Hello,

Well a lot has happened since I last wrote. For starters Shelby and I have been sick off and on for the last couple of weeks. There is about 6 different things going around in our area and just when we would get better from one we would get another. Plus the really cold weather doesn't help either. Oh and we are supposed to be getting rain all day for the next 3 days. That's not going to be good combined with the cold weather and people getting sick. But aside from that we have been doing good. Shelby and I feel much better now. I still have a little bit of a stuffy nose and Shelby has a little bit of a sore throat, but we are doing much better.

The White Christian Revival Center had a youth get-together one Saturday this month. It was so much fun! It started at 3:00 pm on Saturday at the bowling alley in Harrison. We had about 30 kids come. It was a blast. I didn't do too well though. I had only bowled once before, so I was horrible. lol. I got to see some people I hadn't seen in a while. I brought my video camera there and got my grandpa bowling for the first time. lol. He did much better then me. My aunt Anna actually got first place on her team. My friend Ashley got first place on our team. I got last.

After we had bowled for a while we all went over to Pizza Hut and just sat around and talked while the kids played together. Of course the kids loved the pizza. :) . We are planning to do a church youth get together every month. I can't wait for the next one. It's going to be this coming Saturday at our church. We are going to watch a movie and have a taco bar. Yum. I can't wait!

My little cousin Caleb had his birthday party this month. He turned 2. YAY! We had some family that came in from Arizona that got to come to the birthday party. I hadn't seen them in a while. It was nice to see them again. Jason (Caleb's dad) got a special Spongebob cake for Caleb's bday. It was so cute! The cake even had a really good whip cream frosting. So it looked just as good as it tasted! He had the birthday party at Pizza Hut. Everybody likes pizza. Caleb got some nice clothes and some noise makers. lol. Of course he could care less about the clothes, but they are still cute on him. :) .

Shelby went to the Songs For His People Conference a couple of weeks ago. It is a Christian Identity conference and there were about 250 people there-including some really great bands. She said it was a lot of fun. I went last year but I was at a friend's house for the weekend this time. Shelby went with my uncle Jason, my grandpa, my mom, dad and little brother. She said there was some really good music. And she got to meet some new people. They went and ate out afterwards. She had a blast! I had a lot of fun over the weekend too. I got to spend the whole weekend with a good friend of mine. We did some cooking and cleaning. We played with her kids a bunch. I love kids. We couldn't play out side much because it was really cold, but we had a bunch of fun inside. We watched movies and ate chocolate. I had so much fun. I can't wait to go back some time soon.

I have started giving guitar lessons to a friend of mine every Friday. I think she's going to do very well with the guitar as long as she keeps practicing, which I'm sure she will. I went into town last Friday and helped her pick a guitar out. She didn't really know what too look for. We got an awesome looking guitar and I made sure it sounded very nice too. She wanted one that looked cool and I wanted to make sure she got one that was good quality and sound. We got the perfect one. So anyway I'm going to enjoy teaching her for an hour every week. I will be doing the teaching during our weekly home school youth day which is sponsored by the White Christian Revival Center.

So we are back to the present day now. lol. It's Wednesday and I'm going to make a Triple Chocolate Moose cake for church this Sunday. I think it's going to taste very good. At least I hope so. My dads birthday is this Monday. He's going to be 41. We are having a birthday party for him Monday night. My mom is making him home made enchiladas. Yummy! My sister's birthday is coming up march 9th. We haven't planned when the birthday party will be, but it will be soon. My grandma always takes Shelby and I out around our birthday for a girls day out. Shelby is looking forward to it. She gets to go to Branson and shop around and have lunch at her favorite Italian restaraunt. Later after she's tired from shopping she goes some where for dessert. Of course, I get to go with her, but I don't buy anything. I'm just there to tell her what not to buy. lol.

So that is what has happened so far this month and what is coming up. I Hope everybody is doing great. I'm going to do some more school work now. bye.
