Bye for a little while.

Well, I just wanted to post and say that I will be taking a break from blogging for a little while.
My Grandma is having a few surgeries and we'll be going to Las Vegas off and on so I won't have time to post.

Feel free to come and check in every once in a while, I'll be back in a few weeks or a couple months at least.
Thank you for reading my blog, posting your comments, and giving me encouragement.

Bye for a little while.

Love,
Brianna.

N and J

Today was freezing cold, we had a social worker come over and it rained. That's pretty much it.
Exciting , I know. :)
Anyway, I thought since I hadn't put up pictures of N and J yet, I would do that today, since nothing really interesting happened. Well, J has his first tooth growing in, and N showed me how she does handstands(there's a picture below).





N and J playing outside.













Here it is, she was very proud of herself for doing this! And she thought it was funny that I couldn't do it. Hysterical, I know. :)












J's little feet. He likes to hold his bottle with them.
It's pretty cute!












N playing on a scooter. That's one of her favorite things to do.












Here he is again! J's really not that red, the camera just took the picture that way.










N playing on the scooter again. She was trying to see if she could spot the peacock the neighbor across the street has. I tried to get a picture but he(or she, we're not really sure)wouldn't move from behind the bushes. I think Brooke might have one on her picture blog though.











J in his bouncer. He likes chewing on the little fish that dangle on there











Anyway, American Idol, Smallville, and Dancing with the stars all ended till the fall, I don't know what I'm going to do at night now! :) I might have to read instead! :)
I better go. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Sunburned :(

Ahh!!! I have really bad sunburn!

Today was the last day of P.E.(sniff) We played softball and I played first base the whole time so I was standing in one place for a long time and it was really windy and sunny and I got so burnt! :(

My team did win though, 22 to 13!

I thought there was sunscreen in the car so I ran out the door to get in the car before P.E. and we took off to go and we were about half way there when I realized, no sunscreen!

Yeah so I pretty much look like a cherry or a strawberry or whatever you want to call it. I'm pretty tan so usually I don't get that bad of sunburn. But today I did. It's hurting to type so I'm making this short. Well, that's the plan anyway, who knows.

David Cook won American Idol!!!!!!!

I thought David Archuleta was going to win. I was so shocked when they announced David Cook's name! He is better though.

My Grandma's here on her way to Las Vegas to see her brother.
She's leaving her dog B.J. He's a pug. I'll post a picture of him. He's pretty cute. He looks like a moose compared to Chessie!

Anyway, I better go, it's late and my arms are on fire.

My uneventful day. :)

Today, we sang in the choir at church, thankfully we got there on time! We all woke up on time too!

It's funny, I don't know what it is, but for some reason, I always wake up about 10 to 15 minutes before our alarm clock goes off. It's kind of annoying though because I could use that 10 to 15 minute sleep.

Yeah, and I got out of bed this morning, it was still dark by the way, and I tripped and fell.
Luckily I didn't fall on anything. My foot got caught in the pant leg of my pajamas and down I went(hey, I have big feet, sometimes I don't know what to do with them!).

Our garbage disposal practically exploded last night. Well, I guess it didn't explode, it wasn't draining so all the water dangerously close to flooding the house. It started running down the sink and Brooke and I(at 10:00 at night when we should have been sleeping to get up in 7 and a half hours)had to take pots and pans and go dump water outside. Luckily we called our friend who's a plumber and between him and my dad they got it working earlier tonight.

Then because we had no sink and couldn't wash the dishes we went to Subway to get dinner.
They were out of everything including my favorite bread, Italian herbs and cheese, so I had to get this honey out bread which actually wasn't that bad.

Anyway, I guess I'm done ranting, if I think of anything else I'll come back and edit it in. :)

Well, it's late and I need my sleep(I know it says like 8 something at the bottom, but that was when I first started this post. Now was the time I could finish it and it's 10:57 to be exact. Just to clear things up that I don't go to bed around 8!).

See ya!

