The Hockey Game :D

As I told you all in one of my posts we had plans to go see a hockey game. Well we went...and had a great time (well...at least I did)! And as promised I did take pictures...a lot of pictures. So here you go and ENJOY!

Look who was my hockey spectator for the first few minutes of the game. The one the only...IZZY! (I absolutely love her! BTW: notice anything in my hair. Those are my feathers!)

OK...Texas Stars is on the left...and Milwaukee is on the right...and the referee is in the middle (sort of). We all had a great time!

...so did Izzy...she loved to watch the guys push each other around on the ice (so did her 16 year old sister :D)

This just gives you an idea on how many people actually came to the game. I wanna say it was like 5,923 (or something like that)!

Those are all the pictures I'm going to post...sorry everyone.

Happy Easter!

More pictures {heeheehee}

I know I've post A LOT of pictures, but I got a new camera from my grandma, so I've been playing around with it :D You know how it is...you get a new camera and it becomes your new best friend. OK...well maybe only for me. Anyhoo...enjoy all these pictures [grin]

Sydney has become a BeAuTiFuL young lady of the Lord!

Mari loves to be around Sydney 24/7!

Sydney loves to smell the Lord's beautiful handy-work (OK I admit this picture was posed...but it turned out descent).

Toby loves God's handy-work too...he had just caught the poor butterfly. Luckily I was able to save his "captive" (praise God)!

I love the face she's making in this picture!

Sydney takes picture taking very seriously!

I told her to act goofy...oh the faces 5 year-olds can make at a camera

I'm not sure if I like this picture...I think I do. Let me know what you think

Notice anything cool about this shot...(hint: look inside my ring) Tell me what you see

We were at a pizza place and I was bored. Now luckily I had my camera, a clean napkin, and a pen. Those three can create a result like this picture :D

This picture is for you all...notice anything in my hair? I'll try to get better pictures up on here soon, but this will have to do for now.

*Have a great Wednesday night!*

PICTURES!!

OK...I know there aren't any pictures of my new hair-do, but there are pictures of what's been happening in our family lately :D Don't worry I'll get the hair pictures on here SOON!! But for now...ENJOY :D

These are the flowers my dad bought for me

My friends and I had to make banana splits with our FEET!!

My friend Kassi was in control of the ice cream

Even though Kassi's feet was in the ice cream container...that didn't stop HUNGRY teenagers :D But the three of us LOADED the ice cream with pecans, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream...YUMMY! (Far left to far right: Hanna, me, Kassi)

Since Kassi, Hanna, and I were the 1st place winners we decorated our feet. Hanna's is on the far left, mine is in the middle, and Kassi's is on the far right.

I had the BEST 16th birthday EVER! We had some friends over and the we all went to the park in our neighborhood...well all except our parents :D

This is my friend Rick...Izzy loved to be around him.

Rick's sister was burying her twin brother

We had dinner with my dad's aunt and uncle who live in England. For dinner we took them to the Magic Time Machine in San Antonio.

This is what our waitress (who happened to be Dora the Explorer) did because it was my birthday (well that night my birthday was 3 days away).

Look what happened to Sydney the day after my birthday! She wiped out pretty bad on her scooter and mildly fractured her growth plate.

*Hope you all have a blessed Monday!*

A HUGE picture post

I know, I know these are a lot of pictures to look at, but I just wanted to be nice and share some of my favorite pictures of Sydney with you :D  ENJOY [grin]

This was another one of Sydney's "super-model" pictures

 Dad and Sydney walking toward our picnic table at the park.  Dad just got a new job, and was thrilled to wear nice work clothes.

Sydney on the tire swing at the park, she has gotten so BEAUTIFUL :D

 Sydney was trying to figure out how to get up to the monkey bars

 Once she got up she was insistent on getting across to the other side 

 OK I admit this WAS POSED, but who cares?  It turned out pretty cool!

 Sydney was trying to get off the tire swing, but was stuck...I just love her face :D

 She's still trying to get off...she didn't even ask for help!  She has such an independent personality 

 My mom, OK I stole this idea from Sam :p  Thanks Sam for the awesome picture idea!

Toby and Sydney just LOVE each other, I just love this picture of them

 Toby loves getting his face scratched...he is an absolutely cutie!

I got this picture if she is enjoying school...can't you tell she absolutely enjoying it?

AWESOME...you made it to the end of the post!

*I hope and pray that you all have a wonderful Wednesday!*

Upcoming posts:

• my sixteenth birthday
• Psalm 27
• Amber and Kellyn's anniversary

plus a whole lot more!

Blessings,

Photo shoot fun

About 3 days ago, Sydney and I had a whole lot of sister fun.  I put make-up on her, did her hair in the only hairstyle I can do with her hair...until it's long again.  Then she put on the dress that Amber sent her (she LOVES that dress), then I took a few pictures with our mom's camera.  I thought I'd share a few of the pictures with you, hope you enjoy them.

 Sydney loved the fact that she was able to pretend to be a super model!

I think she took it too seriously :)

 This is my absolute FAVORITE!! 

 Sydney was so excited that she was able to wear make-ups (she basically wears it to the Daddy/Daughter dance which is once a year).

*I hope you all have a blessed weekend!*

Hugs from Texas,

Household Happenings ~ 3

Hey everyone! Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm still alive. I haven't been blogging much because Amber came down on Tuesday, and will be here until next Wednesday. But here is what we've been up to:

1. Spending time with Amber while she's here
2. Getting picture outfits ready for the coast tomorrow (I'll post the pictures of Amber, me, and Sydney)

I'm sure there are more happenings that I can't think of right now. Tomorrow Dad, Mom, Amber, Gabriela, Sydney, JC, Justin, and I will be taking a trip to the coast. While we are there my mom will be taking mine, Amber, and Sydney's pictures. So I will be posting all the pictures we take tomorrow some time soon.

Hugs from Texas,

~*Alisha~*

Some exciting news!

Wednesday Mom and I were gettting some lunch when Amber called, now Amber seems to only call Mom when Mom is about to talk to some one or if she is going through the drive thru. Any way when Mom answers the phone she asks Amber what is going on. And all I hear is Mom gasp and ask "You're what?" Any guesses on what she told Mom?

If you guessed Amber's pregnant...you're RIGHT!!! Mom and Dad will be grandparents!! Sydney and I are so excited to finally become Aunt Ali and Aunt Sydney :D Amber is two months along and is due June 20, 2011! I am already counting down the days!!

On November 17, Kellyn & Amber will be visiting for Thanksgiving! We will be taking family pictures, so I will be posting the pictures sometime early December, because we are also going to Richardson, TX to visit my dad's parents for Thanksgiving weekend!

*Have a great weekend!*

Hugs from Texas!

A prayer request: Amber

Last Saturday or Sunday Amber got into a bad car accident. Not sure what happened really, but I know she is at home, nothing was broken, she just got pretty banged up. She and Kellyn may not be coming in November (we'll have to wait and see). I'll keep you updated on her progress. Thank you all for your prayers!

A bloggin' friend,
Alisha

Happy Birthday Amber!

Awesome
Magnificent
Beautiful

Amber~
Happy Birthday sis! May your special day be filled with joy, laughter, blessings, & love! I love you!
