Young again!

Before I get started, I'd just like to say, I know some of these pictures of silly and funny looking, but what can I say, that's what we looked like back then.

A couple of weeks or so ago, Dad pointed out at how fast we were all growing up. He mentioned how he wanted to be young again. That is so true! We all have grown up so fast. Now that Amber is married and having her own kid, I've realized just how fast time flies. It was just like yesterday that we use to all live together.

So, I guess the only way to show how fast memories fade, is to post a couple of pictures from our times together. I found a couple of sillier (?) ones, but I decided not to post them.

After putting so much thought into this, I decided that yes, it's time to be young again, and start enjoying the time we have together now and the time we will have together for eternity.

Christmas Decorating

I am finally on my Christmas Break and I am able to get caught up with all the things we have done recently. We put up our Christmas tree not to soon after Thanksgiving. We got very festive and even put up our Christmas lights. We were one of the only people on our street to put up lights at this time, but it was that big of a deal. Everbody else had problems because of all the snow we got after that. We did it while it was still a clear blue sky. These pictures are all from Christmas decorating around the house. We had so much fun! It was so exciting to get the Christmas decorations out and all.

Amber and Ryan came last night. Their flight was delayed about 3 hours. We got home at about 2 am when they finally got in. It was so much fun to see them again. Well, I will tell more later.

VooDoo

So, Mike had another band concert, and this one was... what's the word(s)... OFF THE HOOK!!! They did this awsome piece called VooDoo!It was absoultely amazing. Mike did an amazing job. They also did The Phantom of the Opera, but I probably won't put it on here. In the middle of the song a girl screamed in the middle, but we missed it on the recorder by like a second, too bad you can't rewind time. It would have been awesom, my brother says they added that part though. By the way, all the extra noises are either on their instruments or they actually made them.

Cooking Mishap

The cookies

The Bowl

Yesterday, Stephanie went babysitting and was gone all afternoon. As a favor we decided to make her cookies that she would need today, Sunday, for her branch she goes to. Dad told mom and I to triple the batch so we would have extras for us, so we did. Dad and Michael were downstairs and never realized how big of a bowl we had to get out to cook. We started in a smaller normal size cooking bowl, but then we had to get the big metal stirring bowl out to miz all the ingredients. We transfered the 12 cups of sugar and brown sugar and crisco to the bigger bowl and continued. We used a dozen eggs and now we don't have many eggs left in our fridge. We had to go buy more vanilla so we could finish. We thought about starting over, but then thought "no because we were so far along." We finished and started baking. We were up late watching Hairspray and Star Wars episode 6 Return of the Jedi. We never finished the cookies and ended up freezing a lot of extra cookie dough. Dad later told us that he was just kidding about tripling them, but he was a little too late! The picture above doesn't even include the leftover cookie dough. ANYBODY WANT COOKIES?
