Blogging with the Bobels

I got up at 9:30 today. I guess that's pretty late, but I've been going to bed late the last couple of days. We had to make 7 pies for the shower on Saturday.  I wonder why they didn't come out good?  Last night, we went to Keene to play mini-golf with Kurt. I was winning in the first half, but my ball went in the water two times after that so....... Oh, and we couldn't find the net to get it out so we used our hands. It was really gross water. We were going to go do go-cart racing, but it was closed by the time we finished golf.
  So, we are officially going to Prince Edward Island this September.  We're going to be staying right next to Green Gables in a place called Kindred Spirits. I just want to go to see Anne's land!
  Kristen is rattling off jokes right now and I can't think any more.

 

We tried again to play tennis at the park this morning. We even got up earlier than last time,but those seniors beat us again!  
Oh, we finally got down to Mass. yesterday to do some biking.  Went about ten miles on the trail, then we went on a road in the corn fields.  Western Mass. is so beautiful. My dad says he's very proud of where he was born and raised!  We did a lot of shopping while we were down there too.  You know, you cannot pass up a mall!
I have to go mow now...................

Do you know what's SOOOOOO annoying?? I had just finished updating my journal and it erased it because of a "problem". Oh, that's So annoying. Now I have to rewrite it.

Yesterday, we went down to the Heavners,(again) and Jamie had rented a movie that she wanted us to see. It's called Paper Clips and it was really interesting.  It was about this school in Tennessee that did a study on the Holocaust. Did you know Hitler murdered six million Jews? And five million other people? One of the kids at the school had a hard time grasping the number six million, so they decided to collect something small to see what six million looks like.  One of the students found out that the paper clip has a interesting history...........it was used in WWII. When all was said and done they collected 29 million clips!!  They then bought a rail car in Germany that was actually used to ship people to concentration camps.  They filled it with 11 million clips to represent the people Hitler killed.  It's now a pemanent memorial behind the school. It looks really nice how they set it up. Oh, this happened from1998-2001.

I really like the series LOVE COMES SOFLY, so Iooked it up on the internet and found out that there are two more coming out this year! They changed some actors though. I don't like that. I found out a little about what they're about but, I won't spoil it!!

Jamie took 4 of us girls out to breakfast at 6:30 yesterday.  That's pretty early for me!!  When we got back, I did a little school,then mom decided to go play tennis.  She thought that since it was early in the day, nobody would be there. Boy, were we wrong!!  It was PACKED with seniors taking lessons.  So much for that!!  We then got together with Jamie to do some stuff for Jodi's bridal shower.  After that, Kristen and I went to the Heavner's.  We stayed there for 5 hours, most of that time was spent freezing ourselves in the brook.  I'm going to try to go into our pool today! HAHA
   Oh, we got to see pics of Baby Luke yesterday too!!  I have to say, he's a very cute newborn!!  We're watching Robert and Josiah today. Josiah's sleeping at my feet at the moment.  Did you know taking care of a baby is extemely tiring?!!!!!  Didn't get any school done today.
   I'm reading a very interesting book. It's about Terri Shiavo. Anybody remember her? She was the lady that her husband had her feeding tube removed in 2005 and she died of starvation.  There were a lot of unanswered questions, so this detective investigated and then wrote the book that I'm now reading.  I have to go, Kristen is trying to wake up the baby by pounding on the door.  

Today we stacked a cord of wood.  BORING!  Dad just called me upstairs for some reason so I'm doing whatever he asked me to do.   It's raining right now so I'm kinda bored.  Well I must be, I'm writing in here!   I just came down stairs and I'm asking Kristen what she's writing in here.  The mail just came! YEAH HOO!  I'm gonna go get it............ boo hoo, didn't get anything. 

Okay...................... That was NOT me writing.  Anyways, Let's see......... Yesterday we did school, then walked down to get Slurpees at 7-11 with Lacy, our neighbor.  I held Buddy outside while they went inside to get the Slurpees, which was a HUGE mistake because they got me the worst kind of flavor ever- BLUE RASPBERRY!  I like Coke the best, but they said it wasn't ready.  So while we were walking back we were trying to decide who we would give the unused Slurpee to.  We decided to give it to this really cute four-year-old girl named Marley, who just moved here last year.  Her mom,( who's closer in age to us than her kids) is really nice and I really like talking to her.  She's expecting a baby next week.  She'll then have 3 kids ages 4 and under!!!!!!!  So we ended up talking to them until dinner time, then Mom and Dad had to go to a meeting, so it was just us home. Kurt worked with Jerod yesterday and came home with the most burnt neck I've ever seen!! He was really grouchy.  Then I guess Kristen told you what we have so far done today.  The wood stacking wasn't so bad once you get in the groove!!  

 Oh, I almost forgot, Kristen brought Buddy to the vet on Monday and we found out he has to go in for some operations. One is for his teeth, which are really gross!! The second one is for three mysterious lumps on his stomach. The vet wasn't sure what they were, but better safe than sorry!!  Poor puppy!!  What if they're cancerous?? What would I do without my puppy??

Ok, one last thing, SOMEBODY thinks my profile picture looks like something out of a horror movie. How nice people are!! It's not the best pic though- came out really fuzzy too.
