’s house, getting ready for the twins, and Dad and I have been really been working hard, because mom and Brenny have been doing the painting, and dad and I have been doing stuff like splitting the one big room into two rooms, and Edgy and has been helping out!! Edgy did the framing for us, so Dad and I went and hung dry wall on Saturday and did a few more things!!

And Cahlen, Brenny and I have started puppets back up. And Cahlen and I are kind of in charge of it!!

And Sunday we had youth again, and it was cool to have youth again!! Something is just wrong when there isn’t youth!! And it’s the same with the bible! There is just something wrong when I don’t read my bible!!
But I didn’t like it because Layne had me read out loud, and I can’t stand to do that because it is out of my comfort zone!! And even though Layne is allways saying we need to step out of our comfort zone!! And it’s a lot harder then it seem’s, well atleast for me!!


Well I got to go, so bye
Conner,

To Minnisota And Back

Well our vacation started on Sunday after church, we left around 3:00 and got to minniapolis around 7:30-8:00 and I got to drive for 2 hours. And then we got to my uncle hoops and had Dinner and then went to sleep, and then in the morning we woke up at 5:30 and then left at 7:30 and drove for five hours, and I got to drive for 3 hours, and then my dad drove to the resort, and once we got to the resort it was 1:00 and we couldn’t chech in until 3:00 so brenny went swimming because they (the people who owned the resort) said that we could go and eat lunch on the beach, so brenny went swimming, and he swam to a floating dock and I tuck pictures of him. And they (the resort) had a canoe, a kayak so brenny and I took the canoe out to this island that was along way out there, and then brenny took the kayak out and then I did!! And that kayak is so much fun!! And then we got to get into our cabin and so we unpacked and then we went fishing and I caught 1 crappie and 2 northern pike, and the pike are so much fun, but the crappie fought hard!! And at the end of the day I was the only one that caught fish that day and the next day we woke up at 5:00 (on Thursday) and went fishing and I caught 3 more northern’s and then we went in for lunch and then went back out and need some bug spray so we went back and I decided to fish off the dock when they went and got the bug spray and I caught 1 more northern, and then we went back out and I lost my lure with a spinner on it because I found out that they were bitting on anything with a spinner on it!!! That I caught all my fish on, and then we went drifting and my mom caught 1. And then we weren’t and then my dad got one and it was the biggest one we caught it was 24 inchs and my dad thought there was a limit but at the lake we were at there was no limit on northern’s and we threw back all the one’s but the Crappie I caught, and it had a lot of meat on it. And on the next day we woke at 5:00 and went fishing again but caught nothing again, and when we came back everyone went inside and I kept fishing and and found our last spinner and put it on a fake a rubber fish and caught 4 more fish off the dock. But I lost the spinner. And the day before we went to a town and got another lure and that same day I lost it on some lilly pads and then the next day brenny was in the kayak and found the lure I lost. And then on Firday we went on a fun boat ride. And on Wedsday my dad let Brenny and I drive the boat, that was fun!! And Then on Friday we had to be out of the cabin at 9:00, so then we went back to my uncle hoops and then on Saturday we stopped at Cabela’s (I think that’s how it’s spelled) and stayed there for an hour, and on the way to the cabin we stopped at another Cabelas and at the first one (which is the second one I wrote about) there was a shooting range and that was fun!!
And I got to drive 3 hours home, all the way home from the second (that’s the first one I wrote about) cabela’s, we got some stuff at both Cabelas.

I will try to post some pictures of the resort on my next post!!

Well I got to, Brenny, Dad and I are going to go play some basketball.bye,

Just A Whats Up With Me

Well it has been along time since I last posted.
Well let’s see… since the last ime I posted I got an ipod Nano for my birthday, and it so rocks!! I use it everyday!! And since I last posted I went to those clases that talked about on my last post, and they were stupid, and so simple!!!
And since the last time I posted I got my permit and it is awesome, I got 5 days after my birthday because we had to get a new birthcertifacate and then we went and got it, and I only missed 6 but I should of only missed 5 because one of them was worded weird. And in my picture I look like a monkey!!! And my dad tried to get me to laugh, so I started to laugh and then really fast I had to straighten my face out really fast.
And right after I got my permit me and my dad went driving for 3 hours and the next dad I got to drive for 2 more hours. And tail-gaters are a pain in the but.
And the other day my dad finaly let me drive on the interstate and the trucks are freaky!!
And were going on vaction on Sunday (13th, I think) right after church, and my dad is going to drive until were out of Ames and then I get to drive from there on!!
O yeah were going to Minnesota, and go and see my moms uncle, for a couple of days and then go farther up state and stay on a in a cabin on a lake and do some fishing, that should be awesome!! I can’t wait fishing for three days and we plan on having a whole night of fishing.
And then were coming home Sunday morning, unpack and then go to church.
We will be so tired.
It will be kind of weird not being at church on Wedsday night.

