Aaron's Birthday

So the other day we had Aaron's 13th birthday. He got some pretty cool stuff. Tyler and his girlfriend, Meghan came over for his birthday. They got him a paintball gun and all the gear that goes with it. He was pretty excited about that. Jon and Leisha got him a picture of a Texas jersey and football signed by a Texas player, Dale Willis and tickets to see the movie Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. Then my parent's got him tickets to go see an Atlanta Thrasher's hockey game and a pair of basketball shoes since he just recently made the middle school basketball team. Although he did inherit a pair of basketball shoes from one of his friends right after mom and dad bought him the other shoes. So he just took the ones mom and dad bought back to the store and got the money instead. He also got a Texas Longhorns hoodie. Anyway we all had alot of fun celebrating Aaron's birthday.

Crazy Bike Race

So last night I went and hung out with a few of my friends from church. Well our plans kind of messed up so we ended up going to walmart....the local hangout. :) Well....Nikki(my bff) and I decided to have a little kid bike race. I had the smallest bike that I could barely fit in. Well I had a friend video the race so I hope you enjoy! We all had a good laugh.

Singin Katherine

So I sometimes get to watch Katherine (our neighbors daughter) and she loves to jump on the bed and sing songs that I play on the computer. I've been trying to get a video of her singing because it's just so darn cute! She's 2 1/2 and she knows mosst of the words to the songs Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings (thanks to me), All Star by Smashmouth (thanks to shrek), and Shake It by Metro Station (I dont know where she got this one). Well here are a few videos I got of her singing these songs. It's way cute!! Enjoy!!!!

"All Star"-Smashmouth :)

"Check Yes Juliet"-We The Kings :)

"Shake It"-Metro Station

These are so cute!! I just had to share them with everyone. Throughout all these videos she kept saying, "We can jump on the bed!!!" It was really funny. I tried to get her to dance but she only did so much...I'll take what I can get. :)

Stake Conference

This past Sunday we had the opportunity to attend Stake Conference. We were very lucky to have an apostle of the Lord come and speak to us. We heard from a lot of different people who did excellent but we were able to hear from Elder D. Todd Christofferson. It was so amazing to see an apostle standing before us and speaking directly to us. It was a wonderful experience.

We all sat as a family....except Leisha. She went a couple of rows up and sat with Jon and his family. And of course Elder Christofferson comes and shakes peoples hands. Well lucky Leisha and Jon got that luxury....YES...they shook the had of an apostle of the Lord!!! How amazing that would've been!! Later I went to the restroom and found Leisha in there. She looks at me and says, "I don't want to wash my hands." We all thought that was pretty funny. It was a wonderful experience and we are truly grateful for the prophet and his apostles who lead and guide us in these latter days.

Happy Halloween

Jon's Birthday

Oct. 8th is Leisha's boyfriends (JON) birthday. He was turning the BIG 25!!! Unfortunately candles only come in boxes of 24. So we had to use a match for the 25th candle. :) A couple of days ago mom, Leisha and I went out and got him a present. Well...Leisha got him a present. She bought him a mini fridge. I know crazy...but that's what he wanted. Caitlin and Chris got him stuff from that show The Office. They got him magnets and stuff to put on his fridge. Leisha also got him some stuff to put in his fridge, along with tickets to an Atlanta Thrashers hockey game. As you can see he loved it. :) It's a pretty big fridge too...2.7 cubic feet! Leisha and mom made him a dinner; roast, potatoes, fruit and of course a birthday cake. :) Leisha made that whole cake by hand!! No box cake or anything.

We all had a great time. He can pull some pretty weird faces. :) We also had Kyrie, Fabian and Katherine Zender over (Caitlin's Sister is Kyrie).

I even tricked Katherine (she's 2 years old) to say Happy Birthday to Jon really loud. We all enjoy having Jon around...sometimes. Just kidding.

When Jon went home Leisha and I helped him with putting his new fridge in his truck. Well..I think he was debating on strapping it in with the seat belt. :)

Ok..so apparently we need pictures because our site is a little boring. :) so I'm going to try this out. These arent recent pictures though.

During the summer we visited the Ocoee River. This is where everyone likes to do water rafting. So here is a picture taken of course by the amazing Dave!! No we dont know these people!! :)

We thought these were pretty cool pictures. This is the Olympic Park run so you can stand on the side where the rocks are and watch all the people go by. There were a couple of boats that would come to this point in the river and go into the dip sideways and people would fall out. They had guides on the side watching with ropes handy just in case.

They even had kayakers doing this run. It was really amazing to see that. They are so talented. We love to water raft and things like that so we thought this would be a really fun day trip. :)

Our first blog

Ok...so this is our very first blog. So if anyone has any tips then feel free to help us out. I (Beth) will be doing the blogging because I have so much time on my hands. :)

So this past friday Dad had corporate night for Lockheed Martin at Six Flags over Ga!!!!(Only certain companies and their families were invited so the lines werent long.) We were very excited about it. The tickets were discouted and the parking was free! It was from 6 pm to 12 am. Me, Leisha, Aaron, Mom and Dad all went along with Leisha's boy Jon. We decided before hand to make a plan on how to do the least amount of walking and the most riding. So we started at the very back of the park. So our first ride of the night was....du du du du!!!.....the SUPERMAN!!!!! Aaron got a little chicken so he didnt ride with us the first time. It was amazing!!! Me, Leisha and Jon rode together and Mom and Dad rode together. Needless to say it was kinda short so we rode it again. Mom and Dad finally convinced Aaron to ride and he loved it of course! So by the time we had gone through the whole park we still had 3 hours to go!! So we went through the park all over again. We decided to do Thunder Mountain, which is a water ride. So me and Aaron conspicuously picked a seat where we thought wouldnt get wet. Well we got lucky and got completely soaked!! I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt so that wasnt very comfortable for the rest of the night. Towards the end of the night we wanted to ride the Batman again but it was closed so we went to the GOLIATH again. This is the biggest one in the park. Its almost a 90 degree fall on the first hill! So we did that one. It was me, dad, leisha, and jon. By this time mom was a little sick and aaron was too chicken for this ride(I dont blame him!! it was very intimidating). So, we loved it and decided if we ran we could get in one last ride before the park closed. Well this time we wanted to be the first car!! So we got the first car on the very last time they would run the ride!!! This ride you have a thing that pulls down in between your legs...so your sitting down. Well we get up to the first hill and was that a rush or what!!!!??? It was amazing!! And it feels like that ride goes on forever!! We had a great time. Before we rode the rides we made a deal that we would have our hands up on every single ride no matter what!! Well...in the end me and dad were the winners!!!!! YEAH!! :)

Needless to say we didnt get any pictures. :( We had a great time though. We didnt get home until almost 2 in the morning!!