It's summer. :(

Ugh. It's so hot!
I don't understand, a couple of weeks ago it was pretty cold, now, all of the sudden, bam!, it's summer. I hate summer. Well, I guess I don't hate it. I like certain things about it. Like pool parties, all the fruit being in season, cuter clothes, oh yeah, and the Dry Town water park opens up where we live.
But I'd much rather be freezing then boiling.

If you're cold, you grab a blanket from the closet and curl up on the couch.
Being hot is more uncomfortable. I mean hosing yourself off outside can only last for so long.

Unless you're one of the lucky ones who gets blessed by having a pool. I'm no one of those people. :(

Anyway, I guess I should stop complaining now :).

Tomorrow we have to wake up at 5:15 to go to choir practice at church before the service starts.
I hope in my delirium I don't walk out of the house without my music or something! Pray for me! :)

Pictures.

Well, since nothing really exciting or interesting enough happened the last few days to post about, and since I finally know how to put pictures up on here(go Brooke!), I thought I would post some random pictures of my family.






This is D. She likes her tummy!
This is also when her hair was long. Her mom chopped it off. Now she really looks like Dora the Explorer. :)










Me in our backyard tree. This is the picture on my profile.












My awesome mom!













Brandon, Brooke, and me after we came home from P. E. and decided to take a run in the sprinklers. This was a couple of years ago by the way so Brooke is a couple of inches taller now.
Oh yeah, and Brandon's slouching, he's really about 5 inches taller then me.



















My house last winter.














Brandon flying D up in the air last year.
Sorry, funny view, but I can't really show her face!








My mom and D when she was just learning to walk.
And our entire Little House on the Prairie dvd collection!













My dog, Chessie. Got to love her.









I just finished teaching a piano lesson, and Brooke, Brandon, my mom, and J abandoned me while they went to pick up something at Cosco so I'm all alone in the house. I never know what to do when I'm home alone, usually I just pop in a Smallville and wait. Now I'm posting and trying to find some food, I'm starving! Well, not really, but close. :)
Anyway, I gotta go.

~Brianna
Sorry, I know there's giant spaces, but I have no idea how to fix them without deleting the pictures, so I have to wait till Brooke gets home.

Random things about me........

I know Brooke just did a list about her too, but I'm going to one about me. Nothing really big happened this weekend, you know, the usual, church P.E. piano lessons. Oh yeah, one big thing, we get to keep J for a while now! His grandparents aren't taking him(it's a long story) so he gets to stay with us. For the time being anyway.


Here's some stuff about me.

1. I wear a size 12 shoe(yeah, really annoying)

2. I'm 6 feet tall(I've mentioned this before)

3. I hate the color pink

4. My favorite color is blue

5. I'm allergic to Advil and Penicillin

6. When I was 4 I was playing hide and seek with Brandon and I tripped and
broke my big toe and had a hot pink(I liked pink when I was 4)cast up past my knee for 6 weeks
(I even had little crutches and everything!)

7. I've never been stung by a bee

8. I have long curly brown hair

9. I've been hit in the head with a softball more times then I can count

10. When I was around 10 or 11 I had this fascination with tornadoes. Then later when I saw the movie Twister it all ended and I thanked God we lived California. :)

11. I've dislocated my right wrist 3 times.

12. I can't stand Hawaiian pizza . There's something about cooked fruit that doesn't appeal to me.

13. I love to bake

14. I don't understand why Brooke doesn't like pie crust, it's my favorite. :)

15. I love playing basketball and softball.

16. When I was 6 I hit my head on the window sill by our couch and got 4 staples in my head.
My mom said I only shed 1 tear. So as you can probably tell, I'm a little disaster prone!

17. I can reach across 10 keys on the piano.

18. I own a grand piano. It was a gift from my Grandma.

19. I can barely do anything on the computer or anything else that plugs in or is run by batteries.

20. When I was younger I used to read the minimum of 6 books at once.

Anyway, there it is, I have to go get ready for choir practice. Bye!
