First day of school

So we started school yesterday, I still haven't totally made up my mind if I like high school much or not, but I guess I'll have to give it a chance.

This was yesterday morning

Time for School

We will be going back to school in 2 days now. I haven't totally decided if I'm excited or not yet, but we will know soon enough. I will be at the High School this year and I'm looking forward to that. We have gotten a lot of school shopping done but will probably have to take one more trip. But these are some of the sweet buys we did get:

My Backpack

My Watch

My Ring

 My Jeans

  My Lunchbox

There is nothing like back to school bargains:)

The Freshman Project

This morning I got up and went to a meeting for "The Freshman Project". We will be handing out bibles to our peers throughout the year. I ask for your prayer that the more hesitant ones would have open hearts and minds about the whole thing.
My good friend Angel, who started the project, will be helping me, we have been buddies since we were little kids:)

 

Bringing Back Some Memories:)

We have been going on a major cleaning streak and along the way we found lots of great old pictures, I never realized how cute of a little kid I was until now:)

My hair at 2 is exactly like it is now, just thinner:) 

My Addiction

All these days while I have been sitting around at home i have been watching Little House on the Prairie re-runs:) I have always been a big fan of the show but since I have had all this time I have just gotten wrapped back into it.  Most people like the sweet happy ones, but the major dramatic ones are my favorite:)

4th of July Weekend

Well we have a tradition that we do on 4th July, we go to my aunt and uncle's house and celebrate the 4th of July and Daddy's birthday. This year, we also celebrated Uncle Tracy's birthday. Daddy got two grills(gas & charcoal) for his birthday; they are nice. We had a great time at the Alexander's.....we swam, ate and played a very dramatic game of Phase 10.

Before you even ask, Uncle Tracy got a new, gross Alabama towel for his birthday.....

These are my cute hamburger cupcakes - they are cupcakes (cut in half) with a brownie in the middle.

Can't you just feel all the intense vibes in the room at the middle of this game?

And this is last year, when we got a item (a.k.a: a watermelon) -

 that isn't meant to be a pool toy - and turned it into.....a pool toy!

This year our entertainment (suggested by Uncle Tracy) was a barrel,

which is actually a lot more entertaining then you would think!

                                      

We usually leave from there and go to Wetumpka to watch the fireworks show on the river,

but this year Dad and I convinced Mom to let us get some fireworks to do on our own.  :)

That was great; and no need to worry, it was just a few small un-dangerous things.

It was a great day of food, family, and fun. I hope your was just as Great!

Father's Day

This Father's day at church our praise band "Ephesus" performed once again at church for the first time in a while.

And then we came home and had presents with my awesome daddy then went out to eat for dinner.

(Just in case you are wondering you can"t see his face but that s trooper by daddy's head)

It has been a crazy month and I haven't made much time for blogging but I hope y'all haven't given up on me:)

Our Easter Weekend

Okay, we are sitting in the house with terrible torandos all over the state, so since I have nothing else to do I will shall blog:)First I am going to stop titling my posts by days because I obviously don't update it daily. So started our Easter weekend going to Prattville to see my aunt, uncle, and two cousins(one of which being Lindsy from Texas) then went to a good Friday service.

Then Sunday we got up at 5:30am to go to our church's sunrise service.

Then they had the kids egg hunt then church again.

                                     We had our wonderful family Easter celebration after church 

We then came home and opened our Easter basket's that we hadn't had time to do previously and then I was thrilled to find these :)

Hope everybody else had a good Easter weekend too!

Day 31

I haven't really had anything to put on the blog in a while, not much has really happened. I still don't have anything to put on here, so I just wanted to let everybody know I was still okay :) 

Hope everybody has a great week!

Day 30

We are are on our spring break this week and have mostly been resting, but yesterday my friend Angel and I got four 9 week old great pyraneese puppies from the humane shelter and took them to the nursing home to visit the patients there. They were acually the cutest puppies I have ever seen, but to be as big as they were at 9 weeks they will be way to huge for my house :)

Day 29

The baby goats were born Thursday!

This is Mia.

This is me holding Mia and Millie. 

And just so you can see his progress this is how much Trooper has grown since my post at Christmas.

Day 28

I haven't been up for blogging lately because the Costello home has been busy, busy, busy! Mom an I just got over the flu and now Wesley has strep. Everything has just been so sickly lately.Then Saturday early me and Daddy woke up and took one of the goats (Bosefus) to the sale then went straight and picked up two more! So now we are busy caring for them and eagerly awaiting the birth of more, we are at 7 now and hope to soon be at 11 when the babies arrive.

Okay, the one on the right here is Bosefus the one we sold

This is Ferdinand, whom replaced Bosefus as our buck

This is Pretty Boy Swagger the wether that will go to shows with me

And this is Marcy, one of the two massively pregnant goats who we are urging to go onn and give birth

Also today was Valentine's day and due to the fact I don't have a Valentine I made myself a cake :)

Day 27

I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas!  We had several different get-togethers during the holidays with family and friends!   We had a good time and were able to remember the birth of Jesus.

The first one was at the Alexander's house; Lindsey and Lee came to Alabama the week before Christmas.

Since my birthday is in October, which is a very busy time in our family (football season); I decided to wait and have my birthday party with friends during Christmas break. Here is a shot of us!

We had a great night with family on Friday (Christmas Eve) at Maw's house.

These are the Christmas lights on our house.

Christmas Morning I was surprised with a miniature dachshund puppy!  

I named him Trooper and he is incredibly cute.

He is too cute!

PapPap came to our house for Christmas dinner and a visit.
