I Forgot to Tell You...

April and Nic are here in Arkansas! You may remember, I posted about them like, two months ago. We went up and visited them up in Minnesota, and now, they're here, with Makenzie! She's the one I asked you guys to vote for. =D We went to Chuck E.Cheese today, and it was a blast! =D =D =D I am SO tired! It's crazy! I have no reason to be so tired, but still, I am. =( I'll try to post pics tomorrow. =) Just wanted to tell ya!

Jellyfish

I find this video absolutely HILARIOUS for some reason! My friend, Becky, thinks I'm crazy for liking it so much, so I was just wondering what you guys think of it. =D

Yay!

Tonight, my best friend Becky is spending the night! =D =D =D I know what you're thinking. What's the big deal? Yes, I know she comes over practically every other week, but this weekend is going to be special! We're going to play Monster Hunter Tri and Zelda, and watch ghost movies late at night, and possibly The Dark Knight! =D And very late, we're going to go catch frogs at the pond. So this is going to be so awesome! =D I can't wait! This afternoon, I'm going with her and another friend, Ryan, to a school activity. They both go to school where I used to go, and I keep in touch with everyone. =D I just LOVE hanging out with friends, and since I don't get to do it often, this is especially special! =D I'm going to take pics with my phone while at the activity, and I'll use the camera when I get home. I was planning on making a video of Becky and I playing Monster Hunter Tri (we get pretty worked up) but the webcam on this laptop isn't working, and I can't figure out how to transfer vids from the video camera, so I guess that's out. =( But there will still be pictures!!! =D =D =D =D

Fine Then!

All right, I get it, I get it. You people obviously aren't too interested in my Alaska pictures, so I have decided not to post the rest of them. I do have something else that might interest you. My sister, April, has a daughter, Makenzie. We went up to there house about a month or so ago, you may recall. Well, Makenzie is entered in a Gerber contest, and she needs votes! The prize is $25,000!!!! =O A person is allowed to vote once per day per computer. So Mom and I vote every day, me on my laptop, and she on her PC. I've looked through the pics, and Makenzie is totally the cutest kid entered.  I would really, really, really, really appreciate it if you would vote for her. She already has more than most, but if she were going to win, it would take some dedication. =) So have a heart, and cast some votes. Here's the link:

When you get to the site, click "search photos" down below, and enter this number to find Makenzie: 64377

If you have any trouble at all voting for her, please tell me! This is very important! Thanks! =D 

Alaska Pictures-Part One.

I posted this the first time, and one, maybe two people commented!!!!!! Very disappointing! This took a long time to make, and it's about an awesome trip! When you commented on the last Alaska post, you all wanted pics! Well, here they are! =D
Yes, these are the Alaska pictures!!!!!!! Yay! But only part of them. There are SO many, I would be here all day, so, I'm dividing them up in parts. I would have posted this yesterday on Saturday; interesting story behind that. I woke up at 10:00 (still getting used to the time change from Alaska), ate some donuts, and checked my email. I saw that I had comments on this post titled "My Dream House". I was sitting there thinking, "What? I didn't write that!" So I skedaddled on over and checked it out. Turns out that I made this post awhile back and scheduled it for today. Strange, huh? I like to get maximum comments on a post, so I try not to post more than once a day. So, that's why I'm posting it today. =D

Now, I already posted about what we did in Alaska. If you haven't read that, in order to understand this, you had better go back and read that. I am not sure at all what pictures go with what day, so this should be interesting. =D

At the airport. I may look happy, but I was SO sick! (I just knew that Dad was taking a picture) =D I was using Mom's phone that she lent to me, since I still hadn't gotten my new one!

In the airplane. I was already getting frustrated with Christy, as you can see. When she's wearing that dopey smile, and my hands are doing that, you know that she is annoying me on purpose!

Picture out of the plane.