O yeah and I found out that my name is spelled wrong!! my dad wanted my name to be spelled CONNER, but on my birthcertifacate says that my name is spelled CONNOR, so on my permit my handwriting is really bad because that was the first time i have ever spelled my name Connor McGinnis. But i'm still going to spell it CONNER.


Well I’ll try to post when we get back. Bye.

iweb

Well on Thursday (the 6th) we went over to Jeremy & Jessica’s house for dinner, and Jeremy made some killer pork loins (I think that’s what they were), it was so moist.
And on Thursday I went fishing at this pond that is behind us and I went over there and went fishing and caught four large mouthed bass but it was so cool because I could see the fish smiwwimg in front of me, I can’t wait for it to cool down so I can go back.

And then the next night (7th) we went over to the edgecombs for dinner and they made some awesome pork chops, it was fun, and they got some great stories.

Sunday was the pool party and that was fun, but after the pool party we went to the aquatics center that night and that was a lot of fun!! I love the red slide!! But the stupid thing is that the diving board was closed, and the diving board is my favorite thing.

And then on Tuesday I went to Cahlens for the night and day, we went swimming unttil 1:10.

And My Dad signed me up for these classes at the apple store (in two weeks). And the classes are for how to work iweb, (I’v never used I web). I wanted to do the classes on how to do imovie (I know how to us imovie just very fast) but it was all filled up.

Bye,

I'm So Glad I'm Homeschooled

Well on Saturday Layne, Brenny, Dad and I went golfing. And O man I got so mad a couple (a lot more than a couple) of times. But it was fun. I just love golf!!!
But the funny part is that my dad and I had the same score. And on Thursday Layne and Sara came over and watched Alex and Mariah open there Wedding presents. Kathy and Aaron came over to. But after they were done opening their gifts Layne, Alex, Dad, Brenny and I went outside and started hitting some golfballs and Layne sayed that I have the same form as my dad. So I thought it was pretty funny when he and I had the same score. And on every hole we had either the same number of hits or one away. But at the end of the day Layne had fifty. Brenny had fifty-five. And my dad and I with seventy.

On Sunday at youth we had a thing for the birthdays (and graduations) of this month and the last. But heres the funny part they forgot my birthday. And my birthday is this month!!!


On Monday my dad took a day off and we had a workday. So for our workday my dad and I dug out half of our small retaining wall about five feet down because it bowed out. And we did that all day. But I liked it because I got a good sweat. My dad thought I was going to pass out because my chest hurt.

On Tuesday (4th of July) Layne and Sara came over for lunch and then after lunch we went miniture golfing, or as some people call it “putt putt” and that was fun. Brenny won. He’s an awesome putter. I’m so much of a thinker, so I would go the wrong way just so I could use the hills.
And then we came home and for an hour and then went to Waukee for fireworks. They were cool but weren’t as long this year.
But before they started Dad, Brenny and I went to go get drinks at this like big group thing were all these people hang out. And when we were in line these teens got in line behind us and they were really loud. And when they were talking, they were talking about one this guys friends started going to church (I was like that’s cool) but now he can’t cuss around him, and he was saying these words that that he can’t say around him and these two girls (they totally reminded me of Lisa and Tahsa, because of how they looked, not because of what they were saying) that he was talking to were telling him words that he can use instead of cuss words and words with GOD in them.
And they were talking about all these partys and alcahol.
And latter we were talking about what they said, “ I am so glad that I’m homeschooled”
And when we were talking about where we went on the ride home, Dad and I both said that we felt like we were in an evil place because of all the alcohal and music, and all the people, and what the people were doing. It just felt wrong to be there.

But when we were there the guy said to the girls you two are short, and they said but were girls, and he said these to guys up here (me and my dad) are tall, the girls said “they look like giants to us” (that’s whhy they reminded me of Tasha and Lisa). That was awesome.


Hope to post soon.

