Hey all you blog followers, it's me Rachel <3
It's time for my monthly imput and since mom hasn't posted in awhile, I figure that I'd better :]
So here's the update-
1.) School is coming!!!!!! Ahhhhh! That's probably why mom hasn't posted recently, because she's been too busy trying to get everything set up in her room and ready for school to start. Frankly, I wish I could press the pause button on life right about now because I SOOOOOOOOO do not want to start the craziness of school again. Also, this year's going to be a toughie. Here's the lowdown on my schedule---
-A DAY-
1. Honors U.S. History
2. Honors English 3
3. Biology and C Lunch
4. Robed Choir
-B DAY-
1. Human Behavior
2. Spanish 3
3. P.E. and C Lunch
4. Pre-Calc.
(we have block scheduling in case you were confused)

So yeah, as you can see, it's going to be difficult this year in the classes department. And that's just first semester. I have to take trigonometry AS WELL AS pre-calc. second semester. Just kill me now! ;)
Ok, so maybe I'm making more of this than I should. But please, if you're praying, say a prayer of wisdom and patience for me!

2.) This week's been pretty crazy, especially with Levi having had his surgery on Monday, which is, by the way, going pretty well. He is recovering ok. However, he does have a slight ear infection and some respiratory problems he's dealing with right now, but he went the doctor today and got some medicine for it so hopefully he'll be feeling better soon.

3.) I had a birthday party for one of my friends from school (Gwenyth)on Wednesday and decided to post some pictures from that. Every year we redo a Disney movie and her mom tapes us. The first two years I wasn't at her party because we weren't as good as friends then but they did "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz". Last year we did "Peter Pan" and this year we did "The Little Mermaid". It's super fun and I look forward to her party every year!





This is just a random one (not from the party) but I like it so I decided to put it on here. TeeHee, the wind is making my hair stick up. :]

Here's Amber, me, and Gwenyth (the birthday girl) peacing it in our jammies


Here are some of our costumes. We use all of Gwenyth's old dance costumes and dress up clothes. Pretty soon we're going to have to find something else though because some of her costumes are getting a bit too small. Gwenyth was Ariel, (this is her land costume) I was Mrs. Triton and Princess Erica, (instead of Prince Eric) Sydney was Sebastiania and Janessa, and Amber was Flounder


We're super cute! Ambs, Me, Gwen, and Dakota getting ready for bed
