Cheyenne or Bust! (and some random stuff)

Tomorrow I am going to Cheyenne Wyoming! I will be going to the rodeo with my grandparents. After the rodeo, we will be driving to the MOUNTAINS! I am uper-d-duper excited! I will be gone on my birthday which is in three days! If you look at my profile, it says my birthday is Jane Austen's birthday. I am in LOVE with Jane Austen's books. I have read Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey. Right now I am reading Sense and Sensibility. Back to my trip, my cousin, aunt and Rebecca are also going on this trip. This is the second time I have gone to the rodeo with my grandparents but this time will be awesomer because my cousin Nickie is going! Finally! Please Pray that I will get there and back in 1 piece!
Love you guys! I will miss all of you!

An update

Here is an update of what has been going on since my last post.
-Luba had to go back to Russia on Monday. Here plane left very early in the morning. We all miss her a lot. The good news is that there is a family from Florida that is planing to adopt her. Yah! :)
-Jenna left for Honor Choir at Harding University in Sercy Arkansas. Tomorrow we are driving down to see her concert. After we will be going to Coldwater Mississippi to visit some of our friends the Gaines.When we get back on Sunday I will have like 2-3 days to get ready to go to the Cheyenne Wyoming Rodeo with my grandparents, cousin and aunt, and Rebecca. I will be gone on my birthday, July 24th. We will be getting back on Wednesday night, hopefully before 6:00 pm so that I can help with our 1st day of VBS at our church. VBS will be from Wednesday night to Saturday night from 6:00-8:00 pm. On Saturday night starting at seven is an English Country Line Dance in Rolla. And Hopefully we can still go to that. And to top it all off, I am going to camp that Sunday. This year I am going to 2 weeks of camp because our minister from our church is also directing one. And since it is in August and so close to school I have herd that not many people will be going. Oh well, we will still have a good time.
I think that was a good update of all that has been going on, plus a lot of babysitting and mowing for me. I hope all of you are having a good summer. I know I am! And as Dr. Seuss says “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

Today is so hot. I don't feel like doing anything but sit inside in the air conditioner. I think I will go read a book. Know I just need to think of a book to read. I should go read Sense and Sensibility. I need to finish it before I go to camp. I will go work on it.

The 4th

On the forth of July we had the Nisbetts over for dinner, swimming, and volleyball. We also set off 2 parachutes and 2 rockets that my dad got for us for Christmas. The 2 rockets flew into our neighbors tree. Josiah began to climb the tree to get it down. We had to get the pool pole to get it down. Right as he got it down, they shot off the other one and it got stuck in an other tree. John climbed that tree to get it down. After that we had my dad's homemade strawberry ice cream. it was amazing. Then Jenna and I went to see fireworks in Cuba with the Nisbetts. Here are some pictures from the night. Fireworks

And more fireworks.

And more fireworks.

Cousins Camp

Every year around July all of my cousins come to my grandparents house for a couple days. This week cousins camp is from sun. to Wens. Some of my cousins live in Montana so this is one of the only times we get to see them. We all usually stay at my grandma and grandpas but, since Luba is here each night one of us girls are staying home with her. Last night was my night and I can't wait to get to my grandparents! This year we are going to have a lot of fun I hope. This is a great time to have family bonding. I better go. See Ya!

P.S. I will try to update ya'll on my 4th of July, and post pics later!

Hello everyone! As I said before, Luba is here. As she can not speak English, we have gone to a website that will translate for you. It is a lot of fun to write something and have it translate different. We are all having a fun time with her. Please keep praying!

Happy Forth of Juy!

Luba is here!

Cardinals Game

My family went to the Cardinals game last night and it was awesome! They won 5-2 . They scored 3 in the 1st inning! We all had a great time. We wanted to get autographs, but the guys that get the foul balls came and said to go sit down. Oh well, We still had an awesome time! Here are some pictures from the game.