Sunsets In Iowa

Well I’ll start on Friday. Friday Derick and Leslie (Alex’s friends from collage) came and stayed with us for the wedding, there cool. And that night was the rehearsal. And the food was awesome. And after rehearsal I took a picture of the sunset and there is an Eagle (Brenny thinks it’s a hawk, but I got in photoshop and looked at it.) it looks so cool.
And then the next day was the wedding, and that was cool and weird. And I hated wearing those cloths. I am not a dress a up kind of person!!!
And then on Sunday we went to a retirement party. And got rained on a lot.
And somebody hid behind Danial (my great aunts son. I don’t know what that would be)
And this somebody (I can’t remember who) said you’re a great shield (he’s wide and tall) and Danial said “yea, until I fart”, it was so funny.


Yesterday (Monday) we went fishing so we could have day to relax. At first we went to Badger and went there at 8:30 and stayed there till 11:30 and caught to fish two fish on bobbers and they were small sunfish so we decided to leave and got to the pond by beaver and when we got there we couldn’t fish there because there was grass growing out of the water, and there was a bunch of pieces of grass. So that was a no go. So then we went over to beaver on a jetty, and at this place there is a drop off. And when we get there my dad throws his pole out there with a bobber and he leaves to go get another pole ready (he allways has three poles) and I say “dad your pole” so he brings a small sunfish in and throws it back out there and he turns around again, and again I say “Dad, your pole”,
So Brenny grabs it and starts realling it in and it took probley five or seven minutes to bring it to were we could see what it was, and then we all yell “Catfish”. So my dad trys to bring it close to the bank, so he could grab it, but once it got in shallow water it just went crazy and started hitting its head on the rocks, and it just bit the line. And we even gave my dad a bucket so he could try and get him in the bucket it was too big to fit in this bucket. Man it was so long.
So then we all go to bobber to try and catch it again. And we weren’t getting anything on lures. But my dad did catch a 13 or 14inch bullhead. But other than that we just caught some small sunfish.
We went to that same spot two years ago and in that year we caught 4 Catfish and 3 Bullheads. And last year only one of each. But all in that same spot.
“So at the end of the day it wasn’t a bust but it wasn’t great fishing either”, that’s what my dad said. But I only caught one fish the whole day, but I had great fishing last time.
After we went fishing I came home and slept.

And I think I’m going paintballing on the 22nd for a father son thing Kevin Queener is setting up.


Here the sunset. I love posting pictures now that i know how to.




Well T2YL.

What A Weekend

Wow, I had a great weekend!!!
First on Saturday we went paintballing, and it was Layne, Alex, Dad, Brenny, Kevin, Josiha, Jesse Parker, Mark, Dan Allen and I.
And on the first game was Layne, Alex, Kevin, Dad and Dan. Against Jesse, Mark, Brenny, Josiah and I.
And on the first game it took along time to get back into my groove, so I run and hide in a bunker and then Brenny and Josiah come over and hide with me, and we’re trying to make a plan and Brenny almost shoots me in the head. And this whole time Dad and Dan are pounding us with paintballs. So we get a plan and Brenny runs and Dan shoots him, and then Josiah runs out and then back to me, so then I run and get shot out. Well we lost that one.
And on the second one, we did really good but still lost because Alex and Layne are really good and it was them against Jesse and Jesse is really good to, but alex and Layne won it for there team.
On the Third one Mark and I teamed up and guarded each other, and I took out my Dad and Dan, and Brenny and Josiah took Kevin out, and Mark got Alex or Layne out and Jesse got out, and some how we won with Mark, Josiah, Brenny and I, And then we won the Forth game to. And then we played a game called, Protect The President, and the object is to get the President (Kevin) with out having a gun, his secret sevice men (Layne, Alex, Dan and I) have to get the president from point A to point B, but we have to protect him from the assians (Jesse, Mark, Josiah and Brenny)(Dad sat this one out),
At the end we won!!! Layne and I were the only ones left at the end.
And then next game we played the same game but Layne, Alex, Dad and I were the assians, and every one else was secret service, we destroyed them, we took out all the there guys so Kevin ran for it and Alex was up on this two story bunker being a snipper, and when Kevin ran for it Alex destroyed him, Alex put a hole in his shirt, and made him do a flip, IT WAS AWESOME!!!! And evin if he would of got past Alex then my Dad was waiting for him!!
And then for the last game it was McGinnis vs everyone else, and we lost, but the ref cheated.
At the end of the fay Brenny almost shot me twice.
The weather was perfect!!!

We’re going back for my birthday, either late July or early August.