When we transferred to another plane in Minneapolis, Dad sat across the aisle from me and Christy next to two guys, Kenny and Trampis. (trampis was his last name, we're pretty sure) Trampis was a very loud talker, and talked the WHOLE six hours on the flight! No joke! He was a sniper in the military, really awesome. But he kept swearing, which wasn't cool. But Christy and I noticed something that we thought was so funny. He kept using the word "frikin". Seriously, in every other sentence, he would say it! It was so hilarious! Christy and I were cracking up! (Even though we don't like that word) =D =D =D

Haha, these are like escalators, except they don't go up. They're just running along the floor, and it makes walking so much faster. =D

This is Kenny, one of the guys sitting next to Dad. We saw him and Trampis at the baggage claim.

And this is Trampis with his two little boys. He had been away from home for about four months, I think. His wife is there, but we didn't get her in the picture. =(

Another Day.

We went to some park the very next day. It was cold! And yes, I am wearing flip flops. With my heel still infected, it really hurt to wear shoes, so I wore flip flops. Which I HATE! >=( People walking by gave me lots of funny looks. =D

We went back to the car and got warmer coats. =D

The Next Day

This is a picture of us at the Weekend Market I told you about. =D =D

The food was AWESOME! Wow, my hair looks really long there. =O

One of Dad's random pictures.

That was an awesome malamute in the background!

He was so soft!

I'm not really sure what this is. When I uploaded it, I thought it had something to do with the next pictures.

I can feel the glare from my Texan friends. *cringe*

There was a whole stand dedicated to putting down Texas. Sorry Eldarwen. =D

In case you can't read it, it says:

"There are 2 kinds of people. Those who are Texan and those who wish that they were.

And the second one says:

"There are 2 kinds of people. Those who are Texan and those who are glad they aren't.

LOL Notice the Texan flag on the first one and the Alaskan flag on the second. =D Seriously though, I love Alaska! =D =D =D

Our beautiful room at the Sockeye Inn.

Me texting.

Um, yeah, it was a really nice room.

Pretty mountain!

Same mountain.

Still the same one.

Yes, Dad loves taking these pictures!

I thought that this mountain looked cool because like a little blanket of clouds was draped across the top. It looks like a volcano smoking or something. =D

Behold, the mighty glacier!!!!!!!! lol This one drifted down or something. You might think that it just happened a few days ago, but no. That thing has been there for years! It's so cold, it just barely melts. Weird, huh?

You can see a real glacier between the mountains behind us. And yes, I am texting.

Still texting. But in my defense, I was texting pictures of the glacier piece to everyone. =D

That was a nice car. I loved it. =D

Then we went hiking up to by a real glacier. I had to wear tennis shoes, so my foot hurt a lot, and it took us a long time. If you're wondering why I am not wearing my coat, I had a fever from the infection, plus it was exhausting limping up there! But it was worth it.....I think. =D

See the glacier in front of Christy?

There was like a river running under the ice and snow.

Behind us is where the snow and ice caved in and dropped into the river.

Another one of these pictures. Dad doesn't like asking someone else to take the pictures. =)

=D Even there, you can see that I'm standing on tiptoe on one foot.

I thought that this sign was funny. =D

Resting.

Dad was sure that this plant was fireweed, so he took a picture of it. (By the way, it turned out not to be) lol =D

A Different Day...

Here we are at the docks, trying to pick out a good fishing boat to take us halibut fishing. Yes, it was cold!

Okay, we were driving back, and saw a black bear walking along! You can just barely see the little black dot in the picture, but it's there! =D

We ate at this ridiculously over-priced and over-rated restaurant. Bad!

That's the Sockeye Inn behind us.

Another picture of it.

Sorry ya'll, that's all for now! I have three times this many pictures at least, so I would probably be here for the rest of my life, uploading and captioning them. =D More coming up soon!

My Dream House!

This is another scheduled post, I'm still in Alaska. And I still miss all of you guys! =( Anyway, on a tag a long time ago, it said to describe my dreamhouse, and I said that I didn't have to describe it, I already knew where it was! So, here are the pics.

Isn't it pretty? I just love it!

Especially the red door. =D

This is just a little ways down from our house, and I visit it often. =D

Ahhhhhhh..... =D