Well Yesterday we for Fathers Day we went Fishing out at Badger and I caught a 13inch bass and a huge, thick 16 1/2 inch bass. And then we came home and cleaned them, were going back some time next week, after the wedding!!!
But the worst part is that I lost the lure I was using.


Here they Are.

Bull's Eye

Well on Sunday Alex and I went and wasted some paint (paintballs) because I still had some Co2, and Alex had some paint so we went and wasted it.
So because I was in the mood, I asked Brenny if he wanted to waste some paint and he said “yes”, so we went and wasted it and then we decided to play a real game in the woods, so we each went and loaded up our hopper’s half way up, and then we went out side and got a good distance away from each other and then I said “go”. And I ran towards a tree where I could get down on my knee’s and still have a good open space were I could still see Brenny. And then I just opened fire on brenny, and he said “that they wure just flying right by his head. But then I ran out of paint. So we went and filled our hoppers up to the top. And we switched sides. And we wure both doing good. But then I bent down to hide, and let Brenny run out of paint. But then Brenny hit me in the arm but nothing broke. And then I think he hit me again, but it didn’t break, again. It was awesome. Then Brenny ran out of paint and came and begged for five paintballs and then I finaly caved in and gave him five paintballs. And I decided to stand out in the open and see if Brenny could hit me, and on his last shot he got me. Right in the thigh. But it barely broke!!!

I can’t wait to go paintballing on Saturday. I’m going to have a thousand paintballs once I get down there. I want to shoot Layne in the chest, because he says that he will not be hit that whole time that we are there. I hope it doe’s not rain when we go!!!

Well at the funeral the thing that helped me to get threw it was the fact that I get to see her in heaven. She was a great christian, she led so many people to the Lord!!!

Aunt Phillis

Well on Saturday I found out that my great Aunt Phillis died, and the day before my grandma called and said that her body was shutting down.
When my grandma called and said that she had died my Dad said “oo I’m sorry” and my grandma said, “I’m not, she’s in a better place”.
The worst part is that I thiink she starved her self because she wouldn’t eat, she would just spit it out, and one time her daughter Pam came to feed her, and she tasted her food to make shure that it wasn’t nasty, and so Pam tasted it and thought that it was good, and so she gave some to her (Aunt Phillis) and she didn’t spit it out so she (Pam) said “wow mom your doing good” so she gave her some more and then Aunt Phillis spit it all out. She had been storing it in her mouth like a squirrel.

So today is the thing before the funeral, and I was close with my Aunt Phillis so it might be hard for me.
But it was hard for me the last time I saw her, because she was so skinny and she didn’t have very minny teeth and she could barly talk.

She allways gave me state quarters every time she saw me, and she would collect silver dollars for me too.

One time when Aunt Phillis was younger she and one of her friends wure playing cards and her friend cussed and Aunt Phillis said if you ever cuss again I will wash your mouth out with soap, so later her friend let it slip again and Aunt Phillis grabbed her by the ear into the bath room and sat on her and washed her mouth out with soap. True story.


I can’t wait to see her in heaven!!!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Well it’s been along time, but I’m back. On Firday Cahlen came over and we hung out. And on Saturday it started out with us going to the Mens Meeting, and I did something that is WAY out of my comfort zone!!! And after the Mens Meeting I weed wacked, and my dad was the one who said “you should go weed wack”, so I did and when I was done he didn’t like it that I weed wacked in my good tenny shoes, and I said “you said I should go weed wack”. And I was doing it in the rain, and it isn’t a good Idea to weed wack in the rain when you’re sweating!!! I had a million bug bites. And then we went home and got ready to go to Mariah’s graduation cermony. And then to get some stuff for the Hog Roast, and then to Mariahs graduation reception, and hung out there for a while, and then went home.
On Sunday after church we came home and I slept for an hour, and then we went to the Hog Roast, and the food was good (like allways), but not a lot of people stayed because it was so hot, and after eating Cahlen, Alex and I played a game of football against 12 little kids (we did some good plays) And then when the both teams were tied (they got the first point) and they said that it wasn’t fare, we said that there was 4 of them for every one of us. Now I think that’s fare. So we got 2 got two of there players, and they got Tom, and it wasn’t fare then, so then we made a rule that Tom could not run the ball from the start.
And then we went over and played volleyball (I love volleyball), I’m not very good. I like being on Laynes team. I wish I could play it more.
And then later Cahlen had a bottle of water and would put water in the lid and dump it on people (teens), and then later to get Cahlen back, Leah, Lisa and Natasha dumped water and ice down his back. And then this whole thing (water war) broke out and some how I got in-volved with it. And they (Natasha) got me good because Cahlen was gone. But I’m going to get them back goo!!!!!!!
And on Monday we put up our pool, and got ready for the new floor.
And Last night we went and saw "Over The Hedge", that is an awesome movie if you have time to go see it, GO SEE IT.


Well that all I got, so bye.

Capture

Wow it’s been along time since the last time to post. I really haven’t had anyhting to post about, but now I do!!!

Well lets start on Friday, so Friday was the youth camp out, and Layne said that there was a pond there and I was like “sweet” So when I got there I went and threw my pole in and after about ten casts I caught a 13-14in bass but man it was a pain in the butt to get it out of the water, because I was in this really hard spot to fish, so after I caught the bass I moved over to a more open spot and then when I was casting my jig got caught in a tree and I lost my favorite jig.
Later in the night we played Capture The Flag and it was Kevin’s youth group vs ours, Layne, Alex and I were like the ultimate guards, and then we had Shane join our elite force, and we were the most ultimate elite force ever. So then after capturing 4 or 5 of there guys, Layne, Alex and I went out to get there flag, and we snuck all the way around the back of there flag, and then Alex and Layne find out that the game was over and didn’t tell me, so I snuck all the way down to 10-15 feet in front of every body and the fire and hear Layne talking so I come out of hidding, and then about 10-15min later Alex and Cahlen come out and say “where have you been” and so I told them. And that was the second time they did that because earlyer they couldn’t find me, and the whole time I was just up by the house.
Man I was tired that night, I just kept sitting in a chair and talking to Cahlen and then everybody would come over and sit by us, and that makes it hard to fall asleep, and a couple of times I tried to go to sleep and Cahlen kept knocking the chair over (he did it a couple of times) so finally I just layed on the ground. And then some time between 2:00 and 3:00 everybody went to sleep, and I was fine with that. I slept by the fire and so did Cahlen, and as Cahlen would everyone else came over there just because we were there, I think it was just because it was by the fire.
And at the camp out somebody took my pillow and used it, and then left it there.
But over all the camp out was a blast!!!


On Saturday I slept for about two hours and then that night Layne asked me if I wanted to go fishing and I was like “heck ya” but when we got there it wasn’t very good fishing I caught, 3 fish, and Layne caught 1, all of them were bass.
Layne's awesome to go fishing with, Layne allways makes me laugh, I mean it's impossible to not laugh with him.

Man it’s hot out, I want to put up our pool so bad, but because of all the stuff we’re doing (mostly wedding stuff, and some house re-modeling) I don’t think we will for a while

O man I took an awesome picture to day, I mean it is just so cool. I wish I knew how to post pictures so that I could show you, because I know most of you are probably saying, it probably sucks!!! But it doesn’t!! I made it the screen saver on the computer.

Well that’s all I got.

I love the rain!!!

WOW, it is so much fun to fish in the rain!!! Last night (Monday) Layne & sara came out, so Sara and my mom could do some wedding stuff and Layne asked me and Brenny if we wanted to go fishing and we said shure. So we packed up and we went to the pond that we allways go to. And when we got there, it started to sprinkle a little bit, and we said o the fish should be bitting, but they weren’t, so Brenny go’s to the other side of the pond, and then Layne pulls out a 13-14 inch bass and then Brenny pulls out a 11-12 inch bass. But then Brenny comes over puts it in this metel net thing, and tells us how he caught it, he was lifting up his shirt and doing some kind of a dance and song. Layne and me made so many jokes!!! We think the fish thought Brenny was submitting to the fish!!! And then me and Layne weren’t catching thing for while so we went over to the side that Brenny was on, (Because on Saturday Layne, Sara, Mariah, Alex and I went over to the pond and to the spot where Brenny was and we were catching them Ok) so we go over there, and then about 5min later it starts raining good and as soon as it doe’s Layne gets a fish and 2 seconds later I get a fish!!! And were gettinf them off and then Brenny gets a bit so were all getting them off I throw mine back out there and BOOM I got another one but as soon as I get it out of the water its mouth ripped (5 times that happened, Layne kept giving me crap that I lost five fish) and by this time it is raining HARD!!! Layne and I want to go the next time it rains!!!

We went fishing Thursday too and we had some Ok fishing, I had great fishing!!! I caught a 16-inch crappie it was BIG.
Saturday night was OK fishing.
